Can a Boat Float In Supercritical Fluid? (Stabilized Version)

In this video I turn CO2 into a supercritical fluid with a boat floating on it to see what happens when the fluid passes its critical point!

This would be really cool if you recreated it with colored dye in the fluid. Would look really interesting as the phases change!

Leaving a comment to increase engagement because I fully support the double-dipping of this video

There should be a density of boat that is less dense than the super-critical phase, yet more dense than the gas phase. This boat should still float on the liquid, but when it turns super-critical, it would float on the whole super-critical fluid, rather than just the liquid alone.

"Are you liquid or are you gas?"

"Yes" - Supercritical Fluid

Stabilized Version – continues shaking it

[conor]

You should definitely reshoot it without the shaking and with some of the suggestions about dye coloring and background patterns and stuff

This is very watchable now 🙏
I didn't realize how eyestrainy it was until i saw this version

[Back_To_Pray]

Thanks for showing how matter behaves under extreme conditions😊

[ThorneRising]

It’s a whole lot easier to see when you are NOT shaking it.

This video is so incredibly much better. Uploading it again was a great idea

[clairecelestin]

Thank you for the stabilized version. This is much more comfortable to watch.

[GuyBruiser]

You "wiggling" that super pressurized chamber relentlessly and at irregular intervals was so hard to watch. And the squeaking...

[Maker]

Even with it stabilised the constant shaking annoyed the heck out of me.

[LucasWolthuis-jd]

This would be amazing with no shaking. Like, the first time I understand you're showin something but it just never stopped PLEASE I'm tryna watch the boat float around

[steveshopworxmachine]

I know it's because of the camera's resolution but I could see the line quite clearly where as you couldn't and your shanking it continuously actually made the transition less amazing for the viewer in my opinion. I know why you were shaking it but I would love to see this again but left completely still. The high resolution video makes it much easier to see on screen than you could in person it seems.

[Myndness]

Wouldve liked you not shaking the darn thing the whole time, still... interesting interaction.

Pretty sure if I’m on a lake that suddenly went super critical that I’d already be dead from the conditions that brought about a super critical lake

That’s definitely a “You died” type experience right there

[Zytron]

The motion stabilization makes a surprisingly large difference, thanks!

This reminds me about Applied Science and his video from 12 years ago --> A close look at supercritical carbon dioxide CO2.

[IsabeauVidal]

I’ve always loved your channel, but this is one of the coolest things you’ve ever done imo! Great work!
