I think she got a giant sieve, cut two holes for her legs, got a jug to put the water in, and carried the water in a sieve. That might not be it, but it definitely wasn't NeverWet.
Dear Sir, I love your videos but you left me perplexed in this one. At the beginning you said you knew how the woman carried the water. Then you proceeded to use modern hydrophilic spray. You never said how she did it way back when, wax maybe???
It was me. I went back and sprayed her seive so she could amaze generations with her water carrying ability. Tune in for the next Action Lab to see how THAT worked.
In my culture there is a whole folk tale about carrying water in a sieve. So there is folklore in my region about a farmer who meddled in the "dark arts" so to speak (he died decades ago, but he was a real person, although not actually magical ofc.). One anecdote about him tells, how travellers took rest on his property and he, displeased with those uninvited guests, extinguished their campfire with water, but to intimidate them, he carried that water in a sieve, showing them that he is capable of bening nature's laws. Of course they left as fast as they could.
@@Purple0nion Well, his family inherited his infamous reputation. My mother worked in their farmhouse as a child and she told us, that something was just *off* with the house and its inhabitants. There were also rumors, that his hidden treasure was still hidden somewhere in the building, but nothing was ever found, even when the farm got demolished and rebuilt a few years ago.
@@nayyarrashid4661 the channel nighthawkinlight did it with a 1:1 mixture of paraffin wax and mineral oil. He applied it to clothing to make it water proof. It was impressively easy. I don't necessarily think the virgin used mineral oil, but maybe she used another oil, or perhaps just beef fat only.
By explaining the pressure difference proportional to bubble size you also explained why cavitation can be so destructive to things like boat propellers, pump blades, etc
@@Based-wn9jg THANK YOU! It's insane how people are like "this guy is so dumb, hydrophobic spray didn't exist." 🤦🏼♀️ Like you said, fat and oil are hydrophobic. I guess all of these people think humans invented bees wax, animal fat, oil, 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I don't know how you manage to keep stepping up to the plate with more fun physics stuff, you always have something new to show! Thanks for sharing! I never thought to assume that smaller bubbles have more pressure, but it totally makes sense. Fascinating!
I think this may be helpful for some future Taskmaster contestants. I feel like I see someone try to move water in a sieve almost once a season/series.
Before the fifties, they used to have a water filter in the fuel line of a car. These consisted of fuel being pumped into a glass jar, the exit was through a small brass screen at the top for the fuel to proceed to carburator. The idea was water would sink to bottom of the jar, but with rough roads, you could not count on it staying unmixed. The brass screen was a small enough mesh that the gas would pass thru, but not the water. Proper car maintenance includes emptying the jar occasionally. You could also buy funnels with this mesh in them so you could filter water out of your gas as you filled the tank. I do not remember the size of this mesh, but I remember that the wire the mesh was made from seemed large. I'm assuming to increase the effects of surface tension.
Thank you for your excellent channel! I usually learn something new, and the episodes are always thought provoking. Like, I never knew about the large pressure inside of small bubbles....
I did some experiments on this decades ago, because it fascinated me. And also because we had a sieve that was made from long flat strips of plastic, and talking to my grandmother she told me that her mother had similar one that was made from some organic material (I don't know/remember the details, sorry). This plastic sieve already retained some water (which is why we usually used it to sieve powders rather than liquids), but if you either used some fat to coat it from inside (and outside for better measure IIRC) you could use it to carry water. You just had to be careful to not move it vertically too fast. Also if the water was dirty with something that gave it more surface tension you could have achieved the same result. I do wonder if old sieves that I assume weren't made from metal or plastic (no tech for plastic, making small thin rods from metal would be very difficult) but rather some natural fiber - could be susceptible to similar trick? Though the sieve from legend wouldn't be the size that was shown in the picture. Because that much water (especially in height) would be a lot of pressure. And the volume would mean that it would weigh a lot too. Apologies, I let myself speculate, but it is interesting that there is a video that mirrors a bit experiments that I did myself due to weird circumstance of me having that old, weird sieve.
