The actual pressure section of the video is so dramatic, feels like something from a movie or something lol. Like watching the glowsticks start to break as a sub is leaking water under the ocean.

definitely one of the better science channels to come out this year

Dropping glow in the darks into an ocean trench sounds like a better plan than using your car.

100% agree, watching this has 100x more entertainment than watching a car sink and maybe some glass breaking!

As soon as i saw the glowsticks I knew this would be good

Really entertaining and what's even better is that you usually learn something in the process. Apart from that, after all the interesting things that have already been in the chamber (polystyrene cups, eggs, glow sticks etc.) I would be interested to see how a piece of normal wood behaves. So a lightwood type like balsa, a softwood type like pine or fir and a hardwood type like beech or oak.

It would be good to add painted wood (or even wood in a vacuum bag) so that we can see how it holds up structurally, without the water getting in and limiting the compression.

@@JMMC1005 That's a good idea.

I love how the ampule cracking gets more and more violent the higher the pressure. I was secretly hoping to see them start splitting open and spraying everywhere. But I knew it was doubtful because of their construction. Those things are next to indestructible to everything except slicing/piercing.

Probably variance in manufacturing of the glass tubes inside.

I am reminded of one of the closing scenes in "The Aybss" where the main character has to activate a giant glow stick. I think he was at that point over 15,000 or maybe even 20,000ft using a liquid breathing suit but I could see a oil company being able to afford specialized emergency glow sticks that can survive at those depths and not go off prematurely.

The midnight rave got me good. Regarding the fun fact, im not sure what triology you are talking about but if you meant the first with the jung Luke and not the green milk drinking one: They used highly reflective screens and wrapped it around tubes, then shined the bright studio lights on them. Practical special effects. So much ingenuity.

Each video is better than the last. Keep up the awesome work.

First time viewer. Nice one 👍🇦🇺 Was expecting you to be in a boat with miles of fishing line !!!

Another fun Star Wars fact… Any light emitting device , like glowsticks (military “chemlites”) is referred to as a “LUMA” in most of the books. Tablets are “Datapads.” I often throw people with the terminology, and it gets to be quite fun!

Great channel concept keep it going!

Another fantastic video experiment!

I do love your videos mate. ;)

Great, now I want to take a boat across the ocean while throwing glow sticks overboard to mess with deep sea creatures.

Way more exciting than expected. Great video.

So if I was dropped into an ocean abyss to deactivate a nuclear warhead, a glow stick would be able to provide a light source.

This was fun and new for me, very interesting chemist lesson too. They manage much longer then that I thought.

5:51 Your fun fact about original Star Wars trilogy and glow sticks is incorrect, they used reflective tape on a spinning rod that’s powered by a motor inside the hilt, the stage lights behind the camera shone its light and the camera picks up the reflectiveness, its also why the lightsaber flickers during the obi wan kenobi fight with Vader on the Death Star From a massive Star Wars fan

@TheDropzoneChannel

They used a rotating pole with reflective tape for most of the shots. For the close up shots with the light bouncing off the faces they used glowing rods.

I know a guy who knows a guy who used glow sticks (“chem lights”) in their mouths to crawl through the intricate tunnel systems during the Vietnam war. Hands had to be free so the on/off switch was opening/closing one’s mouth

Now, I want to see a lightsaber fight underwater.

Great channe, keep up the great work.

@0:18 - Wait, aren't you the guy that introduced me to oil filled watches and brilliantly demonstrated that with a pressure chamber. The video where the clicking and cracking of the watch tripped me our so much?? Dude, you have managed to capture my watch time when I have no specific interest in your content. That must be something pretty rare in YT terms. I may even look in to subscribing after I finish this video.

Divers use chem lights all the time to increase their visibility to other divers, and cave divers often use them to mark paths and exits

im more amazed at your rig then the glowticks ...thats a level of psi i never knew we could test things at

I used to use these while longline fishing. We were only in about 400 fathoms at the deepest. (2400 feet) This is most interesting. So, I take “unsnapped” glowsticks, tie a bunch of them to a rock or some weight, and toss them into the ocean where it’s better than 3000 feet deep, and I get to entertain sea creatures down there…. Cool!

That was pretty cool. I didn't think anything would happen.

Actually, you guys are asking them. I'm just finding out the answers.

Inflation is going up, surprisingly, the only direction it can go.

