The Self Pouring Teapot!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 авг 2024
- This Victorian invention allows you to pour out cups of tea without needing to lift the teapot! Certainly a full teapot can be quite heavy, and an advert at the time said it 'does away entirely with the drudgery of lifting the Tea-Pot!'
The self pouring teapot was invented by John Royle, a Victorian industrialist and inventor from Manchester, England. Initially it was more of a novelty or promotional item, something he could give to his most important customers. But it became popular, and several thousand ceramic versions were made by Doulton & Co., and a metal version was made by Joseph Dixon & Sons of Sheffield.
How does it work? Well, the metal lid forms a kind of piston that fits snugly into the top of the teapot, which appears to have been ground internally to form a perfect cylinder. The handle on the lid is made of a non conducting material, so it does not get hot. In the middle of the handle is a small air hole. Lift the lid, and this allows air into the teapot. Then place your finger over the hole and push the lid down again; the increased pressure inside the teapot causes the tea to come out of the spout. Inside, there is a hole right at the bottom of the pot, and this leads up to the spout. Thus every last drop of tea can be 'poured'. The adverts at the time suggested that because you were forcing the water in the teapot out through the tea leaves, which sat at the bottom of the pot, you got a better cup of tea. Notice how the spout is curved such that it is pointing downwards - just pop your cup underneath to get a re-fill!
A descendant of John Royle has created a web site with more information - see www.roylesteapot.co.uk/
they're not just toys; they're artifacts of engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and historical trends.
I feel like a lot of good toys are that too. A really good toy can organically teach someone something without being too on the nose
Toys are time machines to some degree.
They can tell you a lot about the period of their construction, that and they are just nice to have.
Don't forget the sentimental value.
And some times assassination!

Tim has these videos down to a tea. Pouring with enthusiasm, never one to stir. 👍
I'll get your coat. :)=
"down to a tea", you sir have earned yourself a brew for that very clever choice of words
I was just about to say *tee then I got the joke
🤔😯
Lukewarm puns
Excuse my ignorance - I don't know the story behind how Tim's channel emerged with the crew/team behind it but I fancy that he and someone from a film background randomly crossed paths and the producer was, as we clearly all are, enamoured by his ability to make you feel at ease with embracing a lost childhood intrigue and curiosity in the mechanics of the world. The first time most of us are exposed to that is in toys. We learn so much through play. Tim effortlessly makes that intrigue an aspect of both child and adult minds alike, a thing to embrace without any ridiculous sense of embarrassment. The stories he has to tell must be captivating. Stories which even the most 'grown-ups' would learn a thing or two by casting their mind back to when they had their inquisitive, absorbent 7 year old mind. Tim - I honestly thank you for allowing me most evenings to destress from the seemingly trivial stresses of an adult working life and appreciate again what it means to discover, to play, to break, to fix , to create, to learn and GROW. And not necessarily grow UP. You're one of the greats. Mad respect.
The clue is in the name of the channel. Check out their website, for all those interesting things you really need.
Well-written.
This man speaks for all of us.
I love how this ends with "mad respect".
That would be a great invention for people with arthritis who have trouble lifting and pouring the tea pot, great video.
Pump pot thermoses are common (and used to be even more common before keurig and other coffee machines) for coffee, tea, and hot water servings in associations or any events where hot drinks and something edible was expected to be served in a non-catered way for a group :) The filter doesn't have to be built into the container, as there are many different ways to filter tea leaves with removable/insertable loose leaf filters. Pump thermoses are super great even if you don't have arthritis and the like. You can just make a whole batch of tea or coffee and enjoy all day (fruity red bush tea with chili is a personal favorite for winters).
As in yes, this must have been fantastic, and this sort of household convenience tool still is going strong.
They still have to lift the cup
@@henrikmonkee better then lifting the entire pot
@@Call-me-Al We always use a huge pump pot for family gatherings when 20+ people need coffe, nifty thing indeed!
@@gabe8168 gotta lift the kettle
Tim: "One for me, one for you & one for the teapot"
That made my day!
No internet drama, no trend chasing, no pandering.
I love how all Tim's videos are just: "hey, look at this neat thing I found."
....... 🙄🙄
"no dumb comments" could have been on the list too but u showed up
😐
I have to say I enjoy all your videos but I especially liked the format of this one. Focusing on one thing and giving a more elaborate history/presentation on it was so fun to me.
