Kudos Ben, always love to see improvements on what I thought was an insane idea to begin with. Also, thank you for the mention in the video and comments, much appreciated.
You got it! Thanks for being an inspiration. I've used several of your demos to teach and entertain kids. Your channel is a great resource.
@@Nighthawkinlight y'all thought about levitating a human? We do have curved heads... lol. I think a bit of plausibility is evident. There's math in there somewheres.
@@eriklittge9911 I'd love to see this!
Next iteration, cooking it with a powerful laser?
@@eriklittge9911 I think you'd only manage it with someone who has an efficient hair style. And you'd still need an incredibly high velocity of air to manage it.
This dude’s on a whole other level.
I'd like to know why he's wearing gloves for the demonstration @2:30? That's being on another level al right. What is he shielding his hands from?
Ahhhhhhh Cody! ❤️
Just wanna nerd out here for a second, I grew up watching you and night hawk in lights vids, thanks for sending me on the right path my man
Sure! XD
I wonder if it's possible to slow down a "burn rate" of potassium or other alkaline metals. Can you cook a hotdog with it?
It sure sounds crazy. But maybe you could use the leftover potassium salt if you still have it.
@@sailingsolar2371 He's shielding them from the exposed 110V heating element (i.e. from both the heat and the 110V)
As the end blisters and the lift vector changes and it started oscillating.... my mind froze and I realized I was thinking about the aerodynamics of the blistering tip of a hot dog. Thanks for this Ben. Also I'm hungry.
Hey fancy seeing you here!
I need a levitating almond frier
Boston Dog-namics
Thanks, I went through exactly the same process. Didn't even notice it until I noticed it. Kinda crazy, I was thinking electromagnetics, before I flipped to it.
Got you! It's hotdog magic!
Ben, you've successfully created something that none of knew we actually needed. Also, I like your recent style - more relaxed!
We are on the brink of being able to safely cook antimatter hotdogs. The future looks bright.
I would love to see this at the fair. I would pay 5$ for that.
You've finally found a weirder way to cook a hot dog than just shorting mains electricity through it.
pffft 🤔 give me a sauna and a condom, and I'll show you *THE WEIRDEST* way. 😎

It might not be efficient.
It might take longer.
It might be a waste of time...
But it's a friggin' levitating hotdog cooker!
A perfect union of science education and performance art
IKR!?
The hero we didn't know we needed
The hero we know we didn't need, but we're very happy to have anyway!
Oh hey! When is the silk update?=)
Glad to see you're still active. I miss you bro
I knew I needed NHiL
How’s the brain computer going?
We did know we needed him. I hate it when hotdogs have to touch solid surfaces while cooking it.
Cooking a floating hotdog: okay cool i guess.
Finding a way to make people watch the in video ads using a bird: This guy is a genius!
Imagine this sort of contraption in a science fair, or even a normal fair to be honest! There would be literal lines as people waited for their floating hotdogs. So novel, so cool!
Who wants cool hot dogs? Get them nice and sizzling!
I love this - inventing something nobody asked for or dreamed of - good stuff!
I live seeing TH-camrs I appreciate appreciating each other!
Like a hotdog frequency finder.
A comment from the creator of the Wobble Dog himself!
I read this comment twice - both times were with a completely different undertone. Just had to share that!
Yeah, and i actually want one. Have air compressor will travel
5:54 the joy in his eyes from that hot dog levitated and afterwards. I love watching people show off something they are fascinated about
This reminds me of the scientist who put a magnifying lens by his cigarette during a nuclear test, and lit his cigarette using the flash of the nuclear bomb. I love it. It's not about if you should. It's about if you could.
Wow, a wild Vetches in his natural habitat. That's not something you see every day.
That was hilarious. I wonder if you could use heated air instead and remove the toaster element, so the air used to levitate also cooked it at the same time. There are compressed air heaters already, but I'm willing to bet you could make one pretty easily!
Maybe. If the same levitation technique was used, the hot dog would at least need to be flipped to ensure even cooking. I still suspect that even cooking would be difficult.
Maybe taking a hot air rework station and hooking it up to a compressor would work? The higher airflow should make for lower average temperature and keep the hotdog from burning (too much)
If you use a venturi tube you can chill the beer and cook the hotdog.
Sorry, meant to say vortex tube, very similar principle though. The vortex tube is frequently used for chilling air and delivering it to your helmet for blasting and keeping a positive pressure so you don't inhale a bunch of silica dust. The output end of a vortex tube is hot as hell. I'm not sure if the differential is great enough to cook the dog or chill the beer, I guess it depends on how you design it.
You could patent this and sell it on the home shopping network. Floating food cooker.
-Waitress is my hot dog ready yet ?