When Duel of the Fates started playing I was like mmmmmmmmmmmmmmh

Glow sticks played a crucial role in the deep dive movie, Cameron's "The Abyss". A diver had to disarm an nuclear weapon at depth--but his yellow-greenish lightstick made it impossible to distinguish the color of the wire he needed to cut! That entire movie hinged on the failure of technologies operating outside their design limits. First three that come to mind: Failure of the hoist cable to detach under stress; seal failure in a submersible (provoking the immortal line, "All I need is a damn Crescent wrench!"); and the mentioned color-coding under emergency lighting. Humans also fail under stress--but a few come through.

lol the intro is giving submersible subliminal something 😜

Maybe the little glass vials used in fire suppression sprinkler heads? They explode outward when reaching certain temperatures.

…and used for practical jokes. I was an Aircraft Weapons Mechanic in the USAF. If it had anything to do with the weapons systems on the aircraft, I did it. During a war game exercise, while wearing full MOP level chem gear (including mask, booties, and gloves) at about 0200 hrs. One of the conditions was simulate blackout conditions. No lights. No flashlight or headlights on vehicles. Duct tape the lights. So for safety purposes we would hang these green glow stick on us. But they have an issue a few hours later. They begin to leak. One of the weapons I got to load was a B-61 bomb. Not an inert bomb. The real deal. We always used the real weapons for these war games. Its about 0300, war games over. Time to download the aircraft, and put the weapons to bed. Using an M-J1 weapons load truck, my crew takes the weapon off the aircraft. Watching us closely from outside the “no lone zone” is a security police. Now, this guy is nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. And I can tell. So I decide to have a little fun at his expense. My green glow stick has been leaking pretty good. Good enough I have a big glowing spot on my chest, my hands, and all over the weapon we are transporting to the weapons trailer. Me, the weapon, and the lift truck are dripping green goo. I look at the SP, and say, “My bomb is leaking”. The guy almost fainted. He went ghost white. He fumbled with the mic to his radio trying to call someone. I yelled, “whoa whoa! I’m kidding. Its just a leaking glowstick, see?” And I held it up for inspection. He said, “oh, I figured that after 2 seconds. But I got to call in for relief, I soiled my pants”😢

First thing I thought about was the inconsistency in manufacture if the same brand of stick activated at different depths. Wouldn't matter on the surface but if they had been manufactured to only implode at a specific depth, that would be interesting.

@5:23 - Bro went totally limp in the Twilight Zone. LMAO!

lol that rave would be insane, water carries sound better than air, so the whole place would be as loud as the front row 🎉🔊☠️

Don't know how I got here, but glad I stayed!

I’m surprised there was such a wide range in pressure that they activated.

Awesome

That was kinda cool!

Completely impractical but imagine having the entire chamber filled (only 1 layer from the cameras point of view) and them see if the shock of 1 going off sets off a chain reaction for all the rest. Potentially just wrapping a laying around the outside and have say a 3d printed disc or something front and back so its as rigidly connected as possible

Very cool experiment

I would love to see a video about the chamber itself. How its presurized, how you get audio, the thickness of the walls/glass, and so on.

Now try in a vacuum

Inflation doesn't "go up". Prices do.

I wondered where you been. Turns out KZread cancelled my subscription. This video was cool.

5:50 not sure which trilogy you are referring to, but the original trilogy didn't use glow sticks, the used poles with reflective tape arranged in a two or three sided configuration and spun the pole with a motor to get the lightsaber effects.

Ok that was pretty cool.

Great and interesting:-) Maybe you can simulate something even deeper by pressurizing the item before putting in the tank? If possible, add 100 bar to something.

OceanGate should have been built with Glow sticks!!!

There's something uniquely appalling and horrifying about considering the depth of the ocean and seeing depth values like 3000, 4000, 4400 meters. That's so staggerinly much water. It's a kind of depth I can't even begin to process. 2¾ MILES, for my fellow Americans who don't want to check the numbers themselves. I live in a small town in Upstate New York nearby to a lake that's just under 300 feet deep (it's not even 90 meters deep) and I can't swim in that lake except for right on the shore. As soon as I can't touch the bottom I start to panic a little lol. Less than 90 meters with no unknown lifeforms to speak of, and it horrifies me. 4400 m is a depth I can't fathom (no pun intended lol.)

Where did you get the idea of the light sabers being glowsticks? In the OT they were spinning wooden dowels with reflective tape on them that produced a glowing effect on camera. In the PT they were basically the same thing using different sturdier materials. In the ST abominations they were made with reinforced electrically lighted rods to have the sabers cast light onto the wielders.

Why are the chemical drawings so cooll looking ;)
