_______________________________________________________________________
This Yi Bell or faith bell was copied from a 2-tone bell discovered in 1978 in the grave of the Chinese marquis Yi from the 5th century BC.
It is cast from a newly developed copper-magnesium alloy and possesses a singular physical characteristic resulting from its special shape and the effect of temperature on oscillation
damping.
At room temperature, the bell only sounds dull and wooden. However, if it is heated for several minutes with an alcohol burner, until it reaches about 100 degrees Centigrade, it produces a beautiful tone.
Tim has wanted one of these Yi Bells for a very long time. He finally managed to track down a company that sold them!

"dinner's ready, call the kids in."
"alright just let me heat up the bell."
A bit windy today... Might as well already consider this breakfast
Lol
My parents use a trolley bell from a San Francisco cable car
tbf, now the dinner will actually be ready and not about to be ready.
Gotta cook the bell.
This feels like a grandpa showing off his collection of antique items that he collected from around the world off to his grandchild who actually very interested
Welp, we ARE his internet grandchildren after all, watching his videos as we listen to his explanations.
Mr. Wizard
I diagnose You with wholesome...
That is exactly what is happening.
@@rikatai1931 that's my diagnosis...
if you heat me up to 100C, I also make a high pitched ringing noise.
In a 100 years, we might even find you in the grave of a Chinese Marquis ..
Extraordinary!
Had to do a double take at your name... I’m a Snellgrove and my dad’s name is Mark, lol
Mark Colegrove 100000000% you are a dad, and if you arnt you are now from that dad joke
Mark Colegrove XD
This made me audibly chuckle.
An instrument that you tune with fire. Definitely a Fire Nation invention.
That's what I was thinking
Flamio, Hotmun
All fun and games till those mfs attack
I believe this may actually originate from the Western, "Vape Nation"
* Zuko has entered the chat *
"Dude this bell is broken af"
"Throw it into the fire, fuck it"
"Dude now it works"
This was probably the inventing process hahah
Who hits a bell on a fire? More importantly, who puts a bell on a fire?!?
@@yunantheobserver6841 The Chinese apparently.
U... Had sexual intercourse with a bell u threw in fire for it to sound right?
I respect the dedication, sounds hard and painful brother
Throwing broken things into fire to make them work seems to be something Momo would do in a tank fight.
I'm watching a gentleman tap a Chinese bell instead of working.
Now I'm on Amazon looking for a Chinese bell.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
better luck on Ebay to find phoney reproductions
crack your own bell save a bundle of money
Or just buy it on grand illusion website and support Tim
Welcome to current year.
"that's what a bell should sound like"
Me, stroking my beard and tilting my glasses: "Mmmm, quite."
I'm imagining an anime guy with his glasses going whote
@@splitfancycake9069 I imagined a grandpa!🙊😁
Holds big belly, laughs: "Ho, ho, hoh. Indeed"
„A proper bell, isn’t it?“
Mmm indeed. What a fine specimen.
I counted 198x he hit that bell. Around 153 he was pleased :)
:D
U had extra time didnt u...
We believe u
Huh. Neat.
Really? I lost track at 61
He has a British accent which makes this bell more interesting
That is very funny... 😂😂😂
*there's no such thing as a British accent.*
@Adam Kent there's only regional British accents, not a set British accent. You know what I mean
@Adam Kent I know what you mean Adam. Thank you!
There's 4 umbrella languages and when you include local dialect there's thousands, he's got an English accent, not British
Only an old person can turn up the temp. to 31 C and call it AVERAGE ROOM TEMP.
It isnt?
@@diptyapinakaherringcandrad2930 no, it's not... 25C (78F) is
You guys are all wrong, room temp. is actually 22 C.
@@Armin-ez4fl 25c like a freezer, what are talking about? it's about 19c in my house and I'm shorts and tshirt and it's fine. Anything over 15-16c is tshirt weather to be honest. I really don't see how you could consider 21 or 25 cold. Anything over 18-20 and I have to sleep without covers.
Apparently people get confused by the switch between C AND F... this following text is from the very first website if you type “optimal room temperature” :
- “The optimum room temperature is between 18°C and 21°C. Minimum temperatures of 20°C or 21°C may be required for infants, the elderly and the sick. Temperatures lower than 18°C or higher than 24°C can be a health risk.”

