Two Vortex Rings Colliding in SLOW MOTION - Smarter Every Day 195

[@smartereveryday]

Thank you to the Patrons of Smarter Every Day for helping me do things like this: www.patreon.com/smartereveryday.

[@johndiggle6315]

Think about the spin of each ring. See the mushroom cloud effect at the start? The centers of the ring are moving outward faster than the outside and creating a backspin. When they collide, even as the low pressure pulls material together, both rings are still spinning opposite each other and because of the magnus effect(if I'm thinking of the correct effect), they create a forward, or outward away from the main ring, pull. I can't articulate it very well because I'm just not smart enough, but think of a basketball's backspin, and how it creates a forward pull that lengthens a shot.

[@BLOODnVALOR]

SmarterEveryDay Bro, did you just say “jif” !?!? Graphic Interchange Format... “gif”. You are a true hero to my girls and I and I have been subscribed for years, but that is unacceptable. 😂 ...and then not using Micah 7:8 for your Bible verse? Perfect video for that verse! God bless you brother. Keep up the great content.

[@BigRheno]

Maybe there is a direct collision between an area in the low pressure zone and in the ink or the space between that causes the smaller rings to be at a 90 degree turn.

[@collinjenkins4651]

Could the reason for the 90 degree turn be due to the low pressure zone pulling material to itself then the momentum carried from the movement colliding with the material from the opposing side create a backspin and then create a new vortex

[@russellwile5694]

I dont think there is an actual 90° turn. Looks like many smaller collisions similar to the first. Like fractals. Id love to see this done in a place with 0 resistance if it were possible.

Rare Earth you must never checked out the paper patriot. He makes 3d models using only paper.

[@smartereveryday]

We used a computer controlled cylinder to pump fluid behind a rubber membrane to fire toroidal vortices out of the vortex cannons. We fixed one of the vortex cannon in a stationary position, and used a multi-axis microscope stage to align a second cannon to it… which sounds incredibly easy, until you realize that DYE density was an experiment all on its own. If the density of the dye mix was lighter than water, the vortex would go up. If the dye was more dense than water the vortex would fall. We had to overcome SO MANY VARIABLES and we basically spent about 4 hours figuring each variable. Water/dye temperature differential Water turbulence Water turbidity (cloudiness or haziness of a fluid) How to reset the aquarium Cannon Spacing Cannon Nozzle Cannon Shape Dye homogeneity in the vortex itself The piston displacement volume The piston stroke speed Rubber diaphragm tension, would make one side fire faster than the other. Water or air to drive diaphram? Firing speed (too slow and they drift, too fast and turbulence tears apart secondaries) We did a complete redesign of the cannon 3 different times. The Dye loading method was changed several times At times We tried to maintain negative pressure on the cannon chamber… we also tried to put shutters on the front of the muzzle. Ultimately I decided it was ok to live with dye dripping out of the front. We had to premix the dyes and eventually we got there. It got to the point where we didn’t even really know what success looked like and always thought we were there.

[@EdRickerVlogs]

@@Chris.Davies If the current camera and media demands remain the same, that may be true for certain applications. But I think in 30 years, we'll be regularly recording immersive VR experiences instead of just 2D viewing. I see in 30 years (or around then) vlogs will be immersive and participatory, and movies will allow you to enter into the storyline and observe the characters side by side (or be one). We do have that to some extent with video games, but in 30 years I think VR will encompass video games, movies, online media, news, everything. I think anything media related will be participatory and interactive from a virtual reality standpoint. The camera's wouldn't just be 360 capture...they'd be able to map out 3D space and reproduce any environment for us to walk through, or fly, or shoot zombies, or have a virtual significant other that makes you happier than any real person you've ever met. "Hey, you talking to me?" "Nah, I'm just having a conversation in the Matrix." Of course that's assuming we don't blow ourselves up first.

Many years ago I did some research on thermoelastic effects with concentric discs. One unexpected effect we found was that the many round hot spots that formed always were a prime number. Varying condition we got from 3 to 23 evenly spaced spots. I would like to know what number of ring spots you generated, and what influenced the number of these rings.

[@christianheichel]

Interesting...... Do you know how/why the rings form?

[@arnoldanderson7661]

Chris Heichel In my research, it was thermoelastic instabiliy. Friction causes temperature rise, which causes thermal expansion, which localizes heating to a narrow band. The higher the rotational speed, the greater the instability and the quicker the hot spots form. We even found that a plain paper ring could form hot spots on steel (blue oxide color) in about 0.7 seconds without even discoloring the paper!

[@christianheichel]

@@arnoldanderson7661 Thank you! It looks like it's going to make for some very interesting reading. I look forward to learning more about it.

[@benwilms3942]

Since the pressure differential inside and outside the ring would be consiastent around the whole ring, the ring being symmetrical, then it seems feesible that the collapse would break into the lowest possible whole number larger than one, at intervals informed by the dimensions and momentum of the fluid. The rings in the video I mean.

[@RealityHijacked]

If Pythagoras were alive today, he'd be asking 2 very obvious questions: "Why Are There Always 18 Rings That Form After The Collision?"... "What Can We Learn From This Numerical Constant?" Please, see for yourself - pause the video during each take and count the rings that form. 18 lateral rings are formed after each successful dynamic collision, time and time again. 18 is the constant, but why is this? What can we glean from this phenomenon? I'd suggest that the number 9 may hold the secret to this mystery... I'd really love to hear Destin's take on this. Amazing video, as always!

[@shubhamsarkar9680]

RealityHijacked I didn't notice until u said..... Nice observation...👍

[@agmessier]

There may be a scaling parameter involved that involves the ratio of the ring diameter and the strength of the vortex. I wonder if varying one of these two parameters may cause tha number to change.

