Boyle's Self-Flowing Flask Filled With Polyethylene Glycol (Self-Pouring Liquid) = Perpetual Motion?

Well, today I'm going to use a Boyle

self

-

flowing

flask

along with

polyethylene

glycol

, the

self

flowing

liquid

or the self-siphoning

liquid

. ​​I'm going to pour the

polyethylene

glycol

into a Boyles

flask

and see if we can really push the limits and be

perpetual

. movement okay so if you haven't seen my video on polyethylene glycol it's a really pure liquid this liquid has a molecular weight of about 1 million which means if you had one mole it would weigh a million grams and what that means essentially it is that the molecular chain is very long and so you have these very long chains and all of those chains attract each other through hydrogen bonds and what that does is that when you start

pouring

the liquid, it drags the other chains with it , so if you barely pour it, it starts to empty everything, which is why it is called self-

pouring

liquid.

Look how I emptied everything and all I did was tilt it a little bit. I didn't even pour it, so another cool thing about polyethylene glycol is that you can suck it into a syringe, but you don't even have to keep the syringe submerged in the liquid, so, for example, I start sucking it in and watch how it keeps filling up when I take it out, I fill it completely. of the liquid, so the properties of polyethylene glycol are actually more familiar than you think. If you've ever handled eggs, it's a joke. I'm not basic at all, but seriously, if you've ever handled an egg, then you've handled something similar to polyethylene glycol.

So if you've ever tried to separate an egg white, it's pretty difficult. If you start releasing a little bit of egg white, you will notice that the rest comes with it, that is because egg whites have very high molecular weight molecules. There are a lot of proteins in it and they are high molecular weight and have very good hydrogen bonds between the molecules, so it tends to take out the other molecules every time it starts to rain, so you can do the same trick with egg whites . without actually dipping the syringe into the egg whites, so what I'm going to do is pour polyethylene glycol into the Boyles flask, but before I do that, let me show you what the Boyles flask actually is with just water first, so I just have water colored. so you can see it better, okay, so what I have here is what I call the Internet version of the Boyles flask.

At the end of my video I will explain what the difference is between a real boiling flask and this one, so the idea is that once you start the liquid flowing, then you can pour it to the top of the cup and it should continue to flow, but you can see what happens with the water here is that the level of the liquid stays level with the top of the liquid in the flask. here so that the liquid in the tube stays level with the liquid and the top of the Boyles flask and so you can never get it to keep flowing up and over the top, if I try to get it to flow it will never make it.

It kind of makes it start to happen, if you turn it down, let us start flowing and then you move it quickly a little bit, it comes out, so the idea is, and I've had a lot of comments suggesting doing this, if I use polyethylene glycol. and I start to flow and then I move it up and I get it to continue to flow, so the hard part is getting the polyethylene glycol in here without the go-ahead, so you can see the reaction time in polyethylene glycol is much slower than water , if I drop it below the level of the liquid in the boiling flask, it takes a while to start flowing and then when I lift it above it, it takes a while to stop, so let's get it flowing and see if we can flow. up around the top and keep it flowing, okay, so let's see if we can make it flow, let's drop it down below, see how it flows towards the end.

I'm going to move it up, there we go it kind of flows and then it stops, so see if I dip it into the liquid now, okay, we're in continuous

motion

, what do you think you can see the bubbles? They're not moving, the liquid isn't flowing there, okay, now let's lift it up and see if we can get it. not our

perpetual

motion

, you can see it as soon as I lift it up, the liquid just comes out of the tube and reaches the exact level of the water in the flask, so what is happening here is definitely not perpetual motion, although it is flowing, but what What's happening is that it's just flowing from the top of the tube here, it's not circulating well, as I mentioned at the beginning of the video, this is actually not a true Boyle flask, Isaac upside down, ok, not all of them came out, but it looks like that flowed backwards, so as I mentioned at the beginning of the video, it's not actually a true Boyle flask, this is just the type that you see a lot on the internet and this is the type that became popular with the video. from a guy who made beer flow and a flask like this and the beer kept flowing and falling into the original flask, it turned out to be fake obviously and there was a pump pumping out the liquid so a real kid is supposed to use the jar. a very small tube at the end and its capillary action is what draws the water into the tube and they are supposed to pour it back into the original flask, so capillary action is what pushes it into the tube, but even then the Boyle flask It still won't work because for capillary action to occur you need surface tension, but it turns out that the surface tension will simply form a small drop of water at the end of the tube and you have to shake it to release it and so on I would have to continue continuously shaking it to keep letting the drops of liquid fall back into the flask, so you have to work hard to keep the liquid flowing, so that it doesn't have a perpetual motion, although this didn't work with polyethylene glycol, there is actually a liquid with the that this would work and it is liquid helium.

Liquid helium is called a superfluid and it means it has a viscosity of zero so there is no friction when it starts to flow, so once you start flowing it will continue to flow in that direction and so on. if you started flowing in one direction it would just continue to flow back, up, back, in a continuous loop and it would never stop, but even superfluids like that don't actually violate the second law of thermodynamics because you still can't extract. any work from it, so it's not like you could have this loop of liquid helium and put a little turbine on it and extract work from it, it wouldn't work that way, but you could get it to flow continuously without friction on its own, so that the Boyle flask does not.

It works whether you have a small end with capillary action or a large end like this with polyethylene glycol, it just doesn't work, what you really need is a super fluid like liquid helium.
