Ever heard about "The Tortoise and the Hare" story? The truth might not spread as fast, but its shoes will eventually allow it to reach much much further
@let's talk about George Floyd's Toxic Masculinity Means so much less in an era where "lie" is equivalent to "anything I don't want to hear." Traditional conservatism doesn't really exist anymore in the US (at least not in the Republican party where everyone thinks it should be. The closest thing to traditional conservatives in the US these days is the so-called "establishment" Democrats.)
I've been breaking bottles like this with my hands for a few years as part of my magic act, I always had a suspicion it wasn't exactly as it seemed, but this is pretty cool to learn, thanks.
As an interesting side note, cavitation is also the reason for the noise of the "popping" sound you get when you crack your knuckles - or when your back or neck "cracks" when you move it certain ways, or even when you put some joints under a particular load, eg ankles cracking when you stand up sometimes after kneeling or crouching for a while. In these cases it's all about a specific, often sudden, pressure drop in the synovial (joint) fluid as the joint is partially tractioned (surfaces pulled apart). Unlike, as with propeller cavitation, the cracking/popping sound occurs as a gas bubble is formed - not as it collapses - and is the reason why a joint can't be re-"popped" for at least a few minutes. This is because the "pop" is the sudden release, or gasseation, of previously dissolved nitrogen from the fluid into a bubble rather than gasseation of the water molecules themselves. To "crack" the joint again it is necessary for the nitrogen to re-dissolve in the joint fluid and attempting too soon will not achieve the required sudden drop in pressure because the gas bubble will expand as you try. BTW, this process is completely harmless and has no effect on the joint surfaces, in case you were worried! It categorically does NOT increase your odds of developing arthritis.
>and is the reason why a joint can't be re-"popped" for at least a few minutes Uh... voca.ro/12vWmX7aFap (might have to crank the volume; maxed out the gain on my microphone but it's acting up with its volume levels so the vocaroo recording is quite low, or my headphones are acting up and messing up playback) - that's me cracking the knuckles of my left hand 3 times in quick succession by setting my finger tips against my upper palm then squeezing them together, if you imagine tightening a spiral forward & down (this is done just with the hand itself, not using one hand to crack the other). I can do that pretty much indefinitely with both hands, but it starts getting uncomfortable & painful after a few. Using one hand to press the upper finger down until the knuckle cracks only works every once in a while though, as described. I wonder what it is that's happening when I do the indefinite squeeze crack thing.
@Scientific Humanist yeah, it's far better explained, on many fronts, by tendons or ligaments being caught on something, then snapping back into place.
Love it whenever Euler is mentioned. Such an important mind in the engineering sciences: cavitation (as here), and (for structural engineering) Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, and Euler buckling. ‘Literally’ what we stand on to reach ever greater heights in engineering; without him, we’d ‘buckle’ under the load; we might even ‘bend’ at any ‘moment’; I’ll stop now, before my ‘stability’ is questioned (that one was a bit of a stretch, I admit...)
Other than how it was described was a failure in the interfacial properties of water and solids - when it is actually due to the material properties of fluids and self-surfaces (the potential energy increases through the generation of potential new surfaces of different energies). So Euler got the gist of the displacement causing an inertial problem - but didn't understand the energetics of fluids or surfaces enough to explain what he thought.
I saw the title and thumbnail of this video and thought: "Huh, maybe what I was told is not right at all." Turns out, the video explained what I knew, but gave me a much better way to describe it, and a better understanding of it! Not only that, it introduced sonoluminescence. Man, had I entered physics instead of engineering, I might be even more all over that!
@@revimfadli4666 True enough, most engineering fields go hard into physics, but most fields only go hard into a small field of physics. Arguably, so does physicists, but they still get a lot better understanding of all kinds of physics compared to engineers. But to answer your question: Electronics Engineering. I have a good amount of knowledge of physics when speaking of electricity, but very little knowledge when it comes to most things in this video. Especially sonoluminescence, since, as she mentions, it is a field where we don't know all that much.
When I was in architectural design, one of my teachers introduced us to cavitation in old water pipes. In rigid piping having a fast stream of water that is shut off abruptly can cause cavitation that can shake the lines and cause damage.
Oh, three years ago! Good for him! And for you! Maybe the best presenter gets the audience.... And regarding “3 years ago”.... I went to Karlstad Mekaniska Werkstad in Sweden 1974-ish and actually watched a large propeller with adjustable propeller blades running in a closed tube system filled with water which was circulated in the tube loop by giant pumps and it had a transparent section illuminated by a stroboscopic light synchronised with the propellers revs/minute so the motion was “freezed”. There you could see the influence of water speed, revs/minute and blade inclination on the cavitation phenomenon and where on the propeller blade it would occur. Karlstad Mekaniska Werkstad was founded in 1860 ..إبراهيم عبدالرحمن
@@tomfull6637 No one ever said that cavitation is a new discovered phenomenon. Besid your fancy story, we are talking about that exact event with the bottle and what is acctully happening in that EXACT CASE. and if you searsh in youtube u will actually find few vidoes actually mentionning this exact phenomenon even before Mark
@frzstat ... regarding solo luminescence 4:15 .... I reckon there are 4 key stages after the burst or compression action , 1 : cavitation process begins as i gaseous expanse void perhaps created by hydrogen gas ( and perhaps oxygen too ) , 2 : The void begins to re-amalgamate or reconstitute back into water due to pressure created , 3 : As the area of the void collapses on itself , there are 2 halves or semi circular air bubbles ready to crash into each other ( like 2 planets ) 4 : When the 2 halves bubbles ( pockets of void ) collide ( i dont know exactly if before or after ) with each other , the water molecule/s that became hydrogen gas ( in that short moment in time ) eventually combusted ( ignited/flashed ) under immense pressure . And as any researcher knows , hydrogen once used/burnt returns to a liquid/water state . .... could that be right ? 🧐🇬🇧🤔🤓
This genuinely blew my mind. I've seen cavitation in the Mantis Shrimp and behind boat propellers but to see it in slow motion with the bottle trick was absolutely amazing!
