Very cool. My grandfather, who died at 95 right before the pandemic, used to collect physics toys and loved to demonstrate and explain how they work. Because of him I have a good understanding of buoyancy, surface tension, states of matter, electrical conductance, and many other concepts. We need people like you to teach this stuff to the next generation. Keep up the good work.
Solution for the puzzle: spin the tube while keeping it horizontal, the water will get pushed to the sides, causing the air to be displaced and go to the center
Since I have a spirit-level whose bubble sometimes fragments, I've learned to tap the level in the vertical position so that the bubble(s) collect as one unit. Then returning the spirit-level to the horizontal plane, one bubble returns to centre.
0:37 This can't actually happen naturally because the ball is shot higher than it starts out. You can see when the ball gets close to the edge where the guides are that it jumps. There's a magnet positioned where it can propel the ball forcefully down the ramp.

The ball in the PMS is clearly higher and faster at its apogee than when it falls down the hole. It therefore has gained energy (potential & kinetic) on its travels, most likely from an electromagnet in the base powered by a battery accessed from the side not shown in the video.

I think the rails are electrified, and what you're seeing is a super low-powered rail gun. The compass moves because the marble has an electromagnetic field moving through it.
For the tube with bubbles - to get the bubbles in the center portion of the tube, spin the whole with the center section in the middle (or approximately) as the spin axis. The fluid's greater mass and density will result in it being pushed outwards due to centrifugal (sorry) force. The gas being of lower density will "float" towards the center.
7:35 The water bends the light, A good example of this is a pencil in a bath, if you stick the pencil in the water it will seem to “Snap in half” in a clean cut, this is a result of the water bending physic (if there is a formula I do not understand it).
Challenge answer: Spin it board-side down. Water is heavier than air, so centrifugal force will move the lighter air inward to the middle. Though the board has more contact, it has an air cushion effect, reducing friction. Putting the edges down, on the other hand, would concentrate more downward force into a smaller area, causing braking.
I was thinking maybe of rubbing vigorously one end area at a time… the frictional heat energy formed, would cause the air trapped in end segment would migrate towards middle cooler zone? Your method tho does seem more plausible
@@seanbatiz6620 That would just shake it up. But not even a lighter would do that. It would just expand the air if the fluid is water, and compress it if anything else. It wouldn't do anything to move the bubble.
@@seanbatiz6620 I thought about that too. But I don’t think that would work because air is more dense than steam unless the steam is at +160 decrees and in the glass I think it might explode. But it would be pretty cool if somebody did the math to see if instead of glass it was metal and find out if it would be possible maybe heating both ends equally. In fact it would be very cool if someone could prove or disprove or possible or not possible. Fluid dynamics is not my thing.
7:55 Spin the contraption like a top and centrifugal force will move the heavier water to the outer bulbs displacing the lighter air into the center bulb.
7:57 just spin the thing fast enough Liquid is more dense than gas and will push gas out of the sides to the middle while liquid will leave middle and go to the sides
When I was a kid in the 60s/70s there was an old toy store in town that had been around for about 75 years or so. They had the coolest stuff, lots of science/physics toys on display, they obviously loved the educational toys and promoted them to parents. You could look around for hours in there, just rows of new and and what many would call out of date toys. Was also the last place around here to get the old Aurora slot car track and parts since most places switched to the Tyco sets. Just a fun and educational place to visit, the owner even though elderly remained a kid at heart and loved to show you around. Natually the big chain stores did them in like most family owned stores. I was looking at your Amazon store and had flashbacks to that toy store and my youth instantly. I may have to pick up a few things there, love physics gadgets to this day lol
Thanks for sharing Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional..
@AS ABOVE SO BELOW That link doesn't support your statement at all. The video only further explains the physics behind the seeming perpetual motion that's supposed to be impossible. The bob is a ferrite magnet ball and thats an electric coil. Even in this video it stated that the system "didn't break any law of thermodynamics" and I thought the magnetic compass made everything clear. But I guess there exist people like you. Did you think you made a big discovery with that linke you posted? Bet you're american 😂
