Why Car Tires Are Black and 22 Other Simple Why-s
Vložit

- So you're sitting in your car at that intersection, waiting for the light to change from red to green when you think, “Hmm, why green? Why not blue or purple? Why are things colored the way they are - and how many ways can you answer that question before this light changes?
Did you know, for example, that before 1905, taxis were red and green? Then, Albert Rockwell introduced a model with a 15-horse-power engine that became the standard. He painted it in yellow because… his wife liked that color! And maintaining marital bliss is a good reason for anything! 😉

SUMMARY:
- Traffic Lights Blink Green for “Go” because - In the 1800s, dangerous heavy machinery had green lights that lit up and warned factory workers they were “on” or “going.”
- Traffic Lights Blink Red for “Stop” because - Red is associated with alarm!
- Green Money- Back when the US started printing paper bills, green ink cost less than other colors, letting the treasury keep more of what they printed!
- We transport kids in big vehicles of the yellow color because it’s the one our eyes see first, even in our peripherals.
- Camouflaging dirt isn’t the reason manufacturers add the chemical compound “carbon black” to their product. “Carbon black” makes tires stronger!
- Farmers painted their barns red because those barns were huge and paint was expensive.
- Dark-blue indigo dye washes away … bit by bit … in each wash. As it does, it softens the fabric, creating that special blue jean feel!
- Black Clarinets - That’s because clarinets are made from black woods, like ebony.
- Back then, most TVs were black and white, so designers created a ball with contrasting pentagons, kind of like the stripes in the crosswalk.
- The first basketballs were brown leather. Yeah, brown as in, the same color as the wooden court! In the 1950s, they switched to orange because it was easier to see.
- Mainstream manufacturers bleach their toilet paper to make it sparkly white because white is associated with cleanliness.
- Believe it or not, white dresses were for mourning until Queen Victoria-one of history’s first style influencers- wore a white dress at her wedding and changed tradition forever!
- The Blue Riband was a pennant awarded to the fastest passenger ship crossing the Atlantic. Over the years, Riband got changed to Ribbon, but the blue part stuck.
- Red means emergency, so it’s a natural choice for fire engines. But today, more and more fire trucks are being painted … lime green and yellow!
- When Walter Diemer created his best bubble gum recipe-less sticky, more bubbles!-he made it pink because, well, that was the color he had!

Red is used for traffic lights because it has more wavelength and can be seen from far away
Yup
Yes
Yellow is the most attention grabbing color. That’s why school buses are yellow
Thanks

