Not funny I didn't laugh. Your joke is so bad I would have preferred the joke went over my head and you gave up re-telling me the joke. To be honest this is a horrid attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not a chuckle, not a hehe, not even a subtle burst of air out of my esophagus. Science says before you laugh your brain preps your face muscles but I didn't even feel the slightest twitch. 0/10 this joke is so bad I cannot believe anyone legally allowed you to be creative at all. The amount of brainpower you must have put into that joke has the potential to power every house on Earth. Get a personality and learn how to make jokes, read a book. I'm not saying this to be funny I genuinely mean it on how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment at comedy. You've single-handedly killed humor and every comedic act on the planet. I'm so disappointed that society has failed as a whole in being able to teach you how to be funny. Honestly, if I put in all my power and time to try and make your joke funny it would require Einstein himself to build a device to strap me into so I can be connected to the energy of a billion stars to do it, and even then all that joke would get from people is a subtle scuff. You're lucky I still have the slightest of empathy for you after telling that joke otherwise I would have committed every war crime in the book just to prevent you from attempting any humor ever again. We should put that joke in textbooks so future generations can be wary of becoming such an absolute comedic failure. I'm disappointed, hurt, and outright offended that my precious time has been wasted in my brain understanding that joke. In the time that took I was planning on helping kids who have been orphaned, but because of that, you've wasted my time explaining the obscene integrity of your terrible attempt at comedy. Now those kids are suffering without meals and there's nobody to blame but you. I hope you're happy with what you have done and I truly hope you can move on and learn from this piss poor attempt /s. not to be taken seriously :)
Before watching this, we learned this waay back in middle school level physics. You simply cant even as the textbook put it superman wouldnt even be able to drink from it

You might actually be able to draw liquid up the entire length of the straw if after drawing a foot or so of liquid you remove the bottom end of the straw from the container. Then you should be able to get that slug of water to climb all the way up to your mouth. This allows atmospheric pressure to assist in pushing up the water, as you now only have to create a difference in pressure equal to the weight of the water slug. This trick will only work if the straw's diameter is small enough to allow capillary action to keep the liquid intact.
Outstanding video James. I really appreciate fundamentals of science: based on empirical data and allowing peer review of your work. So, you were not convinced by Derek's conclusion, but the science community allows for that so you tested it yourself and I think you validated Veritasium's conclusion. Really well done and very well narrated.
Most of these experiments are quite simple and basic, but every time they're damnly fun and interesting to watch! Very basic physics you study at school, but finally shown in real life. The best part is your enthusiasm tho! I've been following the channel for a few years at this point and it's still growing which is fantastic!
1:03 the theoretical limit is not based on the vapour pressure of water. It is based on the fact that the air pressure is finite, and so the height of the water is also finite, as the force of the increasing height of water from gravity will eventually equal the force that air pressure exerts. We know that the force exerted by the air pressure is about 101kPa, and that the formula to calculate the force exerted is, P*A (where is the area that pressure is exerting on). The force from gravity is given by the Volume*density. The volume is A*h. P*A = A*h*density*gravity. (Density*gravity gives us the NEwtons density, i.e. N/kg) A on both sides cancel out, and we solve for h to get: h= P/NewtDensity. Density of water is 1000kg/m3, standard air pressure is 100,000N/m^2 (checking units we get (N/m^2)*(m^3/N) which leaves us with m) So 101000/9810 = 10.3m. (33.887ft) The theoretical maximum is due to the air pressure and the density of the fluid. If you were sucking up Mercury with a density of 13690kg/m^3 (13.7 tonnes), the height would be only 75cm. f you were on Mt Everest where the air pressure is only 33.7kPa, and sucking up water the height becomes 3.43m.
They actually don’t suck up through a vacuum, but because of a very low water potential outside of the leaves that causes transpiration through the xylem through cohesion of the water molecules inside it
the trees use capillarity which is the same reason why soil is usually wet even when the aquifers or water table are a few meters below; capillarity occurs due to the surface tension of water, this as a result of the water molecules having a stronger bond between them that with the other fluid, in this case, air. So when you introduce a capilar or small pore in the water, the surface tension forms a meniscus that results in a positive force component that conducts the water up high, this is why the level of the liquid in a straw in your drinks is never the same as the rest of the cup but a little bit higher, the smaller the pores the higher the water gets, in sands this might be a few inches or a couple of feet because sand is coarse and so the pores area larger, in silts or clays water can climb up to 10 meters, the same principle applies to trees.
I wish you had explained a little more about what the theoretical limit is based on, namely that the water is being pushed UP the tube by atmospheric pressure, so this is also dependent on elevation, weather, etc, changing the atmospheric pressure.
you could actually get it higher in colder weather as that would reduce the pressure at which the water boils, tell me if that is correct. thx, great video, very simple to follow
What an awkward run in with a stranger that would be: “Oh yeah I’m just sucking red water up this tube in a parking garage for a video, don’t mind me” 😃
7:20 wait, so does that mean you could theoretically make a hot liquids safety straw based just on the length that only lets you suck up liquids that are at safe to drink temperatures?
@@eduardogarciajr6562 I disagree, because the boiling point was just an example. I think the point James was trying to make is that the hotter the water is, the lower the boiling pressure is, so in RadicalxEdward's theory, if the liquid is too hot, and the straw is long enough, the liquid would boil before it reaches the top of the straw.
That doesn't sound very practical in most cases, but that does inspire some thought (from me) of controlling the outside pressure of a liquid in order to regulate its temperature.
What I like about this video that Veritasium didn't do, is that you actually videoed the liquid moving up. It's one thing to say "oh we just couldn't get it high enough," take a shot of the end of the liquid without seeing the full length, and then call it a day, but it's a lot easier to grasp and fully understand where it starts falling apart. It practically has a hard cut-off on suction, which is really interesting. I never thought of the liquid as pulling itself down due to gravity, but I guess that makes a lot of sense when you consider the fact that they at least try to stay together. It's not a bunch of bubbles resting on top of each other like tapioca balls, they're more like gelatin, they'll typically stick together unless forced to separate.

