That radio telescope you were looking at the end was the Parks Radio Telescope. It was used in NASA's Apollo missions. There is a Australian move about this called "The Dish". Worth a sticky.
Ryan is probably not going to understand 'sticky'... You had better explain it for him.
The Dish is a great film!
Yes. The US, and the world, nearly didn't get to see the landing on the moon because of the fierce winds blowing at Parkes where the dish is stationed. That movie should be compulsory viewing for all Americans.
Yes! Great movie
It is a brilliant film. With a lot of good humour. I love the part when they played the anthem for the USA.
You wanted a simple invention like the bookshelf. I think the notepad would be a good example then. That was invented in 1902 in Launceston, Tasmania by Mr Birchall who owned a stationery store.
For hundreds of years, paper was supplied in loose sheets, the innovativeness of the new invention was the decision to cut the sheets into smaller sizes, back them with a firm piece of cardboard and glue them all together at the top.
Strueth....I'm an Aussie but I never knew that one! Cheers!
Also colloquially known as the Silver City tablet
The paper note pad. The bionic ear, spray on skin for burns victims. The Black Box, which is now yellow as easier to see. The inflatable slide on planes for emergency exits, etc etc - Yes I’ve read over 100 things we invented in Aus.
Hey Ryan thought you might get a giggle out of this one. I did. Copper Wire and Communication Something funny in Australia
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the British, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the New York Times said: "American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British".
One week later, Australia's Northern Territory Times reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Daly Waters , Northern Territory , Knackers Johnson, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger-all. Knackers has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Australia had already gone wireless."
...Makes ya feel bloody proud to be Australian
It's true. Aboriginals were using wireless communication long before whites arrived.
Happy Arvo! I don’t know if we pronounce it differently where I come from, but we pronounce every letter for CSIRO. I have a mate who worked for the CSIRO for decades. He was a marine biologist. His area, optimal conditions for breeding prawns.
Yeah, I’ve never heard it said that way either is always C S I R O. We say it fast, but that sounded so wrong.
@@tealdragonfly4301 They also say emu wrong.
C.S.I.R.O. is how it's said no matter where you come from, I suspect (Oh except wherever the narrator lives) No idea where 'siro' came from
@@nikijade8317 Yes I agree, however I have heard it said as "siro" once or twice, but VERY rarely.
Many years ago I worked for a concreter in the Xmas holidays at the CSIRO Dept of Structural Engineering in Highett Vic.
Part of the building where a wind tunnel was housed developed large cracks in the brick walls. We were employed to rub a rough concrete mixture over the cracked walls, it was called 'bagging', so as to cover up the cracks. The irony of it has never left me. The CSIRO had a structure built to house a huge machine that was designed to test structural integrity. Their own building failed. I still laugh at that 50 years later. 😁
This just scratched the surface. There are hundreds of other inventions by Australians, especially in the medical field, like penicillin, spray on skin, spray on insect repellent, etc, etc.
Penicillin lol come on
Fleming was a Brit.
@@petersinclair3997 well yes, Scottish to be really precise.
@@petersinclair3997 Fleming found it. It was an Australian and German who turned it into a medicine that saved many lives
@@01DOGG01 actually just looked it up Fleming discovered it, but an Australian Scientist named Howard Florey and a German Refugee named Ernst Chain actually worked out how to use it as medicine. So I guess that pretty amazing anyway.
The reason that the United States does not have polymer banknotes is that Australia owns the patents on them. To use them your country must either have them made by the Australian Mint or pay a licencing fee to the Australian Government to be allowed to make them yourself. The US government wanted a licence to make them for free. The Australian government refused and so when the US upgraded the American currency to a more secure version they chose to use other methods rather than pay the fee. As a result the US dollar is still much more easily counterfeited than many other currencies around the world.
Of course the US didn't want to pay for our Polynotes, they complain over the rise in fuel prices for a start, while we have been paying out the ass for fuel for many years. If they used our Polynote tech they wouldn't be paying multi-millions of $ dealing with counterfeit money, BUT as long as they have weapons that's their main importance compared to everything else. Guns are WAY WAY more important than healthcare and having a healthy productive society for example. Their priorities are way off hahaha. Imagine how much money they'd save if they didn't have to deal with counterfeit money anymore hahaha.
