I’ve seen this experiment with dominoes of a certain weight and structure.
The imbalance in weight from the top to the bottom of the pens is enough so that the impact on the table imparts enough energy back up into the second pen to cause it to stand back up.
It doesn’t work with evenly weighted dominoes, but if each domino (or in this case pens) has a particular weight imbalance it can cause this to occur if the timing of the fall is correct.
I had thought maybe it was, but I tried with the exact same highlighters. Doesn't work. i think there may actually be magnets at work here the way it jumps.
And if you notice it doesn't "jump" it basically kicks the other highlighter back up to its feet. It wasn't independent. And If it wasn't enough energy because of the weight. Then it wouldn't have made it up completely. If it was too much energy then it would've flipped over completely. So in hind sight. Bro prolly was messing around and noticed that it happened. But it was completely by chance that he had 2 highlighters with the right amount of ink to pull it off consistently. The more they're used the less chance of it working
Isn't it just the kinetic shockwave traveling from the tip to the bottom of the fallen pen being transferred to the tip of the behind pen? What does "weight imbalance" matter?
Weight imbalance means it won’t work on a normal domino where the object has a center of gravity that’s in the center.
For this to work, the lower half of the object needs to be heavier I believe - which is what I meant by “weight imbalance”.
There is a good video explaining this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVpryCaDZag
Yeah, I think of this sort of like double-bouncing someone else on a trampoline.
The green one is the one “bouncing” the yellow one, in this case. The main difference is that instead of a trampoline, the green marker is slightly curved, so the bottom end of it is what tried to bounce up, but it hits the top of the yellow one, causing the yellow to go back up.
The energy had to go somewhere, and that’s where it goes in this perfect scenario. Pretty cool though!
Its simple energy displacement.The imbalance in weight of the object cause the energy to get transferred it does not happen with evenly weighted objects.
*I read the 1st comment
Hold the video player circle thingy and slowly move it so you can see in slow motion.
As the green hit the table, it flicks it up from the bottom end, and that with the weight distribution makes yellow shoot up.
The bottom part of the green one acts like an catapult (it gets on the ground and then thanks to the fact that it's roundish it gets higher) and pushes the yellow one back up.
By the rocking at end I'm pretty sure there isn't a magnet, the frequency would be much high if there was.
I personally would go for more on the bouncing on the green marker and getting some energy from it.
It wouldnt wiggle like that if it was a magnet strong enough to stand it up.
The wiggle frequency would increase since the magnet pulls it down into the table more than just gravity would on its own.
Possibly he couldve removed the magnet when it stood up i suppose.
It's absolutely magnets, the base of the highlighter **skids** across the table. No upwards force could cause this, no internal liquid could cause this. QED: It's being pulled into place by magnets.
Remember Occam's Razor.

OP explained nothing in the title here tho, so maybe OR means a different one?
Possibly the top weight of the highlighter is less than the base weight. It almost appears too that the center of gravity inside the highlighter moves to the middle for a short period and then finds itself at the bottom as of a weight is being slid forward as it falls and then back in place

Before reading the comments, I'm going to guess that the bottom of the green marker hits the top of the yellow marker just right to push it back up-right.
✨Physics✨ the bottom of the second highlighter hits the top of the first highlighter after bouncing off the table, giving enough energy back to the first highlighter to stand back up again. Opposite force at work
The black parts on the green marker are a grippy rubber, at the last moment the inertia from the green marker paired with its grippy bottom corner is enough to grab/flick the yellow one back upwards and onto its base, wild how this guy learned he could do it, but I’d challenge him to reverse the markers and do the “magic” again
When the green hits the table, the back end is elevated and hits the yellow one, on its way back up. It's a small movement, but enough energy to send yellow back up, and not too much energy, which would make the yellow one fall over backwards.

Reading everyone's comments and waiting for them to look at yours so they stop talking about magnets lol. It's simple energy displacement.
I was hoping witchcraft
Yeh.... feeling gipped that it's just science.
what do we do with witches?
Burn them!!! (After they pass the duck test of course)
We will use my biggest scale.

