I love how he puts his hand on top of the blender lid
Because 14.7 lb per square inch of atmosphere isn't enough
Yeah I noticed that too 😄
That's exactly what I was thinking 😂
haha you so smart?! never owned Blendtec?
Or he's holding it so the container doesn't fly off of the base.
Conditioned reflex.
There's so much I want to try out with this vacuum blender setup.
Vacuum Blender vs Regular Blender:
- Taste test of blended foods and drinks.
- Is there a difference in cooking time, taste and texture for blended things like tomatoes?
- Does one blender clean up easier than the other after use?
- Which one blends faster, quieter and yields better overall texture smoothness, or crunchiness for the blended items?
- Does either one result in more nutritious blended output?
- Is there any difference in how either blended output form either blender is digested by the human body?
- Is there a difference in the acidic level of blended output of things such as tomatoes?
- Does simply putting drinking water by itself in the Vacuum Blender and blending it under pressure change it's alkalinity at all?
- Does egg fry differently if blended in the vacuum blender?
- What happens if you blend honey and molasses in the vacuum blender?
I could go and on and on lol.
You could do a video series on it!
time for some breakthrough science!Or cooking series
Keep going!
I love to see how the experiments shown on this channel work to stimulate people's minds - it's wonderful.
How much more effective is the vacuum blender at dispersing flavours or colours throughout a liquid? Some flavors are fatty acids & some colours aren't normally water soluble - could this mix them anyway?
What else could you use it for..?
having a vacuum blender, the taste is always much better, but especially with foods that oxydise easily
Vaccum blender vs normal blender goes on an' on an" on an' on an' on an' on an' on

Lol, so did mine when I blew a head gasket. Water and oil mixed in the crank with minimal air resulted in milk-like substance.

For realsies. I am that impressionable.
@@1CT1 why? what context does this have to the original comment?

The whole time he's talking about science, I'm watching him swirl the glass and mentally shouting... "DRINK THE OIL MILK!! WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT TASTES LIKE!!!"
THANK YOU! We must have the forbidden milk

Greasy water. Yummm
He said he was gonna but then he didn't. >:(
Yeah. Namely he could do it with coconut oil mixed with some sugar to get something that might taste half-decent.
I really like the origin of that blender, given the history of TH-cam! Just think about it, without "Will it blend? That is the question" there might not have been a hydraulic press channel, and thus this channel likely wouldn't have featured crushing things with a hydraulic press when it first started out, or the audience might not have grown as much as it did. Your channel is definitely its own unique thing and stands on the shoulders of giants, and it's interesting to see the path that everything took to lead us here!
Doesn't "will it blend" come after the show "is it a good idea to microwave this?"
@@anthonyc2663 Yes it does, which I thought to mention as well, but he mentions that his blender comes from the Blendtec company and mentions the Will it Blend channel, which is why I thought it was neat that it wraps around that way. But yes, that's likely where the inspiration for that, if not the audience, came from!
@@anthonyc2663 I watched that show too
Still can't help myself muttering "dont breethe that" every time I see a Blendtec blender in the wild :) Those were the good old days of the internet.
Damn I remember that! I specifically remember them blending Bic lighters
You can make an even finer emulsion by phase inversion. Find the ratio at which this becomes a water-in-oil rather than an oil-in-water emulsion. It is readily detectable by a rapid drop in electric conductivity. If you add just a bit of water to this emulsion and mix it will change phase, and in the process break down the droplets to much smaller size. You can then add some O/W emulsion and change phase again, etc.
This way should be possible to achieve a translucent emulsion or even a transparent nano-emulsion.
without an emulsifier the emulsion is only stable as long as the oil droplets cannot coalesce so I don't think that would work if you have too much oil
Will it dilute in a larger amount of water like a tincture?
@@derrickthomas1742 I’m not sure I understand what you mean by that. Emulsions can be diluted just like you can dilute milk in water.
"But first, let me take a drink of this milk. Only, it's not milk."
*Oh. Oh no.*
I had no clue oil-water mixing could be modified so thoroughly under vacuum. Wild.
