The Thought Emporium - 2019-09-05
Giveaway: https://www.circuitspecialists.com/giveaway Circuit Specialists Sonoluminescence Page: https://www.circuitspecialists.com/Sonoluminescence.html _________________________________________________________________ Sonoluminescence is probably one of the coolest phenomena you'll come across and involves conditions that over a fraction of a millisecond swing from -269C degrees to upwards of 10000C. By trapping a bubble with ultrasound you can force it to expand and then suddenly contract and in the moment of peak compression out comes a flash of light. In this video we explore how you can easily recreate this effect with very minimal hardware, and some of the other times this effects shows up, like when a mantis shrimp punches things.

A small hint: I was playing with ultrasound several years ago, when researching on how bats navigate. By accident, I had generated WAY to much ultrasound volume, which I did not hear, but deafened me temporarily above 400 Hz, and a hearing reduction above 4000 Hz which persisted quite a long time (into months) afterwards. So be careful with sound you can´t hear ;-)
Regards
PS. They tried to use this process for nuclear fusion! Btw I LOVED the Mount Stupid quote, it´s the reason I always corroborate as much source material as possible... And Gun Ho! Usually you find that a lot has simply been Copy-pasted, among other things. And by the way: don´t use an iron core for a 4 millihenry coil, that thing´s lossy as hell, Just find a ferrite rod from an old AM radio. Also feed the output from the amplifier to a tap on the coil, so the transducer and coil form a parallel circuit, be careful, because than you´ll get the nasty side-effect I had after a while lol.
Deafened you above 400 Hz and hearing reduction above 4000 Hz? I assume there's a typo of some kind there?
@James Davis No, there´s not I think? It´s been almost 10 years since that accident now, or any other tinkering with ultrasonics, now I realize the power (and dangers) these things can have and things got better. There is (was) a sharp reduction to near-zero above 4000 Hertz, and a good reduction down to 400 Hz too. It was a roughly 22 kHz square-wave with a pulse-frequency of 5-6 Hz, should figure that out with a metronome and stopwatch, so low-ultrasonic. The deafening/ringing ears was temporarily he, lasted a few days ;-) The reduction in highs however appears to be rather permanent... Thank God the PRF was so low I only got one well-focused sound pulse into my ears. If it had been prolonged exposure, you´d probably be permanently deaf.
Always, always use at least proper ear plugs when dealing with high sound frequencies, simple ear plugs are at least quite effective at cutting the highs off, and most importantly, removing destructive direct pressure to the eardrums outright.
This guy is the nerd the world needs rn
pure water: lumos
concentrated 96% sulfuric acid: lumos maxima
Harry Potter is quaking
I get that this is a joke but if anyone is curious about the actual Latin it would be closer to:
pure water: lucidum
concentrated 96% sulfuric acid: lucidissimum
So -dissimum is for "maximum"?
@trombonedude wait is that why we say maximum??
@RandomGuyOriginal no -issimum is the superlative form of an adjective, so for example fortis (strong) becomes fortissimus (strongest) or fortissimum when reference a neuter noun
1970:"cars will fly in 50 years"
2020:"I passed several hours in the dark staring at flask filled with water"
there are cars that can fly. several types. and this is 50 years after 1970. 52, but flying car working prototypes existed 2 years ago. sure they arent mass market, but they exist.
Flying cars exist today not just mass-produced.
Yeah but none of those flying cars look like what I expected and still they make it so that the ones that would actually look like a beautiful flying car which they showed prototypes of about 15 to 18 years ago you still have to take out of a landing strip of an Airfield or if you're home goes right into an Airfield ...
... in other words , for the real beautiful ones you can't just walk out your door get in your flying car and hover above the traffic oh no no no no they want you to have to deal with a bunch of BS and it's really a shame because I got so psyched years ago and they showed this beautiful flying car and you would think that someone like Elon Musk would have been the first to get it perfected and he would be the first one with a flying car but nope !
... and I want my flying car
This light color reminds me of the flashing lights in thunder storms, which as well produce a wide range of low frequency sounds.
It's really amazing how you managed to make it less complicated with the 10Khz, instead of 1Khz.
