Britain patented the large scale radio tower type radar systems. but they did not invent radar or the first to get a patent on it. Heinrich Herz (as in Hrz) was doing experiments with radio wave detection around the 1880's and Christian Hülsmeyer was the first person to get a patent down (in 1904) for a radar detection system on boats called the "Telemobilescope" He is credited as the inventor of radar . It was mainly used for detecting large rocks in fog but could also detect other ships out at sea. Britain were just the ones to patented the traditional large scale radio tower type radar such as the "Chain home" transmitter, but 8 countries were all independantly working on their own large tower based radar systems throughout 1934-1939
Steam engines were one of many of England's gifts to the world in the eighteenth century. Thomas Savery began it all with his steam pump in 1698. He was followed by Thomas Newcomen's first real steam engine in 1711.
Then there was of course James Watt who improved the power and efficiency by adding a condenser and Richard Trevithic who made it even more powerful and efficient while reducing the size making locomotives viable... All British. And we discovered antibiotics! Just saying
On the US Navy thing, the Continental Congress authorised the creation of their Navy (the precursor of the modern US Navy) in 1775. That was the year before the Declaration of Independence, so it was inarguably formed/invented by British subjects/citizens in British territory.
Indeed, and even when it later morphed into the “US Navy” - which sought independence (the continental navy did not) - its most prominent figure and first naval commander was John Paul Jones; a Scotsman 😎
Actually no we didn't... radar is a german invention. Firstly Heirich Hertz (as in frequencies measured in Hrz) was doing experiments with radio wave detecting in the 1880's and Christian Hülsmeyer is credited as the inventor of radar, in 1904 he had a patent approved for a radar detection system for boats. What britain is famous for though is getting the patent for the large transmitter tower style radar systems such as "Chain Home" Although to be fair, between 1934-1939 8 other countries (including America, china and russia) were all working on very similar things without each other knowing, but britain got the patent first and then shared their info with america and 4 commonwealth countries (australia, Canada, New zealand and south africa) who used that info to complete there own versions of large scale radar transmitters. Britain just took someone elses idea and scaled it up and claimed credit for it. Popular missconception that we invented radar, we just adapted someone elses idea and scaled it up and then claimed it as a whole new thing.
They were calling the BMW Z4 at 2:00 an American car because they where primarily built in America for an American market, still popular over here in Europe though :)

I worked in a summer camp for 4 summers early 2000s and one day an altercation happened in a bar and almost everyone got involved. It spilled outside and all of a sudden police surrounded us, got out of their cars and with hands on their guns (still in the holster) walked up to us. My mate who is also English and a little drunk said "wow, officer, no need for that, our police don't have guns, they just taser us". That pretty much put an end to a scrap as we were all laughing. The Police moved us on, nobody was hurt.
Richard Trevithick a Cornishman first steam engine 1806. Town of Wylam asked him to make their engines. But got pissed to often so William Hedley built Puffing Billy a few years later then Stephenson made locomotives much more successful. Trevithick was a bit of a lad and heavy drinker ended up designing locos in South America. Apart from that your correct. Stockton & Darlington first public steam hauled railway 27th September 1825.

Jeremy Clarkson was right in that the British have invented a LOT of things. What they frequently failed at was making the inventions commercially viable.
Thomas Newcomen made first mechanical steam engine able to provide continuous power, followed by James Watt who perfected it for steam trains. Both British. Christian Hulsmeyer, a German technically made the first use of radar detection, but Robert Watson Watt (British) is commonly credited with use of rotating aerials and oscilloscopes for radar detection with display of direction.
There are countless americans throughout history who have made significant contributions to science... it's just that most *americans* don't seem to know about them, and inevitably end up quoting famous people who are, in fact; *not* american. That's what we make fun of ;)
I think the confusion concerning RaDAR is that it's an acronym that was first used by the US navy but that was a few years after Radio Detection And Ranging was invented.
Connor...the Germans did not invent rockets...that is ridiculous. The Chinese are the first to successfully use solid propellant rockets in the 14th century, and the "invention" of rockets with liquid propellant is really complicated, but is generally accorded to the first successful flight of a liquid fueled rocket by American rocket pioneer Robert H Goddard in 1926...but the ideas that Goddard started with go back at least to the writings of Russian pioneer Tsiolkovsky from 1903.
Clarkson did miss out a few American insults: USA-Cant win a war without begging the UK to help them...and SAVE them! Also he missed out the classic USA=Friendly Fire joke!
2:04 for reference why they call an American car it’s because because it’s engineered and built in California despite the fact it’s made by BMW a German company
"The steam engines were England's gift to the world in the eighteenth century. Thomas Savery began it all with his steam pump in 1698. He was followed by Thomas Newcomen's first real steam engine in 1711. When James Watt sold his first engine in 1769, steam engines had been around for seventy years. Almost 600 of them had been built."
