"I could use the tip of my finger if it was long enough, but it's not... so I'm going to use a different part of my body."
That was SO cool! I would love to see this lecture, really, I hope I can visit the university of Nottingham some day. Greetings from a portuguese bioengineering student :)
Fantastic! :D I'd love to have a sit-in on that lecture. Hehehe.
Great stuff Pete... very entertaining... I'm sure you managed to inspire quite a few people with that presentation... I used to do one at the college I worked at for primary school kids and it always pleased them immensely. You've captivated an older audience here, which is great!
the most amazing thing ever would be if periodicvideos posted the full length lecture, in parts or in a whole, doesn't matter to me. PLEASE PLEASE post the full length lecture!!!!!
yo, coolest lecture ive ever seen in my life. Why cant all gen chem classes be like this. Youd think atleast theyd reward you with such a demo in analytical but nope just more math. This is what chemistry should be about
I don't get it. where's the lightning?
blagh! the begining scared th sh:t out of me :,O
I am so going to Nottingham for college. I want to see these with my own eyes.
The video should be titled welcome to Hogwarts
My teacher did a few of these in our Chemistry class. She was a great teacher.
"Luminescent light"? That's a tautology! :)
We need more scientists doing this. Going out, and getting young people interested in the sciences. I love it.
This lecture deserve to have more audience.. Really eye-opening!!
Much appreciated for the upload and the time and effort put into the videos. Quite a few of my mates have seen this and there's actually one or two which are considering nottingham down to your video's.
With such enthusiastic people working there, it should be awesome for them. Shame high school and college isn't the same!
I loved this part of the visit, the loudest and most satisfying thing I've ever seen
Excellent job Pete !
Best. Class. EVER!!!!
great stuff as always.
Great video!
Hi Brady,
just curious, when are the sessions for thunder and lightning lecture each year? is it open to public?
I could watch that forever...
I wish they did lectures like these in my chemistry courses. Maybe I should go up to Nottingham to study. :)
I'd just love to see one full lecture i don't care what its about, it would be amazing to see it.
what to liquids were you using to make the glowing liquid, and were you using a darkened room or a black light?
I went to one of these lectures (want to go to Nottingham Uni). Was absolutely fantastic! Even though the chemicals used for the Barking Dog (which was a lot louder than it sounds here!) made us all cough a little XD Chemistry is Brilliant!
We have "if smells and goes boom it's chemistry, if it's green and wriggles it's biology, and if it's broken it's physics". It doesn't rhyme, but it's still fun :)
Videos like this make me want to study chemistry in University.
hi guys, a month ago i was wondering about this lecture held this year; here's the answer!

'Thunder and Lightning lectures are at 12-1pm and 2-3pm. Bookings for the lectures can be made at the central booking office on B floor of Portland Building. No tickets, no entry!'
credits to @deanmalenko for reminding me the power of gooooooooogle ^^
The barking dog is awesome!
check out all the videos from periodicvideos. all of these experiments have been done before and explained in their videos, it's all really fantastic stuff.
amazing. hope they do this in my university.
Any chance of doing some sort of Public lecture tour? Maybe hitting a few sites in the USA? I'd love to see it live, but I am done with college and live in the US
Chemistry is simply amazing...
at my school the only experiment we ever perform in chemistry is a flame test. If after chemistry you decide to take ap chemistry ,then you do about one lab a week.
Yes, I know. I went to Stuyvesant high school(a public magnet school). We had to take the SHSAT to get in and 96% of test takers were rejected from Stuyvesant.
what did he mix to get the blue lightning liquid at the begining
The experiment in 5:18 sounds like a weird bass drop!
Cool video!
That bulb of phosphorous was awesome....was it any specific type of phosphorous?
Any chance of seeing the full lecture somewhere?
It's a metaphor. Lots of light, lots of noise, lots of thunderous chemistry!
SOOO enjoyed going to the community open day at Notts Uni this year and seeing all this live!. the kids liked it too! Gosh i wish i was at school now, I'd be so much more appreciative of sciences as a subject. My science teacher was Boring. Science is exciting! where does it go wrong in school?? thanks to the chemistry department for making it all accessible. Will the dept of Physics be running Tesla coil experiments next year?? :)
just awsome!
Christmas lecture's said to be kinda the same at my university - missed the last one though. My bad...