Thank you for your as usual, simply great videos!👍
There is a sonar counterpart to this study called lumisonics done by me.
Yes, you can produce sound from light
Wow. Explain yourself a little bit..
Wat is dis TECHNOLOGY?
Bruda Osas would like to know
link please
How is that different from light hitting things and heating it, or knocking out electrons?
How do you do that? Hitting a surface with a laser and use thermal expansion/evaporation/light pressure to move the object and have it generate the sound? Im intrigued.
5 years of messing with something to get it right. thats some dedication.
Try winemaking.... :)
Just like trying to woe a woman
Probably just made just enough progress once a year to keep you motivated haha
Cavitation bubbles are crazy, it's hard for this effect to be mimicked. However they are trying to do this in space with dark matter but havnt really had a breakthrough.
So far I've been trying this thing called life for 27 years. I'm getting better... I think
I'm a dummy, never even heard of a "Millihenry", but it was still very interesting to learn about these amazing sea creatures and then seeing sonoluminescence in action. It was absolutely fascinating! Soon after I was googling all these subjects to learn more, and that is the difference between a boring, overly technical video and one that is very well done. Thankyou!
OK, i have to say this is absolutely amazing!
Please please please get a hold of Slomo Guys and recreate this with their equipment, im pretty sure they would love to do so, they have shown interest in this phenomenon before but i dont think they could get this to happen and you have unlocked it. Also im guessing you wouldnt mind seeing this in slow motion right? Gav is quite skilled with his cameras.
Comment to boost this because omg this Collab would be impeccable
Edit: bruh this was 2 years ago oops
@Sea Biscuit Never know, maybe they will come across each other at some point.
You’ve used the word damn in an educational video and mentioned This Old Tony, you have earned my like button
I just went down a bit of a rabbit hole about sonoluminescence and thus sonofusion. Watching Putterman describe his team's work from a decade ago was enthralling. The idea that the light is produced in femtoseconds, and emits a blackbody spectrum (that is to say, is opaque) is mind boggling. At the end of his talk he tried to communicate the idea that proof derived from first principles is not currently needed for further research, and we should be tinkering with variables and setups, and building mathematical models, regardless of their (dis)agreement with first principles. From what I can see he's one of the few.. let's say.. level headed scientists to approach this subject. Shame that Taleyarkhan tainted the whole idea.
I want to build one of these things, and mess around with different liquids, gasses, temperatures, geometries... no one else seems to be putting much effort in, but it seems like a topic worth researching, and within the realm of citizen science.
Love your videos. Totally unique and no pointless waffle. Thanks for your dedication and posting your experiences!
I know you probably won't read this but I've been planning on attempting sonoluminescence for months and was just about to start buying the equipment when I see this video, so looks like you saved me a few years of research. LOVE your channel dude, nothing else like it
Idea for you: same concept, except a hollow acrylic cylinder, and two precisely mounted plunger-style transducers like how they levitate water drops in air, but in reverse. And blast it with lasers
How did it go? Or how is it going?
Synchronized actual realization of the being Android,so to speak, of hydrogen fusion, Water, been here on Gaia first,from the beginning! So what are these observations tempting the temptations of the last remaining "power mongers " going to lead to? It'll humersoully surprise us.
@Terry Black hard to understand what youre saying
@Maxum Profane,-
man, you guys are my favorite sci-fi-made-real channels because you make things that aren't even in scifi real with stuff that feel like it is straight out Asimov !
This was amazing. Sounds like inorder to figure exactly what is happening, temperature reading from a bigger bubble needs to happen. An enormous flask with a really big resonator. 😳 Can you imagine that?
Damn dude. People like yall are legends. Not only DOING the thing. But writing and filming it. shoooot
awesome video - I can find slow motion video of mantis shrimp strikes, but a standalone repeating cavitation bubble would be way easier to film clearly. Are you familiar with the slow mo guys channel? I would love to see this experiment under an ultra high speed camera and they might be interested in doing it.
Wow. He summed up 5 years in 27 minutes. Amazing! I bet no quantum mechanics especially can’t answer this
I think people are failing to realize how crazy cool this is
It's a fucking star in a glass. Fuck yeah it's cool. Let that sink in. This dude is replicating birth of a fucking star!
