Waves in a Large Free Sphere of Water

[freshkryp69]

@vauspace , no gravity in any direction to deform the sphere..as long as no other forces, it will be a perfect sphere..

[smuggecko]

love the video really good

[freshkryp69]

Water will form itself into a sphere when in a zero gravity situation. Actually if there are no outside forces acting upon the sphere, it will come to rest as a perfect sphere..

[VAUSpace]

@freshkryp69 That seems unlikely. Please explain.

[SissyNekoBoi]

this guy sounds like such a nerd lol

[Driftah1]

This is done in space as I saw on NASA channel

[tao2110]

HEY CHRIS!

[gguitarp1]

HEY DREW

[meayell]

I think it's done in the space

[RyeBai]

I got an idea

Get a core with heated liquid metal inside

The heated metals you need to figure out how to make magnetism.

On the surface put water

Heat some of the water and see if atmosphere is sustained and controlled by its gravitational pull.

Create a better world.

[Tardis1217]

i liked the part where the guy talked funny about bubbles

[SwordPlay2]

bubble war

[TheRoooot]

like face in 2:34

[znawcayeny]

surdu.pl tam już to jest na głównej! sami zobaczcie, surdu.pl hhehee

[rainbowphoenix42]

Like a twinky...like a twinky...

[lovinsjared]

cool story bro

[sjsawyer]

That was delightful.

[AnneJudyH]

Don't watch this if you need to pee

[Cryptocracyz101]

nice...

[Heat3000]

Yo dawg I heard you like water, so we put water inside air inside water inside the air inside your space station.

[sillywilly375]

I wanna do that! How do u do that! D:

[rj010031]

@sillywilly375 There In Space Stupid

[sillywilly375]

@rj010031 oh sorry i didnt read it:P

[Felderoth]

At 2:33 its looking at me!

[WoahSalmo]

Very cool, but remind me why we are spending a TRILLION dollars to make zero-g Alka Selser bubble wars? Just imagine how many people on Earth we could have fed with that money...

[elsparx]

@WoahSalmo This isn't all they do on the ISS you know. These kind of experiments are conducted usually on the free time of the scientists, they are not included on the mission plan. The more large scale experiments that do have very real practical aplications for space travel and applications for life on earth are the ones that money is spent on. This is what I'd call fun space science, observing things in zero g often leads to surprising observations of usually mundane things.

[Fabzil]

2:30 -> when the guy says "bubble war", the large bubble is smiling. Freaking creepy O_O

[ZOMGxuan]

last part reminds me of the game Osmos

[stuartwwillis]

water INSIDE water?!?!?!

[STJohnson666]

I want a sphere like this too!!

[TheSupaCamaMan]

2:04 GIMME! past that: URGH! 

[Peaceinlifenowar]

After ALL THAT FKING MONEY, THESE ARE THE NLY FUCKING EXPERIMENTS I FIND AVAILABLE TO PUBLIC? Wtf.

Can someone give me a link to ANY experiments that Nasa did over the years.

For example, Oxygen production in Space.... What no videos to that

[wtfVIDEOSS]

how the fuck did he get the water sphere 

[Pappmaultellersalat]

it's so erotic...

[redKELLYMHRCH]

uh, how did he get a "large free sphere of water"

[star4galaxy]

@redKELLYMHRCH in space

[asplosionsRtehShznaz]

@redKELLYMHRCH Lol i would say he squeezed it out of a water bottle =P

[mb1467]

One bubble dominates

[fatqwert200]

maybe thats how the moon formed

[redKELLYMHRCH]

@fatqwert200 LIAR!!!

[ThePr32]

how 2 make a ball of water like that?????

[pmfa91]

@ThePr32 Darling, in space xD

[asplosionsRtehShznaz]

@ThePr32 they're in space lol

[187781jason]

Nice, Makes you think the earth could be hollow after all. Earthquakes are caused by bubbles hitting the inside wall. And the earth is growing because of a big antacid tablet.

[ThePr32]

@frostywinter11 hahahaha

[vivtin]

lol it looks like there's some back wash in that water

[MRburitz]

2:33 the monster popped its eyes out

[pigeonkid4]

Fascinating, although you have the voice of a goon

[NINTENDOALPHA]

H ow the.. but... but...  wow...

[LogicalPhallusy]

The bubbles are like Highlander!!! They vie for each others souls until they dominate all!!

[kennethstudstill]

i want spaceship

[Crackspoon75]

What if you did it with piss?

