The static electric fields on the nonconducting beads and fan were interacting to push the beads around. Try this again with a metal fan.

Air friction is not what's causing them to move around. It's static. The static between that plastic fan and those beads is going to be huge. Remove the static and they won't move except for the few that physically come in contact with a fan blade.

@@AbhinandanKumar-vq9xv electricity is the movement of charge. Static means not moving, so static electricity is charges that are building up in one spot. If you’ve ever shocked yourself on a car or other metal object, that’s a static charge building up and discharging through you. You can see it in action by rubbing a balloon in your hair then letting go of the balloon (it sticks) or rubbing your feet on carpet and touching someone else or something metal.

@@AbhinandanKumar-vq9xv Static is short for static electricity, which is just electricity not caused by moving charges. In other words it's a static or not moving charge So there's no current involved. Plastic fan will develop a charge as it rotates and the balls develop charge. Opposite charges attract while the same charge repels. So the rotating fan causes a force on the balls. So it's electricity that's moving things around not air.

@Red Nexican My exgirlfriend bought one. It is a sex toy. But she did not want it for her. She wanted to use it on me. When she came in the room looking like a human tripod, she said, "This is for you. It is to hurt you in the best way possible." She clicked the horrible looking elephant trunk wannabe, coated in a thick layer of KY, on and it made a horrible noise, like a car starter. It started to rithe and contort in an evil way. I flew up off the bed, threw on a towel, and ran out the door. I left my clothes, wallet, car, and my keys. I went to a payphone and called a taxi after a couple of miles of running. I never saw my keys, the clothes I was wearing, my wallet, my car, nor her again. No way I was going to risk that horrible Turbomolecular pump again. She could keep all the stuff Ieft. I changed my number and door locks. I had long hair and a goatee. I shaved and got a military crew cut. The woman terrified me after that. Sometimes, when I am sick and have a high fever, I have nightmares with her yelling at me as I am running away saying, "But I was going to put it in only an inch at a time! Come back!"

The current drops because the back emf increases making the actual voltage in the windings tend to 0. Without the air friction there is actually not much force the motor needs to do and so it just increases speed therotically up to the equilibrium of back emf (characteristics of the motor and speed) match the provided voltage. The inverse is that the current is maximum when the motor is stalled and doing only force with no speed and thus not having back emf. This means the motor has maximum force and current when not rotating. It is why electric cars have fantastic acceleration.

no the balls started moving at the end due to the vibrations caused by the motor with that unbalanced fan and the box, the walls of the chamber are what caused the balls to bounce around. the walls transferred the vibrations from the motor to the balls. try this again with no static and no vibrations and you will get real results.

What I found interesting, that isnt mentioned, the amperage is going down as the vacuum increases. This makes sense since as the pressure goes down, so does the lift and drag acted upon the spinning blades. This in turn reduces the amount of force needed to rotate the blades. Thus, less energy/electricity needed to spin the blades at a given voltage. Thanks for the vid!

That should be the case, yes. But only in a _complete_ vacuum, which this test was not conducted under. If you watched to the very end, he explained how the chamber was not in a _complete_ vacuum, meaning that some gas remained inside. That's why the fan had to run at a mucher higher speed in order to overcome the drag of the styrofoam beads, causing them to fly through the air. If this test was conducted in a _much greater_ vacuum, using a turbomolecular pump, the fan likely would not have been able to do anything, such as in your explanation. There are different levels of vacuum, and only a _complete_ vacuum has no gas whatsoever in it.

3:52, *If we see carefully those beads were in vacuum and they were hitting each other and the chain reaction increases untill a time comes when every bead is moving even in vacuum, well that's what the ideal gas molecules do, the air pressure inside a jar exerted to the surface of its inner wall is due to the fully elastic collisions, which keeps them from collapsing into a single point... I know there's no connection with that thing to the beads here, but hey the beads were hitting each other and that hitting cause collisions among the beads themselves, thus constantly keeping the pressure and eventually taking the whole volume of the vacuum chamber inside, just like gas molecules... But here's a point! The collisions here are not at all elastic but they're constantly getting their kinetic energy from that spinning fan by hitting into its blades, that's kinda giant model of how the ideal gas molecules behave when they're inside a closed chamber, and how they keep their pressure...* _I know many guys will not even read till this much..._ 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

The resistance inherant to the copper windings in the motor generate heat regardless of motor resistance. My guess is the heat build up warmed the output shaft so high that it started to transition the plastic blades towards a liquid, breaking the static friction holding the fan blade on the motor output shaft and allowing it to fly off. I’m pretty impressed that the motor seemed to survive that abuse.