The British accent as Americans know is only a small part mainly the south of U.K, The more you move away the weirder the accent gets especially the north
steam engines, Stevenson's Rocket, British, Radar was British, jet engine, television Internet. All British, Really can't think of any American inventions
The basis for pretty much all computer communication is an American invention...TCP/IP...so the Internet was "invented" by multiple nations, since the various technologies that enable it were invented in multiple nations.
Yes having an English accent helps in America. On holiday in 1998, hired a Corvette and got caught speeding. I was doing over 100 on interstate and as soon as I opened my mouth and apologised the copper just gave me a lecture, no fine.
I grew up playing on a steam engine as a toddler in Corby. It came out of the steel works. It was the old shunt engine. Yellow one. And the giant drag line bucket. From a crane that literally walked. It's all moved and fenced off now. For "safety" reasons. I gained a love of Motorsport engineering growing up in the county of the home of Silverstone in a steel town very close to cosworth Motorsport home in Northampton. The street I lived on was Stephenson's way. Named after designer of the rocket steam engine shown on old £5 notes. My nan lived at James watt avenue. Next to Faraday grove. The school was on Rockingham road. Heading towards Rockingham castle. Near is Rockingham triangle. Historic place of triangular lodge. This is where guy Fawkes plotted to blow up parliament. Hence Nov 5, penny for the guy. Rockingham is now home to a new race track. Rockingham speedway. Just some insight on the background of some history involved in some of those inventions and events locally.
Funny thing: the one thing on his placard that he attributes as being invented by the US is wrong: condensed milk was invented by a french guy, Nicolas Apert (and popularized by another french, Malbec). An American just patented it 3 decades later.
The US Navy was rooted in the colonial seafaring tradition, which produced a large community of sailors, captains, and shipbuilders. Many of the early naval officers and sailors had served in the British Navy or the colonial militias before joining the Continental Navy or the US Navy. Some of them, such as John Paul Jones and John Barry, are considered as the founding fathers of the US Navy. The US Navy also adopted some of the British naval customs and practices, such as the use of ranks, uniforms, flags, and ceremonies. So whilst, of course, America created it's own navy, it is a decendant of British customs, traditions and even people, so this is what Clarkson is referencing.
No and No. we invented the steam locomotive. But the first steam engine was all the way back in 1st century AD which was used for pumping water. And then there were several others along the way which all improved on the idea. The first practical steam loco (and in proper usage, not just going around a little loop of track as a demo) was the Coalbrookdale Locomotive, which was used to haul stock around the Coalbrookdale ironworks. Radar is actually a german invention, they had the original patent granted in 1904 for a radio wave detection device for boats. Christian Hülsmeyer (of germany) is credited as the inventor of radar. What britain did do was be the first to get a patent approved for the large transmitter tower style radar devices (such as the Chain Home defence system) which made use of magnatrons, which made things a LOT better. So in reality we didnt invent radar, we just vastly improved it and then got a new patent on it and claimed we invented it.. But even that, there was 8 other countries all creating similar devices, without realising they were all doing it. Then England gave our info to America and 4 commonwealth countries, which helped them complete their radar systems. But we did not invent radar.
The initial steam powered device and steam engine was both invented by British inventors. They must teach you in school Americans invented so much, when in actual fact its generally not the case haha. You gotta love Americans!
Oh dear Connor. Steam Engines:James Watt in 1765 is usually credited as the first inventor although, he based it on earlier machines by Thomas Savery in 1705 and Thomas Necomen in 1711. All three were British. Radar: Invented in 1935 by Robert Watson-Watt. A descendent of James Watt. British. First modern rocket: invented by William Congreve in 1808 and used in the Napoleonic wars. It's estimated that between 40-50% of modern inventions, scientific discoveries, etc are British or Britain made a major contribution. How come? - The industrial revoulution started here giving us a huge head-start on other nations. - Britain was one of the first countries to have compulsory education. - We have many of the world's best universities, in particular Cambridge and Oxford. - Lastly we're taught about many of our greatest inventors in school, which inspires others to follow in their footsteps. What America is very good at is taking other people's ideas and marketing them well so that they become universally popular. Also Americans are great at taking other peoples inventions, tweaking them and then patenting them before claiming they invented it. Edison was notorious for this, especially the light bulb which again is a British invention by Joseph Swan who Edison later went into business with.
The BMW Z4 (or zee four) is built in the US hence Jeremy firing out a load of American banter at the BMW. Another surprising note about cars is that the Mini (traditionally thought of at a British car) is now made in Germany, by BMW! The British invented Radar and used it from the start of WW2 to secretly detect the Germans flying over. Most of the post war US technology such as stealth bombers and rockets came from the Nazi scientists the US rehomed after the war. In fairness, the 2 people arresting him are likely to be actors rather than cops. Great video, really funny!