But ready to charge everybody too. England finished paying for their "help/weapons" in WW2 in 2006.War ended 1945.
could be worse, if america wanted to they could just invade us for the crude oil that is in these polymer banknotes. luckily for us we are safe for now.
Haha more secure version. You guys still have paper notes. It's 2022!!!
We also started paywave guys. Don't forget that!! Pretty sure we were one of the first countries do be able to pay like that!!
Also hell yeah! Good on us for doing that. The amount of patents America has where you have to pay to do anything like that it's ridiculous. And look you guys over print money it's that easy... But it's easily lost and burnt and torn. But hey... They wanted to save money on that tiny bit of a patent that they had to pay. -_-
Ryan seems to be dealing with our Aussie internet speeds. 😂
1000Mbs?

Some other notable things invented in Australia: the programming that makes Google maps possible; the electric drill; refrigeration.
Just a bonus fact. Not that important, not like we use those daily or anything.
@Nikita aka gixxer 750 slav ruski girl 🤗 wierd. I'm one of those and I don't use drills.
@@peppycola lol
@@peppycola 😆 I noticed you didn't say which.... hence my polite reply.
Automatic doors, solar power bank, potato peeler, platypus
Sometimes videos manage to miss huge things. They mention flexible contact lenses, yet fail; to mention that the plastic lenses of virtually all eye "glasses" worn around the world is an Australian invention. I am old enough to remember spectacles made from real glass. Those things broke so easily when dropping them on the floor. Younger people can now drop their "glasses" without fear of them breaking because of the very hard optical plastic for lenses developed in Australia back in the 70's.
As an Aussie living in Dubai watching the implementation of polymer notes right now, makes me proud.
We also invented the left handed screwdriver and striped paint and also the foot long condom , which unfortunately was only a hit in Australia
Sending the apprentice out on their first day to get the left handed screwdriver and striped paint was a classic! 😂
Or even sending the apprentice mechanic to the store manager for a spark plug gap. Poor guy had no idea they were taking the micky out on him (Aussie slang for teasing and making a fool of him)
When I was doing work experience they tried a few of these on me but I had hung around enough older kids to have heard what they had been tricked with, so I would laugh along with them.
Then they told me about the last apprentice, they thought he was really stupid because every time they sent him on a bum steer he would disappear for 2 hours, tell them he checked at 5 different hardware stores and none of them had anything.
One day one of the tradesmen was coming back from a call out and saw the company ute parked outside of the local snack bar with ole mate inside playing on the pinball machine. It turns out he wasn't as stupid as they thought.
I was sent to the cake shop at morning tea time for 2 Randy tarts and a carton of cum juice , the manageress was not impressed when the salesgirl I'd asked repeated myorder at the top of her voice in a crowded shop beause she was new and didn't know where they kept the items .I was unceremoniously marched back to work with the manageress holding my ear and presented to my boss for punishment .I was 14 and was mercilessly tormented in this way until they hired the next kid who I obviously took part in his hazing .it's the Australian way
Oh you are terrible hahahaha 😆
Didn't mention the goon sack. Holds wine, it's a pillow, it's a foot ball, a flotation device. Lmfao.
Rite of passage that is.. that and passion pop.. lol gpod times
🤣🤣🤣 omg, so true! We've all done this in our teens! FYI for Ryan, Goon is Aussie slang for cheap boxed wine..
@@lady_bexy goon was the name of a flagon long before boxed wine showed up. Around here cask wine had the unfortunate name of Gin's handbag.
@@darrenheapy1265 God last time I drank passion pop was on the train from Townsville to Brisbane. A few bottles for the sole purpose of getting hammered and sleeping the trip away lol.
25 hour's on a train no thanks lol
@@lady_bexy best wine storage device ever. You can put it in the creek to keep cold and never break it 😜
I met the CEO of Cochlea when their share price went through the roof back in the day. I worked in retail at the time and he and his PA came to my store and we went through a list they had of gifts they were buying for all the staff. Very approachable and humble guy.
The chick on the dunny may have been an intro to the next australian invention - the dual flush toilet - well if not the idea, the first practical implementation
If you want everyday Aussie inventions, how about the notebook, the fridge, and the Granny Smith apple?
I knew there was a reason I loved Granny Smith's, they are Aussie
The refrigerator was invented by American Fred W. Wolf in 1913.
