James May steps into the US Air Force's deadly vacuum chamber with only his spacesuit to keep him alive. This is a channel from BBC Studios who help fund new BBC programmes. Service information and feedback: www.bbcstudios...
*+Steven Parr* Well howdee there partner. And it appears there's as many idiots here as he gets in the comments. It's like all those idiots that believed in 'intelligent design' have gone over to the 'flat Earth' now.
+1. Trouble is, the Flerfers won't agree that this satisfies the issue that SciManDan raised, because they will get technical and say that James May was wearing a FLIGHT suit rather than a SPACE suit......
the glove inflates because it has a fixed internal pressure, which becomes significantly higher in comparison to the outsde air, so it expands to compensate. the water boils because pressure raises the amount of energy needed to boil, so less pressure energy means less heat energy needed. most things boil at extremely low temperatures, but pressure changes that. so it really makes perfect sense.
Why so nervous on old old exploit? On December 14, 1966, NASA spacesuit technician and test subject Jim LeBlanc found out. Suited up in an early Moon suit prototype, he entered a triple-doored vacuum chamber. Then, his pressurization hose somehow became disconnected and LeBlanc became the only person to survive near-vacuum pressures when his suit dropped from 3.8 psi to 0.1 psi in 10 seconds. Believe that was the last human testing NASA did, on Earth....
Why didn't they extremely cool and heat the room to moon or space temperatures? That's more of a realistic test. Not to mention this is simulating only high altitudes, not space vacuum.
mevisface what kind of idiot are you? You just in your own comment answered your own stupid question. Why didn't they? Because that wasn't what they were simulating.
RedFox - you mean leaking warrior. Rumour has it that leaking warrior did approach the US Air Force to obtain one of their 'urine collection devices' so that he could avoid future embarrassment during his live streams. The USAF advised that it is a 'one size fits all' and that it could be trimmed for larger gentlemen. Following up on leaking warrior's next query, USAF also advised against tightly wrapping duct tape around an untrimmed device to hold it on.
@@ooRobertoo Two of the guys in the "vacuum" aren't wearing "space suits". Anyone who isn't completely brainwashed can see this fact at 42 seconds. . .
Praying works - or so some in New Zealand claim. Of course, everyone knows that New Zealand doesn't really exist. /sarc. I also came because of SciManDan. It is hilarious (or else frightening) that these arguments still get whirled around no matter how often they are debunked. However, Noah's ark has a buzzfeed video (as does the flat earth) and the ark is one of the easiest fables to destroy.
I would never go into a vacuum chamber with nothing but a face mask like those two military men. That seems like the worse idea ever. Their blood would've boiled if this were real. Their eyes would've also looked a lot like the eyes of Arnold in Total Recall when he was exposed to a near vacuum.
If you do a little research, you will find that different gear is needed at different altitudes (lower levels of atmospheric pressure). Up to 10,000 feet, (10 psi), nothing is needed. From between 10,000 feet and 33,000 feet (3.3 psi) you need to breath oxygen rich air under pressure (the face masks). Higher than that up to 49,000 feet (1.6 psi) you need a pressure suit because you're lungs wouldn't work. Above 62,000 feet (0.7 psi) you get the boiling of bodily fluids. The video doesn't show it well, but the two airmen are in the main chamber until about the 30,000 foot, (5 psi) point, then they go into a side chamber and seal the door and stay at that pressure so that they can re-enter the main chamber much quicker than if it had to be repressurised from 14.7 psi atmospheric pressure.

"We would go to the moon in a nano second, but the problem is, we don't have the technology to do that anymore. We used to, but we... uhhhh.... destroyed that technology and, oh, it's a painful process to build it back again."
Wait maybe im seeing this wrong but, the man in there with him when the lady closes the door does not have on the same head gear as the guy sitting down. Is that safe? 🤔
they were in a side room that is kept at 20-30k instead of increasing with the rest of the chamber they are there incase of an emergency so they dont have to wait for the entire room to return to normal pressure.
preciousinfinity because it behaved according to the vast understanding of physics perfectly. The only thing here that's fake is your limited understand of physics. You have ZERO understanding of physics. You're 💯% N.E.ET.

