How long can Andy keep his boat afloat on a fluidised bed of sand?
Aided by a troop of floating objects Andy dusts off the fluidised bed, a classic piece of Ri demonstration kit handed down from the 1950s.

Tales from the crypt
😮
I REALLY want to touch that.
BUILD A SWIMMING POOL WITH THAT SAND AND COMPRESSOR
Can you imagine this,but on a bigger scale?
i imagine the pain of drowning in fluidised sand
it was normal air or a special gas like helio? It's a good experiment and I'll try at school so I need to know what it is
I found this adorable for some reason.
Physics. Exe has stopped working.
So you would sink on a beach during a earthquake?
open a tank of highly pressuriesed air like a jug of milk
seems legit
If you were to get in a big tub of this (sounds very dangerous i know.. quick sand xD), can you use a filter mask and breathe under the "water" sand?
I also have 2 balls
Is it just me or he kinda look like peewee herman…?
youll float too !
its midnight and Im watching a man play with sand
yayyyyyy
0:33 he got two balls.Theyre really heavy
Could you use sound waves to do this? Like if you put a speaker under the sand to excite the particles instead of air could you liquidize the sand?
noob y u waste money with compressed air from a tank, get a fking compressor
witchcraft, lynch the man
Wait what is that was in a pool… would you drown and not be able to swim?
Does this thing have something to do with buoyant force?
i'm here right after watching Physics Girl
Anakin Skywalker would hate this
Why not market this as a toy for children?
The sandpit just got an upgrade.
man looks like hes about to sneeze perpetually.
WHAT ARE THOOOOSE!! 2:00
Soemone should do the liquid sand bath challenge
can you use a hair dryer instead?
Does fluidized sand have surface tension?
this guy sounds like he's constantly out of breath with a stuffy nose.
Can you make it with a vibrating thing on the bottom like speaker and play a frequency like the right frequency and make the same thing as shown in the video?
you should totally do this by some kinda gas and lit it up and see if its gonna look like lava, or lava light.
but how does it feel?
Imagine creating a boat that releases large amounts of air beneath it and sailing in a desert
Hey what other cool things are in there??
what if you swam in it?
Solid + air = water
Air + water = solid
Solid + water = air
Want to grind away your caliouses.
How to make a sand work
04:42 – What ever floats you boat!
Desert, natural gas/water, and Earthquake. Holishit! Quicksand is real.
no mention at all for the industrial uses of it ?
Sad.
What if you do the opposite with water? If you put water in a vacuum does it turn to ice?
Can you get the sand out of your pipes? and How?
