    Sorry everyone, I messed up the in the video I said speed of sound is 340 mph, I meant 340 m/s (760 mph)🤦🏻‍♂️. I believe this is how the $125 million mars climate orbiter crashed into mars due to using non-SI units when the engineer thought they were SI...

  • @pixelpatter01

    That was a very interesting video. The concept of the contact area being optimal for only spheres of certain radii makes sense. It would have been interesting to see the paper in the dark when you did that. Trying in in different gasses might be interesting too, to see what the effects of different atomic weights has. I believe there is a super bright flash generated when explosives are used with Argon gas. Perhaps you could put some Argon in a bag with the sphere and clank them together; it should be safe as Argon is non explosive.

      You get a steep angle looking into the collision... Consider replacing human hands getting in the way with a lean mechanism etc... You could get a clean shot of it. Furthermore unless I misunderstood something it's not necessary for the shape of the colliding objects to be spheres, that was just convenient because it easily gives you a minimal surface area for the collision.

    Interesting demonstration. Please explain what causes the "mini sonic boom"? There is probably not that much total force applied to the paper (or foil) but that force is applied over a very, very small area. It would interesting to calculate the area of contact between the two spheres knowing that they will deform ever so slightly. The paper would simply crush and thus heat up and burn over a very small area. The foil will compress and push outwards causing the ripples.

    Your channel is always interesting and you always demonstrate a nice basic way complicated things. There's one thing I've always wondered does the temperature difference between two items determine how fast those two items will equalize each other in terms of temperature. If one item is 10° different than the other and they're placed against each other is the rate that it will equalize those two things slower than if there was a hundred degree difference I know it'll take longer but it's the rate of temperature change that I'm curious about. Thanks keep up the great work

    When I did that to a foil underwater, I noticed that it created two of those concentric patterns. The speed of sound is like 4.5 faster than air. During the first impact, I wondered if there may be a blast of steam, then it condensates to pull the ball back in for a second impact.

I've also heard that they all rotate in synchronisation, no matter how far apart in the universe they are and that he is single handedly responsible for quantum entanglement as the universe is afraid to not follow his example.

    Hello, I have a curious experiment, Viktor Grebennikov talked about beetles can somehow levitate. I suppose that you can catch a few beetles and introduce them into the vacuum chamber, if that man was correct, they should supposedly, ‘levitate’, greetings.

      Mate your English is better than mine and I’m a top scoring student in the uk, but anyway that does seem like a good experiment

      JOSE KLK BRR I’m assuming you mean “Hello, I have a curious experiment, Viktor Grebennikov talked about beetles can somehow levitate. I suppose that you can catch a few beetles and introduce them into the vacuum chamber, if that man was correct, they should supposedly, ‘levitate’” but your English is very good as your a non-English speaker. If you want, you can copy+paste this. Hope I helped! And I like the idea!!

    When the area is less pressure is more! A perfect sphere balances itself on one point, so the pressure is more! (7th grade physics)

    Hey, can you freeze liquid nitrogen or make dry ice liquid?!

      Liquid Nitrogen will freeze to a solid at around minus 380 degrees F. Dry ice will liquify if you can contain it in a pressure vessel. It dry ice does in fact melt but like I said before, only when it's able to be kept at a high pressure. It's sold as a liquid for soft drink fountains. The tank takes the gas off the top (as opposed to a tank with a 'siphon' where the co2 is taken from the bottom as the liquid).

    Interesting! But may I disagree in 2 points?
    1st 340 mph isn't the speed of sound, that's 767.3 mph.
    2nd Larger balls create more energy, but the surface area for quenching is increasing less. The weight/mass/volume increase by cubic in relation to radius/diameter while the surface are increases just by square.

      Yeah I find it strange too, I'm going to try with "boule de pétanque" it's from a french sport, the steel balls are bigger than that so I'll know.
      Also the foil migth just wrikle due buckling from heat expansion and not by creating a still image of a shockwave.

    Speed of sound in air is way more than 340 miles per hour.

    I had a toy as a kid that did the same thing. Two balls that move like butterfly wings when you lift it up and down but on a handle. It would spark with each hit, top and bottom. Very cool.
