Turn the whole thing upside down and feed the toothpaste in through funnel. Prevents the holes in the paste from trying to pick it up. Also, use a toothpaste roller to empty it fully and keep the air out better for a true fill
Path of least resistance? If the toothpaste is on the bottom, there has to be more toothpaste between the air and suction? Because I see the air finding a path of less resistance through the toothpaste to get sucked up. You could potentially warm up the toothpaste to increase the fluidity/viscosity?? Or as suggested, use gravity by having the toothpaste on top to decrease the resistance of the toothpaste itself? Or am I wrong? Curious
I could go on forever perfecting this thing but I think I demonstrated all the principles necessary to do it right. FASCINATING though, right?? This one was a little different. It was a little more science experiment than building, but problem solving and learning is at the core of my channel.
should have done it in reverse. Used a pressure chamber with the toothpaste and had the tube connected to it. i mean all you need to do is flip the setup a bit. right?

Grant thompson never in his lifetime legitimately used the phrase "hot diggity dog" as an expression of excitation.. Grant did not come off like a goober..
The expression arose back in the days when toothpaste tubes were made of soft metal, similar to those still used for oil paints, prior to 1980. The plastic tubes used now are much easier to refill.
I wanted that to work so bad. Seems like you would have to have the cup under vaccum to eliminate the "slushy cavity"? Also, slushy cavities, dentist light, toothpaste, this is an orthodontic dream video.
As an SFX techie of more than 20 years, next time you need a vacuum chamber, try making your gaskets out of silicone, the one I made for my own vacuum chamber is cast in Mold Star 20T and about 15mm thick, you can get away with a _very_ uneven surface of your chamber/lid with a thicker and softer gasket. But of course, do use something that's already smooth. If you use plywood for your lid, make sure to cover the edges in a sealer, plywood isn't airtight, eventhough you'd think it was. And another thing, if you're some day tasked with putting toothpaste back in the tube, and we're talking a paid job here, just use a syringe to force it back into the tube, it saves you a lot of time and materials, and thus money, doing a lot of good for your earning. Sure, this job is all about thinking outside of the box, and solving problems that most regular people can't even begin to wrap their brains around, but it's _also_ about finding the fastest and easiest way to reach the goal.
Hey brother dope video! Love science experiments 🤙🏼. My observation was that the volume of toothpaste sucked back upwards is limited by the high viscosity and weight of the paste. The atmospheric pressure is rushing back into the tube so fast that it turns into a contest of toothpaste viscosity/resistance vs. pinpointed air pressure. Eventually the air pressure is so high that it simply carves a path into the surrounding toothpaste to make room for the rest of the air to fill the tube. Imagine you’re blasting compressed air through a small handful of elmers glue. At some point the compressed air at a high enough PSI would make its way through and you’d feel the compressed air directly on your skin. I think either the intake tube should be a larger diameter to accommodate the high viscosity, or it would need to be a less viscous toothpaste. Great experiment! Keep it up!
Great video! I think as another thing to try, I would have tried turning the vacuum off and on while moving in the dish. I know some might leak out in between vacuums but I think it might work. Or a deeper dish with a lot more toothpaste might work? Lessen the potential for air capture? Maybe there would be more hydraulic pressure from more toothpaste, and also make it not so easy for air to get to the end of the tube. Consider the syringe analog - medicine bottles usually have a lot more than one syringe full of material.
Your channel makes me happy and excited. You get so into your random projects, and almost every video you've made has been interesting. I love seeing what ideas you come up with next and seeing the process of how you make it. Keep it up, man. I love your content!
All this work for 11 minute video gotta give it up to you bro keep that hard work up and you'll go far bro your channel will go far I like your attitude and your curiosity it's amazing¡!¡
I may be wrong on this but I'm going to give it a shot. I think the reason for the final test(s) failing is the following- Originally, when you first start the vacuum pump, it draws toothpaste from the cup into the tube, but as soon as enough vacuum is pulled in the chamber, it is too much for the toothpaste to handle. Basically at that high of a vacuum it is easier for it to suck air through the toothpaste, into the tube (basically making a burrow through the toothpaste in the cup, to the tip of the tube on the vacuum chamber, creating a direct path for air to flow), than to just suck up toothpaste. I have a few thoughts on how to rectify this issue. Firstly, you could try regulating the vacuum to only draw as much as you actually need to suck up the toothpaste (and not create an air path). The only problem with that is that eventually, the tube would get full enough to where you would HAVE to draw a vacuum higher than what the toothpaste can handle. This is where the second idea comes into play which is to increase the depth of the cup of toothpaste. More depth of a liquid- harder to create hole. Tyler, if you see this, take it for what it is lol. I'm just an 18 year old writing my thought process down in the comments section, but I THINK that is the problem.
