[@Thundawich]

It would be much better if you only had a small secret chamber and one murder hole to cover up. Needing to fill the teapot through the murderholes makes it super awkward to use, it would work much better if you just had a tiny container for the poison and just mixed it in to the bulkier liquid as required, with most of it just being a regular teapot with the detachable lid and everything. Plus, this way it doubles as an actual teapot you can just use whenever.

[@StormgemThunder]

Alternatively, have left/right chambers instead of top/bottom that you can fill via removing the lid (that seals properly) Then just move the location of the holes to accomodate this (so on the top left/right of the handle for instance)

[@burgerforcongress1001]

Or would that more accurately be the NON-murder hole, since you cover it to pour the safe drink? Also, if the poison is clear, you don't need to worry about the colors matching.

You can't technically drink anything, it's actually the null drink that's pushed out of you.

[@Pablo360able]

@@EdiblePlutonium Actually, that reminds me of something funny: If you look at the thermodynamic behavior of systems with “negative temperature”, they’re “hotter” than systems with positive temperature, with small absolute negative values being the hottest. The conclusion drawn from this is that thermodynamic beta, which is just the reciprocal of temperature scaled by the Boltzmann constant, is a more physically “fundamental” concept than temperature itself, in some sense. What this means is that it’s more accurate to say that you let the cold in than letting the heat out. Take that out of your null pipe and smoke it.

considering that there are only 2 holes per container, one of them being in the spout, and the other one being small enough to cover with a vinger. i imagine it is hell to actually fill it up (you are bound to lose some liquid due to having to put the teapot upside down?), let alone clean it after there has been hot/warm creamer inside, i agree it would be cool tough. maybe if the design would be changed, and there would be a bigger hole with room for your hands to fit in (for cleaning), that can be closed with a sillicone gasket, it might work. seems like a lot of efford for a partytrick tough. also i dont think gaskets with that size can withstand too much wear and tear..

This is called 鸳鸯转香壶. Based on Chinese wiki ‘Baidu’ it first appeared in the Han Dynasty. Year 241 BC, after the death of Emperor Hui of Han, his son Liu Gong was made emperor. The late queen Lü Zhi, fearing that new emperor’s mother might vie for power with her, used this kind of pot to hold two types of wine, one of which was poisoned. At a banquet, the emperor’s mother was poisoned to death with this wine. By the Northern Song Dynasty, the emperor Zhao Guangyi used this pot filled with wine to entertain another emperor Li Yu. Legend says the fragrance of the wine masked the poisoned wine, leading to Li’s death in Bianjing. Since then, many legends related to this pot have emerged.

For all of you “what if I cover the wrong hole” folks out there, the bottom hole is not intended to be covered during “normal” use. Always put poison on top and tea on the bottom, reason being the top hole is more ergonomically viable to cover than the bottom. As the poison and tea will mix together in your victim’s cup automatically when you pour them out together, you only need to cover the top hole when serving yourself. I hope it makes sense.

Adding another reason to always use the top for normal. In every clear pot demonstration you can see some of the top liquid flowing back up the spout and into the bottom after the first pour.

[@thanhhoang7335]

However, isn’t that SUPER risky? Should poison be in the top layer, each time you finish pouring, some amount of poison would easily just flow from the tip back to the normal drink in the layer below. So i think its safer to put the poison in the bottom layer

@MCSteve the problem is ste stadow is not moving. Or similarly, it you pointed a laser to the Moon, it would not be the laser dot moving. It would be photons moving from us to the moon, creating an illusion of the movement of the shadow/dot on the moon. I.e. you can't transmit information this way faster than light. The information goes from us to different spot on moon, but not from point a on moon to point B on moon.

@@panda4247 I think you're misunderstanding the point of this. This whole thread is just pointing out the property of absence. The projection of shadow is like a lever. When I said "without too much effort" I mean moving the laser or whatever light source about a point of rotation. This example does not have to be light, it can be the intersection of two angled edges. The point of intersection can move at a greater rate to the edges. Like shadows, intersection is an arbitrary point of interest (they're not physical), the whole phenomena is a consequence of geometry.

Here's a fun one. I have a pair of reusable water bottles that I used to use for drinking soda. However, when I first started using them for such, the soda keep going up the straws to squirt out the spouts. I found out that the lids had vents with rubber stoppers that acted like a one-way valve meant to allow air while keeping the liquid from spilling out. This was probably added to make the bottles spill-proof but it was causing the gases in my soda to be trapped and force the soda up the straws and out the spouts. I've since remove the rubber stoppers but I've also switched to using the bottles for water like they were meant to. I can image that if I had found a way to seal both the vents and the spouts with soda in them, the bottles would either explode or become pressurized like a normal soda bottle.

Cool teapot, and cool video, but I do take small issue with you saying that you're using your lungs to create the vacuum in your mouth for a straw to work.. that's one way to do it, but it's also a good way to drown. Typically when you drink with a straw, the vacuum is caused by starting with your tongue forward, filling your mouth cavity, then pulling or flexing it backward to create empty space that needs to be filled by whatever can be pushed by atmospheric pressure through the straw. You drink from a straw without moving your diaphragm at all.

Its the same reason there is a hole at the top of a coffee mug you might buy from Costas, as you drink, air has to flow in to replace the space left from the coffee, or the coffee will not come out. As you're sucking from the straw, what you're doing is removing air from it. It is then the atmospheric pressure then pressing on the liquid on the outside that causes the liquid to rise. If you tried it on the Moon without atmosphere, likely it would not work. I hope that helps.

I guess to make sense of it would be to say, the positive side of a battery in a connected series circuit gains energy from the negative side which gives away energy. Air is the connected circuit that circulates pressure as energy/current in this scenario. The open holes on the tea pot's handle(positive side of the battery) gains air/pressure to push out the liquid from its chamber to the neck/exit of the tea pot(negative side of the battery). Blocking a hole on the handle is the same as breaking off a part in the circuit. The teapot is a series circuit in this situation. I almost failed physics so I apologize if this doesn't make sense.

This teapot reminds me of when you put your finger on one end of a straw's hole, and whatever liquid there is in the straw doesn't flow out. So basically this teapot is like having two straws with liquid in them
