Description: A demonstration and brief explanation of air lock in fluid pipelines. If you assume that gasses don’t get into pipes or that they can’t constrict the flow, you might design a pipeline that doesn’t work. Luckily for engineers, this is a well-known phenomenon in pipe systems. It’s just one of the complexities that come with the job and we’ve come up a with a lot of creative ways to overcome it. -Patreon: patreon.com/PracticalEngineering -Website: practical.engineering Writing/Editing/Production: Grady Hillhouse Director: Wesley Crump Tonic and Energy by Elexive is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License Source: youtube.com/watch?v=U6fBPdu8w9U This video is sponsored by HelloFresh.
