Bubble Wrap in a Vacuum Chamber

hey guys I’m a welcome back to the

hey guys I’m a welcome back to the workshop today we’ve got a few different

workshop today we’ve got a few different

workshop today we’ve got a few different experiments that a ton of people have

experiments that a ton of people have

experiments that a ton of people have asked to see using our vacuum chamber

asked to see using our vacuum chamber

asked to see using our vacuum chamber none of them were quite big enough to

none of them were quite big enough to

none of them were quite big enough to make a whole video about what we’re

make a whole video about what we’re

make a whole video about what we’re gonna try combining three together and

gonna try combining three together and

gonna try combining three together and see if we get any cool results from them

see if we get any cool results from them

see if we get any cool results from them so the three things we’re gonna be

so the three things we’re gonna be

so the three things we’re gonna be trying today we’re going to try putting

trying today we’re going to try putting

trying today we’re going to try putting bubble wrap in our vacuum chamber and

bubble wrap in our vacuum chamber and

bubble wrap in our vacuum chamber and sucking all the air out see if the

sucking all the air out see if the

sucking all the air out see if the bubbles expand maybe pop we’re gonna try

bubbles expand maybe pop we’re gonna try

bubbles expand maybe pop we’re gonna try putting a watermelon in both to cut open

putting a watermelon in both to cut open

putting a watermelon in both to cut open varieties and the completely sealed up

varieties and the completely sealed up

varieties and the completely sealed up varieties obviously we are going to be

varieties obviously we are going to be

varieties obviously we are going to be using a slightly smaller water mown

using a slightly smaller water mown

using a slightly smaller water mown since a whole one will not fit in the

since a whole one will not fit in the

since a whole one will not fit in the chamber and then a large number of

chamber and then a large number of

chamber and then a large number of people also asked to see soap in the

people also asked to see soap in the

people also asked to see soap in the vacuum chamber and i wasn’t sure if they

vacuum chamber and i wasn’t sure if they

vacuum chamber and i wasn’t sure if they were asking about bar soap or dish soap

were asking about bar soap or dish soap

were asking about bar soap or dish soap so we’re gonna try both let’s get

so we’re gonna try both let’s get

so we’re gonna try both let’s get started

started

started Ivory soap in a microwave as an

Ivory soap in a microwave as an

Ivory soap in a microwave as an experiment you may have seen before it

experiment you may have seen before it

experiment you may have seen before it weirdly expands and grows like some sort

weirdly expands and grows like some sort

weirdly expands and grows like some sort of grotesque monster escaped from the

of grotesque monster escaped from the

of grotesque monster escaped from the deep so I’m going to be trying Ivory

deep so I’m going to be trying Ivory

deep so I’m going to be trying Ivory soap as our bar soap in the vacuum

soap as our bar soap in the vacuum

soap as our bar soap in the vacuum chamber

chamber

chamber there’s our Ivory soap after being

there’s our Ivory soap after being

there’s our Ivory soap after being microwaved and as soon as it cools down

microwaved and as soon as it cools down

microwaved and as soon as it cools down you can see it starts shrinking quite a

you can see it starts shrinking quite a

you can see it starts shrinking quite a bit we put this in the vacuum chamber

bit we put this in the vacuum chamber

bit we put this in the vacuum chamber we’ll see if anything happens to it

we’ll see if anything happens to it

we’ll see if anything happens to it maybe it will expand the same way it

maybe it will expand the same way it

maybe it will expand the same way it does in the microwave that’s a result of

does in the microwave that’s a result of

does in the microwave that’s a result of either the heat or the radiation hitting

