    When the bottle stops spinning, the viscosity and the distribution of metal flakes (and thus the density) are not uniform throughout, so there are going to be 'discs' with more metal flake concentration that want to maintain rotational momentum more than the neighboring more viscous 'disc'. Once that gradient exists, metal flakes gravitate towards the discs with higher momentum and lower viscosity, so they clump together into the visual effect we see..

      I was 100% in agreement with you until I saw the horizontal test in the bowl. If the metal flakes form a region of higher rotational momentum, seems like that should mean we’d see metal force its way to the outer edge of the bowl when it stops spinning. That doesn’t seem to be happening, though. If anything it seems to collect at the center.
      Perhaps the glitter forms a region of LOWER density? That could potentially produce both the banding (if your basic explanation is correct) and the collection of glitter at the center.

    • @my_unreasonably_long_username
      @my_unreasonably_long_username 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is the same principle as a hydrocyclone or centrifuge operating in a gravitational field. The metal particle size distribution changes the point in the fluid they sit at when they are spun. They have different masses. They all have a downward acceleration due to gravity, but when you spin it sideways the particles are pushed outward and if you spin it fast enough you can overcome gravitation. As it spins down the particles arrange themselves into bands as similar sized particles fall at the same speed.

      it's not just allowed, it's basically impossible to get rid of. You don't have to worry either way, there is no good evidence that shows a causal relationship between aluminium exposure and alzheimer's. That doesn't mean it doesn't have health risks if you ingest too much, but if that specifically is your concern, avoid heavy metals like lead and manganese. Again, you can't avoid them entirely, but the body can deal with low doses of metal ions just fine, thanks in big part to a glycoprotein called Transferrin, which brings them to your kidneys to be expelled

    the reason you get bands in the glittery drink is probably the same reason you get banding in rings around planets. it has something to do with conservation of angular momentum combined with chaotic collisions of particles. any cloud of particles that is rotating will eventually result in a flat disc of bands due to the collisions of particles against each other

    The red fluid in the bowl reminded me of a museum exhibit about Jupiter’s clouds. They used a similarly glittery fluid to represent the gas. You could spin the sphere full of fluid, and I assume it would make bands like in Jupiter’s atmosphere. I was too young to remember it, though. I have also seen other exhibits using glittery fluids, but I thought this would be the most relevant.

    E171 Titanium dioxide is a very common die, used in foods and paints. It's white and opaque. If you buy a can of white paint in the hardware store, the white color in the paint is TiO2. It's very common in foods too, mostly because it's opaque. It's used to mix with other dies to create almost any opaque color. The ban does come as a bit of a surprise, because it's so common in foods, and it has been for years and years. I work in the food supplement industry (vitamin pills), and using food dies in a product that is intended for your health has always been controversial. But most companies that sell food supplements prefer their pills to look 'neat' and have their pills coated with a coating containing TiO2. The pills are painted white, or another color while still containing TiO2. The coating does also serve to improve shelf life and make swallowing pills easier, but that can be done without TiO2. It really is there only for the looks. I guess pills are no longer going to be coated white.

    I went to show my kid some of your videos on magnets but was using the YT kids app. When I searched for your channel and videos nothing came up. I even tried using direct URLs in the search and that didn’t work either. So I tried other channels that are dedicated to science and the vast majority of them wouldn’t come up or only small clips posted by other people came up. So it seems that YT considers a lot of scientific content not suitable for children, which I can understand some scientific topics wouldn’t be but what I was searching for is a bit much in my opinion.

I try to nurture any interest (especially when it comes to engineering, science and technology) he has as long as it is not dangerous or obscene for his age.

    the bottle "banding" effect is due to a property called "rheoscopy," which means "flow-showing" or "current-showing," the glitter particles align themselves with the direction of flow and therefore reflect light roughly tangent to the direction of flow. On most cheaper glass bottles that i've tested (ones with registration marks and mold flashing and whatnot,) if you spin and then stop a rheoscopic fluid, you'll eventually see turbulence start to creep into the flow due to imperfections in the interior surface of the bottle. These bottles appear to be either hand-blown or made using molds without registration marks, so the interior surface is (more or less) perfectly smooth in the vertical direction, allowing laminar flow in the horizontal direction when you spin it. As far as I can tell, there are slight horizontal undulations in the interior surface of the bottles that affect the flow as it slows down, which is why each bottle has its own unique pattern of rings that's more-or-less the same every time.

    My assumption on why you see banding is that the extra friction from the contact at the top and bottom of the bottle slows down the flow of the liquid allowing the liquid in the center to flow more freely and spin around faster than the liquid at the top and bottom. That's why the bands start at the top and bottom and then only appear towards the center. But hey, I'm just an ordinary plebian, so I'm probably wrong.