Eh, there's actually one video in there--but only one. I'm referring of course to that toilet humor toys video on here a while back.
The original Yi bells didn't actually need to be heated and many did have dual intonation that was calibrated very precisely by filing away at a notch.
This type of novelty Yi bell is made from a much more recent alloy of copper and magnesium which is responsible for the effect observed, and these novelty Yi bells are produced specifically to illustrate the role temperature can play in oscillation dampening. Copper-magnesium alloy was certainly not available during the bronze age when genuine Yi bells would've been used ceremonially.
A very interesting novelty!

HA! Oh man. I actually laughed out loud at that...
Overdamp, they call it
He legit sounds like an Auctioneer. And the fact that he also ring the bell every time the temperature goes up just make it better

"There's a fire, ring the bells!"
"Wait, we gotta let it pick up a bit."
I love how this guy says "i am very pleased" instead of "i am very excited" or something like that
Watching Tim's videos is how I imagine it would be to hang out with my grandpa. Never knew the man, but my mom tells me he was into gizmos and thing-a-ma-bobs like Tim is.
Don't we all? Untill some party pooper tells us not to. 😥
*sets up fire under Bell*
*Bell gets hotter*
Extraordinary
😂
😂
_sensational_
@It’s Coming But it ain’t God The bell isn't becoming more dense. It is becoming less dense. The metal is expanding, so the gap in the bell is being pushed tightly together, causing the bell to again resonate instead of deadening on its crack.
😂

The way he announces the reading on the thermometer and hits the bell with a hammer sounds like he's hosting an auction
There once was a bell from hell
Which when hit did not sound like a bell
Beneath it a fire was lit
And gradually as it was hit
It began to sound more like a bell
You're right Gnarux...What are we doing with our lives?
Did you make this up?
@@Mewcaloid Yes.
“And casually, in the room an unearthly chorus began to swell.
Upon hearing its chime, suddenly, you knew the time.
It surely made sense, even though it was the most dreadful of the sublime.
For the Fire King took his approach.
Upon his neck sat a broach.
The king pointed at you with a crooked smile, and a bruised up hand.
“It’s your turn to face this land.”
The bell tolled three more chimes, and the flames in your vision turned to sand...
As before you, three strong Litches, were ready to stand.
Friend or Foe, your fate was unknown, for all you could hear was the Bell, in the distance. You knew this was no ordinary spell.
You reached for your wand, it did not exist. Not in this place, known as Exramatrist.”
dude gnarux's comment is right above yours
I just watched a bell heat up for minutes. It 3am and I have nothing to do...
When that happens, take some magnesium salt and go back to bed.
Go to bed 3 weeks ago
...... Sad....
Im doing the same thing at 12am in the morning too! 😂🤦♂️
Same!
THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IN THE ROOM IS 31 CELSIUS!
The summer has been murder on europe this year ;.;
*Laughs in Arabian heat*
*laughs in southeast asian heat*
saransh bakshi you got a point, certainly warmer over there. In Sweden where I'm at, it's been the hottest summer, ever. I'm not exaggerating, it's never been a warmer summer in Sweden since we started recording and archive the temperature readings :P and all our buildings, since we're in the north, are build to keep as much heat inside as possible. You got it warmer but I'd like to think i'm suffering more just because Sweden's not built for it xD
when you live in florida and never see a cold day o.o''
Radditz770 31 C is not even hot. Try living with 40+ everyday in the summer
The lamps illuminating the setup is heating the bell
So
Around the table 23 24 degrees no problem
But if you have ever been in a studio you will know the heat eminating from the lightsource
Metals have crystal structures that change at different temperatures. Different crystal structures vibrate more or less easily!
Thank you. Scrolled all the way down here to get some sort of explanation.
👍alright !
i was thinking there is something mechanical inside the bell that expands when it gets hot and moves away a vibration damping device that normally dulls the sound.
I love nice old people just showing cool stuff they have
he spent his fortune on that junk that is amazing
My childhood experience of old men, trying to show me their nice stuff, is much different.
@@rogerd4559 it's not junk. I collect things too
Yep

Tim really is just the right amount of insane.
he is between Montey python and Dr who
everytime I hit the thumbs up it takes one away, don't know who you pissed off on youtube but as of right now it should say 117, not 114...
love it
indeed
😂
I wouldnt be surprised if he has a collection of rare cards and his grandson's name is Yugi.
Why the heck are there so many downvotes?!?!?! This man ROCKS.
31 degrees?! What kind of sauna is this filmed in?!