5:02 bro that lighter but it’s more like a taser that probably is a electricity and differently made but I already got burn from it on my hand by someone who wanted to do a test on me but luckily it didn’t put a permanent scar and heals 1 week completely or maybe more depends how big it is
@@octavebelow6480 Not fake, there's a battery and electromagnet in the top part (you can see how the ball accelerates backward). There's a "perpetually spinning top" toy that operates a similar way, spinning on the top of the electromagnet at least until the battery gets drained.
@@kewkabe at first, I was hoping for the ball to fall right through the hole and then jump back up again. I thought the ramp has the perfect length and was perfectly angled.
@@octavebelow6480 I see no reason why it would have to be faked since it's labeled a perpetual motion *simulator* as in it's simply has the appearance of being a perpetual motion machine but because perpetual motion machines could not exist within the laws of the universe as far as we know it the reason why this doesn't classify as a perpetual motion machine in anyway is that gravity pulls the ball down and the angle of the ramp makes the ball fall down the hole and the ramp itself is set up in such a way that it can with the force of gravity throw the ball back up in the top portion. Just like those Bird desk toys but continuously ' sip water'
6:30 the oil drop timers. My 4 year old son has several of these. One identical to the first one shown. He has one that turns little wheels and a few others that do cool things. I always knew it was dyed oil but I figured the clear liquid was water. Never in my wildest thoughts would I have guessed Kerosene. But now it makes sense, water might be too thick for the proper flow. They need a less dense liquid like alcohol or gasoline. I guess Kerosene would be the better option. That basically makes them flammable if broken. I am not a paranoid parent so I will not take them from my son and deliver them to a "Haz-Mat" site. But I will make sure he is careful with them.
I remember back in the 1960s, as part of a science demo our 2nd grade teacher broke a thermometer and we got to play with the liquid metal mercury with our bare hands.
@@glasshalffull8625 Yeah, we had a jar of it in our class too, though the teacher warned us not to open it. So it was like we knew better than to mess with it but not enough to keep it out of the class altogether because there was always that one kid.
Oil Drop Timer: immiscible liquids (colored oil in kerosine) in two connected containers. The oil in each container falls through a small drop forming hole in between clear walls of acrylic.
7:52 rotate the entire thing, so water goes to the sides and the air can go to the middle, and the faster is rotates, more liquid will go to the sides, also for the people to easily understand, one example is the washing machine, see how clothes sticks to the inner walls leaving space in the middle, well its due to the centrifugal force.
7:44 my guess would be spinning it on the spot the centrifugal force should push the heavier water to the outside edges pushing the lighter air to the middle.
To complete the bubble trouble challenge, u spin it. The centrifugal forces cause the water to move to the edges. Then, the air gets pushed toward the center because the water is taking up all of the space. That is my guess.
Yes! spinning the puzzle about its center makes it into a simple centrifuge, where centripetal acceleration creates a density gradient, and the water, which has much greater density than air, moves away from the center towards the ends of the tube.
You can get the bubble to the center by using centrifugal force, you get the heaviest inside the piece to the sides, and so the lightest to the center.
The first one with the steel ball was cool, In Indianapolis in the 70's in the Detroit Diesel museum they had a display with ball bearings doing something like this I was amazed,Someone told me they did it with magnets ,But i thought because they were so perfectly machined. Amazing stuff here.
@@robinwestrick2270 yeah, very fast. Its likely something that pulls it down the hole once it starts to descend to give it a persistent speed. He does mention its powered in the description.
@Michael Dean you can see a similar 'disconnect' on the top railing so I doubt that would be the reason I have seen other pictures of the same device and there is no such thing so it could just be lighting. I have seen people explain this sort of device with a hall effect sensor or a metal detector which activate the electro magnet that pushes or pulls the ball (most likely it would push since pulling would probably slow it down more or require stricter timing)
Oh wow, I was almost ready to dismiss this as click bait (after a quick frame by frame I discovered it wasn't cut). But then I saw the monochromatic room in the exploratorium and that brought back some great memories. Flew over to see S&M2 and the exploratorium is absolutely amazing. Long story short, sodium vapour lamps shifted my perception of my own perception. It was absolutely a light bulb moment (pun intended). My hat is off, I love the science and entertainment mix, keep it up.