@wayfar outhere Whoa dude, chill out, it has nothing to do with a birth of a star. And birth of a star is nothing special itself really, just a bunch of gas clumping together and slowly heating up.
@ex nihilo I respect your right to think what you wish. Just like I respect my right to do the same. I feel that much of space is actually a liquid. If gas's coalescing and heating is the birth of star, then this bubble of gas that has coalesced and subsequently warmed up, I'd say that's a damn fine approximation.
YamFestival Yes it is! Have you ever heard of Gerald Pollack from WA university and his work on the '4th Phase of Water'? Its formed between the solid and liquid state where water produces some very cool unique properties. Also known as exclusion zone water, or EZ water for short. cool little rabbit hole to go down
@Shane Harlow all I can think of now is "gg ez water"
It's like the question of wether light is a wave or a particle... I don't know if someone already decided it's one over the other but theres two theories that fit, or so I was led to believe. Fun video! Thanks for adding something new to my folder of "stuff I might never use but super interesting" 😁😁😁
How much of your lighting do you think would need to be covered/turned off for the sulfuric acid version of this experiment? Also, do you think repeating this experiment but with bubbles of different gasses such as propane or maybe even sulfur hexafluoride would be worth looking into?
Cool. Never really new about this effect. You've done a great job. It makes it easier for us to recreate. Thank you yet again, sir!
Imagine putting on headphones, closing your eyes, and then seeing vivid light from the sound stimulus. What would that light be if you could control it via the sound frequency as well. For example, being able to produce colors with specific sound wavelengths/frequencies. What an experience that would be.
I don’t know if anyone has done a video on it, but triboluminescence is also very fascinating. I would love to see you do a video over it or have someone recommend one to me!

The Mt. Stupid analogy is by far the best depiction of the hobbyist struggle I've ever heard.
So many hours spent trying to even learn what you need to ask in technobabble so obscure it's like you're digging up some thousand year old lost language just to ask one question.
@Chrysippus Struggling while climbing Mt. Stupid, isn't Dunning-Kruger. Mistakenly assuming that Mt. Stupid is a gentle hill that can be climbed easily .. THAT's Dunning-Kruger.
I had this when I was trying to find out what a multiplexer was, I didn't know what it was or what it was called 😂
I’ve been having that struggle with thought mapping. Mind Maps are well established, but they’re strictly hierarchical—paltry compared to a colored graph (in the nodes (dots) and edges (connections) sense).
The closest tool to what I want is based on a concept called “The Semantic Web”, but every tool built assumes a particular use case that involves algorithmic usability, AI, communication, and plaintext definitions.
I finally found the one word that expresses what I mean to map, and boy is it ever obscure: “episememe”, referring to meaning*, rather than actual words that signify meaning. And even *episememe was created for use in linguistic fields. *EDIT*: crap, it’s not called an episememe. Man this is difficult.
Good thing is that once you finally find it you wont forget it easily and actually understand it.
@atimholt epithemy
at first you lost me with the techno stuff, but your methodology had me wanting more, despite you answering what would have been my first question about adding dye to the solution, i would love to see a larger version and to find out how harness the energy, your 5 year dedication to this project has inspired someone ! 👍🏿
Id be interested to see this done on a larger scale as well. Or perhaps just creating a way to add a larger sized bubble to see if the same outcome happened. Thanks a lot for taking the time on this experiment and sharing it.
you're doing an immense service to the public. it is very much appreciated.
Brilliant video, I really should have carried on with the electronics at college but thanks to you and other's who did, I can still learn, thank you and I couldn't help think when you said about sitting in the dark and bubbles,, a song with a lyric change popped into my mind,, I'm forever(blowing up) lighting bubbles❤️👍
Insane man! I'm pretty sure the light source is hydrogen atoms being stripped from the water by the ultrasonic frequencies and burned.
