The world is a better place for having this great man in it. His exhuberance and keeness, his child-like joy of the world is inspiring. I am not his age but have not half the energy it seems! Always wonderful to watch and listen. Captivating!
it never ceases to amaze me that this professor still has all his digits, must be a great deal of fun to be in his labs.
Ross Betts I know. Immense jealousy is present du to my schools lack of a fume hood for doing experiments.
Ross Betts “)(
Not quite like Prfessor Bunsen Burner, eh?!
This is a great example how emotion can play a role in successful education. An engaged teacher is much better than a disillusioned one. I had a similar one in primary school (chemistry as well), unfortunately we didn't have the buck to fund all the cool experiments he does here, but she was very good and I've learned a lot from her. Big kudos to Andrew Szydlo for being more energetic and engaged than I am in spite of being more than twice my age.
You could have told your teachers name. Gave her a shout out... = )
I love Andrew Szydlo's videos, I started watching his videos and I recommended them to my dad, and within a month... my father finished watching every Andrew Szydlo's videos. I'm 12 and I had no interest in chemistry, and after watching his videos... I know what aldehydes are. Thank you so much Andrew Szydlo!
This guy is a joy to watch.
We all wish that our school teachers had the same passion with Andrew Szydlo.
Thanks RI.
I absolutely love how frazzled he is, this is a fantastic lecture if thats even the right word to describe it. He's absolutely into what he's talking about and that makes a great lecture. Full marks and I love this channel!
Kyle Richards the lovely thing about Andrew Szydlow, and I really respect him for this, is the fact that even though he's got a BSc, and a Masters MSc, and a PhD, CChem, FRiS, and he's a fellow of the Royal Institution, and about as well educated as one can possibly be in chemistry and physics..
.. he has taught children from his earliest career - without wanting to, or feeling the need to, go into industry, or go on to become a university professor.
He cares so much about children's education that he has stayed as a children's lecturer for the better part of his career.
Hats off Sir. Total respect.
So many thoughts…how many don’t make it out.
Andrew Szydlo is a chemistry _ROCKSTAR!!!_
....and self confessed pyromaniac
I can see and hear just how passionate Prof. Szydlo is about his field of study. Cheers to the Royal Institute!
Andrew gives the distinct impression of being on speed
+mramazingfuntime Somehow he makes me nervous and is quite unpleasant to watch lol
+mramazingfuntime Well, speed + friction = fire. :)
+mramazingfuntime This made me laugh a lot! It is so true. The last time I was that enthusiastic about anything I was on cocaine. I think he's good though
+Markus Birth (mbirth)
Speed + friction = heat. The fire comes after you add combustible and oxygen to the equation.
+mramazingfuntime You should watch the video in 1.5x or 2x speed its amusing haha
I cannot imagine chemistry without Andrew Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is the type is man who can really make an impact on children or learners of any age really. He is passionate about his subject, provides practical applications of the theory, and makes learning exciting. It doesn't matter what field you are in, there are many lessons you can learn from him beyond chemistry.
My three favourite things on RUclips:
Donovan’s “Catch the Wind”;
Pushkin’s poems;
Andrew Szydlo.
As with almost every video, I watched this too at a playback speed of 1.5, and Prof. Szydlo's breathless enthusiasm is truly accentuated! :)
These kids are the luckiest. Never seen someone passionate, humble and talented.
this guy gives me so many wiki tabs
Kallan Si
Sounds like some made up video game illness lol
I know right. I have to keep stopping every 2 minutes to open another wiki tab to look up words that he's saying and fully immerse myself in the meaning of them..
I started with the word adiabatic.. and by the end of his lecture I had about 14 wiki tabs open lol.
you gotz the wiki tabs too?!? stay strong bro someday there will be a cure.
Out of all the videos I've seen, Andrew is by far the best.
Luckily I had a teacher like this in high school. Made me study biology and chemistry
Dr. Szydlo's presentations should be shown once a month in every high school science class. Fascinating stuff.
Imagine having this guy as a teacher in school. Amazing!
I'm amazed by the presentation! Wonderful work. Glad that we have such people and the organizations like this. Thanks Ri.
What a great show of chemical skill, the history of the art of fire, and no time to be bored. Reminds me of my high school chemistry teacher, also quite a show if students lost attention. Great display of knowledge, across the spectrum from biology, chemistry through physics, and very clear, concise explanation of everything he was doing. It's been fifty years since my high school, but I remember those classes clearly, and used all the knowledge in electronics, mechanics, and truly, my whole life. Thank you very much for some truly splendid chemistry lessons, and your assistant is incredible as well, kudos on the violin duet, that too, was awesome.
this guy is my favorate of enyone that has been on this chanel
Andrew Szydlo is one of the best presenters with such infectious enthusiasm. If you weren't thinking about the wonders of chemistry, you are now!