@@aheat3036 "The first practical vapor compression refrigeration system was built by James Harrison, a Scottish Australian. His 1856 patent was for a vapor compression system using ether, alcohol or ammonia. He built a mechanical ice-making machine in 1851 on the banks of the Barwon River at Rocky Point in Geelong, Victoria, and his first commercial ice-making machine followed in 1854. Harrison also introduced commercial vapor-compression refrigeration to breweries and meat packing houses, and by 1861, a dozen of his systems were in operation"
@@Ausecko1 Both of you could be correct , in that James Harrison came up with the first practical vapor compression refrigeration system but Fred wolf came up with the first fridge/ home refrigerator that we use today.
There is another video with more garden variety inventions.
Our previous Luddite government amazingly defunded CSIRO despite all their good work.
Yes Indeed .We invented the Transistor but the government decided valve radios were the best way forward so the invention was sold to the Japanese .
I'm still fuming about the last government and we'll be paying for their actions and inaction for a long time
The first ever finger reattachment Microsurgery was Australian plus the first PERC solar panels (Martin Green an Australian engineer invented the cell that birthed the global solar power industry. In 1983, he and his team invented the PERC solar cells which now power over 90% of all solar panels globally today.)
That one needs to be added to the wiki invention list, cause it's missing from it
Australia's greatest contribution to the world's drinking habits - Boxed Wine.
Australia's greatest contribution to the world's drinking culture - 'Goon of death'
Lol... love the goon box on the hills hoist game.... great pillow for when you crash where you are afterwards. So you're spot on. Many more superb inventions.
"Goon of Fortune" That's what we used to call the game. It never ends well but it is cheap.
When attached to the hills hoist makes a great game lolz
@@AnaDizzy The game is weighted if the Hills hoist is tilted. Still a good game.

An Australian engineer also invented the first tank in WW1.
I grew up in The Swan Valley WA, and not far from us lived the Sarich family. In the early 70s Ralph Sarich invented an internal orbital combustion engine, which was made a huge big deal of. I was only 7/8yrs old at the time, but I sure do remember the fuss that was made. One day I will research about it, coz I've heard many adults say that Ralphs invention would have changed the car industry forever, but some company got very nervous about it, bought the patent and the engine was never heard about again.....Yeah, I could google it right now, but I've only just thought about all this after 50yrs, so just sharing this in case other Aussies here remember and know something about it ?
I think it is used in motor cycles and motor boats.
@@chookinathunderstorm3446 I hope that is the case. This old memory is doing my head in, so finishing up my stuff, clearing some time and will be researching this tomorrow. I gotta know now lol
They main thing with that engine was it's fuel delivery system. Had unbelievable fuel figures. What I have read about it a oil company brought the rights to it and shelved it.
Yep I remember.
Greed is wonderful isn't it 😐 👎
Same with Henry Ford's Hempcar. Not good for steel manufacturers 💡
@@colinpryor6590 ahhh ok, well thanks for that info Colin. I wonder why it was shelved, sounding like this oil company was concerned this engine would cut the amount used in any combustion engine, so sounding like once again something that COULD'VE saved us using all the fossil fuels and destroying the planet, but the oil companies would lose money in the short term. This girl needs facts and the full story - looks like I got some reading to do lol....Ummm thanks for this Ryan lmao
WiFi was made possible in 1997, thanks to a Dutch project led by Victor Hayes. The Dutchman Cees Links - also known as the father of WiFi - played a vital role. WiFi was named after a mix of HiFi (High Fidelity) and Wireless.
While two Dutchies played significant roles in creating the WiFi we know and love, the technology as we know it today was actually developed by Australian company CSIRO.
Government funded science organisation
Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today's WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems.
Commonwealth Scientific Industrial, Research Organisation. CSIRO.
@@cgkennedy I mentioned that already.
@@peet4921 😂 Wrong!… WiFi was developed by Austrian-American Hedy Lamarr with the American composer George Antheil as a “secret communications system”. By manipulating radio frequencies at irregular intervals between transmission and reception, the invention formed an unbreakable code that could prevent secret messages from being intercepted. They received a U.S. patent for their invention in 1942. Then ALOHAnet at the University of Hawaii made it operational in 1971. Use Google and educate yourself!
We are also the country of 'Long Drops' - 'Dunnies' - and 'Thunderboxes' They are the places where red back spiders live.😅
I have never heard the CSIRO pronounced like that, you normally just say the letters.
