"Non stop" is a massive overstatement.

"and restart the fountain" .............Non stop fountain....

A non-stop fountain that stops on its own. Marvelous.

The only reason why I watched this was because it's titled "non-stop" which is usually against the laws of physics? Pretty cool none the less but definitely not non-stop.

Title : non stop fountain Guy "when it stops , reset it" Me "hol up , wait a minute...something ain't right"

That is so cool, thank you so much for explaining it also… when you got to filling the water part I thought to my self “oh no I’m gonna have a hard time getting this right” but then when you said “ let’s see how it all works“ I was so excited I really wanted to know how this worked

Hi David, great instructional video. If you wanted a more forceful flow, would you make the bottles wider or the straws or tubing? I am making a small outdoor fountain and wll be drilling through a sculpture of a heron for the water to come out of.

Great video. Made one based on your design. Just a few comments: 1) Get bottles with flat (or nearly flat) bottoms. Don't get the bottles that have the 5 or 6-star bases. It's more difficult to make that top cap airtight 2) Take off the labels before you begin constructing the fountain. I recommend goo gone and vegetable oil to remove all traces of the glue before you begin. 3) Trying to drill through the hard plastic base of the water bottle is difficult and frustrating; it's much easier with a soldering pen to melt open a hole and then you don't need a large hole, just two straw-sized holes to match the holes in the top cap, 4) A better way (IMHO) to splice the straws is with a diagonal cut; the straws can then be connected almost without needing glue, 5) Also use a diagonal cut on the ends of the straws as you thread them through the holes. Makes it a lot easier to pull them through and then once you have the straws threaded, trim to diagonal edge to make them even again. 6) Glue the **** out of that top cap between the seams and the base around the top cap, it's where you'll get the most air leakage. Also, enclose the glue seal in duct tape to add more protection. It has to be completely air tight because any loss of air pressure will cause the fountain to fail. 7) In addition to glue, wrap the middle double cap with duct tape - maybe multiple layered colors for a nice effect. It will make the double cap more firm and stable. 8) Dye the water with food coloring to make a cool fountain and for an even neater effect, fill the reservoir with blue-dyed water and pour in yellow-dyed water. As the colors mix you get a nice shade of green.

It sure is non-stop! (Until it stops, but we don’t talk about that).

Non stop fountain, until our hand get tired 🤭 just kidding, it is a good science experiment.

Heron's Fountain is often used as a simple educational demonstration of fluid dynamics, pressure, and the conservation of energy. However, it's important to note that Heron's Fountain doesn't create a perpetual motion machine or generate more energy than is put into it. The water flow eventually stops due to air entering the system, friction, and the loss of potential energy as water flows downward.

Brilliant, I wish science projects at school had been like this. I would have shown a lot more interest.

Everybody is gangsta till drill showed up

I accidentally read the title as "How to make a non stop heroin fountain." And I almost had a stroke.

Ah , I love the smell of breaking the thermodynamic laws of physics in the morning.

Great projects! Love them! Thank you for sharing!

teacher: why are you laughing? me: nothing my brain: how to make a nonstop heroin fountain

I had a “non stop” flight from California to Florida. We just took a break in Chicago for a couple hours

I love these kinds of video involving science,pretty cool! I loved every bit of it.👏👏👏👏👏

Not only is the fountain totally wonderful, so is your voice! I could listen all day.

"If you're uncomfortable using a drill for the hole, you can use a knife" - that seems a million times worse

RESTART THE non-stop FOUNTAIN 😂😂😂

Cool physics project & educational. Enjoyed watching and plan to build several as gifts

Amazing system! So cool. I wanted to add a system like this in a jar terrarium, with a capacity around 10L. So, my question is, can i reproduce the same system in "tiny" dimensions? I mean, to use much smaller bottles for example. I don't know about physics at all, so I don't know if it matter the size of this "structure" for the water to complete the circuit. If someone can help me I would appreciate it so much. Thank you!!

Not gonna lie, I read the title as "how to make a non stop Heroin Fountain"

If this was “non-stop” it would literally change the world 😂

5:49 And a tip of mine ;-) We make the funnel on the top using a larger bottle and voila 🙂 Great fountain thank you 🙂

Could you rig this so the bottles are next to each other? Because if so you could make a really compact camping sink

For a moment I thought we had a free energy source... until I noticed you had to restart the fountain

at first I was like did this guy just make perpetual motion possible

The perfect idea to create an “electric free” fountains.

Pov: You want to make this into a water bottle to have a conversation starter

I feel so sad when i hear the "to restart the fountain"

I was watching this video very carefully until he said "to restart the fountain"

On a larger scale with a constant water source like a creek or even a natural spring you can make water go up in elevation 10x the drop with a burping check valve. My point is water and pressure and gravity and beating resistance with pressure is pretty cool.

Will the water continue going around if you connect the foundation top blue straw to the middle bottle? Just wondering if the water will keep going around and around

i really thought he made a perpetual device lmao

Me: is it nonstop? Developers; it's business.

Nicely done. And that old timey sounding piano track made it all the more fun.

A perfect pick of art project! Thanks!

A "non stop" fountain that "stops" after each 2 mins... Lmao.

