Do not rush to throw away empty bottles that have accumulated after the holidays, you can do one spectacular experiment with them. You will need a container of water. Pour some water into the bottle itself. Then put it in the microwave for one and a half to two minutes to bring to a boil. Then we carefully take it out, without lifting the neck up so that the steam does not come out.
Dip into a container of water. If you do everything quickly, you can observe the reverse process: the condensation of steam and filling the bottle with water. Nothing worked at the beginning. Condensation was somehow sluggish and uninteresting. The experimenter changed the heating time and the amount of water from the bottle, took in colder water, but this did not change the picture.
The critical parameter was the glass temperature of the bottle itself. The more it heats up, the slower the process of steam condensation. With a small bottle, everything was completely bad ... Everything turned out only in the evening ...
It is certainly not a vacuum. But the underpressure is quite decent. And most importantly, simple and clear to understand.

Igor Beletsky
+ enikeys4ik yes, it was the first time, I even put plastic on the bottom of the vase so as not to break it, but it sticks to the neck and does not allow water to be absorbed. Not everything is as easy to do as it might seem in a short video.
Peolepol
+mvandreymv The steam in the bottle displaced the air, when the bottle was lowered into the water, it sucked in water as a result of the formation of condensate (steam turned into water), some emptiness formed. As they said in the video: “Nature does not like emptiness. ”
Das
+ peolepol as I understand it, there is not a set of water in the bottle being observed, but a sharp zilch, which turned out 2 times in the video. What is it, why is it happening and what's the catch - I also could not understand.
Airaleais
+ker arkad the steam cools evenly in the bottle, and at a certain temperature it begins to condense, drawing in water accelerates the condensation process, water bursts into the container even faster, at a certain moment all the steam simultaneously in all areas drops to the condensation temperature, which is why it soaks up water so sharply.
Kovalev Lev
+ker arkad water vapor displaced air. When the bottle was dipped in cold water, the steam began to condense, and there was almost no air in the bottle. Thus, the pressure in the bottle drops sharply, and the external atmospheric pressure pushes the water into the bottle.
maxim tepluk
there was an idea to try to achieve a good vacuum in a sealed vessel due to chemical reactions. For example, a vessel to be evacuated should be purged with oxygen, displacing air from it. Then seal. And the final step is to convert the oxygen contained in the closed vessel into a solid substance of some kind of oxide, maybe a metal. For example, to burn with an electric current a wire spiral placed in a vessel in advance.
Petr Timchenko
but drawing water into a bottle is not so interesting, it will be much more interesting to attach a pressure-vacuum gauge to the tank and detect a “dry” rarefaction with external cooling of the tank and internal condensation of vapors in the mixture.

Wow, got it right the first time! True, when the zilch happened. I took a bottle of quail vodka, 0.7l. He poured so that the lying did not spill out. Heating time - 3 minutes at max power.

I am delighted. Already scared my wife too. Recently I showed my son how to put an egg in a bottle - he is 7 years old, and I tried to explain the expansion / compressibility of gases. But this effect is much more spectacular (although it is not related to compressibility, but you can be cunning). I am grateful to you - I have like and subscribed already.

there will be no deep vacuum here, not even close! Mislead people. But people's interest in such experiments is increasing.
It's already good.
steppeez
Well, a water-steam vacuum of such depth is not enough to even ignite a smoldering electric discharge in it. And it’s also not clear in this video that water (it’s not even fine dust of snow crystals) gushing into the volume of the bottle is not through a nozzle brought to perfection and without fine spraying of the refrigerant in the volume of the bottle, i.e. not in the way it is arranged in workers chambers of vacuum steam-breathing heat engines.

