Ok now I want to know if this will do the same with lasers instead of streams of water. I assume a much greater rotation rate will be required.

[@foamboard_shenanigans]

Can you hire the LHC by the hour and give that a try?

[@rompdude]

I would expect so, but I think you are right about the speed being key. I suspect a very fast rotation before you can really see a "bend". The water molecules move extremely slow in comparison to light, so it's very easy for the rotation to overcome this. Also.. Absolutely love your channels, I hope you can keep doing what you do as long as you feel you can.

[@TheSpacecraftX]

The ol relativistic sprinkler.

[@duroxkilo]

@Cody'sLab that was a great thought. the speed of light remains constant but the frequency would change (relativistic doppler effect).. i'm guessing that adding the two vectors as in this video (speed of light + rotation speed) would produce a perceived change in the color of the laser. depending on the observer's position i imagine it could get trippy..

[@MediocreHexPeddler]

I think that whatever apparatus you constructed to hold the laser emitters while rotating would overcome the tensile strength of its material before you could observe a perceptible curvature of said lasers... unless you did so on an enormous scale. If you put a field of light-scattering dust around the planet and recorded the laser light interacting with that at a fraction of a light-second's distance from the emitter, it could be done. Very close to the emitter, you would notice nothing, but in low orbit, you'd notice a slight bending, and in geostationary orbit, you'd have about 120 milliseconds between the emitter and the observed scattering. You would need extraordinarily sensitive imaging equipment to observe such an effect, and the farther the laser traveled through such a cloud, the more it would scatter and the less perceptible it would become.

[@LikeOnATree]

Destin, your quote at 10:00 really resonated with me: "When I disagree with someone, or at least I think I disagree with someone, it is imperative that I stop -- I listen, and I don’t move on until I completely understand the other person’s perspective. Because it’s possible, you’ll find, you don’t actually disagree." A great takeaway and a great quote for all of us! Thanks so much for being real and explaining how you felt! Yet another great video, well done!

[@christianbarnay2499]

This is the basics of communication and it is always worth reminding from time to time. All communication comes with a whole bunch of implicit things like vocabulary, point of view, historical info, know-how, etc that are considered common knowledge and left untold for the sake of efficiency. It takes a lot of effort to second check them and make sure they are really common. So unless you have absolute certainty that the other party is a complete moron and is not worth talking to (then why are you talking to them in the first place?), you should always consider that this person is not stupid. So when what they say doesn't make sense to you, your first reaction should be to trace back their arguments and try to find out at what point their reasoning differs from yours. Then it's relatively easy to explicitly tell them so you can review what was truly agreed on and who is right or whether both views are just different wordings of the same thing.

[@Rygir]

Seeing how often we get the basics wrong I'm happy to have a video where it's shown and handled well. I think this video is the first or at least the best example where I see someone realizing it. And on top of that he doesn't weasel out but he makes it a great lesson!

[@beaconofwierd1883]

Feels like you forgot to mention why the water travels ”ahead” when spraying inwards and ”behind” when spraying outward. The answer is simple geometry, when spraying inward the ”radius” decreases so the droplets travel faster than the shaft (since they have the tangential velocity at the tip). When spraying outward the ”radius” increases and the droplets travel slower than the imaginary extension of the pipes. Sure, just saying ”look at the resultant of velocities and remember that unless acted on by a force everything travels straight” explains the phenomena, but I feel like the simple geometry aspect explains the ”optical illusion” which really isn’t an illusion, the water is really shooting out in front and lagging behind the pipes, if you were to place something there (in the same rotational reference frame) it would become wet, so not really an ”illusion”.

[@TheMilosDjuric]

The water droplets are 'drawing' a trace which looks like it's ahead or behind the nozzle, but they're just moving at an angle that changes relative to the rotating nozzles. The terms 'ahead' and ' behind' are not relevant in this dualistic system where one part is rotating (nozzles) and the other moving linearly, it's just the trace that gives us the false impression, while our brains fail to decode the movement of each individual droplet. Our brains also fail to decode other people's views and feelings when we assume to have authority on some subject. I wouldn't say any nation in particular exhibits this feature, but progressive, intelligent and educated folks can be arrogant, even without knowing it.

This needs to be pinned. Absolutely the changing radius is the reason for 'curve' as angular momentum appears to turn into straight momentum.

First Sprinkler: Once the water leaves the spout there is no Coreolis force to accelerate it tangentially that’s why it lags behind the sprinkler arms as it moves radially outward. Each particle has the same tangential velocity as it had when it left the nozzle. The drops would have to accelerate tangentially (via Coreolis force) to keep up with the arm as the drops move away from the centre of rotation. Once the drops leave the nozzles they travel in straight lines. Second sprinkler. This is the exact opposite of the first case. The flow appears to lead the arms because the water has the tangential velocity that it had when it left the nozzle. There is no Coreolis force to slow the water’s tangential velocity to match the arms. Since the tangential velocity at the nozzle is bigger than nearer the axis the water leads the arms.

