Aaaaaathats a mode

In England we call that Orange.
Isn't that what it's called everywhere, not just England?

Are you sure it isn't Ourange?

yeah
the liquid would be colored deep blue

"The water wants to pull itself together while the alcohol wants to spread out." That's exactly how alcohol effects most people too, your sober voice is telling you "pull it together man", while your drunk voice is yelling "clothes are for sheep, run naked through the streets!"

"reddish yellow" is yellow that tends toward orange. Kinda like a not fully ripe meyer lemon (see wikipedia, top-right pic)
@@-danR yes, it is not a gradient. I wasn't specific enough. Rather, it is an undefined colour in the range of that gradient. It can also be a defined colour as you are pointing out. This is because there are many color systems with each very different definitions of colour.

underrated owo
hey kid, can u help me solve this maze?
the kid: *takes out a 3d printer*
plot twist: the chemical has the a* algorithm implemented
Claudiu Mironescu the chemical is a paid actor
For those who don't get the joke, Google Maps used the A* algorithm to find the shortest routes
I love that I get the joke.
I watched an oddly high number of pathfinding videos so I got this one
Technically, it's just a brute force algorithm. But it uses multithreading, and each small group of molecules is its own processor, which is why it performs so well. The universe is effectively serving as a really efficient physics simulator.
To actually implement A*, the chemical would have to have some way to tell how physically distant it is from the finish. This could somehow be possible by emitting radiation from a point source at the end of the maze, so it would naturally follow the inverse square law in intensity. If this radiation could excite the chemical into spreading faster if it is closer, then an A*-like algorithm could technically be possible.
The dye moves because acids and alcohols reacts each other.
Here, the alcohol moves from not only from starting point , but also from everywhere, this movement of the alcohol you used will pull the dye along with and drags towards the acid.
And so for that,the dye will move with the alcohol and reaches the acid concentrated area in shorter distance.
People in 1920: we will have flying cars in the future!
2020: *liquid that can solve a maze*
Action lab in 2020: this liquid can solve mazes instantly by itself!
Action lab in 2040: This liquid can Play Chess and win Instantly!
Anyone else thought why the blue dye was red as a powder?
Lots of dyes change color when wet or in different concentrations. Fluorescein for instance is a dark red powder when pure, but it turns a vivid green/yellow when mixed in water, and also glows brightly under UV (it's primarily an ultraviolet dye for leak detection and that sort of thing). Chemistry doesn't always follow logic lol.
The same reason it turned back to orange when it reached the acid: the powder is an indicator!
Like how anhydrous copper(II) sulphate is white but when it is wet it becomes blue
@@Antonio-wh8lh I want copper(II) sulphate (hydrated, mind you)...I was growing crystals in a jar and table salt isn't that interesting.

2:18 I thought my TH-cam broke down
6:36, For the city model, maybe traffic flow rate also be built into the model to calculate quickest “time” between two points. The traffic flow rate would be inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of each pathway? A two lane road with a lot of stop lights would be a wide path, and a divided highway would be a capillary tube.
him: now lets put in my blue dye here.
The powder:orange
The actual dye: Purple.
why dont we use electric current with some chemical to find shot path
CiSien x good idea, but how?
@@Robonova make the channels conductive and then apply high current and measure the temperature difference on the path
Why would you need a chemical, electricity already tells you the least resistant path.

@@matteozappia5113 yes, it is
@@billysbikes8671 You can't use this for the TSP, because it would skip waypoints. The fluid always seeks the destination and with multiple destinations the fluid would just get sucked everywhere. Another problem would be crossings. What the video is showing only works, because there's only a single destination. The TSP has multiple destinations, with the first and last being predetermined.

So, really, the maze is solved slowly through the establishment of the gradient. Then the dye is added to quickly visualize the solution.
Here is a vaguely similar problem. A professor of Chemistry gives his students the problem:
Find the eutectic composition (lowest melting/freezing point) of a mixture of water, glycerol, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol to three decimal points.
"Golly, "says one student. "We would need to try thousands of mixtures."
"Don't be silly," says another. "You do it in stages. Find eutectic of two ingredients (binary eutectic). Then mix that with a third ingredient and test for freezing point. Keep adjusting the third ingredient until you find the lowest freezing point mixture (tertiary eutectic), then add the fourth component and do likewise. It should not take more than a few weeks, a few hundred trial, to find the answer."
"Wrong," says a third student. "It can be done in a single afternoon with only ONE mixture." The third student got an "A" in the course. How?
Man your wolf is scaring me 😂🤣

why does he always have to spill the dye. why. why. i dont know why this makes me so mad but this is not ok
me too
Him: *Pours dye and it gets on the edge of the maze*
My OCD: O_O REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
cool, but not so useful, because the complexity of the shortest path is just E + V log V, where E is the number of roads and V is the number of crossings. So for a ordinary computer it becomes hard to solve when there are more than a billion of crossings
Him:It turns into a red-yellow color

I was thinking that it was due to pressure when I saw the thumbnail and title.
Force a constant flow of fluid through a maze using hydrostatic pressure. Once equilibrium is reached, inject a constant flow of your dye. The dye should immediately flow through to the exit, with the concentration of the dye inversely proportional to the path length relative to other exit paths (assuming constant width paths).