John Paul Jones - A founder of the American Navy. John Paul was born at Arbigland, Kirkbean, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, 6 July 1747. Apprenticed to a merchant at age 13, he went to sea in the brig Friendship to learn the art of seamanship. At 21, he received his first command, the brig John. So, I guess it is true, there was some English help to start the US Navy 😅
You have an unusual, but a great way of doing things, unlike most youtube reviewers. Its not polished, its not 'for youtube' its just you being you, warts and all. It makes you much easier to relate to and believe, which is not so usual for youtube reviewers. More power to your elbow as My Grandad used to say.
No, you did NOT invent the steam engine or radar, or the jet engine! Steam was invented by Thomas Savery in the late 17th Century in England. It was further developed into a piston design by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. Heinrich Hertz invented the concept of radar (German) and the first functional radar was British, by Robert Watson-Watt. The jet engine was invented, patented and first tested by Frank Whittle, another Englishman
On April 30, 1904, Christian Hülsmeyer (German) was granted a patent for his "method of indicating distant metallic objects to an observer by means of electric waves. He calls the associated device a "telemobiloscope" (remote motion indicator). In November of the same year, he adds a rangefinder to the device. Now, nearby objects can not only be located, but the distance to one's own position can also be determined. Did not bear the name radar but was.
But in all honesty I would like to thank the USA for getting into WW1 in 1917 even though the war started in 1914 and again in WW2 in 1941 when the rest of the world started in 1939. Maybe the next world war you could turn up on time if you haven't started it first in which case we'll be a bit late.
Hearing an English accent helps? I worked with a young bloke who, with a mate, flew into New York and decided to drive across country to L.A. and then fly back home to the Great Southern Land. They bought a heap-of-shit Cadillac for $750 and set off. The only thing holding the panels onto the Caddy was rust; the tyres...sorry tires, were so bald, you could see the air in them! Yet, like all true-blue, fair dinkum, ridgie-didge, Wild Colonial Boys, they fearlessly sallied forth with a song in their hearts and a can of beer at their lips! Being in no hurry, they dawdled their way across the U.S. Out on the highways and freeways of Seppoland, cops took one look at the near-derelict Cadillac and pulled it over. Once they heard the Aussie accents, they forgot all about upholding the law and just wanted to talk about Australia! Young women in cafes and diners and roadhouses along the way, would hear the dulcet tones of the Strine accent and invite them to spent the night at their homes! They paid for a motel room just twice in the whole trip. When they got to the airport in L.A., they abandoned their stout conveyance in the long term car park and flew back to a place that is so glorious, God goes there on His holidays! But it's still a trip well worth repeating, because another generation of Seppos has emerged and is just waiting for a couple of masterful Aussie bullshit artists to take advantage of them!
As of the BMW Z4 it's most likely called American ride because most like of the low break horsepower American cars are usually manufactured due to their high engine cc, making the cars kinda weird to drive.
Nope .. - "As per the Z3, the E85/E86 (Z4) was manufactured solely in Greer, South Carolina. The M model, the Z4 M, is powered by the S54 straight-six engine. " - "John Paul Jones - A founder of the American Navy. John Paul was born at Arbigland, Kirkbean, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, 6 July 1747. Apprenticed to a merchant at age 13, he went to sea in the brig Friendship to learn the art of seamanship."
What Clarkson never mentions is most American cars up to the 60's 70's and 80's were built big with soft riding suspension for much longer highway travels we have here in the US which is HUGE compared to the UK, east to west is some 3,000 miles and north to south is some 2,000 odd miles, you could get in an old school american luxury car and drive 1,500 miles and not feel like you had been beaten to death by every pavement strip and pothole, they were smooth QUIET and comfortable - they were never meant to be sports cars, but the government took care of that now we drive plastic cracker boxes that break down at every intersection because in our NEW WORLD ORDER everything in them is made in mexico and other shit countries. I miss those smooth quiet cars and the cheap gas we used to have until the politicians banned drilling and sold us out - why doesnt Clarkson talk about Britains luxury barges like Rolls Royce, Bentley etc. not like the UK never had big luxury cars - and they still do at EXTREMELY HIGH PRICES.
The unremarkable suitcase taken covertly to USA for security reasons contained a microwave device, an improved version of RADAR. Stereotypically, an American technician developed the microwave oven after the chocolate bar in his lab coat pocket melted after being zapped
The microwave was first invented by a British man named James Lovelock who used it to reheat frozen hamsters more humanely. ruclips.net/video/2tdiKTSdE9Y/видео.html
Radar.. no.. it was the british that first demonstrated it working and then gave the US the Magnetron Number 12 (along with other secrets in the Tizzard mission).. Which was vastly more compact and powerful than contemporary systems The british had chain home (radar defence along the south and east coast for battle of britain) in 1939. US did have radar in development but had only done a test in 1939 on USS NY and were orders of magnitude behind the british designs.