- give us a moment please the scientists still cooking it .
That would be the coolest hibachi place ever
"Just a minute, the air compressor is refilling..."
Haha good point please makes sure he is not falling sleep 😴
wonderful video! and great example for explaining the effect! 🙌😎
Love the bird! You need a pressure regulator on your air compressor so that your flow on the hotdog is more stable. They are not very expensive. I don't know if this will solve the instability issues or not with using the coandra effect, but it can't hurt. I wonder if you could move the air nozzle lower between the coils so that the entire hot dog could be inside at least warm coils?
***
Between the air compressor and the heating element, that might not be the most cost effective way to cook a hotdog.
A whole new take on "Air Fryer"! What a great idea for a kid's Science Project- it would certainly be popular at lunch time!
@Hashir Easa you could put guards on it
I expect to see this in gas stations all across *_Mars_* within the *_millenia!_*
Cmon that's so unrealistic
Haliotro millennia? Certainly possible. Just give it a couple hundred years. This might be the only thing left that can hold a human’s attention span for more than 15 seconds by then.
@@spb1179 gas stations.
@@spb1179 lmao onkly thing that can hold human attention 😆😆
@@Haliotro Hydrogen gas station maybe? Honestly by then I'd figure we could levitate a hot dog with magnetic field controlled by radio waves and cook the hotdog with microwaves all in one countertop appliance.
also part of that effect is: when fluid has a difference in speed, there is also a difference in pressure. that means, the higher pressure outside the stream pushes the object inside the stream of air
I think that doesn't count in this case, because the stream of air and the surrounding air did not start at the same pressure. The stream of air had more pressure to begin with in the hose and might travel a short distance before totally equalizing. I'm not certain about that. Seems like it would be hard to measure.
@@Nighthawkinlight I wonder if anyone has applied the coanda effect to other hot dog shaped objects. 🌭🤔😅
@@NighthawkinlightI challenge you to use high pressure cooking fluid like bacon grease sprayed in a similar fashion using a glass box and catch basin to recover & recirculate the fryer temperature bacon grease to do the same "levitating effect" - younsaynthis can be done with any fluid??
Well, okay then.. let's see!
And by using bacon grease, it will taste heavenly...
So proud of himself. His eyes are lit up as he watches that floating hotdog cook. And you sir, absolutely deserve to be proud. Fun channel
You could open the worlds best Carnival, Coil/Air Fried Dawgs, Vortex Gun games, Mystical and Rare Eastern Paper Sparklers… and it’ll all run on wood gas!
Dont forget the tiny rollercoasters
And the alcohol rockets
Fun video! I showed it to my son who likes to make snarky comments, and just as he would start to question or point something out you would explain or highlight it - leaving him speechless and frustrated
Teach me your ways, master 🤣
Dan how old is your son? Teenage know it all perhaps?
It certainly sounds very familiar to me with my 16 yo son.
Awesome way to shut up a teenager!
I love how his smile never goes away, the experiment is just so absurd and fun that it shows on his face clear as day!
Nice. Out of interest, what did you use as the sheathing for the copper wire? I want to use some nichrome from a toaster as a variable dummy load for a test wind turbine, but need something both heat proof and non conductive to mount it on.
I bought some cheap thermocouples on Amazon that are sheathed in fiberglass. It slipped off easily so I could put it on a different wire. It's nasty stuff though, lots of needles that will get in your skin. Probably not the best thing near a hotdog.
You can use Fibre sleeves, it's cheap and easily slides onto copper wire or any wire you choose to use
The most technologically advanced way to cook a hot dog I've ever seen.
You always come up with very cool videos! A++
Neat feature for a Hotdog sales! No any contact, no dirt, and cool to see as a customer!
This will forever be one of my favorite youtube channels.
You are such a genuine guy. Never change!
People would pay absolutely more for visiably seeing their hotdog being cooked this way
Yeah I would pay 15 bucks for a hotdog like that
If this was electroboom,, he probly gonna touch the coil n get shocked 🤔
Not only that, but it would also attract people, and thus more customers. And the bigger crowd would then attract even more.
Didn't need the "a" in "visibly," just saying"
@@zZiL341yRj736 thanks!
We expected flying cars but we got floating Hotdogs, ain't even mad
hahahaha
You are a blessing on my TH-cam feed and you are a delight to watch. You can explain things simply enough for anyone to understand, but I never feel patronized or spoken down to. It's engaging and I enjoy how you are visibly happy doing this. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself.
All love, I have heard the so called “blow gun”, referred to many times, as a “chuck”, or “air chuck”. Makes sense, it throws, air. Or chucks air. So much positivity here! I love it!! You are an interesting cat!
