Can Flies Actually Fly in a Vacuum Chamber?

In this video I put flies in the vacuum chamber to see if they can fly in a low pressure environment. I also show you how I got the flies in the vacuum chamber by lowering their metabolism so that they don't move at all by putting them in the freezer. Then once in the closed chamber they warm up and come back to life. The less air there is in the vacuum chamber the higher wing speed they need to generate lift. Eventually you get to low enough pressure that the flies cannot lift off the ground! Then I talk about how we could lift off the ground if our atmosphere was as thick as Saturn's moon Titan.

this dude made hydrophobic water, cold fire, self-pouring liquid and now he's unflied-flies

[logansateia]

Imagine the flies being like "yo wtf the air stopped working"

[sophiechan]

"But that's okay, because they annoy me."

Great quote.

[masterfish]

Imagine just being a regular housefly, tossed into a cup, and then frozen for a bit, and waking up with 4 other fly homies in an strange box. Then, you realize your only cool ability is gone.

I love how people are worried that they’re gonna get hurt the flies, while my mom chases them down with an electric fly-swatter.

This man put his arm into a vacuum chamber made out of an old glass jar. That is true dedication to science.

[prdprdprdprdprdel]

"I caught 5 flies"
"Don't worry, they'll be fine"
"Look, all 4 of them are perfectly fine.."

[Loopcats]

Now those flies will go back to their friends and tell them how they were kidnapped and experimented on by aliens.

“The flies have now become walks.”

Best dad joke of all time

[lukesworld]

can we test if flies can fly "better" in a hyperbaric situation such as under 100psi of air pressure where the air should be denser

[fabricioaf]

What amazes me the most is that there are people who are worried about the well being of the flies 😤

[a_creatorsstuff]

*acuses him of torturing flies

Meanwhile anywhere on the planet
*smacks a fly with no mercy

[praveenhegde]

No fly was hurt during the making of this film, all flies are paid actors.

[paulocoelho]

The idea with the magnet to tease the flies to move around in the vacuum is really genius, only an unique mind can have such a brilliant idea!!! 😂😂🤣🤣

[jimbobrussell]

'the flies have now become walks' - this got me way more than it should have

[Xubuntu]

Not surprising: flies can't fly in a vacuum.

Mind blowing: flies are completely unharmed by a vacuum.

[Vinnan_Thamizh]

The flies would have been like : *“I can't fly? MY GOD!”*

[femthingevelyn]

the flies probably won't come back to his house, like "hell no that fucker turns off the air"
