I can't tell you enough how grateful, humbled, and just mind-blown I am that you put together such a detailed and thoughtful series of videos for all of the world to enjoy for free. What really got me was the free companion book! I mean, not only did you faithfully recreate, update, and annotate this entire lecture to the last detail, but you wrote it all out in a book and gave it all to us for nothing. What a wonderful gift this all is! You are a selfless youtube god-among-men, not only for willingly giving so much of your time and effort, but for being so incredibly thorough, painstaking and passionate about all of it...for us! It's like asking a friend to borrow his tent for a camping trip, and the friend brings over his truck full of all the camping gear he has that you might need, and firewood, and an updated trail map he made himself, and pages of well-written instructions on how to set it all up and use it. And he lets you borrow the truck and sends you away with a pat on the back and a box of Cliff bars! I feel like you're really doing this simply for the sake of education, out of a passionate desire to educate -- not for views, not for profit, not for accolades. ...And not to mention your million other insanely meticulous, carefully written, amazingly executed videos on such intricate and detailed stuff, for which I am also eternally grateful!! This all sounds like hyperbole, but it's really not. Your efforts do not go unappreciated. Thank you, Bill Hammack.

Series of videos and pdfs on how candles burn released without intention to earn? Some men just want to watch the world learn. This is the type of man that silently makes the world turn.

Making this so readily accessible entirely for free is a genuine service genuinely appreciated.

This is amazing and thank you for providing the materials FREE. This is what science outreach is all about.

This represents a phenomenal amount of work, Bill. My gob is soundly smacked; my flabber thoroughly gasted. Well done to you and your team - thank you so much for this.

This series is absolutely amazing. I think its great how Faraday's lectures not only teach how a candle works, but also how scientists observe a phenomena, try to think about what causes it, and then find a way to prove their hypothesis. It's also instructive in the sense that it shows how scientists can better convey their knowledge to other audiences, which is often poorly done.

Just FYI: you would get better traction on video series like this if you released each video on a different day. People are much less likely to go back in their subs to finish a series like this, but if they just get one video per day then it is easy to consume.

I think you're referring to the mechanical computer, which released a week apart. There must be a happy medium. You've lost (net) 3,000 subscribers today, which sucks considering all the hard work. I think it's mostly a knee jerk reaction to blowing up subscription pages, not the content or quality. I'll leave it at that. I just finished the series and really enjoyed it. Thanks and keep it up with the great work.

Spreading scientific knowledge just to spread scientific knowledge. This is a great gift to society.

Oh my lord engineerguy you are too good for us.

This is amazing. And to provide this for free makes you, and everyone who helped make this, a great contributor to society. Thank you, sincerely.

Engineerguy, if you've lost some subscribers in the last day or two, please don't attribute it to anything you did. Since a day or two ago, many if not most KZreadrs have been inexplicably losing subscribers. KZread has acknowledged this and says it's looking into the cause. Thanks for this new series and all that you do. -- a grateful viewer

Bill - you and the team are to be commended for producing such a lovely series of lectures as these. I have sat and watched them all, commentary versions as well, and have been enthralled at each turn. Wonderful piece of work. Bravo and thank you for helping to keep science and engineering accessible, understandable and entertaining.

You all have really outdone yourselves. This is an amazing service you are providing to the community. The astounding thing is that it is completely free. Truly, thank you for your hard work. I will share this book and video series with all of the parents in our family's homeschool group.

Engineerguy, I'd like to thank you and your team for doing this. We're all extremely grateful for you taking your time to create this for us.

Yay! When I read Faraday's book I thought, "This would make a wonderful video series," but I couldn't find anything then. This is what I've been hoping for! Thanks you!

This channel is one of the few on KZread that does things right.

Bill, your videos are so interesting! I just discovered your channel a few hours ago, and I have been sitting here binging on them. Keep up the good work! Oh, and I love the fact that there are no ads!

Thank you so much for showing us all of this that looks like you put all your hard work into, and teaching us in such a simple but effective way!

Bill you and all the people who worked on this are awesome. Thank you some much for giving knowledge.

The level of detail and quality in these videos is epic thanks for the truly steller content!

Thank you! Specially for the captions becouse not everybody speaks fluently english. The best work is made for free. Greetings from Chile!

you are one of my favourite content producers on youtube! As an engineer i also love how you explain things you provide such a great reasource for the world! Thanks for opening my eyes to the wounders of everyday objects!

Bill, I love you. Please don't ever stop. Thank you.

The world is in desperate need of more people like Bill.

I'll be sure to watch these! Thanks as always for the terrific, high-quality content, Bill & Team!

My sincerest thanks to your team for producing this series. I hope your pride in your achievement equals my admiration for this beautiful lecture.

I found your channel in my KZread recommendations. It was one of the best things to have happened to me in a while. No kidding. Your content is a goldmine!

I am just blown away by you! Such high quality, all for free, so much... wisdom and skill, packed into words and examples easy to understand. Just to teach others and help to gain knowledge! thank you!