[@JoDidntHearYou]

YES! Great question!

[@EisenFeuer]

It's not always 18, I counted 28 one one of the 12 hour clips

[@jerome_david]

+Eisen Feuer, was the 28-count an imperfect collision? The 18-count trend might only occur when then collision is flat. If that's the case, the angle with which the rings collide might be influencing the number of lateral rings.

[@midship_nc]

Destin do a video on mechanical face seals, and gas compressor seals. I work for a company that designs and manufactures them. The gas compressor seals are flat to within 2 millionths of a inch and use a design to create lift between the rotary and stationary faces with no contact. Sealing hundreds of bar. We measure their flatness in helium light bands.

So I was looking at the shots you made and I notice that they are not just secondary rings but 1/2 blue - 1/2 Red and that they don't mix. So the pressure wave from the 2 are causing a form of kenetic barrier with the weaker eventually breaking down. The density of the 2 liquids are not equal. But none the less brilliant...

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

Um.... No. He said that we "lost the technology" to go to the moon. Not that we haven't been through the Van Allen belts. And he was being largely hyperbolic about the "lost the technology" - not that we COULDN'T get back to the moon, just that we stopped making the stuff needed. And both "quotes" aren't actual quotes by Pettit or another NASA engineer, but science-doubters misquoting/misinterpreting them.

[@kelnick2264]

Anonymous Freak I've heard him say it, your a liar sir, do you work for fake nasa? You gotta be pretty thick to think that nasa stopped making the technology that sent them to the moon and made "history"

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

Why would NASA keep making now-obsolete technology? The F-1 engine (the engine of the Saturn V) hasn't been made since the mid '60s. The AGC (Apollo Guidance Computer), in addition to being ridiculously out of date, hasn't been made since the early '70s. Yes, we *COULD* build technology to go to the moon again - such as SLS or BFR, but it isn't available *NOW*. After Apollo 17, there was zero reason to keep making "moon technology."

[@kelnick2264]

Anonymous Freak ok it's not moon technology its space technology, and don't tell me they wouldn't keep updating their technology?? The gasoline engine was built over 100 yrs ago but they keep updating the technology don't they. Plane technology is kept updated all technology is updated, but not moon technology???

Fluid dynamics are fundamental in spacecraft propulsion. Understanding how this effect works, and being able to recreate it successfully 100% of the time might one day help us to colonize Mars or create a habitable artificial gravity aboard space stations.

[@guyjameso]

I add that last bit about artificial gravity because the Coriolus effect is a big hinderance to creating smaller scale rotational g force - imagine if we were to apply this fluid dynamic effect into the equation for coriolus to off-center the fulcrum ten inches to the left effectively canceling out the big g on the y axis - how awesome would that be?

QuasiTron Gaming I agree. I always find these ‘what’s stopping you’ lectures very played out and condescending. What’s stopping people is money, or time, or maybe their dream job just isn’t economically viable. Maybe someone’s dream is held back by their genetics. Granted, there are people who don’t do things because they don’t want to make the effort, but most of the time there are legitimate, tangible obstructions to dreams and ideas.

Hi Sunshine, I have been watching videos on vortex in water the one that caught my eye was when a girl took a 12" plate in at the shallow end of a swimming pool and with one swoop down created two vortex. These two vortex started swimming laps together they lasted so long. I couldn't believe it one little swoop well over 3min. I thought that was cool until I watched watched this two colliding vortex producing baby vortex, I'm still replaying this in my mind. May peace an prosperity be with you always.

[@shubhamsarkar9680]

Steve-o yeah I watched that episode of physics girl too.... But the case here is different from there. There is a toroidial semi vortex with two openings rotating in opposite directions....(it seems pretty obvious ., As clock wise rotation from top is counter clockwise from bottom).. But the cool fact is that they seemed to be feeding each other.( Each other ?!!!!?😅 As they are two faces of a single vortex).. And u cut half and it destroyed.. But here two different vortices collide with each other in a head on collision forming another sets of vortices.. I m a fan of her channel too.......👍

I really like this, I think this could be scaled up to car size and we will see some truly amazing things

[@MrJadedGreen]

Yes. Stuff like this is how we evolve. Yes, in a combustion engine, the explosion difference could be tremendous giving more horsepower, better fuel mileage. Problem is that piston coming up. There's really nowhere for the second output to have the spread out flat and evenly across the top of the piston that would make it that much greater. Would have to be dead on and spread it out flat covering the top of the piston. Then you have firing, which again is like the piston, where the plug would have to set to fire in the center of the fuel meeting and follow outward with the process. Fire in the dead center, the explosion would form in the center, chain it's self from there outward, covering the whole piston top giving more power through a multiple combustion series and require less fuel. Then you have timing. That's a whole other problem to get straight. Do you fire before, during or after contact? Computers should make easy work of that though. I like where your mind is headed with it regardless.

[@Lameonade]

Oh wow. I interpreted his comment as literally scale it to the size of a car, not scale it to be used in a car. But I really liked reading your thought process :)

[@lizardbrain5962]

I thought he litterally meant use cars instead, but I guess some people are just not retards.

[@ThePineTreesBand]

Nah I think he meant, scale the mechanism up to a size that would produce those water donuts close to the demensions of a full size car, in order to enable you to see higher detail close up, as to what is really happening during the collision. I would assume he didn't say anything to the guy with the elaborate engine application perception, because it was much more interesting and impressive of an idea and he'd rather just keep quiet and accept credit and applause, then explain his original intent.