No radar is NOT a british invention, It was germany. in 1904 Christian Hülsmeyer had his patent approved for a boat mounted detection device called a "Telemobilescope" and HE is credited as the inventor of radar. It is true Britain did invent the big transmitter tower style radar (such as Chain home) with the old magnatron and then they passed that info onto America and also Canada, australia, New zealand and south africa (4 commonwealth countries) but britain did not "Invent" radar
@@neilyb4590 no it wasn't. Germany beat britain to a radar patent by 30 years. Admittedly britain made radar way better, but they did not invent radar, that would be Christian Hülsmeyer of germany in 1904 who first created radio wave detection devices for boats.
You’ve got to love the way the British appropriate another’s discoveries. The Penicillin was discovered by Frenchman Ernest Duchesne in 1897 and treatment by antibiotics pioneered by him. The Brits only learned about it 31 years later in 1928. The actual Radar was invented by the French, by the CSF in 1934 (French patent number 788795), and the first one equipped the French cargo ship Orégon, followed in 1935 by the French transatlantic liner Normandie.
If the French had invented Radar then it wouldn't of worked, as due to the doppler effect due to the extreme speed that the French retreat, they would never have picked up the returned radio wave.
@@danpearce4547 too bad for you it was invented before WW2, and even then the Brits were the speed champions when it came to flee and run backwards/retreat.
No radar wasnt a british invention, it was actually a german invention, they even got the patent for it in 1904 for radio detection devices on boats called a "telemobilescope" Christian Hülsmeyer is credited as the inventor of radar. What britain did do was adapt that idea and scaled it up massive. We was just the first to get a patent for the large transmiter tower style radar devices. although there was 8 other countries (including America, China and Russia) all working on similar systems without each other realising. We then passed that info onto a few other countries..But we did not invent radar.
Fun fact in the Uk the old bill ( policeman) dont carry guns much friendlier i always thought as everyone knows that us British are very friendly polite people
the british invented America, the star spangled banner, the "America, Fuck Yeah" song oh and the first powered airplane. ya see a brit Percy Pilcher built a plane first but could not test it as he died the day before the test 4 years before the wright brothers
Radar was given to the U.S by the U.K which enabled them to win the battle of Midway. Later the Americans gave it back in the form of radar targeting anti-aircraft guns..
Um, I'm not British, I'm an Aussie, the UK invented steam engines and radar. Australia invented the black box flight recorder and WIFI among other things, just blowing our trumpet 😁
European emigres invented stuff in the US. Tesla, then the original rocket man was a US uni professor circa 1910 to 1930. Frozen food technique in the late 30s. The steam earth mover..about 1880. ......after Brits invented the steam engine of course. Can't think of many until the 50s and 60s. Then Transistors and silicon chips .
Thomas Newcomen invented the Steam Engine, which was improved by James Watt. Savery had a contraption for pumping water, but that didn't have pistons. What genius American came before these?
Who invented what is often a pretty convoluted story in many cases anyway. Like we invented the internet, but USA invented the Wide Area Network it is built upon. USA named Radar, but didn’t invent it. It was parallel and secret in many countries and we (the UK) shared our knowledge with USA to give them a bit of a hand.
When you say a British accent can get you out of any difficulty - i assume you mean (as you tried) an English Home counties received pronunciation accent, or do you genuinely mean any British accent?!. I honestly can't see a Louisiana copper being overly impressed with a broad Geordie/Brummie/Scouse/Manc (add additional regional variant as required!!) accent!!!
Obviously he meant a received pronunciation way of speaking which most of the South of England speak and all well educated people. I do not think local accents are something to be proud of. It just means that you are not speaking properly.
@@valeriedavidson2785 i'm a born & bred Manc. and i think your reply speaks volumes about your view of your fellow Brits! - this reply section must make for very interesting reading for our American uploader!
@@britblue I would say that is the view of people I know of all classes. I expect the North are more used to hearing strong local accents. I do not hear that very often amongst the general population here. It is normal to hear people speaking properly. It is not a good idea to teach foreigners bad speech as though that is correct because it isn't.
I think USA-ian singers definitely do sound USA-ian when they sing but just with less stress on the accent because they have to generally annunciate better which makes their use of "English" sound better than otherwise. Brits tend to annunciate better to begin with and with their regional accents are thus obvious to us, and conversely the oppositely obvious with USA-ians to us.

Britain invented radar in 1935. Just in time before WW2 kicked off. Because it came in handy in the Battle of Britain.

