Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ElectroBOOM says : Wow! Awesome shots! It is interesting that you can elongate the arc duration. I wonder if that would slow down the propagation of discharges in a Marx generator, or slowing it down would actually make the generator not to work at all. For us, all discharge gaps pretty much went off at the same time. Which means the action is extremely fast in nano second range. So despite how much I loved to capture the sequence, we are not fast enough! Maybe we can observe it on scope though...>> <<@spacepirateivynova says : That camera is FAR from what is 'top of the line' in terms of lab-capturing data. Laser beams have been captured using a system of delays and a single light sensor with sweeping optiocs with the beam being pulsed at exact times, the data is taken at a 1ghz or better through an oscilloscope and reassembled to push the gigaframe mark. This is NOT directly registering with a single plane of photoreceptors, but a single photoreceptor running extremely fast, so it works far better with collimated light from a laser beam than electrical arcs that will obviously change from pulse to pulse... but there are several videos out there of home-brew setups to do this for relatively little money. Just a bit of interesting note when i heard the first part of the video, so you might actually go into that later (i'll find out soon!)>> <<@NicosLeben says : 15:40 Could this also be because the thread has increased capacity due to its larger surface area and is, so to speak, charged before the main spark jumps?>> <<@BoogieDaCat says : Yeah too bad Electroboom is a total Linus-shill. He apparently doesn't vet the channels he collabs with or else he wanted more exposure at any cost. He's constantly verbally fellating Linus and so is his audience.>> <<@franztruetzschler says : Amazing.>> <<@jonathonalsum says : This was the best as a Sunday morning show for me, like the science shows of old, beakmans world or bill nye. Maybe there is a pitch to PBS America in here somewhere? 🎉 Thanks again!>> <<@MortyKaiShalom says : 10:00 I gotta say the thing I wasn't expecting was for the water droplet to survive... Which I guess means the electricity is passing around and not through the water?>> <<@CarlDidur says : 20:21, I am sure others have thought about it and commented. If the rod shaped extrusion carries the charge, as soon as it breaks free it polarizes and the most charged mass (50% ?) leaves. The bit that returns is neutral but returning through kinetic energy? As it approaches the mass of the droplet again it polarizes and about 50% of its mass seems to get reabsorbed and the remaining opposite charged bit is finally ejected? Are the ejected bits negatively charged? The underlying physics might be gracefully simple to a more agile mind than mine. Something beautiful.>> <<@mikothumb says : wootah~>> <<@Kingstallington says : Couldn't you just use 20 high speed camera all out of phase?>> <<@something.1 says : Hi thunderf00t, you mention about Taylor cones and it's essential for life. I would love to watch your vid exploring and explaining more of that. Thanks. Nick>> <<@faustinus23 says : What happens when the droplet is connected to a voltage source, so the cone never runs out of charge?>> <<@waveland says : What I would love to see is the soap bubble threading on a dark background with an oblique light source so that you might be able to make out more of the pattern.>> <<@nerdycus6935 says : Alternative title: 24 minutes of slow-mo that looks like album covers>> <<@Corey_Lee_Slater says : Moments before you thank your Patrons, I was thinking -'Where does he get all these toys' Jack Nicholson as the Joker, one of those movies... Thanks for sharing.>> <<@retematic1488 says : bubbleliquid chemtrails to seed thunderstorms when>> <<@MrSofazocker says : Wait so, all of humanity is inherinetly inrational, by building shelter from the enviroment for example. The rational man would go back to being monkey and adapt himself. Be a rock.>> <<@DontWatchAdsJustRefresh says : 20:53 to me it seems that when the charged drop falls back into mama drop it refines into a smaller drop with more bundled up charge and thus flings out after. Very cool stuff keep it up>> <<@mikefochtman7164 says : Those tiny bits of bubble liquid, flying off the 'cones' are fascinating. Part of me was screaming, "Oh PLEASE... put some sort of scale in the frame so we can get an idea how fast they're moving." Of course the frame is quite small, but still, they move out of frame so fast! Great science content. Thank you.