Color Mixing Wheel - Sick Science!

[legalizeshemp420]

Persistence of vision.

[MrWillywonka2012]

i love your science experiments

[fuckyourfaggotfuckin]

my conclusion: magnets

[thutama]

hmmm I'm pretty sure that red yellow and green would work better since we're not working with mixing physical colours, but the perception of light

"Adult Supervision"

Are you telling me kinder gardeners are in danger with using sissor while the teachers lay back?

[Overlander37]

AWESOMENESSS

[MultiSpoilers]

today is 25 january but ur video is uploaded in 26 januaryHOW!!!

[SteveSpanglerScience]

@MultiSpoilers January 26th, 2011 is when the video was uploaded:) Thanks for watching our videos.

[justforthiscause]

@SteveSpanglerScience but today is the 25th so it was not uploaded on 26th duhhhhhh

[MrCounterMaple]

@justforthiscause dude. did u read it? it was uploaded on January 26th, 2011. Not January 26th, 2012

[TalkativeTortoise]

@MultiSpoilers its 2012 now retard LOL!!!

[MultiSpoilers]

@TalkativeTortoise OY I forgot to see the year k chill

[DeniZg200]

@MultiSpoilers FAIL!

[SpongeDude8]

@MultiSpoilers maybe different time zone?!

[Undeadflayme]

@SpongeDude8 or mabey different year? -.-

[AssassinBunny107]

@MultiSpoilers

its called a date line

[wallpy22]

@MultiSpoilers with science :D



[abhirehal]

@MultiSpoilers because it was uploaded a year back 25 jan 2011 and it 2012 now.LOL

[xilowace]

@MultiSpoilers

this year is 2012 lol

[Ellemennt75]

@MultiSpoilers You're an idiot.

[GimpIsNuts]

@MultiSpoilers

Time Difference -.-'

[MrAsudem95]

@MultiSpoilers this kid has a brain tumor

[TazD3vilzz]

@MultiSpoilers HAHAHA

[triiiid]

Yup, I'll definetely need adult supervision for that one!

[Nocosix]

I wonder if using red, blue and green would work better than red, blue and yellow.

[TheDementedDemon]

@Nocosix Green doesn't mix with either red or blue, so it is rendered useless.

[hyperzillas]

I'll take ten.

[shaun1157]

y do u neeed aduld supervision

[theasianboy1234567]

@shaun1157 scissors

[xxtumppixx]

interisting videos ^^

[eric8676]

the words in red say science

[DJVM95]

Me Gusta.

[spacegirl13]

Awesome video..;))))

[LoccLoonyGleek]

BE MY SCIENCE TEACHER! YOU'RE SO AWESOME!

[chickenpoper]

This only because of how the human eye and camera's have to slow of a refresh rate, try a high-tech slow motion camera and slow it down and you can see the individual colors.

[flamingskull2516]

They mix duh

[Sickboiy27]

did you know if you pound a bear cap flat w/ a hammer and you make the same thing you just did . it make a fun little toy to cut random stuff. its like a mini saw

[bartikporada]

i use red,green,orange,blue,purpel,b­rown

[EDROXMISOX]

You're like another Bill Nye! Keep doing what you're doing, it's really stellar!

[gomezpiro]

Thats was nice , thanks !

[TheAlmostGod888]

Conclusion: God made it that way.

[Hawkshadow49]

@Stevespanglerscience I KNOW HOW YOU DO IT!!!!!!! ... You're a wizard, Steve Spangler. :D

[anotherelvis]

Supercool experiment. What happens if you use the colors be red, greed and blue? (For additive color mixing)

[Gangked4]

But you never know if he puts the safety glasses on! Yakno? cause you don't see it happening

[Kanonakiana671]

that guy doing all the stuff doesn't look like steve but he looks sexy lol

[whatisayworks]

I swear I use to play with that toy when I was little, back in 2002

[hangover71]

I couldn't get it to work right..

[pascalporsche09]

I'm from Germany and we're watching your Videos in our Chemie Lessons :D.

You're soo COOL!!!

[Themagicboys12]

Nice!!!

[Themagicboys12]

Nice!!!

[Arsenal2904]

@Stevespanglerscience Ur so sweet. I have told all my friends that ur so cool. Im from Malaysia.

[Stevespanglerscience]

@Arsenal2904 Thanks! That's awesome!

[Arsenal2904]

@Stevespanglerscience Ur so awsome. I have told all my friends that ur so cool. Im from Malaysia.

[JoycexSuJu]

can you do a christmas science? o.o please >w<

[Stevespanglerscience]

@JoycexSuJu Check out some of the recent Sick Science videos. They are holiday themed including how to make and awesome Borax snowflake.

[JoycexSuJu]

can you do a christmas science? o.o please >w<

[analiz12100]

this is cool thxs but wat is the hypothesis and y is this happening?

[VMCV1]

@analiz12100 The angular speed of the wheel increases, so the wavelength of the colors produced by the light changes rapidly also the persistence of vision is related with the phenomena.

