The Voice of Kenneth Hickman
Leave a comment23 February, 2012 by ehauke
One has to marvel at the wonder of the internet. A mere 24 hours after my post about Kenneth Hickman, Andrew Davidhazy, who worked with Hickman more than forty years ago, has unearthed and posted to YouTube a 10 minute video of a study of thermal convection in liquids that they made together way back when.
The video is fascinating because, aside from the fact that Hickman himself is briefly visible about 2 minutes in, it provides a detailed description of the Schlieren technique that had been developed in the last century by another one of my Classic Kit heroes, …
I came across Andrea Sella's blog today (I saw him at the Haymarket Theatre Royal with Festival of the Spoken Nerd a few weeks ago, and he was BRILLIANT). I really love this old film demonstrating the Schlieren technique (!) - something I never thought I needed to know, but was fascinating all the same!
