I like how he just crushes the shoe for no reason
@Duh no u you're trying way too hard
@Tanjiro Kamado Nike shoes aren't expensive though? Some editions sure. But you you can get a pair for like 100 or so bucks. Cheap, if you ask me.
That literally hurt my soul vro
@Uchiha Tazz I do... when did I say that I care what he does with his money?
I dont like it
I love how the helium thing didn't work out so you crushed it out of pure disappointment
Such a waste
F helium
F that shoe
Try doing hydrogen next! It is way lighter than helium, and you are able to use your shoes as improvised grenades, too!
Double jump if you boom em in midair
@DIG GER You misses the joke. Hydrogen explodes when set on fire. Furiously.
I bet it would still weigh the same on that scale with hydrogen
@Cars in 60 screw you i got a headache from laughing to hard 😂
this idea bombs!
When I was in third grade I was in this science-y inventors club after school. My invention idea was a backpack that had helium pockets in it to make it lighter and cause less discomfort for students. Just like you though, I found that the amount of helium that would be needed to make a significant difference in weight could not be practically integrated into the design of a backpack.
@White Emerald_ but... the point of the bag is to carry your books.
@White Emerald_ no i just cant be bothered replying cuz i know your just gonna make a dumb argument and i was right
@zeewhiz
Ikr! You are saying "nah" as that there wasn't a good counter argument they had against me.
Because they were making excuses towards my valid and helpful solution to their problems.
@White Emerald_ nah
What was the reason for squishing a perfectly good pair of shoes? Was he literally trying to break them in?
@Bijyo nah they nice imo though
@J1nx i believe they were referring to sweat shops 🤙
Lol you act like he destroyed some fire shoes
Plot twist: Nike fills sneakers with helium too, and that is why before and after weight was the same.
they arent
@Chase Scott you’d think, but it’s often not possible to go back to a previous method of doing things without major changes. If we run out of helium, you can say goodbye to some rather important medical equipment.
@Groopwo yeah, REALLY slowly
😂 thats why…
Use Hydogen next time. It adds more float and an one-time use ability called Explosive Jump.
What did we expect?! That helium would lift us up? Or that the shoes would be springy?!
Once a person gets money the things they ones valued becomes valueless. He's a perfect explain
I love how he crushed it to show how it holds absolutely no value
I wonder if you could make a bodysuit that has an outer layer able to fill it with helium depending on the weight of the human will calculate many liters or gallons of helium needed for buoyancy or more for flight? It is said that one helium balloon is able to lift just 14 grams.
Imagine thinking that little amount of air would ever weigh more than 1g🤷♂️
I swear he's like a kid being allowed to ride up front for once
It’s cool to know that someone just has a helium tank lying around. XD
LMAO WHY DID IT END IN A HYDRAULIC PRESS
@Captain Obvious Thanks Captain Obvious 🤣🤣🤣
Obviously someone’s never owned a hydraulic press before. Haha dork
Views
@C H To be fair, the shoes were Nikes.. so they were useless before the air was taken outta them 😏
The helium may weigh the same, but it’s also less dense than the air that was in it before. So it may FEEL lighter.
There is also the issue that due to the small atomic mass of helium, it is more compressible than nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, so would actually reduce the shock absorption and rebound of the shoes.
I remember back when they made the reebok pumps. You could even air them up w/co2 cartridges. Alot of my friends thought they could jump & slam dunk like Jordan. It was too funny to watch.
The ironic thing is it weighed less if he had just left it empty instead of filling it with helium
Him: crushing the shoe with a hydraulic press
The child that made it: 👁👄👁
@Zoofy Zoof GOOD DAAAMN
Yup
WOW
Ayo
"Lets see if filling the shoes with helium makes it lighter"
*proceeds to violently crush it under a hydraulic press*
I was a fan till now but after watching this masterpiece I am a whole air conditioner 🙃🙂
@SomeRandomPiggo
He's the air conditioner that identifies as the vaccum pump that extracted the air from the shoe.
don't really get how that meme applies here but whatever lol
Unoriginal comment
Can you show us how you got the airbag to hold the helium without leaking? Always wanted to figure that out
I love you, and your vids. You always sound innocently amazed and happy. Your wife is lucky.
