Kudos Ben, always love to see improvements on what I thought was an insane idea to begin with. Also, thank you for the mention in the video and comments, much appreciated.
-
This dude’s on a whole other level.

As the end blisters and the lift vector changes and it started oscillating.... my mind froze and I realized I was thinking about the aerodynamics of the blistering tip of a hot dog. Thanks for this Ben. Also I'm hungry.

Ben, you've successfully created something that none of knew we actually needed. Also, I like your recent style - more relaxed!

Cooking a floating hotdog: okay cool i guess. Finding a way to make people watch the in video ads using a bird: This guy is a genius!
-
The hero we didn't know we needed

It might not be efficient. It might take longer. It might be a waste of time... But it's a friggin' levitating hotdog cooker!
-
You've finally found a weirder way to cook a hot dog than just shorting mains electricity through it.
-
Imagine this sort of contraption in a science fair, or even a normal fair to be honest! There would be literal lines as people waited for their floating hotdogs. So novel, so cool!

-Waitress is my hot dog ready yet ? - give us a moment please the scientists still cooking it .
-
5:54 the joy in his eyes from that hot dog levitated and afterwards. I love watching people show off something they are fascinated about
-
This reminds me of the scientist who put a magnifying lens by his cigarette during a nuclear test, and lit his cigarette using the flash of the nuclear bomb. I love it. It's not about if you should. It's about if you could.
-
I love this - inventing something nobody asked for or dreamed of - good stuff!
-
That was hilarious. I wonder if you could use heated air instead and remove the toaster element, so the air used to levitate also cooked it at the same time. There are compressed air heaters already, but I'm willing to bet you could make one pretty easily!
-
Love the bird! You need a pressure regulator on your air compressor so that your flow on the hotdog is more stable. They are not very expensive. I don't know if this will solve the instability issues or not with using the coandra effect, but it can't hurt. I wonder if you could move the air nozzle lower between the coils so that the entire hot dog could be inside at least warm coils? * Between the air compressor and the heating element, that might not be the most cost effective way to cook a hotdog.
-
also part of that effect is: when fluid has a difference in speed, there is also a difference in pressure. that means, the higher pressure outside the stream pushes the object inside the stream of air
-
A whole new take on "Air Fryer"! What a great idea for a kid's Science Project- it would certainly be popular at lunch time!
-
I expect to see this in gas stations all across Mars within the millenia!
-
wonderful video! and great example for explaining the effect! 🙌😎

Neat feature for a Hotdog sales! No any contact, no dirt, and cool to see as a customer!
