@@EdiblePlutonium Actually, that reminds me of something funny: If you look at the thermodynamic behavior of systems with “negative temperature”, they’re “hotter” than systems with positive temperature, with small absolute negative values being the hottest. The conclusion drawn from this is that thermodynamic beta, which is just the reciprocal of temperature scaled by the Boltzmann constant, is a more physically “fundamental” concept than temperature itself, in some sense. What this means is that it’s more accurate to say that you let the cold in than letting the heat out. Take that out of your null pipe and smoke it.
I really appreciate the conversation on pedantry in physics. As a physics educator myself, I come across this all the time (both with students and with colleagues) and you've very eloquently explained why it's okay to use slightly inaccurate descriptions in some cases. I will definitely be using your "usefulness" comparison in the future!
We've been doing exactly this with "the flow" of electricity too, for 124 years (that's how long we've known ot actually flows from negative to positive). In the physics and RnD side of things this is very important. To most on-site technicians it rarely is.
@@pr0xZen Does electricity even flow through a wire at all? I was pretty sure it technically traveled in the form of electromagnetic fields around the wire, but that's a pedantic and none helpful way of talking about it for most situations.

It would be much better if you only had a small secret chamber and one murder hole to cover up. Needing to fill the teapot through the murderholes makes it super awkward to use, it would work much better if you just had a tiny container for the poison and just mixed it in to the bulkier liquid as required, with most of it just being a regular teapot with the detachable lid and everything. Plus, this way it doubles as an actual teapot you can just use whenever.
Alternatively, have left/right chambers instead of top/bottom that you can fill via removing the lid (that seals properly) Then just move the location of the holes to accomodate this (so on the top left/right of the handle for instance)
Or would that more accurately be the NON-murder hole, since you cover it to pour the safe drink? Also, if the poison is clear, you don't need to worry about the colors matching.
For all of you “what if I cover the wrong hole” folks out there, the bottom hole is not intended to be covered during “normal” use. Always put poison on top and tea on the bottom, reason being the top hole is more ergonomically viable to cover than the bottom. As the poison and tea will mix together in your victim’s cup automatically when you pour them out together, you only need to cover the top hole when serving yourself. I hope it makes sense.
Adding another reason to always use the top for normal. In every clear pot demonstration you can see some of the top liquid flowing back up the spout and into the bottom after the first pour.
However, isn’t that SUPER risky? Should poison be in the top layer, each time you finish pouring, some amount of poison would easily just flow from the tip back to the normal drink in the layer below. So i think its safer to put the poison in the bottom layer

A video about a poison teapot got 7 million people's attention in 6 days. I'd keep an eye out the next time someone offers me tea from their new kettle.
4:40 THANK YOU- I remember in middle school the science teacher talking about cold air pushing the warm air up- then one day the head of the science department was subbing and a student said "hot air doesn't rise- it is pushed up" and the 'sub' goes "sure- but does the hot air not rise." Same thing with people getting hung up on cold objects "transferring cold" in the conduction sense- fine but it is a relative term- but when talking about convection it is back to the same deal with the "rising" air.
I most certainly did write it down. I like cream in my coffee, my mom likes hers black. An assassin's tea pot would allow me to pour both from one pot. I'm going make one now, but with a double wall with a vacuum in the middle chamber to insulate the cream from the coffee so it doesn't get too warm and curdle.
"Hanging up" the cell phone was hilarious. Whacking a clever teapot in a blanket to find out what's inside--fantastic! I smashed a towel-wrapped Magic 8 Ball with a brick when I was a kid, because how in the world did it answer all those questions, anyway? I had to wash the towel before my mother got back from town.
considering that there are only 2 holes per container, one of them being in the spout, and the other one being small enough to cover with a vinger. i imagine it is hell to actually fill it up (you are bound to lose some liquid due to having to put the teapot upside down?), let alone clean it after there has been hot/warm creamer inside, i agree it would be cool tough. maybe if the design would be changed, and there would be a bigger hole with room for your hands to fit in (for cleaning), that can be closed with a sillicone gasket, it might work. seems like a lot of efford for a partytrick tough. also i dont think gaskets with that size can withstand too much wear and tear..

