When can I expect a research paper showing the depth of cut versus the probability of an even split?
Great idea! I’ll put that on the to do list. One thing you would find interesting, apparently crack propagation proceeds at a 45° angle in ductile materials and a 90° angle in brittle materials. So, I could get an even cleaner split if I scored it and then froze it in liquid nitrogen to bring the cream into the brittle region
You are the man.
As someone who works in electronics and metrology stuff professionally… I’m usually stuck at home….. lonesome in my own lab.… Like Gollum stuffed over and some dark corner days at a time sing at exponentially smaller and smaller variances in numbers and math (math is something I’ve never been skilled at and have always had to work ridiculously hard for my little bit of understanding) 😂
Therefore I stream TH-cam (mostly just the audio) about 12 hours a day seven days a week in my lab to keep me from going insane. And i’ve done that over the last 10 years with few breaks.
You are one of the best and most talented/gifted people I’ve ever found through TH-cam. Very rarely I find folks like you… Who only make videos rarely. And I completely understand why….. you can’t waste a ton of time with videos and stuff because you have so much to offer the world. because of your insane talents and skill set… I completely get it why you can’t waste much of your time making videos for TH-cam.
You have so much to offer and it’s awesome to know that folks like you are out holding the world together. even though I don’t get to meet them personally much of the time. Rock on brother 🤘😁👍🤘
Oh my gosh thank you for that super positive and encouraging comment! I really appreciate it.
Per production quality this is probably one of the most underrated channels on platform
I love the way you presented the solution finding process! "You put it in the microwave and then... it doesn't work at all! Well, if not heat then cold! Nope, it got worse!" xD
Haha thank you so much!
I needed that laugh this morning....you are WAY BETTER than Bill Nye the Science Guy! Love it!
OMG Janis thank you so much! It is really, really nice to see such a sweet comment like this. Thank you. I'm checking out your channel now!
Definitely cheating, but in a MacGyvery science way! 😁
Great video, Ian! 😂 I love it!
Thanks friend! Also thanks for the tips on the 3D print timelapse. Did you see it whisk by at 5:48 ?
@@iancharnas Yes I did! Well done on the subliminal messaging! 😍
I loved that touch Ian! I've been meaning to try out a print time lapse animation since I saw it in Make.
Such Genius. What will Ian discover next? The WRONG way to eat a Reese's??? 😉
Haha rocket launched Reese's is definitely the wrong way. ;-)
Great to see you back! I was thinking that the solution might be to use the scalpel to split the cream centre, then add a different type of cream that will break before be original cream does to join the two halves together again.
Ooh I didn't think of that! I love the idea of replacement creme. It opens up some future project ideas...
I'm probably only one human being that doesn't like Oreos, but I really appreciate the effort that went into this video.
Thanks for the super nice comment!
Video quality is on top. Great work
Yes! Thank you so much! Comments like these really make my day.
Maybe your scalpel blades are ultra rare collectors edition with that packaging haha. Great video, Ian! You keep getting better and better!
Oh haha maybe I'll open it up and there'll be a Gold Pikachu in there in between the blades 🙂
That was super dope, man! Subscribed!
Honestly amazing, life-changing invention, Ian.
Haha thank you so much :-)
cool experiment!
honestly, strength of materials would have been soooo much more interesting with Oreos! Great job!!!
Hehe strongly agree!!
Could be an IgNobel prize in this!!! Although the physics prize has already been awarded to Len Fisher for the optimal dunking time of a biscuit. Kind of close, although he was trying to avoid losing the glassy state instead of inducing it.
Alan great idea! How do we submit? One improvement I think can be made here, there is a small dimple left in the center of the creme that I think is caused because the frozen creme is probably a ductile solid. If I instead use LN2 to freeze it, that will likely put it in the brittle solid region, which is important because shearing a ductile material results in a 45 degree crack but shearing a brittle material results in a 90 degree crack. All this to say that the dimple can likely be avoided by freezing with LN2, leaving an even more perfect split.
@@iancharnas You don't win IgNobel prize. IgNobel prize wins you.
Now I know! I'll have to try this!
I laughed so hard I almost split myself.
Hehe thanks Marc :-)
you are amazing, again. Have a nice day sir!
Mehmet thank you so much!!
I have an idea and you are just the man to make it a reality. The world needs an automatic mechanism to clean solar cells way up there on the roof. Water supply, squeegee, moving parts, sensors, all at deadly height above the ground!!! Maybe you could complete the circle and have the device use solar generated electricity…
Hey Andrew that's a great idea! Like a roomba for solar panels, or maybe a windshield wiper design.
@@iancharnas I will gladly be a beta tester!
This was such an interesting concept. I learned a ton. Thank you Ian!
OMG thank you so much!
Legally Creme should be your band name.
Love the video, hilarious!! That green screen shot of you twisting the platform is gold.
Haha I love "Legally Creme" - sounds like it'd be a mockumentary about Oreos vs Hydrox or something. Hehe
Finally!!!
