Read as "There is no escape, only drugs." Immediately made me think of my early 20's.
One option for this sort of thing is to get a full CT scan of the device (there are industrial CT scanning companies that do this). You can export the geometry as an STL and print it directly out of a clear material. Some SLA resins have very good optical properties and might work for your purpose here without having to reduce the geometry to 2D. I do think the 2D versions do help to make it easier to understand the concepts sometimes though.

Unusually though, both eyes have full function and while they can work together even whilst wandering (ex, I can watch the road and the rearview simultaneously), it's a conscious thing. And since using a smartphone, it makes typing accurately very difficult; the responsive bit for H, for instance, isn't quite where my finger thinks it is, so I get a lot of Js instead.

@@RICDirector I've never really been sure if my effective depth perception and peripheral vision (enough to pass transient tests) are because I have partial correction from wearing a patch on my good eye for hours each day as a kid, or just a quirk of my particular amlbyopia. It does give me a good idea of which image in double-vision to treat as the "false" image, as the one from my bad eye is far more transparent, and gradually disappears if I keep my gaze fixed. I do still sometimes have to "cheat" on [DMV] vision chart tests if I don't have a valid opt*ist note on hand, but my peripheral vision and depth perception are relatively good for someone with 20/100 vision on one eye, when that eye also tends to fade to black in a strictly-static gaze over 15-30 seconds. ;D ...

If you want to see more of that use, I'd highly recommend searching for cross-eye stereograms. There are even paintings that reveal an image only when cross-eyed! If you can "de-focus" your eyes so they're parallel (sometimes called a thousand-yard stare), there are also stereograms for that. VR headsets do something similar too. The lenses redirect light so that you can view parallel-eye stereograms without de-focusing your eyes, and the screen displays a constantly-updating parallel-eye stereogram!

I am nearsighted so if I take my glasses off and de-focus my eyes I still see close things crystal clear (because my eye can't focus to distant things so it just gives up on it and stays in close focus). This way the image is so much bigger and much eaiser to focus. If I put my glasses on I can't do this since I become able to focus to the distance and the 3D picture becomes all blury. In the same way if I do it cross eyed without glasses for some reason I can't focus my eyes but glasses on cross eyeing it, it works perfectly.

Actually it’s been used extensively in the past. There are artworks that have elements that can only be viewed stereoscopically and is the basis behind all of those magic eye gimmicks that was popular in the 80s and 90s. Additionally novelty devices called stereoscopes have been around since the late 1800s. They worked by having two photographs of the same image shot from slightly different angles placed inside and the user would then look through the viewfinder and see a 3D image.

Oh, where is that sold? I would love to have a howling wolf jug and support an artist
2:15 OMG, that was the first time I was able to see a stereogram! I could never see the magic eye things, and I tried for so, so long. It only took me about 15 or 20 seconds here and I was able to see this in 3d. It was so freaking awesome.

Lol, I had a similar story but the other way around. I remember watching these "fake 3D effect" videos and images that can trick your brain into thinking it's looking at a 3D image, by just crossing your eyes and focusing both images with each eye at the same time. But I didn't know it was called "stereogram". Also, to me I found quite difficult to recreate this stereogram, as the image was spinning around, and when it got to the back part of the whistle, my eyes just moved with it and lost the focus to the 3D image. I don't know if I explained myself correctly. English isn't my first language.
Thanks mate, your video was extremely accurate, was able to 3d print my own version with your information :D
I love the channel! I’m always curious about how things work.
Wow, that stereogram blew my mind! Keep up the great work man, love your videos!

Same, I was not ready for that
I'm obsessed about this type of mechanisms because this channel
I thought I was literally the only one who could go crosseyed and match images like that. I do it all the time with recurring patterns like bathroom tile, curtains. I never thought about using it to simulate something in 3D like that though, that was really cool.
Here's a fun illusion: from 2:05 a for a while after, which way is the pot turning? left or right? Some people can even "decide" a direction and it'll look like the pot is turning the direction.

