Smashing Glass Vacuum Chambers


hey what’s up guys welcome back I

hey what’s up guys welcome back I brought you out to the Arizona desert

brought you out to the Arizona desert

brought you out to the Arizona desert again it’s a little bit cold and windy

again it’s a little bit cold and windy

again it’s a little bit cold and windy today but that’s okay because we are

today but that’s okay because we are

today but that’s okay because we are here for the view now we found a

here for the view now we found a

here for the view now we found a location where apparently it’s okay to

location where apparently it’s okay to

location where apparently it’s okay to break glass and that’s a good thing

break glass and that’s a good thing

break glass and that’s a good thing because I have a potentially

because I have a potentially

because I have a potentially deconstructive experiment that I don’t

deconstructive experiment that I don’t

deconstructive experiment that I don’t want to try with this glass vacuum

want to try with this glass vacuum

want to try with this glass vacuum chamber I got the idea of using a glass

chamber I got the idea of using a glass

chamber I got the idea of using a glass cookie jar for my cousin Kai Moser but

cookie jar for my cousin Kai Moser but

cookie jar for my cousin Kai Moser but there was a concern that they could

there was a concern that they could

there was a concern that they could implode violently so the purpose of this

implode violently so the purpose of this

implode violently so the purpose of this experiment is to push the boundaries and

experiment is to push the boundaries and

experiment is to push the boundaries and get them to go off so we can see that

get them to go off so we can see that

get them to go off so we can see that when they do implode how violent and how

when they do implode how violent and how

when they do implode how violent and how far-reaching is that shrapnel going to

far-reaching is that shrapnel going to

far-reaching is that shrapnel going to be so let me show you the set up we’ve

be so let me show you the set up we’ve

be so let me show you the set up we’ve got rigged out here today

got rigged out here today

got rigged out here today the idea is to assemble the vacuum

the idea is to assemble the vacuum

the idea is to assemble the vacuum chamber and pull 25 inches of mercury to

chamber and pull 25 inches of mercury to

chamber and pull 25 inches of mercury to create the strongest vacuum that we can

create the strongest vacuum that we can

create the strongest vacuum that we can get with this system then I’m going to

get with this system then I’m going to

get with this system then I’m going to shut off the valve to keep the vacuum

shut off the valve to keep the vacuum

shut off the valve to keep the vacuum pressure turn off the pump and use a

pressure turn off the pump and use a

pressure turn off the pump and use a hammer to gently tap the side so we can

hammer to gently tap the side so we can

hammer to gently tap the side so we can test just how much force it’ll take to

test just how much force it’ll take to

test just how much force it’ll take to get the side walls to crack and make the

get the side walls to crack and make the

get the side walls to crack and make the whole system implode now normally if you

whole system implode now normally if you

whole system implode now normally if you were to put something into a container

were to put something into a container

were to put something into a container and make it explode it’ll shoot shards

and make it explode it’ll shoot shards

and make it explode it’ll shoot shards in every different direction now this is

in every different direction now this is

in every different direction now this is a little bit different because we’re

a little bit different because we’re

a little bit different because we’re sucking all the air out of the jar and

sucking all the air out of the jar and

sucking all the air out of the jar and it’s creating a vacuum pressure sucking

it’s creating a vacuum pressure sucking

it’s creating a vacuum pressure sucking everything inside if the structural

everything inside if the structural

everything inside if the structural integrity of the jar fails everything

integrity of the jar fails everything

integrity of the jar fails everything should pull in and smash in the middle

should pull in and smash in the middle

should pull in and smash in the middle I’ve also got a face shield extra layers

I’ve also got a face shield extra layers

I’ve also got a face shield extra layers of clothing and some really thick gloves