[minesandlookouts]

what if you point a visable green laser at it?

[jamieboyrockon]

How is this done?

i need to make this.

Nevermid. I'd need the earth to stop spinning.

[fuzybush]

@jamieboyrockon

you'd need the earth to not exist.

might you be an American? your education shows

[jamieboyrockon]

@fuzybush I made a mistake, thanks for being a smartass about it.

[jamieboyrockon]

How is this done?

i need to make this.

[MapleOryDude]

how do you make a sphere of water

[rpm2004]

@MapleOryDude GO TO SPACE.

[stagedive516]

2:04 Epic Water Balloon

[budman533]

Amazing

[pelamelachilli]

its in space i finally found it. theres pics on nasa dot gov

[zaqmen123]

übrigens bin so unglücklich

[Leilahorsey123]

wow that is so cool!!!!!! i never knew that those are even possible thats so amazing! i am talking about the water droplet being the size of his head! wow! lol so cool!

[AllThatTWILIGHTGirl]

How in the world do you make a sphere of water?!

[beren082]

@AllThatTWILIGHTGirl 0 gravity

"An experiment at the International Space Station."

[ExpertOfSound]

@AllThatTWILIGHTGirl

Simply divide by zero! :D

[777strongcoffee]

4 of 5 people within hearing of this video are "bugged" by this man's voice. Just think, it took rocket science brainiacs to send people to the space station just so they could play with bubbles.

[maniacguitar]

@777strongcoffee in turn, this information could change everything. Never underestimate the power of curious thinking, it has already taken us this far :)

[Momar000001]

Anyone else notice the galaxy shaped spiral formation formed when the two main bubbles join at the end of the video? It makes the sphere look like a mini universe model!

[Momar000001]

anyone notice the galaxy-like spiral formation that forms from the two main bubbles transferring at the very end of the video?

[walgav7]

2:34 - It's an ALIEN!!!

[2JAMMY]

Water is more magical than you will ever imagine - and I don't mean the kind of things this guy is doing. Until you can think further than the eye can see - you will never understand.

[FraserGLParlane]

It sounded so scientific until bubbles started eating each other.

[pjaxy]

"i can even make the droplets spin!! and then eventually, the droplets join the bigger bubble

"very cool right? no? boring? ok take a look at this.we had some antacid lying around and tried it on our bubble. here lemme show you. it makes lots of bubbles! it's pretty! it's like a party of bubbles!

the bubbles seem to eat other bubbles!

it's a bubble war!

look! a smiley face! whoops, it combined. now there's only one bubble left"

serious research inside the international space station. gosh

[pjaxy]

translation:

"hey look at this! this is cool! look i made this sphere of water. I'll poke it! look! i promise this will be cool! (pokes) see! cool right? here i'll show it to you again. i have it in slow mo

"i also tried blowing air inside of it and i made a bubble inside a bubble. and then i tried to put water droplets inside. cool huh? if i stir them around, they go wild and stuff. sometimes they bounce of each other. sometimes they combine to form a bigger droplet...

[hellcreator8]

Sounds a bit like caboose in rvb

[Creptio]

didn't know they were handing out marijuana to astronauts these days...

[whatthejake2]

@Creptio I was just saying how trippy this is when i read your comment >_>

[cappnonymous]

the cornstarch holes vid is better. ;p

[1stangelavenger]

i want 1

[sfurner]

His voice is annoying.

[wenaolong]

It sounds like my 8-year old imagination while playing with massive numbers of toys as I try to narrate some sort of plot upon them. Either that or he is SUPPOSED to be doing something scientific, but instead he found something "cool" to do, and is rationalizing his behavior by trying to sound productively scientific, while the whole time he is just basically being a kid. He sounds like that kid who explains all the important and meaningful reasons why his mom should buy him a new toy.

[wenaolong]

I want HIS job!!!!!!!!

[theInfamous3]

bubble-bubble-bubble-bubble-bu­bble-bubble-bubble. bubble. pretty interesting though.

[TheMiamifuentes]

Amazing

[mmfwclfromhatchetman]

you sound like a pedofile

[Mathaius833]

The bubbles eat all the other bubbles..

[jakedodd]

smiley face at 2:33 ! :D

[tuffield7]

haha "The bubbles"

[btshitzor]

He sounds like that turtle guy from Rocko's Modern Life!!!