I feel like the old timey music implies that this was a really popular method of cooking hotdogs in the 1890’s
I mean, look up the history of early adoption of electricity. Making stupidly dangerous stuff was common bc electricity was a new and unexplored technology. There was an "electric tablecloth" in England, with electrical contacts for light bulbs (instead of using candles to light your dinner, you see). But having live electricity running through something that's prone to having liquids spilled on it isn't exactly smart design.
This is one of these things where you know the science behind it but still, it's some kind of magic to you.
“It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works.” ― Terry Pratchett, The Wee Free Men
That's what science is all about
You can tell he loves what he's doing, and thats what makes this so great.
Back in about 63, I was about seven and had a toy with a two hand controlled fan, that could take off and land a helium balloon from one pad, a foot away, to another pad, a foot away the other side. I don't remember what they called the effect, but it wasn't what you called it, they probably didn't know the right name. I got serious into fluid dynamics because of that toy, and have made a living working and reworking engines. Very cool demonstration, caught my eye, and flashed back to that toy. Thanks for bringing me back to focus on that, I've been doing thermo-acoustic engines for about twenty five years, it really gives a good visualization, watching a flame sucked in a port, dozens of times a second, outlining precisely the same path, exactly as you show with the coffee mug, and I spill every other morning. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for making me young again.
You had me at the intro.
""Available nowhere saoon""
Well this has got to be the best first impression of a content creator I've ever seen.
Using a playful bird to keep me seated through an ad I knew I didn't want to listen to is probably the most genius thing I've seen. The whole time I'm stuck watching the bird like I'm in a tractor beam, perfectly aware of the heist you're pulling but not the least bit mad.
"Definitely cooked all the way through"
Hot dogs are already cooked regardless. You can eat them straight out of the package for that very reason.
That said, this was very awesome and I'd like to see it on a slightly larger scale (at least for the heating element) so it can heat the air and make it something like a levitating convection oven.
The fact that you can see such pure happiness when he does goofy stuff like this makes it so much better. I can relate, it's cool stuff.
I think the levitation would be cool to see with schlieren imagery.
Edit: I've never gotten a heart from a youtuber lol, thanks man!
Oh rip. I think editing the post removes the heart.
@@jobobminer8843 welp that makes sense but oh well at least I know it was there lmao
I got you
@@Nighthawkinlight thanks dude you're awesome keep up the great vids :)
Haha, I remember my first TH-camr heart. I was all _"Senpai noticed me!!"_ :-D
You science guys tickle me, so brilliant, so creative and yet so comical! Your joy in science is greatly inspiring! Thank you!!
Such a cute birb.
"Well who would think that one day, I would find myself interested in the aerodynamics of a hot dog.."
Ya gotta love science..
He looks so happy levitating a hot dog. Im happy for him
It is such an inspiration to see someone enjoying what he's doing sooo much! This was a fun and at the same time so wholesome video!
This is the kind of quality content I come to TH-cam for.
The silent chuckle you had when seeing the hotdog flying had me in stitches 😂
The genuine happiness generated from this is palpable in so many ways.
What an impressive series of demonstrations! VERY well presented
I love seeing the child-like joy in your face as it works.
Imagine doing this back in the 17th century, people might have different opinions than us 😂
Don't underestimate the knowledge they had in the 17th century. You would be amazed.
Witch!
Neat way of burning witches!
So happy you watch Bruce, he deserves a lot more attention to his channel
This is definitely the best thing to made in a science fair when COVID 19 is ended.
If your dad has an 80 gallon compressor you could set this up in an afternoon, genius lol
“Now as you can see with the hot dog, the end has a curved surface like a screwdriver.” I need this put into an out-of-context video compilation. Even with context it’s too funny.
Borderline batshit insane
I love it
This is simultaneously the dumbest and most amazing thing I think I've ever seen you build. I love it!
This was one of the greatest educaional science experiments I've seen in years! Well done! And thank you!
I discovered you about a week ago, and just love your videos. You have a magnificent mind!
slap cooking , levitation cooking what a time to be alive
When you have Cody'sLab, The Thought Emporium, SeanHodgins, and Atomic Shrimp praising you, you know you are golden as the top of the top have their eyes on you to see what genius trend you will start next! ...Well, maybe cooking a dog like this won't be a trend, but... Great video, information, and production!
It's not even that he's starting Trends he's doing stuff that nobody else on TH-cam would hope to be able to do
@@mauirandall8176 just wait for him to get action lab'ed. XD
I always love your wit and content. Thank you
You know something's awesome when the top 10 comments are from other channels you're subbed to calling it awesome
I just want someone to look at me the way Ben looks at his creations😆
Then you better start levitating, hotdog boy!