I think that when the metal ball contacts the metal rails it completes a circuit that engages a fairly powerful electromagnet. At the bottom, the rails seem to be a different material, or are otherwise separated from the electromagnet, opening the circuit, turning off the magnet.
@@nikoverde4735 It needs to be turned off when the ball reaches the low point and starts moving upwards. If a permanent magnet was there it would pull the ball back down, otherwise it would be a true perpetual motion. I am guessing, of course.
@@majorskepticism7836 I think you are right here. A permanent magnet would not make a difference and it would still be a perpetual machine, which is not possible.

It amazes me that toys like these can entertain someone for hours my grandpa had a clock that measured time with marbles and me and my cousins would sit in front of it for hours and watch the marbles move. Next to that clock he had a big grandfather clock and by listening to the ticks of that clock we could see how the marbles clock would tell time and it was an interesting experience to see and hear the passage of time and it was more entertaining than watching tv and when we could not play outside due to rain or something like that it would fill our day with endless entertainment
Oddly satisfying, as always. My answer to the quiz: Rotate the device, so the water is driven outward and the air is pressed into the center compartment.
It's amazing how much you can learn watching informative videos by passionate people. I'm able to "play" on my phone, and it feels like time well spent.
I had several oil drop timer as a kid and I didn't remember for 25 years until this video, very cool :) They were so fascinating, and I could watch them for hours.
Pretty cool seeing that Civil Defense meter. I worked on them in the 90's. I have one of these CDV 700's. There was also the 715 which was for higher levels of radiation. Then there was the 742 that measured the total dose you got. They were kept in fallout shelters and we exchanged them with freshly tested and calibrated ones with new batteries every 4 years until USSR broke up. Looks like we might need them again.
@@FlipswitchX It does add up over time but that's a very low level, It's not very dangerous, if it was it would have pegged the needle on the meter. That 700 actually has a small piece of radioactive material taped to the side of it so you can make sure the meter works
How do the radioactively emitted charged particles in the uranium inside the evacuated glass tube - get through the glass? If the emission was only an electromagnetic wave it would be obvious. But the radioactive emission from the uranium is actual charged particles. How is it that the glass atoms allow them to just pass right through?
@@Greg_Chase I'm not sure on the physics of it but I remember TDS. Time of exposure, Distance from said radioactive object and Shielding. There are 3 kinds of radiation. Alpha (very weak), Beta (stronger) and gamma, the worst. Fallout shelters were made under ground so the earth would give you some shielding. Lead is the best. I still have a lead pig that stored our training sources in. It's about 9 inches cubed and weighs about 200 lbs. The denser the material the more shielding. That thin glass is nothing to radiation
@Science Revolution your tidal thermal theory is very flawed. The short time the sun shines on a landmass/water body is entirly to short to cause tidal rise swelling. Even less so in the winter. Tge thermal mass of that amout of land is emense

It is a neat demonstration. Acceleration difference due to gravity between the Earth 9.8 m/s^2, Mars 3.7 m/s^2, and the Moon at 1.6 m/s^2 is pretty different. Wouldn't it be another interesting demonstration to have the same kind of set up where there the Moon has the longest shaft followed by Mars, and then Earth where dropping from the highest firs the triggers the drop of the next at the right height so they all land at the bottom at the same time?
To get the bubble in the center, spin it. Since the fluid is heavier than the gas, the fluid will push the gas towards the center via centrifugal force.

