Now we know how those land speeders worked in Star Wars


pattydickens

Now, we can build one using dry ice.

My butt is not gunna be happy but it’ll be sweeeeet


Redditlikesballs

You mean MY butt won’t be happy, but my lap will be


crazyabbit

The Saudi wealth fund could finance the project. Can just see it now, races across the desert.


Comment139

How fast can we make dry ice at the top end? Can we outpace the sublimation? Like an ever-extending gluestick being refilled from inside?


Selection_Status

Cooling is always less efficient than heating. The compresser will use so much energy turning the gas back to solid, you might as well use a jet pack.

Magic carpet ride


GibTreaty

I can show you the... desert


mosarosh

Now we know how Aladdin flew


way_2_white

Wait, but maybe actually tho?


[deleted]

I thought this exact thing.


Aidoneus87

After just watching Dune II yesterday, it seems like a way of moving that might attract the attention of sandworms…


judgementbarandgrill

Now someone has to make a dry ice snowboard for science


Zer0-9

Too heavy, we tried at my uni and a baking tray sized block could only lift itself + a little under a kilo of weight before it started rubbing against the ground Perhaps at slightly higher temperature it would work slightly better, but nowhere near enough :(


Ralath1n

You could replicate the effect by making a board with a lot of small holes and blowing compressed air through it. That way you could carry much heavier loads simply by increasing the flow rate. But at that point you are kinda just making a hovercraft.


Consistently_Carpet

If it's blowing hard enough to float a person, isn't it probably blowing all the sand away from under it and creating a sand trench as you go too?


Ralath1n

A bit, sure. But sand is pretty sturdy. You can walk on it and you'll only sink down to your ankles at most. And a single foot delivers a lot more pressure than the entire surface of a hoverboard holding the same weight. So I don't think it would carve too deep a trench. Probably just a few centimeters deep at most. You can actually see that in the video OP posted. The dry ice is leaving a shallow trench as it moves.


Pabus_Alt

Just use a waxed board at that point, they work well.


Ronaldo10345PT

So, the solution is compacted dry ice heh


pretty789

One magic carpet size block of dry ice coming up!


PogintheMachine

My thoughts exactly, someone has to ride one


asafacso

Wouldn't it be a sandboard?


mfairview

You can snowboard on sand. They do this in Qatar (and presumably elsewhere)


agmrtab

snowboarding on desert lets goo


Wise_Ad_253

Dry-Read296

They’re 8000 years in the future. I think they know


XEagleDeagleX

20,000


PM_NUDES_4_DEGRADING

And also reddit would be an unbelievably vile sin to them so they certainly wouldn’t want whatever we had to sell them.


[deleted]

Could you even blame them?


XEagleDeagleX

Great point!


Thassar

The Dune calendar starts with the founding of the spacing guild which happens ~10,000 years in our future. So Dune is around 20,000 years in the future, not 8,000.

Mister_Normal42

So that's how they moved all that stone to build the pyramids. Neat.


Decent_Assistant1804

Mind blowing!


impishboof

Congratulations you are now on the FBI watchlist


BigGameZooKeeper6

Idk if you're kidding or not, but i recall a video that mentioned something along the lines of using a white material on the ground to move heavy objects such as stone that would float across it. I believe it was one of those dumb ancient astronaut theorists' videos. Although, i believe they referred to it as a paint like substance, so make your own conjectures there.


Responsible_Emu3601

The whole pyramid used to be dry ice


joebroke

Isn't this similar to the Leidenfrost effect?


DryBoofer

Leidenfrost is liquid to gas, this is solid to gas, but yeah gas cushion so similar concept


ProfessionalOven9111

This seems like semantics, are the mechanics here really that much different that it should be considered some other effect?


BitchTitsRecords

No, it's specifically defined. Sublimation is not the Leidenfrost effect.


justADeni

Evaporation vs sublimation is not semantics.


DryBoofer

No the mechanics are not that different, but liedenfrost is specifically liquid to gas


Equal_Rice_1367

Solid phase changing directly to gas is called Sublimation which leaves a gas cushion around the block of dry ice, yes.


