      Einsteins papers were too hard for even the greatest scientists of his day so I really doubt he would make videos when nobody would be able to follow his reasoning. When a journalist asked the British astronomer Sir Arthur Edding­ton if it was true that he was one of only three people in the world who could understand Einstein’s relativity theories, Eddington con­sidered deeply for a moment and replied: “I am trying to think who the third person is.” - B. Bryson
      Today the theory of relativity has been watered down so more people can understand it but if you go deeper to the more advanced stuff you will realise that its extremely unintuitive and very few people would actually comprehend it completely. There are websites like research gate which are suited for scientific papers. Einstein would be wasting his time on youtube.
      This video right here is baby physics compared to what Einstein did.

    OMG! 40 years ago a girlfriend convinced me to join her in an evening class where we made our own braided leather bullwhips from scratch. We started with tanned hides, sliced them, shaved them, dressed the strips to precise tapers, oiled then braided them. It took a team of two about 20 hours to make both whips. Then we got to learn various techniques, from gently capturing things (we learned to wrap our whip around a balloon without popping it), to wrapping hard enough to break things (my favorite was sidewalk chalk, which exploded).
    But the best part was learning to crack our whips. We started by simply rolling the loop of the whip down onto the floor, where it would snap when the tip smacked down. Then we gradually added more energy, a truly small amount at a time, until it started to crack in the air. Large, graceful motions that finished with a crack. Then we learned quicker moves that brought the snap a little closer in, where we learned to place it where we wanted it. I envied the folks who were ambidextrous with their whips, because my right arm was getting ready to fall off.
    We wanted to see if we could capture the motion of the whip by cracking it horizontally over sand, so a few of us took our whips to the beach and tried to crack the whip horizontally within an inch of the sand. Almost impossible to do, but once in a while we did notice a puff of sand happening well before the whip had reached full extension, from a part of the whip not in contact with the sand. If only...
    Fast forward 25 years, and I was on the team making a camera that could take 100,000 frames per second (the Redlake HG-100K). When the third alpha unit became the first to work at full speed, we searched for targets that would both test the camera and thrill Marketing. Popping a balloon wasn't nearly fast enough. I thought back to my days with the bullwhip, and we immediately went out and bought a few. Despite dumping a zillion lumens into the field of view, nothing useful came of it. (Clearly, using Schlieren photography and capturing the shockwave is crucial.)
    What we did wind up doing was pointing the camera at the HID bulb in an Epson video projector (torn from the ceiling of a conference room), where we captured the most amazing video of the arc wandering between the electrodes within the bulb envelope. We put a GIF of the sequence up on our website (this was before CZcams), which caused some small level of buzz online. The next morning we received phone calls from the Japanese executives of both Epson and Panasonic (the maker of the bulb). It turns out that arc wander was the primary factor limiting projector sharpness, so stabilizing the position of the arc was crucial to gaining any benefit from using higher-resolution LCDs. Two days later they were in our offices for a demo, and left an awesome pile of money behind when they departed with our very first beta unit. Their problem was that high-speed film limited the rate of innovation to one test run per day, with the film developed overnight: Our camera allowed them to do a dozen runs every day, leaping their R&D further ahead of the competition.
    You may have noticed I mentioned we had to go out and buy some bullwhips. My treasured handmade bullwhip had disintegrated within a year of making it: Evidently, the tanning process used on the leather wasn't compatible with the oil we applied to it. It sure was fun while it lasted.
    Now you two have got me wanting to make another one!

    I hypothesise that the knot that helps to start the force of the air breaking, leading the waves, is just enough mass change in a quick transition towards the end of that whip that is the ultimate catalyst, seeing as how the wave suddenly goes from very little mass to a sizable addition of mass, and the frayed ends are trying to catch up to the equilibriam of pressure exerted by the wave as the sound barrier is broken.

    I liked this video, at 8 mins 25 seconds when I realized how the whip looks like it holding the shock wave like it was a ball , and the Shockwave got bigger the further it traveled the whip. And it wasn't until the tip of the whip started coming out of loop at the end . The force behind the whip loop grew stronger and then there wasn't enough whip material left at the beginning of the shock wave to hold back that collection of energy from the speed f the whip. I looked at the Shockwave as it's water and you could cast out a tarp into water . And pulling in the tarp is the same has the whip being extended, so as the whipped travel in the air it collected energy in the from of are atmosphere atoms of oxygen an nitrogen. But the whip velocity and it material is able to pick up enough atmosphere particles at the beginning of the Shockwave released all those atmospheric particle and a high speed which is what creates the Shockwave it's self , cause you need sometype of substance there to be big enough and fast enough to break the atoms in the atmosphere apart.

