For those who didn't like the shaking, I motion stabilized the entire video and posted it on my second channel. Here you go! kzread.info/dash/bejne/k5d6zbyida-0Yso.html. Sorry for shaking it so much! I thought one of the most interesting things is watching how the liquid waves change. And also when the meniscus is almost gone, you can’t really see anything unless it’s moving. But point taken if I ever do this again, I will do less shakes, lol.

Read this comment and immediately thought of mark normand.
A missing observation here is that the styrofoam got absolutely crushed. While it's in there you can tell the surface that was mostly smooth at the beginning is dimpled inward significantly. But then at the end 7:51 when he's handling it, you can see that the former half sphere is now a bowl. Styrofoam is normally less than 100 g/L density, so for it to sink in a 400 g/L fluid means that it must be squished to less than a quarter of its original volume.

You could basically get the same result here with regular water and compressed air, I remember a children's science experiment where you can make a toy submarine dive and surface just by squeezing the bottle it's in... Foam gets a lot of its buoyancy from the air trapped in it, increasing the pressure around it and compressing the trapped air in it reduces it's buoyancy

Super cool idea, but I need to criticise some things: - you covered the thing with your hand at the beginning when releasing the pressure; - stop shaking it please; - the word you're looking for is "interface"; the meniscus is the bending or "climbing" of the liquid along the walls of the container.

The meniscus forms at the interface where the liquid contacts the container walls. If the adhesive forces between the liquid and the container are stronger than the cohesive forces within the liquid (as with water in glass), the meniscus is concave, curving upwards at the edges. Conversely, if the cohesive forces are stronger (as with mercury in glass), the meniscus is convex, curving downwards at the edges.

Perhaps some hollow gas filled glass spheres. I agree that it would be fun to watch. It was lazy to use the foam as it doesn't have a well defined density. Glass spheres would have different densities and we would expect some to go to the top and others to sink. Maybe he will try getting those spheres for a future video. Among other things he could go back and forth and watch the same balls sink or rise.

This whole video was full of amazing shots. The way the meniscus of almost supercritical CO2 moves is fascinating
42 seconds in, I would think whether it floats or sinks depends on its density. Most objects are more dense than supercritical CO2 so they would probably sink. But something of low enough density should float.

The problem is how to manufacture something that is solid, doesn't compress to much under pressure and is then less dense than 0,464 g/cm³? Cyclopentane or CO2 is used to produce styrofoam. You'll more need a foam, that contain Helium or Hydrogen. But Hydrogen might react when you try to press it into hot liquid Polystyrene to get a foam. And the very small Hydrogen molecules and especially Helium atoms will just be squeezed out of styrofoam when it is set under pressure.

Makes sense. things float in something because they have lower density than the surrounding medium. When something goes supercritical, the gas density increases, and the liquid density decreases. When their densities are the same, you are at the supercritical stage. This means that your boat was floating on something whose density was going down. As a consequence, its buoyancy was going down as well.

at 4:47 the foam reminded me of a lil tardigrade. Go Lil foamy tardigrade dude.
I believe there is an important factor that was ignored in the discussion of the experiment. Styrofoam will compress under pressure and thus become more dense which while it still floats will cause it to sink lower into the fluid. For the most part it it should remain compressed when returning to normal atmospheric pressure (some of the air having been squeezed out of it under pressure). By comparing it's volume before and after the experiment you should be able to explain the amount it sank just before the fluid went supercritical. You could probably ignore the weight of the volume of air squeezed out.
@caydennormanton9682
21 күн бұрын
Apparently (I'm no expert, mind you) one of the properties of a supercritical fluid is it's ability to diffuse into/through other substances (like a gas). So my conclusion was that the Styrofoam becomes impregnated with the supercritical CO2, and is thus more dense than the surrounding CO2 (Styrofoam density + supercritical CO2 density = more dense than supercritical CO2).
@mmmusa2576

Actually there is more going on here than just density changes. The styrofoam acts like a nucleation point and the opposite side of the chamber as a diffusion point. So particles are diffusing out everywhere but converging near the styrofoam pushing it against the wall kinda like convection

@@caydennormanton9682 The supercritical fluid behaves like a fluid and gas - it doesn't diffuse better than in it's gaseous state (except for any added diffusion due to extreme pressure). In rewatching the video he starts with a shot of the vessel with the dry ice packed in and then jumps to a view at 200 psi which already is 13-14 atmospheres so the shrinking - sinking is already well underway (in fact he says "the Styrofoam is very squished ...") and the bulk of it may already have happened. Had he left the ball intact instead of ripping it in half I may have been able to compare diameters at various pressures to see if the additional shrinkage was measurable.

Woooooaaa huge thanks to action lab. This finally inspires me to make my own freeze drying riggg. On the DL... the coolest part is the density vs buoyancy as miniscus sublimates (idk what that word means - sounds sort of right and cool). Anyway next just gotta do the upside down boat floating in a similar 2d planar view vessel (like ant container?). To show that in same container a boat can float right side up and upside down in the same exact fluid if a pressure bubble pushes one area of water to top of vessel and one to bottom. I believe it is surface tension of the water that creates a suction force to hold the boat. So would depend on the friction or Reynolds number of sorts of the boat hull vs the water pressure bubbles into the "sky".

Wow. What a interesting experiment. Thank you.
That was way cool seeing it go to different states! Also loved the retro at the end!
Thanks for yet another interesting vid!! this one really took the cake! I love getting to learn something new , Thank you that was actually cool to see as opposed to having to think in my head what this might look like lol glad you were keen to shake the explosive device! hahaha how many time could that vessel be filled and emptied before you wouldn't wanna shake it anymore?? or as long as the seals are good it would be fine? I get you were using it at half its potential.. man I wish I had of seen this in school!
This is like the best science demo i have ever seen. Didn’t know there was a state called super critical
This was really cool, the shape of the styrofoam reminded me of a tardigrade too 😂
Cool demo!
Cool demonstration!
