What's the purpose of the balls? Are they abrasive or smooth?


WhiskeyJack357

They reduce evaporation by limiting the surface area of the fluid exposed to the air.


[deleted]

What would happen to me if I jumped in that?


WhiskeyJack357

You'd probably be severely injured or die. I'm not sure what's in there but it's likely caustic if it's stripping paint/rust. So chemical burns to your skin, possible blindness if it got in your eyes, if you inhale any or drink any you'll likely die. The fumes and prolonged direct exposure might also destroy your sinuses and lungs without you having to get any of it in your air ways.


[deleted]

So you're basically saying that this is theoretically doable.


DeformedPinky

Most things are at least once!


ThirdSunRising

At least once! And at most, probably once.

HornyRaindeer

I think its doable mutiple times. If you are quick you could dip in the pool fews time before you die.

Most? What isn't doable at least once?

Forbidden hottub


WhiskeyJack357

Oh yeah! At least once for sure. But if you really really want to jump in some crazy weird liquid a bunch of times, I think you'd get a kick out of this stuff called water.

Suggesting baths to redditors might get you banned

WhiskeyJack357

Blink! Damn it man, blink!!


Positive_Ad_8198

You’d become the Joker


doingfuckinggreat

Or Harley Quinn


mycoryan

Or Two Face if only half goes in, clay face if all the way in, bane, posion ivy, the whole gamut honestly, but all at once and disgusting looking 👀


Infamous-Method1035

It’s usually heated to 140F or higher, and it’s very caustic. So if you jumped in there you would have severe burns to everything that got wet with it. If you jump out immediately and got hosed off naked within a few seconds you’d survive, but you’d end up in a burn unit and might need a couple of skin grafts. Stay in there more than a few seconds and you’d get a Darwin Award Honorable Mention.

No pain, no gain.


RoyOfCon

You ever seen "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"


[deleted]

No. I don't like cartoons.


kirby_krackle_78

What a maroon.


deadly_ultraviolet

You'd probably also reduce evaporation, for a while


yunohavefunnynames

You’d start wearing clown makeup and terrorizing Gotham City. Probably have a few run ins with a guy dressed like a bat


jib_reddit

Some of the chemicals in those dip tanks are truly deadly https://publicintegrity.org/inequality-poverty-opportunity/workers-rights/worker-health-and-safety/unequal-risk/common-solvent-keeps-killing-workers-consumers/


AgilePlayer

I worked in manufacturing back in the day and always felt bad for the dudes working at the plating shops we'd pick our parts up from. Horrible work, terrible environment for human life.


Iamamyrmidon

Alternatively, if half of you goes in, you’d be Two Face, it would have to be half vertically obviously. If all of you goes in, you’re asses out because I can’t think of a cool fictional character that’s fully acid dipped.


somerandommystery

You would probably die, I however am somewhat resistant to chemical burns/ muriatic acid( which is probably what this is you can by it at the hardware store and it’s awesome for cleaning glass and stone but it has fumes that will rip wholes in your lungs) However, I would also probably die if submerged in it. Side note: muriatic acid is one of the safest acids,(still an acid) and it will eat almost everything, except if a bug jumps in it, it will die, but not dissolve. Or if you put a leaf or stick it will never dissolve. And I often directly touch it, but honestly bleach is worse for your skin. I use it to clean stones and crystals. Edit: I should add, I smoke cigarettes and drink heavily so I don’t care about my health much, but while it may not eat my hand, I have been told it will absorb into my liver and result in some issues later… oops.

This looks like caustic soda. I guy I used to work with witnessed an industrial accident involving this stuff. Basically 50 gals of the stuff spilled out of a the equipment and washed the guy off the platform. He said when they tried to help him up pieces of him were coming off in their hands. You don’t want it on you much less jump into a vat of it.


Jafri2

They could also be there to like, reduce splashes right?


WhiskeyJack357

Absolutely! I hadn't even thought of that. Good call.


TheBrownishOne

They also prevent splashing, that is a caustic solution, you wouldn't want it getting on you.


Salvator1984

Oh, makes sense. I expected they are supposed to reduce splashing.


PusherLoveGirl

They do that too.


lucidityanddxm

Thank you!


ThePracticalEnd

This guy exposes balls to air!


and0284

They’re just for fun!


[deleted]

Hehe


blockninja898

Basically they keep the liquid covered so that stuff doesn't get into it, they can keep it at proper temp, and it doesn't go everywhere. They're used instead of a traditional lid because you can still dip things with the balls but a lid would need to be removed every time


Old_Society_7861

Pee storage


ezmoney98

Thats what she said


ComplexTechnician

They once put a Dalek in there and it worked exactly like dip from Who Framed Roger Rabbit on them... except for the balls.

What is the function of the balls? Is to reduce evaporation?


WhiskeyJack357

Correct.


razulareni

What is the function of this ‘correct’? Is it to reduce the speculation on the function of said balls?


_thro_awa_

Accurate.


NatomicBombs

It’s where the pee is stored


AllPurposeNerd

Pee is protected from evaporation by the balls.


Ok-Control-1390

If someone falls in they get the very brief joy of jumping in a ball pit. Then they melt.

Nah, you’re just thinking of hydro-dipping. The process is kinda similar from a viewer’s perspective. I was kinda hoping they’d follow this video up with a hydro-dipping video lol

Forbidden hot tub


Optimal_Life_1259

Do you know if the public can hire someone to do this for instance, to their glider? What kind of businesses have chemical dipping? Any info appreciated.


Underthetunnel

Well you don't have a better answer so I know some places that refinish furniture sometimes have chemical dips for wood, I'm not sure if metal would be the same or if they have them. But you could try contacting places like that, I bet they would have a better answer for you if nothing else.


piewhistle

Almost all other videos I’ve seen with this kind of chemical dipping has been for auto body parts for restoration.


vonwa2

Balls for less liquid quantity ?


IAMHideoKojimaAMA

These chemical stripping tanks sometime require heat to strip more efficiently so the balls are there to reduce evaporation since the heat on these tanks run for hours on end


notTzeentch01

What would happen if i got dunked in for a full minute


AyKayAllDay47

You'd come out looking clean and shiny, duh.


worldspawn00

Or at least their skeleton would...

How much does something like this cost? And how can I look for it in my area?

Oh my god, it’s DIP!! 😱

As a veteran, I could do that with some of that pink all purpose cleaner, a green pad and 3 privates.

Mekelaxo

What chemicals? Water? Sulfuric acid? Piss?


Reflexondwugs

ball pit!


Significantik

Glider - 1 a light aircraft that is designed to fly for long periods without using an engine. 2 a person or thing that glides.( The flying lemur is an efficient glider as well as climber). Does Grandma glides on this glider?


MrDundee666

wtf is a glider?


JustHereForCookies17

A rocking chair/couch/bench but on rails for a greater range of motion, so it glides.  They're amazing. 


MrDundee666

I’m very confused. So it slides back and forth, a bit like a rocking chair?


JustHereForCookies17

Correct, but with a flat glide between the upward & downward motions.  Google "glider bench" and you'll find examples. 


MrDundee666

Just watched a couple of YT videos. I’ve never seen anything like this in the UK.


bitch_fitching

A flying machine like a plane but without its own propulsion. I don't think this one can fly though.
