  • In this video I combine Robert Boyle's self flowing flask with Polyethylene Gycol, the self pouring or self siphoning liquid in order to attempt a perpetual motion flow system. I make the internet version of Boyle's flask to attempt this then I show the neat properties of the polyethylene glycol. Then talk about how perpetual motion is actually possible with superfluids.

    You're doing it wrong, you have to place the orange portal at the lowest point, and the blue portal up at the top of the cup. That should solve your problem. While liquid helium has no viscosity, it's still affected by gravity, so going up a tube would still require either power or a syphon effect to work.

    • @TheActionLab
      @TheActionLab  6 років тому +27

      +Eugene S yes liquid helium is affected by gravity but it has a strange property called superflow where it always climbs up its container walls against gravity. It is usually attributed to "wetting" as opposed to 0 viscosity. But it is currently not understood how or why liquid helium climbs its containers against gravity. So in this case the liquid helium could climb the walls of the tube and drop back into the original cup. If you are unsure if that would work then you could always dip the tube back in the liquid once it is flowing and then it would flow for sure because gravity doesn't effect it in a closed pressure loop.

    • @unknownprofile8909
      @unknownprofile8909 6 років тому +6

      true liquid helium would work in theory however keeping helium liquid for a significant amount of time is really hard it would turn to gas and stop pretty fast unless you were putting energy in(well technically taking it out since it needs to be cold but you know what I mean), and if it stops it is not perpetual there are lots of ways to make it work temporarily although I don`t remember them all, for instance I think some beers actually do work for a couple seconds if they are really bubbly ones until the beer goes flat or something like that.

    • @k_tess

    • @WeeHen

      No. You have to have the liquid nitrogen, along with helium which is frozen. (you can freeze helium now)
      After that, you can enter the 4th dimension, and there you can see some quantum slimes.
      If you touch one of them, you might get an effect, called "Huehue Effect", where you will actually enter the 5th dimension.
      Now thats when you can start poruing liquid.

      You will need a sealed "chamber" with 3 holes located at the lowest part of the loop, this chamber need to be filled from the top with also an exhaust on the top, the tird hole needs to be located at least about half of the height of the chamber(distance depends on the loop height) then the third hole and the exhaust hole must be merged in a Y connector below the water level, avoid looping the end where the water comes out and use an horizontal end so it can be as closer to the water level, this way you will require less effort to push the water up its level... what you are looking for with the chamber is to create a small pressure pump with the water filling the chamber the water will fill the space of the air inside giving a small push to the water that is trying to go up, you can go very picky on this to calculate what is needed for the pressure, chamber height, hole position, etc, off course the pressure on the chamber is limited by the amount of air that it can hold but here is when secondary pressure chambers, mechanical gauges and levers will come in to play to keep a continuous pressure.
      The exhaust hole can be avoided if pressure is enough to push water up but if used the connection between the chamber and Y connector needs to be set as an arc in a "n" shape to avoid water on it, the reason of the exhaust is to make a push closer to the end of the water exit to create a sucking effect and to redirect pressure to the exitor it can also be used to combine multiple chambers.
      Also the connection from water container and chamber filler will work better having a "P" trap in between.

    Liquid Helium: you can't put a turbine on it to extract work. My brain insists on putting on a "water wheel" to be spun by the liquid falling down, and I have a hard time convincing it that extracting the energy from the gravity acceleration will stop the flow too (because energy conservation and stuff - the falling liquid helps counter gravity on the side where it goes up, does it not?)

    Capillary action depends on the diameter of the tube though. The larger the diameter, the smaller the effect. Couldn't you just increase the diameter of the tube at the end? This would spread the liquid out over a larger area and surface tension wouldn't be enough to resist the weight of the liquid, causing it to flow downward. It probably wouldn't work but it'd still be fun to watch. Someone should really make a model and demonstrate this irl.

    • @SpaghettiToaster
      @SpaghettiToaster 6 років тому

      @bobfortewsevin4711 6 років тому +23

      So you're saying you need to decrease the capillary force enough so it can't resist gravity correct? Then the liquid will flow down in to the cup right? Wrong.
      If, as you say, the capillary force is not sufficient to overcome gravity, then the liquid will not be able to be pulled up the tube in the first place.
      By definition this machine cannot work. Either the capillary force is stronger meaning the liquid won't leave the tube, or gravity is stronger meaning the liquid won't go up the tube.

      +Bob ForTewSevin I think you misunderstood. In the original Boyle's Flask experiment, the liquid is indeed pulled up by capillary forces up the curve but the same capillary forces hold the water together and prevent it from flowing out the other side. Which is why I suggested that perhaps enlarging the tube beyond that point would cause the stuck water to fall downward. This is very difficult to explain via text. Which is why someone should really do it irl.
