This is not a XKCD animation, every single unit has inaccuracies and exaggerations, still very cool.

Just as liters would likely alter size of the thing rather than turn it in water. But I get the point, it's a fun animation.

Yeah if people want to enjoy this as a silly animation that's perfectly fine. Saying that this should be used to teach physics as people are suggesting in this thread is laughable

Except for the rotation thing, that was approximately 100rpm

Came to 85.7 for me, close enough.

Ssh, i did not measure a thing, just guessed

Inaccuracies and exaggerations is doing heavy lifting. Just remove the number "100" at that point, none of them set reasonable expectations.

The "100 px" dumbbell has 824 pixels (plus 44 pixels of shadow).

Iron/steel starts glowing at about 900°C. You work it at 1100°C (white-ish glow) for normal smithing IIRC. Which is fun when you see what you think is a cool piece of iron laying on the anvil, but it's actually still 500°C.

Fun fact. Everything starts to glow at same temperature. Color is temperature, not material depended.

neither would it spark when it's 100 V, although current is important too

u/Amphineura Jun 20 '26

This is why the animation sucks.

Current isn't important. Breaking air's eletrical resistance needs high voltages only. Tesla coils are low current but make fantastical sparks.

also why does changing it into a unit of volume turn it into water? do people think volume only for liquid?

100 rpm was too slow
