Why are Vacuum Chambers Measured “Inches of Mercury”


Wow right off the bat that’s pretty

Wow right off the bat that’s pretty impressive hey what’s up guys welcome

impressive hey what’s up guys welcome

what the inches of mercury mean so I

what the inches of mercury mean so I have Cody here from Cody’s lab to help

have Cody here from Cody’s lab to help

have Cody here from Cody’s lab to help me explain exactly why we measure in

me explain exactly why we measure in

me explain exactly why we measure in inches of mercury so the vacuum gauge

inches of mercury so the vacuum gauge

inches of mercury so the vacuum gauge here which is a very common type you’d

here which is a very common type you’d

here which is a very common type you’d see here in the US you see these outer

see here in the US you see these outer

see here in the US you see these outer numbers here they’re actually

numbers here they’re actually

numbers here they’re actually referencing inches of mercury mercury

referencing inches of mercury mercury

referencing inches of mercury mercury used to be used as a way to measure

used to be used as a way to measure

used to be used as a way to measure differential pressure because a heavy

differential pressure because a heavy

differential pressure because a heavy liquid and it takes a lot to pull it up

liquid and it takes a lot to pull it up

liquid and it takes a lot to pull it up the tube and it takes if you measure the

the tube and it takes if you measure the

the tube and it takes if you measure the distance you’re pulling of the tube you

distance you’re pulling of the tube you

distance you’re pulling of the tube you can know how much of a cue you have this

can know how much of a cue you have this

can know how much of a cue you have this gauge just does it without mercury now

gauge just does it without mercury now

gauge just does it without mercury now back in December I tried a project where

back in December I tried a project where

back in December I tried a project where actually built this vacuum chamber just

actually built this vacuum chamber just

actually built this vacuum chamber just using simple materials from the story in

using simple materials from the story in

using simple materials from the story in this case a glass cookie jar and I have

this case a glass cookie jar and I have

this case a glass cookie jar and I have this liquid filled gauge on the top and

this liquid filled gauge on the top and

this liquid filled gauge on the top and as we suck the air out of the jar we

as we suck the air out of the jar we

as we suck the air out of the jar we measure things in inches of mercury I

measure things in inches of mercury I

measure things in inches of mercury I got three pounds of liquid mercury right

got three pounds of liquid mercury right

got three pounds of liquid mercury right here the purest stuff I’ve had and what

here the purest stuff I’ve had and what

here the purest stuff I’ve had and what I find is really impressed about these

I find is really impressed about these

I find is really impressed about these these are very very tiny bottles be like

these are very very tiny bottles be like

these are very very tiny bottles be like an ounce of water but when you pick

an ounce of water but when you pick

an ounce of water but when you pick these things up they are impressively

these things up they are impressively

these things up they are impressively heavy it don’t drop I mean this is about

heavy it don’t drop I mean this is about

heavy it don’t drop I mean this is about 1 pound of mercury if you can imagine

1 pound of mercury if you can imagine

1 pound of mercury if you can imagine that so it’s actually it’s a little bit

that so it’s actually it’s a little bit

that so it’s actually it’s a little bit of a mind blow to feel that it feels

of a mind blow to feel that it feels

of a mind blow to feel that it feels about same weight as brass or copper

about same weight as brass or copper

about same weight as brass or copper maybe a little bit heavier so these

maybe a little bit heavier so these

maybe a little bit heavier so these bottles are actually full of dental

bottles are actually full of dental

bottles are actually full of dental mercury this is what dentists used to

mercury this is what dentists used to

mercury this is what dentists used to use to make fillings you know mix this

use to make fillings you know mix this

use to make fillings you know mix this with powdered silver push it into a

with powdered silver push it into a

with powdered silver push it into a cavity and it harden up and be

cavity and it harden up and be

cavity and it harden up and be chemically resistant and quick fix your

chemically resistant and quick fix your

chemically resistant and quick fix your tooth which is kind of mind-blowing if

tooth which is kind of mind-blowing if

tooth which is kind of mind-blowing if you think about putting mercury in your

you think about putting mercury in your

you think about putting mercury in your mouth now what would actually happen if

mouth now what would actually happen if

mouth now what would actually happen if we got mercury in our mouth would that

we got mercury in our mouth would that

we got mercury in our mouth would that be concerned as metallic mercury it’s

be concerned as metallic mercury it’s

be concerned as metallic mercury it’s actually fairly okay spit it out you’ll

