In terms protecting your body from a vacuum you only need to maintain pressure everywhere on your body. That means your suit doesn't actually need to be air tight (except for your helmet) as long as every part of your body is compressed tightly by the suit.

You should have tried to close the hole with the tape from the inside!

[@niclas3672]

​@@jeffsmith4600 What in the world are you talking about? A suit wouldn't keep expanding if something solid enough held it together. He literally showed that in this video. A pressurized system can be next to a vacuum if some force is keeping the gas there. Such as gravity, in the case of the Earth. Or a solid barrier strong enough to withstand the pressure, such as a vacuum chamber like the one he is using in this very video. Or a space suit. Or Duct Tape.

[@MouseGoat]

duct tape is pretty amazing, seriously, it's definitely one my list for survival gear, even in freaking outer space. heck there might even be a chance you could build both a space suit and a parachute, and if you have enough of it, you could maybe built a big ball so you would not burn up if you come in, in high speed. (last one is unlikely, though, but if you can just align yourself with earth speed you can awoud a lot of the heat problems. and just parachute down :P)

That piece of crap space suit made of fabric LMAO would tear up in a nanosecond. Check out the special suits they need just to deep sea dive. Made of nothing but alloy. You have to pressurize the suit for suitable atmospheric pressure for human survival. Then along with oxygen tanks you use chemical reactions to eliminate the carbon monoxide.

[@phinok.m.628]

5:05 It's not the same thing... When the glove is sealed around the hole, the inside of the glove is kept at a constant pressure of 1 atm. When the glove is tied closed inside the vacuum chamber the pressure inside the glove decreases the more it expands, it may even decrease to a point where a human wouldn't be able to survive without the glove exploding since the pressure inside the glove would be a lot lower than 1 atm. Especially if the glove is as empty as it was in your case and the glove doesn't resist expansion at all at first, probably 'causing the pressure inside the glove to decrease quite substantially. So yeah, that's definitely not an accurate representation of how the glove would actually behave in space or whether it would explode or not.

[@seanrallis6714]

Was thinking the same thing. The pressure inside that glove was a fraction of an atmosphere. However, it is fascinating to know that simple duct tape could be used to patch a hull breach in a pinch. Hell, slap the duct tape on it temporarily, and just weld a plate over the hole.

Matt Thorgood It would depend on how much of a vacuum is inside the package

[@Spudwellington]

if the vacuum on the outside is same as inside, pressure is equalized.

[@nowayitsaj1983]

It wouldn't enlarge at all because the pressure is the same. The only reason it puffs up is because as the air is sucked out air wants to rush in but it can't in a normal one. But it tries to via the glove so it puffs the glove

[@rajchoudhary4349]

Nice narration..!! Vacuum can be lethal...!!

[@n00baTr00pa]

You're lucky that your arm wasn't sealing that hole when the glove popped.

[@TheTonyMcD]

Space suits are only pressured to at most 5psi. So the gloves would be quite a bit easier to move then your example at half or no atmosphere. You really only need to lower the atmosphere by 5psi to get a good equivalent. On top of that, spacesuits are actually built with internal air flaps. Basically, when you move your hands, arms, neck, hip, or legs, these flaps will expand in order to keep the volume of the suit constant. It isn't perfect, but it does significantly improve suit mobility. Honestly what we need to work on though, is a hybrid suit. The torso and head should be covered with a hard shell suit, and the arms and legs should be a skin tight suit (applying pressure via the tension in the fabric). This really would be the best suit we could make with today's technology. Air flaps would likely still be required to a smaller degree considering that the body's volume can can change slightly when move joints. These suits would be much quicker to put on as well. Only a few downsides to the skin suits. They usually need to be customized individually to a degree. They offer less protection from micro meteorites. And, they don't completely remove the changing volume problem. I do prefer this hybrid suit over any complete hard shell design. Hard shells are great for durability, and are a significant improvement over current suits in mobility. They unfortunately have some draw backs. First is they are cumbersome. They take up a lot of area and are quite heavy. Every pound counts with rockets. Second, every suit requires "programming"to a degree. This is the term for how you have to manipulate certain joints to flex in the way that you want them it. It isn't always straight forward with hard suits. While they would be better than current tech, they still aren't very easy to get into. So really, a hybrid suit is the best of both worlds.