Indian people: "commenting why is the IND flag shown As battle flag"
Yup
He meant it was 'colorful'
@@lolfactor4092 nope he would've used black flag then or other but he just used Indian flag specifically. Also I'm not Asian so I don't care much.
@@lolfactor4092 I'm from *AMERICA* .
It is simple, the team working with Bright Side definitely includes Indians
I love watching these video because I always learn something new and you guys keep it fun🤗🤗💕
7:53 in my school there we still use black boards and white chalks
same
7:37 @brightside, are you really a fan of India?by the way I am an Indian 😉🇮🇳
Kya wo tumhe reply dega😂
Maybe because most of his viewers are from india
🇮🇪 Irish for me
Me too!
your videos are so fun. I watch them when im bored!
thnks for answering my childhood questions
Of course the cheapest color paint is the hardest to find a use for...
WhAt is it
Divorcing!
red trucks are red cause It was the cheapest color back then.. Sorry ramdom fact
WOWOWOQOWOQOQOQOQOQOQOQOWOWWOWOWOWO
The easiest use for it is hiding blood
Hey bright side ! You link your ideas so well ! I enjoy it very much . Is your voice a real human voice or from a robot like siri from apple phone ? 😅
I'm gonna drop a like because the topics all fit together and dont jump around random subjects.
I really enjoyed this video!
Bright side lets me know things I didn't even need I needed to know
SAME
*know
Useless Taco They said know?
@@heysaucemikehere1804 They didn't but they should've.
Sorry I meant let's me know things I didn't even know i needed to know*
Red and green are also used in traffic lights bcoz of their wavelengths.. I thought you would have mentioned it in your video bcoz your videos contain scientific explanations most of the time.
I was thinking the same
😕
Me three
I love❤ this video🎥 and nice tricks
What a calming voice you have.
So true.
Who else came here only to know why tires are black? 😂
And toilet paper
Toilet paper😂
I didn’t care about the tires at all. I wanted to know about the toilet paper
Maybe because it's in the title.
No toilet paper but i still liked
Thanks for making these amazing videos. I learn about the world so much.
This is very informative, nice video
Bet that was a long wait for the light to change 10 minutes lol good video
“In the old days, students simply DIED”
Me: WAIT WHAT EE
Also me: oooooo dyed
😂 even i thought the same for a second 😆😆😆
Jacob Carreon same XD
This is the most likes I’ve gotten I’m so happy, thanks guys!
That’s what I thought at first
They all eventually die.
2:50 - Carbon black also increases wear resistance - a crucial factor in making tires last longer.
here in the philippines especially here in pampanga (you can search it) we have blue taxis they just came out in 2019( you can search em up too)
I have a black belt. Thx. Love it
2:52 sometimes people use blue ones too!
Bright side:traffic lights are green because it meant go from machines in the 1800.
Me:but why did they choose green for the machine
I was wondering the same exact thing!
Exact same wth
@@user-rn4oz5rd5s, sorry, I am not a native English speaker, so I don't know the correct form.
Good speaking you are the best
Thanks, Brightside!
In the Philippines the money color was:
100 - Purple
200 - Green or Blue
500 - Yellow
20 - Orange
50 - Red
1000 - Blue
Machinery, especially electrical panels, have RED when they are active, red for danger. When machinery/ electric switches are off, they light GREEN for safe. Early in my career I was always surprised at the amount of RED lights on when machinery was running.
Love ur logo
I like how all the things he talked about connects with one another
The only fact that surprised me :
Bulls are colour-blind!!😅
7:09 France is very proud!!😋
Its indian flag not france
@@manasluthra9851 🤦♂
France is the rip off dutch flag
It's Indian
@@manasluthra9851 he meant france always surrender
New subscriber ❤
Best channel from youtube ,
Why is the Indian flag being used here to mention battle flags????
Maybe because the channel loves India so much and wants to go visit one day =D
because why not is the answer
@@nekotranslates or maybe because India is 💩?
Bcz he dont have common sense ...proud to be an Indian..
Because they are colourful.... that easy
Thank god for yellow school buses catching my attention, i go full and furious overtaking any other color bus.
We have a rainbow crosswalk 🌈 in a certain area here in Chicago, looks pretty cool 👍
There is another reason behind red signals,that is it has the longest wavelength,wavelength is a distance between crests and troughs
Red barn thing is wrong, it is actually because when they made the barns they used clay and the clay showed up red
Nope, all wrong. Farmers usually painted their barns with a rust/oil mixture as the ferrous oxide kills fungi, explaining the red colour of old barns.
Nope, all wrong it's painted red because someone died in there in the first day
SO GROSS! SO OLD BARNS HAVE NO PAINT ONLY WEARD MIXTURES ON IT
I thought the ferrous oxide was to stop insects from boring into the wood. I didn’t know about it being a fungicide.
Nope all wrong because this is a trend in the reply section
That video is literally me on an average day.. 😂😂😂😂😂
:) I 💎 love your videosssss
Hey im your biggest fan!!
I’ve never wanted to know why the lights were green or red
I want to know why the light is yellow
Yellow is the fastest color you register, so it grabs your attention and you SLOW down
SafetyRey thank you
popstarprincess123 It’s Amber
So it’s not Orange?
MoShaRAR its None
*_Ahaaa, Now I knew why your logo is YELLOW!_* So you can get attention!
BUX GT liar
LOL
*TOTALLY! *
@The Perfectionist bruh it's facts dude chill and second this channel is a trash most of the things are false and he disrespected India
Red colour disperses less, lower wavelength. Hence can be seen from a long distance and also during smog conditions (orange/amber/ yellow also have lower dispersion)
Red color has the highest wavelength so it can be seen from a long distance alerting the drivers to slow down before they reach h signals
Green is a light color with short wavelength which implies that it scatter more in short distance making it easy to spot even in dense traffic
Do you see the Indian flag 🇮🇳🇮🇳
I was also wondering why they use Indian flag?🤔
Because they love India
@@needapereira6394 Battle Flag 😂
Wondering why they used 🇮🇳 in the context of surrendering? 🤔
@@SS-ob7et yes. But its not what you think
18: The color white also means "peace"
So i'm wiping my arse with peace
@@warreng675 lol
9:25 Here in The Philippines, V-fres is green which is a buvblegum
I live in Johnston Iowa and I go to Ames a lot but I’ve never seen the rainbow crosswalks
U already ask the traffic ligth is blue
In japan

