Homemade Science with Bruce Yeany

Күн бұрын

The string shooter can launch a 8 foot loop of string that has some very interesting properties while it is in motion. The string is moving quickly enough be be self supporting and does not need to touch another surface for support.
Homemade science is a collection of classroom tested ideas, suggestions, projects, and experiments that I have used in teaching physical science for the Annville-Cleona school district in central Pennsylvania. I am currently in my 38th year of teaching. My intention is to share these ideas with other teachers or anyone who has an interest in science. I have found that designing and building my own equipment has taught me more than any course that I have ever taken. I hope that you consider trying this for yourself.. I also share and show some of these ideas at workshops, science conferences, or inservice presentations.
Videos are shot with a Casio EXH20.

Hey, are you here too??? Cool! I totally love your videos. Also, making one like this can maybe shoot you into space if it hase enough force. However the G Force would be so high that no one would survive that. Also you couldn't get into orbit. Anyway, a fun idea! :P

Very nice. It would have been even nicer if it would've answered a few inevitable questions: * Why is the perturbation on the outward part mirrored on the inward part? * Are the waves moving at the same speed as the string? (I guess no, because the waves are moving from the engine towards the end of the loop on both sides.) So what is the speed of the waves in the string, and how is it calculated? * Why is the motion ov waves happening on not only the outward part of the string but also the inward part of the string? * The string shooter was shooting (outward part) on the top. How will it behave if the ourward part is at the bottom? And I haven't even started thinking yet... Which means your video IS awesome, beacuse it made me ask a lot of questions, and it would be nice if you could make a follow-up video with the answers!

Yes, the launch loop is about that big and require three nuclear power plants at each end to power it. I was thinking about doing a larger (than the toy) scale one with a modified lawnmower engine as a summer project. The goal would be to show that you can (or cannot) suspend a platform from the inertia of the string (or wire), tethered to the ground. There is a fundamental principal of statics that says you cannot put a load on a wire, and I believe that is why nobody serious has ever bothered to test it out. In any case, failing or not, i think it would turn out to be a fun video to watch
@azgarogly
@azgarogly 7 жыл бұрын
***** First, be careful, as more energy You pump into the wire, the more consequences of accidental contact with foreign objects. Second, in static you cannot push the wire, but this case is nothing but static.
@MagneBugten
@MagneBugten 7 жыл бұрын
azgarogly Yes i know. Safety is important since this thing will probably store enough energy in the wire to be potentially lethal. I haven't done the math yet but i figure the full power of the lawnmower deposited over a quarter of a second would equal the energy of a .44 Magnum. And yes, that was kind of the implicit point, this is not a static reference frame. But that is the standard answer i get if i ask a mechanical engineer.

I'm thinking the same thing, this looks like it agrees with Mehdi's explanation. In this case the pulling force from the weight of the chain is replaced with the constant pulling from the motor. Mehdi showed that the kind of chain or distribution of masses didn't matter, with enough pulling it would make an arc.

1) Can you tilt the loop sideways? 2) Even with this device, you could not stop the wave. Do you think you can make an experiment were you can manage to stop it? 3) And this baffles me the most. On the slow moving "gravity assisted" version the downstream side of the loop seemed like solid. Why we observe here slow moving wave even on the downstream side?? I expected it to be at least as "solid" as on the vertical version.

As usual I am not sure who has the most fun in your classes; you or the kids. However, If my basic understanding of physics is correct the string is being pulled through the wheels, not pushed. The resulting dynamics of the string is due to its inertia. I was always lead to believe that the only two pushing forces were gravitational and magnetic. Just the same it is a fun machine that illustrates many properties of physics. Good job.

A lithium Ion battery has the lowest self discharge compared to other rechargeable batteries. It loses 24% per year. An alkaline however loses only 3% per year. The champion is primary lithium which only loses 2% per year. That's why digital clocks can run for years using alkaline batteries

I'm sorry but I don't have a good answer for you at the moment. In my thinking, it shouldn't so I need to go back and take another look

+Bruce Yeany +L.Y. G. -- Touching the string changes the tension in the string loop. As it sounds like the sting completes about 3 loops per second, it should take about 1/3 second for a disturbance at the Launch End to propagate all the way around. Looks to me like it does. _Hypothesis:_ Wave speed is proportional to string speed and loop tension. Repeat the experiment with Beaded Chain, which will allow longer loops due to less aerodynamic drag+more mass and momentum. Vary the loop length, observe time for disturbances to propagate. Look at video frame-by-frame to get more exact timings. [Note: it is also known as Ball Chain. See www.michaels.com/bead-landing-ball-chain-spool/10338105.html for example.]

Dude, we could totally turn this into a space elevator, just shoot a metal cable instead and pass some current through it, you can ride it out to space, it's awesome!
@212superdude212

Javier Chiappa I think you're under thinking the requirements for such a task. First off, the power needed for such a feet would be through the roof. The string in the video is about 16 ft in length whereas the cable to reach an appropriate height would need to be about 70,000+ kilometres long. Don't forget you're trying to propel this thing into space from a single point of contact. Even if you could get this cable to create a loop large enough to reach a station in geo synchronous orbit, to utilise it would need to attach a container to the cable whilst its spinning going from 0 to a few thousand meters per second almost instantly, this would throw the cable off course possibly pulling it out of the sky. I could go on and maybe I will if you want me too which I doubt but I'm tired so maybe some other time

212superdude212 And one would have to factor in the fact the Earth's rotational forces and let's not even consider the forces of weather. Sad we don't teach kids the math of physics. It's essentially the elevator cable problem. We have built tall buildings but an elevator can not go from the ground floor to the top floor. Why? The diameter of the cable would have to be so large the wight of the just the cable needed would exceed the strength of cable and the cable would break. This is a problem already exists in the tallest buildings in the world. If we can't do it for a building not sure how it could be done to get into space.

You know what would be a good variation of this demonstration and turn it into an experiment? Have multiple string launchers and use different lengths of string, and strings of different diameters.

I really enjoy the Content you are putting out on your channel. I'm currently enrolled in my second level physics course at my state university. I really wish we had access to these type of demonstrations during lecture! It would make the study of physics much more interesting. Wave motion, inertia, angular properties, momentum, and projectile motion can all be taught by this device. Great work, keep it up. I'll show this to my professor and see if he likes your channel.
