have you ever wondered what happens when you heat up water inside a drum, turn it all to steam, and then cool it down? well, the slow mo guys, gav and dan, decided to find out in their latest pressure-related experiment inspired by veritasium's imploding drum video. let's dive into the details of this fascinating experiment and see how it all went down in slow motion.
the setup
gav and dan started by creating a barbecue setup to heat up the water inside the drum. they filled the drum with water and placed it on the barbecue to heat it up. once the water started to boil and turn into steam, they moved the drum to a cold water bath and a hose to cool it down. the goal was to film the implosion at 2,500 frames per second using a phantom flex camera to capture the graceful and crinkly implosion effect.
the experiment
as the water heated up and turned into steam, the drum began to fill with pressure. gav and dan were confident that the experiment would work, but they were also aware of their lack of experience in this area. they were surprised when the drum partially imploded, with the water still sitting on top. however, they were determined to try again and improve their technique.
the results
in the end, the experiment was a success, and the slow mo guys captured the implosion in slow motion. the water was whipped out from under the drum, and the implosion effect was both graceful and crinkly. gav and dan were impressed with the results and agreed that it was a very consistent experiment. they also mentioned that they might revisit the experiment in the future to try and be better scientists and improve their technique.
the science behind the experiment
the imploding drum experiment is a classic demonstration of the power of pressure. when the water inside the drum is heated and turned into steam, the pressure inside the drum increases. when the drum is cooled down, the pressure inside decreases, causing the drum to implode. this experiment is a great way to demonstrate the principles of pressure and how it affects the behavior of objects.
conclusion
the slow mo guys' imploding drum experiment is a fascinating demonstration of the power of pressure. by filming the experiment in slow motion, they were able to capture the graceful and crinkly implosion effect, making it a must-watch for science enthusiasts. if you're interested in learning more about pressure and how it affects the behavior of objects, be sure to check out the slow mo guys' video and other related experiments.
