Flying Tea Rocket - Sick Science!

[magentaLPStarz]

a string tied to it?......:/

[0909rayman]

i have seen the commercial version of this except called flying wish paper

[TheHighFlyer132]

or u could go on vat19 and buy the magical flying wish paper

[scubaxstev07]

how to light a paper on fire.. SO COOL!!!!

[Junijess]

hehehehehe

[jjclassjj]

great vid you have here

[RukiahTaicho]

Cool. But it was a little waste of the tea...

[Klaudiusiaxx]

ih done tis straight away :D

[williampower108]

Woah... a different song 0.0

[durdyll]

the tea bag doesnt rise the heat does right?

[whenthesungoesdown03]

@durdyll the heat inside the tube causes it to rise so yes

[trung020356]

I like the music... :D

[ThePrinthead]

It’s best to think ahead from as early as possible when preparing these tactics of course– it can be a real nightmare to pick apart a model and add support structures or cut it apart.

[cweida111]

its like vat 19's flying magic wish paper! In their vid they called it "freaking magic"

[footygoodness]

tried it, didnt work

[lauren5623]

heat rises

[Kawaiicupcake867]

the music suits it! :)

[cpmvmaker1]

ok you real want somthing flying in the air on fire>.<

[shadowstalker9476]

i actually tried this at my friend's house and he was like "dude, why did you just burn tha- oh god that is awesome"

[imlowkeywolverine4]

like if you did this the same day!

[xeyeyannuhx]

0:40 RIP teabag, you will be missed.

[kennyb0y1597]

Mine doesnt work is it too small??? Cuz the ones I had was bout 1"

[binkyt11]

That's cool like homemade wishing paper

[xleahxable]

I DID THIS AT NATURES CLASSROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AtDeathsDoor98]

My mom no longer has tea. 0_0

[megashazlina]

hey i don't understand why u need 2 tea bags since you'r oni using 1 !! anyway i saw your experiment on ellen..it rockz !!

[YunqHunniie0654]

WHOA!!! I JUST SAW A SHILOUETTE OF A BODY FLASH ON MY SCREEN. THIS THING IS HAUNTED!!

[mattjonesable]

science class sucks i hate it.can you be my science teacher

[niga6000]

my house burned down

[starwars681]

showed this to my little brother and he thought i was using the force.

[karumentic]

OMG, doing magic is not a dream @@

[AtDeathsDoor98]

Erm who the hell comes up with this stuff?

[p154831]

not that cool.. i was burning my history quiz outside once since i got an F along with a bunch of other papers and the ashes flew up into my face and almost burned my eye out

[HariPuttar1]

How come you don't talk during ur vids?

[BrainiacWorkshop]

Heat decrease the density of a object, thus when a object is smothered in fire, the heat decreases the density, allowing it to float.

[awesaomeness5]

Sorry guys I learned this at school, its called convection current and is the same thing when hotdrinks are just about colder at the bottom

[Reesesjake]

I just noticed it spelled science with the colored letters at the leave a comment part! :)

[reidn010]

As the the bag is being burnt it is constantly changeing weight (getting lighter and lighter) because of the fact that heat rises the tea bags gets to a certain weight which the force of heat can over power causing the left- over tea bag to rise fromn the plate =D

[zomy1991]

The flame created by burning the teabag heated the air inside the teabag cylinder. When the air was heated energy was transferred to individual pieces of air called air molecules. The air molecules moved around more quickly and spread out to take up more space. This means that the air molecules were further apart from each other and therefore the air was less dense. The warmer, less dense air rose above the cooler, denser air.

[melissa306011]

Kool now I don't half to buy those stupid ( flying wish papers ) thanks you saved me $7.99!

[brandenandalana]

Hot air pushes down = thrust

[penguingirl88888888]

AWESOME SWEEEEEEEEEET I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE SCIENCE

[kikidolphin599]

That's cool

[navets]

Sad that video-responses are turned off for this video :( My daughter and I filmed a response tonight! watch?v=pYJHRm-uPK4

[robsessed4ever]

My science teacher did this, this year but with tissue paper!!! haha one of the other teachers set his desk on fire purposely! haha 8th grade science is fun!!!

[unreasonablebannana]

the thermal energy from the flame was able to propel the ash into the air when it was light enough.

[hardnotlife93]

alians!!!!!

[FireRagnarok]

It's like magnets. You can't explain it.

[stackman1525]

@FireRagnarok Unfortunately, I can explain magnets...

[AwesomeMrCheese]

I don't live in colarado and im pretty sure Steve only appears on the 4 o clock news on mondays. Where can i watch the live news if i live in oregon? I have direct TV and i would like to know so i can watch and just please reply about what channel (oregon) and what time (oregon) PLEASE HELP I WANNA WATCH!

[Xzeno98]

hot air or heat brings the burned piece (which is lighter) before the burned piece was stucked to the heavy pieceand not flying

...i'm not english or american ,i'm italian... i'm speak not well your language .... baeutiful video

[vladthetransilvanian]

seriously, i subscribed just because of that fun-science tv show, not to see easy to explain vids that i saw already, put some better vids or you'll lose a subscriber

[Stevespanglerscience]

@vladthetransilvanian check out our other channel

YouTube . com/SpanglerScienceTV

That will have all of Steve's appearances on TV including the news show.