Another perk of this technique is it allows reducing the lipid content in any dressing, mix or sauce and make "light" ones without any additive.
I mean there are plenty of totally safe emulsifiers tho, an industrial vacuum mixer sounds pretty expensive lol
That’s a really cool device, and I would love to have one. My max price was about half what retail is though. I’ll keep my eyes on it and hopefully it will go down some day
get yourself a small engine no one wants that still runs. Put water in the crank case and run it I promise you'll mix water and oil in all it's milky glory.
@@captainfancypants4933 small engine is the perfect place to mix your home made Alfredo so it won’t separate when reheated 👌🏽👍🏼
I find it interesting that James* reflexively puts his hand on the lid of the blender to keep it from flying off. However, because of the vacuum, there's already over 500 lb of force pushing the lid down.
*I had to look up his name, because I realized I had no idea who the "Action Lab guy" was, despite watching his videos for a few years.

Cool, another video from the Action Vacuum Lab ! 😂
Science experiments are never boring with you. 👍👍
3:55 The sound of the vacuum working is like a set of dying bagpipes!! 😂
From the comments of another poster in one of the sub-threads, it seems like after a few days enough air gets back into the water that the oil separates out. Probably would happen quicker if you re-blended under air -- should try this out in a follow-up video. Also wonder if all gases are equal for catalyzing re-separation, or if some would be better than others (for instance, air vs pure nitrogen vs pure oxygen vs helium vs carbon dioxide)?
Good to know. Thanks 👍
Could store it under vacuum as long as you had a container strong enough to get it to be shelf-stable long-term then. For most immediate-use purposes that's plenty of time, though. I wonder if just being in a sealed container with minimal air would be enough to prevent it from reverting, though, rather than an open container?
This is fairly well-known on the alternative-fuels scene (particularly with jet-engine hobbyists). There is something called HydroDiesel or WIDE (Water-in-Diesel Emulsion) which is essentially regular diesel oil emulsified with water; of course, a jet engine will also run on any other oil, so WIFE (Water-in-Food Oil Emulsion) is possible and, for some applications, preferable. Get the balance right and you have an excellent engine coolant and a fuel which burns more efficiently. The downside is that WIDE has an expiration date and mustn't be stored for long periods.
Love your channel. Your experiments are always so unique. Are you going to do a video about your background and how you come up with ideas? Does your face still tingle when you put your strong magnet close?
Super cool! Could you add the article to the video description, I'd love to read it!
That's remarkable. This would work well with homemade moisturizers
This is what I was thinking, but I’m finding that it separates after some time. I sell products so I’m looking to find more info on it separating. Like if maybe it’ll separate after time, but a simple shake will put it back together in its milky form.
This might be one of the best ads of all time and I love it!
I know of artists which use two-part clear *Epoxy Resins* in their artworks.
• These products need significant mixing between the resin & hardener components, which unfortunately may introduce bubbles into the liquid (which, if you want the final product to be crystal clear, really sucks).
• The ideal way to remove the bubbles is to put the beaker into a vacuum chamber, causing the high-pressure air bubbles to foam out (as the pressure drops), until the liquid resin becomes utterly clear.
• This device combines both blender & vacuum chamber in an elegant way - though you'd obviously need to test it with Epoxy Resin to confirm that it's effective.
• To prevent the resin from adhering to the blender walls, you could perhaps coat them with a release agent.
• This may also work with two-part Silicones.
Exactly what i was thinking
Very intriguing product, I like it! Definitely not going to pay over $200 for a blender lid though. Could make a more versatile complete system myself for less than a third of that.
Proper vacuum pump and a few fittings and vinyl tube as we dont need high vacuum are enough
@binomalia a vacuum cleaner is dirty actually. it reintroduce the dusts and dirt that had been sucked beforehand. a vacuum pump for fridge gas refills is probably a good apparatus for this
Now you need to find out if flies can fly in there under vacuum with the blender running.
Fascinating! Great video!
just blew my mind with the vacuum sealer for a blender... amazing...
What happens if you blend the emulsion again, but now under normal atmosphere?
