So at the lancashire and yorkshire railways signaling school at victoria station in manchester 231 00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:44,259 They used a model railway because you do not want to practice your signaling 232 00:20:44,980 --> 00:20:46,980 Not an actual railway.

Yeah 351 00:31:12,589 --> 00:31:16,430 Anyway, you can still see the entrance to the necropolis railway if you have a look there 352 00:31:16,509 --> 00:31:21,789 It's flats now, but that is the old entrance to the london necropolis. He said that was a watery. Yeah 353 00:31:22,990 --> 00:31:27,549 Even in death the second-class carriage was a place where nobody wanted to be 354 00:31:32,589 --> 00:31:36,430 What did charles rolls and henry reuss make together 355 00:31:38,910 --> 00:31:40,910 Was it sweet sweet love 356 00:31:41,869 --> 00:31:53,359 They did make something together was that royce's rolls a famous sandwich shop 357 00:31:56,829 --> 00:31:58,829 They make jet engines, don't they? 358 00:31:59,390 --> 00:32:04,670 Yes that they didn't actually make them together think the only thing they made together was money 359 00:32:05,869 --> 00:32:07,150 That's it really 360 00:32:07,150 --> 00:32:13,309 So charles rolls is the one on the left. He was the car dealer and henry reuss who is the one on the right? 361 00:32:13,390 --> 00:32:17,069 He is the one who made them but they didn't make anything together whatsoever 362 00:32:17,230 --> 00:32:20,990 So royce he made all sorts of domestic electrical fittings and dynamos and that kind of thing 363 00:32:21,230 --> 00:32:23,950 And in 1901 he bought a french de coval kind of car 364 00:32:24,029 --> 00:32:28,029 He thought I could make a better car than this and he started to make them 365 00:32:28,349 --> 00:32:34,029 And charles rolls was a car dealer in fulham and he was very impressed with royce's first car 366 00:32:34,589 --> 00:32:37,630 And he agreed to take them all and when you bought a rolls royce 367 00:32:37,869 --> 00:32:39,390 They only provided the chassis 368 00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:44,190 You got the engine and the wheels and the chassis and then you went to a carriage builder and got them to build 369 00:32:44,269 --> 00:32:48,109 The rest of the car for you. I dated someone at once 370 00:32:50,430 --> 00:32:52,430 What sort of automobile did he drive he 371 00:32:53,309 --> 00:32:58,750 He drove a rolls royce phantom and you were like, yeah. Well, my last boyfriend was in the red arrow. I was 372 00:33:00,269 --> 00:33:06,849 So he told me that the upholstery is made out of bull hide not cow hide because cows get stretch marks during pregnancy 373 00:33:07,309 --> 00:33:11,230 So even the cars are sexist not just the drivers. Oh, they can't have that's extraordinary 374 00:33:11,309 --> 00:33:12,829 In fact, they don't make any cars at all now 375 00:33:12,829 --> 00:33:16,029 They stopped making cars in the in the mid 80s and it's now owned by bmw 376 00:33:16,349 --> 00:33:19,470 Roger kippling had a rolls royce phantom and the thing about um 377 00:33:22,589 --> 00:33:24,589 We still know it's you rudyard 378 00:33:26,109 --> 00:33:35,970 That is a ass it does look extraordinary the baby's bottom attached to his chin 379 00:33:39,089 --> 00:33:43,410 So rather famously rolls royce's never breaks down they very occasionally failed to proceed 380 00:33:45,569 --> 00:33:50,210 And in 1932 rudyard kippling had a rolls royce phantom and it failed to proceed and he was in the south of france 381 00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:53,089 And so he phoned the company's paris office and he said, you know 382 00:33:53,410 --> 00:33:56,849 You must send a mechanic and at noon the next day still hadn't heard anything 383 00:33:56,849 --> 00:33:58,849 He was quite cross and he was going to send a complaint 384 00:33:59,009 --> 00:34:03,250 He asked the hotel and the manager replied the gentleman from rolls royce came last night 385 00:34:03,250 --> 00:34:07,009 It was only a minor matter and it turned out the mechanic had come in the middle of the night fixed it 386 00:34:07,009 --> 00:34:10,690 Gone before sunrise and didn't announce it because he didn't want to disturb kippling sleep 387 00:34:10,929 --> 00:34:15,170 They had a principle didn't they that no one would ever see a rolls royce at the side of the road 388 00:34:15,250 --> 00:34:19,489 Yeah down well more than 60 percent of the cars ever made by rolls royce are still roadworthy 389 00:34:19,889 --> 00:34:25,730 And now i'm afraid i'll have to railroad you onto the road to ruin that we call general ignorance fingers on buzzers, please 390 00:34:25,969 --> 00:34:27,409 You got your bell 391 00:34:27,409 --> 00:34:30,210 Uh, what is the most expensive metal on earth? 