The Candle heats up the air, then when the flask is brought down, it cuts off the oxygen suppy to the candle putting it out, the air cools and contracts and the water gets sucked up

  • it's special blue water from the blue lakes of Mt. Sapphiria, aside from being distinctively blue, it also defies gravity and is magnetized to candle flames. Any other smart-ass questions?

  • Simple... the candle used all the oxygen to burn hence creating low air pressure inside the glass,which caused the liquid to be sucked into the glass

  • FAKE.

  • Simple and effective trick for science class. Now let's solve some differential equations!

  • @magg0tmacdonald yes, i've watched vids about water in ice in seconds and most don't work, if there is any, what is the real solution?

  • I love how on every child science movie 50% of the comments are saying why does this happen with a vocabulary of a scientist. We know, allright?

  • But will it blend?

  • @xeusman

    Yeah... almost

  • Raptor72896 Can You Say That Again In English Please???

  • @xeusman Even if the candle used all of the oxygen, the mass and volume of the carbon dioxide remaining in the flask would be nearly identical. This trick is caused by the candles heat expanding the gases inside of the flask, and when the candle is extinguished due to a lack of oxygen inside the flask, the gases return to their initial volume and create a small vacuum/lower air pressure which sucks the liquid into the flask.

  • we call our experiment "happy birthday" lol