Steam Engines and Steam Locomotives, the train was hauled by the locomotive. Steam powered carriages were decades later but didn't last long.

Clarkson did miss out a few American insults: USA-Cant win a war without begging the UK to help them...and SAVE them! Also he missed out the classic USA=Friendly Fire joke!
It did say killing a few english by accident
Did you miss the bit about the new Italian Job
"A huge explosion in which some British people will be killed by accident"
😂😂😂
He literally said accidentally killing the british
9:54 funny how he stopped on the part saying radar and steam engine 😂
He said hamburger 🤣🤣🤣 that's German ya maniac 🤣🤣
“Squeal like a pig” is a reference to The Deliverance.
2:04 for reference why they call an American car it’s because because it’s engineered and built in California despite the fact it’s made by BMW a German company
"The steam engines were England's gift to the world in the eighteenth century. Thomas Savery began it all with his steam pump in 1698. He was followed by Thomas Newcomen's first real steam engine in 1711. When James Watt sold his first engine in 1769, steam engines had been around for seventy years. Almost 600 of them had been built."
We gave Radar to the Americans. At Pearl Harbour the radar started beeping and they thought it was broken 😂.
The British accent as Americans know is only a small part mainly the south of U.K, The more you move away the weirder the accent gets especially the north
steam engines, Stevenson's Rocket, British, Radar was British, jet engine, television Internet. All British, Really can't think of any American inventions
The right to bare harms is definitely an american invention, lol
The basis for pretty much all computer communication is an American invention...TCP/IP...so the Internet was "invented" by multiple nations, since the various technologies that enable it were invented in multiple nations.
@@iKvetch558 London 1871 a English man named charles Babbage conceived the first ever digital computer, so......i think it's English! I like Google!
The only one I can think of was the aeroplane (The Wright Bros.)
@@pem... You're funny...Tommy!🤣🤣
This man did not just say that the Americans invented radar and the steam engine. More brainwashed than I could've imagined😂
Yes having an English accent helps in America. On holiday in 1998, hired a Corvette and got caught speeding. I was doing over 100 on interstate and as soon as I opened my mouth and apologised the copper just gave me a lecture, no fine.
I'm glad you can laugh! I have gone off this type of ribbing. Still, at least Clarkson doesn't mind making an arse of himself in public.
I bet you are fun at a party.
I grew up playing on a steam engine as a toddler in Corby. It came out of the steel works. It was the old shunt engine. Yellow one. And the giant drag line bucket. From a crane that literally walked. It's all moved and fenced off now. For "safety" reasons. I gained a love of Motorsport engineering growing up in the county of the home of Silverstone in a steel town very close to cosworth Motorsport home in Northampton. The street I lived on was Stephenson's way. Named after designer of the rocket steam engine shown on old £5 notes. My nan lived at James watt avenue. Next to Faraday grove. The school was on Rockingham road. Heading towards Rockingham castle. Near is Rockingham triangle. Historic place of triangular lodge. This is where guy Fawkes plotted to blow up parliament. Hence Nov 5, penny for the guy. Rockingham is now home to a new race track. Rockingham speedway. Just some insight on the background of some history involved in some of those inventions and events locally.
Funny thing: the one thing on his placard that he attributes as being invented by the US is wrong: condensed milk was invented by a french guy, Nicolas Apert (and popularized by another french, Malbec). An American just patented it 3 decades later.
The US Navy was rooted in the colonial seafaring tradition, which produced a large community of sailors, captains, and shipbuilders. Many of the early naval officers and sailors had served in the British Navy or the colonial militias before joining the Continental Navy or the US Navy. Some of them, such as John Paul Jones and John Barry, are considered as the founding fathers of the US Navy. The US Navy also adopted some of the British naval customs and practices, such as the use of ranks, uniforms, flags, and ceremonies. So whilst, of course, America created it's own navy, it is a decendant of British customs, traditions and even people, so this is what Clarkson is referencing.
we invented gravity as well
British invented radar
Steam engines were England's gift to the world in the eighteenth century
No and No. we invented the steam locomotive. But the first steam engine was all the way back in 1st century AD which was used for pumping water. And then there were several others along the way which all improved on the idea. The first practical steam loco (and in proper usage, not just going around a little loop of track as a demo) was the Coalbrookdale Locomotive, which was used to haul stock around the Coalbrookdale ironworks.
Radar is actually a german invention, they had the original patent granted in 1904 for a radio wave detection device for boats. Christian Hülsmeyer (of germany) is credited as the inventor of radar. What britain did do was be the first to get a patent approved for the large transmitter tower style radar devices (such as the Chain Home defence system) which made use of magnatrons, which made things a LOT better. So in reality we didnt invent radar, we just vastly improved it and then got a new patent on it and claimed we invented it.. But even that, there was 8 other countries all creating similar devices, without realising they were all doing it. Then England gave our info to America and 4 commonwealth countries, which helped them complete their radar systems. But we did not invent radar.
