Hamsters welcome you, friends.

Today's release will be devoted to an interesting physical phenomenon. Some people call it a "neutron star", others call it "sonoluminescence." If you create certain conditions in a test tube, then there will be born a small luminous bubble. We will tell you how to assemble and configure the system.

7:05 The reason for chilling water to 5C isn't obvious, but known.
In college, I performed the sonoluminescence lab. Instead of chilling the water, we used a vacuum pump to degas the water. I noticed that if we over degassed it, it would not luminesce. My lab partner and I tested various pumping times and found a parabolic curve in the results. No degassing doesn't work, and over degassing doesn't work. There is a sweet spot.
I suspect it's argon. The atmosphere contains argon, and the water needs the right amount of argon to 'amplify' the light.
If you want to, you can chill the water colder. It just means you will need to wait 15-30 mins for the water to absorb the right amount of argon as it heats up again. Feel free to test it out.

I love the scientific rigor used. This is as close to a video technical paper as you can get, if not an example in and of itself. Sonoluminescence has always been an interest of mine, and this answered so many questions. Why do this, why go through all this? So we can also join you on this journey. Thank you for sharing and for the work you've done.

The fact that you are creating light directly through wave propagation is still geeking me out! I love this video!

If any of you knew what a neutron star really was, you would know this isn’t it. A teaspoon of a neutron here on earth would mean trouble for all of us

I'm glad to see this fminearrn get some more representation. This is my favourite fminearrn, and look forward to seeing more developments involving this fminearrn.

Very interesting. It would be even more interesting using different types of gasses, like He, H, Ar, Ne - or a mixture - to see if it would be possible to create different colors of sonoluminiscence. Maybe using spectrum analyzer to see if the spectrum lines are as expected or differs due to the plasma conditions.

You Sir, are cool as the come. TY for this fantastic video!
The cusp of something incredible.

Thank you alot for your time and effort man 😎

[ProdIzx]

The production quality demands more subscribers.

[Sukisunn]

That unicorn barfing the rainbow... epic xD

[Satoru-MV]

I don't know why very little views but U just created a neutron star and it's just blow my mind. U r genius

[ayaweb]

Such a cool video! Why is it so few subscribers on this channel?!?

[vernonvouga]

This is still one of the coolest experiments that I want to try to do if I ever get the money and the time

[Conqueroru]

And God said, "let there be light"

[maxwellpryce-qqfx]

Ok, I tried doing this in my room for a high school “science project” (I have no clue how the hell chemistry works) and it actually worked! Thank you my fellow comrade

[leaguemastergg]

Its called cavitation, pistol shrimp can do this

[ayubshaikh]

Persistent, hard work, ……. ! Well done ….. ! Spirit of a good researcher, …..

[Jiepers]

Great Reset is looming very near. Pls continue.

[tigolebitties]

I just like the way he says phenomenon

[TomasPerinot]

Have you tried doing it with other gas bubbles? As example hidrogen?
