The name Albert Einstein has become a byword for genius - and rightly so. The German physicist’s theories of Special and General Relativity fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the universe to a degree not seen since Isaac Newton, while his groundbreaking 1905 papers on Brownian Motion and the Photoelectric Effect laid the groundwork for modern atomic and quantum theory. Yet despite his status as a giant of theoretical physics, one thing Einstein is not commonly associated with is hands-on mechanical innovation. It may thus come as a surprise that Einstein actually held over 50 patents for practical devices ranging from hearing aids, cameras, gyrocompasses, and even a stylish vest with an adjustable elasticated waistband. But the vast majority of Einstein’s patents covered an altogether unexpected device: a new kind of refrigerator.

Simon please make a smash that dislike button face mask so I can shut up and take my money
I wonder where all the freon products were disposed of?
"I'm tired of drinking warm beer." -- A. Einstein
Actually, Germans prefer their beer room temperature, perhaps he developed a taste for cold beer in America, but unlikely; you taste beer (and anything else for that matter) at room temperature so much more.
@@LeoStaley this is incorrect.
If you serve me a warm beer I'll throw it in your face.
@@lollerich I should have said room temperature. I was wrong, and I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me
I know it's a joke, but Einstein avoided alcohol like the plague, inspiring generations of physicists to do likewise. His drug of choice was nicotine, and also some caffeine, and that's it.
"... Which had a nasty habit of bursting into flames..."
I guess one could say it was blazing 😇
@SLCPunked allegedly 😇
I like the RV type refrigerators. When i bought my trailer the little fridge it had didn't work. In reading about them, if they leak you Know it. Liquid ammonia rusts anything, so if you don't see a ton of rust, then take it out of the vehicle and turn it upside down for a day, then back upright for a day, a lot of times they will start working again. Apparently the liquid ammonia refrigerant they use all settles to the bottom and doesn't flow right, Tip it over and get liquid back into the pipes and it starts flowing right again. Worked for mine anyways. Pretty robust system really. They last forever, and just operate by a little candle flame.
Everyone remembers when Einstein traveled back in time to kill Hitler.
Einstein fridge: F=ice^2
Right! "Just another hold my beer i got this moment for Einstein".
Love your videos my friend keep it up only found you recently. Gonna start making more of my own videos because of these. Hopefully can use you as some inspiration.
Oh you totally need to do another video on Szilard. You just scratched the surface of his inventions!
Would have been so much better if Albert worked with Rosen instead of Szliard.
An Einstein Rosen fridge. 😏
This is why I am subscribed, you always teach me something new! That is why I love your videos!
Why a refrigerator? How about something useful like a talking space heater?
:-)
Or a talking toaster?
Where are you Charles?
@@mikeygallos5000 :-) I respect that you use his proper name!
I have never in my life heard of a propane-powered refrigerator.
They are mostly used in campers in the US, but there are natural gas versions used elsewhere in the world. Basically they are powered by use of a small pilot light, much like a candle flame. Believe it or not there are versions made for the Amish community that use kerosene.
I got one but for medical use. Keep vaccine cold.
It's butane, a "bastard gas" as propane and propane accessory enthusiast Hank Hill will tell you what.
More on them in a bit..
SMASH that dislike button!

Sorry, wrong Simon channel...
Studied his design in college physics
He also made a one handed clock.
But what is really interesting is the "his" formula expressing the theory E=MCC existed previously as M=E/CC. I forget the name of the man who first derived this but its his shoulders that Einstein stands
The name of the man who first derived this is Albert EInstein. Others had factors of 4/3 in the formula, because it comes out with 4/3 if you make an electromagnetic model, and don't know relativity. Olinto dePretto had a factor of 2, because he used a definition of energy which is twice the usual one, and he had no real argument. Einstein's argument was the first correct argument. Although people had expected some sort of relationship like E=(number times) mc^2, they expected it to be only true for the electron, not a general law of nature.