Unfortunately it isnt really a perpetual motion machine. At least not the kind we would harness energy from. If you tried to harness energy from it you would be taking energy out of the system and it would stop moving
@@wiseoldowl1628 You are indeed a wise old owl. But seriously, yeah. The amount of energy in any given system will at best remain the same. Chances are that energy will be lost through friction and other various forces.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. Physics describes the real magic of the universe.
@@alexanto336 it is impossible without adding energy to the marble, there is a bit more to it than just a magnet. a static magnetic field wont/doesn't doo work, I.E put energy back into the system. you need a magnetic flux. so this must have an electro magnet, or something that moves a permanent magnet somewhere in the system. we can also make a good educated guess where. Because of conservation of energy we know that the marble can only ever reach the height of the wood platform, unless there is an extra kick added as it falls or before the jump.
Yeah that's fake, he must have been bored to make that toy then edit out his hand pushing the ball down faster down the hole. It looks like it's in fast forward on the loop track. Because it Definitely going faster than if the ball dropped on its own. Plus it's on a video loop after the ball lands and follows exactly same path every time.(nothing in nature happens exactly the same every time. Especially a (fake) cheap made-up toy. Yep also no such thing as perpetual motion motor That moves without any force or loss of energy. But that doesn't mean" it's impossible to create more energy than what is used to make it". m.ua-cam.com/video/EzM9uvcodyM/v-deo.html Or by using magnets (Look up:Howard Johnson) Magnetism is the inverse of electricity. Also magnetic energy doesn't violate the laws of thermodynamics, just like gravitational energy doesn't. As when the potential energy of water(or any object) is pulled down from gravity into kinetic energy. Where it is then used to spin a generator to create electricity. Similar example: imagine a satellite in space is in continuous free fall from gravity and if it was connected to a track that circled a planet.. If it had a large enough mass and traveling fast enough. It could pull a cart with enough resistance to generate electricity. As it is in continuous free fall using the gravitational energy. Maybe not indefinitely on its own.. but definitely for a long long time. Also it would convert more electrical energy than what it would take to maintain its freefall. Similar to the first video where the electric motor turns an alternator. By using less power than what it makes. Eventually we will see these technologies. When the big companies run out of oil/fossil fuels. or we all decided to stop burning dinosaurs, because it's not healthy for us or environment. AND NO!! SOLAR POWER IS NOT A NEW TECHNOLOGY. It was invented in the 40's and put it on a satellite. And it still works 80+ years later, also most calculators from the 70s with them still work. Problem with solar,and why solar cells not made in USA. Photovoltaic cells utilize more than 19 finite rare minerals that are obsessively mined. The demand for these minerals is massive. Research also shows that there won’t be enough Indium (a component for solar cells) to supply this green revolution. Which is concerning, along with the impact of mining. As it is proven, mining results in sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of nearby water streams from highly acidic metal waste. Photovoltaic panel production requires substantial amounts of water, industrial materials, and even fossil fuels. As the primary energy source used in its production is Coal, which is directly linked to increased carbon emissions. Hydrofluoric acid and sodium hydroxides are both used in it's manufacturing process. Both require strict regulations regarding the treatment and disposal of toxic waste water.The workers in production factories must be safeguarded from these hazardous chemicals. (Except in China) Studies show silicon particles during production are released into the environment. Causing Silicosis in people that have come in contact with the particles. As 90% of China's water and 70% of their ground water is now contaminated with it, among all sorts of other ghastly toxic chemicals. So with this green new deal is definitely not green, definitely not new technology, and definitely cannot deal with the demand of an entire country , a city or even one American household that will be forced to use electric vehicles. So the adverage household uses 30Kwh per day, and to charge an EVehicle is 30kwh per 100 miles.(x2 or x3 cars per household) That's 90kwh-120kwh per day! That would require minimum 20kw solar system and 1200 Sq ft. of sun space for the panels. And the other big problem is.. when do most people use electricity? AT NIGHT! DUH! When they get home from work, turn on the lights,tv, heater, A/C, laundry, microwave, and now...They will need to charge thier cars for work next day. So do you think our electrical grid can handle a load 3x what it is now? It can barely handle its self right now with flex alerts every summer. Turning off everyone's A/C. So next step would be buy a 120kwh battery,lol. Which now.. adding a battery is a not so green. Nor is 20kw system with a 120kwh battery is not a good deal for your pocket book.( if you have 1200sq.available one side of your roof or backyard facing the sun, 120kwh ((10k⁸ Amp hour @12vo) battery and money to afford them). But , If you don't have all three .. THEN Imagine if the flex alert turned off your car charger, and had to go on a long commute for work next day. And you couldn't be late, let alone wait at a car charging station for an hour to charge it. That's if, you don't have to wait for other people before you to charge. Just look at the gas pumps now and how full they get. And it only takes only 5 min to get gas So when everyone and their mothers have an electric car. You think their will be enough charging spots. I'm sure, you can now see, what kind of train wreck we are all headed towards. (Stupid politicians..have no common sense." think it might be smarter to upgrade our electrical grid first to handle all those cars.Have electric companies start building charging stations. Like Walmart sized parking lots for the 2.5 cars/per household 1111¹qqqq¹q¹¹¹,
@@smottiebug7518 what about those thermal solar power centrals that don't use solar panels, but concentrate the Sun rays on a tank of salt, the salt melts and that heat is used even through the night to generate electricity?
I really like your perpetual motion device. Seems there is enough force produced by the downward gravitational pull of the ball to not only return it to the top platform but perhaps also to spin a turbine or a series of turbines to produce useable energy. Would the device continue to function if it were scaled up proportianlly and if so, is there a point of diminishing returns?
The simple answer is "no". To generate usable energy would add more friction somewhere within the mechanism which would slow down the ball's momentum to the point where it would stop soon after being started. I am not an expert on electric cars but we own a hybrid one where, so I am told, the battery is charged when brakes are applied and it's the friction there that generates the electrical charge. Even this isn't a "perpetual motion" device anyway because at some point wear on the ball or track would add more friction anyway and ultimately slow it to a complete stop - albeit it might take days, weeks or months to do so. Don't get me wrong, it's still an extremely clever and impressive design.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Some vehicles use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions. So I believe it is possible to spin a turbine within a limited tolerance to where the ball can still get back to the top. This ball appears to clear the platform with height to spare, so perhaps some momentum loss would be acceptable. However, the amount of energy may not be sufficient to be useful. That is why I asked if the device could be scaled. Perhaps a larger scale could increase the energy production to make it worthwhile.
@@petez7140 Then I thank you for the discussion and suggest we leave it there, as I have no intention in repeating what I wrote above just because you "believe" something different. It's all standard concepts of physics anyway - the generation of charge through friction is called "the triboelectric effect". But friction creates loss of momentum which eventually reduces momentum to zero. That's an indisputable fact, whatever you personally believe to the contrary. Have a good rest of your day, I'm done here.

Perpetual Motion Simulator: this marble machine device does not break any laws of thermodynamics- but it sure looks like it! When I first saw videos of this piece of kinetic art I thought the effect was due to video editing, but in fact the base contains a "👉 power source" and very clever mechanism (I used compass for clue/partial reveal). An amazing piece of art by William Le crafted from stainless steel wire, doussie hardwood, and undisclosed internal components. A remarkable addition to my collection! (Please read video description for details)
For the PM simulator: I think there is a ring-shaped magnet embedded in the upper platform that accelerates the ball as it goes though the hole. Look how the ball moves around in a jerking motion as it rolls to the center.
@@vmondude because it's USING power to make it work; it's not generating any. The electromagnet to accelerate the ball takes battery power, and when you add up all the forces of input and output, you get a net energy loss to make the ball go around.

