The World's Tallest Pythagoras Cup—Does It Still Drain?

[jamesjesus]

Now make a cup that has potassium hidden inside so it explodes when you get too greedy.

"Allowing hobbyists to take on this meaningless task personally" I felt that personally.

[JustTata.H]

0:54 you should plug the hole with sodium so if they get greedy the cup will explode

lol “is this a planned event?” Sounded sophisticated af

Security Guard #1: "WTF are all these tubes in the stairwell??!!"
Security Guard #2: "Oh, Action Lab is doing another one of those science experiments."

“What happens if my greedy cup is 34 feet tall?”

That defeats the point of a greedy cup.

I got the wonderful privilege to get a handmade, ceramic Pythagoras cup from the Museum of Technology in Athens, Greece while on study abroad. Probably my best souvenir.

Friendly reminder that 3d printed material isn’t food safe off the print bed! Learn how to clean and make prints food safe before using them for food/drink!

That cup is easily made in clay (the 3d printed one). You use a wax strip to make the tube/drain tunnel. You then just fire up the clay like normal and it melts/burns out and hardens into a full-sized cup.

The criminally devious cup: Releases a spring-loaded boxing glove at the drinker when it detects greed

1:47 "I want more"
Perfect recreation of greed

[BenAlternate-zfnr]

If the cup is taller than 34', then it will start draining as usual when overfilled. However, it won't fully drain, but will stop draining when the free surface reaches 34' below the top of the siphon.

thanks now i know that when someone hands me a 33ft tall cup that i shouldn't get greedy.
A 35 foot cup however?

3:36 “be brave and make a comment about what’s going to happen”
Me who shut down my brain already: What?

[gnulnx]

3:15 When you use the word "Vacuum chamber" too much, it sticks to your brain and literally calling everything, even a vacuum pump, a vacuum chamber :D

[RetroAnts]

0:07 no way the black hole core music!

[grubzer]

Washing inside would be a nightmare though i think

[locutusborg]

Now imagine what trees have to do when they are taller than that limit ...

[westonding]

I am guessing it won’t work. But it would make for an interesting sculpture if you made such a tall cup!

[Dontlikeyellow]

If you remove all nucleation sites(places that catalyze phase transition) you can actually have negative pressure in a liquid due to the cohesive forces, this would allow for such a cup to have infinite high only limited by the cohesive forces!