Every time that I feel sad, depressed, or anxious. I watch his videos. It has a calm and peaceful tone. Just something pure and clean. I have been watching him off and on for 5 years. He’s helped me through my dads death, my mother drinking rages, mother being locked in prison, to now living with grandparents. I was in 6th grade, new to a new school. To now a senior in high school soon to be going to college. Thank you Tim from the bottom of my heart. Honestly you helped me so much. I am sorry if my grammar in this comment is bad. I am in bed rn and kinda sleepy. But THANK YOU TIM.
Hi William, sorry to hear all that you've been through. That's so tough and I can't imagine. I'm so glad you found some comfort in this channel. Congrats on working hard and getting this far! I don't know what you're studying, but find a career or job that's pretty interesting to you and pays a livable salary. You'll have so much independence soon and things will be so much better. Surround yourself with true friends that treat you well and want the best for you; they're hard to find but once you do, life is so much brighter. Best of luck my friend!
This is the only RUclips channel that manages to make me watch stuff about tea pots with utter fascination. Great and unusual content as ever.
Tim, it's my birthday today and having a cup of tea with you from this very special teapot is the best gift ever ❤️🌸
Happy belated birthday 🎂 hope you had a great day!
Tim is so powerful he can travel six years into the past, and then back again, without so much as losing his train of thought
I was actually surprised at the exact mechanism of this thing. I had honestly expected it to be something a tad more complex than a simple pump
Yeah I'd imagine this would take more time and effort then just pouring the pot yourself, but a cool invention nonetheless. I assumed it would be a weighted pressure on the pump part that would slowly push the tea out anytime you pressed a lever or unscrewed the top.
yea why not just pour it smh.
@@AsiandOOd Large, heavy ceramic teapot full of hot liquid. This was meant for Victorian ladies.
The tea pump - the most British bit of engineering ever conceived!
A delightful episode! Old and new technology brought together to celebrate humanity's ingenui-tea. Thanks for sharing, Tim.
ingenui-tea is a good one!!! xD
Family of tea drinkers here, perfect video. We need this!
So glad you've kept this intro music - always look forward to that part ❤️
This was completely new to me, the ingenuity of the pot is simple yet remarkable. And so well presented too, well done Tim!
Tea from the Nile
The most english videos I’ve ever seen in my life !
It amazes me that it works perfectly after so many years. I have to point out that's a grand mug to drink tea in.
No wonder why this videos got all that charm from old tv shows! They are wonderfully produced by former BBC guys who are doing all the filming and editing!
Have you ever seen a man so excited to pour tea? Man, I love the happiness and positivity that you bring.
Its not about toys... Its about Tim explaining random stuff that makes me watch this channel... So relaxing to hear his voice...
Tim has returned! Now with an ancient Magical teapot!
“Oh that’s suPERB.”
I love the way this guy speaks. I never get tired of hearing him talk.
Nothing better than tea from a teapot. Splendid.
Wow, the addition of some pictures of the man and the patent picture and all that really enhance the viewing experience :D
I could listen to Tim all day and I would never get bored
Okay, this one was a lot of fun! I want a teapot like that 😅
This was 5 minutes of absolute 'sereni-tea'! 😁😊😬 So lovely
These videos make me so happy
This man just drank boiling hot tea
This man is a legend, collecting and talking about wonderful gizmos, toys and pieces of engineering art
Finally a wholesome and interesting video about tea on RUclips that doesn't need to do with Instagram or TikTok celebrities insulting and accusing each other over some makeup product or something mundane.
A pump using Bernoulli's principle. You can’t compress liquids so it pushes the tea through the strainer and out the pot. That’s pretty neat
That's not Bernoulli's principle. Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. Bernoulli's principle explains how an airplane wing produces lift, for example. The teapot works simply because lowering the lid decreases the volume of the pot, increasing the air pressure, which equalizes by shifting the contents to the area of lower pressure: the outside of the pot. The increase in pressure with decreasing volume would be explained by Boyle's law, not Bernoulli's.
@@seikibrian8641 correct!
@@seikibrian8641 This one 🙌
@@seikibrian8641 I like it that you didn't correct Glass' statement with just a "hurr, u wrong, u an idiet, read more", but you actually gave a proper explanation with examples and the proper answer. The world needs more people like you :D
Superb!
On a side note I'd really like to hear this man voicing some kind of wizards or alchemists in video games/movies.
I am so glad he is still alive.
What a great invention, makes you wonder why you don't see clever designs like this anymore.
Seriously, enough with electrically-powered gadgets; inventors today should put some more focus on inventions that use the power of physics.
Because a lot has already been invented
I agree with FunkYeah that some people are a little too in love with using electricity for everything, but it also might be that the problems some inventions try to solve are obsolete or so specific to groups people rarely think about (like disabled or elderly people). That's not an excuse for inventors to stop being inventive, of course. A lot of infomercials have products with a similar charm, and a lot of people online write them off as 'lazy' because they don't consider the use they have for other groups.