This was amazing. You talked about the light formed. I am curious if when particles are accelerated or excited enough do they then create a moment of wave? Becoming light for just a moment in time. Just a thought.
As soon as you mentioned the propellers (we call them screws in the Navy), I immediately knew it was cavitation. I was a Machinist Mate that worked in nuclear power plants in the US Navy 30 years ago. One of the things we had to study was cavitation in centrifugal pumps. We use centrifugal pumps to feed sea water into the heat exchangers of the reactor plants. Any cavitation there was dangerous, so we had to constantly monitor the feed pumps for speed and pressure.
yea i think the jist of it is; as the co2 bubbles are dissolved under pressure, when a cavity appears the co2 immediately begins diffusing into it, which in turn would dramatically reduce the force of the cavity collapsing
SublimeSparo Thank you for the reply. My understanding would be that the distributed nucleation sites are formed as a result of the force created at the time of collapse of cavitation and not time of formation. It seems that my understanding of your statement is that the CO2 begins to dissolve into the cavitation as it forms? If that were true wouldn’t it lead to larger volume of cavitation? Wouldn’t larger cavitation have a greater kinetic energy?
@@erikthompson404 I think what he is saying is that the reason cavitation is so damaging is because of super low pressures, which "pull" the liquid around at incredible speeds. If the gas diffuses into the bubbles before it collapses, the pressure inside it won't be as low, so the speed(and by extension, the energy) of the collapse will be lower.
I think of it as a fixed amount of energy in spread out over a larger volume therefore each Cavitation bubble being less energetic and diffusing the shockwave.
@@Sublimeoo No - I don't think diffusion of gas into the cavity is a prime factor - but rather the fact that numerous cavities are formed, thus modifying the pressure fields. The fact that the cavities form is very likely to be due to the concentration of nucleation sites (which are a function of the reduction of surface energetics of having a dissolved gas - ie gas "liquefied" under a higher pressure). The pressure drop induces gas to transition to gaseous form, thus creating nucleation points for cavitation. Diffusion of gas from fluid to cavity increases the pressure in cavity (reducing the relative pressure differential), thus seeking to reduce the overall effect of the cavitation and reducing the resultant collapse (so if anything diffusion would seek to reduce the impact of cavitation)
I remember seeing a documentary years back about sonoluminescence. The researcher was creating flashes of light in a tank of water using just the right frequency of sound and showed the slow motion cavitation bubbles. My younger self was like "definitely going to be a source of cold fusion"!
Two points, I first discovered the power of cavitation when attempting to mix the contents of a sealed glass bottle by forcefully smacking the lid with my hand instead of shaking it. I'm now wondering if the noise associated with the concept of water hammer is not so much due to the force of the water against the valve but really cavitation in the pipe leading up to the valve.
If you want to see more slow motion footage of this phenomenon, The Slow Mo Guys made a few videos on it almost 7 years ago. One was the bottle trick, and two other videos were about firing guns underwater with Destin from SmarterEveryDay.

Oh! So that's what is happening to your submarine in Subnautica when your ship's vocal interface announces the word "Cavitating" Many thanks for another fact filled video Diana [:=
Honey's the only one you didn't explain! You explained the others! That's the one i was curious about! lol 'You use cavitation to make honey flow better by using cavitation to make it flow better.'
FFO Dianna. I ran into cavitation in a chemical manufacturing plant. We had a situation where a solvent was evaporating in a pump and causing cavitation. When they pulled out the impellor, though the mechanics were pulling my leg. The bronze impellor looked like it had been attacked by termites! It is the strangest thing to see and until you understand what is causing it, it can be a mind-blowing experience. Thank you again for your continuing effort to educate us.
Cavitation is also a huge factor to deal with in pump design and can also happen in plumbing and on the shut off side of a valve - google cavitation in pipes and pumps and there's a whole world of applied engineering there! Thanks Physics Girl you rock!
@@mikew1332 That problem is decades old. Subs of any nation have developed propellers that don't cavitate if used correctly. The Russians have since developed a torpedo that deliberately cavitates. Not its propeller, but the torpedo "Shkval". Try to find out what sunk their Kursk in 2000.

Now I understand a thing that we did in our teenage years in our friend group. When we were drinking beer in glass bottles and someone was distracted someone took the bottle and give the distracted person I little *clonk on the top and the beer starts to foam
If you do it hard enough you do shatter the bottom of the bottle. I was quite astonished when that was done to my bottle. Also, quite sad because that was a waste of good beer.
This is a great video; so many interesting facts and it's really well done. I'd like to know how in the world someone discovered this phenomenon with the bottle. And I've watched many, many shark documentary shows on TV and have never seen the thresher shark with the whip tail until now. You'd think I'd have seen it on one of the shows.
