Also that only 1/3 of the water flows over the falls. The rest is diverted off to make electricity.
It might damage the straw too.
And if we have found a way to reinforce a straw, then we will have found a way to reinforce the planet as well. Danger averted.

Misleading title as per the first part of the video. If you funneled it through a straw, only a small amount would come out due to cavitation. If you turned off cavitation, then yes, you’d have a pressure washer operating at speeds comparable to the speed of light.
Wouldn’t we also be under enough pressure to begin fusing some of that hydrogen into helium at that point?
And yet it would still leave the edges of bird shit on my car
You know, my favorite thing about that channel is that they both explain why something can’t happen, and then go into great detail about how horrible it would be if it did. They fully commit to the questions.
“This is the last straw” 😆