Will the oxygen that you mix in "destroy" the emulsion (causing the oil and water to separate soon after remixing)?
Blending will make the oil droplets coalesce anyway so yeah I think you'd be back to square one
@@user-qn9ku2fl2b probably halfway between square 2 and 1
Yeah, calling this a stable emulsion is a bit of a lie sadly. Given enough time no emulsion is stable even though it could take decades or longer for actual emulsified oil and water blends. This though, just by shaking it enough or stirring it mildly to will break emulsion. It's cool but should not be considered stable.
@@paradoxxf I've made some drinks with olive oil/water blended in vacuum and served over ice and it stayed emulsified ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for at least the ~1hr I was sipping on it
@@djestouffHow did you make a vacuum? You have one of those blenders?
I've always wondered how to blend my black coffee with grass fed butter or coconut oil. This will probably make it mix well.
Thank you for this! Can you tell me how long the oil and water stays mixed? How long would they need to blend to become properly emulsified? Finally, would you recommend this process for a small business that makes hair products?
This was pretty interesting. I have been trying to duplicate Ballistol pre-mix with canola oil.
Vacuum works wonders
This can also be achieved in a pressure system. When water gets in a hydraulic system, it produces the same milk colored fluid
That’s so cool! I wish I had known about this when I was researching which blender to buy.
What if you blended in an atmosphere purged of air and introduced other gases, whipped cream dispensers use nitrous oxide not carbon dioxide as it makes the cream acidic.
it will depend on whether you're using a polar or a non-polar gas
he is the only creator that maintains mildly interesting content whilst slowly, but steadily getting better at it.
I think that’s the point. Some content creators keep upping the ante too fast that they eventually reach the ceiling and no longer have any viable ideas.
amasing video.he deserves at least two times more subs than he does now
Does anyone still remember "Will it blend?". That's exactly the Blender of Blendtec. Good ol' times.
How would degassed water as a cleaning product work? Like would you have to clean very gently or clean quickly before gas reentered? Also, would you be able to make the same milky emulsion with degassed water and oil mixed gently so as to not introduce air, outside of the vacuum chamber?
How long is it stable for? Does it eventually separate over time?
what you you mean "eventually over time". If you have a million years before you, certainly. The real question is: how long do you have to wait-an hour, a day, a week?
@@user-qn9ku2fl2b That's the dumbest response I've ever heard
Always amazed about how simple water still has a few mysteries... 🤔
It is a remarkable substance.
well that's the thing. "simple water" isn't that "simple", there's lots of dissolved minerals and gases
Damm thats awesome! So many possibilities come to mind when watching this. 🙂
i saw a video about a researcher who was studying the effects of the surface of water. in it he explains a small zone is created with significant electrical differences on either side which creates very unusual properties.
perhaps this has something to do with the emulsification in the absence of air.
can you please tell me where that video is?
Hi there. how long can this mixture last in stable emulsion? Will the oil and water eventually separate after awhile?
VERY interesting and thought provoking lesson. Thanks! I will probably get one of these for my BlendTec. The applications could be limitless! My only question is how long does that remain stable for? Indefinitely?
I'm also trying to find an answer to this. I found this in an academic paper titled "De-gassed water and surfactant-free emulsions (SFEMs): History,
controversy, and possible applications" in the part on using SFEMs in pharmaceuticals:
Phase separation due to creaming of the emulsion occurred after days, as experienced in other studies. However, slow separation may not be a problem for this application, since if gassed oil-water-drug mixtures are stored in airtight containers then SFEM's can be regenerated merely by shaking.
Then in another article titled "The effect of dissolved gas on coalescence of oil drops studied with microfluidics", I found this:
At ambient pressure, the degassing of the continuous phase reduced the extent of coalescence for the model oils, which is in agreement with other reports.
So it seems that they DO eventually separate back out, but it takes much more time and could be somewhat prevented by keeping the mixture in an air-tight container.
@@rosselliot Thanks for letting me know!🙏🏽 It's still very exciting, because like you said you could seal this off like in a canning process, and it sounds like we could get a very long time. This is awesome!! Thanks again💯
Thank you for this!