😂 Can anyone explain why a puff of air shot out of that bottle? If they were gradually reducing the pressure, the water would have come to a boil similar to heating on a stove. They shot air in that bottle. Opened a valve and pressure shot through the bottle. They then adjusted the pressure to simulate a boil.
@@sH-ed5yf I’m fully aware of what steam is. You obviously don’t understand the point I have made. Try to recreate the effect you see in this video with either heat or a vacuum chamber. You can’t. This is not how water comes to a boil.
@@what8567 absolutly. Search for vacuum chamber water or water bottle. Dozens of videos showing the water beginning to boil and sometimes shouting out violently when the pressure gets to high. Easy explanation. Why is it that you guys want this to be fake so badly
@@what8567don’t worry about these people, they’re not looking for truth. They’re just gonna move the goal post every time they find a hole in their script
If you think about it it’s completely right that it did that. Comparing it to boiling water on a stove is wrong because on a stove not all the water is being heated simultaneously to boiling point, only the water at the bottom close to the heat source is actually boiling. In a vacuum on the other hand all the water is almost at the same pressure in such a small container and thus all the water starts boiling at the same time (being that the boiling pressure at a certain temperature is one) creating a lot of bubbles (created by the pressure from the steam that gets generated) that makes some of the water fly out. (results can vary a bit depending on how quick the depressurization is just because earths gravity still creates slight differences in pressure between the bottom and the top of the container, and results from other similar experiments can also look less dramatic if the opening of the container is bigger allowing the steam to dissipate better) If you go watch other experiments of this kinds you will notice how different results can seem just because there are these variables, I’m sure you can also find videos that are extremely close to what happened here; if not you can always try these things yourself, just get a quick decompressing vacuum chamber and a narrow necked container.
@@michaelbrewer2443 was this trying to prove a a globe? you probably interpret a clown standing on a car as someone trying to prove a globe. and it also doesnt prove that a vacuum can only be contained by a physical barrier.

I love how he thinks he's important enough that it must be proven to him personally. Always telling people to do their own research though. Build your own vacuum chamber and space suit, dipshit!
The suit should inflate like the glove. It doesn't. Two options: 1. Suit is magic and second law of thermodynamics doesn't apply to it. 2. TV is trying to deceive you. (It is not option 1) The glove being attached the way it is in the corner is highly suspicious. Just use a regular rubber balloon and let it move arround freely while inflating.
@@MrSarcasm101 You can see there is at least 1 guy in there in normal jet suit and helmet... the helmet in the window is a giveawy.. And it appears they close the door with 2 in there. And they only get to the pressure at 70k feet (from what they say... if they went "higher" they didn't mention it). Not a vacuum.
Very sketchy video. Put a frog in there with him to prove it is a vacuum. Also have him play golf and carry out some functional tests. The kind of motions required to perform a space walk and related space station repairs. Or play golf on the moon. Anyone can inflate a glove and create a vacuum in a water bottle. That doesn't mean the entire chamber was depressurized.
If he was in a full suit to be safe, im curious as to why the guys without a full suit and just oxygen masks body handled this with the blood boiling in their eyes. Someone please inform me..
They are in an antechamber at a different pressure. They are there to assist if anything goes wrong without having to wait for full pressure equilibrium
@@mumenrider862 aah, you’re a pancakian. That explains it. Well, good luck on your important work making a working map of Pancakia, getting a slice of dome to examine and informing airline, ship and spacecraft crews on how their navigation never actually works. 🤡
@@mumenrider862 Is it: -Standard procedure of professionals in oxygen masks staying in the antechamber next door, so they can quickly jump in in case of emergency. or -2 men went into the chamber with oxygen masks for no reason, accidentally stayed in for too long while they were faking the glove expanding, and nobody noticed during filming and cutting the footage. Wow, so difficult to say which makes more. Who could possibly tell. Oh I know, it has to be staged, because you don't understand basic physics and think space suits can't work.

@@paulzuk1468 James needs the "space" suit but the pilots are not needed it to survive in the vacuum chamber . Wake up please. Hahahaa omg how stupid test.
@@tomihedman They didn't need it to survive until the altitude got unsurvivable without one, at which point they retreated into a side chamber that was kept at the maximum survivable simulated altitude.

It is the same if the pilots are standing outside because they cannot help him if something goes wrong. C`mon give me a break.