The initial steam powered device and steam engine was both invented by British inventors. They must teach you in school Americans invented so much, when in actual fact its generally not the case haha. You gotta love Americans!
Oh dear Connor.
Steam Engines:James Watt in 1765 is usually credited as the first inventor although, he based it on earlier machines by Thomas Savery in 1705 and Thomas Necomen in 1711. All three were British.
Radar: Invented in 1935 by Robert Watson-Watt. A descendent of James Watt. British.
First modern rocket: invented by William Congreve in 1808 and used in the Napoleonic wars.
It's estimated that between 40-50% of modern inventions, scientific discoveries, etc are British or Britain made a major contribution. How come?
- The industrial revoulution started here giving us a huge head-start on other nations.
- Britain was one of the first countries to have compulsory education.
- We have many of the world's best universities, in particular Cambridge and Oxford.
- Lastly we're taught about many of our greatest inventors in school, which inspires others to follow in their footsteps.
What America is very good at is taking other people's ideas and marketing them well so that they become universally popular.
Also Americans are great at taking other peoples inventions, tweaking them and then patenting them before claiming they invented it.
Edison was notorious for this, especially the light bulb which again is a British invention by Joseph Swan who Edison later went into business with.
Americans invented.................. The long pause
The BMW Z4 (or zee four) is built in the US hence Jeremy firing out a load of American banter at the BMW. Another surprising note about cars is that the Mini (traditionally thought of at a British car) is now made in Germany, by BMW! The British invented Radar and used it from the start of WW2 to secretly detect the Germans flying over. Most of the post war US technology such as stealth bombers and rockets came from the Nazi scientists the US rehomed after the war. In fairness, the 2 people arresting him are likely to be actors rather than cops. Great video, really funny!
lol we also invented the entire back story for the US movie U571
Great video Connor
John Paul Jones - A founder of the American Navy. John Paul was born at Arbigland, Kirkbean, Kirkcudbright, Scotland, 6 July 1747. Apprenticed to a merchant at age 13, he went to sea in the brig Friendship to learn the art of seamanship. At 21, he received his first command, the brig John.
So, I guess it is true, there was some English help to start the US Navy 😅
And you invented the long pause ....😂😂😂 ❤
Sorry , British invented the steam engine 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
*Radar was invented in Britain, the MOD sold the patent to the US in WWII as part of the Lend Leas deal. And we invented the steam train*
You have an unusual, but a great way of doing things, unlike most youtube reviewers. Its not polished, its not 'for youtube' its just you being you, warts and all. It makes you much easier to relate to and believe, which is not so usual for youtube reviewers. More power to your elbow as My Grandad used to say.
No, you did NOT invent the steam engine or radar, or the jet engine! Steam was invented by Thomas Savery in the late 17th Century in England. It was further developed into a piston design by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. Heinrich Hertz invented the concept of radar (German) and the first functional radar was British, by Robert Watson-Watt. The jet engine was invented, patented and first tested by Frank Whittle, another Englishman
Love how he says we invented this stuff, then he's like, actually that was the brits and the germans 🤣
On April 30, 1904, Christian Hülsmeyer (German) was granted a patent for his "method of indicating distant metallic objects to an observer by means of electric waves. He calls the associated device a "telemobiloscope" (remote motion indicator). In November of the same year, he adds a rangefinder to the device. Now, nearby objects can not only be located, but the distance to one's own position can also be determined. Did not bear the name radar but was.

But in all honesty I would like to thank the USA for getting into WW1 in 1917 even though the war started in 1914 and again in WW2 in 1941 when the rest of the world started in 1939. Maybe the next world war you could turn up on time if you haven't started it first in which case we'll be a bit late.
Hearing an English accent helps? I worked with a young bloke who, with a mate, flew into New York and decided to drive across country to L.A. and then fly back home to the Great Southern Land. They bought a heap-of-shit Cadillac for $750 and set off. The only thing holding the panels onto the Caddy was rust; the tyres...sorry tires, were so bald, you could see the air in them! Yet, like all true-blue, fair dinkum, ridgie-didge, Wild Colonial Boys, they fearlessly sallied forth with a song in their hearts and a can of beer at their lips!
Being in no hurry, they dawdled their way across the U.S. Out on the highways and freeways of Seppoland, cops took one look at the near-derelict Cadillac and pulled it over. Once they heard the Aussie accents, they forgot all about upholding the law and just wanted to talk about Australia!
Young women in cafes and diners and roadhouses along the way, would hear the dulcet tones of the Strine accent and invite them to spent the night at their homes! They paid for a motel room just twice in the whole trip. When they got to the airport in L.A., they abandoned their stout conveyance in the long term car park and flew back to a place that is so glorious, God goes there on His holidays! But it's still a trip well worth repeating, because another generation of Seppos has emerged and is just waiting for a couple of masterful Aussie bullshit artists to take advantage of them!
