I've always wanted to make it rain. Did you learn something from this video? Let me know what you thought! And also tell me how awkward I looked indoor skydiving!
It basically works by letting each eye see only one of the 2 colored images (for example, through the red lens, you can only see the blue image), and since the we images are slightly different, they work like the eye: both eyes are in different points, so they'll see a very slightly different image of what you're looking at. The 3d glasses work by letting each eye see what it would see if the objects were in 3 dimensions. Therefore, the brain interprets the images as a 3d object.
I love this question. A raindrop shows us how beautifully and surprisingly complex the world around us really is. Our cognition runs on a low resolution filter of the world 24/7. But there is so much more complexity in every little bit of detail. So yeah for raindrops and it's okay to be smart to show us how low resolution our perception of the world really is.
Scientist 1: I'm going to research the shapes of raindrops. Scientist 2: No, you can't. We have more important things to do right now. Scientist 1: I was going to save it for a rainy day.
I also thought that they were lines. Like in minecraft. It kind of makes sense because then they would have the least air recistance so i still don't understand why they are vertically flat... that gives it so much air resistance that it doesn't make sense that they stay in that shape
I don't ever remember being told that raindrops look like that. Anyways, almost all of my teachers have told me school isn't meant to teach you everything you know, it's to teach you how to learn everything you will know
I have a very distinct memory about pancake-shaped drops splitting. They weren't really raindrops: I was on Iguazú Falls on top of a waterfall, and as drops of water went down, you could see from up there how some of them, too big to remain spheres, essentially formed a ring and then multiple smaller drops, all in a split second. My mind was blown when you showed the exact same thing here (except seen from the side).
Indoor skydiving looks like wicked fun, you look like a massive kid in there =P Cool stuff. I saw a slow mo video of a drop of water and the way it kind of spins around on itself is beautiful and how different temperatures at certain altitudes have rain turn into either snow or hail.
A few times over my ~40 years, I've experienced rain that was big. Like really big. Perhaps hail that quickly melted? Drops that bunched together? Of the few times I can recall this happening, it seemed like these big drops were spread further appart. It wasn't like a hard rain that comes in an almost wall. It's big drops, further appart. It's pretty neat really.
0:37: WRONG! If i was asked to draw a raindrop i'd just make a dot because i'm lazy af, but a dot is just a microscopic blob, which means i'd be right😁
Oh my god! This video really helped me a lot! I was doing a class project and we needed to know information like this, and I watched this video and it helped me a lot! Thanks so much! You deserve a sub! :D
I came here because I wondered why water was spherical when it’s on the ground, and why it didn’t just depart into millions of molecules. Thanks for giving me the answer!
FormalThread479-Minecraft I also expect that lateral winds can get them going faster than terminal velocity. Anything going fast enough can sting when it its you.
The only thing I see wrong with this is that the rain drop is not moving. In order for that shape of the rain drop to appear, some of the water would have to fall behind the main drop(the drop would have to be moving). In a wind tunnel the air pushes the drop at a certain speed but also at a certain height. If you speed the fan up or slow it down the drops would go higher or lower but more or less sustain the same height relative to all the other drops. If all the drops want to be at the same height then it makes sense for it to spread out into a pancake shape or stick together in a ball shape but you would not get the tear drop shape because you eliminated the factor that potentially created it: movement(or free falling at terminal velocity). I suggest putting a high speed camera outside while it is raining to really see what they look like. Or conduct an experiment where you drop water from a high place and record it as it falls.
Back in the late 80's, in south central Kansas, I remember a TV station explaining this on the news. Since we only had four stations where we lived, and three had local news (the fourth was KPTS - 8, a PBS station) it was either KSNW -3, KAKE -10, or KWCH -12. I can't remember which one.
The wind tunnel scenes reminded me of the scene in Willy Wonka where Charlie and his grandfather partake of the Fizzy Lifting Drinks and float upwards where the fan blades await their ultimate doom before belching and slowly returning to earth.
another reason why you might think of them like this is due to your camera, when your camera (and your eye to an extent) sees a raindrop it looks like a huge streek because the shutter speed (how long it takes for your camera to take a photo, and for how long the lens is open), because in that time between when the shutter opens and closes it will have traveld a significant distence, and that looks like a streek. this is why when i do cgi (and so do some pros) i actualy make rain drops realy streched out tear drop shapes, because that is how a camera would see it.
I didn't know about raindrops ripping themselves apart in mid-air! Now that I've realised it, it seems obvious that that would happen as they collect and get bigger, but it's still so awesome to see it happen!
they are a american based broadcast their demographic are young americans young americans are taught imperial till that changes.. doubt they will either they should however always include both
Why would you think that the reason someone sounds different is because they got new teeth? Out of all the other, more normal reasons someone sounds different than they do normally. Like seriously man. Who goes out and spontaneously gets new teeth?
How do you get new teeth at all? Like a new FULL set of teeth any way, cause mine aren't looking to white right now. Also do the shape of the teeth make a difference to the sound of your voice?🤔🤔
I just wanted to say that I love your videos, they make learning fun and exciting and also, my friend got me a Kiwi Co. Tinker Crate and it's one of the best gifts I've received. :)
Isn't the wind tunnel slightly different than free falling since there is enough wind to keep you afloat, while when you or the rain drop is free falling, it is still falling? Wouldn't the extra wind force change the shape of the drop as well?
As an artist, I'd draw it either as a short diagonal straight line, or a stretched oval kind of shape, because that's mostly how I draw rain. I always thought raindrops were spherical, though, because I never stopped to consider air resistance.
I wish I could go back to kindergarden, draw this shape, and when the teacher tells me off I explain this then tell the 32 year old they were just corrected by a 5 year old on physics.
A fluid is a substance that flows or deforms continuously under the the action of shear force. No matter how small it may be. Here continuous deformation is an important term that is missing from the defition given in the video.
A rain drop that is suspended in one place due to an upward air flow may have a different shape than one that is actually dropping through the atmosphere. How about filming a video where you skydive and observe water drops to get a more accurate representation of a rain drop. Also, would other gas fluids produce different shapes? Is the rain on Titan the same shape as Earth rain?
When my mom decided to take me indoor skydiving for my sweet 16, I never left the center of the wind tunnel. However, I hated the experience, so my mom choosing that for my sweet 16 was a really bad idea, but I loved going bowling for that same birthday. Anyway, this was a pretty educational video on raindrops. I never could draw that teardrop shape though.
I've always wanted to make it rain.
Did you learn something from this video? Let me know what you thought! And also tell me how awkward I looked indoor skydiving!
you looked really awkward 10/10

Yes ! thank you. Keep up the good work.
Really interesting idea
Do more videos on creative topics
Could you make a video about chromostereopsis? That effect where red and blue 2D images seems to be 3D
It basically works by letting each eye see only one of the 2 colored images (for example, through the red lens, you can only see the blue image), and since the we images are slightly different, they work like the eye: both eyes are in different points, so they'll see a very slightly different image of what you're looking at.
