Marshmallow Man has been convicted and has been
sentenced to death by vacuum. This amazing video
demonstrates what would happen to a marshmallow man in
space.
Mallomars
Transformers
When Mallomars are placed into a vacuum they go
through a cool transformation. The marshmallow inside
expands and breaks throught the chocolate coating.
Interestingly, when the pressure
is reapplied the mallomars go back to its original
cookie shape.
Vacuum Chamber Project #1
Shaving Cream Shaving cream is placed into a vacuum chamber, then the vacuum is
turned on. The chemicals are arranged such that there are many pockets
of air trapped inside the shaving cream. The air
pockets in shaving cream will expand in a vacuum. As the pressure
gradually decreases the volume of the shaving cream get bigger and
eventually fills the jar. This is a great example of Boyle's Law which
shows an indirect relationship between pressure and volume.
Vacuum Chamber
Project #2 Boiling @ Room Temperature
Can water boil at room temperature? For water molecules to
escape from a liquid and become a gas they have to overcome atmospheric
pressure. ... Ordinarily,
that means that you have to heat the water up to 100 degrees Celsius,
where its internal (vapor) pressure becomes 1 Atm. However if the
atmosphric pressure is lowered (like in a vacuum jar) the water can boil
at a much lower temperature.
Vacuum
Chamber Project #3 Inflating a Balloon
A partially filled balloon is placed into a
vacuum chamber. Whe the vacuum is turned on the pressure
exerted on the balloon decreases and the balloon can
expand until the bell jar is
completely filled. When the air is allowed back in the
jar, the pressure is reestablished and the balloon
returns to its original volume. This is a great example
of Boyle's Law which shows an indirect relationship
between pressure and volume.
Vacuum Chamber Project #4
Freezing while Boiling @ Room Temperature
This can actually happen. It seems unnatural, but the laws of
physics don't lie. Liquids require heat to boil, and if the conditions
are right one liquid can be boiled in order to
freeze a second. Under a vacuum, the water in an acetone/water mixure
can freeze while the acetone boils. Watch the video and see for
yourself.
Imaginationland
Creatures in a Vacuum
These cute creatures from Imaginationland are
truely evil and are sentenced to the VACUUM CHAMBER.
Watch Boyle's Law in action as these marshmallow
creatures get what is coming to
them.
A
Broken Heart For Valentine's Day
Watch my heart get broken just in time for
Valentines Day. A marshmallow filled chocolate heart is
placed into a vacuum and allowed to expand. Then I let
my heart get crushed when the air
is let back in. Kind of like what happens in life.