Solution for the puzzle: spin the tube while keeping it horizontal, the water will get pushed to the sides, causing the air to be displaced and go to the center
As is the solution for most tricky puzzles, either spin it or hit it.
@@gabrieltull3585 especially relationships
I made a similar puzzle out of wood a while ago I'm pretty sure that is correct.
Came here to give you a like because I knew it was the answer. Just didn’t want to cloud up the comments with additional comments.
Since I have a spirit-level whose bubble sometimes fragments, I've learned to tap the level in the vertical position so that the bubble(s) collect as one unit. Then returning the spirit-level to the horizontal plane, one bubble returns to centre.
solution to the puzzle: spin the tube. Centrifuge will move the water to the sides and the bubble will be held in the center.
Came here to post that. Glad I looked. Good on ye.
Me also lol
Yep ! Bien vu ! 🧐😄👍
I was going to say shake it, flip it, then try spinning it. Gg
Yep, had bb puzzle that used the same principle. Edit to change "principal" to "principle".
0:37 This can't actually happen naturally because the ball is shot higher than it starts out. You can see when the ball gets close to the edge where the guides are that it jumps. There's a magnet positioned where it can propel the ball forcefully down the ramp.

The ball in the PMS is clearly higher and faster at its apogee than when it falls down the hole. It therefore has gained energy (potential & kinetic) on its travels, most likely from an electromagnet in the base powered by a battery accessed from the side not shown in the video.
Clearly not real. Perpetual motion is a fallacy.

I think the rails are electrified, and what you're seeing is a super low-powered rail gun. The compass moves because the marble has an electromagnetic field moving through it.
For the tube with bubbles - to get the bubbles in the center portion of the tube, spin the whole with the center section in the middle (or approximately) as the spin axis. The fluid's greater mass and density will result in it being pushed outwards due to centrifugal (sorry) force. The gas being of lower density will "float" towards the center.

The water bends the light, A good example of this is a pencil in a bath, if you stick the pencil in the water it will seem to “Snap in half” in a clean cut, this is a result of the water bending physic (if there is a formula I do not understand it).
Challenge answer: Spin it board-side down. Water is heavier than air, so centrifugal force will move the lighter air inward to the middle. Though the board has more contact, it has an air cushion effect, reducing friction. Putting the edges down, on the other hand, would concentrate more downward force into a smaller area, causing braking.
I was thinking maybe of rubbing vigorously one end area at a time… the frictional heat energy formed, would cause the air trapped in end segment would migrate towards middle cooler zone? Your method tho does seem more plausible
As Samuel L Jackson would say Correctomundo.
@@seanbatiz6620 That would just shake it up. But not even a lighter would do that. It would just expand the air if the fluid is water, and compress it if anything else. It wouldn't do anything to move the bubble.
@@seanbatiz6620 I thought about that too. But I don’t think that would work because air is more dense than steam unless the steam is at +160 decrees and in the glass I think it might explode. But it would be pretty cool if somebody did the math to see if instead of glass it was metal and find out if it would be possible maybe heating both ends equally. In fact it would be very cool if someone could prove or disprove or possible or not possible.
Fluid dynamics is not my thing.
Clever!
7:55 Spin the contraption like a top and centrifugal force will move the heavier water to the outer bulbs displacing the lighter air into the center bulb.
I agree, this was my solution also.
Google is great, eh?

When I was a kid in the 60s/70s there was an old toy store in town that had been around for about 75 years or so. They had the coolest stuff, lots of science/physics toys on display, they obviously loved the educational toys and promoted them to parents. You could look around for hours in there, just rows of new and and what many would call out of date toys. Was also the last place around here to get the old Aurora slot car track and parts since most places switched to the Tyco sets. Just a fun and educational place to visit, the owner even though elderly remained a kid at heart and loved to show you around. Natually the big chain stores did them in like most family owned stores.
I was looking at your Amazon store and had flashbacks to that toy store and my youth instantly. I may have to pick up a few things there, love physics gadgets to this day lol
Thanks for sharing
Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that's precise, predictive and reliable - a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional..

These gadgets are a must for anyone that loves physics!
I can't afford that 😓
I hate physics just walk on walls bruh
@AS ABOVE SO BELOW That link doesn't support your statement at all. The video only further explains the physics behind the seeming perpetual motion that's supposed to be impossible. The bob is a ferrite magnet ball and thats an electric coil. Even in this video it stated that the system "didn't break any law of thermodynamics" and I thought the magnetic compass made everything clear. But I guess there exist people like you.
Did you think you made a big discovery with that linke you posted? Bet you're american 😂
Great point :D

