In these lectures Michael Faraday’s careful examination of a burning candle reveals the fundamental concepts of chemistry, while at the same time superbly demonstrating the scientific method. In this lecture Faraday focuses on the physical changes occurring in the candle, for example, how the wax moves from the candle into the flame.

This book introduces modern readers to Michael Faraday’s great nineteenth-century lectures on The Chemical History of a Candle. This companion to the KZread series contains supplemental material to help readers appreciate Faraday’s key insight that “there is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of science than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle.” Through a careful examination of a burning candle, Faraday’s lectures introduce readers to the concepts of mass, density, heat conduction, capillary action, and convection currents. They demonstrate the difference between chemical and physical processes, such as melting, vaporization, incandescence, and all types of combustion. And the lectures reveal the properties of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, including their relative masses and the makeup of the atmosphere. The lectures wrap up with a grand, and startling, analogy: by understanding the chemical behavior of a candle the reader can grasp the basics of respiration. To help readers understand Faraday’s key points this book has an “Essential Background” section that explains in modern terms how a candle works, introductory guides for each lecture written in contemporary language, and seven student activities with teaching guides.

@@engineerguyvideoyou are such a awesome person
Studying is really fun if you do it for the sake of learning not test 😐 awesome video,ima watch all
As I listened to your commentary, I couldn't help but think of the oft used phrase "we stand on the shoulders of giants". Thanks for bringing Michael Faraday's work to life for me... as compared to the dry, textbook versions I have read before.
Hearing this explanation of the physical world spoken so articulately gives me hope for the human race. It puts my mind at ease to know that not everyone attributes such things to magic and supernatural explanations. Kudos to all those involved in this production.
I know Faraday from an electrical background. I am surprised at how much he touched the whole community.
You almost sound like Carl Sagan. Faradays language and observations are spot on. Your keeping him alive is good
This is working poetry, well done. Your knowledge and articulation are inspiring.
youtube needs a super like button after this
Wonderful, thank you
i have no clue how i found this, but i like it, great video
Is there any chance for more lectures in the future? Listening to the longer videos is fascinating

+EkinsOnTrack I am not sure. Faraday gave other lectures and we have considered them, but no firm plans.

Who is Faraday by the way
Let's imagine we are inside a room, there is no electricity, no light, and no windows, there is only one door to enter and exit from. In the room, there are three pipes on the walls that are like faucets. The first has active magma flowing down from it. Can you see the magma? The flow of the magma is stopped and the next faucet is turned on. It has molten iron flowing from it. Can you see it? The second faucet is turned off and the third one is turned on. Molten glass flows from it. Can you see it? That is also turned off. Remember that the room has no electricity and no light, it is completely pitch black. Will these illuminate their surroundings? If the answers to these questions are yes or no, could you scientifically explain how and why?
Omg yasss!!!

Sorry about that -- as I've mentioned to a few others we get complaints if we release an interlinked series one by one and if we release them at once ... do you have a recommendation?

well i think the best solution would be for youtube to stack videos uploaded by one channel on the sub page... but other than that i dont know how you could solve that problem

That would be nice! Our problem is this: if we leave them unlisted -- so the links from the intro video work, for example -- then they are not part of KZread's search. I would like an option of "unlisted, but searchable." If it helps: we KNEW we would get complains ... so I tired to warm people in a video where I announced they were coming all at once.

You can upload the videos as private, do everything you would normally do, and go to advanced, uncheck "notify subscribers", second option from the bottom on the left. Then make it public.

I did not know this: I would have loved to have known that at 6am this morning! That is very useful. Thanks so, so much for this.
