Huge vacuum chamber

[cdoftx]

Fake, if it was a real vacuum chamber it would implode due to the infinite forces on it.

[BMIsurplus]

We have a similar chamber for sale on our website. It's only slightly smaller and in a horseshoe configuration for easy transport. BMI Surplus, Inc.

[madjimms]

"oversized load"......

[junkymagi]

1:35, I hope that door wasn't warped by towing from the bottom edge like that.

I would have attached a pair of tow ropes to the holes at the bottom of the feet, one on each side where the holes are.

[annoooosa]

what is this vacuum chamber for?

[GlobalMusicStage]

@annoooosa These are used mainly for testing telescope parts and equipment prior to going into space.

[FomoHaber]

1:35 Houston, we lost a wheel

[boboriginal]

XD someone would die if they figured out they put it in the wrong warehouse

[CooCurrent]

Where can I buy one of those Vacuum chambers?

[Rob260259]

Wow..!

[whiterottenrabbit]

Thank you for not putting some shitty music into your video, seriously!

[XAmitozX]

outer space is a vacuum.. if you go in a vacuum, there is nothing there, not even air, so the intense reverse pressure would rip your body apart unless if you had something to reverse that, like an astronaut suit that resists high pressure and reverse pressures.

[paperkiller25]

Not accurate....

[gizmondo69]

What happens if the vacuum is released to air immidiately? Like if the chamber would break?

-Would the consiquences be enormous?

[paperkiller25]

other way around... air is released into the vacuum.

[Repsej]

Ponder this instead. How can something that does not exist be released?

[ranger250250]

what are the effects on my body if i was in the vacuum chamber? (with a scuba gear)

[NJRocks281]

Have you ever sucked all the air out of a glass bottle, and felt your tongue painfully swell up and get sucked towards the bottle? Space is like that, except 10 times the magnitude, and all over your body. And its freezing, and there is no gravity. You die instantly regardless of scuba gear.

[Thuringen]

actually, it takes about 3 minuets. seriously.

[fighter2050]

no it duzent

it takes 30 seconds at max

[cripplewoox]

groovy

[roblimusic]

cool science project! :-)

[panictactics]

I would like to go inside and experience a vacume.

[Hilu8D]

Then it wouldn't be a vacuum anymore :D

[chrosquites]

A vacuum has no oxygen you dumb ass!

[panictactics]

Look guy, I can't breathe under water but I still have experienced being submerged.

[nosloppyagape]

the vacuum would suck every last bit of gas out of your body even the oxygen in your blood. can you say "explosion"?

[panictactics]

Lol, guy! No, seriously, apart from a tingly sensation, what would it feel like?

[panictactics]

BTW, God hates Sweden.

[nosloppyagape]

amen he does :)

[crookedfingaz1]

@nosloppyagape inplosion

[chrosquites]

oh shut up.... please.... nobody cares.

[PieXNinja]

You'd also die.

[createsutoo]

hi firecracker......sorry, me didnt intentionally mean to.. annoy U.......

with my new found.. slanger English Language .......ooppps..

peace.+.

[keneyed209]

I would like to see the pump

[createsutoo]

Yep..that's Huge.....

hope it works good for uz.....

how ?..uz going to get-it-off the rollers ??

eekkk.

[Firecracker143]

uz????? i believe it spelled you, or u. uz people annoy me.

[AreaQNH870]

The specific loading must be incredible

[90210steve]

Do you mean the total pressure load against the outside? Let's see...

35 feet * 15 feet * 3.14 = 1649.33 SF

2 ends * 3.14 * 7.5^2 * 1.1 (adding 10% for curvature of end caps) = 388.8 SF

Call it 2400 SF * 1728 *14.7psi = 60,963,840 pounds, or 30,482 tons.

What really matters is the skin and the span from rib to rib. In theory it could be made infinitely long, by repeating the same structure over and over .

[benwl]

nice analysis. Why the factor of 1728 and not 144?

The walls are made from 0.75in 314 stainless. The door alone weighs 7000 lbs, but is balanced on a hinge so well that a person can swing it open with one finger.

[90210steve]

Brain fart ^3? For some reason I was thinking in/CF instead of in/SF. Correcting that, the total pressure against the outside would be "only" about 5.1 million pounds or 2540 tons.

[benwl]

Thanks again for the analysis. 5 Million pounds! I'll use that for our tours from now on.

[d3llboy]

Woah LOL

[futurekahn18]

WTF!!!

[hondac55]

5 Million pounds, that's incredible! I'm blown away, it's amazing what scientists can do!

[haxproductions1]

@90210steve wtfffffffffffffffffff

[plasmafire11]

Sounds great!

However it is the technology that will be tested in it that holds my interest. the VASIMR engine will be the major breakthrough in rocket propulsion, and could have jet propulsion initiatives next in line.