Not funny I didn't laugh. Your joke is so bad I would have preferred the joke went over my head and you gave up re-telling me the joke. To be honest this is a horrid attempt at trying to get a laugh out of me. Not a chuckle, not a hehe, not even a subtle burst of air out of my esophagus. Science says before you laugh your brain preps your face muscles but I didn't even feel the slightest twitch. 0/10 this joke is so bad I cannot believe anyone legally allowed you to be creative at all. The amount of brainpower you must have put into that joke has the potential to power every house on Earth. Get a personality and learn how to make jokes, read a book. I'm not saying this to be funny I genuinely mean it on how this is just bottom barrel embarrassment at comedy. You've single-handedly killed humor and every comedic act on the planet. I'm so disappointed that society has failed as a whole in being able to teach you how to be funny. Honestly, if I put in all my power and time to try and make your joke funny it would require Einstein himself to build a device to strap me into so I can be connected to the energy of a billion stars to do it, and even then all that joke would get from people is a subtle scuff. You're lucky I still have the slightest of empathy for you after telling that joke otherwise I would have committed every war crime in the book just to prevent you from attempting any humor ever again. We should put that joke in textbooks so future generations can be wary of becoming such an absolute comedic failure. I'm disappointed, hurt, and outright offended that my precious time has been wasted in my brain understanding that joke. In the time that took I was planning on helping kids who have been orphaned, but because of that, you've wasted my time explaining the obscene integrity of your terrible attempt at comedy. Now those kids are suffering without meals and there's nobody to blame but you. I hope you're happy with what you have done and I truly hope you can move on and learn from this piss poor attempt

Before watching this, we learned this waay back in middle school level physics. You simply cant even as the textbook put it superman wouldnt even be able to drink from it
But superman can break physics. I'm sure he could do it if his tiny mouth can blow trucks out of the way and carry buildings without it falling apart. Yay superman go go go

@@alexhamiIton or if he uses his ice breath
What’s pushing the water at the very top is likely the vapor moving the liquid up since it’s easier to pump (given you’re using the appropriate type)
I wonder how many times you had to climb up and down the stairs. Hats off!

We gotta give some credit too that tjis guy did this alone, look how many floors he needed to travel
You might actually be able to draw liquid up the entire length of the straw if after drawing a foot or so of liquid you remove the bottom end of the straw from the container. Then you should be able to get that slug of water to climb all the way up to your mouth. This allows atmospheric pressure to assist in pushing up the water, as you now only have to create a difference in pressure equal to the weight of the water slug. This trick will only work if the straw's diameter is small enough to allow capillary action to keep the liquid intact.
can we just aprriciate the amount of times he climed up and down the stairs. Bro im literally inlove with your videos

Outstanding video James. I really appreciate fundamentals of science: based on empirical data and allowing peer review of your work. So, you were not convinced by Derek's conclusion, but the science community allows for that so you tested it yourself and I think you validated Veritasium's conclusion. Really well done and very well narrated.
"your mouth can act as a pretty good vacuum pump" you know it
Most of these experiments are quite simple and basic, but every time they're damnly fun and interesting to watch! Very basic physics you study at school, but finally shown in real life. The best part is your enthusiasm tho! I've been following the channel for a few years at this point and it's still growing which is fantastic!
There is way too many “that’s what she said” jokes in this video 😂
Yeah my bro just came in the room looked at me weird and walked out while I was watching this 😅XD

7:00 "you can't suck boiling water"
Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay: and I took that personaly