The BMW Z4 was built in the Spartanburg plant in the US.
As of the BMW Z4 it's most likely called American ride because most like of the low break horsepower American cars are usually manufactured due to their high engine cc, making the cars kinda weird to drive.
2:06 Built in Yankeetown
Brittons invaded The Steam Engine (James Watt) - they were the first with the industrial Revolution
I live in Manchester where we invented the computer and split the atom. But we do love our american brothers.
Nope ..
- "As per the Z3, the E85/E86 (Z4) was manufactured solely in Greer, South Carolina. The M model, the Z4 M, is powered by the S54 straight-six engine. "

Radar and steam engines you say 🤔
I think he was joking
@@claregale9011 I wouldn't bank on it lol
What Clarkson never mentions is most American cars up to the 60's 70's and 80's were built big with soft riding suspension for much longer highway travels we have here in the US which is HUGE compared to the UK, east to west is some 3,000 miles and north to south is some 2,000 odd miles, you could get in an old school american luxury car and drive 1,500 miles and not feel like you had been beaten to death by every pavement strip and pothole, they were smooth QUIET and comfortable - they were never meant to be sports cars, but the government took care of that now we drive plastic cracker boxes that break down at every intersection because in our NEW WORLD ORDER everything in them is made in mexico and other shit countries. I miss those smooth quiet cars and the cheap gas we used to have until the politicians banned drilling and sold us out - why doesnt Clarkson talk about Britains luxury barges like Rolls Royce, Bentley etc. not like the UK never had big luxury cars - and they still do at EXTREMELY HIGH PRICES.
The unremarkable suitcase taken covertly to USA for security reasons contained a microwave device, an improved version of RADAR. Stereotypically, an American technician developed the microwave oven after the chocolate bar in his lab coat pocket melted after being zapped
The microwave was first invented by a British man named James Lovelock who used it to reheat frozen hamsters more humanely. ruclips.net/video/2tdiKTSdE9Y/видео.html
Dude. The British invented both radar and the steam engine 😂
Radar.. no.. it was the british that first demonstrated it working and then gave the US the Magnetron Number 12 (along with other secrets in the Tizzard mission)..
Which was vastly more compact and powerful than contemporary systems
The british had chain home (radar defence along the south and east coast for battle of britain) in 1939.
US did have radar in development but had only done a test in 1939 on USS NY and were orders of magnitude behind the british designs.
Radar was invented at a place called Ditton park it’s now a wedding venue
No radar is NOT a british invention, It was germany. in 1904 Christian Hülsmeyer had his patent approved for a boat mounted detection device called a "Telemobilescope" and HE is credited as the inventor of radar. It is true Britain did invent the big transmitter tower style radar (such as Chain home) with the old magnatron and then they passed that info onto America and also Canada, australia, New zealand and south africa (4 commonwealth countries) but britain did not "Invent" radar
@@neilyb4590 no it wasn't. Germany beat britain to a radar patent by 30 years. Admittedly britain made radar way better, but they did not invent radar, that would be Christian Hülsmeyer of germany in 1904 who first created radio wave detection devices for boats.
@@Nobby76 ok I worked at ditton park they claimed they were first
The BMW Z4 was , like a lot of cars , was built for the American market .
BMW Z4 was produced in the USA. the brand is german, the productionplant and the workers there are american.
You’ve got to love the way the British appropriate another’s discoveries. The Penicillin was discovered by Frenchman Ernest Duchesne in 1897 and treatment by antibiotics pioneered by him.
The Brits only learned about it 31 years later in 1928.
The actual Radar was invented by the French, by the CSF in 1934 (French patent number 788795), and the first one equipped the French cargo ship Orégon, followed in 1935 by the French transatlantic liner Normandie.
If the French had invented Radar then it wouldn't of worked, as due to the doppler effect due to the extreme speed that the French retreat, they would never have picked up the returned radio wave.
@@danpearce4547 too bad for you it was invented before WW2, and even then the Brits were the speed champions when it came to flee and run backwards/retreat.
Boom boom!@@brunol-p_g8800
The British invented the steam engine! The first ‘ proper ‘ railway with steam locomotion opened in 1830. Radar was also a British invention…
No radar wasnt a british invention, it was actually a german invention, they even got the patent for it in 1904 for radio detection devices on boats called a "telemobilescope" Christian Hülsmeyer is credited as the inventor of radar. What britain did do was adapt that idea and scaled it up massive. We was just the first to get a patent for the large transmiter tower style radar devices. although there was 8 other countries (including America, China and Russia) all working on similar systems without each other realising. We then passed that info onto a few other countries..But we did not invent radar.