When I was a child, I saw a TV show, where they were serving the audience any drink they wanted, from the same jug. I have always been puzzled how that worked, and could never find clips of it online. Now I know, they probably used something like this!
@@fear7356 I took honors physics in high school and all I remember is building a trebuchet. Real world knowledge right there. I would’ve rather learned how to poison people😂
so basically when you’re a kid and you’re drinking through a straw and you put your thumb over the hole to stop it from falling out so you can, for no reason at all, pull the straw out and let it leak out from the bottom into your mouth. Except for, let’s say, this straw is divided vertically down the middle, and this process repeated, covering both holes, one, or none. Genius.
@@NoThankUBeQuiet my friend who used to work in a cocktail bar would do this in people's drinks to make sure he'd mixed them properly. You could pretend you're doing that 😉😂
"This doesn't require you spend the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder, works straight off the bat, no preparation required" That reference was gold
That discussion of the "flow of cold" and the idea of "suction" reminded me of an article I read a few years ago where the author proposed there were no such thing as photons, and that when you turn on a torch it causes "darkons" to be sucked out of the object being illuminated. It was a fun thought experiment.
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." - Terry Pratchett
@@AndorianBlues I've never ran the math but apparently if you project a shadow from Earth onto the Moon, that distance is a big enough "lever" where you can get the shadow moving faster than the speed of light without too much effort. It is a fun perspective.
@MCSteve the problem is ste stadow is not moving. Or similarly, it you pointed a laser to the Moon, it would not be the laser dot moving. It would be photons moving from us to the moon, creating an illusion of the movement of the shadow/dot on the moon. I.e. you can't transmit information this way faster than light. The information goes from us to different spot on moon, but not from point a on moon to point B on moon.
@@panda4247 I think you're misunderstanding the point of this. This whole thread is just pointing out the property of absence. The projection of shadow is like a lever. When I said "without too much effort" I mean moving the laser or whatever light source about a point of rotation. This example does not have to be light, it can be the intersection of two angled edges. The point of intersection can move at a greater rate to the edges. Like shadows, intersection is an arbitrary point of interest (they're not physical), the whole phenomena is a consequence of geometry.
Oh. My. God. The 1/2 black coffee, 1/2 milk is possibly the GREATEST unintentional use for an invention EVER!!! Imagine whacking this bad boy out at an afternoon tea party and pouring one friend black coffee, and when your next friend asks for milk in their coffee, using the same jug as the black coffee, you pour milky coffee! That's like the greatest (tea) party trick ever hahaha
This is especially interesting because one of my travel mugs doesn't allow me to actually drink my tea. The liquid gets stuck at the mouth of the lid because there's no tiny air hole on the lid (like my other travel mugs have). Unintentional & undesired magic trick 😆
Assassin with ADHD: "Wait, did I cover the correct hole?" "What if I poison myself?" "Did I really poison the other liquid?" "Is this the teapot they said?" "Why does it look so strange? They might find it suspicious." "I wish I didn't apply to this..."
Pro Tip: Instead Of Using The Posion Drink, Use The Mixed Drink, It Will Still Kill Your Enemy, And It Will Taste Mostly Like Real Tea, So No Suspicious
The 2D version has a compartments above and below each other, but if you remember when he smashed the teapot, they were actually side by side. So, you'd just pour them in the top, one drink in one side and other other in the other side.
1) Just pour it in. The 2D compartmen is to simplify "how" it looks like, not "what" it looks like; the real deal has 2 chambers side by side. 2) Again, it has a lid. You're thinking about the 2D compartment, not the real deal. 3) Why would you even need to clean it for the next customer unless they want another drink? And even then why not just buy more teapots?
@Sarah Bowmer If you've developed an immunity to iocane powder, I believe the correct move is to just pull a Princess Bride and poison both cups with a normal teapot.
Where can I get one?! I have plans… No, really. I want to serve two beverages from the same teapot- like startling people by serving coffee and tea from the same pot. Or making a fruit tea in one and a black tea in the other; I like them mixed, but some only like fruit tea and some like their tea bitter. Coffee or tea in one, milk/cream in the other. What else can I mix? Definitely repeating the food coloring trick.
Here's a fun one. I have a pair of reusable water bottles that I used to use for drinking soda. However, when I first started using them for such, the soda keep going up the straws to squirt out the spouts. I found out that the lids had vents with rubber stoppers that acted like a one-way valve meant to allow air while keeping the liquid from spilling out. This was probably added to make the bottles spill-proof but it was causing the gases in my soda to be trapped and force the soda up the straws and out the spouts. I've since remove the rubber stoppers but I've also switched to using the bottles for water like they were meant to. I can image that if I had found a way to seal both the vents and the spouts with soda in them, the bottles would either explode or become pressurized like a normal soda bottle.
Imagine somebody trying to assassinate someone with this but makes the poison two different colours, so they don't accidentally drink the wrong one themselves
Also make sure that when the liquids are combined, no pesky precipitates form, always check chemical reactivity beforehand. Learned that one the hard way :)
I once read about this type of teapot in a chinese historical novel, it was kind of a wonder for me that time, since that type of teapot is available in the ancient time , it is a novel anyway, but it shows the extensive knowledge of the author

