Hey Kyle, your content is brings me back to the joy of my elementary bill nye days. Do you have plans to cover String theory ? I think it would be a great video.
We can harness nuclear energy now, and yet, ppl are to afraid of its power, so much that its almost useless. I cant imagine what would happen if we could make "black hole power plant" like structure on Earth, or we make artificial black hole in/near Solar System. So, more u educate ppl about black holes, chances are lower that we will make something like this, because ppl will be more aware of danger.
An alternative to this would be to strap a slice of bread with butter on it to the back of a cat. Since the bread will always land on the buttered side and the cat will always land on its feet when tossed, the two will eventually rotate instead of touching the floor. Thus, you'll have a perpetual motion machine that would power the Jupiter brains of the future.
You got it all wrong, there is nothing stopping their accelaration towards the ground, by our current knowledge the system would reach infinite amount of rotations before touching the ground. Sort of a singularity, our physics just stop working there, and we can't experimentally try what happens, because by our current estimation that process would create infinite energy in a finite time window, thus destroying the whole universe. And no one wants to risk that.
the issue here is while not with a cat its been tried with a shoe and a piece of buttered bread, it turns out that they just separate and each hits the ground as it is wont to do
I laughed at the intro, raced over to show my girlfriend and she said “I don’t get it” I asked, “Don’t you think he looks like a discount Chris Hemsworth?” “No, to me he looks like a buff Shia LaBeouf.”
It sometimes annoys me how few people end up watching your videos. Every single week I wait for the new one, and the quality never disappoints. Thanks for doing this, discount Thor!
@@TeoTH80 It's been over-hyped. I think it's an alright movie, and enjoy some of the concepts and rewatching it now and then. But, I also feel like it'd be right at home on a modern version of MST3K. That said, I've never thought more highly of it than I do, so yeah, it is as good as I remember, or sometimes better.
I think if I graphed how much I know about black holes against how much people want to talk to me at a cocktail party, we may end up with some kind of negative undefined region that looks very sad. Fantastic video as always Kyle.
Dammit Kyle i was drinking when you said "netflix adaptation of Thor" how dare you bring it that hard so early in the video! lol... Keep up the good work Good Sir :) Love your stuff :)
I have to echo @roadie7250 's sentiment. That said, I don't hold it on too high a pedestal. It's a fun movie with some interesting ideas. A good movie night movie for October, but fine to put back on the shelf for the rest of the year.
Okay, you need to acknowledge Isaac Arthur for this! I know you just watched his Black Hole Farming video. But yeah, this is probably going to be *the* end of energy production. There's really nothing quite as passive as this.
This would be not fun in school at all, In a youtube vid it's fun with all the graphics and jokes, in school it'll be almost exclusively discussed with math and equations🙃
This is great, I wrote my senior paper on the idea of extracting energy from rotating black holes last year. My obsession with them goes back a while 😅
Related watching for anyone interested, Issac Aurther, host of Science and Futurism with Issac Aurther made a video set called 'civilaizations at the end of time' where he one of the things he brought up was harvesting energy from black holes iirc.
I'm watching this immediately after coming home from a night on the town and while I dont currently understand what Kyle is saying, I like the way he explains everything. Its currently 4:33 am and all i have to say is I love you Kyle for continuing your series after Nerdist
That’s interesting. I would expect a gravitational slingshot to be similar, however with less power output as a trade-off for a smaller scale and less complexity.
Finally! I love your singular videos. I wish you did more of them. I just don't have the time to sit an watch an office hours stream. These videos are much better.
8:24 "graphs are the ultimate proof of anything" everyone else: comes up with all sorts of supporting evidence for their claims me, an intellectual: "look at this graph"
I call a theoretical generator taking advantage of the Penrose process, a "Penrose Generator". A basic idea is spacetime paddles, oars that get moved by the ergosphere but are anchored outside of it.
I really enjoy learning about this sort of thing as an adult. As a kid it seemed impossible and so far away. As an adult awakening to my spirituality and a greater use of my mind- this sounds entirely possible if people have the want to do so.
Dude. Yes. I've tinkered around with a concept like this before! I just started watching the video but I'm looking forward to the science as always! You've made me a lot smarter than I was and I am forever grateful for that!
Oh yeah, I remember when Kurzegesagt made a video on this. Thanks for addressing them at the end of the video Kyle, it's so great to live in a timeline where we have so many educative/scientific content creators, and especially that they're so chill with each other,
@@neuralmute Event Horizon falls under the category of Cosmic horror. Horror deriving from fear od the unknowable, the spectacle that we are insignificant and there are forces at place with their own agendas and nothing we do will change it. If you want a better example, lovecraftian horror is synonymous with cosmic horror.
