Demonstration of Pascal's Principle using a lucozade bottle

[Lindholmer5k]

haha, so this explanes why some of my glass coke bottles break when i open them on a table or bench or somthing and hit it on the top...haha

[91Tribual]

scientific expiriments is cool

[dysonsmith101]

dare ya not click.

[susiejay]

is it a glass bottle or plastic?

[mj25patricia]

will this work on any bottled water?...

[Crusoe92]

erm....increase the desity of air to break the bottle??

[limlynn999]

Water bottle

[travis359]

whats lucozade?

[jrjr18181]

a sports drink available by deffo in the uk, it has lit of glucose in it to give energy

[3Felix3Ross3]

its way cooler doin it dat way den wit a hmmer lets be honest!!!

[falling3guns]

would it be easier with an oais bottle cos i think the bottom might be bigger and the top the same size

[falling3guns]

so is is basicly when you hit the top it creates pressure in the air space that travels through the water and then the bottle cant take it so it breaks??

[yerrahyouknow]

Yes, but there is also a multipication factor because the area at the bottom is greater than the area at the top (like a hydraulic press). If you google hyperphysics pascal's principle it brings up a better explanation plus a seperate video clip. It's where I got the idea from.

@yerrahyouknow i thought that happened because the water in the bottom of the bottle accelerates to the top of the bottle creating a massive vacuum bracking the bottom..........i know this because if you do this with carbonized water or soda it wont break because the gas would fill the vacuum space every time................i believe there's even a time warp episode in discovery channel about this

[falling3guns]

how full did you guys have the bottle?

[yerrahyouknow]

Pretty close to the top, but I'm not sure how important this is. It also works if the top is not on. I'm not sure what the critical parameters are. I can only get it to work with a mallet with a rubber head.
