What if you funneled Niagara Falls through a straw?

"Check how hard can I can pee" moment

PowerWash simulator devs, take notes.

So, basically, the Empire could have skipped the whole kyber crystal hunting and ruining a planet to get whatever the stuff is that they needed in Andor season 2, and just mount a water jet on the Death Star!

Finally Another Video... where the World is destroyed...😂🔥☠

It's hard to overstate just how much energy a thing with relatively normal mass can have when moving at relativistic speed. Even ignoring the things that come with moving at those speeds, the most basic (and in this case fairly inaccurate because things very much change at these scales) equation for energy of a given mass moving at a given velocity has an exponent on its velocity. 5 squared is 25. 5 billion squared is a quintillion times that. So even without doing the math the ridiculous outcome of accelerating a gargantuan amount of relatively dense stuff to even moderately relativistic speeds should not come as a surprise. There is a common thought experiment on long distance space warfare based on that concept for that exact reason. The difference between an RKKV (relativistic kinetic kill vehicle) and what's being described here is that one has the mass of a high rise and the other has the mass of Niagara Falls.

Mixing cfs with mm . . . hurts my head . . .

It would probably explode from all the pressure

The further you went the more i giggled.

This is the last straw 😂

What if I had a teaspoon of a neutron star?

i dont think i wanna do it anymore considering i'd get into trouble with the international niagara committee

This question brings back memories of a certain Amazon review...

So in theory, if we didn't accelerate the stream actively but just build a high enough dam to hold it untill the pressure was "naturally" high enough to theoretically burst water at that 0.25c trough a straw at the bottom of it to stop more water piling.... How high would it be? Does it fit our solar system or?

Gotta admit it would be cool to send water across a continent at +1000m/s with a lot of it for backpressure.

All those people would be very upset, but i think David would be pleased, and that matters

If there is a god, it's water, the "I can do what I want emotional, no I don't need a jacket" molecule.

okay but the real question is, what would happen to niagara falls if it broke the law by going over the flow rate mandated by law?

another video, another destroy of planet in very fun and exciting way

This ending also reminded me of the efforts to engineer the Death Star and they didn't think they could have used 🌊!

Now I know how to turrn niagra falls into a doomsday weapon for when I get sick of people, thanks!

Wow. That escalated quickly. Like that got out of hand fast.

I think I've only seen 1 video of "what if" that didn't result in the earth getting destroyed.

❤

Dude forgot to mention that the paper straw would have dissolved in 0.00000001 seconds.

IF we would take giant chunk of space ice (Futurama style) and drop it in middle of previous Aral sea, how much ice would we need and what would implications be for climate change if we could make artificial glacier that big? Chunk would need to be enough to re-fill whole Aral sea area, which would probably take several decades to melt, which should technically cool area down, but would it be local effect only or would it affect the general climate as well?

When it's xkcd World ending scenario are quite normal

Agh, you mixed imperial and metric units!

7mm diameter straws holy shit... I guess everything IS supersized in the USA!

It's always fun to destroy the world.

this one really tickled me with the visuals, so much. i love and appreciate every one of these you upload!

how to buuild the death star

so your telling me we can have fusion energy soon?

but what if it was a crazy straw with a loop-de-loop

So it could be done?

Mixing cubic feet and mm 🤢

"This is the final straw" why yes. yes, it is. At least manmade straws. I wonder what gave it away... is the lack of a planet and humanity by extension or something?

😂 This made me laugh so much, huge thanks, for a brilliant start to the day 👍👌😄

Not what I was expecting but the algorithm giveth

Did you really just use "cubic FEET per second" over "mm squared" and get meters/second? WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?

Well then. Truth can be stranger than fiction.

11 hour

Long story short someone asked, someone did the math, their calculator gave them a number the E in it, so ie, end of the world

I think the straw would break

As a resident of Buffalo, which would be among the first areas completely obliterated by water flowing this fast, I'm happy this isn't possible. I like being alive.

This was, by far, your funniest video. And I absolutely adore all of the entries on this channel. Keep up the phenomenal work.

ANSWER THE GAWD DAMM QUESTION!!! ENOUGH ABOUT LAWYERS