If you could invent anything, what would it be?

too many plastic straws I got flashbacks of turtles being asphyxiated

Dave: Hey Bro Check This fountain out!! *drinks* Dave's Friend: Um, Dave. Why it tastes like glue sometimes? Dave: Uhh, I do not know :D

at the end...... "and re-start the fountain" me: you said non stop do you?

I thought this said “heroin” fountain, and I was very confused

It's great fun watching the video. My son wants to do it for his science project.

forefathers went into war with tanks, rifles and grenades... their sons today: "look at my glue gun"

“If you are uncomfortable using a big drill you can use a knife” I’m loving this 😂🤣

Thumbnail: easy Me starting the video: it's a f*cking tower

So is this a perpetual motion machine? Like can't you put a water wheel to get powered by the falling water from the fountain?

“Pretty cool huh?” The Ogs never forget this line

It is a non stop fountain manually-refilling, actually. Nevertheless, nice video

I read ”heroin”...😰

That fountain will need someone as standby to make it Non-stop

I read: How to Male a Heroin Fountain. I was like I'M IN! Dyslexia sucks.

I clicked because I thought that this was actually forever and would never stop. Was disappointed.

The fountain isn’t necessarily *Non-stop* but it’s still really pretty cool

0:54 Bottle: Ah, I just love being a water botl-AAAAAH STOP VIOLATING ME

Wow, you just created a non stop fountain that can stop!! Amazing😅😂🤣😂😅

I was like "did someone finally create perpetual motion and just put it on youtube?"

"If you feel uncomfortable using a drill you can use a knife" Me: *visible confusion*

Will definitely do this with my kids and just call it a water fountain. Because they'll question the non stop part at the end.

If you glue the bottle top to the bottom of the bottle THEN drill the 2 holes you don't need the big drill bit and if you use a soldering pencil to melt the holes you don't need a drill at all. Use a liter bottle to make the funnel with to give you larger diameter.

I misread this as "how to make a non stop heroin fountain". My bad

“Infinite” FRICTION GO ReEeEeEeEeEeEeEeEe

could this motion continue for an extended time without interference

I'm gonna use this concept and ask my engineer make a fountain inside my lounge area if possible

And to prevent myself from sleeping through the tutorial, I glued my eyes to the screen.

Me watching it thinking "Did he really just create an endless electricity source?"

The cats would LOVE this! LOL

@DaveHax thank you truly for the turorial I finally accomplished it on the 4th try. This was such a long journey, that i was almost crying cause of the accomplishment. So thanx again and i will try another experiment of you. Thanx Peter

Just got mine made. Great experiment. Use small diameter straws or it will be very tight to get them in the caps. Thanks for the fun time.

"If you are not comfortable using a drill use a knife" o_O

"If you're uncomfortable using a drill for the hole, you can explode the last bullet of the Colt Govt 45 in grandpa's drawer."

This is outstanding. Long fountain, doesn't stop any time, cool. This invention could change anything, you did it. Crazy thing about non stop water fountain, you drink it🥤. I like it, kinda bit a hard dandy job right there, but awesome

The music is taking back my days when I am still watching Thomas and Friends

Spoiler: This is no science video. It’s a PSA on the dangers of drills.

Opens the video. Recalls the laws of energy. Quits.

wow a NON-STOP fountain! you just need to restart it each 30 sec xD

I watched half of this clip one year ago , now RU-vid decide to recomend it again😐😂😂

Now all we need to do is scale this up and display it in a popular mall and BOOM!

Not non-stop but its relaxing and amazing!

This is the best, well explained, step by step explanation is best ever found on any of videos I hv come across❤️🙏🙏.

If this fountain was "Non Stop" then it would always be working and no need to restart it.

Great video! Its possible to make a self feeding siphon setup, but what is really happening is that the potential energy of the water is being converted to kinetic energy and then back into potential energy. Of course even this does not run forever as you slowly lose energy in the system due to friction of the liquid moving through the system and due to sound energy (vibrations), however, you can make a self feeding siphon which goes for a long time if you do it just right, but it still wont go forever, this is just a more complex form of that as the energy is being converted from potential to pressure gradient to kinetic back to potential energy again.

Don't tell me u just invented infinite energy ⚡

He: How to make non-stop fountain. Also he: .... and restart the fountain

Hello DAVE. This was really fun and a great science experiment I really enjoy doing this but it was a bit hard to figure out how to seal up the gaps.

As a young gardener, I've never seen anything like this. Awesome👍👍👍👍👍

To really make it nonstop there would have to be another system of some kind that does something with the water at the bottom bottle. This is a really interesting experiment though!

Brilliant! Another garden idea, Wooo Hooo!!!

I actually wanted a non stop fountain of heroin but this is also okay.

Nice science experiment, but misleading with the "non-stop"

The fountain without the flexi straw on top looks more realistic. We just need to use a wider funnel don't we 😉

I remember trying to construct a perpetual fountain as a kid! Dang thought it was original

Dang I was hoping Dave would be breaking the laws of thermodynamics

"To reset it" You had it me at first. Clickbait :)

Non stop... For a second I thought someone managed to break the law of conservation of energy.