The Einstein-Szilard refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd, who patented it in the U.S. on November 11, 1930. It has been suggested that most of the actual inventing was done by Szilárd, with Einstein merely acting as a consultant and helping with the patent-related paperwork. The Einstein-Szilard refrigerator is a development of the original three-fluid patent by the Swedish inventors Baltzar von Platen and Carl Munters.
So if all the other major nuclear scientists have their own element, such as Rutherfordium, Curium, Einsteinium, where's the Szilardium?
That might be next.....
My Dad's a nuclear scientist. What about Petersonium?
@@marcpeterson1092 "Major".
Can you do a video about the first nuclear reactor, hand built at the University of Chicago, eventually moved and buried just out side of Chicago, where you can visit it's grave. The team that built it led to the Manhattan Project. I pass the site of the project regularly, which is only a few hundred metres away from discarded NASA Spacelab modules or experiments, that I cannot find any history about. The NASA items are degrading & probably need to be researched.
Finally caught one of these new. I Love your videos and channels
That's pretty *cool*
Simon you really should check out the rotodyne. It's a very cool aircraft. I'm not sure where it might fit into your channels but give it a look and maybe do a video please.
Looking at that young photo of Einstein, Gene Wilder should have played him in "Young Einstein" a possible "sequel" to another of his movies.
Wait, there's already a movie called "Young Einstein", filmed in my hometown?
Wait, what? I'm in it as an extra!?
8:58 the woman depicted looks remarkably similar to Hugh Lorrie as "Georgina" in Blackadder Goes Forth.
This Einstein guy sounds like he was kinda smart
so it would seem.
I guess so but his no Einstein.
His parents must have guessed when they named him that
Don't be a sheep. He didn't write all those papers. How could he have? He only got a C in math. Clearly it was the Earl of Oxford.
That time Albert Einstein decided to try revolutionize keeping food cold
Too bad Skillshare wasn't created back then
Good job! So interesting
Einstein was just way ahead of his time honestly
relatively
Pun intended?
Einstein wasn't ahead of his time... We were behind where we should have been. He gave us exactly what we needed and his timing drove out advancement. If he came in "His Time" (The time that his knowledge would be appropriate) he would have been ordinary.
Yes but also just no just no. Einstein living at any different time opens up the possibility of the nazi's winning ww2 If born after. If anything I would say if einstein was born sometime towards the end of the dark ages he could have advanced humanity by centuries but that could also require other people like Tesla and Marconi in the same time period.
Was he ahead of his space too?
Thank you .
Cool!
There's that damn ice cream truck again! I know its close, I can hear it. It just won't come down my road
Mum always said that they only played the tunes when they had run out of ice-cream.
@@QqJcrsStbt Thats so sad
@@QqJcrsStbt oof
Einstein was a G
Geinstein
Not a G. Just well connected to G.
Einstein wasn't bad looking in his younger years !
Just for interest, Leo Szilard was instrumental in Carl Sagan not being offered tenure at Harvard - apparently Sagan focused his interests too broadly across a number of areas. Years later Sagan did something brilliant and Szilard wrote a very congratulatory letter, so he wasn't really upset with Sagan, just felt he was a bit self promoting.
"Oh and he helped found Salk" like it's a small aside, lol
Hey Simon, you should do a video on Dead Man's Island, UK :)
Just got notified about this video
BUT I SAW THIS 5 DAYS AGO WHY DID RUclips EVEN BOTHER GIVING ME THE NOTIFICATIONS IF I DON'T HAVE THE BELL ON FOR THIS CHANNEL AND
that Leo guy is pretty smart too
You mean Leo Sayer....? Indeed.
maybe for this practical use he was awarded a nobel
Actually, it was "for discovery of the law of photoelectric effect". Not for his theories of relativity.
I know this story but i like so I will watch this
He worked in a patent office. Big surprise.
Well, it's true, Einstein had some truly chilling inventions to his name... :P
This should have been a biographics episode
The patent clerks' patent clerk.
