Expanding In One Dimension...
Ғылым және технология
Tim explores a variety of mechanisms that allow a toy to get bigger in one dimension - there will be more dimensions in later videos!
A telescopic toy gun from Japan and a steel telescopic pen... the write stuff? Telescopic cutlery, a fork and a spoon! A 14th Century proverb says 'He who sups with the Devil should have a long spoon'. Finally, a magnet on a telescopic rod. Handy for retrieving anything that is attracted to a magnet...
Then... unfurling. Tim shows a few party blow outs of various lengths. A snake with an extending tongue which unfurls...
Then something Tim calls 'paper yo yos'. A coil of slightly elasticated paper allows an action rather like a traditional yo yo.
Then springs... springs in tins for example.
Then modelling balloons. When you inflate them, instead of expanding in all dimensions like a regular balloon, these expand in one direction, to give a long tube; you can use this is a starting point for making balloon animals.
Then a Japanese folk toy which has an intriguing mechanism of rods and string.
Popoid tubes have a corrugated structure, and can be extended. You can also whirl them in the air, and they make a sound.
Then some joke tubes of ketchup and salad cream. These were early items in Tim's collection, acquired back in the 1970s. Squeeze the bottle and although it looks as if ketchup is shooting out, although in fact it is a piece of string, blown out by air pressure!
Finally, the 'magic wand' mechanism. Of course Tim has these in a variety of sizes, even a giant one that is 7 or 8 feet long!

It's ok, Tim. It's your show. You don't have to have an excuse to bring snakes in a can to every video.

I really miss that long fork when we sit at the festive table :(
old yet still new, it’s why toys are so great: there’s new ways to interpret old ideas and make them fun for a new generation
This man just seems like the most incredible grandpa. Imagine him coming home from a long trip to wherever to check out new toys. You just know he would bring back the best gifts and tell the best stories!!
The moment i found this young gentleman, i immediately thought of my grandpa, im pretty sure that he reminds most of us of our grandparents too.....long live king

Now I am ready to sleep peacefully after another wholesome video from Tim
I just love his brogue, his quirky sayings, and basically everything he says. He's so wholesome even with this topic, he handles it beautifully
The telescopic ball point pen is designed to be a pointer for lecturers. My dad used to have loads of them
That telescoping wand with just a magnet on the end that was shown alongside the cutlery is very often used to fish things out of engine bays when they get loose from messy or shaky hands. Very useful little devices.
Might sound a little bit weird, but I consider Tim to be a grandpa of mine. I never met either of my grandfathers and if I ever did, I think the comfort Tim makes me feel through these videos would be the same feeling I'd feel with my granpapas. Thanks Tim, for making me feel not so lonely whenever I need it over the years.
I really enjoy Tim's enthusiasm for sharing his collection and I'm continually impressed by the variety of themes for the videos they produce for youtube. Great work.
I use the long spoon all the time camping! It’s nice so that you aren’t right on top of your fire when you’re stirring your pot 🔥🏕🔥

Yeah, I use it as well. But not the telescopic one, I just duct tape regular spoon to a long stick.
BACK IN OLD STUDIO!!
8:45 man, I had a lot of those as a kid... I think my dad bought them at a garage sale and I could never figure out what the heck I was supposed to do with them. They confused and enraged me and made me want to go play with sticks! :P
When I was younger, I loved making little telescopic paper tubes. I found a way to give them little tabs that would stick out the top, and I’d color them like a little fire. Then, you pull on the fire and stretch it out, and boom! It’s a little paper candle. I’d give them out to friends and whatnot, good times!
Lost count of how many "that's what she said" moments there are in this.