@@Shaathurray Oh, I'm aware of Cosmic Horror, and I'm more than familiar with Lovecraft and his works. (I've got a rubbing of his headstone framed and hanging over my bed.) And I agree that Event Horizon fits well into the genre. I simply meant to suggest that this movie is in a class entirely of its own, and whether that's a good or bad thing is one's own opinion. Either way, it leaves a lasting impression! It's hard to do tone on the internet. ;)

Duuuuude. I've been looking all over youtube to try and find you after you left because science. I had actually gave up on looking for you and assumed that you were no longer on TH-cam. Glad I was just randomly recommend you.
The idea of even orbiting a black hole at all let alone trying to build a structure around it that regularly lowers something close to the event horizon is an absolutely terrifying prospect. If ANYTHING goes wrong AT ALL there is no escape.
Glad you brought up "kurzgesagt in a nutshell" their video was really good explaining the idea. I'm glad to see the idea getting more love, and seeing a different take on the subject. Question, how long do you think it would take to make a colony using the dark energy of a black hole with our current technology (or your own secret tech)?
I've been writing a white paper about poltergeist power generation for a while. The basic concept is that you find a haunted house where a ghost is pulling open drawers every night. You install a rack and pinion dynamo power generator to the drawer to extract some power from the ghost pulling the drawer open. You are then extracting power from wherever the ghost get's its power. You scale this up massively until you have a warehouse full of power generating drawers. Either ghosts aren't real, or they violate the law of conservation of energy, or they extract energy via some unknown method from an unknown source.
"There can be more than one thing about things." That's how I justify doing anything at all. Markets are saturated, songs and stories are derivative, and the undiscovered is beyond the reach of all but the very best. Since I'm barely adequate, the world doesn't have room for me in any capacity but a consumer. I still feel like trying though, so I'll make another thing about a thing and privately enjoy the process of its fruitless creation.
I know what you saying, but I cannot call that fruitless. Sometimes your explanation is the one that drills the knowledge into someone's head, either because of your visuals (no matter how crude) your choice of words or either your voice or even because that person was finally receptive to that message and you were the messenger. I still remember someone (I saved his video in my playlists) that pushed my way to see gravity from Newton to Einstein while explaining how gravity is how it is also because on top of the curvature of space, time is also being stretched for that object (everybody says that and I understood that) but for some reason his explanation finally moved my brain to "visualise" everything at once in one picture, instead of seeing: -with my minds eye just the stretch of space and operate with my conceptual mind that time was being stretched now: -both my mind's eye and conceptual mind seeing both at the same time. Looks similar, but for ME, it is a big difference.
I remember something called "The Event" as a TV show, not a film. It was about aliens suing Spanish flu to kill people slowly or something? I can't quite remember but they managed to acquire some infected lungs.
Hey! I watched this video yesterday! I guess being an intern in the Facility is totally worth the money I paid. Support Kyle on Patreon, folks! It's worth it!
Sometimes I think that when physics "break" is actually when we forget some kind of factor in the formula we use to usually describe it. Usually when we get a force that becomes opposite in a way we did not expect is because there's somewhere a variable that inverts the overall sign. (i.e. we expect some force to never be negative, but we can see an opposite effect and the math expression used to define it is always a positive number. )

new head canon: "they're all gonna look gross" being your main worry convinces me that you are ageless and are going to stay at 20 until 2550 Edit: as long as we don't all die
I recall Kurz did a vid on this, but that's more simplified to try to crunch down the complex physics (even if it does dive into it anyways, along with referring to the use of light instead of mass)... Alas, this and the "Black Hole Bomb" video work well for understanding how one could use a spinning black hole for power.
I love how both of my favorite TH-cam channels made episodes about how to steal energy from a blackhole First favorite, Kyle Hill Second favorite, Kurzgesagt
Ignore the trolls Kyle, you are one of the best people and channels on YT...who cares if you're covering a topic others did...there will be a lot of overlap. Just look at the JWST, hundreds maybe thousands of channels have had similar stories on it. Just do your thing, your uniqueness and creativity stands out.
I like how you are using a form of backlighting to make your hair not get cropped partly out video keying of your background. Just about as genius as the entertaining turning of the tenis ball ;). I'd of personally pulled the Home Improvement moto and went power drill on that thing :).
Just stumbled across your channel, totally love it! New fan! You know, Star Trek: TNG suggested this possibility back in the 90’s. Romulan Warbirds we’re supposedly powered by an “artificial quantum singularity”… a little black hole. Be great if we could get the engineers to rig something up!
The singularity reactor would explain why no one knew what the Romulans looked like until the 2400’s. Any time a warbird was destroyed the containment around the singularity would fail, and ship would pretty much just implode into it, likely with scuttling charges to make it crumple up to fit.