That is so true
I now want to do chemistry
@Darius Kang I agree Professor Bishop's lectures are well thought out and are very slick where as Prof Szydlo's come across as disorganised, however, he still has an "infectious" enthusiasm about him and I think this is important to encourage those who might consider chemistry as a degree. I remember I had both sorts of lecturers during my undergrad days and they can complement one another. Of course you can end up with some lecturers who may babble on and not say anything and quickly lose the respect of the students, we had one guy like this for genetics- it was paper aeroplanes every lecture almost, until the dean was called in and ALL lectures for that year turned into tutorials. And yeah, we do indeed follow Chris Bishop's lectures.

Haha this guy makes me laugh. He is so intensely excited about what he does every single time and I love it.
what a legend this man is. i find it easier to learn from him than others, having ADHD. i dont know why. great video
I love his presenations always great fun to watch.
These videos have been helping me sleep, they're so informative and well explained I love this
Andrew Z. Szydło is as amazing as the chemistry itself! I've just watched his lecture at University of Technology in Łódź, Poland and I'm even more amazed at how awesome this man is. I thought that the lecture was gonna be in English since he was born in UK and lives there, but he was speaking Polish like a native, with no foreign accent at all! What a great guy
*BIG EXPLOSION* "This is the last experiment!"...I sure hope so, because topping that would probably entail blowing off the roof off the RI's amphitheater! Love this teacher!!!
I absolutely love Andrew's lectures. His enthusiasm is infectious and the children present are clearly really enjoying the experiments. I wish my science teachers at school had been such fun.
This is exactly the kind of lecture that got me interested in science. Exciting, fast paced and packed full of information. It makes me eager to learn more. So many people demonstrating science make the most interesting subjects dull but I could probably listen to Andrew Szydlo lecture about paint drying.
If Andrew was my instructor when I was a kid I would definitely be a chemist today. What a brilliant teacher. 👍
What a cutie! His energy is so adorable! :D It's always nice to hear a lecture by someone who cares about being there!
I love him style and music. I what country was he born and is the music from there? He seems as passionate about it as his science. I admire that. It is beautiful
Really great and informative videos.
Thanks for taking the time to make the videos and share them. 😊
Andrew Szydlo students from India. Love you sir
I'm sure Michael Faraday would be sat in the audience loving Andrews lectures, saying that this is what this lecture theatre was built and designed for.
I'm sure when he's teaching, that these experiments and explanations would each last about an hour or so on each, he's just trying to reduce all that time into one hour, but he always runs on longer, but who cares because he's passionate about his subject and look forward to more in the future.
Those of you complaining about the speed of his speech and rushing the experiments. You can find all these experiments in greater detail on RUclips but you'll spend a lot longer than 1 1/4 hrs watching them all, but then you can watch these videos and then decide what you want to go into more, this is an introduction to chemistry almost
I can't stop laughing. Love Professor Andrew Szydlo so much!
The best professor of all times... I love this man.
This guy rules, no quit in him, one of the best RUclips vids ever
I’m a graduate level student in the midst of a career change towards medicine and i am addicted to prof syzdlo’s lecturers during this global lockdown social distancing period...... thank the lord for prof syzdlo ... ;)
I wish my chemistry teacher was as amusing as this guy.
I love watching this guy, Andrew Szydlo is the greatest imo.
just one word for this: FANTASTIC !!!
Thoroughly enjoyable. And I especially liked his on stage interaction with his assistant.
Light fuse, fly up, go BOOM!
That’s the technical description of a firework.
You’re welcome.
Professor Szydio is superb! His enthusiasm, intelligence and presentation style make for an engaging and entertaining lecture, indeed!
Its really awesome to see someone love their job so much. He makes people who hate science become interested in it.
This is the second video I've found by Andrew but I don't know if I can watch it. There's something about the way he keeps talking so fast and never stops that literally makes me crazy. I feel like I can't breathe LOL! Speed kills, Andrew.
I'd like to have seen this guy on his honeymoon. Now hold on a minute dear, let me put this right here, you see the idea is to get contact all around and create friction and Heat, oh my, I believe it's shrunk, let me get some help from my assistant, Gloria, would you come over here dear? Oh, there you go, that seems to have worked quite nicely, let's have another go at it shall we dear?
OMG, when does Andrew even take a breath. haha. There is still good info in his ramblings. I also like his bumbling and honest discourse. He humanizes both science and scientists. He is totally engaging with his bumbling and honesty. This is what can excite a young person to become excited about science, engaged and go further in their own discovery of science, perhaps leading to a career. Students should be exposed to all the different sciences as they just might be inspired to head down that road, not even knowing it existed. The same goes for exposing students to the arts and social sciences as well.
I've love to know his blood pressure before/after this lesson
Dr.Szydlo is really funny and enthusiast, I would have loved a teacher like him when I was at school
I appreciate sir for his enthalpy, adiabatic & thermodynamic approach in teaching
This guy and Chris bishop are the best English lecturers I've ever seen
Andrew ? He's not an English lecturer, he's a chemistry lecturer.
Lol, but I knew what you mean 😊
i have deficiency of speech discrimination so andrew syzdlo's all demonstrations are expected with english subtitle .
Explosions sprinkled through a lecture. Outstanding!
45:01 that kids is how I react when I see one of Andrew Szydlo’s videos I haven’t seen before!