This perpetual motion simulator looks quite cool. I also remember having one of these Oil drop timers many many years ago.
@@octavebelow6480 Not fake, there's a battery and electromagnet in the top part (you can see how the ball accelerates backward). There's a "perpetually spinning top" toy that operates a similar way, spinning on the top of the electromagnet at least until the battery gets drained.
@@octavebelow6480 Your first comment was rather deceiving then, just like most perpetual motion machines
@@kewkabe at first, I was hoping for the ball to fall right through the hole and then jump back up again. I thought the ramp has the perfect length and was perfectly angled.
@@bobveinne2439 oh sorry
@@octavebelow6480 I see no reason why it would have to be faked since it's labeled a perpetual motion *simulator* as in it's simply has the appearance of being a perpetual motion machine but because perpetual motion machines could not exist within the laws of the universe as far as we know it the reason why this doesn't classify as a perpetual motion machine in anyway is that gravity pulls the ball down and the angle of the ramp makes the ball fall down the hole and the ramp itself is set up in such a way that it can with the force of gravity throw the ball back up in the top portion. Just like those Bird desk toys but continuously ' sip water'
6:30 the oil drop timers. My 4 year old son has several of these. One identical to the first one shown. He has one that turns little wheels and a few others that do cool things. I always knew it was dyed oil but I figured the clear liquid was water. Never in my wildest thoughts would I have guessed Kerosene. But now it makes sense, water might be too thick for the proper flow. They need a less dense liquid like alcohol or gasoline. I guess Kerosene would be the better option. That basically makes them flammable if broken. I am not a paranoid parent so I will not take them from my son and deliver them to a "Haz-Mat" site. But I will make sure he is careful with them.
Like a reasonable, responsible adult! How refreshing. So many now would freak out and take them to HAZMAT disposal and sue to have them discontinued.
Kerosene is not that flammable when spilt. If it had a wick, then it's like regular oil

7:45 Bubbles go to center by moving to the edges the fluid (since it is more dense) just by rotating around vertical centered axis.
He said, "spin it"
6:51 is that what those are? I just thought they were some cool novelty item tbh
Oil Drop Timer: immiscible liquids (colored oil in kerosine) in two connected containers. The oil in each container falls through a small drop forming hole in between clear walls of acrylic.
1:22 that's how WB made their old intro
7:52
rotate the entire thing, so water goes to the sides and the air can go to the middle, and the faster is rotates, more liquid will go to the sides, also for the people to easily understand, one example is the washing machine, see how clothes sticks to the inner walls leaving space in the middle, well its due to the centrifugal force.
theres gotta be a way to ddo it without using a machine or somthin tho
7:44 my guess would be spinning it on the spot the centrifugal force should push the heavier water to the outside edges pushing the lighter air to the middle.
To complete the bubble trouble challenge, u spin it. The centrifugal forces cause the water to move to the edges. Then, the air gets pushed toward the center because the water is taking up all of the space. That is my guess.
Yes! spinning the puzzle about its center makes it into a simple centrifuge, where centripetal acceleration creates a density gradient, and the water, which has much greater density than air, moves away from the center towards the ends of the tube.
You can get the bubble to the center by using centrifugal force, you get the heaviest inside the piece to the sides, and so the lightest to the center.
It works better if you do that in free fall, the water goes to the sides and the air stays in the center.
Same laws different physics. Both r correct
The first one with the steel ball was cool, In Indianapolis in the 70's in the Detroit Diesel museum they had a display with ball bearings doing something like this I was amazed,Someone told me they did it with magnets ,But i thought because they were so perfectly machined. Amazing stuff here.
It looked like magnets, it bumped against the front lip every time weird
@@robinwestrick2270 yeah, very fast. Its likely something that pulls it down the hole once it starts to descend to give it a persistent speed.
He does mention its powered in the description.
Electro magnet. It’s a gimmick
Gimmick or not, it's a great curio.
@Michael Dean you can see a similar 'disconnect' on the top railing so I doubt that would be the reason I have seen other pictures of the same device and there is no such thing so it could just be lighting.
I have seen people explain this sort of device with a hall effect sensor or a metal detector which activate the electro magnet that pushes or pulls the ball (most likely it would push since pulling would probably slow it down more or require stricter timing)
Oh wow, I was almost ready to dismiss this as click bait (after a quick frame by frame I discovered it wasn't cut). But then I saw the monochromatic room in the exploratorium and that brought back some great memories. Flew over to see S&M2 and the exploratorium is absolutely amazing. Long story short, sodium vapour lamps shifted my perception of my own perception. It was absolutely a light bulb moment (pun intended). My hat is off, I love the science and entertainment mix, keep it up.

How do the radioactively emitted charged particles in the uranium inside the evacuated glass tube - get through the glass? If the emission was only an electromagnetic wave it would be obvious.

Perpetual Motion Simulator: this marble machine device does not break any laws of thermodynamics- but it sure looks like it! When I first saw videos of this piece of kinetic art I thought the effect was due to video editing, but in fact the base contains a "👉 power source" and very clever mechanism (I used compass for clue/partial reveal). An amazing piece of art by William Le crafted from stainless steel wire, doussie hardwood, and undisclosed internal components. A remarkable addition to my collection!
For the bubble trouble puzzle, it would probably work to apply heat to the middle section while cooling the left and right. You'd need to keep applying the different temperatures for a long time. I'm probably overthinking this though.
you have to spin it. Water is denser so will go towards the ends, hence the bubbles will group in the middle
Yes! spinning the puzzle about its center makes it into a simple centrifuge, where centripetal acceleration creates a density gradient, and the water, which has much greater density than air, moves away from the center towards the ends of the tube.
I applaud any thinking whether it be over or under. Great video!! I want these toys.