actually fairly okay spit it out you’ll

actually fairly okay spit it out you’ll be fine okay

be fine okay

be fine okay it’s only when it’s dissolved into a

it’s only when it’s dissolved into a

it’s only when it’s dissolved into a solution that can be

solution that can be

solution that can be absorbed another body it’s really a

absorbed another body it’s really a

absorbed another body it’s really a problem so this is a branded argenteum

problem so this is a branded argenteum

problem so this is a branded argenteum now that’s actually the word for silver

now that’s actually the word for silver

now that’s actually the word for silver and I’m pretty sure this is just

and I’m pretty sure this is just

and I’m pretty sure this is just referencing that this is Quicksilver

referencing that this is Quicksilver

referencing that this is Quicksilver which is another name for mercury yeah I

which is another name for mercury yeah I

which is another name for mercury yeah I always thought Quicksilver had to do

always thought Quicksilver had to do

always thought Quicksilver had to do with surfing so like the shirts I used

with surfing so like the shirts I used

with surfing so like the shirts I used to wear Quicksilver but actually

to wear Quicksilver but actually

to wear Quicksilver but actually Quicksilver in a second term is mercury

Quicksilver in a second term is mercury

Quicksilver in a second term is mercury I think it’s called Quicksilver because

I think it’s called Quicksilver because

I think it’s called Quicksilver because it’s silvery in color and if you drop it

it’s silvery in color and if you drop it

it’s silvery in color and if you drop it it moves quickly a couple it moves very

it moves quickly a couple it moves very

it moves quickly a couple it moves very quickly and we don’t want to drop that

quickly and we don’t want to drop that

quickly and we don’t want to drop that today so mercury is an extremely heavy

today so mercury is an extremely heavy

today so mercury is an extremely heavy liquid it’s very dense 13 times heavier

liquid it’s very dense 13 times heavier

liquid it’s very dense 13 times heavier than water and so if you try to pull it

than water and so if you try to pull it

than water and so if you try to pull it up a tube you’ll reach a point where you

up a tube you’ll reach a point where you

up a tube you’ll reach a point where you cannot pull it up any more because you

cannot pull it up any more because you

cannot pull it up any more because you know you’re not really sucking a liquid

know you’re not really sucking a liquid

know you’re not really sucking a liquid of the tube just the atmospheric

of the tube just the atmospheric

of the tube just the atmospheric pressure pushing it up into the vacuum

pressure pushing it up into the vacuum

pressure pushing it up into the vacuum you’re creating at sea level you get

you’re creating at sea level you get

you’re creating at sea level you get about fourteen point seven pounds per

about fourteen point seven pounds per

about fourteen point seven pounds per square inch pushing down and so you

square inch pushing down and so you

square inch pushing down and so you should be able to lift the equivalent of

should be able to lift the equivalent of

should be able to lift the equivalent of 14 pounds of mercury so we have a long

14 pounds of mercury so we have a long

14 pounds of mercury so we have a long glass tube here it’s very narrow and

glass tube here it’s very narrow and

glass tube here it’s very narrow and Cody just challenged me to see if we

Cody just challenged me to see if we

Cody just challenged me to see if we could put one end into a bottle of

could put one end into a bottle of

could put one end into a bottle of mercury and suck the other end like a

mercury and suck the other end like a

mercury and suck the other end like a straw and see we could suck a hard

straw and see we could suck a hard

straw and see we could suck a hard enough to get the mercury in our mouth

enough to get the mercury in our mouth

enough to get the mercury in our mouth so that is a risk I’m willing to take

so that is a risk I’m willing to take

so that is a risk I’m willing to take for you can we suck mercury vertically

for you can we suck mercury vertically

for you can we suck mercury vertically through a tube you know a distance of

through a tube you know a distance of

through a tube you know a distance of four and a half feet so drop down to the

four and a half feet so drop down to the

four and a half feet so drop down to the comment to take a second to tell us who

comment to take a second to tell us who

comment to take a second to tell us who you think sucks more you really

[Music] alright guys a quick update these rods

alright guys a quick update these rods

alright guys a quick update these rods are a little bit too long so Kota just

are a little bit too long so Kota just

are a little bit too long so Kota just used his cool little glass cutting tool

used his cool little glass cutting tool

used his cool little glass cutting tool when we trimmed them down to about 36

when we trimmed them down to about 36

when we trimmed them down to about 36 inches or about three feet so I have one

inches or about three feet so I have one

inches or about three feet so I have one job and my only job right now is to make