Yeah I have only heard it called the C S I R O
yeah, that was a first for me too!
I was thinking the same thing!!!🤣🤣
I was coming here to say the same thing. 🙂
I have heard it pronounced as Siro .?(sigh row) but not for a long time .
I love the fact we have our own strain of wheat. Federation wheat.
My Dad is a fitter & turner.
Like a mechanic & parts maker for anything machines or robots.
In 1980 his friend owned a large bakery outlet in a factory.
He asked Dad to make him a machine that makes meat pies.
So dad did a few drawings & made it. Not sure if it already existed in some form.
He also made lots of other random things around that time like newspaper wrapping machines & hydraulic presses that bend steel into certain shapes for things like a fire hose horseshoe shaped hook, which I made 1000s of at age 9 & 10 using that device.
Now his company makes machines for mining & construction industries.
And the Chinese copied his designs. Lucky for him they can't match his high quality or standards & therefore he's still in business.
And reputation matters so his customers stay true. Some are biggest companies in the mining & construction game.
As for me, I invented nothing.
Proud of my boomer Dad but I think he's autistic, like Tesla probably was. Obsessed with making stuff & not into normal things or people much.
Your dad sounds like a top bloke
Great story, thanks for sharing👍.
Yes many geniuses have been on the spectrum, or at least excentric.
Hence Elon Musk's behaviour🙄.
"normal things"??? What like transgenderism etc etc
@@vtbn53 Whaaat?
😂😂😂Another top vid mate!👍🏻also LMAO over your “priceless reaction to the final scene” (bathroom)👍🏻👍🏻so funny!
The ad that played after the video was for the Husqvarna auto mower. Just after Ryan was talking about lawn mowers.
Australians seemed to invent so many things because they had to.
That plough thing is really important and the mechanics of it are still used in ploughs and harvesters today. The 'jump' mechanism.
Ryan, here is a video about ploughs from Australia's ABC. 😀ruclips.net/video/JyH99PMdNFI/видео.html
Michell bearings ARE in everyday items. They’re actually in the headphones you’re wearing in this video.
Really? You have a set of thousand horsepower headphones with Michell bearing in the prop shaft? MUST BE UNCOMFOTABLE TO WEAR!!
You should react to Jimmy Rees. We just had the Melbourne Cup yesterday and his video nails it as I live there and have been before. He is a funny guy. Keep an eye out for the guy who decides videos he does as well…there is cricket, AFL, packaging. All very funny 🤗
Today's was lions 😂

I have worked with the ENT surgeons. As an RN, I worked with the Patients who received the Cochlea implants.
A Golden Retriever, also received a Cochlea implant at the Veterinary Hospital.
*The Veterinary Hospital *
My sister-in-law has a Cochlear implant which serves her well
Yes we have benefited human society heaps. You can thank the CSRIO For a lot of that. We recently had a government that cut heaps of their funding.
Hopefully new government will invest more because we lose the scientists we paid to educate overseas.. also because we make money from royalties 🤷♀️
And it's the C-S-R-I-O not csrio.
Thank goodness! I thought maybe there was a new way to pronounce the CSIRO! I thought, “Geez, I’m old.”
Labor HAVE committed to more funding to the CSIRO. Yay.
Pronounced "syro". CSIRO were once world beaters, a gutsy, small scientific think tank making a global impact in discoveries and inventions all thru the 50s to 70s.
I've read the work atmosphere then was brilliant- optimistic, co-operative, friendly, respectful. Hope and hard work. Spit, spirit and dreams of a better future.
Then the Thatcherite policies began to slash funding and redirect goals and resources. Tight-arsed small businessmen and semi-literate farmers would be given the federal government portfolios that controlled CSIRO, and were never sufficiently briefed or smart enough to appreciate what it had achieved.
To them, a scientist was an old fart in a lab-coat with wispy white hair and a Swiss accent, who, after an hour of mixing the contents of 2 test tubes, leapt in the air and shouted EUREKA! An hour to cure wheat blight. An hour for a missile's radar to be able to see thru clouds.
If they couldn't see instant solutions to problems, was their thinking, why have all them boffins? And they used big words, too! Making the MP for Woop-Woop or Toryville realise how stupid they were.
So, a continual, over decades, slow but determined starvation of funding, support, access and resources. From decisions of ignorance, vindictiveness & ideology.
