But it was revealed at the end that the texture of the vacuum popped kernals are superior. When people buy popcorn at theaters they aren't trying to maximize the number of calories they get per dollar, they are trying to maximize enjoyment. Also seems unlikely since the vacuum popcorn machines would be more expensive, have additional parts that could fail, and couldn't be accessed continuously as the current machines are. Not saying it's impossible, but there is some engineering that would have to be done first.

Ancient native tribes in the American southwest discovered popcorn. They covered the kernels with sand then heated it, the force of the kernels popping would pop them right out of the sand. As a matter of a fact, they believe that popcorn is the very first kind of corn that humanity ever ate. Also fun fact just any regular ole corn can't be popped into popcorn, there are specific species for that.

+WorBlux It's not just a generic term for any grain, but the "grain of choice" or the most plentiful grain in the area. In German, wheat is korn (yes, like the band) because wheat is the grain of choice in Germany. In England wheat was corn for the same reason, but then the English settled America and saw how plentiful maize was, and so of course they named it corn because that's what corn is. The grain you have the easiest time finding in a particular area.

@ShapeDoppelganger

I believe it would not pop with lower pressure, as corn is a sealed container and it must be sealed to build enough pressure to pop when heated. It became bigger because it took a little longer to cool off, the steam got off more rapidly once the burst happened and last the lack of air pressure did not exert any inward force to the corn in order to make it smaller. I believe that in zero g it would be just a little bit bigger, as that gravity still exerts force in the downward direction.

The point you're missing the though is the actual cost of corn. It only costs theaters about 10 cents per ounce of popcorn. With this method, based on corn alone, it would cut that down to 5 cents. Considering we already pay astronomical prices for popcorn, charging more wouldn't be necessary. Even if they did charge more, it would only really add a couple cents to each bucket of popcorn. Honestly they would probably be back at 10 cents per ounce with energy costs included.

I honestly didn't think the laser would burn through it and i didn't think they would make such a baby sound while in the chamber but I think you explained that in a camera in a vacuum chamber i thought the corn would expand much larger because most of the gas was being taken out

Morris Willis Exactly, that's like 99% of science that most people don't think about. NurdRage made a video about just that - for every successful video he has, there are several unsuccessful ones that never see the light of day. Showing, or at least talking about failure, is very important in my opinion.

That's awesome. so earths atmosphere prevents the kernel from reaching its maximum potential? i thought (about a 25% chance) the kernel would go back to regular size when released from the vacuum. once the vacuum was released, they would shrink. they probably did a little i would imagine.
@naibaf710
7 жыл бұрын
Probably not much at all, because the final structure is porous, so the air can just fill the gaps. Only reason to let the vacuum go slowly is to not crush the kernel with inrushing air. But there are no inner cavities filled with low pressure steam or anything. This means no pressure differential and thus no going back to a smaller size. And probably the limit of the size is due to how much protein fibers there are to hold back the steam. Once the steam can escape through the porous structure after expansion, the kernel stops growing. In normal air, there is just an opposing force to the expansion, leading to a denser fiber hull for the popped corn.

You may be on to a commercially fiable idea if you can develope a machine to do this which any idiot can use and is cheap to maintain. Because then you can buy bigger buckets and keep the price the same, so customers come to your cinema more because they feel it better value. I mean weren't they about 25% bigger? The cost of corn is nothing, but the value of being seen to be giving more for the same money is priceless. Also apparently it tastes better.

On a seperate note, have you seen the popcorn cannon? Heat slowly to boiling point so as not to burn the curnles, but do this in a sealled pressure vessel. then release the hinged lid to allow it all to expand instantly. Mythbusters had some fun with one.

@ Cody'sLab - could you do a comparison with a high speed camera in a vacuum and a non vacuum popping environment? Also did you note a difference in popping time or kernel/oil temperature between the two? I would guess that with the lower atmospheric pressure the kernel's would pop in less time than at normal Cache Valley pressures.

I would be curious to see temperature and pressure measurements on the vacuum corn-popping environment. With the vacuum, I would expect the oil to boil at a much lower temperature, which would also mean the corn popping at a lower temperature. There's probably some interesting analysis in the vapor pressure difference between water (in the corn) and oil as a function of temperature.

No wonder! I lived in Mexico for 12 years and the last two years I lived there they opened a new movie theater in my area. For some reason I would see them do popcorn with a weird contraption and I would also see the employees coming from the back with trays of very round and larger popcorn that look exactly like the vacuum chamber popcorn. It always baffled me how every single popcorn kernel I ate was always so round and large.
