The drinking bird literally has to be tipped into water

[TheOfficialOriginalChad]

6:28 Tyler, bless your heart. The drinking bird needs a drink to dip its nose in to work.

Try reading the instruction on the drinking bird. It needs a glass of water to drink from. You dip the head into the glass, then set the bird to the side so its beak dips in the water each time it tips over. The evaporating water causes a temperature difference between the head and body and causes the fluid inside to bubble to the top. Then it tips again and rewets the beak for the next cycle. It will continue as long as you keep enough water in the glass for the beak to rewet itself. It is not perpetual motion because it needs to keep having water added to the glass.

That noise from the wireless light bulb is the soul of the Chinese worker who died making it

The levitating light bulb base contains an electromagnet. When you unplug it, there is still energy stored in the magnetic field, which causes the delay as the magnetic field collapses due to resistance. I used to have one of those gyroscopes.

Sterling engines don't go faster and faster because of the power of the heat source underneath them. They spin really fast because of the temperature difference between the two metal plates. If you want them to spin really fast, put the engine on top of a cup of boiling water and put some dry ice on the top plate 😉

The drinking bird needs water.

You are either a brilliant troll, or….

What is your super power?
Tyler: I can hear magnets.

The little bulb with the black squares in it is Crookes Radiometer. Inside the bulb is a vacuum but not a perfect vacuum. The black side of the squares then absorb more infrared radiation than the white side which in turn causes the black side to get hotter than the white. Once this happens the very small amount of air still inside will rise from the black square causing a minuscule amount of thrust and since there’s a vacuum there’s hardly any air resistance to slow it down. It was invented to show off a new window pane technology that blocked heat from the sun for a demo home. Since the radiometer works off of infrared energy. I suggest using a toaster oven or space heater that uses a quartz element to really make it spin once the quartz rods fully heat up they will emit a lot of infrared energy even a campfire would work.

13:45 Floating light: there is in fact electricity being passed through the base to the light bulb. There is an electromagnet in the base, which is also acting as a wireless power inducer. Much like the wireless chargers in phones. It is repelling against a permanent magnet in the base of the bulb, which also has an induction antenna. That antenna is is conveying power to the LED "filaments" in the bulb. The switch on the base turns off the transmitting coil which turns off the power to the induction coil in the bulb base. The switch activates and deactivates due to electromagnetic induction and interference which is why you don't actually have to touch the swithc.

The drinking bird needs a drink.... it's a chemistry demonstration. Get its head wet.

[jestucker]

Fun fact Stirling Engines were often attached to candle lanterns or oil lamps to spin small fans to circulate air in rooms when the lights "were on."

[elmadicine]

aww poor drinking bird! what a classic. due to traditionally poor quality control it can be hard to get them going even if you do have a proper cup of water, but once they do, they really will just keep going until the water runs dry

[danlargent]

The bird needs water to dip its head in... Didn't you ever see the episode of The Simpsons where Homer left that bird to keep typing the y key on his computer to answer yes as he took off to do other things and the bird fell over and there was almost a nuclear meltdown 😅

[mazerinthemage]

I love when he gets angry about something that he is using wrong not working XD

17:24 That is a Crookes Radiometer also known as a Solar Engine. This doesn't rely on heating to operate, rather the rotor and flaps are inside a vacuum. When light hits the black surface, due to photon interactions with the surface material, the photon's momentum is transferred to the rotor flap. While some thermal expansion does occur, there is no medium inside the bulb to create thrust through thermal expansion. The entire unit operates solely from photon momentum exchange. In effect each of the flaps is a solar sail. Each of these Solar Engines actually have a maximal rotational speed, based on the surface area of the sails, their radial position relative to the spindle, and the maximal energy they can interact with the lights. In this case, assuming perfect interaction, and virtually no friction with the central spindle, this unit can reach approximately a rotational velocity of 1, 200 RPM, or 125-126 rad/s. This unit will not exceed this amount, no matter how many lumens you throw at it. Although if you tested with lasers, it might exceed this limit briefly.

the heat plate toy surges because the heat plate itself is surging. shuts itself off once it reaches "temp"

Tyler you have the legs on the bird backwards first of all. The bird needs to dip it's head/beak in a cup of water. It works on thermal dynamics. The bulb heats up in the sun pushing the liquid up into the head. The fuzzy head dips in the water gets wet evaporates and cools causing the liquid to go back to the bottom as internal pressure decreases. works great in a sunny window. I'm 59 and had them as a kid. When I was a kid we had toys teaching us thermal dynamics, Gyroscopic principles, Erecter sets, chemistry sets, etc. the kids nowadays are eating Tide Pods! We ain't the same!
