Physics behind the canola oil and the pepper experiment along with the food color plus milk exp. is related to Zeta potentials. Gets pretty complicated pretty quickly. The coke can did not implode .. there is no such thing as an implosion. The atmospheric pressure steam condensed from a vapour to a liquid due to temperature drop. Now we have reduced pressure in can .. water gets drawn in AND ext. air pressure acts to crush can. No implosion. Implosion bad science.

[jonkcooney]

Well... ok, thanks, but it was clearly a Pibb can, not a Coke can... so there! :)

[jonkcooney]

Implode: v. to burst inward (opposed to explode)

Implosion: n. the act of imploding, a bursting inward.

Conduct the Pibbs can experiment in outerspace. What would happen? Nothing!.. No inward-acting pressure gradient. An implosion implies an inward acting force.  An attractive force. Force on Pibbs is atmospheric equivalent to a deep-sea hydrostatic force. Submarines don't implode. Water pressure acts from the outside inwards. Perhaps stars implode to form black holes (i.e. inwards-acting gravity). Lots of good mat'l online re: why implosions exist only in Hollywood. Int. lavalamp exp btw.

[jonkcooney]

The lavalamp went better in rehersal... the second go'round had some flaws, but we went with it anyway, his explanation was sound, even if the results were not clearly demonstrated.

Ok, the whole "Kelly is a girl's name" is great insight... thanks for the contribution...

BTW: what about 8 time world champion surfer Kelly Slater?? Anybody makin' fun of him?

[MrNightspirit4]

I just see some of those losers comments wow dudes leave the kid alone he is just like 12 years old some of you are like 50 please get s life and dobt try to impress a kid lulz

[123Billster1]

you have a girls name loser

[ByronTehNoob]

try food coloring, it makes it alot better instead of Pepper.

[CRASDFGH]

haha...the funny thing is some people will believe his explanation and think that this kid is really smart when all he did is look these up online or in a chem/phys book...

and PigsCanFly99 is right no implosions and nothing sucks...a vacuum does not suck it takes out the inside particles and reduces the pressure so that the out side is pushed in in order to reach an equilibrium...sam with the can when the particles inside slow and reduce in pressure the outside pushes it in...lol

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw cuteeee

[NP0970]

lol we did that "impolding" can thing with a 2lieter soda bottle and it went CRUNCH!!

[doglove2013]

hey we just did that yesterday in science club the exploding can

[PigsCanFly99]

Good answer on the Pibbs Dad - ya gotta like that : )