Talking about food industry, in the last years it's more and more common to find light mayonnaise that has half the calories of regulare mayo, where the first ingredient is just water. That's probably how they blend it in
Kinda curious what happens if there is more oil than water
I would like to see what the mix would have looked like with your vacuum blender, but without sucking the air out before, also what does the "milky" mix look like after several hours or days settling.
Have you never mixed oil and water? It would look mixed for a number of seconds, as show in the stir test, and then revert right back to separate substances.
@@boots7859 mixed, yes; blended no.
I would also love a side by side comparison, also with fluids that have been under vacuum longer or only briefly before blending (so dissolved air has less time to escape), or fluids that are covered by something so they interact with the air/vacuum in the chamber less.
I heard that if you put it on a heater it starts smelling really bad
The vaccuum chamber, an everyday appliance!!
Now I need to get one
"Oil floats on wa-"
"Damn, trolled back"
Okay, two major questions. First, what happens to the emulsion if you pour it into water? Does it simply dilute and spread through the water or does it separate into the original oil and water? Second, what happens if you pour it into salt, or sea, water? I'm very interested in the results here.
Hmm well I’m pretty sure if you add water it’d stay emulsified but maybe if you add both oil and water they’ll stay separate. Emulsified things tend to stay emulsified when you add more tho
How long will it stay mixed if left alone?
1 minute. Not kidding. If your thinking of how use this for this application it's totally false information. I bought the whole complete void blender with lid. It does not mix water and oil. You'll need a emulsifier this is bad information
The perfect April fools prank
One of your more useful videos 🤩
A few days ago I was playing with my children and decided to make a cylinder with some liquid stacked. I put water, soap, oil and they were perfectly separated, everything was beautiful and even after mixing, they would return in their shapes. Then, I decided to try to add some other liquid to see if it would mix, and I added black vinegar. Well, the entire experiment went destroyed: everything mixed together in a unique single liquid black in color and there was no way to get the 4 liquids separated again. I'm not good in chemistry and I could not explain this. Would you be able to explain this? Thank you very much! Love.
What kinda soap, because you just saw that the purpose of soap is to be able to mix oil and water.
On a microscopic level thats why we use soap to clean. So?
You need the right amount of each as well.
Do you have hard water? Sometimes stuff can be dissolved in the water making things weird. Not really sure tho, kind of an odd sequence of events. Something must’ve been preventing the first three to mix well but sounds a bit like salad dressing+soap lol
It's interesting everyone keeps comparing only the color to milk when milk itself is an oil in water emulsification. The fat and the skim are mechanically emulsified by a homogenizer. Another great instrument of mechanical emulsification that the action lab should explore.
Action Lab:
1. how long will it stay mixed? (at room temp & if stored refrigerated)
2. What happens if you bring it to a boil?
3. What if you degas but re-gas water with pure nitrogen, argon or some other gases: is the issue caused by dissolved oxygen, or any gas?
Thanks for another great video! You mentioned reading a paper about vacuum emulsification. Could you post a reference to the paper? Curious about the stability of the emulsification without emulsifier or surfactant!
Pashley, R.M. 2003. Effect of degassing on the formation and stability of surfactant-free emulsions and fine teflon dispersions, Journal of Physical Chemistry B, vol. 107, pp. 1714 - 1720.
Abstract:
The results reported here demonstrate that the formation of surfactant-free, oil-in-water emulsions is significantly enhanced by the almost complete removal of dissolved gases. However, in an apparent contradiction, the reintroduction of dissolved gases does not destabilize already formed emulsions. Removal of dissolved gases enables the formation of much more turbid and stable hydrocarbon oil in water emulsions, which can be further studied without the effects of various additives, often needed as stabilizers. The observations reported here suggest that the dispersion of oil droplets in water is opposed by an attractive, hydrophobic force, which is dependent on the presence of dissolved gas. However, once formed, the stability of the emulsions appeared to be unaffected by any attractive hydrophobic force, in either gassed or degassed conditions. Degassing was also found to enhance the dispersion of fine Teflon particles in water.