An example of the operation of Dalton's law: "the pressure of a mixture is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of its constituent components." Air-water vapor mixture. During condensation, the partial pressure of the vapor decreases, while the air remains constant. The mixture loses its total pressure and a vacuum occurs. A greater vacuum in the vessel can be achieved by condensing the air itself, and then there will be a real “supervacuum” (within the limits of the possibility of physics). I did not watch the video in principle in order to analyze the situation myself.
Anatoly parkhomenko
what does it mean when it rains - rarefaction? Or in this case, the steam replaced the air and, having fallen into the condensate, dragged the liquid along with it? The steam has completely displaced the air and the pressure of the steam is less than that of the air, the pressure difference squeezes water into the bottle! Cool!
Eugene e.
As soon as you start to heat it, it will immediately boil - i.e. Part of the water from the liquid will quickly turn into steam, the pressures will equalize and the “boiling” will stop until the next increase in temperature.
The explanation is simple - boiling begins when the saturated vapor pressure becomes equal to the external pressure.
Eugene e.
That is, in a bottle, vapor and liquid will be in thermodynamic equilibrium - how many molecules fly from liquid to vapor, the same number will fly back. If the temperature is raised, the rate of evaporation will be greater than the rate of condensation.
If the temperature is raised slowly, then bubbles may not be seen, since there is enough surface area to provide the desired evaporation rate. If you increase it quickly, then bubbles will go - the very “boiling”
ivan88587
no, it’s not air that draws water, because air is not steam, it does not condense when cooled and does not create a vacuum. Steam is heavier than air and displaces it in any boiling container, and then, if the container is closed, condensing into water, it forms a vacuum.
gustafa111
from this series: we take a 200l barrel (for example, from a solvent), fill it with water, boil it (you can immediately catch steam there, it’s easier) and let it cool (with the lid closed!), It’s important not to touch it until it cools down) then we throw a stone at it and it collapses, (while tearing the fabric of the universe, forming a black hole, which will swallow the earth). By the way, very spectacular.

I also invented different ways to get a vacuum, remade a bicycle pump, etc. And then I bought this thing http: //lavrplus. Prom. Ua/p52544665-vacuumnyj-nasos-2rs. HTML
True, it cost 1200 hryvnia in 2013, and not 2700, as it is now. This pump creates a vacuum that is sufficient, for example, for experiments on boiling water at a temperature of only 2 - 3 degrees. And if you need a high vacuum, as in a kinescope, you also need a turbomolecular pump, unfortunately, its price is not affordable for a mere mortal, about 20 thousand hryvnias.
High vacuum became available to people only some 120 - 150 years ago. It’s hard to believe, such a simple and at the same time difficult to achieve substance.

the effect is not well explained, i.e. what causes the vacuum in the bottle? As a result of the fact that water is heated, and air is heated from contact with it, then it expands and is forced out of the bottle?
Petrogor
+ Andrey Rybin To understand, you need to pay attention to how water vapor differs from air. Steam, when water boils, displaces all the air from the bottle and in fact there is almost no air left in the bottle. The bottle contains only water in the gaseous state. When water passes from a gaseous state to a liquid state, a rarefaction occurs.
Mikhail Poluchankin
I didn’t understand why, how it turns out, but if you heat the bottle in oil to 120″ and do the same? Probably burst. I have not woken up yet, but something seems to me that in order for steam to form, a hot, dry surface is needed. And in the video, you are in a hurry to drain the water, while the bottle is moistened, the water rises smoothly, and when it comes to a dry surface, steam is formed.

it is possible to make an efficient vacuum pump for pumping air in large volumes. It is necessary to lead a thin tube from the steam generator into a strong container, coaxial valves block the steam supply pipe and switch the volume of the container to the pumped circuit. After that, the container must be cooled to condensation and the valves must be switched back. The installation can be easily scaled up by a factor of two by installing a similar tank with valves in antiphase.

18 grams of water in a gaseous state at atmospheric pressure occupies a volume of 22.4 liters