[kendo4life1]

steve, you make the best video's i have ever seen.

keep on making them!

[stevanoviets]

Nice one, you can also make one with all the collours of the rainbow and if you spin it, you'll see a 'white' spinning wheel. Still cool :)

[MrPeppershakers]

hug for me too please o‿o

[Spidy15ty]

gd idea

[kushalmahidhar]

It is due to the persistent of vision.

[pdgeman]

The explanation is, the wheel is spinning faster then our eyes can update the image in our head, causing a blend. Am I right?

[Intel1502]

*hugs himself*

[hamedsroor]

can i have hug 2

[Stevespanglerscience]

@hamedsroor *hug*

[howlcall]

Does the reason the colors mix have to do with how our eyes see things? It's going so fast our eyes see it mixed together perhaps? This is very intriguing. :)

[OverlordGrundz]

@howlcall its called motion blurring, yes its moving too fast for us to see, so our eyes put all the colors together. or like when you look at a ceiling fan and its moving too fast to follow, so it looks like you can see right through it

[xSirDingo]

@howlcall It is like if you have small red and yellow dots really close together, your eyes will perceive it as orange. Basically the same thing; your eyes catch little pieces of each color and they become one.

[OxygenWalrus]

I use to make color mixing wheels, then I took an arrow in the knee.

[OverlordGrundz]

@OxygenWalrus wotezit?

[Roger5970]

Steve I WANT ONE D:

[mysummerismine]

this is sooo awesome!

[wicker558]

Hello Steve!!

[Zeldagirl123456]

woah.... that is seriously cool

[jayelit]

I am colorblind it doesnt work at all

[IWasBornStupid]

HI STEVE!!

Can I have an internet hug!?!

[Stevespanglerscience]

@IWasBornStupid Here it comes...hug!

[MonsterBuddy10]

@Stevespanglerscience Can I have an internet hug too?

[Stevespanglerscience]

@MonsterBuddy10 Ready for it...HUG :)

[MonsterBuddy10]

@Stevespanglerscience YAY

[itsmyard]

@Stevespanglerscience Where is my hug? :(

[Stevespanglerscience]

@itsmyard *hug*

[blva888]

@Stevespanglerscience I don't want one!

[RoyBlox8]

@Stevespanglerscience *hug*

[Narutofan1000k]

mine caught fire.....did i miss a step?

[TheItsawaffle]

What kind of black magic is this?

[macdadydoo]

hi love your experiments

[dragonsarepwnage]

how do you get to be so intelligent?

[mawhulk]

ISNT THAT COOL ??!

[ratimation]

to our brain, the hues combine, creating a new hue (violet, orange and green)



[PatelPwned]

and u can also create a third ring for blue + yellow to have all primary + secondary colors

[CalvinsStudios]

cool!

[judyreyjumamoy]

red+blue=violet

red+yellow=orange

blue+yellow=green

the fast change of color that our eyes cant perceive tells the brain to blend the colors creating an illusion of another/mixed color

[TheAmazingEuph]

I will actually use the comments for scientific purposes like it said in the video. In my hypothesis, the delay of light bouncing off of the colors on the wheel and to your eyes and your brain processing the color creates a long enough period for the other color to do the same and with both colors passing the same spot at a high rate, one color will stay in the air while the other comes in and it fuses and repeats with the second color staying and the first color fusing.

[coralista09]

opposite colors mix. that's my theory lol

[Bahijeh234]

OMG. Thats all I have to say.

[demonkiller009]

omg steve.. you always share stuff.. that i want to do.. wen i dont have money.. :(!

pss :(

be alone at home without anything to do its bored :(!

[alex540150]

Love this!! Any plans of coming back to the Ellen Show?

[mrazlan9876]

lol pokeball

[12StarFury]

I love your videos,Steve. I am also a big fan of Science

[12StarFury]

Hello there,Steve. I am a big fan of Science and I love your videos :3

[GamesNstuffs]

STEVE UR AWESOME!!!

[Stevespanglerscience]

@GamesNstuffs Ur Awesome Too!

[Hawkshadow49]

@Stevespanglerscience OOH! OOH! I KNOW HOW YOU DO IT!!!!!! You're a wizard, Steve. :D

[pawprintzrule22]

@GamesNstuffs i kow right you are the best science person EVER steve you are totally awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[iWinFail]

Why is it sick science

[59211bart]

@iWinFail sick meaning crazy, cool and insane

[2010splice]

that is so i want to try

[stupidbitcheverlive1]

Hi Steve ! Your shows and videos are very great ! You're videos interest me in science now ! Thanks buddy !

[ice92355]

Its one of those pioneer toys

[CatspitProductions]

That’s very cool. I have heard that scientists cannot explain the physics behind screen printing. It is said that we do not fully understand how the ink moves through the mesh the way it does to make such a clear, crisp print. And it’s repeatable. What are your thoughts on that? ☠

[minidrapes3713]

haha! your eyes arent quick enough to follow the colours so at some point your eyes see the blue and red being in the same spot, making the colors combine.

