This video is definitely a bit out there lol, but the idea popped into my mind and I wanted to see what would happen. Future episodes will definitely have more physics/engineering theory. Thanks for watching!
This was actually great content, this video popped up on tik tok under some random user and it made me want to find the channel to see the rest. I would have loved to see the actual number for the bowl to completely flush in a more expected fashion. I think the bizarre hypothetical with actual science and math to back it up is a great watch. Gives a myth busters vibe but more grounded.
i have been able to do it by myself. only once but i did it. so this is also a weird video but is it more weird that i have been able to do it? who knows
Perhaps re-do this experiment, this time ensuring that the entire toilet gets siphon flushed. You could possibly dye the toilet water to ensure that the entirety of the bowl is flushed out? Additionally, I think adding a factor of the volume of each stream would be interesting, as I doubt 9 humans would pee out enough to flush the toilet (unless they have crazy huge bladders). Great video as usual! Those are just some of my thoughts, as I would love to see a follow up.
The stick didn't flush, it got pushed down and trickled out along with the water. You can do that with 1 stream too, if it's strong and you aim it well. And maybe a heavier and less buoyant stick. But there was no siphon here, so you should check if how many pumps it takes for an actual siphon to happen.
I think re do it but do it until the toilet gets a siphon flush. Which you could define by the water level getting low enough during or after the flush is complete.
yeah, while passing the stick was the defined win criterion here, that’s very different from passing actual solid waste. adding participants until the full siphon effect takes place (which I _think_ would entail filling the outflow until water reached the top of the bend?) is the true test.
@@PaulFisher I just don't think there's a way to put a censor in the top of the bend. Hence my suggestion of monitoring how low ther water in the toilet bowl gets to tell when I syphon happens.
@@Phoenix42.0 oh, I’m not suggesting putting a sensor in the pipe; I think it should be pretty obvious when a siphon-based flush takes place. I was just trying to think what specific condition in the outflow pipe *causes* the siphon to occur.
The problem with the experiment is that the stick floats. Thus, with minimal force, it can be pushed below the surface, down toward the exit and just float along the top of the water in the channel and over the spillway. No flushing action is necessary if the streams hit the stick itself. A better experiment would be a "stick" that has the same bouyancy as the item it's representing. Also, for going #1, the goal is a near complete water change, not just moving some surface water down the drain.
A great substitute for the stick is red bean paste, that's generally what's used to test toilets because the colour, texture and shape can be made similar to poo.
i think another issue is the power of the streams, being 2,25 times of what a human could produce these water in these more powerful streams maintains its momentum for a lot longer, allowing it to push the stick deeper underwater than the equivalent number of human streams could, unless they were perfectly lined up and all converged in the same spot at least i think so
Another variable to take into account is where the streams fall. If the streams fall on top of the stick, the stick gets pushed down making it easier to get flushed. However, if the streams are pointed to the sides of the bowl, the stick will have more of a swirling motion eliminating the chance that the stick is only going down due to the force of being pushed down. Another idea is to use something that doesn’t float which eliminates the issue of being pushed down altogether. By doing this, you can also simulate a piece of poop rather than the mass of diarrhea that the stick currently simulates.
Dont know if you accounted for the maximum volume in a stream. Real streams are not infinite and a bladder can be emptied in a few secs since average volume of a stream is 150ml to 250 ml and it takes an average of 20 sec to empty. So we may have to factor in the stream velocity... 🤔
I think for adults the average is more like 500 or so, and I've often broken 1000 ml after I drink a lot of water He does factor in the stream velocity when he measured his flow rate, and I don't think that letting the tubes run for 20 seconds vs 60 seconds would make much of a difference in flushing the item away
People in the 1890s: "M'lady, you can't show your ankle! It's improper!" People in the 2020s: "Bro, how many streams do we need to flush this skibidi toilet?"
@@Noah-11.21 I love how you’re calling us weird when you also clicked on this video and the original comment. Also the word you’re looking for is “in” not “of”.
You could also attempt to create flow by angling the streams and use a whirlpool in an attempt to move the water faster. This would need a couple of tests to decide the best angles but i would perform a control with only one stream and then 2-3 experiments with 1 stream as well(1. Stream aimed at water on left side of bowl. 2. Stream aimed at left side of bowl above the water line. Etc.) from personal experience i believe a 30-45 degree angle and point of impact to the left rear of the water surface to be the best at acheiving this goal.
One major factor has to be the material being flushed. You're flushing a small stick, which is also buoyant. According to the cross section diagram, as long as the stick makes it under the first loop, it'll float up and out the back by itself. The average poop will not follow that movement. This is why modern toilets have eco flush and larger flushes for different use cases. An eco flush will definitely get rid of all liquid and some small solid objects but no more. I think to fully replicate a proper average flush from a non-fancy toilet, you'd need to have the streams be able to flush something of the same density/weight as an average poop.
love the idea, I feel like 4 tubes got the win due to the log being pushed down by the streams in a way, maybe if you make them hit the bowl like a quasi-gentleman at night the results would change
This is so weird but I’ve actually wondered this very question and a few weeks ago I actually tried researching online. Though I was thinking it might be possible to generate a flush if the streams were going to same direction, causing the water to spin clockwise or counter clockwise. It’s possible to hit the side of the toilet just before the waterline to cause it to rotate so it makes sense to me that rotational force would be a better way than trying from the sheer pressure of the stream.
This video is definitely a bit out there lol, but the idea popped into my mind and I wanted to see what would happen. Future episodes will definitely have more physics/engineering theory. Thanks for watching!
The entire bowl empties(an obvious flush occurs) is a better criteria.