Interesting video. As the air got thinner there would be less force from moving air if the fan were at constant speed. However, in thinner air the fan will go faster for the same applied voltage. That effect, combined with a higher applied voltage accounted for the fan being able to move the beads around even at such a low pressure. It would be interesting to know how fast that fan was turning just before the blade flew off.

@isettech

Ozone chemically takes 3 Oxygen Molecules and produces 2 Ozone molecules, so the generation of Ozone does not increase pressure. Good guess, but the chemistry math does not support the theory. It is more likely as possibilities, the lack of cooling increased the heat and the bearings, or windings broke down and released some of the magic smoke. When the motor was at very high speed, hitting the pellets, may have broken some of the cells of Styrofoam, liberating the trapped gas. With very little Oxygen present, I don't think that there was much Ozone at all. I would like to see a repeat of the experiment with a high vacuum gauge on the chamber to see the pressure rise when the snowglobe effect returned. I think that was due to a pressure rise. An electric arc from a plasma globe coil can provide the color of ionization to provide a spectrum of the gasses present. I suspect the gas would contain the gas used to form the foam beads.

He over-drove that little 3V motor with far too much voltage, causing pretty severe vibrations on the chamber floor. The motor was stressed far beyond its 3V design limit. The tiny amount of air did virtually nothing.

In addition to the turbo molecular pump is the diffusion pump, which is commonly used to draw vacuums down to 10^-6 Torr, where a Torr is 1 mm Hg or 1/760 Atm or 133 Pa. The diffusion pump works by creating a stream of oil vapor that pushes the molecules of air from the vacuum chamber away from the vacuum chamber and those air molecules are replaced by more molecules from the vacuum chamber via diffusion from the vacuum chamber to the oil vapor.

Two observations: 1 - It is very interesting to see the motor current decreasing with the increase of the vacuum rising due to the decrease of the load on the motor. 2 - It is very likely that the pieces of Styrofoam are jumping in the vacuum due to vibration of the motor at the bottom of the vacuum chamber. The sound propagating in the camera is the main support of this thesis. When the propeller detaches, the sound disappears. This propeller is probably unbalanced and caused high RPM vibration.

You actually had a crude turbo pump there with that fan spinning. If you could have gotten up to, say 30,000 RPM (and provided a passage out) you would have kept pumping. You don't really need a turbo pump, though. You could do this experiment with a diffusion pump and get low enough to stop all bead motion due to air drag. I've worked in HiVac for decades, and I'm surprised that motor continued to run. Motors overheat very quickly in a vacuum without air to cool them, plus, if that's a brush-type motor, the carbon starts oxidizing with the little air still in there, stopping any current flow.

I don't know if this was mentioned by anyone in the comments, but it is very interesting (and also makes sense) how the current draw from the motor was dropping as the air was being vacuumed out of the chamber. This is due to the air density being less over time, meaning that the propeller had less air mass to move thus decreasing the motor load. I'd be interested on what the final number of current draw was at 3 volts when the chamber was at near total vacuum.

You missed a significant clue. At atmospheric pressure, the motor was drawing 240mA at 3V (1:11). At low pressure (can't read the gage), the current had dropped to 130mA (2:09). This would be due to the motor running faster (less air drag allows the motor to run faster > generating greater back EMF > which reduces current). I would have liked to see the current at 2:50. The motor temperature was probably also going through the roof (less air > less cooling). The references to "The Martian" when the storm blowing over the rocket refer to a plot device needed to get the story going. In reality, the forces on the rocket would have been minuscule. Still, an interesting experiment.