[catlin245]

because it looks like the collors conbin of the speed its going daaa i think lol haha im stupid

[fastmekillyou123]

This happens because the colors are moving with such speed they appear to be blending to the human eye. Is this correct?

[Carol14211]

I did this like in 4th grade!!It was awesome!!!Pull it out adds more speed pull it in less speed.

[gabygirlify]

Can you use other colors instead of the ones showed on the vid?

[Harryrawr]

@gabygirlify No

[blooperville12]

@gabygirlify these colours are the primary colours of science so I don't think so.

[TeletubyofDOOM]

@gabygirlify Replace yellow with red, red with blue and blue with green

[4ft6asian]

It doesnt work for me when i try and spin it. Wen i try to spin it to pull and push to mix the colors, it fucks around and when i push and pull.

[xyz098pwn]

@4ft6asian Just pull.

[joeyboy680]

Straight from the artist Fernand Leger! :D

[undergrounddeadmen]

i remember i love the feeling of pulling it and then you feel like your hands are being drawn into the thingy

[peacevuvanna]

IDID THIS IN THIRD GRADE OMG

@STEVE

[cartwright990]

Are eyes can't focus on the colors so we just see one color

[thewierdboy1000]

crap! i just cut myself with scissors

[Zeesarh]

Are you a wizard? D:

[divababy10127]

can it be any kind of string

[divababy10127]

does it have to be a certain string or any kind?

[SeeingWithOneEye]

When the colors travel so fast through your eye, the eye cannot distinguish each individual color. This results in the blending of colors as your eye recieves them. Red, blue, and yellow are still there, but your vision cannot tell them apart when there is too much information to travel accross the optic nerve at the speed that the wheel is actually moving.

[illuminatuzzz]

Budweiser lids work just as fine 

[hexpinteas]

Cool man! 8D

[Kawaiicupcake867]

Wow!

[FusionFallBestGamer]

COOOOL

[carlosfan45]

but will it blend?

[mehaurox2]

I tried this and it works I love it, it is sooooooooooooooooooo fun lol

[oomblikkies]

Now paint the wheel in the colors of the rainbow and it should appear white when turning.... I think if you paint the wheel only in the 3 primary colors, it should also turn white.

[MrPlowRS]

I am turning 18 years old. and I want one of these.

[cesthakiller4500]

freaken sick!



[modwebby]

i hate lagg

[littlestpetshop331]

awsome!!!!!

[VlogFardy]

Happy B-day!

[sophie52401]

im speachless

[RobotEars85]

Vision Lag lol

[hamedsroor]

how are you doing steve

[hamedsroor]

how r u doing steve

if its was you who uses this channel



[griffinrossjenkins]

hey Steve you are awesome

and so are your science experiments

[cookiecrumblez213]

Aww this is cool! I used to hate science but when I see your videos..its fun! :)

[catsarebomb]

AT 0:58 THE RED LETTERS SPELL OUT SCIENCE :O

[mezoboy210]

steve this is funn and easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[TheBinMasta]

it doesn't blend at 0:54

[thecrunck1]

my kids loved this

[TheXervion]

Hi Steve!

[Stevespanglerscience]

@TheXervion hello!

[mrsmilly12345]

@Stevespanglerscience good bye!

[xXDeathsCurfewXx]

If you viewed this in slow motion, would the colors still blend?

[hds64]

omg. his hands and arms are beautiful! <3 

[TheNunu560]

its like mixing paint :P

[thegaga2u]

wow

[unclegrumpy86]

When i was a child we use to do that with thread and a button...........no colors



[16harikrish]

jus amazing steve...:)

[anhthivu15]

Wow!That guy has a different color shirt every time I watch

[imaginarycupcake123]

lol i like the term "vision lag" now:D



[America21345]

oohh thats what they tried to get me to do in 1st grade

[HatoradeDrunky06]

The human eye can see up to 60 frames per second, but blur begins past 30 frames per second. Our brain thus can not register the single colors in a disc spinning faster than 900 RPM (Half the disc is colored so we only need to see half of a revolution to see a mix in color). Would be interesting to see this with RGB LEDs rather than marker.

[aron1980s]

this is awesome

[TheKingHammy1]

@BrainiacWorkshop Whoa!!

[DeadMan11100]

I made this a week ago

[magicnintendo64]

i made this in 5th grade

[IDemonicbiowave]

Gotta catch em all

[BrainiacWorkshop]

The human eye can only see so many frames per second, and there is a slight delay in the transfer of information from the eye to the brain. When an object in motion exceeds the maximum frames a human eye can see individually, the object blends as the delay due to the interpretation of what we see to our mind. In this case, the colors were spinning faster than the time it takes for us to see the individual color and to interpret it. Thus, the colors seemed to blend.

[JackieKnockKnock1]

When you mix primary colors at different distances you get a new color.