Haha I will always be here for you, doing the important science.
I watched the video all the way through. I don't know why :))). Very fun and great way to start off a Friday. Where did you get that jacket with the white piping? xxx
Hi Aunt Jeanne! Glad you liked my video, it's a fun hobby. The jacket came from a thrift store, although when and where I could not remember
Excellent 👍🍪
Strongly agree, hahahah thanks friend
This is all quite incredible. I'm really surprised a laser wasn't invoked after the water jet failed. We may never know if it could have worked!
Wow man!! absolutely genius
That was good sir.!!
Thank you so much! I LOVE seeing comments like this :-)
This whole video is an absolutely insane amount of work for 1k views lol
Ahaha that's so, so true.
If anyone can do it, Ian can!
Haha thanks Noah. I feel the same way about you friend :-)
MOAR SUBSCRYBARRRSSSS! F*cking YT-algorithm..
Now we just need a way to realistically seal the package, and you have a cool magic party trick!
Totally! I brought this to a camp I teach at to show the staff and they had a blast with this.
Other factors at play here: water in the creme freezing to ice, volume expands by 9% as ice forms, which might help crack propagation. Also sugar crystals might precipitate from the ice during freezing, contributing to crack propagation?
Interesting points!
@@iancharnas For your 2nd food science PhD, you can compare crack propagation of fractionated vegetable oil (current?), partially hydrogenated vegetable oil with trans fat (1970s thru 2000) and lard (pre 1970s). PS, love that slicer you invented! Patent it and sell it to Nabisco! I hope you get compensated for this video! It's gonna sell a lot of cookies!
(I think the knockoff oreo "Hydrox" is named after hydrogenated vegetable oil?)
@@DFEUERMAN I was looking this up during the project. I was curious about Hydrox too. It turns out Hydrox is the original, and Nabisco copied them and called it Oreo, after the flower seen embossed on Hydrox (Oreodaphne). Hydrox stands for "hydrogen and oxygen" as in water. It was a statement against the unclean foods at the time (I think early 1900's) that included sand and other non edibles as fillers. Many foods were called Hydrox then and it meant "clean" to people at the time. Interesting no?
@@iancharnas Wow, super-interesting! Thank you! Good 'ol Oxygen Di-hydride :) I wonder why the Oreodaphne was selected? Amazing how so many food brands start off as touting their superior quality or nutrition based on the understanding at the time (and good marketing.) These cookies have "fully alkalized" cocoa (aka "dutch process"), which is why the cookies are so jet-black. Exposing the cocoa to (i think) Potassium Hydroxide creates a distinctive flavor and is less bitter but has no antioxidants like the un-alkalized "natural" cocoa. Food for thought. Thank you, Sir Ian! Keep up the amazing work!
That is so cool!
love this
OMG thank you so much!
@@iancharnas OMG U REPLIED IMA HAVE A HEAT ATTACK
@@burnsfamily1616 haha I try to reply to every comment, especially super nice ones like yours 🙂I have a bunch of fun projects coming up, subscribe and click the bell for notifications if you'd like to see more! All family friendly.
@@iancharnas already done :)
@@iancharnas When can i expect a new vid??
you out cremed the MIT
Haha glad you liked it :-)
I'm surprised you didn't use a thin wire to cut the "cream" or a heated wire like nichrome.
Yeah that could be a fun project! I wanted to see that "surprise" though where I let my friends twist it to separate the oreos. I guess I could have used a thin metal wire to cut instead of the scalpel. Good to consider.
Xyla Told me too check out your channel.
Hi Scott! Welcome to my channel. Make yourself at home 🙂I'll put out some snacks shortly.
Mega stuff does it by its self
After seeing your initial hot and cold experiments I thought the answer would be having the inside hot but the outside cold. Maybe microwaving the cookies then dunking them in LN2. Anyway, your creation at 2:10 is clearly the best way to consume Oreos without specialized equipment.
Thanks for the super nice comment!
I'd consider a vacuum chamber to be specialized equipment.
Skip to about 5:00 for the answer
groundbreaking
Agree! Haha thank you :-)
Na! Good one Ian, it’s Pat from e14.
Thanks Pat 🙂 I owe you some communications!
Ha! That was supposed to be a ha ha ha! Very funny and well executed.
I don't see a raffle link... Am I missing something?
Hi Theresa! Thanks for pointing that out. I added it as a comment but it looks like I forgot to pin it so it was hard to find. I've just pinned it and also here's the link: ingenuity.rallyup.com/creme-cutter

I don't know how you think you can just get away with showing us the creme cutter and not linking us an STL for it. I know you're giving that one away, but that's too much power for only one person to wield
Haha I'm working on it. I think I'll make an instructable.
@@iancharnas Yeah, I came here looking for that too
@@ThatPrimate right on, that's more encouragement for me to finish the instructable!
Good things come to those who wait 🙂