Did he just put nike airs into a hydraulic press?
@Pentime His comment has 0 dislikes, so he must be in the right
@Piotr wtf
@Absurdity Ok... and?
@Pentime the people calling you sensitive seem more triggered than you are, pretty ironic lol
@Braylon Woods how is "can u not" wild? 🕴seems like y'all sensitive but . let's leave it at that
you guys know that helium is slowly leaving our atmosphere like it's a limited resource
Fun fact: apparently we are likely to run out of helium in about 30 years
I would have liked to see the weight of the "empty" shoe, containing neither helium nor atmosphere.
Ah yes, the folks at Converse should've travelled 22 years in the future to use a service that didn't yet exist to take advice from someone they almost certainly know nothing about...
But now when I walk with my Nikes the footsteps have a hilariously higher pitch to them.
I can hear him say it lol 🤣😂
@mikhail21 This.😂
Lol
Ouch! Oof! Oof! *in high pitch tones*
Imagining this made me laugh my ass off
Here I am still dreaming of buying my own pair of Nikes. And there's this guy who is teaching me about science and just crushed the shoes without any explanation.
I absolutely love how you just destroyed a pair of Nike in a press. Awesome! They are worthless
Man I was sure he gonna start flying with his helium shoes
You're still filling them with the same mass of gas though, so why would it weigh less? This is the 'which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of bowling balls' question.
Such a waste of decent helium that could have been used for BeeGee impressions.
BeeGees actually used very right trousers that goes even tighter on the balls when walking... hence the high pitch notes while walking on their staying alive music video
@a51mj12 how do you know its painless you apparently haven't done it
Or the Lollipop Guild! 😊
@PetePlayss742 Well I’m glad you think so at least 🤣
@Kamy Bale I think I know what you’re talking about, those death pod thingies. That’s such a moral and legal grey area imo
Me: "Hey, want some Helium to do funny voices?"
Friend: "Sure, let's do it!"
Me: "Here, put my shoe in your mouth"
Friend: 😶
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania my god. Take my advice and go get one.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania Get a life honestly.
change my shoe with my toe
despite the insanely pain inducing title this was still pretty interesting
Who was also waiting for helium filled shoe to be lighter?😂
to be fair those tanks are normally 50/50 air to helium ratio, coming from a party city employee. the tanks we use are a much higher percent so you might be able to get up to double the weight reduction, still not worth but thought you should know
*Don't worry guys, he just wants the voice of love take him higher.*
@Nakhat Aslam shiny justice
JOJO REFEREREFERECEREFERENDAHISJDI AHHHHHHHH
@cryv i understand you. Nice one
oh my god bro i literally can not stand these jokes
1999 BIZARRE SUMMER
Plot twist: The reason he said that is doesn't let you fly is because he discovered that it does let you and the government told him to not talk about it, the reason he crushed them was to destroy the evidence
step 1: helium floats on air
step 2: cover your shoes in helium
step 3: wait for it to air
step 4: fly
I’d say that toe bend killed quiet a few souls😂🤣😂
Never thought the hydraulic press would be so satisfying to watch
Right, I'm gonna fill mine with hydrogen and walk on lava so I can truly fly
Or fly like Mario
@braydon attoe i think it's because hydrogen explodes from being exposed to fire
@mhm it's yo boi I'm uncultured because I'm lost 🎉🎉
Your really not gonna be alright after that one boah
Arthur hello boah
You know you're a TheXvidr when you destroy a perfectly good pair of shoes for the lols
Interviewer: So what makes Nike Air special?
Nike: It’s just a balloon stretched over a cup
"This air bubble right here, it's gonna make me fly."
@Parth Patel I swear I got so high, I touched the net
I hit that court and when I jumped, I jumped
Love how he said screw Nike lol just let's squeeze the life out of it lmfao
Admit it, we all want to live with him
Helium's lift capacity is close to 1 kilogram per cubic meter at sea level. That's why blimps are so huge. Hydrogen has twice the lift, by the way.
