Luckily i had a pencil sitting in a dish of salt since last night
Same. Always good to be prepared, just in case.
wait did he not even use it
@@PurpleViking221 He did use it, it was presented on the video. It did not do anything, but it was there.
@@headmetwall thx
@@PurpleViking221 That pencil is very useful in getting comments in the comment section.

No, they have to be salted the night before, if you oversalt or pre-salt them it will cause a nuclear reaction and cause the heat death of the universe
Thats an impressive nuclear reaction
I've found that this experiment works much better with just half a teaspoon of cinnamon
I ran out of cinnamon on my roll back can. Had to use cardamom instead. Just to be safe I poured the whole jar in a giant spoon.
you madlad
I also found that orange tape works best
@@bdemaree if you ran out of cinnamon then just use some cianide, it doesnt matter if u spill some of it, you can just lick it off, tastes great!

I cooked the pencil at 375 for 35 minutes. Seemed to work best for me. Let me know what results you guys found out with your experiments!
What unit though? Kelvins?
Aadirockstar CPI no, it’s “375 for”. Like the old saying, “ what a beautiful day it must be 40 for, outside”.
Aadirockstar CPI Rankine, obviously.
I did 350 for 35 minutes and that also pretty much did the job. The effect of its rigidity at that cook time had an effect that I wasn’t expecting but I wouldn’t call it a game breaker.
Hannah can you please leak the unedited footage of Michael Stevens pouring water into a bottle. I'd like to experience the unedited water pouring please. Thank you very much.

This gave me an irl laugh, gg
man, my pencil didn't stay long enough in the salt, now my empty ketchup packet won't float at all... It's definitely the salt, or maybe the cinnamon wasn't exactly 1 teacup...
well your problem is that you need one teaspoon of cinnamon not one teacup.
"one teacup"
My pencil stayed for too long in the salt. Had to go to a hospital. Man, it burns.
Was the tape vynyl or was it a plastic tape?
The problem is the fact that your packets are empty

If it's anything like his vsauce password, I'll have to use my salted pencil for something else
no. its just a joke....
Source: Trust me bro
Last time I tried this I forgot to leave my pencil in salt overnight and the experiment failed. It's a crucial step that I'd often overlooked, so I thank you for the clarification.
Just say "hey vsause Michael here" I don't care if its Dong or anything !!! I miss that so much !!!
100% Agreed.
Then go watch a compilation of him saying it.

Moral of the story: Never order all the things in an experiment, before watching the complete video. It's definitely betrayal..😁
I swear I feel like Michael is slowly becomming more and more insane

He's just self-aware of his meme status and embraces it.

May I ask why?
@@DatDuckOfficial no
Pai You really pulled out the Gat-damn reference card
@Daniel Kintigh all the money they get from the subscription boxes are donated to Alzheimer's research. They make absolutely no profit out of them. There's nothing shameful about those. [EDIT] oh, I just checked on their website, it actually is just portion of all profits that is donated. Still, it's a very good cause. Nonetheless, they would probably need money to MAKE the boxes to begin with...

Cinnamon, sugar cubes, paper clips, toothpicks, assorted tape and a salted pencil. That was for what exactly? Michael? Hello?
It was to make a Cartesian diver.
Didn’t you watch? They are the supplies you need to take it
It was to do the thing.
Hi
For people like you to ask.
This brings back some really old childhood memories - back in the day, nose drops used to come with a tiny glass pipette separate from the bottle/lid. No issue with finding the right sauce - just evacuate the right amount of air from the pipette. You could calibrate is precisely enough to not even need a squeezable bottle, just filling a glass one to the brim a pressing on the bottleneck was enough to send the diver down.

Ok, I paused the video and got all of the stuff, now I am ready to watch the rest of the video. It took me some time to find some of the things I had around the house and my car broke down a few days ago so I had to walk to the store to get a few things. It wasn't snowing that bad but it was pretty cold but now thankfully I have everything I need!
I think you are awesome. I love how you have started taking a bit of obscure humor and sprinkling it into your videos. You manage to keep things moving so smoothly and then BAM! obscurity, you seem to have it down too, I'm always just as tuned in as before you throw in some humor. keep up the good work!

*I think thats the same water he boiled in previous video..*
Nahh, it's different water but it was boiled for safety.
Sarcasm good reference 👌🏻
you could see him filling the bottle in the water boiling video, thats proof its the same water
He probably froze it after he boiled it to save it for later
5 minuets in and I am wondering when he's going to use all the other stuff he mentioned.
10 minutes in and I am wondering the same thing.
@@ohhatu8081 20 minutes in, and I think... though I might be wrong... he might not actually need all those ingredients
An hour in, I'm starting to doubt that he's gonna use them at all!
I've watched 10 times now and if you look very closely you can see him use them at exactly 6:57. They are his audience for his ketchup packet trick.
Don't worry everyone I heard there is a part two that is going to clear it all up for us
Teacher: “What are you laughing at?” Me: “nothing” My brain: 6:56
In the late 70's I was given a toy like this by my Aunt. The diver was a sub. It had a book or claw on it. There were little treasures on the bottom so you had to squeeze and catch one of the items. Like a lot of families we didn't have a lot, so you remember the gifts like this that stand out. Thank you Aunt Doreen.

At first I thought ketchup was the best for the “diver” since blood is red and humans spill blood when they get cut
Woah! Look at all those materials! This is definitely gonna be a cool science project :D
I have always used a ball-point pen cap with a little lump of plasticine covering the hole, adjusting the amount of plasticine to create slightly positive buoyancy. Works a treat.

@@x_x5009 to stick in your arse to pass the time
Instructions unclear, dog is now stuck in plastic bottle
I think Michael is just using that salted pencil as a source of energy for his magic
for this experiment, you will need: • Water, 35 liters • Carbon, 20 kilograms • Ammonia, 4 liters • Lime, 1.5 kilograms • Phosphorous, 800 grams • Salt, 250 grams • Saltpeter, 100 grams • Sulfur, 80 grams • Fluorine, 7.5 grams • Iron, 5 grams • Silicon, 3 grams And trace amounts of more than a dozen other elements.
JigHardy bruh
Some minor human sacrifice may be required
I didn't understand the instructions, now I have a sticky salty ketchup pencil that won't sink.
The materials to make a Cartesian Diver made it sound so exiting and interesting, but to my surprise no ground cinnamon, sugar cubes, paper clips, tooth picks, tapes, or a pencil that has been left over night in a dish of salt were not used in the making of this. My curiosity has not been satisfied.
Man do I love Michael’s toys

Alright, i just put the pencil into the salt for tomorrow!
I personally find that vsauce works the best.
This guy has such a quirky sense of humour...he's pretty awesome. His videos used to annoy me and I'd switch to another channel - but the more you watch, the more he grows on you! As a high school physics teacher, I also like the casual way he introduces physics concepts in a natural way, without people even realising they're being prepared for a more formal education in physics later on. The size of the buoyant force, pressure, forces having directions, gases being compressible and liquids not,...there's a lot to "unpack" here ; ) Another good one is his video on the rolling-back cylinder toy (elastic potential energy, mass having momentum and resisting change in motion, ...good stuff).
If I got a dime every time he said perfect... I wouldn't be that rich
