  • In this video I show you how to make dry water! I show you why water is "wet" and if it is possible to actually make dry water! I use a fumed silica to from a protective layer around micro-droplets of water so that they separated like grains of sand. The end product is a really weird solution of water droplets that form a powder-like liquid, or a liquid-like powder.

      Actually Clocks run slightly faster around the equator (than they do at the poles) due to a tiny planetary bulge that makes it slightly further away from the center of the earth's gravity, because the earth also has to rotate faster at the equator to keep up with the rest of the planet, these effects compensate for each other, causing both clocks to run at the same time. The difference in speed is so small that over a year the time disparity would only equate to less than a few seconds of age.

      Fumed silica serves as a universal thickening agent and an anticaking agent (free-flow agent) in powders. Like silica gel, it serves as a desiccant. It is used in cosmetics for its light-diffusing properties. It is used as a light abrasive, in products like toothpaste, I think he's ok.

      This is not water, it is a colloidal solution. If it were water, he could drink it. He could use it in things (experiments, recipes) which require water, but NOT fumed silica (which, by the way, I work with on a regular basis). He can't.

      So, they simulate water by making it many times more viscous than it is in reality? Sounds like a pretty crappy simulation. A viscous fluid moves slower, so I'd guess that's why they made it so viscous. The computers couldn't handle the real time calculations. And rightly so, they're insanely complex.

    • @GruvenHaus
      @GruvenHaus 4 роки тому +32

      When someone thinks they know something and they don't... Fumed silica is manufactured by a continuous flame hydrolysis process of SiCl4. During this process, SiCl4 is converted into the gas phase and then reacts spontaneously and quantitatively in an oxyhydrogen flame with the intermediately formed water to produce the desired silicon dioxide.
      2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O
      SiCl4 + 2 H2O = SiO2 + 4 HCl
      2 H2 + O2 + SiCl4 = SiO2 + 4 HCl
      (ii)During this chemical reaction a considerable amount of heat is released, which is eliminated in a cooling line. The only by-product is gaseous HCl which is separated from the fumed silica solid matter.
      SiO2 is then converted into the HYDROPHOBIC FUMED SILICA dimethyldichlorosilane (DDS) in a fluid-bed reactor. The silane reacts with the silanol groups primarily with the formation of Si-O-Si (CH3)2 units, and as a result the material acquires a hydrophobic character. The number of silanol groups is reduced during the treatment to about 30% of the initial value.
      (iii)Analogous reactions can also be carried out with other silanes and other HYDROPHILIC SILICA FUMES.
      NOW, you can quite clearly see that fumed silica is a powder by itself and in no way should it be confused with empty water...
