Inside Adam Savage's Cave: Space Glove Vacuum Chamber

1. So in perfect vacuum it would be almost impossible to move?
2. How did you make it?
3. 🐷🤔hmmm need to put some feathers in to pickup and drop inside the vacuum
4. Why dont Nasa test Astronauts in a vacuum? They test underwater where the Astronaut is under pressure from water but in a vacuum the Astronaut and suit would be expanding.
   I saw a Nasa film taken in 1965 where an Astronaut was put into a vacuum and he said that the last thing he remembered before passing out was the moisture on his tongue starting to bubble. It would be great if Adam wore a space suit in a complete vacuum and demonstrate how it works.
5. he needs to do a clear diving suit man and helmet.. wonder how this would go..
   
   one word that would spring to mind.. bloodbath.
6. OMG! This guy is such a LIAR! I just noticed that he is using a "INCH OF
   MERCURY" gauge (inHG) instead of a PSI as he claims. 3.5 inHG converted
   to PSI is only 1.7 PSI!!!!!!!!! You know he totally knows because he
   took a pen and blotted out the manufacturer on the gauge. If he actually
   created a pressure differential as he claimed of 3.5 psi. The glove
   would have popped, if that didn't happen the box would have imploded.
   And if that didn't happen, the glove would be like moving an IRON glove.
   And BTW you cannot survive a pressure of ONLY 1.7 PSI!!!!!
7. Why only 3 psi Adam that's only appox 35,000-40,000 feet in altitude, pilot pressure required with supplemental oxygen) when sea level pressure is 14.7? Pull it down to and lets see the claimed 4.3 psi or that which would really be required for longer term "walks" 6-7-8 psi... where it will be impossible to move... any limb or appendage contained within such a suit.
   Thus PROVING:
   There are no Space Flights into the great vacuum expanse, No "space walks" either...
   Myth Busted. Thanks Adam.

   "Spacesuits designed for the space station era will be pressurized to 8.3 psi; therefore, the pre-breathing period will be shortened or diminished."

8. the vacuum of space is magnitudes greater than this pos. . look at the chamber nasa built out of concrete and steel and its a fraction of the vacuum of space. We use industrial vacuum machines to lift 30,000lb steel tubes , no cables needed. And its no where near the vacuum of space. Tell me how your space suit in space wouldnt expand until it popped like a balloon in a vacuum chamber. DO you think the space shuttle could withstand 30,000lbs of force pulling from every direction? If the suit could withstand it, you wouldnt be able to move . Adam is a tool for the status quo
9. The penultimate penis pump!!
10. not authentic what
11. Savage...
12. OK Adam, since you have become a shill for NASA and have even met the president because of this. I have a very easy challenge for you and its right up your alley! Prove us all wrong once and for all!
    
    Simply reproduce the air conditioning unit that the astronauts used on the moon. And do it without using convection. Because in space there is nothing to convect the heat away. Have it overcome 350 degree heat that would be on 50 percent of the astronauts body. And run it purely on batteries for 8 hours!
    
    I know you will ignore my message because you know you cant do it!!!!!!!
13. Oddly enough, our skin is actually quite capable of holding in our internal body pressure, so we wouldn't explode in a vacuum (right away). So NASA and/or other agencies could actually design much thinner and less cumbersome space suits than the ones we've been using since the 60's. Sure, they have been improved, but the basic design is still very much the same.
14. helo i have a idea how to test if sound travle thru empty space u can set a freqvenci of sound that brake glass and put it inside vacum whit a glass jar inside and try to brake it whit sound
15. THIS HAS BEEN UP 7 MONTHS, AND NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON HAS COMMENTED ON THIS, NOBODY?
16. If atmospheric pressure at sea level is ~14 psi, and he is only pressurizing to 3.5 psi that is the equivalent of being at 35,000 feet on earth!. A person who climbs Mt Everest must acclimate before attempting this and even then he is only there for a short time. And even then you can get High altitude cerebral edema, pulmonary edema. 50% of climbers reaching even 14,000 feet get AMS (Acute mountain sickness). And that is EVEN with oxygen. Even if your acclimated you MUST NOT assend more than 9,000 feet per day. Once AMS starts to occur you either get down or your going to be dead meat. Climbers have medical facilities at check points to give them injections if they start to have symtoms. I have never heard of an astronaut EVER complain about altitude sickness.
17. @tested if this is something Adam made for a friend can you ask him to share with us the the coolest thing he's made for his wife ?. i would guess its pretty amazing
    
    thx kevin
18. What vacuum pump does he use
19. That isn't 3.5psi, it's 3.5 inHg.
20. I picture some guy getting a hole in the finger tip, getting sucked completely into the box.