[@litheodragon1827]

hey, you should try putting the duct tape 9n the inside to see if the vacuum would pull off the duct tape or not

[@clovinator]

when the glove is inside, and tied up at the end, it makes a huge diffrence! the glove expands, but no air can flow in. so the pressure decreases. the first setup was good though.

[@coffeediction]

the only problem is that matt damon patched it up from outside, which actually should blow the duct tape in the opposite direction

[@ConnorEtch]

Not necessarily, the hole was really small and only had a couple fractures, the tape would definitely last as the air from his suit is not really going to push it off as the duct tape and more surface area for it to stock to, therefore, could counteract the force (which would be a very small amount coming through such a small hole) pushing it. But yes, if the hole were to be bigger, it would definitely be forced off and would have need to be on the inside. The film creators probably did a lot of research before hand.

[@rosscopeakco1]

Whilst I don’t want to be a party pooper I think it’s important to clarify something here. The glove that was totally submerged in the Vacuum is not the same test as the one where the glove was fully exposed to the atmosphere. The reason behind is because if the glove doubled in side, the whilst inside the vacuumed the pressures would now be 0.5 atmospheres, since the same amount of gas is now filling twice the space. whereas the glove attached to the hole in the vacuum container would still have a full atmosphere of force behind it since more air was allowed to enter to glove and fill up the increased volume created by the vacuum. I don’t know how space suits work, but I would assume they try and keep a constant pressure, regardless of how much the suit expands/contracts? Either way, still a great videos! 👍

Farhan Cheema you can't have a vacuum. with liquid water in there. the water will boil reducing the vacuum . that's why commercial vacuum machines has a freezer unit inside. to lock any moisture in ice. so it can't boil off. causing the pressure to drop! I don't know how much the pressure will rise. or how long it will boil. I guess it would boil until it gets to the vapor pressure of water. or what ever its caused. witch water does evaporate at 14psi. so at zero I guess it will boil and evaporate fast. check out water in a vacuum chamber.

May have been the other way around as to the CM and LM canisters-- - Had they not had good old duct tape, they would have been overcome by CO2 poisoning before they made it back to Earth - Of course that was a CO2 partial pressure issue not holding off a vacuum - but impressive none the less. quite amazing stuff!

I think that's an interesting and quick little experiment - I predict a vacuum would rapidly dry wet paper, with the water evaporating into cold "steam" pretty quickly, but it would be interesting to see what (if anything else) happens - maybe the texture and other properties of the paper would be altered in some interesting ways due to the evaporation under low pressure?

[@johnhajdu4276]

The thinking is wrong. In a space suite an astrtonaut ther is 0,29 atmosphere pressure, when outside the pressure is about 0. That means the difference is 0,29 atmosphere. So if you make your experiments, you have to make 1atm - 0,29atm = 0,71atm atmosphere vacuum.

if it pops whilst your hand is in there and exposed to a full vacuum

You'd be surprised how strong skin is.

If you Left it long enough your blood would start to boil and you might partially lose circulation look it up

[@pietrayday9915]

The truth is, nobody really knows what will happen to someone exposed to the vacuum of space for very long: we've got some guesses, and those guesses get adjusted as we learn more, but until we kick someone into an airlock without a suit and open the doors to see what happens, or some well-documented accident or disaster happens, or someone performs some rather cruel live animal medical testing (three things most of us hope won't happen), the best we've got are guesses.

A little duct tape would have fixed it ... Oh wait

[@Gkitchens1]

Also, there is a major difference between what he did in the movie with duct tape, and what you did here. You put duct tape on what would be the inside wall of the ship. He put duct tape on the outside of the helmet. The difference is that in your example, the vsccum was pulling on the duct tape exposed to the hole. In the movie the entire strip of tape is being exposed to vacuum and pulled on, as well as the pressure inside the suit pushing out in the tape covering the hole. It's kind of like using duct tape to seal a leaking aquarium. You put it on the outside and it's just not going to hole the pressure back very well. But on the inside, it could work much much better. (Ignkre that duct tape doesn't mind being wet for that example)