This would be great for waiters serving regular and decalf coffee. Or even with a milk hold in the middle that could be covered or uncovered with either other hole (though insulation for that part may be a problem).
@@NhiPho clearly lable the carburetors Coffee and Decaf and make the spouts the same color as normal coffee pots, black for coffee and maroon brownish for decaf. They can clearly see for themselves and see that you can clearly see for yourself also. Three chamber versions exist also, put espresso in that one and now you're really saving time
Funny thing about poison in any era ever: its kind of like a knife in 2022. It is really dangerous as a surprise but not so much if you think of it.

With a knife, state leaders today have lots of options to avoid being stabbed

Great to see you on Qi with this the other day Steve, as soon as they mentioned the assassin's teapot I thought "They really should have Steve Mould back on for this", and then moments later there you were!
That’s why you should read the instructions or use your noodles before using this, I figured it myself as people have always been saying this “wrong hole” bullshit. No you don’t need to worry about the bottom hole, it’s merely acting as a vent during normal use, you always put the poison on top and only covers the top hole when serving yourself, when serving your victim just don’t cover any hole and both the poison and tea will flow out.
Enemy: "Oh thank you, I thought there was poison in the kettle and you were about to poison me with a physic-science demonstrated kettle, where you'll have to cover up holes to give different drinks, but since you said there is no poison, I can rest and have a drink, my dude!"

@@naomigwolfe8112 Because the top chamber stayed untouched by the "poison," while the bottom chamber didn't. The "poison" leaked into the bottom chamber, making the clear choice for your safe drink in the top chamber.
This teapot reminds me of when you put your finger on one end of a straw's hole, and whatever liquid there is in the straw doesn't flow out. So basically this teapot is like having two straws with liquid in them
Cool teapot, and cool video, but I do take small issue with you saying that you're using your lungs to create the vacuum in your mouth for a straw to work.. that's one way to do it, but it's also a good way to drown. Typically when you drink with a straw, the vacuum is caused by starting with your tongue forward, filling your mouth cavity, then pulling or flexing it backward to create empty space that needs to be filled by whatever can be pushed by atmospheric pressure through the straw. You drink from a straw without moving your diaphragm at all.
'You drink through a straw without moving your diaphragm at all..." except that you are of course allowed to keep on breathing through your nose while your mouth is filling with liquid, so outside of the moments you are swallowing. #multitasking :)
Everyone’s talking about the science but I’m more interested in the history, and I can’t find anything. When was this created? Was it actually used by assassins? Or is it a modern party trick? Is it a modern party trick that’s also used by assassins?

4:40 THANK YOU- I remember in middle school the science teacher talking about cold air pushing the warm air up- then one day the head of the science department was subbing and a student said "hot air doesn't rise- it is pushed up" and the 'sub' goes "sure- but does the hot air not rise." Same thing with people getting hung up on cold objects "transferring cold" in the conduction sense- fine but it is a relative term- but when talking about convection it is back to the same deal with the "rising" air.
"you can put milk and coffee in the teapot instead and make yourself a latte"

In this case, which side is "poison" depends on caffeine sensitivity and lactose tolerance.
I most certainly did write it down. I like cream in my coffee, my mom likes hers black. An assassin's tea pot would allow me to pour both from one pot.

It can actually be useful to serve coffee, tea and milk at the same time to people instead of poisoning them
Its boring, killing people is fun.
It would be an awesome party trick
It can just serve two different liquids. The “third” is a mixture of the two.
considering that there are only 2 holes per container, one of them being in the spout, and the other one being small enough to cover with a vinger. i imagine it is hell to actually fill it up (you are bound to lose some liquid due to having to put the teapot upside down?), let alone clean it after there has been hot/warm creamer inside, i agree it would be cool tough. maybe if the design would be changed, and there would be a bigger hole with room for your hands to fit in (for cleaning), that can be closed with a sillicone gasket, it might work. seems like a lot of efford for a partytrick tough. also i dont think gaskets with that size can withstand too much wear and tear..