[9noitulover]

That's just funny as hell how they describe the last experiment, also it's not zero gravity, its reduced gravity and you and the space station are falling at the same rate towards the earth.

[AlienScientist]

02:35 - Check out the vortex that forms when those two bipolar bubbles merge.

[okmasko]

How can you make such free water sphere?

[jmsthewall]

you need zero gravity

[jtoznel]

@okmasko It's probably done in a vacuum chamber, zero gravity. I don't know how they got the hand in there though.... :/

[j4k3g4l3]

@jtoznel This is on the ISS, its in space, therefore when they dont have any form of artificial gravity, ie from a centifruge, there will be no gravity, allowing experiments like this to take place. Zero Gravity flame was an interesting one as well.

[TheGameHippo]

@jtoznel There are no feasible means of creating a zero-gravity chamber on Earth. A vacuum chamber is still susceptible to gravity. Otherwise, you would see tons of theme park attractions with such devices, especially since the pressurized space suits worn by astronauts would allow visitors to enter the device and move around.

[TaiFerret]

@TheGameHippo It would have to be a chamber that falls down.

[TheGameHippo]

@TaiFerret Similar to the planes that fly in parabolic arcs to simulate the feeling of zero gravity. However, if you watch some of the author's other videos, you'll find that he is actually an astronaut and performed these experiments in space.

[Jahan917]

@TheGameHippo There's no feasible means of creating a true-zero gravity chamber on Earth only because the chamber itself still has mass and volume and everything has some sort of gravity field, likewise there's actually even no such thing as "zero gravity" in existence, everything in space exerts some form of gravity no matter how far away it is or how small.

[TheProdigySupreme]

2:03 - 2:50 .. Wow, awesome!

[TheProdigySupreme]

2:03 - 2:50 ..... wow!

[CWojewodzic]

Killer video, thoughtful experiment.  Just plain awesome.

[Darkwolfxx88]

2:00 epic

[amsterdamob]

Don't get me wrong...

This is really fucking awesome/cool to watch.

But,

It just somehow seems, i don't know... Irrelevant?

I guess it's not every day you have zero G to do weird experiments.

[BeckTechnologies]

@amsterdamob

The first one is what would happen to the earth if it got hit by a really big asteroid or comet, and if you want to travel and colonize space, its important to know how things will work in space.

[motobrola]

hahahahahaha! (Y)

[samueldu]

not everything in life has to be "relevant" in what you understand of that word.

[amsterdamob]

I didn't say everything in life had to be relevant. WTF?

Are you bored?

These experiments aren't teaching us anything new about fluid dynamics. They're cool, but no new discoveries.

[RonFella]

Ho Hummm... Since Obama killed the moon and Mars missions in favor of circling the Earth playing with bubbles for another 40 years I'm bored. I'd rather not fund NASA at all then pay for more of this nonesense.

[mechazaowa]

@RonFella

so.... this was uploaded 06?.....

[jonk512]

2:31 is so good

"and in this form of a bubble war ... two large bubbles that rapidly eat all the other bubble ... one bubble dominates the other bubble ..."

[sculptsystem]

Great video! water is everything (close to it at least) look at my water sculpture if you get a chance

[daleetMeh]

He sounds like an excited kid explaining something to their parent.

[TheMiamifuentes]

@daleetMeh That's zero gravity's effect on the vocal chords

[rtmnmk]

@daleetMeh

No, he sounds like he's on something...

[wenaolong]

@daleetMeh EXACTLY. THAT'S part of why his job appeals to me, aside from the fact that what he is doing looks exactly like what a kid will do under those circumstances. 

[tinozza]

@daleetMeh yes!!! probably he likes his work... :)

[noncelafaccioproprio]

@daleetMeh it's called "passion"..

[daleetMeh]

@noncelafaccioproprio

I never said it was a bad thing, i happen to love his enthusiasm, it's the same enthusiasm i have for the subject, i'm just not privileged enough to be in space. lol.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

@daleetMeh Not really. I know what you're talking about, but he just sounds like a guy explaining something.

[mabz9]

2:36 EYEBALL!

[Mohart777]

Man that is some cool stuff they sure have fun floating around up there. You can see the behavior of spheres and waves in a zero gravity environment. I'm thrilled.

[95Gabe]

Very nice...but what do we learn from this? Why are we spending Billions on this?

[MunchVids]

This isn't all they do up there. This was probably just a fun experiment they did (it must get pretty boring up there).