job and my only job right now is to make

job and my only job right now is to make sure the bottom of this measuring stick

sure the bottom of this measuring stick

sure the bottom of this measuring stick stays level with the top of the mercury

stays level with the top of the mercury

stays level with the top of the mercury when Cody starts sucking we’re going to

when Cody starts sucking we’re going to

when Cody starts sucking we’re going to be able to measure in real inches of

be able to measure in real inches of

be able to measure in real inches of mercury how much vacuum he’s able to

mercury how much vacuum he’s able to

mercury how much vacuum he’s able to pull all right Cody you ready for this

pull all right Cody you ready for this

pull all right Cody you ready for this all right let’s see what you got

all right let’s see what you got

all right let’s see what you got Wow right off the bat that’s pretty

Wow right off the bat that’s pretty

Wow right off the bat that’s pretty impressive he’s already up to 20 so you

impressive he’s already up to 20 so you

impressive he’s already up to 20 so you got 19 inches of mercury and go any

got 19 inches of mercury and go any

got 19 inches of mercury and go any harder than that maybe if I tried really

harder than that maybe if I tried really

harder than that maybe if I tried really hard all right let’s try it again

hard all right let’s try it again

hard all right let’s try it again all right 19 inches is good it’s not

all right 19 inches is good it’s not

all right 19 inches is good it’s not that impressive you start freezing

that impressive you start freezing

that impressive you start freezing nitrogen around 22 oh there’s 22 but all

nitrogen around 22 oh there’s 22 but all

nitrogen around 22 oh there’s 22 but all we can do what do you see there 22 and

we can do what do you see there 22 and

we can do what do you see there 22 and 3/4 okay here it comes LFO bounces on

3/4 okay here it comes LFO bounces on

3/4 okay here it comes LFO bounces on the way up boom okay so at 21 22 it’s

the way up boom okay so at 21 22 it’s

the way up boom okay so at 21 22 it’s kind of bouncing there so Stuart settles

kind of bouncing there so Stuart settles

kind of bouncing there so Stuart settles out for about 21 and 3/4 how’s your

out for about 21 and 3/4 how’s your

out for about 21 and 3/4 how’s your mouth stealing Cody ah it takes a lot of

mouth stealing Cody ah it takes a lot of

mouth stealing Cody ah it takes a lot of work so I’m just like kind of pumping

work so I’m just like kind of pumping

work so I’m just like kind of pumping the air with my tongue trying to

the air with my tongue trying to

the air with my tongue trying to evacuate as much of the air out of tube

evacuate as much of the air out of tube

evacuate as much of the air out of tube as I can especially as hard as I

as I can especially as hard as I

as I can especially as hard as I possibly can and I was unable to pull

possibly can and I was unable to pull

possibly can and I was unable to pull the mercury all the way up to the vacuum

the mercury all the way up to the vacuum

the mercury all the way up to the vacuum pump that I’m using says it can pull 25

pump that I’m using says it can pull 25

pump that I’m using says it can pull 25 inches of mercury and I filled with a

inches of mercury and I filled with a

inches of mercury and I filled with a lot of the reactions I do it’s right

lot of the reactions I do it’s right

lot of the reactions I do it’s right around 22 inches of mercury that I see

around 22 inches of mercury that I see

around 22 inches of mercury that I see balloons expanding I see water boiling

balloons expanding I see water boiling

balloons expanding I see water boiling XSEDE liquid nitrogen freezing Cody got

XSEDE liquid nitrogen freezing Cody got

XSEDE liquid nitrogen freezing Cody got up to 21 it’s like almost 20 to 21 and

up to 21 it’s like almost 20 to 21 and

up to 21 it’s like almost 20 to 21 and 3/4 which actually wasn’t too bad so

3/4 which actually wasn’t too bad so

3/4 which actually wasn’t too bad so theoretically if you could suck hard

theoretically if you could suck hard

theoretically if you could suck hard enough for long enough you might be able

