Water bubble in Space (zero gravity)

[GeRzAwN]

Amazing video. It's incredible how the man explains it.

[iboatswebsite]

Interesting video... I am fascinated with water. There is a great website about the medicinal uses effects of water and the importance of staying hydrated. Also the studies on how words can create different shapes within water when it is frozen, etc.

[thesupremevidwatcher]

Reminds me of the game Osmos on the Iphone.

[hayden120ful]

pause at 2:35.....

[jacqueline820]

Is a really good video but i dont understand how did u make the water into a object form?especially the last test where u inject the tablet into the water how does it stay like that? Is it because the way you film it ? Or u added some sort of liquid to make it like it?

[jmitterii2]

Are there any experiments with little fish like gold fish in space? I'd like to watch it if so!!

[AdventuresOfMrQuest]

BUBBLE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Prymer55]

anyone else get an "american pie" sense from the way he talks?

"and this one time... at space camp"

[Carrahar117]

love how the first to he was using science terms then the last one. " the bubbles eat other bubbles in a bubble war"

[physikl]

Yo dawg, I heard you like bubbles, so I put some water bubbles in your air bubbles in your water bubbles, so you can watch water bubbles in air bubbles in water bubbles.

[N7Crazy]

That is fuckn weird!

[TigerMeet2142]

how would it be to have a water bubble of earth size, im getting breathe problems thinking about falling into it Lol

[DiamanetNodames]

Maybe we're living in a huge water bubble. Yeah... that's it...

[TACT1CsMAN]

" I'm a Bubble engineer specialist. Hi ! " LMAO

[luminositymusic]

That's on STS? # space ship. Nice bubbles.

[illuminatioracle]

narrated by the offspring of mort goldman and napoleon dynamite

[Maritzajeans]

jajajaj thats so freaken cool i tottally want to do that huuuuuuuu

[rosen00000]

i wanna go in space

[sven2evil]

MYU BALLS ARE WEIGHLESS

[itsabomberscope]

2:33 homer simpson!

[hiroshir]

I couldn't stop thinking of "7-up" throughout that effervescent part.

[AND38ND]

mind=blown

[jpsalsman]

What happens when you mix oil and water in space?

[ekangaroo321]

the narrator sounds like he's related to napoleon dynamite :)

[nursechocolate]

dominating bubble!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deathservent1]

this is annoying? because its like everything has a question mark at the end of it?

[elvarbuk]

lol try eating the water:P:P

[valkyrie9002]

@wrathlog

Its a good thing we're not all stupid and not inquisitive like you

[2studders4]

Is he a part of the Sped Kids In Space program?

[gleep1998]

this is fuckin stupid

[Shrantic]

@gleep1998 You are a terrible person.

[gleep1998]

@Shrantic now i'm not this is just stupid

[Shrantic]

@gleep1998 Hey.

Fuck you.

[HailPretender]

@Shrantic Fa sho

[minimomaximo]

Amazing!

[Vladflame]

after a while the antacid is placed in the water sphere it looks like spit lol

[DogsAreCoolRight]

i kind of want to drink that sphere

[yannis5]

too clever!!

[andrewderasfriend]

alka seltzer! LOL

[RICHMANELITESTUDIOS]

Hey Is this JIM GAFFIGAN, "Bacon" anyways cool video, you should try it with common products to see whats the deadliest when mixed or put in a water bubble. or blood cells would be cool to see if they were alive.

[theemceemurdah]

That is just too cool! lol I love it

[alexroll2]

2:34 Alien =P

[wOrStLeSs]

look at 2:33 looks like a skull XD

in the end it looks like Earth's moon!

[nicole9030]

That is really cool!

[Biscuits87]

Why does a mass transfer occur? Why don't they just keep bouncing off each other?

[learn2die101]

surface tension and air resistance.

[midbsaj]

Could you elaborate?

[learn2die101]

Sure, imagine an elastic, the surface tension is basically an elastic between the polar molecules, they get further and closer together until they are finally at rest, the air resistance is minimal, but the pressure would help stop motion a lot more than you'd expect with no force of gravity.

[jacob3389]

are they filmin with a fuckin webcam?

[tenor529]

This is soooo cool!!!

[PrinnyMack]

im thirsty now D:

[TSDFurReal]

So if they were to blow a soap bubble, would it be permanent, since the soap would stay equally distributed through the surface of the sphere?

[1122zakpoo]

teh shud of brought a gold fish 2

[marceloguiliano]

cool stuff very intresting....now i cant help but think...imagine some big tits in space!! :P

[idiotr6]

Yay someone should do an experament >.>....

[xevious2501]

I need one of those for my car!

[MJMVideo2008]

This is an amazing example of how the gas giants were formed. If you could add solids it would demonstrate how the inner solar system planets were formed.

Great Job

[KonigsTigger1]

Would something like an insect be able to survive off of the air in the sphere if put into an air vacuum?

[yurihuski]

... don't tell me they filmed it in space.......

[Theldras]

yes they did, it's on the International space station. it's mentioned at the start of the video. and it was made for the saturday morning science program during Dr. Donald Pettits nerly six month flight from november 2002 until may 2003.