My guess is the "perpetual motion" machine is powered by an electromagnet in the base.
Gotta be that base is thick
the perpetual motion the device has some kind of a motor on the inside which you can see if you unscrew the bottom
definitely contains a "👉 power source"

Loved the Oil Drop Timers . And of course , the Perpetual Motion Toy .
Unfortunately it isnt really a perpetual motion machine. At least not the kind we would harness energy from. If you tried to harness energy from it you would be taking energy out of the system and it would stop moving
@@gdhyp3rsqu1d59 but it's moving the needle... Is the ball magnetic? So small amount of energy created.
@@rra7424 say it with me.
There is no such thing as perpetual motion machine.
@@wiseoldowl1628 You are indeed a wise old owl.
But seriously, yeah. The amount of energy in any given system will at best remain the same. Chances are that energy will be lost through friction and other various forces. It amazes me how many videos exist online for "free energy devices" and " never ending water fountains" and other perpetual motion machines. And it's even crazier seeing the amount of likes videos like these gets

Which one?
Some guy: “I’ve figured out how to use this physics toy to create free energy”.

But I am sure he have published his solution…
this is why i love physics. when i was 10, people thought i was some kind of psychopath cos i would stop talking about physics. this shows, just if you dont understand something, doesnt mean its magic.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.
Physics describes the real magic of the universe.
As a lifelong engineer and applied physics enthusiast my favorite is still the perpetual motion simulator, that's supposed to be impossible 👍😁!
It is impossible, if that ball isn't magnet in this case. Am I right?
@@alexanto336 That seems apparent to me to!
@@alexanto336 it is impossible without adding energy to the marble, there is a bit more to it than just a magnet. a static magnetic field wont/doesn't doo work, I.E put energy back into the system. you need a magnetic flux. so this must have an electro magnet, or something that moves a permanent magnet somewhere in the system. we can also make a good educated guess where. Because of conservation of energy we know that the marble can only ever reach the height of the wood platform, unless there is an extra kick added as it falls or before the jump.
@@mikel9656 👍
Im interested in that perpetual motion simulator
There's no such thing as perpetual motion machine/simulator or any nonsense like that. Our physics just doesn't work like that.
Yeah that's fake, he must have been bored to make that toy then edit out his hand pushing the ball down faster down the hole.
It looks like it's in fast forward on the loop track.
Because it Definitely going faster than if the ball dropped on its own. Plus it's on a video loop after the ball lands and follows exactly same path every time.(nothing in nature happens exactly the same every time. Especially a (fake) cheap made-up toy.
Yep also no such thing as perpetual motion motor
That moves without any force or loss of energy.
But that doesn't mean" it's impossible to create more energy than what is used to make it".

Or by using magnets
(Look up:Howard Johnson)
Magnetism is the inverse of electricity.
Also magnetic energy doesn't violate the laws of thermodynamics, just like gravitational energy doesn't. As when the potential energy of water(or any object) is pulled down from gravity into kinetic energy. Where it is then used to spin a generator to create electricity.
Similar example: imagine a satellite in space is in continuous free fall from gravity and if it was connected to a track that circled a planet.. If it had a large enough mass and traveling fast enough. It could pull a cart with enough resistance to generate electricity. As it is in continuous free fall using the gravitational energy.
Maybe not indefinitely on its own.. but definitely for a long long time.
Also it would convert more electrical energy than what it would take to maintain its freefall.
Similar to the first video where the electric motor turns an alternator. By using less power than what it makes.
Eventually we will see these technologies. When the big companies run out of oil/fossil fuels. or we all decided to stop burning dinosaurs, because it's not healthy for us or environment.
AND NO!!
SOLAR POWER IS NOT A NEW TECHNOLOGY.
It was invented in the 40's and put it on a satellite. And it still works 80+ years later, also most calculators from the 70s with them still work.
Problem with solar,and why solar cells not made in USA.
Photovoltaic cells utilize more than 19 finite rare minerals that are obsessively mined. The demand for these minerals is massive. Research also shows that there won’t be enough Indium (a component for solar cells) to supply this green revolution. Which is concerning, along with the impact of mining. As it is proven, mining results in sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of nearby water streams from highly acidic metal waste.
Photovoltaic panel production requires substantial amounts of water, industrial materials, and even fossil fuels. As the primary energy source used in its production is Coal, which is directly linked to increased carbon emissions.
Hydrofluoric acid and sodium hydroxides are both used in it's manufacturing process. Both require strict regulations regarding the treatment and disposal of toxic waste water.The workers in production factories must be safeguarded from these hazardous chemicals. (Except in China)
Studies show silicon particles during production are released into the environment. Causing Silicosis in people that have come in contact with the particles. As 90% of China's water and 70% of their ground water is now contaminated with it, among all sorts of other ghastly toxic chemicals.
So with this green new deal is definitely not green, definitely not new technology, and definitely cannot deal with the demand of an entire country , a city or even one American household that will be forced to use electric vehicles.
So the adverage household uses 30Kwh per day, and to charge an EVehicle is 30kwh per 100 miles.(x2 or x3 cars per household)
That's 90kwh-120kwh per day!
That would require minimum 20kw solar system and 1200 Sq ft. of sun space for the panels.
And the other big problem is.. when do most people use electricity? AT NIGHT! DUH!
When they get home from work, turn on the lights,tv, heater, A/C, laundry, microwave, and now...They will need to charge thier cars for work next day.
So do you think our electrical grid can handle a load 3x what it is now? It can barely handle its self right now with flex alerts every summer. Turning off everyone's A/C.
So next step would be buy a 120kwh battery,lol.
Which now.. adding a battery is a not so green.
Nor is 20kw system with a 120kwh battery is not a good deal for your pocket book.( if you have 1200sq.available one side of your roof or backyard facing the sun, 120kwh ((10k⁸ Amp hour @12vo) battery and money to afford them).
But ,
If you don't have all three ..
THEN
Imagine if the flex alert turned off your car charger, and had to go on a long commute for work next day. And you couldn't be late, let alone wait at a car charging station for an hour to charge it. That's if, you don't have to wait for other people before you to charge.
Just look at the gas pumps now and how full they get. And it only takes only 5 min to get gas
So when everyone and their mothers have an electric car. You think their will be enough charging spots.
I'm sure, you can now see, what kind of train wreck we are all headed towards.
(Stupid politicians..have no common sense." think it might be smarter to upgrade our electrical grid first to handle all those cars.Have electric companies start building charging stations. Like Walmart sized parking lots for the 2.5 cars/per household