Let’s not forget, he also invented Rock & Roll (at least according to the documentary by Yahoo Serious)
that's a name i hadn't heard in about 30 years
I've got a question that might not be worthy of a tifo, but its got me curious. Whats up with the Japanese economy? 1 yen is worth less than $0.01 USD. I thought they did pretty well on the global stage, so why do they measure their currency in an equivalent to pennies?
Mortality is a bitter sweet thing
It took Mr. Whistler 4 days to explain the theory of relativity to Einstein. Einstein then began masquerading the theory as his own. Mr. Whistler being the bigger man, let Einstein receive the credit.
Thumbs up because I didn't hear the scratchy buzzing noise...
Can anyone enlighten me on whether it was Einstein who said something along the lines of - the trouble with being such a great persona is that it casts a shadow over other equally great personas."
It's quite a feat to make a Nobel Prize winner feel like they aren't all that smart. Some people seem to simply be beyond mere mortals
Whats the smallest nuclear explosion? How small can they be made? Personal hand nukes?!
I think the smallest one so far at least that I remember,is the Davey Crocket.It was bazooka size launcher with a load,or grenade size of a bit bigger than a football.Never really came into use thank God!
That time Einstein invented one of the most widely used refrigerator technologies used to this day
where is this used?

Can you do a video on why centuries are weirdly numbered? E.g 21 century is 2000s
After your first birthday you are in your second year. After walking two kilometres you are in the third kilometre. Etc Etc Etc. After 20 centuries we are in the 21st century.
Add Buisness blaze to Skillshare!!
ya its weird more people don't know he and another guy working with him, actually built a fridge and helped with the evolution of fridges and such..
He was a cool dude, well, both of them were
Did he just day freon is non toxic? Lol
"Transporting organs"
"Third world countries without electricity"
...
Oh.
Those organs are leaving and going into rich old people, aren't they?
Lol! Who's been watching Wallace and Grommet's World of invention?
Freon, non toxic fumes, extremely toxic if drank
But if it's liquid it's -30c so you got bigger problems drinking it than toxicity.
With so much radio active material in the universe, how is there not lots of nuclear bombs going off? Like how does the earth not explode with all the material in it constantly bumping each other? Or is it that the neutrons aren't being released which don't cause an explosion?
The neutrons are also absorbed by many isotopes. You need a high enough density of fissile material with only very small co concentrations of certain elements like boron.
The concentration of fissile materials is nowhere near high enough to support a chain reaction. Well, not any more on Earth - there was actually a natural nuclear reactor at Oklo about 2 billion years ago.
Buddy shouldnt have compared him to edison, thats not a compliment lol
Einstein was supposed to get on "Die Glocke" to go back to his home planet but he hit the snooze button too many times and it left without him
@Roh Hahn Not lately but I love that channel lmao
@Quentin Shock Hitler was close with a few Jews
Meanwhile, all the uranium for the [Trinity] atomic bomb came from a mine in the Northwest Territories
:edit: correction in square brackets
I believe originally for the Manhattan project it was from Congo
www.atomicheritage.org/history/uranium-mining
@@MurderMostFowl thank you for the correction. I went back to my sources and I had misread them. It was just the Trinity Test that used Canadian Uranium
God: So, how's that bladder cancer coming along? WHAT?! He cured his bladder cancer with radiation therapy?! Okay, then. You have just four more years, and your heart explodes! You hear me?! FOUR MORE YEARS!!! Oh, he can't hear me. That bites...
👍👍👍👍👍
9:55 Why is it amazing that it worked. The guy was a genius that practised biology and atomic physics. Pretty much no one was more qualified to build him a radiation regiment.
Non toxic Freon?
Compared to what they had been using? Most definitiely. Freon is slightly carcinogenic. When you read that something will give you cancer, dig a little deeper and see what that level of risk is (e.g. it is estimated that with the reduction of the arsenic standard from 50 parts per billion to 10 parts per billion, the EPA reduced the number of cancer cases in the entire US by 6 or 7 and the number of deaths by 1 per year).