Best video of yours that I have seen. Great job, some other videos lacked explanation of what you were doing and why I thought. Really like this content though, simple and to the point is awesome!
My dad was a deep water sailor in WWII and the Korean War. He said that the Navy used two methods back then to test whether a chamber was air tight. One was to flood a space with water and see if it leaked, the other was to pull a vacuum in the space. He said it took a lot of water but a very small pressure difference between the outside and the inside of the chamber. BTW, you are really cool. I'd like to say you should become a middle school/ high school science teacher, but I can't. Teacher salaries are abysmal---I know, I'm a Special Education teacher. Figure out a way to teach science AND make a decent living. I LOVED your video!! BTW, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle modeled Sherlock Holmes on Dr. James Bell....seems like you Bells are a cut above the average bear. 😉
Buddy, use a balloon to keep your tootpaste free from air bubbles. Actually the air start penitrating like a needle from very thin point. and what you expect it to work as a very strong piston. So for that use a balloon to keep your toothpaste like a fluid where air is not penetration on it. And I noticed that toothpaste have very high viscosity. so it won't leveling itself like water. it like to stay remain in it's shape what is given to it. Your issue is like cavitation in most high power motors where the water sucked with such high speed it start sucking air because air start penetrating it. I got this idea this morning, coz I watched this video last night. If you need a visual represntation. please give a heart on this comment I will definatly shows you where it went wrong and how You can fix it. and good luck for your new projects.
The simpler solution would have been a giant syringe like a flavor injector. If you want to overengineer it, make the syringe powered off of compressed air. Toothpaste is a fluid with a very high viscosity. You could see if a funnel and gravity alone can shove the toothpaste back in given enough time. Granted, it'll be like the pitch drop experiment taking decades, but it'll be interesting to see.
1) warm up the paste to help with viscosity 2) fill up the can with air 3) insert a thick needle syringe down to the bottom of the can 4) push paste throw the syringe, slowly and the air will pump out.
I’ve done this before and it’s way simpler than you’re working on it… Was leaving on a trip and since you can’t take a real tube of toothpaste on a plane, so I decided to take some small travel ones I had from previous trips. Noticed they weren’t quite full anymore(because they’d been partially used). Here’s what I did: blow in the tubes to inflate it causing the tube to inflate as much as possible, then hold the tube in my hand and tap the tube w the open side up to make sure all the paste is at the crimped end and any potential air pockets/bubbles. Next I squeezed till the toothpaste just reached the opening removing any air inside(sounds counterproductive as I just filled it up right? Just keep reading) Then hold carefully 2 tubes opening to opening and squeeze one to force the paste from the one emptying to another one that’s filling. Boom I just refilled the tubes. I could just have taken the partially used tubes but honestly I didn’t wanna take about 8 half filled tubes, instead 2-3 full ones. Same principle, same process, different result and you can do the same w full size toofpaste. End
Maybe you could try to vacuum out the air bubbles in the toothpaste cylinder and then sucking it back up as you were doing. I imagine when you squeezed out the toothpaste into the container, you trapped air bubbles in between each layer.
Possible as one viewer suggested to invert and use a funnel. Might I suggest a solid syringe setup? Free moving plunger at the bottom, rigid sides so you don’t collapse and block the outlet of the external tube.
I thought I might point out that "Teflon" tape is not great for sealing. It is to help tapered threads glide better to get a much better seal. I just came across your videos today and I am quite enjoying them. :D
I love your enthusiasm! And don't huff toothpaste! I think I solved this a while back and haven't tested it yet. Your method will work, but you need the toothpaste in the refill container to be air tight. (I mean duh, you proved that!) I'll test my method and get back to you.
What a good big brother. My oldest brother would already be done with me after the first time. My middle (still older) brother would be flinging toothpaste at me while we both figured it out.
I think the solution would be sucking the toothpaste out of a reservoir that has a sliding seal and rigid sides. Something like a caulk tube or a cake decorating tube for frosting. That way it prevents it from sealing itself and instead of creating a bubble, you just reduce the overall volume of the reservoir.