either the heat or the radiation hitting

either the heat or the radiation hitting it we’ll see what happens in a vacuum

it we’ll see what happens in a vacuum

it we’ll see what happens in a vacuum chamber

chamber

chamber what’s sliding I don’t know if that

what’s sliding I don’t know if that

what’s sliding I don’t know if that counts as a result but it’s moving a

counts as a result but it’s moving a

counts as a result but it’s moving a little bit

little bit

little bit that could just be the vibration from

that could just be the vibration from

that could just be the vibration from the pump running

nope I’m gonna say that a bar of soap in

nope I’m gonna say that a bar of soap in a vacuum I’m not excited just to walk

a vacuum I’m not excited just to walk

a vacuum I’m not excited just to walk the soap and nothing happened to it

the soap and nothing happened to it

the soap and nothing happened to it alright well let’s take the soap that we

alright well let’s take the soap that we

alright well let’s take the soap that we microwaved and put that in the vacuum

microwaved and put that in the vacuum

microwaved and put that in the vacuum chamber and see if that does anything

see a little bit of movement

see a little bit of movement interestingly that movement is coming

interestingly that movement is coming

interestingly that movement is coming off of the block of soap that didn’t

off of the block of soap that didn’t

off of the block of soap that didn’t really go anywhere in the microwave the

really go anywhere in the microwave the

really go anywhere in the microwave the part that was uncooked that’s the part

part that was uncooked that’s the part

part that was uncooked that’s the part that started expanding a little bit

that started expanding a little bit

that started expanding a little bit seems to have calmed down though it’s

seems to have calmed down though it’s

seems to have calmed down though it’s not really going much more yet that was

not really going much more yet that was

not really going much more yet that was not much more exciting than our whole

not much more exciting than our whole

not much more exciting than our whole block of soap you get a little bit of

block of soap you get a little bit of

block of soap you get a little bit of expansion right down here and I bet that

expansion right down here and I bet that

expansion right down here and I bet that collapses down a little as we

collapses down a little as we

collapses down a little as we reintroduce pressure but for the most

reintroduce pressure but for the most

reintroduce pressure but for the most part that wasn’t very exciting

part that wasn’t very exciting

part that wasn’t very exciting [Music]

Ivory soap is more entertaining to just

Ivory soap is more entertaining to just put in the microwave the vacuum chamber

put in the microwave the vacuum chamber

put in the microwave the vacuum chamber doesn’t do as much our bar soap didn’t

doesn’t do as much our bar soap didn’t

doesn’t do as much our bar soap didn’t give us a great result so let’s move on

give us a great result so let’s move on

give us a great result so let’s move on to trying some dish soap let’s pour some

to trying some dish soap let’s pour some

to trying some dish soap let’s pour some off into a cup put that in the vacuum

off into a cup put that in the vacuum

off into a cup put that in the vacuum chamber see what happens now there are

chamber see what happens now there are

chamber see what happens now there are quite a few bubbles suspended in that

quite a few bubbles suspended in that

quite a few bubbles suspended in that soap so I bet those are gonna expand

soap so I bet those are gonna expand

soap so I bet those are gonna expand somewhat and we might get a nice foam

somewhat and we might get a nice foam

somewhat and we might get a nice foam effect as those bubbles grow and move

effect as those bubbles grow and move

effect as those bubbles grow and move out of the top the bubbles are moving

out of the top the bubbles are moving

out of the top the bubbles are moving they’re already expanding

a whole level of the soap is rising

a whole level of the soap is rising slightly in the cup as well

now it’s rising not so slightly which is

now it’s rising not so slightly which is rising

see how long this will keep going we’ve

see how long this will keep going we’ve got some really big bubbles down on the

got some really big bubbles down on the

got some really big bubbles down on the sides those are getting so big that

sides those are getting so big that

sides those are getting so big that they’re rupturing still got tons of tiny

they’re rupturing still got tons of tiny

they’re rupturing still got tons of tiny tiny little bubbles with room to expand

tiny little bubbles with room to expand

tiny little bubbles with room to expand I might have to add pressure back in if

I might have to add pressure back in if

I might have to add pressure back in if it gets so high that it’s gonna start

it gets so high that it’s gonna start

it gets so high that it’s gonna start filling the chamber all the way I think

filling the chamber all the way I think

filling the chamber all the way I think I am oh that was just a tiny tiny bit of

I am oh that was just a tiny tiny bit of

I am oh that was just a tiny tiny bit of air and just dropped it all down

air and just dropped it all down

air and just dropped it all down pressure barely rose even a tiniest bit

pressure barely rose even a tiniest bit

pressure barely rose even a tiniest bit I was still enough to just pop tons of

I was still enough to just pop tons of

I was still enough to just pop tons of bubbles going back up for round two I

bubbles going back up for round two I

bubbles going back up for round two I [Music]