@@tomihedman [So you mean that inside of that vacuum chamber is another not so vacuum chamber, what is a point of it? It is the same if the pilots are standing outside because they cannot help him if something goes wrong.] They absolutely can help him (and they're airmen, not pilots). It takes much less time to repressurize from 70 000 feet down to 35 000, so the airmen would be able to enter the main chamber way sooner and potentially save his life. [C`mon give me a break. Just BS the hole experiment with 30 times cut off with camera is filming him.Why the didint film the boiled pot at the time when it started to boil , i mean the hole pot, what was under it, the heating source??] Probably because it was a segment shot for a silly British car show, and was utterly unconcerned with proving anything to space hoaxers who'd just call it "fake" anyways, no matter what they did? :P
NO view of The suit getting pressurized and The SOLDIERS just had AIR MASKS. LOL. THE BALLON WAS FILLED FROM OUTSIDE AND THE BOILING WATER WERE COOKED. GEE WHAT A BAD TRICK
Notice that the surgical glove pops. This happens because the glove reaches it's failure point while there is still an amount of air in the vacuum chamber.
Godless Shill...nulian... Funny that i did not se how much air there where in the glove from the beginning. In a famous Nasa way camera angles changed rapidly. Not the cience way. And nulian means that the popping sound is coming thru the metal pipe. But that is not how it works. First of all is the glove not sourunding the pipe. There use to be air, but now its nothing. Nock on the pipe and sound will travel, talk inside a pipe and sound will travel. But talk next to a pipe wont do any sound in the other end. NOT even with air. And that waterbottle started to boil at 110% and then dropped to 100% . My guess is that that was just done for the camera and they wanted a effectfull demonstration to misslead the fake vacuum.
[CleverUsername] At 0,49 min to the right side of the glove is still someone else inside the chamber.With only a helmet and oxygen mask. Perhaps its when he leaves the chambe the glove popps? Or perhaps he is the one with a needle?

He says that at 1:40, they are simulating a "catastrophic pressure drop", but it looks as though they are repressurising, because: 1. The pressure change is instant: normally depressurisation takes awhile, because the vacuum pumps can only work so fast. 2. Water vapour appears in the air: boils during depressurisation, but it did the opposite. However, it looks as though his suit inflates rapidly, which would be true for rapid depressurisation. Hmmm, I'm dumbfounded, anyone have any ideas?
i do, they did in fact drop the pressure, however they didnt hook the chamber up to a vacuum pump but rather a reservoir where the air has been pumped out of. the visible formation of watervapor is confirming the drop in pressure
@@bythedog - Because the chamber replicates flight conditions the sudden pressure drop simulates losing the canopy at altitude which would be a loss of pressurization
So how are the two other men in the vacuum chamber who are wearing nothing but flight suits able to stand and move freely inside the same vacuum chamber room without helmets to protect their eyeball from "boiling"??? TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE TO THE FACT YOU ARE BEING LIED TO. You have my word that yes truths always hurt badly at first but they get easier to take and tell with practice. When you practice /learning/speaking of truth you become truely powerful.
How are there 2 guys in there without a suit??? 🤣🤣🤣 how people fall for this level of deception is amazing. When they first started the vacuum, u could see the guy standing next to with him zero suit on, and after they opened the vacuum, the 3 of them were in there. People are so stupid
So many people in the comments section arguing from ignorance. I am not an expert but I can check the facts and see that this is not a hoax. It seems like people just watched it and said must be fake and then tried to find ANYTHING that confirmed their bias instead of actually checking the facts. Checking does take time though, it would have taken me about an estimated 36 hours of research to understand most of the things happening in the video; based on the extrapolation of how long it took me to learn about and figure out the basic maths behind how sound waves propagate through a fluid medium.
@@jackpotsearlytapes The were not actually in the main chamber with him, but rather in a partially depressurized antechamber between him and the outside.

Has anyone seen in youtube a 55 gallon drum heated to remove most of the air inside it (not exactly vacuum) then cooled by hosing water on it. The drum implode violently. That's what happens when there is no opposing force to 14.7psi. That's what would happen in the opposite direction of a man in space suit in total vacuum especially for some extended time.
Thank GOD he has 3 X MEN in the chamber with him. They have super human eyeballs that somehow don't blow up and their skin and eyes don't boil. Oh wait,the sunglasses must be super tech.