[petey8764]

is this a heat treating vaccum if so what tipe of steels and is it a possitive quench how many bars

[laallaal75]

this is off topic, but imagine a machine that could stimulate every nerve ending in ur body. It could bring about un imaginary pain of every kind, burn, blunt hit, cut, bone cracking and so on. u'd have to control it so it no kill da victim but it would be the clean form of torture, but also the worst... it could also create great pleasure if you know what i mean dot dot dot

[brainac0cult]

lolz

[matieman77]

it wouldn't kill the victim, it would make games pretty cool, as it could also make it feel like you are moving.

btw, youtubers hate of topic comments for some reason

[Alexvideoclip]

Cool,

And how many vaccums can fit in it ?

[whiteyduvual]

thats great hahaha

[sethcat99]

why didn't they just make it out of concrete?

[vmelkon]

Humidity and concrete has a lot of holes.

[feerof]

it's probably a gravity chamber for goku to workout in.

[sethcat99]

dude sweet.

[DeadFishDirector]

@feerof hahahahahahaha glad im not the only one who knows what your on about

[BigPark33]

what would happen if a human was in a vacuum chamber wile the air was being takin out

[dt28469]

I think that when a human is in a cacuum, nothing would really happen for a while. he would just start sufficating. but if the person is there long enough, then nitrogen bubbles would start forming in theri blood and they would go into shock.

[Pimpmastahanhduece]

and then their eyes pop out their head and u get a nose bleed with every blood vessel in ur body, and if fast enough, POP!

[METMAN92towhoknows]

im not sure if your eyes would actually pop out, but our bodies are designed to be at a certain pressure, a pretty high one when you think about it, and if you take away that pressure something obviously has to come out. personally i think you blood will come out of your body some how because you have blood pressure push out against the pressure pushing in. my opinion, im not a scientist ...

[matieman77]

i read somewhere that your brain would explode out of your spinal cord, ok, well not quiet so epic, but the brain is the only place in your where the pressure cannont go anywhere (because of the skull)

[fonna]

Yes, but does it clean carpets?

[Visitec1]

hey let us put one of our Scanning Electron Microscopes inside to see the materials in high resolution.

[benwl]

The chamber is open for commercial use.

[bobwhois]

man - getting stuck inside when it's operational ... well, it would - you know - SUCK.

[mjdrogan]

Vacuum pumps don.t actually suck!!!!

They simply collect atoms that come into them!!!

[iCONICAACINOCi]

But surely the pump is "pulling" those atoms through it?

[rudeboyzero]

No actually. It is the pressure inside the chamber that "pushes" the molecules into the pump.

Look at it like a car engine: the same priciple applies... with the inlet valve open and the piston moving down in the cilinder, atmospheric pressure pushes air into the cilinder.

It's like water that always flows downhill.

[benwl]

This is correct. We also have cryopumps mounted inside of the chamber. These work by freezing any remaining molecules to plates that are 12 degrees above absolute zero. After several weeks, we heat the plates back up and let the nitrogen, oxygen, and argon ice turn back into gas and pump it out with a mechanical pump.

[drpepper242]

Oh, so it's sort of like a giant syringe? the stopper pushes out all of the fluid on one end and creates a void of space on the other end, if no air is let in.

[dt28469]

The actual pump doesnt provide the sucktion rather the pressure of the air is releaved into the pump where their is more free space because its all compacted. kinda like a spring.

[julian1000]

Doesn;t your blood boil inside of a vaccum?

[ECWNET]

bubble i'm pretty sure

[GunnarAztek]

let's have a "bubble bath" then shall we :D

[benwl]

Well, only if it were exposed. Your skin, blood vessels, and blood veins would provide enough static pressure that it would keep your blood from boiling. During the Apollo days, an EVA suit tech was exposed to hard vacuum for a short time. Before passing out, the last thing he remembered was the saliva on his tougue boiling away. I imagine the exposed tears/fluid on the eye would boil away as well.

[oisiaa]

I have heard this story before, very interesting. Do you have a source where I could read more about the incident?

[dt28469]

Thats actualy why theirs no liquid water on mars too. it all boiled away because of the low air pressure.

[harpozo]

If someone here can answer this question I'd be greatful. What are the velocities in MPH of a Variable Specific Magnetic Plazma Engine.

[dandgann]

I think the high end velocity of a VASIMR Rocket's exhaust is around 300,000 Meters per second or approximately 650,000 Miles an Hour. Pretty much fast if you ask me.

[harpozo]

wow!! that's fast, I wonder how fast that a regular rocket goes, or how fast the ion ship called deep space one could go.

[harpozo]

Well; thanks dandgann for your response, I will be keeping my eye out for the VASIMR.

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

Wow that's really impressive. Are they really going to fire the full-scale rocket inside there?

[craigb456]

Got to love my picture taking skillz

[benwl]

Yeah, you've been doing a really great job.  I know the whole team is grateful for this documentation.

[Rivorus]

awesome job craig

[hookah604]

I need one at home:D
