The Devastating Power Of Water | Richard Hammond's Wild Weather | Spark

Ғылым және технология

Richard Hammond investigates the crucial role water plays. Without water, there would be almost no weather: no rain, no snow, no hail, no clouds. So Richard goes in pursuit of water in all its forms. He tries to weigh a cloud, finds out how rain could crush a car, and gets involved in starting an avalanche.

    Hammond wasn't instantly famous. He worked as a radio presenter for BBC until he joined Top Gear in 2002. Already in 2003 (again, not really famous at that time) he also presented the show "Brainiac: Science Abuse". My point is, Richard Hammond has always done science stuff even before he became famous. Not much different from James May i might add. Except James is also very much into doing fiddly stuff.

    Here's a long one - comment that is. Your channel is a new discovery for me. You have a great sense of humour and an attractive character to go along with great content. Thanks for all the vids (many of which I have still to watch). I watched your reaction to your first KZread video and it was both amusing and unsettling. As someone who is about to start uploading vids frequently soon, I can see my awkward stiffness and forced humour/forced everything without even having to look back so it's daunting to expose myself all uninitiated and stuff. Hopefully I'm doing the right thing by moving ahead with my awkwardness and relying on good content and merciful viewers (ya, right) rather than trying to polish my performance before debuting. I feel like it's a bit like polishing a turd at this point anyway if I'm honest :P Anyway, my chanel is about builds and I'm very impressed with your DIY vids - you have some amazing ingenuity and great skills. Your results are seriously impressive. It's also cool that you're so local to me as I'm in the Fraser Valley. All the best!