I love watching great minds at work.
Great Work
He is too humble for his own good. Such an amazing human
he is not using the spring to start the motor at 15:32 hence why it is difficult to start and goes backwards
+Jared Reabow (Jazza) Yeah. When it fires, the added compression of that initial combustion coming before the piston hits top dead centre kicks the motor back the other way. And since it's a 2-stroke diesel, it doesn't really care much which direction it spins. Probably would have been better using a small drill to start the engine.
Things I learned from this lecture: When giving a lecture like this, I need to:
- prepare things in advance
- place demonstrations in front of the desk, visible to audience (not hidden behind clutter)
- speak clearly and slowly. Finish all sentences before starting another one. Think beforehand about what I want to say.
- Don't select experiments that wil have the public sit through minutes of just watching you nervously disassemble and reassemble it, or manually spin a propeller around.
If that's all you learned, it's highly unlikely that you'll be giving any lectures like this any time soon.
I frickin love this entire dude, I really wish I had him in my family, I'd make sure to harvest as much of his knowledge as possible.
I can easily picture myself ending up like that, have I had the source of knowledge and access to the required means to do so!
Szydlo is a marvelous product from the combination of classical ettiquite and enthusiasm with modern vulnerability and openness
I was a little worried when he started mixing pyrotechnic compositions fast and carelessly, but other than that it was a phenomenal demonstration.
+dstnlockwood77 and when he handled acids without gloves!!
+za7v9ier You honestly don't need gloves to handle acids
+dstnlockwood77 depends on the molarity and degree of dissociation, of course. strong acids will give you a real bad time, but citrus acids from fruit give no hassle.
+Not my real name Look up Nile Red's video of him pouring acids on his hand.
well shit, so much for ochem lab safety procedures
Respect
Hats off to a great pioneer of teaching in chemistry and a bit of history too
Andrew Szydlo, you are brilliant! I have the greatest respect for you. Your performances are beyond expression. I found myself either saying the name of a thing along with you, or learning an aspect that I'd never thought of. Thanx so much.
If this was 3000 years ago, he'd be a wizard and i'd definately be an acolyte.
An acolyte of Szydlo, THE LORD OF FIREEEE! \o/
The screw on the top of the engines adjusts the compression ratio. These little diesels are more likely to run backwards when the compression is set a bit too high. The trick is to let it run and warm up then stop the engine, back off the compression and try again.
53:18 "if you're afraid of bangs you should definitely leave now" ... one lone poor kid leaves
For my fellow pyros, 27:00. You're welcome.
+dstnlockwood77 yay :P
dstnlockwood77 Me.
Just wanted to say I feel asleep watching videos on corvettes and woke up to this🤣 thanks youtube
"So while we wait for the three explosions to occur at any time, I will prepare to set off a mortar." ~ I love this guy.
Those very small engines are notorious for accidentally starting to spin the wrong direction.
On remote control aircraft, they started to put Springs on them, so that way they wouldn't spin the wrong direction.
1:01:00 Now I'm recalling the footage of the Hindenburg disaster, except that everyone escaping and running from the airship yelling and screaming, each one sounding like a chipmunk.
Hes brilliant. Inspiring the next generation. Vital skill. Well done Andrew + Ri
Such enthusiasm ! Fantastic !
that man's a riot :) interesting and entertaining at the same tim .. quite unique .. thanks Professor :)
such teachers on university and education is not longer a problem for all mankind. -Teaching with love is the key. :-)
Oh dear. Andrew's seal wasn't lubricated well enough and now it's knackered! This guy is a legend:)
I love this guy! 😂He’s like a modern day Merlin! 🧙♂️
That Laphroaig canister is a very appropriate choice for the rocket demonstration. It's just about smokey enough to self-ignite the OH fuel. :)
45:00 LOL at the jumping kid
This guy is strung so tight, his heart will give in....take a moment to breathe....
Fascinating ! Thanks for that Andrew !!
Brilliant, just brilliant.
Plot twist: people clap hoping that the lecture is over .
Edit: it's just a joke.....
i had almost forgotten how much i loved this channel
This is a lesson in perseverance for a good experience with experiments. Well done. ✔
Wonderful as always
i used to start these little model aircraft motors the same way maybe 45 years ago when I was a young lad. the principle DOES work amazingly enough, but you get into a routine of spinning the propeller as you attempt to start the motor and when it DOES kick in.....OUCH!!! *&^ MY F&^%$G Finger!!!! wearing leather gloves is a MUST!
He reacts to applause like I react to people clapping between movements of a symphony
He's absolutely brilliant... Just the kind of man you'd want for an uncle to spice up a boring family dinner...
This guy talks while
he breaths inn and out.
This guy can wear you out just watching him. Great demonstrations though and he obviously had a passion for science.
I love this guy!!!
What fun!
I hope these stimulate kids to explore further!
I wish they had given this Hogwarts professor a standing ovation in the end for his efforts!
Used for making VERY high explosives… that’s my favorite sentence.
They surely need a huge extractor on the top.
This guy is a absolute legend!!
Fantastic.