I can safely say I knew enough on cavitation to hold a conversation, but this is a whole other level! It was very interesting and I learned a lot! Thank you!! Follow up question: do you think cavitation also occurs in the brain in hardcore soccer headers?
Exceptional video. I have translated a number of documents involving cavitation and its undesirable effects, but I was unaware of the mechanics of this process. Plus, you know, science!

I did know how this works but I've never seen good footage of it. The short section from 06:19 shows how this works absolutely perfectly. It's really clear how the fracture occurs just after the cavitation bubbles collapse. On an unrelated note, my daughter (14) was telling me how much she had been enjoying her physics lessons since she went back to school. I think she would enjoy your videos so perhaps I shall have a physics girl for a daughter.
Hehe, Mark Rober and the Backyard Scientist made the same experiment in the backyard in shorts, while Diana is wearing safety googles, gloves, a cloak and she is doing it above a tank. Thanks Diana for showing an example! Safety first!
The two explanations are totally different. Mark says that it is the water coming back down that bursts the glass. I think Mark's is better because his would explain why carbonated water does not break the glass, as the nucleation caused by the tiny air bubbles for carbonated drinks would fill in the space when the bottle goes down, cushioning the glass and making the water go down slower. In Diana's explanation, the bubbles are weaker but there's no explanation.
She did explain it. The energy from the cavitation is dispersed into forming nucleation sites for CO2 bubbles to form. You can see it directly in the video.
@@billyjoethethird8436 well i think its definitely the created CO2 gas that fills the bubbles aka counteracts it. regarding water coming down. idk. her point was that its shockwaves.
I recently had to write up a guidance regarding Water Hammer/Fluid Hammer. This subject is very common in industries where pumps and steam is used. This explanation is right on. I wish i would have seen this when i was writing up the section.
Intelligence and the scientific method are so awesome. They can not only blow your mind but completely destroy the answers that are simple, neat and wrong.
might be the same subject, but a different take on it. Allows people to absorb the info, some might like watching her instead :) or some people will be able to understand her better than his take on the subject :) either or, great video about it and very informative
The part that she explains and shows why it doesn't work with carbonated beverages helped me understand the other party trick. Where you bonk somebodys drink and it al spills out of the top with force. I love that they all made a video on the topic and I learned from each of them something new.
Really cool, Diana, even more than always. Two questions, if I may: 1) When a cavitation bubble forms, and before it collapses, what is inside? A. Nothing, a vacuum; B. water vapor but no air or other gas. C. Steam. D. something else. 2) how do you make honey cavitate?
I think that the breaking of the bottle is also helped by the fact that modern bottles aren't blown but are created by welding pre-fabricated pieces of glass together. Usually there are 3 pieces: two halves and the bottom (you usually can see the welding point of the two halves). The bottom welding is the weak point and with some force applied, it easily breaks off. You can also see that effect if you fill a glass bottle to the top, seal it (standard bottle caps are easily resealable with some household tools) and freeze it - when the ice expands it will break out of the bottom but leave the rest of the bottle intact.
‘Why head injuries could possibly be more traumatic than we ever knew” Me, a girl with a traumatic brain injury: uhhhhh...yeah. TBIs are incredibly detrimental to life. I’ve changed completely since my brain injury. Haha.
Cavitation is essential in phacoemulsification, a type of cataract surgery. It is amazing how things can relate with some physics phenomenom. Like something responsible of a propeller destruction is what brings sight back to people.
Having served on a US Navy Submarine I can tell you we are very concerned with noise, and for the most part, the Throttleman will avoid causing cavitation at all costs because it is so noisy. But if we want to go fast, the officer of the deck will order a "Flank bell" which is conveyed to engine-room just like in the movies via an engine-order-telegraph. but if speed is of the essence the officer of the deck will follow that with an announcement on the operations PA "Maneuvering, Conn, Cavitate" so the throttleman knows to kick it up a notch. As an aside you can tell the approximate depth of a screw by the sound it makes when it cavitates, so if a submarine cavitates, she has not only revealed herself, she has also let the enemy, know what she is. As you go deeper, it becomes harder and harder to cavitate because of sea pressure.
Excellent job on Cavitation and what all it does you Covered areas that I have delt with often in my lifetime and did an Excellent Job Diana I am so happy that I have found you here!! I have missed watching you with my Grandchildren on PBS I love keeping young minds thinking about every aspect of our world and the Physics of this world we live upon and the UNIVERSE as well, your research is great on every topic!!! Keep up the Excellent work and I am still a admirer of your Works in explaining and exploring the information available...
I saw Mark Rober's video on this a couple months ago, but you introduced so much more knowledge on the topic! I didn't know any of that stuff about cavitation in boat propellers!
impact force on bottle accelerates it, acceleration is fast enough to cause low pressure in front of the water which is not moving which is directly behind the bottom of the bottle, cavitation forms, cavitation collapses and P wave is produced, P wave expands into the area of the glass that caused the low pressure and breaks.
Cavitation is also a thing in diesel engine cooling systems. The frequency of the power stroke essentially bathes the cooling jacket side of the cylinder in Cavitation bubbles. This eventually leads to erosion that eats all the way through the wall of the cylinder. To combat this, we use additives(DCA) to the coolant. The way I understood it, it changed the viscosity/ resonant frequency of the fluid. Thus, reducing the cavitation effect.