Helium is also a lot harder to find and make than just simple oxygen. Also a lot more expensive too.
I had some trainers with a helium bubble in them from early 2000s say 2004-6. It wasn’t converse brand tho.they were really heavy trainers too all things considering. I may still even have them in the cupboard somewhere.
Me: Wakes up. "Hmm... What can I do today?"
Him: Wakes up. "Ok. I'm gonna fill my Nikes AIR with Helium and Crush it on the Hydraulic Press for the lulz."
lulz
Lulz? You mean for the veiws
Now he's got to fill them with hydrogen and let them on fire.
Science isn't lulz
Sounds like when car dealerships try and upsale helium for tires lol
filling up the bubble thing in a shoe with helium from a balloon is DEFINITELY a cartoon gag
Someone I know works at the Nike HQ in a department called Nike IHM and one of the things they do there is make the air pockets. It’s super cool
QUESTION FOR YOU: Why do helium balloons fall to the ground after a few days?
I can't figure out how a balloon had enough pressure to pump that shoe up
@Joshua Carter you explained what I was thinking better than I could have.
I had the same question but I don't feel it has been answered by these other comments. It is true that the balloon and shoe would reach equilibrium but it is my opinion that there is a possibility that that shoe and it's thick bindings and thicker walls of the plastic see-through membrane could actually stand to hold a much higher air pressure than that balloon could possibly distribute therefore increasing the volume of helium that would be injected into the bottom of the shoe which could then have a very small effect of buoyancy in the gaseous liquid atmosphere we all live and walk around in on a daily basis.
I think it is possible that if you punctured a hole and deflated the shoe of any gas it would still hold its shape as far as a person is concerned who is just looking at it like we are...
But with a person actually wearing the shoe and putting that downward pressure on the sole of the footwear would show how under inflated shoe cavity would not be efficient for the proper fit function and especially the helium buoyancy effect that is claimed by these shoe manufacturers...
Remember that video this guy put out recently that showed a balloon inside a glass bulb fully inflated with no air inside of it because it was surrounded by a different atmospheric pressure inside the glass bulb surrounding the balloon therefore even without any air whatsoever people in can still be inflated and hold its shape so wearing the shoe and putting the downward pressure would be crucial in determining how much air pressure should be applied when filling up the helium...
Makes sense now, thanks for the input
He sucked out the air from the shoes beforehand, so it's basically vacuum (low pressure); while the balloon is filled with helium (higher pressure). The pressure difference would make the air (helium) move from higher pressure to lower pressure to achieve equilibrium.
These Nikes sucked in helium the same way you inhale
Now you’re left to figure out how you inhale
This experiment was done a very long time ago with tires. It actually made the tires weigh more. Guess he should have watched that experiment before making this video.
Step 1 fill the shoe with hydrogen (its lighter than helium)
Step 2 when you are near the finish line light it 😇
One time use jet boots
You'd probably need 20x+ your weight in helium to fly. This has already been solved.
How much did the shoe weigh after taking the “air” out?
I was just started to think how he can possibly do it without a hydraulic press but Bam!
Idea for your next video: How to get a shoe designer yo watch a video 20 years before it exists! 😜
The helium cylinder is so beautiful 😍😍
Fun fact: porsche build a racecar where the steelroods of the car were filled with helium to make the car lighter ... thats crazy
@S4m1n
Then why you come here just to reply ok. In this internet, just replying ok means someone is annoyed and dismissive. Some people just don't like cars and that's fine. Not everyone has to share the same preferences.
@Hey Girl I Like Your Kitchen Romania You assume a lot of unnecessary stuff.
@S4m1n
You come here just to say ok. You must be offended he's not into cars.
@boomerangfreak ok
What was the weight of the shoe after you vacuumed the air and before you fill it out with helium?
Negligible. Too small to be accounted for. But the helium made 0.2g difference.
Probably a difference in measurable by those scales. Look up the ‘ideal gas law’ and you’ll see how volume, pressure, temperature and ‘weight’ of a gas relate to each other. The volume of gas in the shoe really doesn’t seem to be very great at all.