    I had NO idea that a whip could be such an incredibly beautiful and complicated piece of artistry. Think about that! We have jetpacks and lasers and cars in space and still do not understand how whips work. This is so exciting and cool to me that I can't even explain it.

    I like your content. It makes interesting and difficult science accessable and understandable for many people without losing quality in content. I'm not a physicist but could it at the last moment when the end of the whip is like being dragged its because it breaks the sound barrier and therefore encounters less air resistance. I like when the barrier is broken the forces are not held back and thats why it seems like its getting pulled. Would love to see an update on the whip science :D

    I got to experience this phenomenon firsthand when I picked my wife up for our first date. She was still drying her hair with a towel and she thought it would be cute to throw the towel at me. So I thought it would be cute to pretend that I was going to “whip” it at her. With a lazy motion I whipped the towel towards her but unfortunately that towel conserved energy perfectly. The crack was so loud that I am pretty sure it broke the sound barrier and left A bruise on her bottom even through her jeans. And with all that we were still married a few years later and have been for over 18 years. 😄

      Growing up, my brothers and I routinely had battles in the kitchen with cotton tea towels (no idea what you'd call them in the States, we used them for drying dishes). The ones with a fringe on the end cracked better, though the cotton weave disintegrated fairly quickly with repeated abuse. You really didn't want to cop a loud one on bare skin, it would raise quite a welt!

  • @boolee2
    @boolee2 Před 2 lety +1

    I agree that the hypersonic movement is caused by the acceleration of the tip and that the acceleration is caused by conservation of momentum and the decreasing diameter (or, more exactly, mass density) of the whip along its length toward the tip. But I think the acceleration is still high even if the diameter or density is constant along the length of the whip. This is because of the following fact.
    At any time during whipping, we can devide the whip into two parts the upper part (near the tip) and the lower part (near the hand). The main momentum is generated by only the upper part because the lower part is almost stationary during whipping. Due to the law of conservation of momentum, the upper part has to speed up because the length (and mass) is decreasing during whipping. The rate of relative decrease of mass of upper part is, in fact, accelerating toward the end of the whipping process, which results in accelerating rate of relative increase of the speed.

      *That's* why it is virtually impossible to eat spaghetti and keep a clean shirt!

      But can you break the speed of sound with spaghetti?
      And don't forget the safty glasses! ;)

    I just watched a video starring a pretty lady with a whip.
    It was about science.

    Love the video! Was there a follow up with your conclusions?

    As a whip maker and instructor, this is the coolest video you could have put out! Thank you! One thing we've noticed is that different popper materials and fluff length actually change the tone of the sound - to be sharper or duller. It would be amazing if you were able to explain that using this new model!

      It looked like the shockwave from the knotted tip was much less powerful than the fluff. It still goes supersonic without the fluff, but it's not as loud.

    Great video! I recently learned how to crack a whip. The other day it was pretty cold, and I cracked it. My brother and I both saw a little cloud of condensation near where the crack started. The only explanation we can think of is that it was a small vapour cone, like at the nose of a fighter jet. If you plan to do another video about whip dynamics, it would be incredible if you mentioned that, and looked into it a bit more. (I would, but I don't have access to the same sort of setup as you)
    Thanks!

    Love the videos. If you haven't already been there, The Air Zoo in Kalamazoo MI has an SR-71 trainer. Only a few 2 seater trainers were built and one of them is in the Air Zoo.

      @@GunFunZS The simple things I was talking about was the toy guns being in synch at the end. But yeah... even on big complicated concepts he's good at breaking it down for idiots like me to get it.

      I think a lot of us have child-like enthusiasm for the simple things, his video views and subscriber count reflect this fact, but there's not many people that can chase them the way Destin does, not everyone carries a multi-thousand dollar high speed camera everywhere or have plentiful resources of space, equipment and contacts willing to help. Destin is lucky that he's got all of that, plus the education and time and willingness to present and broadcast his work to the whole world that continue to make this possible (even that alone I wouldn't be able to do) so to have someone like Destin do this for us is certainly a special thing indeed.

    I love how Destin's expertise is listed as "Learning Stuff". That's my primary talent, too, most days - and it's what we learn that we'll ultimately get to take with us ;-)