I work in sterile processing in a hospital. We use "sonic cleaners" to do a final cleanse after manual cleaning. The sonic cleaners use cavitation generated by sound waves to clean nooks and crannies to small for us to clean effectively by hand.
I learned a lot from this video! I worked in a boat yard about 26 years ago and was told to install metal/alloy or aluminium sacrificial propeller savers on the rear of boats, when I asked what they did My boss said the piece or alloy would corrode quicker than the propeller this saving it before it’s next service. Not sure if it’s related but the pictures of the damaged propellers reminded me of that time. Fascinating stuff! 😊
Not a physicist, but I have a friend who is, and I asked him about the light coming from the vacuum bubbles. His best guess: Most likely, it's some trick where the speed of light in the vacuum is different from the speed of light in the fluid. So like, light "slows down" (his quotation marks), and then "catches back up to normal" (also his quotation marks) as it goes from water --> literally nothing --> back to water. That's his guess.
Thank you so much for this video! I've seen a person do it with beer and soda with a hand. The person thought the bubbles were the cause. However, they found they had to shake the beer first, then it would work. So, maybe they were removing the carbonation for a bit before the cavitation would happen?
I've been doing this trick for years with long neck bottles. I fill them with water. Why waste beer. Also i always thought it was mass in motion that took the bottom of the bottle off. Also use a similar method to loosen jar lids by patting the bottom of a jar just hard enough .start lightly then progressively harder till you hear the lid pop. To hard and the lid will come off. And thats a mess. But I've never done that. However that to i always thought it was that the contents were in motion and hitting the opposite side to cause the lid to loosen or the bottle bottom to pop off.
One of my recent research topics has been to study cavitation in plants and ultrasound emissions from plants. Diana if you want to make a short podcast/video about the topic, I would love to be a part of it.
Interesting fact about slipstreams: Geese fly in a V-like formation because it reduces the wind resistance, allowing them to conserve energy. Fighter pilots do this too, as it conserves fuel, but also assists them in communication and coordination by allowing them to see more of their "wing" (of the V).
Dianna throws out about 400 interesting facts all related to cavitation and still says "that's it, that's all I've got". Girl, that was plenty and that was awesome!

I love that you don't talk down to your viewers, but you're able to make your topics accessible and understandable to those of us who aren't in physics!
Wow. This is definitely one of the most interesting things I've ever learned, for real. Especially the last fact about brain damage blew my mind (figuratively, thankfully).
It’s up there with Leidenfrost weirdness.
@@zemoxian and I'm so glad the mechanical engineering school I go to explained in depth regarding both. And uh, as interesting as they are, they're some really annoying phenomenons when it comes to mechanical systems
“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
― Mark Twain
A bit like that quote.
Not Mark Twain, as he died before the quote is attributed to him and it isn't in his literatute. It is possibly Johnathan Swift.
See Quote investigator dot com for details.
On that note, I'm surprised she didn't cover the cavitation-based cold fusion studies that were eventually debunked.
@let's talk about George Floyd's Toxic Masculinity but you can say, a lie that the right spot from the left are peripheral there for ''rare'', while the left, a lie is the main stuff that they have to deal with from the right, historically.
Ever heard about "The Tortoise and the Hare" story?
The truth might not spread as fast, but its shoes will eventually allow it to reach much much further
@let's talk about George Floyd's Toxic Masculinity Means so much less in an era where "lie" is equivalent to "anything I don't want to hear." Traditional conservatism doesn't really exist anymore in the US (at least not in the Republican party where everyone thinks it should be. The closest thing to traditional conservatives in the US these days is the so-called "establishment" Democrats.)
Just when you think Leonhard Euler couldn't be involved in yet ANOTHER prediction he comes up with this banger
I've been breaking bottles like this with my hands for a few years as part of my magic act, I always had a suspicion it wasn't exactly as it seemed, but this is pretty cool to learn, thanks.
Slam the bottle with you head and you can double cavitate.... please don't I was only joking
As an interesting side note, cavitation is also the reason for the noise of the "popping" sound you get when you crack your knuckles - or when your back or neck "cracks" when you move it certain ways, or even when you put some joints under a particular load, eg ankles cracking when you stand up sometimes after kneeling or crouching for a while.
In these cases it's all about a specific, often sudden, pressure drop in the synovial (joint) fluid as the joint is partially tractioned (surfaces pulled apart). Unlike, as with propeller cavitation, the cracking/popping sound occurs as a gas bubble is formed - not as it collapses - and is the reason why a joint can't be re-"popped" for at least a few minutes. This is because the "pop" is the sudden release, or gasseation, of previously dissolved nitrogen from the fluid into a bubble rather than gasseation of the water molecules themselves. To "crack" the joint again it is necessary for the nitrogen to re-dissolve in the joint fluid and attempting too soon will not achieve the required sudden drop in pressure because the gas bubble will expand as you try.
BTW, this process is completely harmless and has no effect on the joint surfaces, in case you were worried! It categorically does NOT increase your odds of developing arthritis.