[Music]

[Music] [Applause]

[Applause]

[Applause] suspect that I could be filling this

suspect that I could be filling this

suspect that I could be filling this thing and dropping pressure back in on

thing and dropping pressure back in on

thing and dropping pressure back in on and off for hours before I really got

and off for hours before I really got

and off for hours before I really got all of the bubbles out of the soap the

all of the bubbles out of the soap the

all of the bubbles out of the soap the soap holds bubbles so well that I don’t

soap holds bubbles so well that I don’t

soap holds bubbles so well that I don’t really think they’re ever just gonna

really think they’re ever just gonna

really think they’re ever just gonna completely disappear well we definitely

completely disappear well we definitely

completely disappear well we definitely get a good result out of the liquid soap

get a good result out of the liquid soap

get a good result out of the liquid soap there are bubbles in it and more bubbles

there are bubbles in it and more bubbles

there are bubbles in it and more bubbles form as you pull a vacuum and then those

form as you pull a vacuum and then those

form as you pull a vacuum and then those bubbles just become soap bubbles and

bubbles just become soap bubbles and

bubbles just become soap bubbles and turn into foam and it really expands

turn into foam and it really expands

turn into foam and it really expands beautifully and want to add pressure and

beautifully and want to add pressure and

beautifully and want to add pressure and it just all collapses this

it just all collapses this

it just all collapses this [Music]

[Music]

