Superfluid Fountain

High speed video of the fountain effect in superfluid helium-4. The fountain is produced due to two properties of superfluid, the ability to flow through very small pores and the ability to flow due to temperature gradients (thermomechanical effet). Video was taken in August 2007 in the Taborek/Rutledge research lab at the University of California, Irvine.

when the substance condenses, it becomes more dense(hence the word"condense"), so the gas in the chamber has less pressure. i.e. water is 17,000x more dense than steam. if u had a container full of steam and the steam condensed, the absence of steam creates a vaccuum effect.

Where is the vacuum being created.

well i explained why its perpetual or nearperpetual, because superfluids have no friction, as electricity is to a superconductor. the reason why their is an exchange of gas to liquid. the moisture inside is more than the temperature and pressure's dewpoint, water condenses like rain reduces the amount fluid that is a gas and creates a vaccum where gas was and causes the fluid to boil from lowered pressure.

But why

fuck

no, superfluid are known to have none or ridiculously low amounts of friction. The type of condensation fluid motion can be thought of like a wheel. if the wheel has no friction, one side will counterbalance the other so molecules going down and molecules going up are really just trading energy in a closed system. Its nothing more than momentum with zero friction, but instead of a solid wheel, its done by fluids.

yea but your putting energy into that system, this systems different, first you put energy in, but then its continuing on and on.

nope, its like water in a closed soda bottle, some evaporates until the air is saturated, then it condenses, that dries the air and more water has to evaporate making an endless cycle which in fact a little endothermic.

Can the spouting be classed as perpetual motion? After all, what would be supplying the energy?

The speed of light is only constant in a vacuum of space, not in matter. Especially in superfluids.
