What's Inside the Worlds' Fastest Heat Conductor?

In this video I show you the world's fastest "conductive" heat transferring device called a heat pipe. I show you a visual of how fast it can actually conduct heat compared to copper. Then I actually cut it open and show you what's inside and explain how it works!

Make a long stick out of one, give it to your friend at a bon fire to roast marshmallows with.
-
Think how bad this would be as a frying pan handle...
-
The fastest heat conductivity in the west
-
This would be perfect for an ice cream spoon and a butter knife!
-
4:34 Why no gloves this time? EDIT: Nevermind, the video answered my own question; the heat pipe isn't effective once it's opened up.
-
Diamond is really good at conducting heat as well, I went to a science demonstration where they had a large block of ice and a small blunt knife made of synthetic diamond, it cut through the ice in a very similar way to the rod in this video
-
"kilowatts per meterkelvin" me: visible confusion
-
Oh my goodness, this was such a well made video/demonstration. The way you used the pad that shows "coldness " (thermal energy) to demonstrate how much better the heat stick is than copper really put it into perspective. You're an incredible teacher and person!
-
Why does this guy sound like he’s asking a question when he speaks.
-
I knew about heat pipes, from knowledge of computer hardware, but this demonstration was amazing. This video was on another level, and it made the effect very obvious. And the explanation also contributed to my knowledge.
-
It's the fastest because it's not just conduction, it's evaporation, condensation and convection. In the solid copper rod, the copper never moves. However, in the heat pipe, the water on the wick is a working fluid that moves through the center of the pipe, which is a region of pure water vapor.
-
Oh now I know that heat pipes inside modern mobile phones really work a great deal.

Best material video I've seen in a long while. Worth watching every minute of it. Thank you so much!
-
This channel has made me really enjoy science. My grades actually went up significantly after watching some of these videos
-
Action Lab: It's gonna burn me when I cut it, wears gloves . . . Removes the gloves while cutting, second time Also Action Lab

Ooh so that's how vapor chamber cooling works in electronics

Love your ideas and presentation. A vise, small lathe and mill seem to be a good addition to the evolution of your channel. Keep up the good work!
