I love your shows. Please be sure to put your goggles on, such as when you put your face in front of that bell jar with high vacuum, which could have imploded. Keep those demonstrations coming!

Almost like watching a cooking program. Always making several experiments at once. He was most likely a maniac in the kitchen!

this man's passion was unprecedented, but even as a chemical engineer, the explanations behind his demonstrations can be somewhat complex and certainly can't be covered in 10-15 minute episodes. interesting for people who understand the why's and how's of his experiments, impossible to fully grasp without a background in science. on a personal note, i wish my chemistry professors had been as exciting and energetic as he is.

*amused* (Berkeley physics 112 class was told to watch this by our prof.) - come on, that's funny.

He didn't explain why the water boils in the flask when he "lays on his hands". That is because his cool hands lead to condensation on the side of the flask, which lowers the pressure in the flask, which lowers the boiling point for the water.