@@michaelb1761 I have to agree with you there. It's definitely less toxic than what was originally used.
My wife's dad has cancer from working on industrial freezers and breathing in freon from leaking refrigerant systems. That's why I questioned the non toxic part.
@@brandonpayne1207 I've never heard of a CFC specific cancer. I'm a 2nd generation refrigeration repairman.
CFCs were targeted as ozone killers because patents ran out (an assumption on my part, the effect is the same).There has never been any evidence that ground released CFCs reach the ozone layer because they can't.
Google ozone hole and you will see 2 statements. 1. CFCs are indestructible by anything but high energy radiation in the upper atmosphere. And 2. CFCs are insoluble in water. The argument is therefore CFC concentrations should continue to rise. Since they don't, they must be destroyed in the upper atmosphere and deplete the ozone layer.
Then Google CFCs in sea water and CFCs in ground water. You'll find that scientists count on CFC concentrations in water for their research and that they have to figure in the natural degradation rate.
False assertions don't lead to truth in my opinion.
@@ferengiprofiteer9145 You know that the sun light contains high energy photons?
@@ferengiprofiteer9145 Freon is a trademark used for a number of refrigerants produced by the Chemour Company and not all of them were CFCs. And the reason the ozone isn't continuing to deplete due to CFCs is due to every industrial nation in the world except China banning them in all fields except medicine. Before that, they were used in just about everything from aerosol propellant to dry cleaning to, yes, refrigeration. But Europe phased them out in the 1980's and the US stopped producing them for industrial application entirely by 1994.
I very much enjoy your videos, but I pay actual money to NOT have ads in my videos and, with the exception of yours and only 1 other, it works beautifully. Can you not get the usual RUclips ads like everyone else?
@alphadawn2015 lennon RUclips is owned by Google, they got plenty of money, Ad Remover was the best 40 bucks I ever spent
Mr. Pooscratch
1:56 why does Einstein look like a lead singer to a Mexican mariachi band? Am I the only one that sees it? I mean, he's German. He shouldn't have any Mexican blood in him at all. Maybe when he sought sanctuary in the US he got very interested in mexican culture...
Edison gang? cringe.. Tesla gang aooh
Hmmmm make money building stuff that cant be commercially viable only to sell it to a competitor cause just incase genius!
Honestly everyone, refrigeration is the key to thermodynamics. A refrigerator repair man understands thermodynamics better than any amateur "physicist" who invokes the second law to disprove evolution. Refrigerators are order-creating machines, and within them there are many induced natural flows from order to disorder. But it all works only if it's plugged in.
Sadly, some refrigerator repair guys don't understand that they are absolute masters of the laws of thermodynamics.
Dump the ads Simon.
So he should stop making money? Get an adblocker or RUclips prime
@@stephjovi If you pay for it.
@@hollydavid69 so you don't wanna download a free ad blocker or pay for RUclips but you want Simon to work for free?
Edison of the 20th century?
How about Tesla? I thought that you know better than that Simon.
Well, Tesla was The Tesla. Calling him the "Xx of the Yy" would be an understatement.
Heck, it's been 100 years and we're still trying to get some of his works properly implemented. We're just barely to the point where we can wirelessly recharge a good electric car, and that's the easy stuff.
His perceptions on resonance, consciousness, and information-energy are still... out there, waiting.
@Roh Hahn I know, I'm from Serbia. We learned in primary school about him and I visited his museum 30 years ago so he is my hero long before everyone else who learned about him with the introduction of the internet.
Einstein briefly entertained the idea of making sense of the female psyche but decided on the far simpler field of theoretical nuclear physics.
Einstein was wrong about a lot of things. Like religion. But he denounced religion in the end so all is well.
Background music = annoying. :) Just sayin'...
It is but people have been saying that for years and it stays