Great visualization of just how dense the atmosphere is that we live in.
1:03 the theoretical limit is not based on the vapour pressure of water.
It is based on the fact that the air pressure is finite, and so the height of the water is also finite, as the force of the increasing height of water from gravity will eventually equal the force that air pressure exerts.
We know that the force exerted by the air pressure is about 101kPa, and that the formula to calculate the force exerted is, P*A (where is the area that pressure is exerting on).
The force from gravity is given by the Volume*density. The volume is A*h. P*A = A*h*density*gravity. (Density*gravity gives us the NEwtons density, i.e. N/kg)
A on both sides cancel out, and we solve for h to get: h= P/NewtDensity. Density of water is 1000kg/m3, standard air pressure is 100,000N/m^2 (checking units we get (N/m^2)*(m^3/N) which leaves us with m)
So 101000/9810 = 10.3m. (33.887ft)
The theoretical maximum is due to the air pressure and the density of the fluid.
If you were sucking up Mercury with a density of 13690kg/m^3 (13.7 tonnes), the height would be only 75cm.
f you were on Mt Everest where the air pressure is only 33.7kPa, and sucking up water the height becomes 3.43m.
I've always wanted you and veritasium to collab
4:20 this video helped me realize how trees could “suck up” water past 34ft
nice time stamp
They actually don’t suck up through a vacuum, but because of a very low water potential outside of the leaves that causes transpiration through the xylem through cohesion of the water molecules inside it
the trees use capillarity which is the same reason why soil is usually wet even when the aquifers or water table are a few meters below; capillarity occurs due to the surface tension of water, this as a result of the water molecules having a stronger bond between them that with the other fluid, in this case, air.
So when you introduce a capilar or small pore in the water, the surface tension forms a meniscus that results in a positive force component that conducts the water up high, this is why the level of the liquid in a straw in your drinks is never the same as the rest of the cup but a little bit higher, the smaller the pores the higher the water gets, in sands this might be a few inches or a couple of feet because sand is coarse and so the pores area larger, in silts or clays water can climb up to 10 meters, the same principle applies to trees.
You really made the definition of "Suck it up!" meaningful!
I wish you had explained a little more about what the theoretical limit is based on, namely that the water is being pushed UP the tube by atmospheric pressure, so this is also dependent on elevation, weather, etc, changing the atmospheric pressure.
I mean, I gotta imagine it's really hard to suck the water up, I would do the opposite, have the water bottle up and me down
@ㅤㅤㅤㅤ shower AND a drink
Siphon haha
@Deborah Ajao it might, you just have to suck the water a bit up and gravity will take care of the rest
The only problem is you can't stop
@Deborah Ajao his hebrew name is making your comment right indented
Un tinaco
you could actually get it higher in colder weather as that would reduce the pressure at which the water boils, tell me if that is correct. thx, great video, very simple to follow
Nice theory btw 🤓🧐
🤔👍🙂
2:40 lmao "my mouth muscles are really sore... i can't get it up, i can't get it up."
lmao, cmon, man!
"So what size do you want your straw to be?"
The Action Lab: YES
Boiling of liquid happens when vapour pressure = outside pressure
yes that is the precise definition of boiling point
Listen to this video without watching the screen it takes on a whole new meaning
What an awkward run in with a stranger that would be:
“Oh yeah I’m just sucking red water up this tube in a parking garage for a video, don’t mind me” 😃
This guy is so good at explaining stuff. No fancy words or anything.
The fact he did this by himself is just amazing in and of itself
7:20 wait, so does that mean you could theoretically make a hot liquids safety straw based just on the length that only lets you suck up liquids that are at safe to drink temperatures?
No, it only theoretically happens at boiling point.
@@eduardogarciajr6562 I disagree, because the boiling point was just an example. I think the point James was trying to make is that the hotter the water is, the lower the boiling pressure is, so in RadicalxEdward's theory, if the liquid is too hot, and the straw is long enough, the liquid would boil before it reaches the top of the straw.
That doesn't sound very practical in most cases, but that does inspire some thought (from me) of controlling the outside pressure of a liquid in order to regulate its temperature.
You'd have to suck hella hard on a straw like that for it to be effective for that purpose and it'd be horrible.
Actually really interesting lesson in hydrodynamics
@1:45 Mr. Science Guy in the parking garage: "Okay. Let's drop our tubing down."
Aww, but he forgot to first say, "3, 2, 1."
Virtually every moment of this video is a "that's what she said" moment.
5:45 PAUSE. You didn't even say no homo.
Veritasium did something similar to this.
Typed this before watching 🤣😂🤣😂 At least my memory served correct 😂
What I like about this video that Veritasium didn't do, is that you actually videoed the liquid moving up. It's one thing to say "oh we just couldn't get it high enough," take a shot of the end of the liquid without seeing the full length, and then call it a day, but it's a lot easier to grasp and fully understand where it starts falling apart. It practically has a hard cut-off on suction, which is really interesting.
I never thought of the liquid as pulling itself down due to gravity, but I guess that makes a lot of sense when you consider the fact that they at least try to stay together. It's not a bunch of bubbles resting on top of each other like tapioca balls, they're more like gelatin, they'll typically stick together unless forced to separate.
Just imagine the number of times he went up and down for this video 😳
Thanks for the video man, respect your efforts.