It seems like this would be most “feasible” with a micro black hole, where you simultaneously utilize the Hawking radiation to recover the initial imputed energy used to creat the blackhole and the Penrose process for net energy gain. I’m not sure if you’d get net energy gain from what you used to create the blackhole, but it would be a super powerful battery.
There's one hard Sci Fi novel, "The Compleat MacAndrew" by Charles Sheffield that uses rotating electrically charged black holes as starship power sources, and it's pretty good, I really recommend it, Kyle, assuming you haven't read it already.

Hey Kyle, your content is brings me back to the joy of my elementary bill nye days.

new head canon: "they're all gonna look gross" being your main worry convinces me that you are ageless and are going to stay at 20 until 2550
Edit: as long as we don't all die
Its like a black hole slingshot where the black hole is the mechanism that pulls the material and flinging it/ part of it away.
Awesome vid bro!
Explained one of the most difficult things I've ever learned in such a simple way. You deserve a price!
That price would be approximately tree fiddy
I really dig these new effects in your videos Kyle!
I have to stop myself from thinking about space, the anxiety of time really gets to me.
Not only is Kyle a Neflix-Adaptation Thor, but he's ALSO a midwestern Yuri Lowenthal voice-double.
What I like about people such as Kyle is that I feel like I'm watching classic Discovery channel
The Keanu-style „woah” was not needed, but much appreciated :D
thanks for having the ad IMMEDIATELY, ik that sounds like sarcasm but i mean it, i'd rather have it immediately than half way into the video
1:15 "New Zilund". Nice touch.
"Yass, drag spacetime" in a campy voice, followed by a snort. That was catastrophic xD
More Kyle yay! And glad to see you're having fun with your new toy I mean the drone 😜. It is pretty sweet tho
3:31 I saw it in theaters and I can honestly say it’s better with age. Hated it originally, now I have a sort of respect for it.
9:35 we just got done bamboozled into heisting a blackhole. By our very own discount Thor.
11:20 Thanks for reminding us of that Kyle. Humanity needs to go to the stars…….before we (accidentally?) nuke ourselves back to stardust!
I recall Kurz did a vid on this, but that's more simplified to try to crunch down the complex physics (even if it does dive into it anyways, along with referring to the use of light instead of mass)... Alas, this and the "Black Hole Bomb" video work well for understanding how one could use a spinning black hole for power.
9:47 Petition to rename the Ergosphere to the Jobsphere xD
Yes, I can tell my friends about blackhole physics, they love it when I talk about science.
I love how both of my favorite TH-cam channels made episodes about how to steal energy from a blackhole
First favorite, Kyle Hill
Second favorite, Kurzgesagt
4:30 Thor now giving science lessons?
Ignore the trolls Kyle, you are one of the best people and channels on YT...who cares if you're covering a topic others did...there will be a lot of overlap. Just look at the JWST, hundreds maybe thousands of channels have had similar stories on it. Just do your thing, your uniqueness and creativity stands out.
I like how you are using a form of backlighting to make your hair not get cropped partly out video keying of your background. Just about as genius as the entertaining turning of the tenis ball ;). I'd of personally pulled the Home Improvement moto and went power drill on that thing :).
I sometimes wonder and think about what would happen if you did a lot of these experiments in zero gravity
Just stumbled across your channel, totally love it! New fan! You know, Star Trek: TNG suggested this possibility back in the 90’s. Romulan Warbirds we’re supposedly powered by an “artificial quantum singularity”… a little black hole. Be great if we could get the engineers to rig something up!
The singularity reactor would explain why no one knew what the Romulans looked like until the 2400’s. Any time a warbird was destroyed the containment around the singularity would fail, and ship would pretty much just implode into it, likely with scuttling charges to make it crumple up to fit.
Saw the Kurzgesagt video. I feel the Honey demonstration you showed added something valuable to help us all understand how the process works.
It sounds pretty much like the gravitational slingshot that spacecraft get when they pass by a planet, except on a much larger scale.
9:28 INTERSTELLAR!! Exactly how they escaped the gargantula
Demonstrating frame drag with honey, never expected that. Genius!
It seems like this would be most “feasible” with a micro black hole, where you simultaneously utilize the Hawking radiation to recover the initial imputed energy used to creat the blackhole and the Penrose process for net energy gain. I’m not sure if you’d get net energy gain from what you used to create the blackhole, but it would be a super powerful battery.
There's one hard Sci Fi novel, "The Compleat MacAndrew" by Charles Sheffield that uses rotating electrically charged black holes as starship power sources, and it's pretty good, I really recommend it, Kyle, assuming you haven't read it already.
"gravity is a harness
*i have harnessed the harness"*
I read a series of books where at one point they used a black hole for energy. It was called Invasion Earth series.
