My favorite thing about perpetual motion questions is that the answer is always “no”
-
That was the most passive aggressive science short I've ever seen 😂
-
Ah, the Water of Life. drinks it and dies
-
What ramen does when trying to pour out the water:
-
The sass at the end lmao
-
Ive never heard action labs pull a "no you idiot" move. Usually he is so chill and nice about stupid questions.
-
“Of course it doesn’t work” was my favorite part 😂😂😂😂😂
-
I love how sassy he was at the end, as if We're the ones who asked him to try it
-
Wait what was that ending 😂 😂
-
That is the most sass I have ever seen in an action lab video.
-
The hardest part about making a perpetual machine is finding where to put the batteries
-
One couldn't imagine Boyle happy

For those who don't understand: "This is an osmotic laxative, commonly known as Miralax. It makes your digestive system flow, but not a perpetual motion machine."
-
For those still confused as to why it's not moving: Imagine a very long chain. Even those small ones that hold the pen. Now if you pull on the chain and drop it over a table it might eventually pull the rest of the chain down with it. Now take the end that's on the floor and attach it to the end that's on the table. With out you doing anything you'll notice that the chain eventually doesn't move. It needs something to interact with it. You haven't made a perpetual motion device, you've made a necklace.

For those who don't know. Glycol tubes are wrapped around beer lines from keg rooms to keep your beer cold. This is essential for keeping beer cold while traveling through a tap line. The friction of traveling through a tube from keg to tap would warm your beer up without Glycol wraps.

Perpetual motion is a concept that defies physics of many people trying to achieve it for electricity. This Liquid doesn’t break physics and stays as an alcohol but because of its properties it will keep on flowing but it can’t travel in a loop, only being able to do this by human intervention.

In this house we obey the law of thermodynamics!
-
“Could we achieved perpetual motion” My instant reaction: “NO!” 😂
-
It might work if you add an extra container at the top the same size as the one at the bottom, probably closed, gravity might help, it works when you need more presure in irrigation systems, also the hose needs to be longer at the top and a check valve to avoid liquid recoil
-
The weight of the fluid inside the tube is still higher than the part of the tube on top of the funnel so there is a reverse flow. We can induce a temporary flow by artificially adding bubbles in the fluid but once the bubbles are gone the equilibrium returns