I admire their work and their incredible discoveries, but now a shadow of what might have been. The things they coulda done...
Not to forget the brilliant Dr. Fiona Stanley, who developed spray-on skin to aid the treatment of victims of the Bali bomb who were horribly burned. It has gone on to ease the suffering of countless people across the globe.
Oh; and didn't an Aussie come up with the combine harvester?
And the HPV vaccine invented at the University of Queensland by a team lead by Dr Ian Frazer
@@Shattered65 Ur barry Marshall, the guy from WA who determined that ulcers were caused by a bacteria and could be cheaply cured.
Let's face it, we could carry on listing great Aussie inventions till the cows come home.
peace.
@@stevious7278 He experimented on himself because he would never get permission to try it on someone else. He basically poisoned himself with the bacteria and cured himself. One of the outstanding, if not a little bit crazy, people we owe a huge debt to.
You’re never alone….someone is always watching 😜
Theres a couple I didn't know. Thanks for your videos.
The funny thing is, our WiFi is probably still the prototype. It is still really slow
Government intervention again .
The Internet is not Wifi.
WiFi is a method to connect to a local network. That's not the internet.
That's the tip of the iceberg, so many more inventions of common but usefull stuff. There are heaps of videos on it so I won't spoil the surprise😜
In 1854, James Harrison created a commercial ice-making machine in Geelong,
He then expanded to create a vapour-compression refrigeration system, which he was awarded a patent for in 1855
Which reminds me, Ryan... if you haven't seen a movie called *The Dish* starring Sam Neill, find it and enjoy.
Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-American actress and inventor who pioneered the technology that would one day form the basis for today's WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth communication systems.
Also invented Penicillin, Lithium treatment for Manic Depression, Airplane Blackbox, Electronic Pacemaker, Cochlear Implact, Ultrasound Scanner, Winged Keel on yachts, and currently developing the bionic eye...and good beer
Australia 🇦🇺 is awesome 😎
Great video as always mate. And the reason you were having trouble saying goodbye is because you love us 😆 we love you too. Cheers mate.
One of your best videos with Aussie's buffering Wifi 🤔🤣
Aussie's are known to do some of our best work after having a few cold one's 🍺 🍻 😄🤠
Good video thanks :). PS that last photo is typical Australian humour.
CSIRO is not pronounced Ciro, it is literally pronounced as the letters C S I R O.
Only until recently - a less offended bunch of Aussies would be just fine calling it Ciro
The rotary clothes line and the Aircraft inflatable escape ramp that also turns into life boats if the plane lands in water. also are Australian invention.
Little known fact, despite the Wackapedia entries.
ADSL (high speed internet over copper line) was developed at DSTO (Defence Science and Technology Organisation) in Adelaide South Australia
Wow, I did not know about the first 3 inventions, but I know there's been a tonne of breakthrough inventions in the medical field, agriculture and for the household.
A chick on the dunny was unexpected 😆
Funny hearing CSIRO as 'syro' rather than just c-s-i-r-o as normal 😄 . The one thing we don't shorten
One Australian invention that i didn't realise is the concept of "feels like temperature" (apparent temperature). This was invented by a textile professor, Robert Steadman, at LaTrobe university in Melbourne and has been adopted world wide.
The latex glove is still my vote for the most used Australian invention.
Also Sunshine Harvester (wheat) [sold to canadians] and Granny Smith apples, and the Ferguson tractor.
Thanks for checking out my video. I wanted to list a few inventions that don't usually get mentioned in Australian schools. (And somewhat clarify the wifi claim.)
You seemed to be completely bored! Always looking to,your right! Even If I didn’t understand the applications of all these inventions, I thought they and their inventors were awesome and incredible! How much better have our lives been made because of these inventors dedication and determination to bring their ideas to realisation and make life easier for us!
The CSIRO fellows who developed the polymer notes were also working on a method to split water into hydrogen and oxygen but they had a problem dealing with the oxygen.
We Aussies also invented the Humidicrib: Also known as an incubator or isolette, this is a clear plastic box that provides a warm, controlled, clean, enclosed environment where the baby can be easily observed. It helps protect the baby from infection and excess handling, and prevents them from using vital energy/calories to keep warm.
But we’re mostly proud of inventing the motorised eski (icebox) and the motorised picnic table.