392 00:34:31,570 --> 00:34:33,730 Yes, I didn't mean to do that. It just went off 393 00:34:37,309 --> 00:34:40,750 The most expensive yes most expensive metal on earth 394 00:34:41,710 --> 00:34:43,710 I don't know 395 00:34:45,389 --> 00:34:47,630 I'm gonna give five points for absolute honesty 396 00:34:49,550 --> 00:34:56,349 It's one of the noble metals, uh, it is incredibly expensive because it is both useful and rare foil 397 00:34:57,070 --> 00:34:59,150 Yes foil is a noble metal 398 00:35:01,889 --> 00:35:08,130 Rhodium is the answer. So for example gold at the moment costs about fifty thousand dollars a kilo platinum is about 399 00:35:08,670 --> 00:35:10,670 27 000 a kilo this costs 400 00:35:10,730 --> 00:35:12,730 350 000 401 00:35:13,150 --> 00:35:18,269 That sounds like something that a rapper would get it's his teeth done in rodeo. Yeah 402 00:35:18,670 --> 00:35:22,590 I mean whether you could or not, I don't know. There's hardly any of it mined in the world. It's so expensive 403 00:35:22,670 --> 00:35:27,469 What's it used in catalytic converters about 80 percent of all rhodium is used in catalytic converters 404 00:35:27,630 --> 00:35:32,429 The amount you'd have in a car. It's the same weight as about a quarter of what a postage stamp weighs 405 00:35:32,750 --> 00:35:36,269 Um, but it adds 70 pounds to the price of your so rather than nicking a car 406 00:35:36,429 --> 00:35:38,510 All I need to do is phrase it open 407 00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:43,230 Go through it and get the rodeo map. That's what people do. Yeah, I have mine stolen 408 00:35:43,630 --> 00:35:46,110 Just for the road catalytic converter out of the car 409 00:35:46,429 --> 00:35:50,750 They pull up with a power tool you go underneath it cut it off and they've gone in two minutes 410 00:35:51,070 --> 00:35:53,070 And you're just driving along 411 00:35:53,949 --> 00:36:04,510 You've parked it you've gone about your business and when you come back your car's going 412 00:36:06,190 --> 00:36:09,710 I think i'm start making them into like rings for weddings and stuff like that 413 00:36:09,869 --> 00:36:14,269 Well, yes darling because it is in jewelry so it's used especially as a plate for white gold 414 00:36:14,349 --> 00:36:17,710 It can give that sort of a reflective surface. So it is using that it's also used in 415 00:36:18,269 --> 00:36:21,150 Heart pacemakers they get nicked all the time as well. Yeah 416 00:36:22,429 --> 00:36:25,309 Going about your business 20 seconds later, they've nicked your pacemaker 417 00:36:26,190 --> 00:36:32,269 But it's it's tiny the average ton of the earth's crust contains about 0.001 grams of rhodium 418 00:36:32,269 --> 00:36:36,269 So that's about the 30th of the weight of a grain of rice in 2018 419 00:36:36,269 --> 00:36:40,429 Only about 22 tons was mined which is the weight of a single anchor for a cruise ship 420 00:36:40,510 --> 00:36:42,429 If you imagine it's used in virtually every car 421 00:36:43,070 --> 00:36:45,469 In the world now and you can see why the price is so high 422 00:36:45,710 --> 00:36:50,269 But it's possibly it's not going to be a great investment because what's going to happen about catalytic converters? 423 00:36:50,750 --> 00:36:53,789 Everyone's going electric. Everybody's going electric. So we won't need them anymore 424 00:36:53,949 --> 00:37:00,909 But here's a really interesting problem with electric cars because they don't make much noise pedestrians cannot hear them coming 425 00:37:01,150 --> 00:37:04,989 So there is a new law that all cars have to make a significant noise 426 00:37:06,670 --> 00:37:11,630 What noise do you think would be a good noise for a car to make dukes of hazard? 