>and is the reason why a joint can't be re-"popped" for at least a few minutes
Uh... voca.ro/12vWmX7aFap (might have to crank the volume; maxed out the gain on my microphone but it's acting up with its volume levels so the vocaroo recording is quite low, or my headphones are acting up and messing up playback) - that's me cracking the knuckles of my left hand 3 times in quick succession by setting my finger tips against my upper palm then squeezing them together, if you imagine tightening a spiral forward & down (this is done just with the hand itself, not using one hand to crack the other). I can do that pretty much indefinitely with both hands, but it starts getting uncomfortable & painful after a few. Using one hand to press the upper finger down until the knuckle cracks only works every once in a while though, as described. I wonder what it is that's happening when I do the indefinite squeeze crack thing.
Most useful comment i have ever read!
References?
That's what I'm searching for months . Thanks
@Scientific Humanist yeah, it's far better explained, on many fronts, by tendons or ligaments being caught on something, then snapping back into place.
Love it whenever Euler is mentioned. Such an important mind in the engineering sciences: cavitation (as here), and (for structural engineering) Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, and Euler buckling. ‘Literally’ what we stand on to reach ever greater heights in engineering; without him, we’d ‘buckle’ under the load; we might even ‘bend’ at any ‘moment’; I’ll stop now, before my ‘stability’ is questioned (that one was a bit of a stretch, I admit...)
Other than how it was described was a failure in the interfacial properties of water and solids - when it is actually due to the material properties of fluids and self-surfaces (the potential energy increases through the generation of potential new surfaces of different energies). So Euler got the gist of the displacement causing an inertial problem - but didn't understand the energetics of fluids or surfaces enough to explain what he thought.
I saw the title and thumbnail of this video and thought: "Huh, maybe what I was told is not right at all."
Turns out, the video explained what I knew, but gave me a much better way to describe it, and a better understanding of it!
Not only that, it introduced sonoluminescence.
Man, had I entered physics instead of engineering, I might be even more all over that!
Remember, Spoegefugi, nothing says you can't study whatever you like on your own, even today.
Even me:

Understood almost everything!!
Engineering that doesn't go deep into physics? Which field? Computer or software engineering?
@@revimfadli4666 True enough, most engineering fields go hard into physics, but most fields only go hard into a small field of physics. Arguably, so does physicists, but they still get a lot better understanding of all kinds of physics compared to engineers. But to answer your question: Electronics Engineering. I have a good amount of knowledge of physics when speaking of electricity, but very little knowledge when it comes to most things in this video. Especially sonoluminescence, since, as she mentions, it is a field where we don't know all that much.
WE MISS YOU DIANA‼😥😥😥 PLEASE GET WELL SOON ‼‼‼💝💝💝💝💝
When I was in architectural design, one of my teachers introduced us to cavitation in old water pipes. In rigid piping having a fast stream of water that is shut off abruptly can cause cavitation that can shake the lines and cause damage.
This was awesome, I've never heard of this and it's a seriously cool phenomenon. Thank you, Diana
This stuff must be telecast on TV,
why only 1M subs?
Spread her channel everywhere so she can grow as a youtuber✌️
Mark Robert explained this 3 years ago.
But the physics girl though gave plenty of examples and explanations of the cavitation phenomenon 👌🏼
Oh, three years ago! Good for him! And for you! Maybe the best presenter gets the audience.... And regarding “3 years ago”.... I went to Karlstad Mekaniska Werkstad in Sweden 1974-ish and actually watched a large propeller with adjustable propeller blades running in a closed tube system filled with water which was circulated in the tube loop by giant pumps and it had a transparent section illuminated by a stroboscopic light synchronised with the propellers revs/minute so the motion was “freezed”. There you could see the influence of water speed, revs/minute and blade inclination on the cavitation phenomenon and where on the propeller blade it would occur. Karlstad Mekaniska Werkstad was founded in 1860 ..إبراهيم عبدالرحمن
@@tomfull6637 No one ever said that cavitation is a new discovered phenomenon. Besid your fancy story, we are talking about that exact event with the bottle and what is acctully happening in that EXACT CASE. and if you searsh in youtube u will actually find few vidoes actually mentionning this exact phenomenon even before Mark
Wait for David Blain's Ascension to catch up..... Gonna blow up faster than a ping pong ball in a vacuum tube. SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU DIANA!
TV is for dumbing down people
5:53 I think that image shows the effects of cavitation on a centrifugal pump impeller over time.
Sonoluminescence is fascinating!
@frzstat ... regarding solo luminescence 4:15 .... I reckon there are 4 key stages after the burst or compression action ,
1 : cavitation process begins as i gaseous expanse void perhaps created by hydrogen gas ( and perhaps oxygen too ) ,
2 : The void begins to re-amalgamate or reconstitute back into water due to pressure created ,
3 : As the area of the void collapses on itself , there are 2 halves or semi circular air bubbles ready to crash into each other ( like 2 planets )
4 : When the 2 halves bubbles ( pockets of void ) collide ( i dont know exactly if before or after ) with each other , the water molecule/s that became hydrogen gas ( in that short moment in time ) eventually combusted ( ignited/flashed ) under immense pressure .
And as any researcher knows , hydrogen once used/burnt returns to a liquid/water state .
.... could that be right ? 🧐🇬🇧🤔🤓
Since I found this channel all I have been doing the whole time is binge watching it. Ahhh its ASMR!!!
Love it! Seems like 99.99% of RUclips videos are worthless. Diana and her videos make up the better 0.01% ❤️
the bubbles are the souls of murdered water fairies.
And the sonoluminence explains the mysterious light that they see at the end of the tunnel.
@@davemwangi05 So sonoluminence is caused by oncoming trains. I need to publish right now. Probably win a Nobel.