1:01 Correction: Hydrophilic end goes in the water not in the oil and the hydrophobic end goes in the oil and not the water.
In layman's terms, hydrophilic means having affinity to water and hydrophobic means having aversion to water.
Hydrophilic part consists of an inorganic part of the molecule like OH-, O- etc. Hydrophobic part consists of an organic part of the molecule like a long carbon-hydrogen chain.
His picture looks correct must’ve just mixed em up while saying them. Gotta imagine he knows the difference between phobic/philic most people do.
Surely there's gotta be someone who watched this video and thought this could be done much cheaper with a simple FoodSaver-type adapter lid if you already own a vacuum sealer.
i love how 1 guy literally covers my whole science book
Egg yolks and mustard blend oil and water as well. Chef's/cooks call them binders. It would be interesting to have a chef make a dressing using your method. 😂
Question, so if you hit the mixture with a florescent light would it reflect a florescent light or color?
I also really want to know this
Okay cool, but where's the my little pony figurine?
You can also use a piezo atomizer to mix them, we did it in school as a project when I was younger :)
As cool as all these experiments are, they will never be as cool as you. I’m new but this Chanel is great !
You turned your blender into a vacuum chamber. I am officially impressed.
@The Action Lab I think this vaccum device is helpful to remove oxygen from our daily used eating products. Is it healthier to
consume less oxygenated things rather than oxygen-rich ones? I mean which one is healthier between both apple juices?
I think its more about the taste and looking....
i think the idea is that those compounds in the apple for instance will readily bond with oxygen and free radicals in the digestive system thus removing them. Maybe that's better for digestion? I'm not sure but I know that highly processed foods are almost certainly completely oxidized where as fresh foods are not at all. It's a neat concept. I'd love to see more videos exploring this.
It might be overkill to start vacuum blending just to keep the anti-oxidants. My guess is that a varied, healthy diet with enough fresh food provides enough as it is.
Dude you are so cool. Thank you bless you and your family love from Trinidad and Tobago
"Only, it's not milk" _Ominous music plays_
He knew what he was doing.
Holy shit this is like milk from scratch
But without the protein.
Can you bubble air through the oil-water-vacuum mix and separate them again?
I am not a scientist or anything but my theory is that no. It wouldn't work as the two liquids have mixed together to make one liquid, so adding air back wouldn't work.
Other methods might work like how platelets are separated from blood.
You can seperate it through centrifugation. Or if you leave them long enough, gravity will do it's job and the emulsion will break by itself. Bubbling would not work. Maybe pressurized it again with air will, but this I am not sure.
You can add flocullant
Definitely so COOL 😎. And I’m imagining the Healthful properties of preparing many foods in a vacuum even before final storage. Talk about Oxidation & Free Radicals in Cellular Health! Oh yeah Health & Cellular Integrity. Geez.
This is amazing!!
Crazy. It does look just like milk. I don’t know what say now when two things don’t mix.
Never seen actual coconut milk? Like when you make it from the coconut, not the juice. Its actually white and if its left for a while it seperates into oil and water.
Not necessarily you can use a Sonic cleaning machine to get them to mix

Yeah that was my first thought of what he would do using a jeweler cleaner. You can make fine colloids that way.
Subarus do a pretty good job at this.
Awesome. Right up my alley.
How long will the oil and water stay a stable emulsion?
I was wondering the same
For a few hours. You have to maintain pressure to keep it that way.
This is an awesome question. I know in my vacuum smoothies the mix has never separated throughout a day but I always drink my smoothies before the day is over.

Essential information to know
Really neat video, one small point of contention, I believe you meant to say the hydrophobic tails aggregate around the oil while the hydrophilic heads contact the water.
mom look our neighbour is mixing pacific ocean and atlantic ocean.
Ultrasound can be used to make an oil water emulsion. Maybe the vacuum lowers the frequency needed to produce it to under what the blender does.
Could it be that the ultrasound also knocks and keeps out most of the trapped gasses, making the mixing easier to accomplish?
@@louieberg2942 it definitely seems to do the mixing part. An experiment with different frequencies, amplitudes and pressures would be interesting.