I saw an exhibit at the Science Museum in London that demonstrated this with a rotating cube. They tell you to close your eyes and look again a few times. Each time you look at it your brain chooses a direction to interpret it as moving. It is because of the ambiguity between which lines are in front and behind.
I love how this has become the "transparent replica" channel. It's great and it cracks me up every time you do it.

If only Steve would start embracing the third dimension. An entire video of why a flat model didn't work, but no thought on making a wider one lol
what an amazing craftsmanship
you know it says alot about how you break down a subject that i can still follow along just fine having been awake for four days. always found it frustrating when someone would profess themselves to be teaching something or explaining something and you never actually get the answers to the how because it often gets left in a very stock way of explaining something without every bothering to break down each functional variable. great work
Me: goes into stereogram vision Steve: goes back to regular video without warning Me: 😵
"i dont want to break it" *proceeds to cut it in half
Wow! Awesome Stuff! I am thoroughly enjoyin you latest vids on fluids, reminds me of the one you did on resonance...
That was the best stereogram I've ever been able to see. I'M AMAZED!
My man just dropped the stereogram on us, like it was nothing. Blew my mind, it would be worth a video on its own!
Ooh they sound so nice. Could have been interesting to talk to someone who makes them but great video!
Always wondered about these and knew you’d get to them eventually thank you
I have to say,these whistles must have high tech behind them originally, but enough of the knowledge survived through the passing down of the art for generations.I think those are so beautiful .
3:53 makes me wonder what a 4D whistle might be like. What would its properties even be? How might fluids flow in a 4D structure? Would it be possible to simulate the sounds it produces, and would those sounds even be the same in different 3D slices of 4D space?
i've never seen a magic eye as a video! so cool how helpful that is to really understand the 3d model
I loved the stereoscopic view! It was amazing! Never have seen someone do it with video.
At this point Steve has developed an obsession for transparent 2D versions of weird vessels.

That's just him developing his own brand/image
Honestly, he should have asked the person who makes these to make a half of one instead of breaking it. It saddens me that someone's handiwork was destroyed.
Excellent video. I have been fascinated by these vessels for over 25 years (I am a musician and flutemaker). The restriction of airflow by the small relative area of the vent hole as compared to the volume of the water attempting to traverse between the chambers creates a backpressure situation which, as you correctly surmised, is not present in the 2D model. The backpressure helps to both regulate and accentuate the gluggle effect. Cheers.
I am from Perú, so to see a representation of my country in your channel really makes my day
Ok Steve you can tell us the truth. You're changing the name of the channel to: The amazing world of whistles with Steve Mould

Holy crap, that stereogram thing TRIPPED ME OUT! I didn't know what to expect: I was moving my phone back and forth, in and out, in front of my face like madman when suddenly the 3d image just snapped into existence like a SHOCK, my phone disappeared and I was in a weird 3D VR brain mode. I mean, I think it was only shocking because I didn't know what to expect, but that was trippy!
Lol I’m Peruvian and honestly didn’t know about these, gonna be on the lookout for a couple of them to bring home next time I visit a handcrafts market.
Outstanding, beyond interesting. I can imagine them being used in old wise story telling to the younger generation back then.👍❤️
2:21 Kinda hard to do the whole "3d trick" when I've only got one eye. Note: The previous sentence is an example of self-deprecating sarcasm. It was not and is not in any way, shape, or form intended to insult or otherwise verbally assault the creator of this video. Note 2: For anyone that's curious, I lost my left eye to meningitis when I was 5 months old. I didn't lose it to some wacko with a gun, or had it gouged out by a shard of glass in a car accident. Just plain old surgery to save a little baby's life, nothing special.
Pretty soon I’m going to have to dedicate a whole shelf of my bookcase to the Steve Mould - cool whistle museum. Thanks for another awesome explainer Steve! PS: love to see the pebble still on your wrist

Besides buying one for myself, Steve inspired me to buy the man/woman Peruvian whistle as a gift for a newlywed couple. The whistle even comes with a romantic story. The man is lost and cries out (first whistle sound) for his wife. She respond, 'I'm here. Follow my voice" (second whistle). Then, you can make them both sing together. The couple and everyone else found the whistle delightful and romantic. So, Thanks, Steve!