@@davemwangi05 Duuuuuuhh. It's an effing joke.
Only thing I've ever known about this topic is, 'Captain we're cavitating!!' -- Hunt For Red October (1990)
Thanks for this.
Cavitation is also a huge source of noise...and a whole heap of techno-jargon to keep the nerds happy (though they don't know why)
@@AdelaideBen1 also the reason to the USA navy had a big advantage over Soviets. We could build quieter screws.
Sonoluminescence...
sounds illuminating.
Perfect
I've just received a New Message of a science pun
Sounds abright.

@@TheZenytram do you see two possible meanings in the statement? then it's a pun
This genuinely blew my mind. I've seen cavitation in the Mantis Shrimp and behind boat propellers but to see it in slow motion with the bottle trick was absolutely amazing!
This was amazing. You talked about the light formed. I am curious if when particles are accelerated or excited enough do they then create a moment of wave? Becoming light for just a moment in time. Just a thought.
One of the most interesting experiments you’ve done, thanks Diana!
It's amazing what scientists and engineers can learn from their mistakes.
That's what engineering is. Also destroying stuff on purpose.
@@Trident_Euclid yup totally. And it's a lot of fun
"tail-whip", "stunned fish", "nom". That gave me the giggles!
As soon as you mentioned the propellers (we call them screws in the Navy), I immediately knew it was cavitation. I was a Machinist Mate that worked in nuclear power plants in the US Navy 30 years ago. One of the things we had to study was cavitation in centrifugal pumps. We use centrifugal pumps to feed sea water into the heat exchangers of the reactor plants. Any cavitation there was dangerous, so we had to constantly monitor the feed pumps for speed and pressure.
So in carbonated liquid the nucleation sites act as a buffer to diffuse the concentrated force of the collapsing cavitation?
yea i think the jist of it is; as the co2 bubbles are dissolved under pressure, when a cavity appears the co2 immediately begins diffusing into it, which in turn would dramatically reduce the force of the cavity collapsing
SublimeSparo Thank you for the reply. My understanding would be that the distributed nucleation sites are formed as a result of the force created at the time of collapse of cavitation and not time of formation. It seems that my understanding of your statement is that the CO2 begins to dissolve into the cavitation as it forms? If that were true wouldn’t it lead to larger volume of cavitation? Wouldn’t larger cavitation have a greater kinetic energy?
@@erikthompson404 I think what he is saying is that the reason cavitation is so damaging is because of super low pressures, which "pull" the liquid around at incredible speeds. If the gas diffuses into the bubbles before it collapses, the pressure inside it won't be as low, so the speed(and by extension, the energy) of the collapse will be lower.
I think of it as a fixed amount of energy in spread out over a larger volume therefore each Cavitation bubble being less energetic and diffusing the shockwave.
@@Sublimeoo No - I don't think diffusion of gas into the cavity is a prime factor - but rather the fact that numerous cavities are formed, thus modifying the pressure fields. The fact that the cavities form is very likely to be due to the concentration of nucleation sites (which are a function of the reduction of surface energetics of having a dissolved gas - ie gas "liquefied" under a higher pressure). The pressure drop induces gas to transition to gaseous form, thus creating nucleation points for cavitation. Diffusion of gas from fluid to cavity increases the pressure in cavity (reducing the relative pressure differential), thus seeking to reduce the overall effect of the cavitation and reducing the resultant collapse (so if anything diffusion would seek to reduce the impact of cavitation)
I remember seeing a documentary years back about sonoluminescence. The researcher was creating flashes of light in a tank of water using just the right frequency of sound and showed the slow motion cavitation bubbles. My younger self was like "definitely going to be a source of cold fusion"!
Two points, I first discovered the power of cavitation when attempting to mix the contents of a sealed glass bottle by forcefully smacking the lid with my hand instead of shaking it.
I'm now wondering if the noise associated with the concept of water hammer is not so much due to the force of the water against the valve but really cavitation in the pipe leading up to the valve.
Found this channel a week or so ago … I try to watch a video every night before bed. This channel is awesome! Great work!
This was a SUPER interesting video!! Thanks a lot Dianna!!
Physics Girl out here giving hot takes and leaving no prisoners.
I’m just happy the thresher shark gets the attention it deserves
If you want to see more slow motion footage of this phenomenon, The Slow Mo Guys made a few videos on it almost 7 years ago. One was the bottle trick, and two other videos were about firing guns underwater with Destin from SmarterEveryDay.

Woah. That slow-mo footage at 6:19 is amazing! It captures almost perfectly what is happening.
I was going to explain how I was able to surmise what was happening from it...
And yea it's what you use to explain, of course. Really great footage.
Unique, gorgeous, and really passionate about Physics.
Wondrous experience to visit you. You're just amazing.
mark rober did this with the backyard scientist
1:09 ..my science BS metre - lol
I watched Mark Rober's video in late 2016 on this same subject and this goes into greater detail by a mile... nice :D
Such a joy learning from your videos. Thank you for spending time to create quality content!
One of your best videos and, seeing how good all your videos are, that’s saying something.
Oh! So that's what is happening to your submarine in Subnautica when your ship's vocal interface announces the word "Cavitating"
Many thanks for another fact filled video Diana [:=
I just can't stop thinking about avatar the last airbender and waterbenders using this information.