@@smottiebug7518 what about those thermal solar power centrals that don't use solar panels, but concentrate the Sun rays on a tank of salt, the salt melts and that heat is used even through the night to generate electricity?
I really like your perpetual motion device. Seems there is enough force produced by the downward gravitational pull of the ball to not only return it to the top platform but perhaps also to spin a turbine or a series of turbines to produce useable energy. Would the device continue to function if it were scaled up proportianlly and if so, is there a point of diminishing returns?
The simple answer is "no". To generate usable energy would add more friction somewhere within the mechanism which would slow down the ball's momentum to the point where it would stop soon after being started.
I am not an expert on electric cars but we own a hybrid one where, so I am told, the battery is charged when brakes are applied and it's the friction there that generates the electrical charge.
Even this isn't a "perpetual motion" device anyway because at some point wear on the ball or track would add more friction anyway and ultimately slow it to a complete stop - albeit it might take days, weeks or months to do so.
Don't get me wrong, it's still an extremely clever and impressive design.
@@terrydaktyllus1320 Some vehicles use motor generators that perform both the drive and regeneration functions. So I believe it is possible to spin a turbine within a limited tolerance to where the ball can still get back to the top. This ball appears to clear the platform with height to spare, so perhaps some momentum loss would be acceptable. However, the amount of energy may not be sufficient to be useful. That is why I asked if the device could be scaled. Perhaps a larger scale could increase the energy production to make it worthwhile.
@@petez7140 Then I thank you for the discussion and suggest we leave it there, as I have no intention in repeating what I wrote above just because you "believe" something different.
It's all standard concepts of physics anyway - the generation of charge through friction is called "the triboelectric effect". But friction creates loss of momentum which eventually reduces momentum to zero. That's an indisputable fact, whatever you personally believe to the contrary.
Have a good rest of your day, I'm done here.

You must be a beginner in websites.
It's the server speed or your network speed that affects the loading time.
If you're a normal user, that should be the only reason
@@bitonic589 something is causing their site, especially the images, to load slowly. Hopefully they can get a smart, talented, experienced professional such as yourself to help them optimize it.
@@Eyes0penNoFear I'm not talented, I'm not a professional, I'm not experienced. I just know a little bit about networking and websites.
@@bitonic589 my mistake.
Here's what Google says when you do a search for "slow loading website"
"A large volume of unoptimized images is usually the most common reason behind website slowness. High-resolution images can consume lots of bandwidth while loading. Uploading larger sized images and then scaling them down can unnecessarily increase the size of your web page - causing your website to load slowly."
Have a nice day 🙂

ваше видео и поражаюсь 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍
For the PM simulator: I think there is a ring-shaped magnet embedded in the upper platform that accelerates the ball as it goes though the hole. Look how the ball moves around in a jerking motion as it rolls to the center.
I think you figured it out. I noticed the random erratic path, but never occurred to me why? Good deal!!
A magnet would not work. There is a controller with sensors, coil built in to eccelerate the ball in right moment.
@@rbwernig True. Spelling Nazi: Accelerate.
@@vmondude because it's USING power to make it work; it's not generating any. The electromagnet to accelerate the ball takes battery power, and when you add up all the forces of input and output, you get a net energy loss to make the ball go around.
@@bellowphone Thanks for the explanation. But surely that loss is still small enough to be good for energy storage?