It reminds me of Stanley Meyer's hydrogen electrolysis method, which had used high voltage/low amp electrolysis tuned to create standing waves in a ceramic cavity, which stripped off hydrogen such a fast and efficient rate he caught the gov's attention and is deceased. It would be awesome if you could make a pt 2 and recreate stanley meyer's work
This is one of the coolest properties of physics to me - along with the Piezo-electric effect. It really makes me wonder how many strange concepts there are like these if someone could just think to do them. I would love nothing more than to be like a multi-discipline theoretical scientist and just try to find strange effects and concepts like these.
So far the piezo-electric sonoluminescent engine has not been created by our imagination. But I suspect the blueprint is sitting in the Scriptures found in Ezekiel 28:13 - this strange thing is a musical instrument?
This is one of the very best science channels on YouTube for sure. I love how you explain everything in a way where it's pretty easy to understand, and it's pretty easy to find the information on the things I don't quite understand.
And he says it so calm. I would be "YES IT'S A LITTLE BU" and when I finish that rant, I say "Sorry mom, I believe I covered that already."
I would be interested in seeing what happens if you were to attempt to microwave the bubble during the luminescence cycle.
I have a feeling the result would resemble a 'fusion' reaction if only for a nanosecond. It's easy to get the magneto out of a microwave for such an experiment.
Ah! My friend at uni was trying to make this happen as well. Trying for a year, almost every day... I wonder if he ended up succeeding like you did, after a few more days :D. He gave us a presentation about possible theory behind it, super fascinating. It's super thrilling to finally see it working!
Hi, can you measure the wavelength? I think one could learn a lot with this information. Also: great video!
I had a an idea after watching a video about fusion, and how there was a company that was inspired by the pistol shrimp. They are using lasers to create cavitation in order to start the fusion plasma. As such I would love to see the effects if it were to be performed using deuterium (heavy water).
Really nice work! How did you get the idea to ditch the typical 2 transducer setup?
Thanks :) there was a couple images on Google with only 1 so figured I'd try it and sure enough worked like a charm. Also some of the professional setups just used 1 and a tubular container so I figured if it worked for that it could work with the round bottom flask too
@The Thought Emporium I've read about one experiment where they successfully managed to go overunity with ultrasound and sonoluminesence
@The Thought Emporiumpls do look into this strange nozzle called vortex cooling pipe.
"Huh, I found a far easier way to conduct this obscure and complex experiment by simply googling it" Damn, I love the future.
@Dwij Gurram 🤦
You pave a path for everyone. Props to you
I came across sonoluminescence when I was doing a project on cavitation. It is fascinating and not something I had ever heard of before. Great video!
Thanks for this video. Great work. Do you think is it possible to make a big version of this as part of an audio visual experiment?
All your videos are actually crazy, they are so interesting and i feel very inspired. We need people to study the subjects of your videos, the future is looking bright!
It would be cool the capture the sound of the light.
Have you also tried prisms to see what colors come out of it?
Thanks!
I've been wanting to do this experiment for 20 years since I first read about it. Thanks for doing all the hard work and documenting whats needed. I hope I win as this would allow me to finally do this myself and then experiment from there.
You went to the noble gas as factor and down the rabbit hole of the Papp engine. Plasma and the 4th state of water. Driving around the complexity and materials sourcing traps finding a simple available set up hats off to you. WELL DONE
Absolutely Fantastic! Thanks for all your hard work and posting this video!🤓
This is fascinating man... I actually seen some lite coming out of water in key marathon in 2012 and it stunned me I been wondering how that occurred it was making a glo green and swirl and disappeared
I was hoping this could be something we could "do at home", but it seems much more intricate. And all to see a small flash which we could probably get from touching some wires together xD
Thank you for sharing your experiment, methods and results. I found it very interesting.
This is really interesting. I’m the head of my school science club and we’ve been looking to do an experiment like this for this semester. I’m definitely gonna propose this.
I recently binge watched 9 seasons of Letterkenny, the narrator sounds like Jared Keeso, and now I feel like I'm getting science lessons from Wayne. This is so awesome. Pitter patter bud, let the knowledge resume. 👍

If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend checking out Applied Science. It's right up your alley if you like videos about difficult science. It would be a safe bet if you're watching these, you've already seen Applied Science, but I only just found this channel last night, and have been watching Applied science for years, so you never know.