Honey's the only one you didn't explain! You explained the others! That's the one i was curious about! lol
'You use cavitation to make honey flow better by using cavitation to make it flow better.'
Yea and she didn't give it a reference either. I've tried searching the comments sections but its sadly missing from there as well.
FFO Dianna. I ran into cavitation in a chemical manufacturing plant. We had a situation where a solvent was evaporating in a pump and causing cavitation. When they pulled out the impellor, though the mechanics were pulling my leg. The bronze impellor looked like it had been attacked by termites! It is the strangest thing to see and until you understand what is causing it, it can be a mind-blowing experience. Thank you again for your continuing effort to educate us.
Cavitation is also a huge factor to deal with in pump design and can also happen in plumbing and on the shut off side of a valve - google cavitation in pipes and pumps and there's a whole world of applied engineering there! Thanks Physics Girl you rock!
I remember hearing this term first time in "Hunt for Red October" go watch the scene
Closely related, solving the cavitation problem is why the US Navy prefers you don't get a good look at the actual shape of propellers on submarines.
@@mikew1332 That problem is decades old. Subs of any nation have developed propellers that don't cavitate if used correctly. The Russians have since developed a torpedo that deliberately cavitates. Not its propeller, but the torpedo "Shkval". Try to find out what sunk their Kursk in 2000.
Crazy, Ivan :)

I was hoping you'd say something about mantis shrimp.
I know right! They literally stun their prey with cavitation bubbles which also sonoluminate! Simone Giertz is disappointed.

Now I understand a thing that we did in our teenage years in our friend group. When we were drinking beer in glass bottles and someone was distracted someone took the bottle and give the distracted person I little *clonk on the top and the beer starts to foam
Clonking is the term we used for it. Never knew it was cavitation though.
Yeah I just realised this too! It explains why you can get such a ridiculous amount of bubbles out of a small clonk.
If you do it hard enough you do shatter the bottom of the bottle. I was quite astonished when that was done to my bottle. Also, quite sad because that was a waste of good beer.
Very cool episode today, Diana! Thank you for so many good shows! You are one of my favorites on YT!!
This is one of my favorite videos. You did a great job of narrating and overall production of the video. Really well done.
This is a great video; so many interesting facts and it's really well done.
I'd like to know how in the world someone discovered this phenomenon with the bottle.
And I've watched many, many shark documentary shows on TV and have never seen the thresher shark with the whip tail until now. You'd think I'd have seen it on one of the shows.
Damn when you said "Blow your mind" you really meant it.
I can safely say I knew enough on cavitation to hold a conversation, but this is a whole other level! It was very interesting and I learned a lot! Thank you!!
Follow up question: do you think cavitation also occurs in the brain in hardcore soccer headers?
@@donepearce Yeah, I don't think you play soccer, that's not exactly what happens during a header 🤣 but I do agree with your stance on boxers!
'micro-cavitation'? Well worth a look, I'd say
Exceptional video. I have translated a number of documents involving cavitation and its undesirable effects, but I was unaware of the mechanics of this process. Plus, you know, science!

I did know how this works but I've never seen good footage of it. The short section from 06:19 shows how this works absolutely perfectly. It's really clear how the fracture occurs just after the cavitation bubbles collapse.
On an unrelated note, my daughter (14) was telling me how much she had been enjoying her physics lessons since she went back to school. I think she would enjoy your videos so perhaps I shall have a physics girl for a daughter.
Hehe, Mark Rober and the Backyard Scientist made the same experiment in the backyard in shorts, while Diana is wearing safety googles, gloves, a cloak and she is doing it above a tank. Thanks Diana for showing an example! Safety first!
The two explanations are totally different. Mark says that it is the water coming back down that bursts the glass. I think Mark's is better because his would explain why carbonated water does not break the glass, as the nucleation caused by the tiny air bubbles for carbonated drinks would fill in the space when the bottle goes down, cushioning the glass and making the water go down slower. In Diana's explanation, the bubbles are weaker but there's no explanation.
She did explain it. The energy from the cavitation is dispersed into forming nucleation sites for CO2 bubbles to form. You can see it directly in the video.
@@thomasneal9291 The explanation that is missing is about the bubbles being weaker on the carbonated version.
@@billyjoethethird8436 well i think its definitely the created CO2 gas that fills the bubbles aka counteracts it. regarding water coming down. idk. her point was that its shockwaves.
This is a great example of why women live longer.
Oxygen likes bond to other oxygens. When molecules put in sudden excitement.
Could be the outer hydrogens on water molecule. Closing in around them
Cavitating is pretty captivating.
And confusing as heck to my spellcheck, it seems.
I recently had to write up a guidance regarding Water Hammer/Fluid Hammer. This subject is very common in industries where pumps and steam is used. This explanation is right on. I wish i would have seen this when i was writing up the section.
Intelligence and the scientific method are so awesome. They can not only blow your mind but completely destroy the answers that are simple, neat and wrong.

The part that she explains and shows why it doesn't work with carbonated beverages helped me understand the other party trick. Where you bonk somebodys drink and it al spills out of the top with force. I love that they all made a video on the topic and I learned from each of them something new.

Hey Dianna!.. eagerly waiting for your next video!..❤️ Yaaaar 🤗
Love From India 🧡♥️
Take Care 💕
I think everybody comes here to see Dianna's joke at the end but ends up watching the whole video.
Really cool, Diana, even more than always.
