  • In this video I combine Robert Boyle's self flowing flask with Polyethylene Gycol, the self pouring or self siphoning liquid in order to attempt a perpetual motion flow system. I make the internet version of Boyle's flask to attempt this then I show the neat properties of the polyethylene glycol. Then talk about how perpetual motion is actually possible with superfluids.

    You're doing it wrong, you have to place the orange portal at the lowest point, and the blue portal up at the top of the cup. That should solve your problem. While liquid helium has no viscosity, it's still affected by gravity, so going up a tube would still require either power or a syphon effect to work.

    • @TheActionLab
      @TheActionLab  7 лет назад +27

      +Eugene S yes liquid helium is affected by gravity but it has a strange property called superflow where it always climbs up its container walls against gravity. It is usually attributed to "wetting" as opposed to 0 viscosity. But it is currently not understood how or why liquid helium climbs its containers against gravity. So in this case the liquid helium could climb the walls of the tube and drop back into the original cup. If you are unsure if that would work then you could always dip the tube back in the liquid once it is flowing and then it would flow for sure because gravity doesn't effect it in a closed pressure loop.

    • @unknownprofile8909
      @unknownprofile8909 7 лет назад +6

      true liquid helium would work in theory however keeping helium liquid for a significant amount of time is really hard it would turn to gas and stop pretty fast unless you were putting energy in(well technically taking it out since it needs to be cold but you know what I mean), and if it stops it is not perpetual there are lots of ways to make it work temporarily although I don`t remember them all, for instance I think some beers actually do work for a couple seconds if they are really bubbly ones until the beer goes flat or something like that.

      No. You have to have the liquid nitrogen, along with helium which is frozen. (you can freeze helium now)
      After that, you can enter the 4th dimension, and there you can see some quantum slimes.
      If you touch one of them, you might get an effect, called "Huehue Effect", where you will actually enter the 5th dimension.

    Capillary action depends on the diameter of the tube though. The larger the diameter, the smaller the effect. Couldn't you just increase the diameter of the tube at the end? This would spread the liquid out over a larger area and surface tension wouldn't be enough to resist the weight of the liquid, causing it to flow downward. It probably wouldn't work but it'd still be fun to watch. Someone should really make a model and demonstrate this irl.

    • @SpaghettiToaster
      @SpaghettiToaster 6 лет назад

    • @bobfortewsevin4711
      @bobfortewsevin4711 6 лет назад +23

      So you're saying you need to decrease the capillary force enough so it can't resist gravity correct? Then the liquid will flow down in to the cup right? Wrong.
      If, as you say, the capillary force is not sufficient to overcome gravity, then the liquid will not be able to be pulled up the tube in the first place.
      By definition this machine cannot work. Either the capillary force is stronger meaning the liquid won't leave the tube, or gravity is stronger meaning the liquid won't go up the tube.

      +Bob ForTewSevin I think you misunderstood. In the original Boyle's Flask experiment, the liquid is indeed pulled up by capillary forces up the curve but the same capillary forces hold the water together and prevent it from flowing out the other side. Which is why I suggested that perhaps enlarging the tube beyond that point would cause the stuck water to fall downward. This is very difficult to explain via text. Which is why someone should really do it irl.

    • @hongnhantran1178
      @hongnhantran1178 6 лет назад

      Feynstein 100 if you increase the tube diameter, the flow velocity will decrease and vice versa. In both case, the total volume go out from the tube is constant with time. You will get the same result with his experiment.

    Can’t you use a longer hose where the length of hose that is pointing downward into the flask has a greater volume of fluid than the rest of the vessel (probably have to coil that section). Then use vacuum pressure by putting your thumb on the end before the pour.
    The tricky part is keeping the displacing air out of the tube. I think you have to overwhelm it with pressure.

    Few things I would like to point out..
    Liquid Helium is not Super fluid. Practically if you cool Liquid Helium (4.2 K) to around 2.1 K one of the isotopes of Helium HE4 present in Liquid helium acts like as a super fluid.
    Even if you use Super fluid this might not work. The Super fluid might climb the tube in for a thin layer, but will then climb out and still stick to the outside of your flask instead of falling down. Eventually all of the liquid helium will climb out of the system instead of your fountain effect.