I live in Georgia and live right next to Atlanta but I have never seen the rainbow cross walk
In country Singapore taxis a blue and sometimes silver and some of them yellow as well
I didnt know any of this! XD especially the clarinet.
(I play clarinet)
7:36 Indian flags??
Anyone from India?

While I was in school we used to Blackboard and white chock even though I was in the first grade in 2014
I have been to Atlanta many times and I have never seen the cross walk like that
I need to correct you on the martial arts belts one.
They didn't dye the belts the colour in the belts back then eat cause by blood, sweat and tears not dye.
Your welcome 😁
Where I live, in Mississauga, Ontario, there are firetrucks that are pink for fun and they look pretty cool!
I used to live there but that's amazing I don't remember seeing any sadly
@@nasreenshah5220 oh I think those are new firetrucks
@@zigzag00 maybe, I just want to see one 😁😁😁
@@nasreenshah5220 Yea there pretty cool
@@zigzag00 agreed
The story was awesome 😂😂🤣
4:28 I like how he kicks it it does nothing but if he punches it the wrong way it will have an effect
Yellow is actually very hard for me to see sometimes
You are wrong
Red lights are used for traffic signals because it has more wavelength than any other colour by which it can see from far away
Okay, then why is the go light been selected with the least wavelength and scattering property
I read before
Red signal light to stop: red has longer wavelength hence would reach longer distance and hence vehicles would deaccelerare from longer distance.
0:25 I didn't know their was dangerous machinery I thought that it's on the over side of the couler thing and like red easy to see
How long is this light you're at exactly? You named almost 25 things-
He said 1 fact and 22 other 23
Them: why are taxis yellow?
Me: NoT aLl tAxIs aRe yElLoW LoOk At Philippines
some are whit
@@usedtobemcytstan black and red
Now a days, smart boards are used, where we can change the background colour as well as the writing colour, so cool
Wow the light turned green after 9 minutes
I don't think I can ever wait that long
That traffic light must have been broken if you could say all of those things in 10 minutes 🤣
4:38 In the older days, students died and then re-died. Their belts.
Wooooow I can't believe how long that light was red
2:17 in hong kong they still use red and green taxis
Seeing that on the map he put Michigan as part of Canada. * starts hyperventilating*
I was thinking that too
3:22 In Poland we never had Red barns :/
Not bad bro! I'm a filipino and the color of the barns there are optional
did he say you do ?
@@atiqrehman1694 乁( ⁰͡ Ĺ̯ ⁰͡ ) ㄏ i don't get it
Is there a preferred barn color in Poland?
@@raakone actually we dont care about barn we dont even colour it if theres grey brick the barn is grey if red (which is rare beacuse red is not used for buildings) well but someone is using red brick it is red and roof well rust xD i live in village/town whatever you call it and i have grey barn beacuse its made of grey brick and some concrete
I like the gum to stay pink that is my favorite color
The transitions are to good to be real
7:36 You can't call the Indian flag as battle flag. Correct it asap.Or I shall report.
True
@@infiknightindia951 we all need to report the video, so that the fact will come to notice to channel
@@sukoon7868 yeah, plz see my channel
@@sukoon7868 do you really need to report someone just because of their mistakes?
@@yuriang_8050 yess we need to
Who else forgot about the light and then relized that it took 10 minutes to change
I was clowned on when I first started my job cause I wasn't accustomed to Green meaning OFF as in "it's okay to work on the machine" and Red meaning the machine is ON so it might be dangerous to work on it.
2:14 new York has green taxis also and yellow
4:38
Speaker: students simply died...
Me: Errr okay, I guess
Speaker:... and redyed their belts.
Me: Ohhhh
Me: sees thumnail
Me: "I got black I got white what you want"
Not close to what I was thinking
My second place Robin for cross-country was blue
nice outro
