      pipe cleaners exist, just need the right diameter for the core and bristles. also could snake a nylon/stainless steel/other flexible thread through so you can pull and push the pipe cleaner. the inside of the handle being smooth would help prevent it from getting caught. not impossible, but it is extra work. somtimes you only need hot water and soap if you don't put some types of fluids in it. if a pebble got stuck in it, then yeah it would be practically impossible to get out. Only solution for that would be to put a filter on the inlet and outlets as prevention.

    At 4:48 you said "Water pressure doesn't change depending on the width, only the depth." Which I understand and agree. I am curious how pressure behaves in cone shapes of various angles, but filled so the water level height is identical. Would steeper sides lead to increased pressure? Or does it not make a difference at all? Examples: The conical paper cups used at water coolers, but larger like a cone automotive funnel with out the nipple/pipe extension on the bottom. I would assume it doesn't make a difference but could still be fun to show the math behind it. Also, you remind me of what Gene Wilder would've been like if was born 50 years later and decided to be an engineer in California.

    Most math guys would say that the graph doesn't go negative.

      @@BenRichards7 Nobody said anything about getting more energy out of this system than we put in, we aren't building a perpetual motion machine, we are just trying to get salt free water. You'd still be putting about 300 joules in (30% efficient pump to lift with 100J) and the water falling back down could run a generator but also at 30% efficiency, so you get 33J back out. So we lost 267J to inefficiency. Realisticvally there would be no generator back down and we'd lose all 300J. But if it's way better than losing 330,000 joules, it's an improvement for making salt free water. Not for making a generator.
      I might be missing something, but more efficient ways to do a thing that still sue energy but less of it are commonplace. For example using a catalyst to speed a chemical reaction and at a lower than normal temperature. Or having a counterweight in an elevator (still lose energy to friction but way less than if you brute forced it with no counterweight)

      I've been thinking of this for a long time.
      While he energy input is purely physical and can be done manually, there is a significant gap in this process. That is removing supersaturared feedstock. The point where the water boils would quickly become clogged with salt crystals and need the whole system draining and cleaning.

And you always feel obligated to finish what you poured, so with multiple pours you can decide that you actually don't want any more.

      @RUclipsdeletedmycomment most fast food and convenience stores can confirm this. Greedy people have no shame about popping back in for another free refill on their small drink that only cost 20 cents less than the large. That's why many of these places stopped offering refills or give hard limits; even if the item is cheap, it's a waste of time for employees either answering questions, and cleaning up after more frequent spills and dribbles.

If you've ever had to stock for one of those drink fountains for a restaurant you'd know that the only thing you really pay for when you get a fountain drink is the cup, and the cups are extremely cheap. One drink will pay for the entire operation of the fountain for the day, unless the relative prices have shifted significantly in the last 15 years.

  • @qazwer001
    @qazwer001 4 месяца назад +3

    3:40 I think it will initially work until enough water is drained to where the pressure reaches 0.03 atmospheres at the top then the siphon will work slower possibly gurgling and eventually stop. I think the siphon tube will not empty though, I think it will keep water in it as water tension will prevent air bubbles entering from the bottom(to a point) exactly like a straw that you trap water in with your finger, if you turn the straw sideways it will drain but until then the water stays trapped, even with an air bubble above the water line
    EDIT: HAHA! I was correct! at 7:04 you can clearly see there is still water in the siphon pipe!

    I'm curious, ...it would seem that the volume and weight of the "fluid" in the "cup" would also potentially play a factor, too, beyond "amospheric pressure", (one amosphere, on Earth, = 15psi, at sea-level). If this isn't the case, then why??? 🤔🤔🤔
    (The reason I said "fluid" is while water is used in you example, there are many fluids that are less, (or more), dense. And, there are also fluids greater, (or lesser) in weight. So, it would be interesting to explore how and if they would change the outcome.