It's the work of an enemy stand
epic asian moment when you realized you were born and raised in a huge ass sauna
As a scandinavian that was my thought as well "did he say 31...degress...celcius.. why is he able to stand!?"
Rune Fjord I live in Australia and a few weeks ago it was 36 degrees Celsius in the shade and 47 degrees Celsius in the sun.
31 degrees is a nice cool day... I'd probably put a jumper on if it hit 30
What am I doin with my life
Gnarux I'm doing very poor, for what concerns me

'ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee'
Hahaha love it!
This nice old man always has such neat things to show me.
I love this man! He’s so pleasant to listen to
The temperature growing up rapidly and this bell still sound like an old, rusty tube. That's extraordinary...
Tim waited 20 years to get this bell. That's longer than I've been alive. What an amazing man.
That is the first time I’ve ever seen someone successfully light a match on the first strike
I love this man's videos. His presentation strikes some sort of nostalgia
Tim, you're an amazing person with a fabulous collection of fascinating objects. Thank you for sharing them with us all.
Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for heat.
Bell's tolling for that joke...………….. sheesh
0/10 missed opportunity to say "it tolls for yi"

a bell that needs to be warmed up to sound like a bell, Great idea
Ikr? I dont get its purpose lmao
ive come to youtube to learn how to change a toilet seat, 20 min later im watching a ''how to'' on bee keeping, 2 hours later here i am.
Grandpa Tim has an amazing Yi bell
That he would like to show some people
An extraordinary fire he lights
until the temperatures right
And rings clear until the heat fell
Extraordinary little poem you have made hats off to you Jeff
Let's appreciate the fact that this man can hear and define a quarter tone sound difference
It's a very elaborate bell. I love the details on it.
This is a cow bell to let you know when the steak is done

ROFL...
Best comment Ive seen on youtube for a while :D
wot im dead
Lol!!!
Needs more Yi bell
that bell has a fever
I understood that reference! (SNL ;) )
3:26 onwards, Tim discovers that striking the bell in different places makes a different note. That's partly due to the shape, and partly due to the fact that the bottom of the bell is a lot hotter than the top. 3:39 - 3:40 "Still nothing at the top" YES! Also the top of the bell is not so hot, but he never measured it there.
For some reason I could not stop watching this.
"it becomes a live bell" -- truly brilliant way of looking at this work of art
Tim always brings a smile to my sad, jaded face.
You and many of us...
You are NOT alone...
Be strong!
"It's dropped a quarter of a tone" Yep, he's a musician.
his voice is very calming. I kind of fell asleep listening to it
Very cool.
I love the look of it.
extraordinary
Thanks Kayne !

Really cool bell and demonstration. Thank you.
Im glad he got what he wanted but damn 20 years
I didn't find this video I genuinely love what you share
your voice is like a soothing voice I can fall asleep to.
What a great channel think I am in for a binge session this afternoon. Your channel remind me of the kind of thing the BBC used to show in the 50's, 60's and 70's, maybe something Robert Robinson would do, before the BBC tried to dumb everything down and become hip and aim everything at the mentality of a 4 year old, the kind of things I mean would always be playful and entertaining, but have an educational aspect, and would pay the audience the compliment of assuming they had at least a modicum of education and didn't need to have every little thing explained to them.
Have a binge session. He's videos are amazing :)
you hit it bang on, thats why i love his vids too. Kinda reminds me of Bob symes with the way he talks. Something oddly relaxing about it that i cant explain.
This channel is so wholesome
Very happy to see you ❤

Thank you for sharing! Never seen such before.
Really interesting! Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful, and clever. The expansion of the metal tunes the bell.
I want one 😂
Excellent demo 👍
It may have a crack and when the heat is applied, then when expansion, it will separate and more sustain in tone can happen.
Heat > Expands > Attains shape for Resonant Frequency. :D
Will Birtchnell
As he said.
*EXPAND BONG*
...
why
Don't think the expansion will be significant enough to change it's natural frequency appreciably. I would guess the elastic modulus would be making more of a contribution, as well as an a decrease of it's natural damping characteristics with temperature. I would really like to know the answer though
My first thought was the bell alloy must become more homoginous or crystalline in structure as the temperature increases. I cannot see how a slight difference in alloy expension could change the damping characteristics so significantly; I would expect the resonant frequency to change the most.
I have never seen awesomeness before 👍👍👍 this is dope 👌👌
I don't know who this guy is or why im getting recommended his videos, but im intrigued
Alternate between pressing 4 and 6 for a good hot and cold sound comparison.
'It's a bit easier to do it with a candle, inbetween'.
Indeed, Tim.
thisiszaphodbeeblebr
Perfect for the odd "shot twixt wind and water", indeed.
Some metals don't need heating to ring nicely, silver for instance.