Mountains attract people with their beauty and grandeur. Ancient, like eternity itself, beautiful, mysterious, bewitching the mind and heart, they do not leave anyone indifferent. Breathtaking views of mountain peaks covered with never-melting snow, slopes covered with forests, alpine meadows are pulling back everyone who has spent a vacation in the mountains at least once.
It has long been observed that people in the mountains live longer than in the plains. Many of them, living to a ripe old age, retain good spirits and clarity of mind. They get sick less and recover faster after illnesses. Women of the middle mountains retain the ability to bear children much longer than women of the plains.
Breathtaking views of the mountains are complemented by the purest air, which is so pleasant to breathe in deeply. Mountain air clean and filled with aromas of healing herbs and flowers. It does not contain dust, industrial soot and exhaust gases. They breathe easily and it seems that you can not breathe in any way.
Mountains attract a person not only with their beauty and grandeur, but also with a steady improvement in well-being, a noticeable increase in efficiency, a surge of strength and energy. In the mountains, the air pressure is less than in the plains. At an altitude of 4 kilometers, the pressure is 460 mmHg, and at an altitude of 6 km - 350 mmHg. With an increase in altitude, the air density decreases, and the amount of oxygen in the inhaled volume decreases accordingly, but paradoxically, this has a positive effect on human health.
Oxygen oxidizes our body, contributes to aging and the occurrence of a host of diseases. At the same time, without it, life is impossible. Therefore, if we want to significantly extend life, we need to achieve a reduction in the flow of oxygen into the body, but not too little and not too much. In the first case, there will be no therapeutic effect, and in the second case, you can harm yourself. Such a golden mean is the mountain air of the middle mountains: 1200 - 1500 meters above sea level, where the oxygen content is approximately 10%.
At present, it has already been clearly established that there is only one factor that prolongs a person's life in the mountains - this is mountain air, the oxygen content of which is lowered and this has a highly beneficial effect on the body.
The lack of oxygen causes a restructuring in the work of various body systems (cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous), causes the reserve forces to turn on. This, as it turned out, is a very effective, inexpensive, and most importantly affordable way for everyone to restore and improve health. When the amount of oxygen in the inhaled air decreases, a signal about this is transmitted through special receptors to the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata, and from there it goes to the muscles. The work of the chest and lungs intensifies, the person begins to breathe more often, respectively, the ventilation of the lungs and the delivery of oxygen to the blood improve. There is an increase in heart rate, which increases blood circulation, and oxygen reaches the tissues faster. This is facilitated by the release of new red blood cells into the blood, and, consequently, the hemoglobin contained in them.
This explains the beneficial effect of mountain air on a person's vitality. Coming to the mountain resorts, many notice that their mood improves, their vitality is activated.
But if you climb higher into the mountains, where the mountain air contains even less oxygen, the body will react to its lack in a completely different way. Hypoxia (lack of oxygen) will already be dangerous, and the nervous system will suffer first of all, and if oxygen is not enough to maintain the brain, a person may lose consciousness.
In the mountains, solar radiation is much stronger. This is due to the high transparency of air, since its density, the content of dust and water vapor in it decreases with height. Solar radiation kills many harmful airborne microorganisms and decomposes organic matter. But most importantly, solar radiation ionizes the mountain air, contributing to the formation of ions, including negative oxygen and ozone ions.
For the normal functioning of our body in the air we breathe, both negatively and positively charged ions must be present, and in a strictly defined ratio. Violation of this balance in any direction has a very adverse effect on our well-being and health. At the same time, negatively charged ions, according to modern scientific data, are necessary for a person as well as vitamins in food.
In rural air, the concentration of ions of both charges on a sunny day reaches 800-1000 per 1 cubic cm. In some mountain resorts, their concentration rises to several thousand. Therefore, the mountain air has a healing effect on most living beings. Many of the centenarians of Russia live in the mountains. Another effect of rarefied air is an increase in the body's resistance to the damaging effects of radiation. However, at high altitudes, the proportion of ultraviolet radiation sharply increases. The impact of ultraviolet rays on the human body is very high. Possible skin burns. They damage the retina of the eye, causing severe pain and sometimes temporary blindness. To protect the eyes, it is necessary to use goggles with light-protective glasses, and to protect the face, wear a hat with wide brim.
Recently, such methods as orotherapy (treatment with mountain air) or normobaric hypoxic therapy (treatment with rarefied air with a low oxygen content) have become widespread in medicine. It is well established that mountain air can be used to prevent and treat the following diseases: occupational diseases associated with lesions of the upper respiratory tract, various forms of allergic and immunodeficiency conditions, bronchial asthma, a wide group of diseases of the nervous system, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, diseases cardiovascular system, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, skin diseases. Hypoxic therapy excludes side effects as a drug-free method of treatment.