@@JanetStarChild every computer uses the power of physiks to an unimaginable extent. Whats your point?
If anybody ever calls me lazy, Ima show them this guy who invented a teapot so he wouldn't have to tilt it slightly.
Something I truly miss about living in England: electric kettles. On a 240v power grid, your water goes from cold to boiling hot in literal seconds. We can't get that on our piddly 120v here in the States.
Love this channel ❤
I couoldn't handle tea that strong but I respect you for your fortitude Tim!
Still my favourite youtube channel by a mile.
I love how this video has a very educational side to it. With a bit of history and the investigation with the camera. Very nice!
There's something about this man that just makes you smile uncontrollably and I love it. What a good man.
4:54 - forgot the name of the inventor! “Tea man”!! 😂😂
brightens my day to watch this!
Okay now that's flipping cool I want this teapot now
It's not often I can describe a video as delightful. Today I get my chance
I just want to say , thank you for your service and sharing us knowledge...
Different than usual, but I really like this format of investigating one particular item along with inserted images and more editing. Would love to see more!
Is nobody gonna talk about how Tim has a colonoscopy camera?
I almost want to see Tim show off a teapot collection, if he (most likely) has one. It'd be interesting to see the other kinds of teapots he has aside from this one and the Assassin's Teapot he showed off a long while ago.
Very fascinating show! Love to watch more of this :>
Such a English gentlemen, I'm so glad there are people like this
beautiful way of making a pump that does not require any seals or maintenance and is easy to clean.
A classic Teapot always glad to see it
*before watching this, I could infer from the thumbnail alone that this teapot has a mind of it's own, and will only pour the redacted material it contains whenever I don't want it to.*
your chanel gives me so much comfort
Thank you to the @Grand Illusions team for this lovely video. Editing to include extra visuals was a nice addition to the information discussed.
I am delighted to see you back in the studio Tim! Stay safe and healthy - lots of love from Australia
Him existing is already just wholesome
This is very British
Very cool.
And a good explanation of how the tea pot works.
This is so fun to watch god bless you
You didn't let your tea steep very long. Haha
I love your insane collection it makes me feel like my obsession with oddball random objects and things is validated so much :) each object HAS a story and a human connection behind it
Tim, I 100% agree that milk is entirely unneeded when it comes to tea. I only want sugar (or honey in rare instances) in the cup with my tea
In Northern Germany we first put a rock of sugar in the cup and fill it with tea. After that we put some cream in it, without stirring. First you get the very strong tea composition we use, then the silkyness of the cream and at last the sweet base. It is truly a delight.
🤦🏻♂️
good to see tim and the crew doing fine
Glad to see he's alive and well!
these are great teapots. im fortunate to have have one. there is a small flaw with these teapots when they are made in ceramic, they all have the exact same crack under the spout and inside the pot over the channel itself from the casting process.
Glad he is back!
He shows you an incredible invention, and then MAKES ENOUGH TEA FOR YOU TOO!?
Many many great inventions came out of Manchester, England.
excellent outro there Tim. adds so much grace to your videos. excellent as always!
This guys channel should be verified because he deserves it
that was really nice, thank you.
Thanks Tim
it's good to see you Tim
That’s a super cool tea pot
YESS SO GLAD YOUR VIDEOS ARENT FLOPPING ANYMORE
Why has nobody thought to recreate this. It’s so simple, yet utter genius.
I really like the new animated intro
(I haven’t watched in a little bit)
What a lovely idea.
This is now the fourth or fifth video from you specifically that Google has sent me to in the last twenty minutes of searching for different types of teapots! 😂
Every time I see a post from here, I am relieved and know the fragile balance of the world is still in order.
Well done the tea man 🤣
Tim, a man who loves tea cannot be all bad. I might not use a fancy tea pot, but I love tea.
I also hate the new keyboard lay out on my Nook.
this grandpa is what i call a veteran.
That's not too far off from how modern Keurigs work.
This is the most wholesome thing I've ever seen

Thank you for the tea sir!
Great vid
What a clever device!
He’s too wholesome
these videos are still entertaining since i first watched grand illusions Years ago -
This video especially, Very entertaining!
Whoahow!!! Pneumatic push pump teapot!!! No way!! Revolutionary for the time, to this day yeah!
This is such an interesting look into the history of vacuum based carafes I love this kinda sh*t
Just wanna say thank you for making these video's, Tim. They really brighten my day :)
Superb indeed