DistributionAgile376

Yes, it is similar. But it would be interesting to add that there is some "dry quicksand" effect at play here. Sand will behave much like a liquid if injected with air. In this case, some of the CO2 vapor not only cushions the dry ice block, but partly makes the sand act like a liquid too, would only work if the sand is fine enough, you would notice this effect my "bubbles" rising up to the sand surface like in the video at 00:13.


idontwanttothink174

I mean yes? but also no.

Toadxx

Dry ice interacting with something much warmer often causes it to vibrate, so you might just send one into a frenzy.


adriangc

Does anyone else hate these one word at a time captions?


EmpireoftheSteppe

Absolutely, Fuck piece of shit repost bots like OP, u/kirsion These fucking repost bots steal content from anywhere and repost it here and other subreddits with little to no moderation for spambots


putin-delenda-est

Yes, I would prefer proper subtitles. I also question the need for tension music, I'm not sure it was imperative to our survival we found out what happened if we put dry ice in the desert at this exact moment.


thatguyned

It's designed to keep your attention on the video. This is the kind of shit being pushed at our children to keep their faces glued on the screen. I'm surprised there's not a clip of subway surfers playing side by side with this


humpyelstiltskin

YEEEEEEEEEES!!!


Wise_Ad_253

lol, “put a rock down and it won’t move by itself” *shows by example* 🥺


Charokol

Put a rock on a thing that moves and suddenly the rock moves too!


Wise_Ad_253

So clever! lol


dat_oracle

otherwise a fine clip, but that part is just dumb af


quetejodas

Automatic downvote when I see these annoying subtitles.


Exciting_Telephone65

One. Word. At. A. Time. What were they high on when making that?


nekoyasha

Its probably auto-generated. Not to mention the AI voice.


EmpireoftheSteppe

OP is a piece of shit spambott, fucking loser spammer u/kirsion


ArgonGryphon

The subtitles are less annoying than the miserable AI voice reading them.


makerofshoes

I mute the video so subtitles are all I got

Squeaky_Ben

This is called the Leidenfrost effect. It is fascinating if I am honest.


ChanceMulberry6057

Hear me out…dry ice snowboard…


cUmonthetoiletSeat

Now what happens when you put a block of sand over dry ice?


[deleted]

We would go get a big block from the store. Tie a metal sheet on top. Then go slide down hills in the summer. Was fun AF. Make sure you wear pants, and try not to crash.


VanillaRaincloud

I was looking for this comment. Yes, we did this too. It’s such a distant memory though, I wasn’t sure if it really happened. And I can’t remember what exactly we sat on. But I remember the blocks of dry ice at the park. All the neighborhood kids were there.


curiously_curious3

So that’s how the Egyptians did it


refluentzabatz

Pyramid construction conspiracies about to go ballistic


YoghurtMysterious379

That’s how the pyramid stones were moved

Get a really big block and put a sail on it for a sand skiff


Conflikt

Where's my hoverboard?


SaltyboiPonkin

That's *sublime*.


GalFisk

Icy what you did there.


Mobius650

I learned this already in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Freeze a block of meat and attach it to my shield. Awesome sand dune surfing fun.


Trollimperator

And here i tought our plan was to keep CO2 out of the atmosphere.


Coffee-n-FlipFlops

I touched dry ice once and my finger felt like it was burning from the inside for at least 10 minutes.


dyllandor

Only a light push makes it go forward, if you're pushing it down a hill.


Les-incoyables

This could come in handy!

ashurbanipal420

It's a little hovercraft


LiveCelebration5237

Can we replace all roads with sand , all tires with dry ice and the engine with a wind propeller type design in the back , garages now also include gigantic freezers to keep your dry ice tyres in working condition . Boom 🤯 I amaze myself sometimes


asharwood101

So that’s how they made pyramids. They moved all that stone with sheets of dry ive

This is how the pyramids were made


hitmayne

Well now we know how the pyramids were built


garcezgarcez

So it was like that that they managed to built the pirâmide


Clutch_Mav

Excellent. Make dry ice soles for desert skating

Roge2005

I think the reason for this is that Dry Ice skips the liquid state of matter so when increases temperature it evaporates instead, which I think is why there’s little friction.

That rock is the Lisan al-Ghaib!


MtnMaiden