I've learned with action lab, that no matter what the thumbnail looks like to me, the science in the video is great. It's always interesting and new to me, and I've been in science for a long time.
It's possible, the never wet wouldn't adhere to the net material but the principle is still sound. The net material probably had a coating or the strands were too absorbent... Another thing is, it may have made the net stiff which in reality basically make it the same as the sieve.
Cohesiveness is a very interesting and useful trait of many substances, also known as intermolecular force, it's especially interesting when the substances in question, are in their liquid states. The product is basically the same as Scotchgard. Thanks for the video. It is cool 😎 beans my man 👍
For all of you wondering where the woman from the story would get some hydroponic coating, oil is hydroponic. I just tried it with some sunflower oil and it doesn't work as well as it does in the video, but it does work! If I used one of those spray bottles filled with oil you usually use to coat your frying pan, it would have worked even better probably.
This is a cool video, I normally don't see effects like this described in terms of pressure and height of a water column, but rather as a surface effect. In the equation for the laplace pressure, γ refers to the surface tension of the liquid, and this means if you lower γ (such as by adding a surfactant) you can also lower the laplace pressure. I was really wondering if you were going to try adding a few drops of soap to a sieve that's holding its maximum capacity, it should start leaking pretty much immediately.
You can use the soot to coat the both side of the seive because soot is also gives you a hydrophobic surface. You can get soot from from burning oil, wood, wax, candle's elc.
I read wax as a possible coating that was used, plausible answer. Back then there was no electricity, people would have creatively used wax or serendipitously discovered hydrophobic properties. Wise idea.
Don't think of it as a higher pressure inside, it's actually that there is less pressure outside. The pressure from the outside being constant is less affective as surface area grows. It all happens together until the bubble membrane gets stretched beyond its limits
You can get a hydrophobic coating from certain kinds of soot, so more realistically, the person could have held the sieve over a candle until the inside was black and that may have been enough to carry the water
This could have some very interesting engineering applications for situations where you want a passive way to selectively let liquid pass under specific circumstances, such as overpressure.
I want you to do a video on extremely precise flat surfaces that stick together with no glue or magnets. Put it in a vacuum and see if it still sticks since one theory is the atmosphere pressure is what holds them together.
This is the same physics inkjet printers use. They use a teeny tiny electrical actuator to depress a diaphragm behind the nozzle which extrudes a very consistent and repeatable droplet of ink in part due to the interaction of the fluid and the nozzle.
Ok, I have a couple of requests! First, can you apply an electric charge to the metal seive in order to repel the water from falling through without the hydrophobic spray! Second, can small bubbles from a falling mist under a higher atmospheric pressure still create a rainbow when light passes through? Will the refractive angle change eliminating the possibility of creating a rainbow? Thanks!
I love your videos, been watching you since I was a kid. I was getting ready to say how do you know that the never wet polymer didn’t bridge the gap but you silenced me before I could. What I’m wondering now is could you trap liquids between a overlapping piece of fabric. What if you could create a diaphragm material that was made of a net with fluid trapped in its gaps. That pumped air until you applied too much pressure allowing air through. Such a neat solution to over heating in compression. Five second thought, haven’t thought it through but these are the kind of ideas you spark in me. I asked a a question a bunch of times but if you see this comment… how do you go about narrowing down academic papers worth your time reading, this is my biggest issue, I just can’t seem to get into academic reading because it’s too convoluted with stuff I’m not interested in. I’m referring to Google scholar, where should I go?
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but I've been contemplating stuff related to the 4th dimension lately, and I was curious about how light travels/behaves in it. can you make a video about that? or maybe just direct me to a better source? pretty please
could pressure from lots of nano bubbles be used in any meaningful application? Could they hold any amount of weight if you could figure out how to constantly produce them?

I see this every time I wash the lint filter of my dryer: I guess the dryer sheets or some residue from the clothes makes the surface of the filter hydrophobic. After washing it with soap the effect disappears.
This is using a modern sieve but what was a sieve made of back then, also what would have been an alternative method she could have used that was available at the time.
Do you think this could have a purposeful use? Like making certain tasks easier making previously impossible things possible to do? It could be cool as a patent.