NO! I REFUSE THIS CONCLUSION AND DEMAND A SOLUTION! (yes, i'm yelling) What's happening is the paste is creating a cavity around the straw (the toothpaste flows too slowly to refill) and it only needs a tiny path to loose vacuum, then it suctions itself closed again. You need the whole system to be sealed and the source container has to be designed to crumble on vacuum to prevent resistance. Try topping it with saran wrap or a balloon membrane that will be pulled down as the vat empties instead of letting air in.
I think the reason why the burnt toothpaste was so reminiscent of marshmallow is because a lot of toothpastes contain sodium bicarbonate, which caused that fluffiness and rise, that's my hypothesis anyway. didn't see anyone else mention it so thought it was worth a shout.
Make the cup of toothpaste warmer, and also reduced the speed of the suction with a variable valve. Doing those things should allow the toothpaste in the cup to refill the gap (being produced by the end of the tube) more quickly, thus keeping air from entering the tube.
I think the toothpaste is just a bit too viscus so when the nozzle sucks up some toothpaste the surrounding material doesn't immediately rush to fill the void as a liquid would, but holds its shape just enough that air can rush in before the toothpaste can fill the void. I would suggest putting some plastic wrap over the toothpaste cup so that a void in the toothpaste doesn't get filled with air.
it looked like you had better luck drawing toothpaste back into the tube when the vacuum was just a little bit. If you try this experiment again, turn on the vacuum pump for a short while (long enough to start pulling toothpaste back into the tube), and then turn off the pump to maintain a slight vacuum instead of a total vacuum. Also, I think the spongy carbon that appeared when you burned the toothpaste was caused by the baking soda in the toothpaste. But it was fun watching you go through the experimental process instead of only posting your success, I think more people need to know that not succeeding the first time isn't a reason to quit.
have you tried vibrating the air bubbles out of the toothpaste? ultrasonic cleaners, or even massage pads work quite well, or you could easily make something with a sander, or an offset weight.
It’s possible to do this with a small amount of toothpaste if you press the sides in the right way, so when we had that of example of “words are like toothpaste, you can’t take them back” and I was able to put back the small amount the look on the teacher’s face was priceless
For sucking the toothpaste back into the tube, use a collapsible container like a bag to hold the toothpaste. As it is sucked out, it will collapse and not leave a pocket for potential air to get into and be sucked up. Same principle was applied to baby bottles to help the baby from sucking in air, thus reducing the amount of burping needed after.
Random thought from seeing you post about this on IG. You don't want to drop the pressure around the whole tube at once. if you could draw the vacuum from the front of the tube and expose the rest of the tube to the vac incrementally you might be able to draw less air.
If you replaced the tray with something akin to a caulking gun tube, the tray capacity would shrink as toothpaste was drawn into the tube (i.e., rather than leaving behind air).

Turning it upside down is unlikely to change anything. You could feed the toothpaste from a large syringe, though.

@@martinschroederglst would it still be vacuum if you’re feeding it into the tube with a syringe? Seems counter intuitive
@@reymysterio3177 I don't mean to push the syringe, just to use it to feed the toothpaste back into the tube without bubbles. But whatever...
or you could do a little hole in the top of the toob to let the air that will get in out, and the toothpaste that is thicker wont get through

It’s possible to do this with a small amount of toothpaste if you press the sides in the right way, so when we had that of example of “words are like toothpaste, you can’t take them back” and I was able to put back the small amount the look on the teacher’s face was priceless
Found you via Alec Steele, and I'm not disappointed!
What did the cashier look at you like when you walked up with 10 tubes off toothpaste?
Only 30k subs?! You deserve more man.
Such a fun video lol subbed!
Since the air pressure is relative, what's the difference between vacuum chamber method and just squeezing it back with higher pressure
For sucking the toothpaste back into the tube, use a collapsible container like a bag to hold the toothpaste. As it is sucked out, it will collapse and not leave a pocket for potential air to get into and be sucked up. Same principle was applied to baby bottles to help the baby from sucking in air, thus reducing the amount of burping needed after.
Amazing video. I love the authentic demonstrated discovery. So fun to watch.
Thank you!
Cool video. Hope Crest was a sponsor. : ) Think you need to make those "Busted" "Plausible" and "Confirmed" signs. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thats a good idea! Thanks!
Great video, great editing, great vibe going on. You rock 😃
Random thought from seeing you post about this on IG. You don't want to drop the pressure around the whole tube at once. if you could draw the vacuum from the front of the tube and expose the rest of the tube to the vac incrementally you might be able to draw less air.
If you replaced the tray with something akin to a caulking gun tube, the tray capacity would shrink as toothpaste was drawn into the tube (i.e., rather than leaving behind air).