enough for long enough you might be able

enough for long enough you might be able to freeze liquid nitrogen like yourself

to freeze liquid nitrogen like yourself

to freeze liquid nitrogen like yourself that’s cool all right I’m going to jump

Oh whoo that was interesting though it

Oh whoo that was interesting though it felt like as I was moving the tube up

felt like as I was moving the tube up

felt like as I was moving the tube up the mercury is actually dropping back

the mercury is actually dropping back

the mercury is actually dropping back down the tube like it was jiggling even

down the tube like it was jiggling even

down the tube like it was jiggling even though I was moving yeah as you move the

rod up you know a mercury actually went

rod up you know a mercury actually went back down yeah mercury is always going

yeah career fect oh that’s amazing

yeah career fect oh that’s amazing let’s take a second to just talk about

let’s take a second to just talk about

let’s take a second to just talk about what happened there so what we saw here

what happened there so what we saw here

what happened there so what we saw here is actually pulled a vacuum above the

is actually pulled a vacuum above the

is actually pulled a vacuum above the mercury the air pressure pushed some

mercury the air pressure pushed some

mercury the air pressure pushed some retreat up the tube and we weren’t able

retreat up the tube and we weren’t able

retreat up the tube and we weren’t able to get a perfect vacuum but we were able

to get a perfect vacuum but we were able

to get a perfect vacuum but we were able to actually get a pretty decent vacuum

to actually get a pretty decent vacuum

to actually get a pretty decent vacuum we pulled the mercury of 23 something

we pulled the mercury of 23 something

we pulled the mercury of 23 something check out my tongue I was trying to hold

check out my tongue I was trying to hold

check out my tongue I was trying to hold the vacuum with my tongue it’s like

the vacuum with my tongue it’s like

the vacuum with my tongue it’s like sucking my tongue down inside I think

sucking my tongue down inside I think

sucking my tongue down inside I think it’s an interesting point it’s not

it’s an interesting point it’s not

it’s an interesting point it’s not necessarily that I was sucking the

necessarily that I was sucking the

necessarily that I was sucking the liquid up it’s just I was reducing the

liquid up it’s just I was reducing the

liquid up it’s just I was reducing the pressure and the outside air pressure

pressure and the outside air pressure

pressure and the outside air pressure was pushing the mercury back ups all

was pushing the mercury back ups all

was pushing the mercury back ups all right and since mercury is so heavy the

right and since mercury is so heavy the

right and since mercury is so heavy the distance that air pressure can push it

distance that air pressure can push it

distance that air pressure can push it up is just a couple of pieces yeah once

up is just a couple of pieces yeah once

up is just a couple of pieces yeah once you get up around there 24 25 it gets

you get up around there 24 25 it gets

you get up around there 24 25 it gets very very difficult to go any higher

very very difficult to go any higher

very very difficult to go any higher like what would you consider a perfect

like what would you consider a perfect

like what would you consider a perfect vacuum in inches of mercury so at this

vacuum in inches of mercury so at this

vacuum in inches of mercury so at this altitude we’re not at sea level right

altitude we’re not at sea level right

altitude we’re not at sea level right now 25 inches of mercury would be about

now 25 inches of mercury would be about

now 25 inches of mercury would be about a certain vacuum if you’re at sea level

a certain vacuum if you’re at sea level

a certain vacuum if you’re at sea level would be about 29 that’s really

would be about 29 that’s really

would be about 29 that’s really interesting because when you think about

interesting because when you think about

interesting because when you think about it the closer you get to sea level the