😂😂😂
The black box flight recorder was invented in melbourne i believe
Early isolation created inventiveness from necessity.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" yes this is why ANZACS were preferred in the long range desert group in WW2.
but we were inventing things that made life better than in Europe, not just matching them, so I think it goes beyond just the necessity thing. Early officers spoke, in their journals, about how kids born in Australia grew taller & stronger than the convicts from Britain, due to being away from pollution & having access to fresh air & sunshine & good food, so inventions being so strong here probably relates to that, brain function was no doubt enhanced with that too. I mean remember, in Britain, they were drinking beer instead of water from birth, cause the water was too contaminated to drink without alcohol added to eliminate pathogens that would otherwise cause their death, so not exactly ideal circumstances for humans to reach their fullest potential!
We also refined the defibrillator for general public use.
CSIRO. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation. Just saying. For all those who didn't know 😄
Hey, I used to use an atomic absorption spectroscope many years ago when I was a lab assistant. Nice to know it was an Aussie invention.
Look up the “stump-jump plough” that many farmers used. 😊
Throw in both 3D radar (used in every airport in the world) & 3D sonar.
The chick on the dunny using her phone......doesn't get more Aussie than that! 🤣🤣
Yep, we invented the "Victa" lawn mower.....most women love this invention, the typical Aussie male, not so much.....I've always said "the Victa" was invented as pay back for the hills hoist 🤣🤣🤣
Victa
@@stevecollins7698 You are absolutely correct, and I thank you for picking up my mistake...correction has been made. Cheers cobber
@@roslynjonsson2383 yes I've always been intrigued as to why women (or kids) tend to be the lawn technicians in the family...spose they just got sick of asking. There's also things like exercise and "me time" as well I guess.
@@stevecollins7698 BOL hahaha....My ex and I owned a 1 acre property, half lawn and park style gardens, the back half orchard, veggie gardens, chook pens. Was his idea to have the lawns and front gardens, I wanted Aussie natives with stones (take care of itself garden), but guess who ended up spending 5hrs EVERY weekend mowing and tending to the front garden, yeah, he became allergic to pushing the mower, so bug a lugs here some how ended up being the mowing person - something went terribly wrong somewhere with that lol
When I was a child, my grandfather still had a push-mower. In the 70's Victa pretty much owned the Australian lawnmower market.
I still think the goon bag is one of our best - you know those silver bags in boxed wine, etc.
All of us at the last picture. 😲🤣
G'day mate, I really like your videos. They make me laugh a lot. Keep it up! Dave
We obviously sold the good WiFi to other countries because I'm Aussie and have the shittest WiFi ever. Even with boosters it's complete shit.
The internet is not Wi-Fi
@@MON-ud7sw You can thank those f*ckers, the Liberal Party for screwing up our internet after they (Abbott/Turnbull) went for the cheaper NBN option. As usual with the Libtards, it was eventually found to be vastly inferior AND more expensive.
So many folks buy wifi extenders and boosters when the actual issue is the internet service provided to your home not a poor wifi signal from your router.
An australian invented the cattle grid whilst on holiday in Scotland. That one always makes me laugh.
As an Australian who heard CSIRO said a lot as a kid in school and on TV etc, hearing the guy in the video say it as one word instead of each letter C S I R O (I assumed because it was an acronym it was correct, but just now thought about QANTAS and now i know nothing) is doing my head in hahaha
one of Australias gr8 inventions was the black box in aircraft
You’re not alone.. we’re watching you and not in a creepy way. Well maybe a little creepy..
You have to watch one of Australia’s finest comedians, Tim Minchin - Lullaby. It’s not what you’d expect.
More importantly, we also invented drop bears.
Down side to polymer banknotes is (especially new ones) if slightly wet they can stick to each other, I have in nightclubs both accidentally overpaid and also been given more change than I should have gotten thanks to money and wet bars.
Australians got so smart at making things easier to use, so we could have more leisure time. 🤣
Ten seconds in and you make me laugh…lifts my day! Most Aussies do their best thinking with a beer. I have a chemistry degree and I found the AAS explanation boring. You might be interested in the story of Hedy Lamarr, a famous and very beautiful Hollywood actress, who actually did invent the science that led to WiFi. It’s an amazing story of her having to hide the fact she was a scientist because MGM decided people would not watch her movies if they knew she was smart, of her patriotism for her adopted country, and of her invention being stolen by the government.
