This is a video of an upstairs bathroom that’s been sealed being quickly filled with water via a fire hose until it decides it just can’t take it anymore and collapses into the living room below. I’m not sure what, if anything, we were supposed to learn from this experiment
In I’m pretty sure I remember a Mythbusters episode about this news, this is a video of The Action Lab half-heartedly experimenting to see if a swimmer (read: wind-up turtle toy) can swim just as fast in syrup as in water. The idea is that although syrup is more viscous,
In sweet jeans news, this is a video of Yotuber Mad Russian Scientist demonstrating the fastest way to empty a narrow-necked liquid filled container without cutting in half with a ninja sword or smashing it with a hammer — by swirling the bottle first to create a vortex inside. This
This is a video of Youtuber The Q building a chair based on tensegrity (aka floating structural compression, links to Wikipedia) that’s large and strong enough to support the weight of a relatively lightweight adult human and a Coca-Cola can. Now I read the Wikipedia article I linked to above
This is a short video demonstrating Newton’s first law with dirt on a tennis racket. What is Newton’s first law? “Newton’s first law is you don’t talk about Newton’s first law.” Very good, I’m glad to see at least somebody payed attention in science class. Visualization of Newton's first law
This is a video of a Boeing 747 departing from Anchorage, Alaska and producing some insane condensation in the process. It almost looks like a smoke screen. Of course anybody worth their weight in idiotic conspiracy theories and believing everything they read online knows good and well this isn’t actually
This is a video of the Backyard Scientist constructing a device to blow consistent air rings underwater, then pumping oxygen and propane through the system to create flammable GAS rings, then using a homemade underwater cattle prod to ignite those rings and film the results in slow-motion. Heck yeah, underwater
This is another video from Youtuber Soil Cross Sections (previously: the alien movement of a growing pea plant), this time a VERY exciting timelapse of grass growing over the course of 8 days, as constructed from 1,980 individual digital photos. How crazy was that?! “Wow, now where’s the timelapse of