Now these are the questions I need the answer to
absolutely love this im so glad i rediscovered your channel
Your channel is the only one I consistently watch the sponsored segment of. Your bird is so cute!
You should do a magnetic induction hotdog cooker where you put a hotdog on a metal skewer and float the hotdog inside an intense magnetic field.
Initially I thought he had done it with this strong magnetic field and somehow magnetizing the hot dog.
Metal skewers are a good idea
All you need now is the Costco hot dogs and u got yourself a multi million dollar idea
"Scorch marks"
You mean, "grill marks," right? Everyone loves those.
I like the concentration parrot. Helped me focus while listening and kept me watching a sponsored ad, clever work.
Not only your sponsor... you're actually really brilliant, indeed 💪💖
I love your content, but also the way you can be so teaching, so entertaining and... so funny, from time to time 😂 keep doing the good job 👍👍
So brilliant the way you captivate the audience with your parrot during the sponsor read so they don't leave.
...well, it worked on me! X)
This is what people would look at and ask: why?
To answer that.
Ask why not.
Ask what are other possibilities/functionalities.
Legend creation man!
Thank you Ben!
I need to see the Schlieren imagery of this.
yes!!
Smarter Every Day collab when?
Also would be cool to see Schieren for thermoacoustics.
I hope this gets a million views.
Thank you for this useful information as I will use it for later
This is so awesome keep up the good work!! Always love watching your videos.
"The weirdest thing I've featured on this channel"
so we're just ignoring the cheese ball machine gun then?
At first I thought you had jammed a metal rod into the sausage and than heated it with induction
same lol
Ben idk if you’ll see this, but I’ve been watching your videos since I was 12. I’m now 21 ( about to be 22) and your projects never fail to amaze me. I remember the first project I ever made of yours was the paper crossbow! Your most recent project of yours I made was the rocket launcher with the The electric igniter and pvc. I also work at Home Depot now which has also been a dream for me :) I love your videos please keep it up I hope you read this comment
This whole contraption has state fair energy and I love it.
This is magic, pure magic.
Now I want to know more about the Coanda Effect
It's the bernoulli principal not the coanda effect.
You know you've made it when all the top comments are from other well known channels. Very impressive video as always. ❤❤
this is your best video I've seen yet shallom you are loved
Je fantastické vidět, jak vás ty pokusy baví.
In my college physic class we were taught that the ping pong ball levitated due to Bernoulli's principle. This was stated again in my flight training ground school. I am also familiar with the Coanda effect and both of these seems to be saying the same things in slightly different ways. Either way, the idea of cooking a hotdog while it is levitating is shear madness and I love it. Your videos are always very creative and insightful. Great job.
Yes the two principles work in unison. Bernoulli's principle is where the lift comes from (the low pressure over the curved surface is how the equal and opposite force from the redirected air is imparted to the object), but the Coanada effect is what keeps the dog centered in the airstream so it doesn't just fly off.
@@Nighthawkinlight That makes perfect sense. Thanks.
Also probably black microfilament, considering this magic hot dog doesn't spin
i checked and he really does read all the comments, you've earned a subscription good sir.
What a cool siencefair stand this would be. Love your work.
The fact that your bird trusts you make me think I should trust you.
Your friendly neighborhood Romanian here.
So the name "Coandă" from the "Coandă effect" named after Romanian inventor "Henri Coandă" is pronounced as follows:
The "coa" is pronounced like the "Koa" in Koala.
The n and d are pronounced as you'd normally pronounce them.
The "ă" is pronounced like an "uhh", yakno, the sound you make when you've pissed your pants in class and your teacher asks you "did you just piss your pants?"
Therefore, Coandă is pronounced Koa-nd-uhh.
If you're an american and are ever in doubt about the pronunciation of Romanian words, ask a mexican or an italian, they'll be able to help you. (Not an italian-american from NYC, they won't be able to help you, they can't even say Mozzarella properly).
This has been part 1 of my 3 part plan of starting a Romanian mega-empire and overtaking the world.
Come back next week to see me use latin prayers to resurrect all of our fallen soldiers, creating a massive army of the dead.
i think you may have said too much about what happens in your class...
This project is a respectable endeavor.👍
Yu have done a magnificent Job. In clearly describing. Each actions, causes, and Effect. A bonus is a humorous animated character. Entertaining and teaching exciting Science. 👍
Well and truly Revolutionary!
I can't watch this video on an empty stomach!
It's a sorta double quandary: (1) hotdog cooks only one end at a time and (2) when you flip it; it cools the cooked end so you don't get a "hot" dog. Enjoyed your science lesson; keep em coming!
This is beautiful mad science. I got such a smile on my face watching this!