of clothing and some really thick gloves

of clothing and some really thick gloves because even if it does smash inward I

because even if it does smash inward I

because even if it does smash inward I do expect shards of glass will spray in

do expect shards of glass will spray in

do expect shards of glass will spray in every different direction so let’s suck

every different direction so let’s suck

every different direction so let’s suck out the air grab a hammer and see how

out the air grab a hammer and see how

out the air grab a hammer and see how everything turns out what does a GoPro

everything turns out what does a GoPro

everything turns out what does a GoPro do in a vacuum chamber we’re going to

do in a vacuum chamber we’re going to

do in a vacuum chamber we’re going to find that out – all right guys it’s

find that out – all right guys it’s

find that out – all right guys it’s action time and truthfully I’m a little

action time and truthfully I’m a little

action time and truthfully I’m a little bit nervous because I’m not sure what to

bit nervous because I’m not sure what to

bit nervous because I’m not sure what to expect so we’re just gonna have to jump

expect so we’re just gonna have to jump

expect so we’re just gonna have to jump in to find out that gage resin they see

in to find out that gage resin they see

in to find out that gage resin they see the gauge is rising right now we’re

the gauge is rising right now we’re

the gauge is rising right now we’re pulling about we’re coming up on 20

pulling about we’re coming up on 20

pulling about we’re coming up on 20 inches of mercury 25 inches of mercury

inches of mercury 25 inches of mercury

inches of mercury 25 inches of mercury is the highest we can go with this

is the highest we can go with this

is the highest we can go with this vacuum pump that’s the strongest vacuum

vacuum pump that’s the strongest vacuum

vacuum pump that’s the strongest vacuum we can get this one’s designed to suck

we can get this one’s designed to suck

we can get this one’s designed to suck out air conditioning units so it’s

out air conditioning units so it’s

out air conditioning units so it’s actually a very strong vacuum once it

actually a very strong vacuum once it

actually a very strong vacuum once it hits 25 inches of mercury I’m going to

hits 25 inches of mercury I’m going to

hits 25 inches of mercury I’m going to turn off the valve so it maintains

turn off the valve so it maintains

turn off the valve so it maintains vacuum pressure in the jar then I’m

vacuum pressure in the jar then I’m

vacuum pressure in the jar then I’m going to turn off the vacuum pump so it

going to turn off the vacuum pump so it

going to turn off the vacuum pump so it stops making noise and we can get the

stops making noise and we can get the

stops making noise and we can get the full effect of the implosion all right

full effect of the implosion all right

full effect of the implosion all right it looks like it’s time

it looks like it’s time

it looks like it’s time I’m not really sure how close I should

I’m not really sure how close I should

I’m not really sure how close I should be to this thing so I’m just going to

be to this thing so I’m just going to

be to this thing so I’m just going to kind of attack it from a distance and

kind of attack it from a distance and

kind of attack it from a distance and start off with some gentle taps and then

start off with some gentle taps and then

start off with some gentle taps and then see exactly what it’ll take to crack it

see exactly what it’ll take to crack it

see exactly what it’ll take to crack it and make it go off there’s a gentle tap

and make it go off there’s a gentle tap

and make it go off there’s a gentle tap let’s try that again okay it’s actually

let’s try that again okay it’s actually

let’s try that again okay it’s actually holding up pretty well I’m gonna tap it

holding up pretty well I’m gonna tap it

holding up pretty well I’m gonna tap it a little bit harder a little bit harder

a little bit harder a little bit harder

a little bit harder a little bit harder a little bit harder I think I actually

a little bit harder I think I actually

a little bit harder I think I actually chipped the glass on that one it’s still

chipped the glass on that one it’s still

chipped the glass on that one it’s still holding up I’m gonna hit it even harder

winding up there it goes and there’s

winding up there it goes and there’s like a mist of glass dust that shoots

like a mist of glass dust that shoots

like a mist of glass dust that shoots out of the top and just blows with the

out of the top and just blows with the

out of the top and just blows with the wind even if I wasn’t wearing any

wind even if I wasn’t wearing any

wind even if I wasn’t wearing any protective clothing I think I still

protective clothing I think I still

protective clothing I think I still would’ve been okay because any glass

would’ve been okay because any glass

would’ve been okay because any glass that would have come at me would be so

that would have come at me would be so

that would have come at me would be so low energy it would just bounce off it’s

low energy it would just bounce off it’s

low energy it would just bounce off it’s not much difficulty but it’s always a

not much difficulty but it’s always a

not much difficulty but it’s always a good idea to be wearing safety equipment

out my proto puddy looks like it’s

out my proto puddy looks like it’s stayed intact you can just pop that off

stayed intact you can just pop that off

stayed intact you can just pop that off and reuse it on another jar so looking

and reuse it on another jar so looking

and reuse it on another jar so looking at the damage down here guys you can see

at the damage down here guys you can see

at the damage down here guys you can see the bottom of the jar is completely

the bottom of the jar is completely

the bottom of the jar is completely annihilated there’s chunks of it over

annihilated there’s chunks of it over

annihilated there’s chunks of it over here chunks it over there and about a

here chunks it over there and about a

here chunks it over there and about a billion pieces of it over here but I am

billion pieces of it over here but I am

billion pieces of it over here but I am pretty encouraged because most of it

pretty encouraged because most of it

pretty encouraged because most of it stayed in one spot there weren’t any

stayed in one spot there weren’t any

stayed in one spot there weren’t any jagged pieces that shot out and that’s

jagged pieces that shot out and that’s

jagged pieces that shot out and that’s what I was worried about I might have to

what I was worried about I might have to

what I was worried about I might have to make a new one of these lids now because