Fun fact in the Uk the old bill ( policeman) dont carry guns much friendlier i always thought as everyone knows that us British are very friendly polite people
Radar and steam engines are both British.
Rockets (fireworks) are Chinese, though Leonardo da Vinchi also came up with the idea so... Italian.
Out of interest, will the movies be up on Patreon this week?
The BMW Z4 was made in the Spartanburg plant in the USA, it's an American car 😂
I love all these comments talking about how the british invented the steam strain and proving that they didn't get the joke
The fact your still watching these in great temperament is admirable - one family guy scene with that horrific British accent and I’m triggered 😂
Erm emerica didnt invent radar or steam engines lol
You really do need to watch the original Italian Job, Connor.
the british invented America, the star spangled banner, the "America, Fuck Yeah" song oh and the first powered airplane. ya see a brit Percy Pilcher built a plane first but could not test it as he died the day before the test 4 years before the wright brothers
That car is built in South Carolina at the BMW plant.
"Why would they say it's American" Because, just like ML/GL/MLS, X6/X5/X3/X7... they have all been designed and build for the american market.
2:58 The Marcos and Viper both use American engines, but Dodge is American.
the radar was invented by 2 germans and a brit. and the steam engine was invented by 2 englishmen and an english/scottish man
The Italian Job with Michael Caine, is a fantastic film with lots of brit humour and minis causing havoc, you would love it.
April, 1935: British Patent for Radar System for Air Defense Granted to Robert Watson-Watt
Sir Robert Alexander Watson-Watt invented radar in 1935. He was Scottish.
The old z4 was built in the US thats why hes saying that :P And it was designed by the guy who is the designdirector of Rolls Royce today
Radar was given to the U.S by the U.K which enabled them to win the battle of Midway. Later the Americans gave it back in the form of radar targeting anti-aircraft guns..
9:34 I thought you were having a Mitch McConnell brain fart..
Um, I'm not British, I'm an Aussie, the UK invented steam engines and radar. Australia invented the black box flight recorder and WIFI among other things, just blowing our trumpet 😁
bet ya ancestors was unless ya a native lol
bro said he wouldnt get mad, he got very mad
European emigres invented stuff in the US. Tesla, then the original rocket man was a US uni professor circa 1910 to 1930. Frozen food technique in the late 30s. The steam earth mover..about 1880. ......after Brits invented the steam engine of course. Can't think of many until the 50s and 60s. Then Transistors and silicon chips .
The USA invented that blobby joined up coloured type of graffiti you see on railway bridges.
Yes, and "tags".
Thomas Newcomen invented the Steam Engine, which was improved by James Watt. Savery had a contraption for pumping water, but that didn't have pistons. What genius American came before these?
😅 you took it well Connor.
Don't take his gobshite for being popular opinion.
We adopt you sir Conner - we don't need them as much
Good reactions. You certainly role with the punches now.
Who invented what is often a pretty convoluted story in many cases anyway. Like we invented the internet, but USA invented the Wide Area Network it is built upon. USA named Radar, but didn’t invent it. It was parallel and secret in many countries and we (the UK) shared our knowledge with USA to give them a bit of a hand.
When you say a British accent can get you out of any difficulty - i assume you mean (as you tried) an English Home counties received pronunciation accent, or do you genuinely mean any British accent?!. I honestly can't see a Louisiana copper being overly impressed with a broad Geordie/Brummie/Scouse/Manc (add additional regional variant as required!!) accent!!!
Obviously he meant a received pronunciation way of speaking which most of the South of England speak and all well educated people. I do not think
local accents are something to be proud of. It just means that you are not speaking properly.
@@valeriedavidson2785 What a proper little madam.
@@valeriedavidson2785 i'm a born & bred Manc. and i think your reply speaks volumes about your view of your fellow Brits! - this reply section must make for very interesting reading for our American uploader!
@@britblue I would say that is the view of people I know of all classes. I expect the North are more used to hearing strong local accents. I do not hear that very often amongst the general population here. It is normal to hear people speaking properly. It is not a good idea to teach foreigners bad speech as though that is correct because it isn't.
@@marythomson8537 No. Just a reasonably educated person. Not somebody that sounds ignorant.
That was the American version of the BMW not the European.
Brits can tell easily between UK and USA bands, they sound very different.
Totally, most singers are obvious. And they don't sound american, if anything american singers sound british
Yeah deffo. American singers Deffo don't sound American when singing
I think USA-ian singers definitely do sound USA-ian when they sing but just with less stress on the accent because they have to generally annunciate better which makes their use of "English" sound better than otherwise. Brits tend to annunciate better to begin with and with their regional accents are thus obvious to us, and conversely the oppositely obvious with USA-ians to us.
