The actual pressure section of the video is so dramatic, feels like something from a movie or something lol. Like watching the glowsticks start to break as a sub is leaking water under the ocean.
Really entertaining and what's even better is that you usually learn something in the process. Apart from that, after all the interesting things that have already been in the chamber (polystyrene cups, eggs, glow sticks etc.) I would be interested to see how a piece of normal wood behaves. So a lightwood type like balsa, a softwood type like pine or fir and a hardwood type like beech or oak.
It would be good to add painted wood (or even wood in a vacuum bag) so that we can see how it holds up structurally, without the water getting in and limiting the compression.
I love how the ampule cracking gets more and more violent the higher the pressure. I was secretly hoping to see them start splitting open and spraying everywhere. But I knew it was doubtful because of their construction. Those things are next to indestructible to everything except slicing/piercing.
I feel like a channel that does experiments like this deserves more attention and subscribers. More people may watch and like the video more with background music added, even if its very very quiet compared to speech.
We used them in our shot line projeciles back in the day. A Cyalume rep came aboard and saw the trouble we were having with battery powered liights when we shot messengers to the ships that came along side.
Probably because this channel is just under a year old and competing with more established science channels. I'd say this channel doing pretty good subscriber wise.
@@Tuck-Shop I think this channel is a blend between Veritasium and Hydraulic Press Channel with a bit of humor to keep it light. You have to balance out the KFC with some coleslaw. Time will tell if this concept works...
@13:33 - Bro, you made me spit tea out of my mouth. "It's The Asian Way" I didn't realize that you have a wicked sense of humor tinged with a dry delivery. Very nice combination. Like Dr. Grande!
I am reminded of one of the closing scenes in "The Aybss" where the main character has to activate a giant glow stick. I think he was at that point over 15,000 or maybe even 20,000ft using a liquid breathing suit but I could see a oil company being able to afford specialized emergency glow sticks that can survive at those depths and not go off prematurely.
The dichotomy between the wildly over the top duel of fates remix that is far too epic for what's happening on screen and the science content that's way more epic than its monotone delivery is exquisite. (I love the monotone delivery btw, it makes your fantastic wit hit that much harder)
Very cool! I so appreciate the scientific explanations combined with the historical background and practical application to how glow sticks have been, and still are used. Great video!
When I saw the title I remembered I have a bunch of glowsticks in a drawer, turned off the lights and cracked a few and it was actually really cool to watch this video in their ambience!
Another nice vid! I've got to admit, that I have been thinking alot about (sports related) balls, ever since the superbowl edition video. It would be cool to see different kinds of balls under pressure, like a golfball and tennisballs etc.
5:51 Your fun fact about original Star Wars trilogy and glow sticks is incorrect, they used reflective tape on a spinning rod that’s powered by a motor inside the hilt, the stage lights behind the camera shone its light and the camera picks up the reflectiveness, its also why the lightsaber flickers during the obi wan kenobi fight with Vader on the Death Star From a massive Star Wars fan
They used a rotating pole with reflective tape for most of the shots. For the close up shots with the light bouncing off the faces they used glowing rods.
The midnight rave got me good. Regarding the fun fact, im not sure what triology you are talking about but if you meant the first with the jung Luke and not the green milk drinking one: They used highly reflective screens and wrapped it around tubes, then shined the bright studio lights on them. Practical special effects. So much ingenuity.
@TheDropzoneChannel Thanks for doing the glow sticks. They were awesome i loved them jumping around .Gotta say i thought they would crack and glow then pop and go out with the pressure. Im impressed 👍
Great and interesting:-) Maybe you can simulate something even deeper by pressurizing the item before putting in the tank? If possible, add 100 bar to something.
Another fun Star Wars fact… Any light emitting device , like glowsticks (military “chemlites”) is referred to as a “LUMA” in most of the books. Tablets are “Datapads.” I often throw people with the terminology, and it gets to be quite fun!
I know a guy who knows a guy who used glow sticks (“chem lights”) in their mouths to crawl through the intricate tunnel systems during the Vietnam war. Hands had to be free so the on/off switch was opening/closing one’s mouth
Do they get brighter as the pressure increases? It doesn't look like it in the video, but, the camera could be compensating for the change in luminosity.
@0:18 - Wait, aren't you the guy that introduced me to oil filled watches and brilliantly demonstrated that with a pressure chamber. The video where the clicking and cracking of the watch tripped me our so much?? Dude, you have managed to capture my watch time when I have no specific interest in your content. That must be something pretty rare in YT terms. I may even look in to subscribing after I finish this video.
I used to use these while longline fishing. We were only in about 400 fathoms at the deepest. (2400 feet) This is most interesting. So, I take “unsnapped” glowsticks, tie a bunch of them to a rock or some weight, and toss them into the ocean where it’s better than 3000 feet deep, and I get to entertain sea creatures down there…. Cool!
What about wood. Does wood become a sponge and soft ? Because they use something like a pressure cooker to make the wood twistable to make cart wheels for horses. But with out heat does it work ?
Where did you get the idea of the light sabers being glowsticks? In the OT they were spinning wooden dowels with reflective tape on them that produced a glowing effect on camera. In the PT they were basically the same thing using different sturdier materials. In the ST abominations they were made with reinforced electrically lighted rods to have the sabers cast light onto the wielders.
Off topic, but have you thought about doing your own research into what happened to the Titan submersible? We’ve seen the computer simulations and expert analysis. Would your pressure take be able to show what might have happened if a similarly designed and smaller scale model gives a more accurate representation?
Any idea what the pressure would be at the deepest known shipwreck? The USS Samuel B Roberts lies at 22,621 feet, I was curious what the pressure would be down that far.
