this is commonly used in surgery.. the side of the instrument is used to cut and coagulate tissue. the cavitation effect is actually useful to increase distance between tissues.. it's like blowing bubbles into the tissue (comercial names - Sonicbeat, Thunderbeat, Harmonic scalpel)

I actually had one of those ultrasonic humidifiers he mentioned when I was a kid - well, my dad did, but he used it to humidify my room. Being a curious 12-year-old, I once reached in and put my finger on the vibrating plate to see what it felt like and it was crazy unpleasant. It felt like a mix of being burned and electrified at the same time and gave my finger a really painful tingling sensation for a few minutes. After watching this, I can understand why!

Hi Gav! I actually used this instrument many times before. I'm working in a biochemistry lab and I used a very similar sonicator to extract proteins from bacteria cells. With this instrument, if you use it corectly, you can extract proteins that are not harmed from the forces and heat of the sonicator than you can later test their activity in a tube, purified from bacteria. It's very interesting to see this in slow mo. I didn't realize that the thin arm goes up and down. I thought that it goes slightly side-to-side. I hope you used sound-proof headphones because the sonicator can hurt you hearing. Thank you!

@@jcdenton4534 I think what he’s saying is that the Flash wouldn’t have to punch hard due to the frequency of his punches being so high. At the speeds the Flash is capable of moving in, even a small tap would be enough to cause damage equivalent to a small explosion. It’s similar to the “needle hitting the earth at the speed of light” debate, his inertia would negate his necessity for strength

I used to use a piece of lab equipment called a flow cytometer, which would count microscopic particles in a sample by creating a very thin stream of water, and photographing individual droplets. A part of the machine was a form of sonicator that would send sound waves through the stream so that you could control the size of the droplets perfectly and time them so the computer could photograph them as they passed the camera. see if you can get your hands on one of those, there was a microscopic camera built in for calibration but it wasn't fast enough to visualise the change from a stream to droplets

For anyone who is interested: the speed of the tip in the up and down movement is on average about 12 m/s or about 43 kmph according to my own calculations. At 4:50 Gav shows that the width of the tip is 3mm. At 6:46 I took a screenshot with fullscreen and measured in paint that the width of the tip is 345 pixels. Then I compared the frame where the tip is all the way down to the frame where the tip is all the way up and I measured that it has a difference of about 24 pixels. 24 pixels equal about 0,208695652 mm which is the amount the tip moves up (and which logically is also the amount the tip moves down). Then, if you convert that length to meters and multiply it by 2 since it goes up and down in 0,000035 seconds, you get: (0,000208695652*2)/0,000035 = 11,9254658 m/s or 42,93167698 kmph Or about 12 m/s or 43 kmph

Perfect and fascinating video. As ultrasonic liquid processing specialist since more than 40 years I would like to co-operate for new and spectacular new facts in this technology! Many facts are wellknown and described phenomenally but not yet with physical or obvious proof!

Looks like teenage Gavin is making a comeback.

[@joshlisher9771]

Looks like Gavin's shaved onto his shirt xD either that or an oddly designed shirt

[@Pow3llMorgan]

Or he's worn it so much it is growing a beard itself.

[@ym160]

I noticed that too. He tried to clean up and look presentable for the video, but he ended up with beard hair all over his shirt. That's definitely a f**k face

[@Nefoedd]

Think his chest hair is eating through his t-shirt

I love how it destroys the surface tension of water to get microscopic droplets. Usually when trying to film models of boats and storms in water the surface tension gives the scale away but you can see that 3mm tip has tiny particles of water dancing on the top and trying to remain stuck to it. I have never seen water do this before !

[@mwwhited]

When you were looking at the single up down around 7 minutes in the part I found most interesting was watching the tiny water droplets being dragged along from the surface tension of the water.

[@hglebre]

Love the description "When it really comes down to it, in this video Gav is filming a vibrating stick in slow mo. However, not all sticks vibrate. Especially not as fast as this one. "

I've put my finger in my 100w ultrasonic cleaner, it feels like pins and needles. Besides the immediate physical damage, I wonder how much of the underlying skin, capillaries, and muscle could be killed by this tool.

Technically you can mix them if you have an emulsifier

Other lab equipment: How about a centrifuge? After mixing stuff, lets see how stuff seperates... ;-) Might be difficult to film, though... maybe sync the framerate to the rotation so it looks like the thing is standing still?

[@SpydersByte]

that would be pretty cool, if it looked like it was stationary but the contents were mixing