[Retsknarp]

"This experiment alone was worth the entire cost of the space program. "

can someone tell me why this is said in the description

[Nanerbrasil]

I believe the guy who posted this video is an astronaut.

[Hless421]

thats just too cool buble wars hehe

[silverandteal]

excellent narration of the various physical transformations undergone by water under these circumstances... this was very interesting.

thank you for uploading.

[salmiakbal]

2.35 ALIEN FACE

[walrusLt]

Hahahaha :D

[ludwigvonsteampole1]

What happens to the water after the experiments ie is it collected and stored?

[spartan5397]

lol bubble war

[j0danner]

Wow. If only we had enough money to go up in space and slurp that bubble of water. MMM. :)

[j0danner]

Hi Miss. Anderson's class! :)

[elsosome]

That was pretty bad ass.

The ultimate question:

what would that look like if you where using a super fluid (zero viscosity).

[DooMMasteR]

hmmm...ok

but 350km over earth in a stable orbit is enough zero gravity is enough for me :)

[MeX2004]

Correction! Zero gravity what you are referring to is actually zero gravity effect. True zero gravity needs little bit more work.

[DooMMasteR]

the frictipn between the water molecules would stop the waves (very slow indeed)

the system would heat up and had to be externaly cooled again

[zimtower]

I wonder what would happen if they did the wave experiment inside a vacuum in zero-g. It would keep going because of no energy transfer in a vacuum, right?

[Arnkellj]

i think the water would dissolve in a vacuum.

well ripped apart into tiny stuff atleast.

[detibry]

there's still viscous dampening and energy lost through black body radiation due to molecular vibration, translation, and rotation

[Trahira517]

2:34 there's a face in the bubble

[MuffinMojo]

haha i love how it goes from like technical science speak to 'bubble war' in like 2 seconds i love it when ppl have a sense of humour.

[ferretfrenzy05]

anyone who says this is a "secret facility"...you are retarded. its called 0 G's and nowhere on earth can you get that unless you go on the airbus 0g flight, which still isn't a perfect 0 g's. they are in space from one of the Columbia launches doing experiments on MANY things to study the effects in a 0 g environment.

[F0UCANSTYLE]

every looks better in zero gravity

[Pieisgood2me]

you are calling THEM retards? you spelled "way" wrong....

[Ironmaiden1836]

lol time travel

[dafunk63]

Cool video but the most annoying voice ever

[phillb73]

This was done in a secret government facility

[mramo]

I would definately not disagree with you on that point. The government are bastards. Hiding away all the secrets of the world in a measley lab somewhere secluded.

[alyou]

How can you fake 0 gravity? Even that air bus wasn't perfect.

[feijah]

cool

[yan2626]

WOW

[den2003]

Impressive! How was this filmed? By yourself? In what? You an astronaut? In a diving plane? Or is this stock footage? I would love to see a candle burning in zero G! Better do a search!

[marktwainredux]

Impressive...at least for an illiterate like me...

[princeofexcess]

stupid illiterate means u cant read or write

NOW HOW WOULD U WRITE IT IF U WERE ILLITERATE!!

[pommyrooter]

yeah mark your an idiot for WRITING some-thing so stupid

[GruntSquadron]

Hes forest GUMPP

[vanica123]

cool

[Akriloth2160]

Ahh, physics.

[Fladnag7560]

I'm not a scientist, but if molecules are round, by nature, then it's this original shape that let's itself be known by the magnified sphere we see here.

[XilStorm]

no, it doesn't work that way, fladnag. The water forms a sphere because of a property called cohesion, an attraction between molecules to VERY weakly bind them together. This makes them all love each other, making a solid with the lowest possible surface are and highest volume, a sphere.

[Raphaelus13]

*-*

[yournumbr1shinobi]

bipolar situation

so scientific

but so cool

[000TheAsianGirl000]

That's so cool :p I <3 science :D I wonder how that was filmed...

[Azarathos]

....You don't have to get it into circular form, in space, it's just circular because there is no force that pulls or pushes it, causing it to lose its circular shape. That's why all the planets are round.

[XilStorm]

And no, planets are round because they are compact enough to form gravities that actually impact things around them. The gravity of the sphere probably doesnt extend all the way out of the sphere. idk, im too lazy to do the math behind it.....

[DooMMasteR]

no I'm still student ;) 13.grade @grammar school

[dreamstalker1852]

are u a science teacher, cuz u sound like my science teacher. it was pretty cool though.

[bitRAKE]

Water has surface tension that must be overcome to leave/enter bubble.

[Valodim]

Amazing video, but how does it work...?

[atomsmasher]

how does what work, antigravity? Water? It's a video of water forming a sphere in space, what is it you're asking?

[DooMMasteR]

it works in space....simple solution hey ;)

[antonio93]

I think he means how do you get it in the circular form.

[Altomage09]

The actual composition of the chemical make-up of the water attracts it to itself, and the Surface tension can't be overcome with normal movement.. unless there was something to hold it. It's circular form comes from the attraction between water molecules, all trying to get to the center.