[@samuelunderwood5286]

Here's a way to intuit this result: If two objects are in circular motion with the same tangential velocity, but with different radii, the one with the smaller radius will have a higher angular velocity, which means it will complete the circle in less time. Think of a fan blade. The end of the blade has a much higher tangential speed than the base even though both parts of the blade complete the circle in the same amount of time. If you decrease the radius, but keep tangential velocity the same, you get a greater angular speed, which explains why the water moving inwards leads, while the water moving outwards trails.

[@ZoidsNut]

Aha! Thank you for that!

[@m4r_y0]

[@m4r_y0]

Matthew Bowles you are correct the droplets doesn’t have a circular path. But it still does apply. Meaning the distance between the droplet and the center in the second test is is getting smaller, vs in the first test is getting bigger. So relative to the nozzle end, the droplets can be ahead or behind it since the nozzle end doesn’t change its distance which is the radius

[@balzi76]

@@m4r_y0 I think I understand what you're saying, but because the droplets don't have a circular path, the initial state does NOT have two objects in circular motion, so any effects of their relative radii and angular velocity are not applicable. right?

[@StephenBroadfoot]

Hey Destin, video request! In the book "Surely you're joking Mr Feynman" at the end of the chapter of the same name, Feynman describes an experiment he did with spinning water pipes. In the experiment, he sets up an S shaped pipe and forces water through it and asks, which way will the pipe spin? Then asks the question, if instead, the whole thing were submerged in water, and we suck water through the S shaped pipe, which way will the pipe spin? Unfortunately, the chapter ends with him breaking some Princeton equipment and we don't get to find out which way it spins! I think this would be an awesome follow up video to make!

As someone who like physics in high school and college at first I predicted what it was going to do. but as soon as Destin said it would lag behind my brain. decided all that math stuff is wrong and to go with what feels right, the water lagging behind. this is something our brains like to do to us. we will use our preconceived model of the world, based on or daily experience, to predict things; even if a more accurate math based model exists saying it is wrong. And this is hard to overcome as our brain does not like being wrong. I am glad for videos like these, because they still show me that I haven't fully gotten over this flaw of overconfidence in my predictive skills

[@martinharding]

@@RICDirector You are only used to the water coming out on the outside of the turn, as with the first example in this video. the second example the water is being fired in the opposite direction, into the inside of the turn and hence the opposite happens.

If you tilted your head to the right, objects would drop the "wrong way" to the right, but they would still be following the laws of gravity.

[@vitor900000]

There is one thing you guys didn't show. 7:54 If you increase the rotation speed of the "reverse sprinkler" the curvature you see the water making will flip and start to lag behind instead of being in front of the direction of rotation. Not only that but instead of a parabola curving out of the circle it will be curving in like a spiral. You see that parabola curving out in front of the direction of rotation because the water of moving faster than that "reverse sprinkler" direction of rotation. When their speed equalize you will see some kind of mushroom shape and maybe even make a Laminar Flow because the water that is getting out of the tube will collide with the water that is getting out of the tube. Be aware that the water inside those tubes are experiencing centrifugal effect and because of that the faster you spin the "reverse sprinkler" the faster the water will want to get out of the tubes so you may need to add a flow restriction to make the effect easier to produce.

It's not the coriolis effect. That effect is easily overcome with the implementation of external force on the object. In this case external force has already been added by the rotation of the sprinkler. This is just plain old centripetal Force aided by gravity and acceleration.

[@banderi002]

I very much think this is the Coriolis effect, or at least the same phenomenon that applies to both, is at play. As the water moves closer to the center of spin, it appears to "speed up" relative to the spindle, making it curve to the right; as it jets away, it "slows down" making it curve to the left.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, cause I'm not going to read 5000 comments.

And they demonstrate how quickly this very unintuitive effect becomes intuitive when you are in the rotating environment instead of looking at it from the outside.

So basically: The water lags behind when the water is going radially away from the center because the ratio of the water particles angular velocity to its radial distance is decreasing. The water appears to be going ahead of the rotation when the water is going radially inward because that same ratio is then increasing. This was a really cool video!

[@MasonAldridge]

[@ZeroJoJoZero]

Yes I think you are correct, and I am a bit disappointed that Dustin did not explain why most people would assume that the water in the second contraption should trail like it did in the first place. Thank you for doing that in his stead! In simple English: assume that the contraption shoots out pellets of water, in the second example, the further the pellets are from the spout, the closer they are to the center. This means they need to travel less and less distance as the pellet approaches the center, while the newly formed pellets have to travel more (to appear to be in a line).

[@davidvirgilio4166]

The key point that made it click for me is this: The magnitude of tangential component of the velocity of the water coming out of the tube is proportional to the radius at the point it exits. Now imagine a line extending outward. The tangential component of a point out there moving on that line would be greater than the speed of the water shooting outward so the water seems to "lag behind". Contrast this to shooting water inwards. In that case a point on the line has a smaller tangential component than for the water, so the water seems to "dart ahead".