427 00:37:14,429 --> 00:37:19,070 I used to live near a strip joint in hackney and they used to drive around with a kind of a board 428 00:37:19,389 --> 00:37:21,469 At the back and it used to be orgasm noises 429 00:37:23,630 --> 00:37:26,190 It's nice they've got a picture of the car you took your driving test 430 00:37:28,429 --> 00:37:33,949 It is a serious problem jaguar made a car that made a noise like a spaceship from a science fiction film 431 00:37:34,030 --> 00:37:36,670 But what happened is is the car approached people from behind they all went 432 00:37:38,190 --> 00:37:46,380 I was in a taxi in dublin once and when uh your man beeped the beep the horn instead of like a beep 433 00:37:46,460 --> 00:37:48,460 It made the sound of horses going 434 00:37:48,699 --> 00:37:54,460 Like that so people didn't jump out of the way. They just sort of looked straight at the car thinking it might be a horse 435 00:37:54,780 --> 00:37:57,579 See, I love this. So what do you think would be a good sound an engine noise? 436 00:37:57,659 --> 00:37:59,099 I imagine on some kind of engine 437 00:37:59,099 --> 00:37:59,579 Yeah 438 00:37:59,579 --> 00:38:04,780 Like they put the sound of camera clicks on phones because people are stupid and they think it doesn't sound well 439 00:38:04,780 --> 00:38:09,019 The camera has to sound like a camera this is a serious issue because if you're going to have electric cars for police 440 00:38:09,659 --> 00:38:13,500 Should they have a noise because sometimes they want to sneak up don't they on a burglar? 441 00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:18,460 So she'd be able to turn it off if it's a police car. So sometimes it can go nanu nanu and sometimes 442 00:38:25,260 --> 00:38:30,460 About burglar alarms and stuff if rather than sort of like, you know 443 00:38:31,980 --> 00:38:36,219 It was just like a child's voice singing ring a ring of roses or something like oh 444 00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:38,940 This is haunted we need to get out of here 445 00:38:39,659 --> 00:38:44,719 The elves tell me making things looks or sound older more naturalistic. They are is called skewer morphism 446 00:38:45,579 --> 00:38:47,739 Making things sound older than sound older than they are 447 00:38:47,739 --> 00:38:51,019 So that that idea of having a sort of an old-fashioned click or uh, you know 448 00:38:51,019 --> 00:38:54,300 When some people have on their smartphone, they have the sound of an old-fashioned telephone ringing 449 00:38:54,380 --> 00:38:57,260 It's like, you know people do wind down the window when really they should 450 00:38:57,739 --> 00:38:59,900 On a car they should do that or like cleaning your teeth 451 00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:05,340 Like that's the mind we've cleaned your teeth, but everyone's got electric toothbrushes now, but this that's yeah 452 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:18,599 I don't have an electric toothbrush, but all the kids want them. They are deafening and very irritating last thing 453 00:39:19,159 --> 00:39:21,159 Why is the car? 454 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,199 Totally silent. Yes, the tiny little toothbrush gave me 455 00:39:28,619 --> 00:39:30,619 That's a question for the ages 456 00:39:31,900 --> 00:39:39,340 Right moving on these matches work thanks to a chemical reaction, which I'm sure you know involves 457 00:39:40,039 --> 00:39:43,840 Phosphorus, but can you tell me where the phosphorus is? 458 00:39:45,099 --> 00:39:49,179 Well, I've presumed it's in the colored tip at the end, but is it on the scratchy plate? 459 00:39:49,579 --> 00:39:51,579 Are they normal size matches or are they? 460 00:40:00,329 --> 00:40:03,289 So these are safety matches and the phosphorus is actually on the side of the box 461 00:40:03,289 --> 00:40:08,650 It also has some powdered glass in this strip and it's the friction when the match strikes right then you were right 462 00:40:09,289 --> 00:40:14,730 Anybody know how you might make phosphorus, which is of course the really flammable bit two twigs and dryness 463 00:40:15,449 --> 00:40:17,449 Uh, no, just boil urine 464 00:40:17,769 --> 00:40:22,250 Of course, yeah, but don't because it'll set fire if you boil urine it'll set fire 465 00:40:22,329 --> 00:40:27,230 Well, it'll boil it down to the phosphorus and then that's how it was discovered from someone who had bad cystitis 466 00:40:30,349 --> 00:40:34,349 It was discovered in 1669 by a german chemist who was boiling up some urine 467 00:40:34,429 --> 00:40:39,409 Why but he was an alchemist and he wanted to see what happened.