[alexpositivecharge]

@vladthetransilvanian two subscribers! (with me)

[FissionTV]

@vladthetransilvanian loose the tude dude

[jimihendrixtribute]

When it burns down to a certain point, the contrast in temperature from the air around you and the flame creates a small wind that pushes the ashes upwards, thus creating a rocket.

[ihave7cats]

i found this funny XD

[snoozeproductionsNAP]

convection currents

[luigishotu]

whats with the crap music?

[hardnotlife93]

@luigishotu I think it's kind of catchy =)

[daiwilley]

Cold air sinks and pushes the less dense ashes up with a buoyant force.

[MyLegoVideos]

beast mode

'

[ScarlettTheKitteh]

when the flame reaches the bottom the teabag gets light and is too light for the air so it starts floating and when its into ashes it floats down again because of the holes in it

[footballguy146]

tea bag rocket

[illicitdolphin]

He blew it!!!

[MsWanderer1]

LLLLLL AAAAAA MMMMMM EEEEEEE

[sora578]

the most reasonable answer is he use hax

[podinfrance]

We used to do this with the paper that Ameretti cookies came wrapped in, but alas, like the ditto paper, they got rid of that as well, probably was toxic, or not owned by Monsanto, like the rest of our world!! It would burn up and then float into the sky, magic indeed!

[TheComment01]

:o, new back ground color, + new music.

i don't like it.

[brenthoser99]

thermal dynamics, the carbon thats left over is just swept up in the natural occurring air currents. Nothing special about this.

[Tab54o]

I dont know if id call it a flying tea rocket lol.

[12masterofwaesome29]

Tried it it's was cool and Steve good job on the Ellen show

[jacks5jl]

Didn't work for me

[Promods95]

@thenoobv3 i totaly agree

[Gabbos]

Why didn't you film the ashes flight? Also, why did you film black ash with a black background? lol

[Stevespanglerscience]

@Gabbos because filming a flame on white is much more difficult!

[kltcb]

@Gabbos why do some people still say "filming" when the modern day video recorders dont use film?

[nhvfx]

@kltcb because it's tradition to say filming

[jobronoyoall1]

at 0:44 the blue letters make up science! Like if you noticed that!

[12ViperPilot]

why does everyone think this is "magick"? everytime i burn the trash and it has paper in it it does this, bi whoop

[hassoun6]

Why don't you just cut the paper in half so that you can do the trick twice

[gunsandyoga]

I did this as a classroom demo and kept my fingers crossed that kids wouldn't do this after school before the parents came home!

[DustinAndrewVideos]

Heat rises.

[caohorse]

the paper tuns lighter than the air????

[LookBehindYou999]

I think you already did this one.

[wallaguest1]

just tryed it, didn't workk for me,

[Sagecage100]

I know how to explain how it works in 1 word: Magnets

[abramokids]

@Sagecage100 Magnets? How do THEY work?

[maribakumon]

i tryed this befor this video was made and it didnt work, and it was winter so the heat from the flame should of caused an even bigger difference in air pressure

[wallaguest1]

nice!!!!

[thenoobv3]

i like your old background music better

[Tab54o]

@thenoobv3 Me too.

[gordomperdomper]

My teacher showed me years ago

[albrestevez]

its because A+B+C = D

[Griz899]

My father and his bortherswere used to do this in the bathroom with toilet paper.

[turbotonic27]

oooooldddddd......

[MrDoohickey95]

Magic *snort snort*

[Semtexxxxx]

How do magnets work?

[danielcarmi305]

The heated air rises, and the burned bag is so light that it basically rides the air. Like a hot air balloon.

[docsharp00]

the flam creat an air flow like a termic, and when the tea bag is light enought (all burnt) the air flow make it flying.

[mayaDUDE998]

thats cool,I should do that with my dad sometime,he likes little things like that ^-^

[MichaelJackson787]

only one explanation....

Magick!

[NickBlackDIN]

@MichaelJackson787 lies! it's not magic, it's magnets!

[fear2me]

@MichaelJackson787 lose the k

[CrescentEndeavor]

@MichaelJackson787 More like Magikarp ; )

[MichaelJackson787]

only one explanation....

Magick

[MythOfEchelon]

Heat rises, and if the material it is attached to is light enough, it rises with it.

[tfbekkProductions]

In Norway we call it swedish rocket (because we think they are stupid)(It's like Britain and France)

And you don't really need the plate because the teabag lifts off before it touches the table (tried it myself)

[JimmyWOWOlsson]

@tfbekkProductions Actually its sweden that makes fun of norweigans, you should be lucky we accepted you as your own country.

[hanzithaking]

burning the paper makes the bag or ashes light enough to get lifted by the heat from the flame beneath it.

[Arvak777]

@hanzithaking yeah, looks like it turns into a miniature sky lantern....but it burns up so it falls back down. :(

[Skyrodude]

lol

[MathiasKippen]

@rbandgh3 And so what? ...

[AkumaNoRobin]

O_o! Wow xD so cool! gonna try that

[whothehellisthat]

ooh... pretty weird.

I guess the paper gets light enough to be lifted by the heat near the end?

[jambozx]

rocket? i wouldnt say so :D

[julko6070]

YEA :D
