"Why does it spin" Because spinning is so much cooler than not spinning.

[@nonothebot]

Or the ice cube creates a "vacuum" of IR light..

[@thepeanut2681]

I think because its cooler to spin

[@stanleybochenek1862]

yeah

[@sharp14x]

He's the General, he wants it to spin. Now!

[@kelvinsmith5533]

Simple

[@JS-zq1gp]

At UofA college Physics lab many many years ago I built a radiometer located inside a high vacuum chamber. I vacuum deposited aluminum on one side and carbon black on the other side of the microscope coverglass slides. Plotting rotation as a function of vacuum pressure with a 1KW light illuminating the radiometer, as the pressure dropped the radiometer spun away from the black side then as pressure continued to drop it stopped rotating as pressure continued to drop it began s[pinning away from the aluminum mirror side. Black is thermal, Mirror is photon pressure.

Genius explanation! I wonder if anyone had tried it with different colors to see if this can work!

[@masscreationbroadcasts]

When you said different colours I thought of the light, which I wonder if it'll spin faster at higher frequencies or in reverse if meeting radio. Probably not the later.

[@peterhunt1968]

Photons don't have mass but they to have momentum. Maybe this photon momentum is providing a push to the vane dark sides....absorbing photon momentum. I used a blue laser like yours on the program.......Very good science (and safety) show I think.

How does your 100,000 lumen flashlight compare to full sunlight?

[@tridos2574]

What?

[@abrahamgamer8331]

27,000 lumens difference according to google

[@davidanderson5310]

The brightness of the sun is about 127,000 lumens *per square meter*. About 98,000 lumens / m^2 after passing through the atmosphere. You can't compare that directly to the flashlight. We could estimate if we knew how wide the flashlight was, what angle the light emerges with, and how far away it was... or James could just tell us.

[@Qaptyl]

if its 100,000 lumens bright, and it is shined at something less than a meter away, it would be brighter than atmosphere influenced sunlight. if you press it up against the wall then it will be even more bright.

@@pente12 More to the point, we don’t even use most of the energy we produce-by a huge amount. In the 1880’s, Oliver Heaviside decided to investigate how much energy was being produced versus how much energy landed in the wires. His result had thirteen zeroes in it. Shocked, he went and got a bigger envelope. His second answer also contained thirteen orders of magnitude. Realizing that no one would ever believe him, he declined to publish his findings officially. For context, this is like using one hurricane to drive one sailboat, and upon trying to drive a second sailboat using the same hurricane, being told “No! You must use a separate hurricane for each sailboat, or else you are breaking the laws of thermodynamics.” If I have twenty trillion dollars, and bread is two dollars per loaf, then if I want multiple loaves for my money, am I a believer in “free money” pseudoscience?

[@hurmzz]

What is the difference between the 2nd incorrect explanation and the correct explanation? 2nd mentions pressure, correct mentions particle force, which is basicly the same. In both explanations it is air being hotter on one side so having more pressure/force against the vane. The whole “block other molecules from reaching it” doesn’t seem to make any sense. It’s a low pressure gas, differences in temperature/pressure increase circulation, not that this would be needed, since its a gas.