@@somafiles @2:04 there is clearly a doorway between the small room where James May is sitting and the rest of the chamber. One guy with a helmet in each room. How is this video problematic again?
Anyway, I cannot see if no gas is blown into the balloon with that pipe or not and if there is nothing attached to the water bottle which could make it bubbly.
It's literally not a vacuum chamber. but if you want proof, check out Dave Weiss. Hundreds and hundreds of interviews on youtube. All shadowbanned, but you can find them if you want to.
beepandpop... Pure water at sea level boils at 100 degrees celsius. As you go up the pressure in our atmosphere reduces, the lower the pressure the lower the temperature that water boils. At the top of everest water boils at about 70 degrees. The only way to increase the temperature is to put it under pressure. So take a pressure cooker with you...
the ballon was attached to a hose and the boil was fake i have seen depressurization videos and the water doesn't explode. nice try but where is the actual testing videos to see how they move around and work.
Sci Man Dan brought me here and I am not saying this is fake, but if James May needs a space suit and helmet, then what are the two Air Force crewmen wearing?
It's not a vacuum yet. Pay closer attention to the video editing. There's nobody else in the chamber while it's actually a vacuum. You'll probably point to the helmet ... which is an empty helmet on the counter. Or the close up of the balloon when they said it was expanding? Again, misleading video editing. It appears that they just used a close up shot from before the test, taken from inside the chamber, to represent it expanding.
@@mikerey2449 Oh for fuck sake...I'll try to make this simple... because the chamber is at a low atmosphere. At around 10k+ feet you need oxygen. In the upper 40s (49k) you need a pressure suit. It is essentially a double chamber. The soldiers move out and into the outer chamber after they have tested everything to make sure May is sealed up correctly. Now stop repeating dumbshit you heard on flat earth videos and learn to think for yourself.
The soldiers are not in the chamber itself they are in a separate but connected partially depressurized antechamber the reason for this is in case the person in the main chamber requires medical attention the main chamber doesn't have to be fully repressurized before gaining access saving valuable time
@beepandbop water can boil at high temperature or at low pressure. The only difference is, at high temperature, it's hot, and at low pressure it's cold. at high temp, the particles of a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the intermolecular attraction that hold them together. At low pressure, the intermolecular attraction isn't so great, so the particles can break free just the same (at low temp) it's a balancing act between temp and pressure. for boling: HT & LP or LT & HP
Why did the bottle seam to explode with pressure, very quickly? It should have came to a nice simmer then a light boil then a rolling boil. It was staged
SciManDan isn't very observant, is he? At 0:39, Sgt. Jacobs and Sgt. Johnson are closed into the vacuum chamber without space helmets or spacesuits along with James May. Then at 0:49, we can see Sgt. Johnson is STILL in the chamber when the rubber glove is half inflated. Ain't science wonderful?
+Fred. You clearly dont understand editing do you... There were more than one test. One of them with partial vacuum to check if there were no leaks or similar, I presume, therefor needing people to check. In a partial vacuum (aka not vacuum) you dont need a space suit. You really think they went from, walk inside to "lets see if hes lungs burst" test without actually checking if the suit had leaks or similar... LoL, what did you say? "not very observant".... oh irony.
Oh, it was obviously edited alright, Lobos. That's what Hollywood does. But two men with no eye protection are not going to go inside that vacuum chamber "to test May's suit in a partial vacuum" with him with just enough suction so that the glove is half blown up from the lack of air pressure. I don't think so. And I don't think you or anyone else in their right mind would volunteer to do that. Nor do I believe that would be part of a standard protocol. That glove was hooked to an air hose. Hollywood does that too. That's show business.

Fred Caldwell There is a chamber within the chamber that is kept at a lower vacuum than the test chamber so they could reenter sooner (as it's being repressurized) in case of emergency.

Water at ambient temperature starts boiling around 400 mmHg. It is half way to full vacuum. This is the vacuum condition reached in the room, and it is still possible hear sounds. This is a condition that can already damage human body, therefore the test is still interesting. However, they apparently stop the test pretty far (half way) from full vacuum condition like in space. The test should have been completed at least down to 2 - 3 mmHg which means the deepest vacuum possible on earth using vacuum pumps like in this test. Probably was too dangerous.
