I love how the vacuum chamber is the solution to literally all problems on this channel.
-
Caution: don't leave your klein bottle filled with water for a long time; if it gets algae or other growth on the inside, it's incredibly difficult to clean.
-
I loved the conclusion, "so in reality the Klein bottle is just a fancy cup that you need a vacuum chamber to fill up", it all came down to that. The 4d visualization of a Klein bottle is cool though!
-
You don't need a vacuum chamber at all. Instead, hold the bottle horizontally under water in a basin, bucket, or sink. Rotate it around its main axis; with each rotation, some air will bubble out.
-
So is it just some crazy coincidence that the guy who discovered the Klein bottle just so happened to be named Klein? You gotta admit that's pretty crazy!
-
I love how he knew using a straw to get the air out, or force the fluid in would have worked fine, but just wanted to use the vacuum chamber.

“This container has no volume, now let me explain the mental gymnastics required to explain how the object with volume has no volume.”
-
The even/odd line cross bit really caught me off guard - I never knew that trick! Great video, explained everything well and kept things interesting
-
If it can be "filled" with air by being immersed in air, can't it be filled by submerging in water and rotating it about until all the air has leaked out?
-
The vacuum chamber was by far his best purchase lol
-
His amazement that he's able to fill a "no-volume" object with a liquid is, according to his definition, as mathematically amazing as me filling a regular drinking glass with water. Both are objects with zero volume.
-
"Is it possible to completely fill a Klein bottle?" It's already filled with air, so yes.
-
I asked for a glass Klein Bottle for my 13th birthday or so, and my parents got me one from the legendary Cliff Stoll. He suggests filling it simply by immersing it fully in water, which will get you most of the way there.
-
this is awesome i am working on jewelry casting using a vacuum chamber and this is already helping me a lot to understand my own tools!
-
I actually find this quite interesting and look forward to any more experiments that include a Kleine bottle
-
As a scientific glassblower with over 45 years at the bench, I used to make these for universitys and museums and also as a gift for some people, that actually looks like one of mine !
-
- To fill a Klein bottle, ... - Oh, he's going to stick a vinyl tube in the opening - Here's a full-blown vacuum chamber
-
What program are you using to render 4d shapes?
-
Does the three-liter jar have any volume?
-
I love the idea of using vacuum chamber, although it seems a hose stuck inside would do the job just as well. :-)