[Nutzername36]

they have so much they have to work on they never get bored ;)

[tiervexx]

@95Gabe, I have some sympathy for what you are saying but I do view knowledge as an end in itself. I'd like to see NASA receive donations instead of tax money but I see them as a MUCH better way to spend money than wars, useless pork projects, hand outs and most of the other things governments spend money on.

[Milkmanbag]

00:37 a penis head Lol

[massart09]

@Milkmanbag

it s true :D

[Tritiumpsyco]

BUBBLE WARS!

[peronkop]

BOBBULS!

[jakebeaumont0]

i think he likes bubbles...

[joniuxas]

i looks cool but wtf he talk about...

[InnoZthefirst]

wtf is he talking about? xD

[123rickross]

3 stars for the cool spheres but I didn't know what he waz saying

[klett69]

that makes me think of the possible invisible effects of microwaves and other radio waves on human body cells; our cells...

Can someone say why 2.4 GHz was absolutely necessary as a standard?

[samnseq89]

The discription said "International Space Station" It's probably just in space like harvellt said

[klutterkicker]

Don't tell me that last one wasn't just those guys saying "what can we stuff into a sphere of water?"

lol

Those bubbles though might mimic the actions of some biological materials like phospholipids suspended in tiny pressurized regions. Or maybe not.

[harvellt]

Mintymintmintmint are you kidding?? it's nasa.... and the water is floating.....

[o0tinerz0o]

at 2:34 it looks like a human face!

[ModPCLM]

wtf

[sniperGasMask]

They're obviously in microgravity.

[anorwood84]

Because it's in microgravity... Like in earths orbit.

[nattsurfaren]

bubbles eating other bubbles it's like in the real world with companies.

[user25119498503]

Actually, I think it is better to associate the effect with biological competition; animals preying upon one another evoke much more appealing imagery than quarterly profit projections.

[ostskateteam]

thats awsome!!!!!

[shadyalien]

This is like the best thing ever.

[JackotheWako2000]

that was awesome. I wonder what vinegar and baking soda would look like in 0 G.

[RowanTolley02]

zero gravity is cool.

[BigTymerPimp]

EAT THE BUBBLE! That's cool. Nothing like Alka-Seltzer bubbles in space.

[moutapt]

2:35 alien?! O.O

[soulflower84]

scientists are so hot.

[w00kiey]

i wander what beer looks like

[tuseroni]

i must say, the effects of the bubbles in the water remind me of gravitational effects, for instance the first one with the big bubble and small bubble, they seemed to be moving about in a way very indicative of the way stellar masses move through space, collisions and absorptions as well. and the effervescent tablet's bubbles remind me of the way early planets formed, with bigger bubbles absorbing smaller bubbles to grow larger. was quite interesting

[Benuliukas]

wow, that was amazing, it can give a lot of answers about universe

[L0VECHILDD]

yeah, for sure. LOTS of answers.

[191bubbles191]

Wait was this done in space?

[SirTeeGeeEss]

"Waves in a Large Free Sphere of Water - An experiment at the International Space Station. "

... Learn to read.

[OntologicalQuandary]

omg this is amazing, where can i see more videos of experiments done in space?

[MegaLol555]

so thts how the dinosaurs dies xD a crater hit the earth and the vibration make eath quake maybe....

[hissclick]

are you really that uneducated?

[1MAKEDONEC1]

2:34 looks like a face, or more like a skull :)

LOL!

[nook3y]

excellent imagination... :)

[PSPLeopard]

what's with the voice

[MrModsmgm]

You try sleeping in Zero-G. :P

[nametroubles]

Man, they have come a long way from when I was in school. They used to just brush their teeth upside down and use the space crapper. Now they are playing with bubbles.

[LoneWhiteWolf13]

BUBBLES!!!!!!

[spoonsandswords]

0:28 watch the left hand side. some of the water escapes lol.

[turningheadfart]

how did they do dat antigravity?

[goingtoeatpizza]

it was done in space

[RealeloH]

it says its in the fucking space station. can you read

[karioken]

lol. i can see the same things when I shake a coke on earth.

NASA should fly to Mars and stop these stupid "experiments"

[spoonsandswords]

oh this finally gave me the answer to a life question. how much money can nasa waste. apparently all of it!

[JodaSFU]

This is not a question of wasting money. The guy performing these experiments was already on the space station for some purpose. But you might as well make experiments of various kinds when you've actually got a true environment free of gravity. It's not like we can make experiments like this on Earth.