Two questions, if I may:
1) When a cavitation bubble forms, and before it collapses, what is inside? A. Nothing, a vacuum; B. water vapor but no air or other gas. C. Steam. D. something else.
2) how do you make honey cavitate?
I think that the breaking of the bottle is also helped by the fact that modern bottles aren't blown but are created by welding pre-fabricated pieces of glass together. Usually there are 3 pieces: two halves and the bottom (you usually can see the welding point of the two halves). The bottom welding is the weak point and with some force applied, it easily breaks off. You can also see that effect if you fill a glass bottle to the top, seal it (standard bottle caps are easily resealable with some household tools) and freeze it - when the ice expands it will break out of the bottom but leave the rest of the bottle intact.

"ships have SCREWS not propellers"
Nope boats have propellers and bow thrusters that are actually Impellers
This is so ridiculously well researched! A lot of it went over my head, but definitely learned a lot nevertheless
Cavitation is essential in phacoemulsification, a type of cataract surgery.
It is amazing how things can relate with some physics phenomenom. Like something responsible of a propeller destruction is what brings sight back to people.
Having served on a US Navy Submarine I can tell you we are very concerned with noise, and for the most part, the Throttleman will avoid causing cavitation at all costs because it is so noisy. But if we want to go fast, the officer of the deck will order a "Flank bell" which is conveyed to engine-room just like in the movies via an engine-order-telegraph. but if speed is of the essence the officer of the deck will follow that with an announcement on the operations PA "Maneuvering, Conn, Cavitate" so the throttleman knows to kick it up a notch. As an aside you can tell the approximate depth of a screw by the sound it makes when it cavitates, so if a submarine cavitates, she has not only revealed herself, she has also let the enemy, know what she is. As you go deeper, it becomes harder and harder to cavitate because of sea pressure.
Excellent job on Cavitation and what all it does you Covered areas that I have delt with often in my lifetime and did an Excellent Job Diana I am so happy that I have found you here!! I have missed watching you with my Grandchildren on PBS I love keeping young minds thinking about every aspect of our world and the Physics of this world we live upon and the UNIVERSE as well, your research is great on every topic!!! Keep up the Excellent work and I am still a admirer of your Works in explaining and exploring the information available...
I saw Mark Rober's video on this a couple months ago, but you introduced so much more knowledge on the topic! I didn't know any of that stuff about cavitation in boat propellers!
impact force on bottle accelerates it, acceleration is fast enough to cause low pressure in front of the water which is not moving which is directly behind the bottom of the bottle, cavitation forms, cavitation collapses and P wave is produced, P wave expands into the area of the glass that caused the low pressure and breaks.
Cavitation is also a thing in diesel engine cooling systems. The frequency of the power stroke essentially bathes the cooling jacket side of the cylinder in Cavitation bubbles. This eventually leads to erosion that eats all the way through the wall of the cylinder. To combat this, we use additives(DCA) to the coolant. The way I understood it, it changed the viscosity/ resonant frequency of the fluid. Thus, reducing the cavitation effect.
We miss you, Dianna.
WOW!! That slow mo was EPIC! I loved this video
I work in sterile processing in a hospital. We use "sonic cleaners" to do a final cleanse after manual cleaning. The sonic cleaners use cavitation generated by sound waves to clean nooks and crannies to small for us to clean effectively by hand.
I LOVE this Lady . She is so Cute , Enthusiastic and Knows her stuff or where to find out about stuff . A Great teacher .
I learned a lot from this video! I worked in a boat yard about 26 years ago and was told to install metal/alloy or aluminium sacrificial propeller savers on the rear of boats, when I asked what they did My boss said the piece or alloy would corrode quicker than the propeller this saving it before it’s next service. Not sure if it’s related but the pictures of the damaged propellers reminded me of that time. Fascinating stuff! 😊
Not a physicist, but I have a friend who is, and I asked him about the light coming from the vacuum bubbles. His best guess:
Most likely, it's some trick where the speed of light in the vacuum is different from the speed of light in the fluid. So like, light "slows down" (his quotation marks), and then "catches back up to normal" (also his quotation marks) as it goes from water --> literally nothing --> back to water.
That's his guess.
Thank you so much for this video! I've seen a person do it with beer and soda with a hand. The person thought the bubbles were the cause. However, they found they had to shake the beer first, then it would work. So, maybe they were removing the carbonation for a bit before the cavitation would happen?
I've been doing this trick for years with long neck bottles. I fill them with water. Why waste beer. Also i always thought it was mass in motion that took the bottom of the bottle off. Also use a similar method to loosen jar lids by patting the bottom of a jar just hard enough .start lightly then progressively harder till you hear the lid pop. To hard and the lid will come off. And thats a mess. But I've never done that. However that to i always thought it was that the contents were in motion and hitting the opposite side to cause the lid to loosen or the bottle bottom to pop off.
One of my recent research topics has been to study cavitation in plants and ultrasound emissions from plants. Diana if you want to make a short podcast/video about the topic, I would love to be a part of it.
9:55 is when you stole my heart, the frequency based cancer cures are my favorite medical technology being developed right now.
Interesting fact about slipstreams: Geese fly in a V-like formation because it reduces the wind resistance, allowing them to conserve energy. Fighter pilots do this too, as it conserves fuel, but also assists them in communication and coordination by allowing them to see more of their "wing" (of the V).
impressive work and even better explanation! Thanks for you guys!