The tri axle 3 motor bogie used on diesel locomotives is an Australian invention, for the train enthusiasts...
The CSRIO is not pronounced as a word but just the initials
It stands for Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.. very important and wonderful organisation.
Regarding Dutch ship wreck on Western Australia there was a Dutch colony found by a English explorer in northern Territory south of Darwin whom had been there for 170yrs and the aboriginal people were saying yah! Not yes as they were interactive with the Dutch 150yrs before captain cook who landed on east coast.thats why Australia is called new holland( new Holland farm machinery)
The black box recovered in crashes on aeroplanes is I reckon our greatest invention.
CSIRO didnt invent WIFI, there were a number of other research companies working on Wireless networking, but all were failing. It was the CSIRO that worked out the problem with WIFi first. Essentially, when a transmitter was broadcasting, it was also hearing its own transmission coming back, sort of like an audible echo and was confusing the transmitter.
CSIRO fixed the problem, and even to this day, receives royalties on that work.
An invention that doesn't work is called research. Australian research created a working invention.
That’s the first time I’ve heard “syro”. My entire life I’ve only ever heard it called by the individual letters C.S.I.R.O.
My grandmother worked there and called it C.S.I.R.O.
🤷🏻♀️
(I remember visiting her at work in around 1980/81 to see a “computer” that she used for work everyday. It had a big monitor and keyboard, and the “computer” was encased in metal wall cabinets that took up all the wall space of her large office/room and the room next door. It had the dab ability of doing about 1/1,000,000th of what a cheap phone dies these days.
But she was the most computer literate grandma I ever knew or heard of in my social and school life. My grandparents loved to cook. They computerised their recipes one shared them via 5.25” floppy disks as friends and family gradually got computers at work or home. Or they’d print them all out on their home dot matrix printer - a huge luxury to have both a home pc and printer in around 1984/85! She passed away 5 years ago, aged 94, still using modern day technology/computers/laptops/smart phones etc etc at age 94.)
Well done Ryan, freeze the picture of the toilet break! 👍😄
One big one missed that is recent is over the horizon radar, jindalee Operational Radar Network that can detect a missile firing from over 5000kms away, way further than any US based system could do with far less antenna power. An amazing achievement.
Probably will be shared with the US under AUKUS.
Australians are very innovative. We have a lot of inventions to our name for a relatively small (population-wise) country
You're a top bloke Ryan
In the netherlands I was taught our country invented wifi but the one who made a part of it was an australian woman called hedy lamarr developed a technology that allowed radio waves to hop from one frequency to another
Sorry, but Hedy Lamarr was an Austrian-born American actress. Her invention enabled secure radio communication during World War 2 but this was before the internet was invented.
CSIRO owns the international patents on WiFi.
@@kennethdodemaide8678 and now that invention enables mobile phones
Gotta say…this is the first time I’ve heard the CSIRO referred to as ‘SY-roe’
I'm very impressed with Australian inventions, a lot i didn't even know about I'm ashamed to say
im here brother you aren't alone we love the videos mate
""Way too smart""..... Hahahahaha.... very good, sir.

They forgot to mention that the fridge freezer was invented by a guy in Geelong Victoria and the combine harvester in New South Wales Australia....
Not that a harvesting machine didn't exist, it's that if there was bad weather and the crop was flattened, the harvesting machine couldn't harvest it, the New South Wales machine could pick it up and harvest it.... It's now used world wide.... There are videos on both topics and feature amazing stories of the people behind the inventions....
For a while Australia was able to produce grain while there was a food shortage everywhere else around the world.....
I don't know if In Situ Vitrification was an Australian invention but I know that we used this technique to turn radioactive waste into a porcelain block which made radioactive waste much safer.... You can learn more about that by searching videos on the British Nuclear Testing in Australia... After the British Nuclear Testing program in Australia had finished, Australia decided to make sure that the waste products had been handed correctly.. it wasn't so the Australian government stepped in to fix the problem... This is the first and only time that I have ever heard of the In Situ Vitrification process and after watching so much video footage on anything nuclear, I was surprised that I had never heard of it before, did no one else know about this??? Apparently they had 4 megawatts worth of generators to power this huge device (it was in the middle of the outback and there are no services there) that literally melted the ground and everything in it....
And that's coming from a country that doesn't want anything to do with nuclear energy...
