  • I recently found copper listed on the ingredient list for some candy. Can that really be true and are any metals allowed as a food additive?
    Join me in a journey into some odd food additives and drinks in this video. Including one that is about to get banned in Europe!

    I drank a lot of Goldschläger when I was a student in the early 2000s. I often wondered what happened to all the gold I ingested. I guess it just became suspended in my poop, and then evacuated, for someone to pan out of a river in a few 100 years time.

  • @jonrhaider
    @jonrhaider 2 роки тому +572

    When the bottle stops spinning, the viscosity and the distribution of metal flakes (and thus the density) are not uniform throughout, so there are going to be 'discs' with more metal flake concentration that want to maintain rotational momentum more than the neighboring more viscous 'disc'. Once that gradient exists, metal flakes gravitate towards the discs with higher momentum and lower viscosity, so they clump together into the visual effect we see..

    But I have no idea, really.

    • @TheDJLionman
      @TheDJLionman 2 роки тому +4

      this was similar to my guess i think the metal is in a suspension and cant overcome the fluid viscosity untill its spun around but then it has more interia and concentrates into bands because its essentially "spooling out" ?

      I was 100% in agreement with you until I saw the horizontal test in the bowl. If the metal flakes form a region of higher rotational momentum, seems like that should mean we’d see metal force its way to the outer edge of the bowl when it stops spinning. That doesn’t seem to be happening, though. If anything it seems to collect at the center.
      Perhaps the glitter forms a region of LOWER density? That could potentially produce both the banding (if your basic explanation is correct) and the collection of glitter at the center.

    • @my_unreasonably_long_username
      @my_unreasonably_long_username 2 роки тому +2

      This is the same principle as a hydrocyclone or centrifuge operating in a gravitational field. The metal particle size distribution changes the point in the fluid they sit at when they are spun. They have different masses. They all have a downward acceleration due to gravity, but when you spin it sideways the particles are pushed outward and if you spin it fast enough you can overcome gravitation. As it spins down the particles arrange themselves into bands as similar sized particles fall at the same speed.

    The red fluid in the bowl reminded me of a museum exhibit about Jupiter’s clouds. They used a similarly glittery fluid to represent the gas. You could spin the sphere full of fluid, and I assume it would make bands like in Jupiter’s atmosphere. I was too young to remember it, though. I have also seen other exhibits using glittery fluids, but I thought this would be the most relevant.

    I went to show my kid some of your videos on magnets but was using the YT kids app. When I searched for your channel and videos nothing came up. I even tried using direct URLs in the search and that didn’t work either. So I tried other channels that are dedicated to science and the vast majority of them wouldn’t come up or only small clips posted by other people came up. So it seems that YT considers a lot of scientific content not suitable for children, which I can understand some scientific topics wouldn’t be but what I was searching for is a bit much in my opinion.
    I only let him use that app since it’s very easy for me to heavily monitor and sensor it. He is still under 10 but since I do a lot of different things in my workshop and electronics lab, his interest’s are not typical of a child his age. I try to nurture any interest (especially when it comes to engineering, science and technology) he has as long as it is not dangerous or obscene for his age.
    I do find it ridiculous that this channel, Nile Red and many others in this sphere are restricted on the kids app. Unless I’m doing something wrong, this seems a bit ridiculous.

      for 2 reasons, one, chemistry and science are often dangerous. and two, when making UA-cam videos, you can either make them "for kids" OR "not for kids" there are no other options. if you select "for kids" it will get a fairly small adult audience, so mostly just kids. and I believe it will not allow comments. this is very impractical for a thriving UA-cam channel that gets lots of views from adults. I would have to say that this is UA-cam's fault, its not providing any other options.

    As for the rotating bottles, I think its probably the momentum of the fluid because of the rotation, the bottle stopped but the fluid inside is a separate mass (and obviously) is liquid so it won't stop as fast as the solid container.
    Kinda like why if you spin around yourself and then stop you'll feel dizzy, the fluid in your balance organ in the ears continue to spin, causing mixed signals that confuse the brain.

    • @Speeder84XL

      That don't fully explain the swirling glitter effect though - but is indeed a part of the explanation. When the container stops, the liquid next to the glas surface stopps before the liquid further in (due to the friction/adhesion), which causes small wirlpools to form inside the liquid - which in turn collects the glitter in some spots where pressure is lower and also makes the particles rotate, creating the effect. In the bowl, the liquid next to the large bottom also slows down faster than the liquid above, causing a different effect.
      It's very obvious at 3:50 when i pours more liquid in into the bowl, that wirlpools and high/low pressure zones is creating the effect - because the glitter effect exactly follows the expected current pattern around the stream of liquid coming down.

As a ceramic artist you learn VERY quickly the importance of wearing a particle mask and washing your hands when mixing/applying oxides in glazes and unfritted stains, before eating, drinking, smoking, or picking your nose. Copper makes gorgeous electric blues with lithium, strontium, barium flux, turquoise with other alkalis, non-foodsafe emerald green with lead, and in a reduction fire (with a dash of tin oxide) you get a deep oxblood red. Would love to play around with colloidal gold as a colorant.

    The tangent about the glitter drinks is really interesting! A science center near me used to have a big sphere filled with liquid like this, with instructions to get it spinning and stop it suddenly. The fluid would start with uniform rotational velocity, but when stopped, the fluid would be moving across the plastic shell of the sphere much more quickly at the equator than the poles, so it would start slowing down at different rates. Horizontal bands would form of fluid moving at different speeds, with swirling vortices in between. It was really cool! I think the sign beside it mentioned the coriolis effect and related it to the formation of hurricanes on Earth and the bands on Jupiter.

    Just a theory, but the effect caused by spinning the glitter wine could be because it is amplifying imperfections in the bottle or container. If you look very closely at a bottle, you can see ripples along the circumference on the inside from blowing the bottle during manufacturing.. The glitter is likely being slung into the "lows" of these ripples through centrifugal forces, and forming more reflective spots. Likely the same thing is happening with the bowl, but instead amplifying the bottom/sides imperfections combined. It would be very interesting to see if this theory is true!