The sound of those corrugated plastic tubes expanding & contracting was so distinctive & familiar that it trigged some feelings of nostalgia - though I can't recall the exact details, I'm pretty sure my brother had one...
I've seen a telescopic fork in a General Store before, and it was called the, "Freeloading Fork" lol
the telescopic magnet is worth its weight in gold in the crash repair / mechanics industry when you drop a screw, nut or bolt in an engine bay or car's frame etc
The plastic extendable Tomi toys have me entranced.
I used to have a Spider with a piece of rubber similar to the one in the snake tongue, but It worke like a spring. It was connected with a wire to a little squishy balloon, and when you pressed It, It made the spring move, and the spider jumped, scaring people. I loved It. Its amazing how little contraptions can be so fun

It's a nice little treat seeing these videos pop up; and knowing Tim is alive and well 😀
2:00 For me, that is a reality in relation to my Uncle. He always has a telescopic fork on him to play around with. He loves pulling a few pranks and jokes on his nephews XD
This is stretching the meaning of elongated jokes, love it
I got one of those telescopic pens from my faculty when I received my teaching license, it's a pointer!
The epiphany of Tim.....FUN 💚
Tim you are an absolute treasure. Thank you for your wonderful content!
Imagine using the long fork and spoon to steal food from passing waiters.
My father has such a telescopic pen. He told me that it is ment to be used as a pointer for presentations so if you have a big map projected on the screen you can use it to show the audience where you are right now for example.
Ive been awake for 17 hours today and this is the first thing that made me laugh: 3:44

8:50 That popping sound brought back absolutely ancient memories from my childhood.
My dad was a mechanic so we have the telescopic magnet at home! It was super useful for his work and for getting lost metal bits around the house 👍
1:20 - It's not a bit of fun - I have one ! The pen is its second function. It's primary function is being a pocket pointer - for when you're stood in front of a white board, projector screen or whatever and you want to point out specific things to 'class'.
9:10 I LOVE the sound this one makes
Everything can explain how much I love this guy.
We are all here waiting for tim to get old enough that he pulls out an adult toy and be like 'I just found this one and it has the strangest effect'.

I love that big, wooden pole at the end. I want one!
This show always brightens my day. It's so wholesome.
I got like 5 or 6 of these expanding tubes for my son, they are great for making marble tracks. And the sound it makes is just nice.
Thank you youtube, for suggesting this lovely british man. I will listen to him to chill out like Bob Ross.
I remember my grandfather had one of those telescopic magnets when I was younger and my Dad used to buy them as well too. It was really fun to play with
it is all coming together now, Tim was making birthday parties and stuff, and that's why he has so many toys!
What a way to start this friday, we love ya Tim ❤
I am so thankful to have come across this channel. What a delight!
The Japanese toy is what brought me to this channel in the first place, way back when :)
Tim, my man, good sir, i mean this with nothing but respect, but.. thats mustard
That pole version would make for a great practical effect for a Journey to the West movie or show for Sun Wukong's staff.

Extendable metal bow staves are pretty neat. Follows what the wands do.
It’s toy reviews but of toys that we remember playing with, nostalgia reviews? Man I miss being a kid.
does extendable pens are also used for few another purposes. - simplist was a pointer for a chalkboard or other board. tip was typically white. - My dad used to use them at a gas utility company to light pilots. the entire staff used them too. you take the pen ink/tip insert out. you put a wooden match into the end. you could light the match and reach it into a gas appliance and light the pilot light. keeps your hand away from the burner flame. can also use them to light things like a barbecue grill
@Wyld1one

sometimes they would also take the pen insert out once it was no longer of use and salary alligator clip onto the end. same purpose use a match to light something remotely but not getting your fingers anywhere near the flame
I love the telescopic magnet. I have several. I use them alot to get nuts and bolts out of tight spots while working machinery
9:10 remember plastic straws? 😂

You're amazing work is appreciated!
my face hurts from smiling holy hell
the magic wands are really fascinating
The Paper Yo-Yo is actually a simple variant of a telescopic mechanism, and so is the Japanese sticks toy..
Impressive turn out.
I love how many unusual toys you have
Those last ones changed Everything, I feel so much smarter now that I know how they work!
That telescopic pen was not a novelty item. My dad was a professor years ago, when the highest tech they had was overhead projectors and blackboards, and he always carried a telescopic pointer. He also always carried a pen. This did the job of both with one item!
I never knew I needed a telescopic fork. Thank you tim
Nice Collection.Only thing you forgot in that lot Tim was the telescope itself!
Tim never die...... *good*