Bill I just discovered your channel and I gotta say you are a gift to humanity. Thank you for making these videos. Do you accept donations or have products for sale? I like putting my treasure where my heart lies so let me know if there's something of the sort.

Tremendous! I'd seen little blurbs about just how interesting the candle is but hand't gotten around to reading the Faraday lecture. This series is phenomenal and I'm so excited to share with my class and colleagues!

you really are a good man. I appreciate everything you do Bill.

I think the amount of work and dedication of these videos has been obscured by a simple channel decision of uploading all of them at the same time. It really dosen't matter if they are released in a day or a month, what matters is the content, the work and dedication, the passion and the time that is invested in this kind of work, I mean, they have a commentary video that will guide you trough the lectures if you are not versed into science (that's awesome) and to top it all, they are FREE, I don't get how people can complain about it. I want to note that this is a masterpiece the likes of which are rarely seen in youtube (not even big channels like Vsauce or Veritasium release this kind of content, although they come close). I love this series and genuinely appreciate the work you and your team did here, I also regret you have so little subscribers. All in all I'd say keep up the good work!!

Bill, you and your team do great work. As a fellow ChemE, I applaud your work to educate the general population and stimulate interest in our field. Technically accurate, interesting, and engaging. Keep up the good work.

I've been holding back on this series because I wanted to save it for last. I'm a new viewer and I just finished all the other videos you have up. Fantastic work. Truly amazing. Glad i stumbled upon you.

You, sir, are an incredible and upstanding human being. Thank you for what you do, your ambitions, and your dedication to propagating knowledge and wisdom.

The world needs more people like you.

This channel is so important. Thank you.

Thank you so much for all you and your coworker's hard work!

Shared! This is truly an awesome project. Thank you for producing great videos and inspiring those who love learning!!

You go above and beyond. Fantastic content as always, thank you for your effort and hard work!

This is great. I'm looking forward to it. Thank you!

Thanks Bill! Can't wait to get through all of these videos

I subbed to the channel shortly after the music box video and i have been waiting for a new vid. I am truly astonished by the amount of work you have put in here. Its so good to see projects like this with so much extra content to stream line peoples learning and understanding. Thank you so much for your efforts and hard work.

Wonderful and Fascinating. Thank you, MR. Hammack.

Hey Engineerguy, thanks for the awesome videos as always. I hate to see all the flak in the comments about people thinking they know how a channel should be run. But yeah, once again, thanks for the FREE and awesome content you guys released. I absolutely love this channel and what it brings.

Thank you for the amazing content! Keep up the good work

Bill, I am so glad to have the help educating my children. This book is one that we'll be studying in a few months and it's nice that you'll be in the classroom teaching us with your amazing videos and study guide. I can't wait. Thank you for your time in creating these videos and guides and thank you for your generosity in making them available for free. Stephani

Thanks. I really appreciate this !

Still watching this. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your hard work!

Did anyone else come here because it is recommended by Ambleside Online homeschool curriculum? I imagine you will get many ongoing views from homeschoolers for this series. Thank you very much!

Best engineering vids on KZread!!

You and your team do a great service to KZread, your voice is also very soothing :P Thank you.

Thank you kind sir. You are awesome!!

All this work, and giving it away for free? I seriously love you guys!

I love you Bill Hammack

I enjoyed the videos, I prefer them being released all at once.

Man, awesome videos, if such great content would to be shown for everyone at the beginning of their education a lot more students would learn to love science! I can see this series being dubbed in other languages and shown on tv! great work guys!

Wonderful videos. Faraday's book is one of my all time favorite science books. Another that is just as approachable is One, Two, Three, Infinity.

This looks awesome. Looking forward to watching these; hopefully I have time tomorrow.

Cool! That's what I gonna view this evening! Thank you.

You can have all the videos unlisted and make them public one by one, with links to all the videos in the description. That way people don't get overwhelmed sub boxes AND people who don't want to wait can just watch the unlisted videos using the link in the bar. Both sides get what they want. :) Thank you for all the hard work you put in!

Bill you are the David Attenborough of the Engineering world thank you.

IMO all vids at once makes retention easier, Since I'm fresher in memory going directly from 1 vid to another, as opposed to waiting (and forgetting) between each section.

I love your videos, always great stuff. But I was surprised when I heard the name "Don DeCoste." He was my high school chemistry teacher in Bakersfield and one of the best teachers I've ever had. His class really nurtured my love of science and engineering. Thanks, to both of you!

OK, who is the moran who disliked this video?!! I mean the channel is called engineerguy, what do you expect to watch and what is it to dislike about it. thanks alot Bill great videos, and also thanks for the book

Two things have always made me wonder further about my field: the candle and a bubble. Lovely series! Only, slow down a mite. We're not all from "up North" (I am).

Before I got even halfway through the first paragraph of the preface, I realized I was hearing the words in my head in Bill's voice. Anyone else experience this?