>> <<@artificercreator says : Amazing! This world could use more of those genius collabs.>> <<@noneofyourbusiness6269 says : your closing shots are great as always phil>> <<@braindecay9477 says : Isn't this just an example of a slower discharge because of...slower discharge? Like discharging a Capacitor with higher resistance, the soap-water providing a higher resistance path, but earlier compared to complete breakdown and ionization of air, thus providing a path for slower (but still violent) discharge? I'm somewhat drunk and haven't seen every piece of the video, I'm honestly wondering Even if I'm understanding that correctly, the effects of both water and soap water under these strong electric fields are dope. Have to revisit that when I'm sober again>> <<@retromodernart4426 says : @Thunderf00t You already partially answered your own question in a previous video - "water is a dipole", etc.>> <<@crizman7032 says : wait a minute... bubbles, becoming threads?.. IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE?!?!>> <<@fazergazer says : When the tip of the cone has critical curvature the charge is dissipated. Makes since because the field gradient leads to breakdown of the dielectric in air. How is the charge shed…that is the fun part.>> <<@fazergazer says : Science may eventually fully understand a Thunderstorm. But it will never fully understand a ThunderF00t😂🎉>> <<@taiya001 says : Cool I didn’t know water could do that.>> <<@renasouza8261 says : what if you use 20 cameras? wouldnt that be 20x faster?>> <<@devin5857 says : does anyone know how thin it get>> <<@SheCleansAlot says : Give us more of this kind of content, please.>> <<@marceljones7940 says : i don't get it. what did any of that have to do with the slo mo guys?>> <<@johnbode2756 says : What I perceived as a simple spark turns out to be a complex chain of events. Thanks for the great work.>> <<@-Graham says : This is fascinating! Seeing those tiny droplets separate and accelerate at incredible speeds! I wonder if lightning is concentrated to areas of higher salinity, the different surface tension of water vapour would change the conditions for lightning if so.>> <<@chuckyra3240 says : woooow! this is an amazing video!!>> <<@lito11111940 says : Add Food coloring to the water .........................................................>> <<@midnightwolf48 says : Very interesting. I have to wonder what something like mercury would do in the same experiment.>> <<@matt_r.2510 says : What a fascinating video. All my life I have marveled and wondered about lightning. After seeing this, I'm still fascinated.>> <<@jesmarina says : Super interesting stuff!>> <<@JackFeelsNerves says : Isn’t “phenomena” the plural form of the word phenomenon? I swear you say “a phenomena” several times in this video… bit disappointing from an academic.🤨>> <<@SoraTrace says : Just take 20 Cameras and activate them at different times. Then you throw all of the footage together and voila. I don't see the problem>> <<@KarbineKyle says : I love your videos! I also love your curiosity and passion! I absolutely love science! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication, and for making these videos, Thunderf00t! Outstanding job!>> <<@_nom_ says : Easy content for you. Lazy>> <<@Neptunium says : I am sure it's been brought up before, but this is the basic principle for ESI injection for mass spectrometers...>> <<@juliankohler5086 says : I predict this video will be referenced in a few papers in the future. I hope someone really bright and interested in deciphering thunderstorms watches this video.>> <<@CompComp says : Lightening rod + bucket of bubble liquid = giant Taylor cone?>> <<@gameexe6337 says : wait so what are you even busting here, your videos are so long winded and take forever to get to the point that im genuinely lost here - Edit: i get it, its just a very dumb titling of the video making it look like one of your busted videos when in reality its the opposite.>> <<@anatolesokol says : 19:30 - Printering head works that way. HPs patented super secret... They use laser to discharge charged paper, that the inks fire only there charge left in very small droplets, kind of nanotechnology>> <<@JoeSmith-cy9wj says : Go for the capacitor bank and ball lightning.>> <<@grimklang says : i feel educated, i don't like this.>> <<@eckyx9019 says : Electroboom is crazy.>>
