    I'm pretty sure Cody made the thumbnail and title like that as a parody, or maybe satire to show what TH-cam has become.
    Also so he doesn't incite violence.

    • @oivinf
      @oivinf 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Having actually made up this title (Over on Cody's facebook page if you don't believe me); yes it was a parody. And I originally had it say [NOT CLICKBAIT] at the end as well to make it more obvious. That being said, I think Cody def. could be better at drawing an audience with titles and thumbnails sometimes, even though some people seem to think you lose integrity - I don't. I think that TH-cam throws wrenches in the machinery constantly, and as a creator, it's your job to make do the best you can with what you're given. If that is "TH-cam faces" and clickbait titles, does it even matter in the end? Isn't the content what we should be caring about if we're actually Cody fans? I sure think so

    • @ganaraminukshuk0
      @ganaraminukshuk0 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    • @eclectichoosier5474
      @eclectichoosier5474 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      When you hammer the foil together, you create areas of greater and lesser density/hardness, that dissolve at different rates. When you stop the reaction and wash it, you end up with a texture, where the softer areas dissolve more than the harder areas. Etching also emphasizes grain boundaries in the metal.

      i figured the 'trending' was just paid placement with a couple 'real' trending like how restaurant mashed potatoes are box flakes with one 'real' potato for lumps to make you think the whole thing is 'real' potatoes. same with restaurant guacamole. this makes the 'trending' page, maximum profit with a sprinkle of authenticity.

      Maybe Cody is on to something, and a smiling face helps the algo decide it's a "good" video...

I too used to watch his videos for the great content and not the titles or thumbnails. Not that what he's putting up now isn't great, it's just changed into very mainstream channel drifting from its educational aspirations.

    I used to be a goldsmith for several years. Never seen a vibrating gold ball but I did make a ring before that had a noticeable pulse at approx. the same frequency as a human heart. It was creepy but it stopped after about 10 seconds. Only happened once and I made hundreds of rings etc

    • @seanrh4294
      @seanrh4294 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have considered this possibility but I made several hundred rings and other jewelry (mostly from scratch). It was only one time and I remember it very well. It was a silver Ring with approx. 95% Silver and 5% Copper in the alloy.

    • @seanrh4294
      @seanrh4294 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      After making so much jewelry I think I can tell but who knows what the explanation was for this. I don't have the ring anymore. I don't know where it is right now,sold it, so it is not for sale ;) ....

  • @connorwilliams3451
    @connorwilliams3451 6 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    THE MOTION ANSWER: The people commenting on how the oscillation might be like a modified Stirling engine are very close! The movement IS caused by a differential thermal expansion/contraction across the multiple inner spheres as well as adiabatic expansion in the gas content of the inner spaces, but the differential itself is not driven by gaseous motion or displacement, although it does play a minor role since the ball is in contact with the anvil which acts as a heat sink, but since it is a sphere the point of contact is tiny and thus so is the thermal transfer, relatively.
    Instead, the motion of the balls is driven by a harmonic expansion/contraction in the surface area of the spheres, which itself is driven by the difference in the annealing rates of the outer and inner spheres as they first gain and then lose heat in sequence from the outside -> in. Using a point source of heating exacerbates this since there is also a major difference in heating/cooling rates from the point-contacts of the spheres upon each other which is dependent on the relative distance between the direction of heating and the direction of gravity, which is the resting-state point of contact for all of the inner spheres and thus the major point of heat transfer between them. Gold is not the only substance that shows this property as many metals with a high thermal conductivity and large crystal grain structures also show harmonic oscillation as grain boundaries are broken and re-formed.
    Essentially when crystal grains in the material are broken under heating, they release mechanical strain as energy which causes a minute linear expansion/contraction in the material and on a (theoretically perfect) sphere this takes the form of a small force being imparted perpendicular to the surface. Thus, anything on the outside of the sphere is pushed outward and anything resting on an inside surface is pushed toward the center. This force is incredibly small but is magnified during high rates of crystal breakage/forming. Vibrations within the surface area of a circle/sphere are by definition harmonic in nature, i.e. why a wine glass "sings" and so given enough time and a reasonably consistent ratio of crystal formation/breakage, the motion of the inner spheres will settle into the lowest energy harmonic state.
    You could easily test this by heating the gold sphere with a symmetrical heating element (non-point source) until you reach the point of full general annealing where mechanical stress is at minimum, which for 990 gold is something like 1400-1500 F. Then you SHOULD see the oscillation slowly become smaller as the internal spheres also reach mechanical minimum in turn from the outside -> in.
    However, if you tried this and saw something different like the oscillation continuing or even increasing... well then that would be very, very interesting indeed!

Sure, the expression is exaggerated but there's nothing objectively clickbaity about it. You feel, subjectively, that his expression is OTT and/or terrifying, and the contents of the ball/video aren't *that* exciting. Others may well disagree. But as long as he's showing what he's saying he's showing, and the thumbnail doesn't blatantly lie about the video contents (which it doesn't) then it's really not clickbait.

      @sbreheny 6 ปีที่แล้ว +82

      Gold is used for specialty mirrors because it has slightly better reflectivity at infrared wavelengths than aluminum, and also because it doesn't tarnish at all at room temperature. It's not used so much for visible light mirrors because of the yellow color. If you have a layer of gold which is less than 1000 atoms thick, then you can see through it and it acts as a light filter allowing more blue and green light through than yellow (it is yellow colored on reflection and blue-green on transmission)