make a new one of these lids now because

make a new one of these lids now because I ruined the finish that’s too bad I

I ruined the finish that’s too bad I

I ruined the finish that’s too bad I think it still took just as much effort

think it still took just as much effort

think it still took just as much effort to crack the sidewall as it would if it

to crack the sidewall as it would if it

to crack the sidewall as it would if it was at standard atmospheric pressure if

was at standard atmospheric pressure if

was at standard atmospheric pressure if you went to the hardware store and got

you went to the hardware store and got

you went to the hardware store and got one of those one foot concrete pavers

one of those one foot concrete pavers

one of those one foot concrete pavers and tried to smash that with a hammer I

and tried to smash that with a hammer I

and tried to smash that with a hammer I think would take about the same amount

think would take about the same amount

think would take about the same amount of force to crack that in half as I

of force to crack that in half as I

of force to crack that in half as I wouldn’t break this jar that’s just

wouldn’t break this jar that’s just

wouldn’t break this jar that’s just based on feeling that’s not scientific

based on feeling that’s not scientific

based on feeling that’s not scientific this is my opinion that was the large

this is my opinion that was the large

this is my opinion that was the large jar how will the small jar do will be

jar how will the small jar do will be

jar how will the small jar do will be able to withstand more force because

able to withstand more force because

able to withstand more force because it’s smaller let’s go find out I can’t

it’s smaller let’s go find out I can’t

it’s smaller let’s go find out I can’t tell this thing is actually working

tell this thing is actually working

tell this thing is actually working right now the LCD screen is completely

right now the LCD screen is completely

right now the LCD screen is completely shot but the red lights flashing so I’m

shot but the red lights flashing so I’m

shot but the red lights flashing so I’m going to stick it in and see if we can

going to stick it in and see if we can

going to stick it in and see if we can get another shot with a smaller vacuum

get another shot with a smaller vacuum

get another shot with a smaller vacuum chamber

already got the vacuum pump off let’s

already got the vacuum pump off let’s smash it

alright I’m going to give this one a

alright I’m going to give this one a pretty good whack here very nice very

pretty good whack here very nice very

pretty good whack here very nice very nice so every time we have a rapid

nice so every time we have a rapid

nice so every time we have a rapid decompression it seems like my GoPro

decompression it seems like my GoPro

decompression it seems like my GoPro just shuts off the LCD screen has

just shuts off the LCD screen has

just shuts off the LCD screen has imploded it’s gone completely dark and I

imploded it’s gone completely dark and I

imploded it’s gone completely dark and I can’t see anything I’m just hoping that

can’t see anything I’m just hoping that

can’t see anything I’m just hoping that we recovered some of that footage

we recovered some of that footage

we recovered some of that footage because that would be cool to see you

because that would be cool to see you

because that would be cool to see you look down here though you can see the

look down here though you can see the

look down here though you can see the proto putty gasket is popped right off

proto putty gasket is popped right off

proto putty gasket is popped right off and it’s still in really good condition

and it’s still in really good condition

and it’s still in really good condition we could just pop that onto another jar

we could just pop that onto another jar

we could just pop that onto another jar and reuse it again

and reuse it again

and reuse it again the only difference is look really

the only difference is look really

the only difference is look really closely here and you can see a very fine

closely here and you can see a very fine

closely here and you can see a very fine mist of glass dust so when this thing

mist of glass dust so when this thing

mist of glass dust so when this thing imploded it made a cloud of dust that

imploded it made a cloud of dust that

imploded it made a cloud of dust that pops out the top and covers everything I

pops out the top and covers everything I

pops out the top and covers everything I can’t tell if the ground was shaking or

can’t tell if the ground was shaking or

can’t tell if the ground was shaking or if it was just a pressure wave but the

if it was just a pressure wave but the

if it was just a pressure wave but the camera jumped there and almost look like

camera jumped there and almost look like

camera jumped there and almost look like the dirt does suck up in the bottom

the dirt does suck up in the bottom

the dirt does suck up in the bottom that’s really crazy

that’s really crazy

that’s really crazy it just kind of rises and falls in the

it just kind of rises and falls in the

it just kind of rises and falls in the same spot now since we got one more

same spot now since we got one more

same spot now since we got one more small jar left let’s switch things up a

high do I have to drop it before this

high do I have to drop it before this thing will break let’s just start off

thing will break let’s just start off

thing will break let’s just start off here at about 6 inches that was enough

here at about 6 inches that was enough

here at about 6 inches that was enough to do it haha

to do it haha

to do it haha maybe I should have started off at 6

maybe I should have started off at 6

maybe I should have started off at 6 inches that was more like a foot and it

inches that was more like a foot and it

inches that was more like a foot and it just crumbles when it hits the rock it
