Boyle’s self-flowing flask with polyethylene glycol

In this video, I show you what happens when you put polyethylene glycol in Boyle's self-flowing flask

My favorite thing about perpetual motion questions is that the answer is always “no”

[mikebblack]

Ive never heard action labs pull a "no you idiot" move. Usually he is so chill and nice about stupid questions.

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.

"oops, I spilled a drop"
The whole liquid: Ima head out

Edit: why tf are you guys arguing about an empty comment

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."

That was the most passive aggressive science short I've ever seen 😂

Me after accidentally spilling a bit of my polyethylene glycole:

[matthewslivkoff]

That is the most sass I have ever seen in an action lab video.

[GoldySliime]

“Of course it doesn’t work” was my favorite part 😂😂😂😂😂

Ah, the Water of Life.

*drinks it and dies*

[jmanciaz]

I've never heard him be sassy before!! 😂😂😂 This was everything!!😅😅😅

[NoahPurdyFR]

In this house we obey the law of thermodynamics!

“Could we achieved perpetual motion”
My instant reaction: “NO!” 😂

[henriproos]

Prepetual motion is possible, as long as the machine has no friciton and is in a perfect vacuum, the only problem is that it would be completely useless, as any energy you harvest from it you have to add back, otherwise it will stop.

The fluid equivalent of plugging a power bar into itself.

Boyle was Irish, so his flask will pour continuously if you fill it with whiskey.

Homer: "Lisa get in here."
Lisa: "Yes dad?"
Homer: "In this house we oney the laws of thermodynamics!!"

[simonharris]

"Could we achieve perpetual motion?" - No, the answer is always no.

What ramen does when trying to pour out the water:

He sounded so genuinely disappointed in *us* at the end lol