[Music] maybe that just turns back into regular

maybe that just turns back into regular

maybe that just turns back into regular soap moving on to our next experiment

soap moving on to our next experiment

soap moving on to our next experiment let’s see what happens if we take this

let’s see what happens if we take this

let’s see what happens if we take this half watermelon throw it into our

half watermelon throw it into our

half watermelon throw it into our container and suck out all the air will

container and suck out all the air will

container and suck out all the air will it do anything I don’t know

bubbles kind of forming all over the

bubbles kind of forming all over the surface of our watermelon even on the

surface of our watermelon even on the

surface of our watermelon even on the green part of the rind has a lot of

green part of the rind has a lot of

green part of the rind has a lot of juice being pulled out of that

juice being pulled out of that

juice being pulled out of that watermelon had some cracks forming too

watermelon had some cracks forming too

watermelon had some cracks forming too at this point of course a lot of the

at this point of course a lot of the

at this point of course a lot of the water that has seeped out is boiling and

water that has seeped out is boiling and

water that has seeped out is boiling and low pressure all right that definitely

low pressure all right that definitely

low pressure all right that definitely did something to our watermelon oh wow

did something to our watermelon oh wow

did something to our watermelon oh wow that changed it almost even more our

that changed it almost even more our

that changed it almost even more our vacuumed watermelon scooped a little bit

vacuumed watermelon scooped a little bit

vacuumed watermelon scooped a little bit out of this and see how it tastes

this tastes like watermelon it’s not

this tastes like watermelon it’s not really any different not noticeably I

really any different not noticeably I

really any different not noticeably I want to try this again I’ve got the

want to try this again I’ve got the

want to try this again I’ve got the other half of this watermelon let’s cut

other half of this watermelon let’s cut

other half of this watermelon let’s cut it in half again so we have more exposed

it in half again so we have more exposed

it in half again so we have more exposed surface area and then I’ll also keep a

surface area and then I’ll also keep a

surface area and then I’ll also keep a piece of it cut off so we can compare

piece of it cut off so we can compare

piece of it cut off so we can compare our before and we’re after a a lot of

our before and we’re after a a lot of

our before and we’re after a a lot of bubbling going on it doesn’t look like

bubbling going on it doesn’t look like

bubbling going on it doesn’t look like it’s changing a whole lot at this point

it’s changing a whole lot at this point

it’s changing a whole lot at this point though without dark that turned it’s

though without dark that turned it’s

though without dark that turned it’s pretty impressive so it doesn’t look

pretty impressive so it doesn’t look

pretty impressive so it doesn’t look incredibly changed for the most part it

incredibly changed for the most part it

incredibly changed for the most part it still just looks like a watermelon some

still just looks like a watermelon some

still just looks like a watermelon some of the colors I think we definitely have

of the colors I think we definitely have

of the colors I think we definitely have some darker richer shades of red and

some darker richer shades of red and

some darker richer shades of red and maybe even it’s brought out a little bit

maybe even it’s brought out a little bit

maybe even it’s brought out a little bit more of the white to give it a higher

more of the white to give it a higher

more of the white to give it a higher contrast so here’s our vacuum tank with

contrast so here’s our vacuum tank with

contrast so here’s our vacuum tank with water on

[Music]