Wow, I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that. You're right.
nice move to inspire young minds to consider chemistry :)
There's a saying among german scientists (unfortunately I can't translate it with the rhyme intact):
"it's chemistry when it stinks and goes boom,
and if it succeeds it's physics."
This is coolz.
I never done this stuffs even though I'm a chem grad.
if phosphorus is the tiger, is fluorine the Cthulhu?
hi dean, thanks! i hope its open to publik... i will check out their website :) thanks again!
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro!
Magnifico!
Some people did a demo like this in our school a number of years back.
Actually I went to a public school, and in fact. The top 6 or so high schools in NYC are all public schools. Stuyvesant is by far the best high school in NYC, and it's public. 40% of the kids there get accepted to ivy league schools with scholarships.
Nice!!!
how much fun was that?!?!
Agreed. Part of it was school's concern for safety. Yes safety is important, but they are taking the fun away too. I think they should do something that is safe and fun.
very nice video :] like dit!
Brilliant
Does anyone happen to know all the chemical reactions or procedures in this video?
The title of this video is very scary
(kudos if you get the reference)
We never did anything this interesting at Manchester Uni, I guess I should have gone Nottingham :(
@periodicvideos
I would FLY over from Australia to be part of that audience! Is it a recurring event or one-off?
I've seen that lecture in the flesh twice (once on an open day and again as the first undergrad lecture), didn't have the phosphorus though :(
If only my uni was like this.... There isn't even a lab bench in the LT.
Phosphorus, you mean? No ... it's okay under water. Sodium (and most other metals in the same group) are stored under oil, because they react strongly with water. But phosphorus - that's safe kept under water. This prevents it from reacting with air, which it does very strongly. As to why it doesn't react with the water so much... maybe Brady could get Pete Licence to do a video on this topic..... I'd be interested to know.
Who more often plays with stuff that goes boom, chemists or chemical engineers?
i do the "barking dog" with methanol and glass bottles all the time!
I love science and chemistry and I am in 4th grade
would be nice with some theoretical explanations on those ;o
Yep. High school is lame, but Uni is the best experience. At least here in USA. Our high school system is ranked lower than some third world countries, but we have the best university system in the world.
why don't they do that at my university, I bet that this illustrations would pretty much impress the class and rise interest
They used to be. I went to one. In the mid-70s there was a shake-up of the education system in England & Wales (I went to school in the north of England) and grammar schools fell out of favour with the education bods in Whitehall. The system of secondary modern schools and grammar schools was replaced by one with just comprehensive schools in it. A very badly thought-out idea.
Not that I miss my grammar school - it was a shit-hole. But we did have a few good teachers there.
Und wie ist es original auf Deutsch?
"Chemie ist's, wenn's knallt und stinkt,
Physik ist's, wenn's gelingt"
;0)
1:15
that exit door looks horrified...
Freakin' COOL sh... stuff!
Cool pictures, but what's going on? Please give more details.
Most schools that don't specialise in chemistry don't give chemistry teachers enough time to do experiments with the class interactively.
Wish i got this early in school. I bet i'll do far better in chemistry.
Actually Potassium is stored under oil, not water. It reacts violently with water.
Did i hear Neil talking?
3:50
WOMP! Kay!
"And we need to leave the guys with a few surprises for their real life audiences!"
Yes, but you must realize that there are some people who can't afford this kind of education, and grasp for any fraction of the actual experience.
4:15 Thought he was going to say 'so it doesn't blow the bottom of my testicles".
Pete Licence at his finest. :-D
HOW IS THAT ROOM SO EMPTY? *does not compute*
That was white phosphorus and not red phosphorus, I believe. Not easy to get hold of white phosphorus.
-warping sound- BOOM!!! XD
@DasMustafah Queen FTW!
what is the point of your strap on camera? it is always showing a bad angle and does not add much to the video. If you can not come up with a better way of getting better shots with that second camera, I suggest reducing its size so that it does not take up so much screen space. You can do better! Great experiments though! Thanks for putting these videos up!
Cool :D :D
not everybody can get in though! its not a school that will accept everyone, you must have a high enough academic abillity in order to even get in i think. In the Uk these are called grammar schools
@eltotoX Same, would be hilarious if he did xD
maybe 1000 years ago they would have called this sorcery.
No
That was funny ! ...
In high school I thought chemistry was really boring. How wrong I was.
Maby this wasnt a god idea today.... hungover :P