That discussion of the "flow of cold" and the idea of "suction" reminded me of an article I read a few years ago where the author proposed there were no such thing as photons, and that when you turn on a torch it causes "darkons" to be sucked out of the object being illuminated. It was a fun thought experiment.
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." - Terry Pratchett
@@AndorianBlues I've never ran the math but apparently if you project a shadow from Earth onto the Moon, that distance is a big enough "lever" where you can get the shadow moving faster than the speed of light without too much effort. It is a fun perspective.
@@AndorianBlues Just this morning my kid told me "When you turn off the light, its like a darkness explosion."
@MCSteve the problem is ste stadow is not moving. Or similarly, it you pointed a laser to the Moon, it would not be the laser dot moving. It would be photons moving from us to the moon, creating an illusion of the movement of the shadow/dot on the moon.
I.e. you can't transmit information this way faster than light. The information goes from us to different spot on moon, but not from point a on moon to point B on moon.
@@panda4247 I think you're misunderstanding the point of this. This whole thread is just pointing out the property of absence. The projection of shadow is like a lever. When I said "without too much effort" I mean moving the laser or whatever light source about a point of rotation.
This example does not have to be light, it can be the intersection of two angled edges. The point of intersection can move at a greater rate to the edges. Like shadows, intersection is an arbitrary point of interest (they're not physical), the whole phenomena is a consequence of geometry.

Okay, but how do you:

2) not drive attention to the fact that it's a strange lid-less pot
3) clean it for the next customer?
Asking the real questions here
u pour the liquid thru the holes dunno abt everything else tho. maybe a false lid?
The 2D version has a compartments above and below each other, but if you remember when he smashed the teapot, they were actually side by side. So, you'd just pour them in the top, one drink in one side and other other in the other side.
1) Just pour it in. The 2D compartmen is to simplify "how" it looks like, not "what" it looks like; the real deal has 2 chambers side by side.
2) Again, it has a lid. You're thinking about the 2D compartment, not the real deal.
3) Why would you even need to clean it for the next customer unless they want another drink? And even then why not just buy more teapots?

Sounds like what an assassin would say 🤨
Same im wondering where
Here's a fun one. I have a pair of reusable water bottles that I used to use for drinking soda. However, when I first started using them for such, the soda keep going up the straws to squirt out the spouts. I found out that the lids had vents with rubber stoppers that acted like a one-way valve meant to allow air while keeping the liquid from spilling out. This was probably added to make the bottles spill-proof but it was causing the gases in my soda to be trapped and force the soda up the straws and out the spouts. I've since remove the rubber stoppers but I've also switched to using the bottles for water like they were meant to. I can image that if I had found a way to seal both the vents and the spouts with soda in them, the bottles would either explode or become pressurized like a normal soda bottle.
You should put some Mentos in it for extra effect

@@tishaher7 thank you, I was wondering when it showed that in action? ^^'have a great day!

Not gonna lie this guy is too smart for me and everytime he's saying so many words my brain keeps shutting down lol Keep up the Good work!
This teapot reminds me of when you put your finger on one end of a straw's hole, and whatever liquid there is in the straw doesn't flow out. So basically this teapot is like having two straws with liquid in them
Pretty much
Thats essentially a free body diagram of assasin's teapot in hydraulics.. 😄
one with poison
If this explanation was used the video would be over in like 3 seconds lol
Cool teapot, and cool video, but I do take small issue with you saying that you're using your lungs to create the vacuum in your mouth for a straw to work.. that's one way to do it, but it's also a good way to drown. Typically when you drink with a straw, the vacuum is caused by starting with your tongue forward, filling your mouth cavity, then pulling or flexing it backward to create empty space that needs to be filled by whatever can be pushed by atmospheric pressure through the straw. You drink from a straw without moving your diaphragm at all.
Good point
See Steve's comment about usefulness lol
A video trying to make a point about pedantry gets pedant comments. As such with all things.
'You drink through a straw without moving your diaphragm at all..." except that you are of course allowed to keep on breathing through your nose while your mouth is filling with liquid, so outside of the moments you are swallowing. #multitasking :)
@@prismglider5922 what makes his comment pedantic?
Everyone’s talking about the science but I’m more interested in the history, and I can’t find anything. When was this created? Was it actually used by assassins? Or is it a modern party trick? Is it a modern party trick that’s also used by assassins?
A few sources say that it's of Chinese origin, have no idea when it was created though
I'm not sure, my family has been using one for years
@@the_tablemaster4971 ask your family and give us a update
Sounds like a ancient Chinese secret

I have been wanting one of these for having friends over with hot chocolate. Boiling water in one resevior, milk in the other, watch the confusion build.