  • @shadowcard6923

    As for the rotating bottles, I think its probably the momentum of the fluid because of the rotation, the bottle stopped but the fluid inside is a separate mass (and obviously) is liquid so it won't stop as fast as the solid container.
    Kinda like why if you spin around yourself and then stop you'll feel dizzy, the fluid in your balance organ in the ears continue to spin, causing mixed signals that confuse the brain.

    • @Speeder84XL
      @Speeder84XL 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That don't fully explain the swirling glitter effect though - but is indeed a part of the explanation. When the container stops, the liquid next to the glas surface stopps before the liquid further in (due to the friction/adhesion), which causes small wirlpools to form inside the liquid - which in turn collects the glitter in some spots where pressure is lower and also makes the particles rotate, creating the effect. In the bowl, the liquid next to the large bottom also slows down faster than the liquid above, causing a different effect.
      It's very obvious at 3:50 when i pours more liquid in into the bowl, that wirlpools and high/low pressure zones is creating the effect - because the glitter effect exactly follows the expected current pattern around the stream of liquid coming down.

Copper makes gorgeous electric blues with lithium, strontium, barium flux, turquoise with other alkalis, non-foodsafe emerald green with lead, and in a reduction fire (with a dash of tin oxide) you get a deep oxblood red.

Aka reflexively ban something just because a bunch of delusional, anti-science hippie-dippy lunatics threw a big enough fit about it... Only for later science to NEVER be able to prove the supposed health reasons for the banning in the first place. They do this absurd nanny state bullshit all the freaking time... No wonder Britain decided they'd had enough of this ridiculous nonsense.

      ​@@Cooe. Yeah I feel like I'd be much more supportive of the EU if it stopped attempting to be a unified nation under one rule and was actually more of a treaty, military union, economic union only as far as abolition of import/export taxes and tariffs go and free travel agreement.
      It's attempting to become the US real badly when if anything, that's the US' biggest shortcoming, the federal government. America's strength and beauty is in its states not its huge corrupt unified government in DC.
      But then of course, none of this was ever about our wellbeing.

      @@TheFloatingSheep Well, I think I'm actually with the decision to ban it. It is a suspected (not proven) carcinogen in case of breathing in particles. And I work with that stuff in powder form every day, and breath it in too. Maybe it's all an overreaction and the stuff is harmless. But as long as that isn't proven I'm glad to not be exposed to it every day.

    Just a theory, but the effect caused by spinning the glitter wine could be because it is amplifying imperfections in the bottle or container. If you look very closely at a bottle, you can see ripples along the circumference on the inside from blowing the bottle during manufacturing.. The glitter is likely being slung into the "lows" of these ripples through centrifugal forces, and forming more reflective spots. Likely the same thing is happening with the bowl, but instead amplifying the bottom/sides imperfections combined. It would be very interesting to see if this theory is true!

      The report said that their toxicologists cant *rule out* genotoxcity, meaning maybe it causes it, maybe only in certain doses, who knows? They're taking a "just in case" aka california approach to the concern which is a matter of politics at that point.

      I have yet to see pure aluminum used as a food colorant, but would love to buy a sample for my 'museum' :) I believe it is banned in other countries like Brazil. I was surprised by the titanium dioxide too. It has always been considered safe for use in anything. Apparently the issue is the ingestion of nano-sized particles of it. We still have a lot to learn about our bodies reaction to nano-technology. Thanks for watching!

    I totally knew you are Danish, because of the accent. I always wondered what exactly happens in the body when eating all that gold. I asked the chef at "Restaurant Ti Trin Ned" when I worked as disheasher in 2007/08, and he said that it was all safe. But there might be long term side effects when eating gold every day. And then again, who does that? 😁

    It's called laminar flow.
    I'll add it probably also has to do with clear liquids and mixing insoluble additives and those being trapped in laminar flow of the fluid it's suspended in. Smarter Every Day did an amazing video on this.

    The reason for the bands when spinning is because when you have centrifugal force applied to elements with different weights the sudden stop will reveal that I have no idea what I am talking about nor do I know why it does that either.

  • @kiwi3954

    The tangent about the glitter drinks is really interesting! A science center near me used to have a big sphere filled with liquid like this, with instructions to get it spinning and stop it suddenly. The fluid would start with uniform rotational velocity, but when stopped, the fluid would be moving across the plastic shell of the sphere much more quickly at the equator than the poles, so it would start slowing down at different rates. Horizontal bands would form of fluid moving at different speeds, with swirling vortices in between. It was really cool! I think the sign beside it mentioned the coriolis effect and related it to the formation of hurricanes on Earth and the bands on Jupiter.