[Music] vacuum chambers water

mostly the same I think we can see a

mostly the same I think we can see a little bit more fiber on the inside of

little bit more fiber on the inside of

little bit more fiber on the inside of the one that we’ve run through the

the one that we’ve run through the

the one that we’ve run through the vacuum chamber a little bit less on the

vacuum chamber a little bit less on the

vacuum chamber a little bit less on the other side let’s do a taste test non

other side let’s do a taste test non

other side let’s do a taste test non vacuumed regular watermelon vacuum

vacuumed regular watermelon vacuum

vacuumed regular watermelon vacuum bottle

I can’t tell the difference it’s the

I can’t tell the difference it’s the same thing so it’s doing something I

same thing so it’s doing something I

same thing so it’s doing something I think it’s just not doing a lot as one

think it’s just not doing a lot as one

think it’s just not doing a lot as one final watermelon test let’s take a whole

final watermelon test let’s take a whole

final watermelon test let’s take a whole sealed up watermelon put that in and

sealed up watermelon put that in and

sealed up watermelon put that in and pull a vacuum and see if it does

pull a vacuum and see if it does

pull a vacuum and see if it does anything I rather doubt there will be a

anything I rather doubt there will be a

anything I rather doubt there will be a pressure difference great enough for the

pressure difference great enough for the

pressure difference great enough for the watermelon to crack or start leaking or

watermelon to crack or start leaking or

watermelon to crack or start leaking or anything like that but there’s only one

anything like that but there’s only one

anything like that but there’s only one way to be sure all right pulling the

way to be sure all right pulling the

way to be sure all right pulling the vacuum on a whole watermelon three two

vacuum on a whole watermelon three two

vacuum on a whole watermelon three two one

I don’t see any cracks or leaks or spots

I don’t see any cracks or leaks or spots where it’s popping open pretty much the

where it’s popping open pretty much the

where it’s popping open pretty much the same to me one other test though is I’m

same to me one other test though is I’m

same to me one other test though is I’m gonna open the valve that lets all the

gonna open the valve that lets all the

gonna open the valve that lets all the pressure flood in really quickly and

pressure flood in really quickly and

pressure flood in really quickly and we’ll see if there’s any movement

we’ll see if there’s any movement

we’ll see if there’s any movement maybe the watermelon has grown slightly

maybe the watermelon has grown slightly

maybe the watermelon has grown slightly as the depressurized around it let’s see

as the depressurized around it let’s see

as the depressurized around it let’s see if it shrinks at all when I put the

if it shrinks at all when I put the

if it shrinks at all when I put the pressure back in oh it did it did shrink

pressure back in oh it did it did shrink

pressure back in oh it did it did shrink it’s not a big change it doesn’t do

it’s not a big change it doesn’t do

it’s not a big change it doesn’t do anything really crazy but the watermelon

anything really crazy but the watermelon

anything really crazy but the watermelon definitely does grow in the vacuum and

definitely does grow in the vacuum and

definitely does grow in the vacuum and then shrink when we put the pressure

then shrink when we put the pressure

then shrink when we put the pressure back in so I think that’s pretty fun

back in so I think that’s pretty fun

back in so I think that’s pretty fun suppose now we got to crack it open and

suppose now we got to crack it open and

suppose now we got to crack it open and see if it looks any different I bet it

see if it looks any different I bet it

see if it looks any different I bet it won’t how surprising it looks like a

won’t how surprising it looks like a

won’t how surprising it looks like a watermelon I don’t really have a good

watermelon I don’t really have a good

watermelon I don’t really have a good sense of how much of this to use but I

sense of how much of this to use but I

sense of how much of this to use but I don’t know that looks Wow looks like a

don’t know that looks Wow looks like a

don’t know that looks Wow looks like a pretty good amount it’s just a small

pretty good amount it’s just a small

pretty good amount it’s just a small piece we’ll probably move on to doing

piece we’ll probably move on to doing

piece we’ll probably move on to doing larger pieces later but to start out

larger pieces later but to start out

larger pieces later but to start out we’ll use that I think that’ll really

we’ll use that I think that’ll really

we’ll use that I think that’ll really let us see what’s going on with Mitch

let us see what’s going on with Mitch

let us see what’s going on with Mitch individual bubble all right here goes

it all tightened up as the bubbles like

it all tightened up as the bubbles like really filled their spot oh I think a

really filled their spot oh I think a

really filled their spot oh I think a couple of them have started leaking

and they’re all gone every single one is

and they’re all gone every single one is popped all right that was really

popped all right that was really

popped all right that was really entertaining now let’s just try putting

entertaining now let’s just try putting

entertaining now let’s just try putting a whole bunch of what we’re wrapping and

a whole bunch of what we’re wrapping and

a whole bunch of what we’re wrapping and once and see what happens in this piece

once and see what happens in this piece

once and see what happens in this piece of the sheet pop them all ha ha ha ha

[Music]

[Music] while they’re all going off really fast

while they’re all going off really fast

while they’re all going off really fast like that it kind of sounds like popcorn

like that it kind of sounds like popcorn

like that it kind of sounds like popcorn popping in a frying pan or something

I think that’s it I think they’ve all

I think that’s it I think they’ve all popped

it’s probably the most efficient way to

it’s probably the most efficient way to waste large bubble-wrap just pops every

waste large bubble-wrap just pops every

waste large bubble-wrap just pops every single one try like this half a little

single one try like this half a little

single one try like this half a little roll squish that down in there now this

roll squish that down in there now this

roll squish that down in there now this is rolled up tight so I don’t know what

is rolled up tight so I don’t know what

is rolled up tight so I don’t know what its gonna do because the bubbles don’t

its gonna do because the bubbles don’t

its gonna do because the bubbles don’t have as much space to expand let’s find

have as much space to expand let’s find

have as much space to expand let’s find out

Oh tearing at the seams

Oh tearing at the seams [Music]

[Music]

[Music] the roll is pulled itself open this

the roll is pulled itself open this

the roll is pulled itself open this bubble wrap roll comes perforated so you

bubble wrap roll comes perforated so you

bubble wrap roll comes perforated so you can separate off just sheets about one

can separate off just sheets about one

can separate off just sheets about one foot long and the pressure has just

foot long and the pressure has just

foot long and the pressure has just ripped it along those perforations

ripped it along those perforations

ripped it along those perforations alright I think once you get to that

alright I think once you get to that

alright I think once you get to that pressure it’s just about all gone well

pressure it’s just about all gone well

pressure it’s just about all gone well there you have it bubble wrap watermelon

there you have it bubble wrap watermelon

there you have it bubble wrap watermelon and a couple of types of soap in a

and a couple of types of soap in a

and a couple of types of soap in a vacuum chamber we got some fairly fun

vacuum chamber we got some fairly fun

vacuum chamber we got some fairly fun reactions the bubble wrap all expanded

reactions the bubble wrap all expanded

reactions the bubble wrap all expanded and then popped the watermelon just kind

and then popped the watermelon just kind

and then popped the watermelon just kind of leaked a little bit of juice the bar

of leaked a little bit of juice the bar

of leaked a little bit of juice the bar soap wasn’t very exciting but the liquid

soap wasn’t very exciting but the liquid

soap wasn’t very exciting but the liquid soap really foamed and bubbled up quite

soap really foamed and bubbled up quite

soap really foamed and bubbled up quite a bit every one of these experiments