This is the better question in my opinion
Worth every second watching you destroy a Nike shoe 🙂👍
My favorite part was when he showed us him flying.
Helium shortage and he just tosses it in A shoe 🤣
Think you just need more helium to fill the same space :) lol
I wouldn’t have realized with out this video visual
scientists: there’s this cool gas called helium but theres not a lot left so we need to conserve it. people:
@Citrus Lump id say using it in actual scientific employment would be better, this video has the same amount of substance as a clown filling a balloon with helium
I'd say teaching science is a better use than filling party balloons.
@The Angledsaxon Good thing you're here go get it for us lmao
@The Angledsaxon Doesn’t mean it’s very abundant here on earth
There's still plenty. Go watch Tom Scott's video
Wow! Seeing you destroy that shoe made me up. Wish I had a pair of shoes like that
Helium Shoes now that's What I wanted in my childhood 🤩
Creating a vacuum in the sole would probably be difficult (need for rigid and probably heavy material). And what's to be gained? This would probably not provide shock absorption. If it doesn't, then it's probably better not to put anything in the first place.
Can you pleas try to see if that shoe filled with nitrogen can help prevent transfer to the sole inside on a hot day better than the stock?
But does helium make any difference to the walking experience?
"They should've watched this video first!" XD
"Filling my Air Nikes with helium so I can fly."
2.4 Million people: *Interesting*
Hahaha the hydraulic press killed me 😂
i mean it could be useful for like olympic track runners or something where races can come down to inches, that .2g per shoe could possibly shave off some time even if it's very little it could make some sort of difference
This guy: "so is it worth it to fill your Nike airs with helium? I would give that an absolute no."
Me: "so is it worth it to ruin your Nike airs with a hydraulic press? I would give that an absolute no."
You shouldve hooked it up to the tank directly instead of just equalizing it with a balloon
What does the show weigh without anything in the air-pocket/bladder? Be cause the weight may not matter as much. Sometimes even when a balloon filled with helium goes to the floor after a few days it can be pushed to the ceiling where it kinda floats back down instead of fal lo ing straight.
Life-saving tip: fill your Nikes with oxygen, then if you are ever drowning, you can breathe.
They'll also spontaneous combust for extra fun.
true!!
We literally have a limited and decreasing supply of helium on Earth
Imagine finishing the video and going “not enough money was wasted in this one 🤔”
I think if you only have the air unit only.The weight
between helium or air should be different.
Pretty sure those who bought them can fill the lightened effect...on their pocket
Shoe: Doesn't lose weight
Him: *So you have chosen death*
Ah, this is how heelies are made
Air weighs about .075 pounds a cubic foot and the amount in that shoe, is so very very little that it won't make a real difference.
Maybe I'm just weird, but for some reason I have always wanted to meet the person whose air bubble(s) *accidentally* popped on their Air Maxes.😂
So many questions:
I need to know what were you doing that caused them to pop.
Where you wearing them when the bubble popped, or did you go to put them on one day and the bubbles were soggy?
Did you get thrown off balance and fall when the air bubble popped?
Did it make a sound when it popped?
I love this myth.
Even helium has mass! The only difference is the fact that helium has less of it than oxygen.
@Diaphat
This experiment was more about seeing if the buoyancy of this small amount of helium is big enough to be measured by a normal scale and not about the actual mass.
A scale does not measure the mass directly but the force of something pressing against its surface. If it did the scale would show a similar value for a helium balloon and an empty balloon. But it won’t since the buoyancy makes the balloon float. So there is no force applied to the scale and therefore it will say the balloon ways 0g. The balloon itself without the helium will definitely have a value higher than 0 if the scale is accurate enough.
@sajjad hossan shimanto "atmosph air" 😉
@shenhav biton *normal air
You mean than air? Air is not only oxygen
This video gives off the same emergy as the Cover yourself in oil to fly meme.
Haven't they just banned sales of helium for sale in party stores? I know there are major universities that are about to lose MRI machines due to helium becoming difficult to get.
I remember when cyclists tried this stuff
Do you reckon hydrogen will make it lighter by a single gram?
I thought the title was “filling my air nukes with helium with so I can fly”