it the closer you get to sea level the

it the closer you get to sea level the more atmosphere you have pressing down

more atmosphere you have pressing down

more atmosphere you have pressing down and so when you reduce the atmosphere

and so when you reduce the atmosphere

and so when you reduce the atmosphere inside the tube there’s actually more

inside the tube there’s actually more

inside the tube there’s actually more pressure to push it up so at sea level

pressure to push it up so at sea level

pressure to push it up so at sea level 29 inches of mercury might be close to

29 inches of mercury might be close to

29 inches of mercury might be close to perfect vacuum and our altitude here

perfect vacuum and our altitude here

perfect vacuum and our altitude here it’s closer to 25 so that’s very

it’s closer to 25 so that’s very

it’s closer to 25 so that’s very interesting that by sucking it by mouth

interesting that by sucking it by mouth

interesting that by sucking it by mouth we can actually approach very very

we can actually approach very very

we can actually approach very very closely to those numbers however that

closely to those numbers however that

closely to those numbers however that last inch of mercury is kind of where

last inch of mercury is kind of where

last inch of mercury is kind of where all the magic happens now we’re going to

all the magic happens now we’re going to

all the magic happens now we’re going to hook the vacuum pump up and see how high

hook the vacuum pump up and see how high

hook the vacuum pump up and see how high the vacuum pump can pull the mercury

the vacuum pump can pull the mercury

the vacuum pump can pull the mercury when I bought this vacuum pump here it

when I bought this vacuum pump here it

when I bought this vacuum pump here it claims to be able to do 25 inches of

claims to be able to do 25 inches of

claims to be able to do 25 inches of mercury which we read on our gauge all

mercury which we read on our gauge all

mercury which we read on our gauge all the time so we’re put that to the test

the time so we’re put that to the test

the time so we’re put that to the test with real mercury and real inches and

second Kody sucked the mercury up almost

second Kody sucked the mercury up almost 22 inches of mercury I got almost to 24

22 inches of mercury I got almost to 24

22 inches of mercury I got almost to 24 and I think this elevation a full vacuum

and I think this elevation a full vacuum

and I think this elevation a full vacuum would be somewhere around 25 little more

would be somewhere around 25 little more

would be somewhere around 25 little more than 25 we’ve got this way up to 26 – is

than 25 we’ve got this way up to 26 – is

than 25 we’ve got this way up to 26 – is that really accurate both the air

that really accurate both the air

that really accurate both the air pressure is high you know it’s this nice

pressure is high you know it’s this nice

pressure is high you know it’s this nice day then the pressure will be higher and

day then the pressure will be higher and

day then the pressure will be higher and the mercury will go a lot more fact

the mercury will go a lot more fact

the mercury will go a lot more fact that’s how barometers work and to go

that’s how barometers work and to go

that’s how barometers work and to go over to my channel that was a little

what we saw is the machine actually

what we saw is the machine actually sucks about an inch or two of mercury

sucks about an inch or two of mercury

sucks about an inch or two of mercury more than we do but what’s interesting

more than we do but what’s interesting

more than we do but what’s interesting is that inch or two makes all the

Mercury’s in the old thermometers is

Mercury’s in the old thermometers is because it’s such a dense metal so it

really light metal like aluminum your

really light metal like aluminum your thermometer would have to be like ten

thermometer would have to be like ten

thermometer would have to be like ten times bigger

times bigger

times bigger yeah like the old alcohol thermometers

yeah like the old alcohol thermometers

yeah like the old alcohol thermometers actually had a spiral because out