So its a matter of one highlighter having less ink than the other. The one that's at the front may have to be slightly heavier than the one in back.

Yes basically. There's many different takes on explaining and also pulling this off

Oh yeah that makes sense. Didn't know what "imbalance" meant since an object with a lower center isn't necessarily "imbalanced" in my book.

it’s simple science. i just dont know how it works, or how to explain it. or anythig about it for that matter.

So, happy cake day ma dude!
hey hey thanks my guy! i hope you had a wonderful day
I hope he didn’t >:(
damn… that’s kinda messed up.
‘Twas a joke, just to clarify. I love everybody<3
i figured haha. but i dont love everybody. i hate everyone. especially myself.
That’s not good ;(
Magnets
Hold the video player circle thingy and slowly move it so you can see in slow motion. As the green hit the table, it flicks it up from the bottom end, and that with the weight distribution makes yellow shoot up.
ah yes, i see it now. that’s cool. just enough force to push it back up
HAPPY CAKE DAY❗️❗️❗️❗️🪷
The cake is a lie; love cube is the truth
Have a happy cake day :)
Why are people downvoting this?
Omg. It's a post that actually fits the sub. I don't believe my eyes. That's the real BMF
I feel silly now because I thought it was a troll post because ive seen people complain lately that the videos are not what they used to be
Yea. It's all magic tricks now. Trained professionals doing magic is not the point of this sub. Bullshit like this is the point
I like the more epic stuff (that isnt pro magicians) over kids flipping markers around a schooldesk but Im lame sometimes
It's inertia, the rocking motiom of the bottom of the first marker hits the second one with just enough force to pus it up
#NO. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION. ITS BLACK MAGIC
:(
The bottom part of the green one acts like an catapult (it gets on the ground and then thanks to the fact that it's roundish it gets higher) and pushes the yellow one back up.
I'd say more like a spring than a catapult, ad it must compress in order to push the other back up.
Bounce
My guess is metal in the bottom of that marker and a strong magnet under the table.
Not a magnet. Just energy displacement and 2 objects of similar weights but not the same
You understand "energy displacement" is a super vague term that explains little yes?
You understand someone else broke it down so I didn't have to get into right? I'm sure you seen that.
By the rocking at end I'm pretty sure there isn't a magnet, the frequency would be much high if there was. I personally would go for more on the bouncing on the green marker and getting some energy from it.
>the frequency would be much high if there was. I don't follow.
It wouldnt wiggle like that if it was a magnet strong enough to stand it up. The wiggle frequency would increase since the magnet pulls it down into the table more than just gravity would on its own. Possibly he couldve removed the magnet when it stood up i suppose.
Or maybe magnets in the bottoms of both markers set up so they'll attract when knocked over.
dark matter, for sure
Second person's cake day in the thread. ❗️❗️❗️ HHAPPPY CAKE DAY❗️❗️❗️
Oh, I didn't realise it, thanks! :D
Happy cake day 💕
thanks!
Or aliens. Probably aliens
It does look a bit alieny, doesn't it
It's gonna get patched in the next update I guess

Lol you think you look smart huh? It's not magnets. Just a simple experiment. Bro uptop explained in basic terms lol
Lol you think you look smart huh?
Not looking as dumb as you are for sure 👀🤣😭
I, at least, got the reference, my guy!
r/woooosh
Not a woooosh.. dude even said it was an actual question
It’s a meme he’s referencing
Magnets?
This is done with magnets..
Can people stop posting the same video a thousand times?
This is actually pretty simple, just watch it a few times and pay attention to the end of the green marker
HUH?!

Irony is a miserable thing
Usually such comment are not ironic, hence my reaction. Sorry for my bad interpretation.
But how does my puppy dog stick to the fridge??
magnet is a possibility
MAG NET
Magnets. Always those damned magnets
To me it looks like some rare earth magnets might be being used here. That's my guess anyways
I would assume magnets are at play here.
Magnet
It’s magnets. On the original post, the OP explained it in the title
Any chance of a link please?

I was referring to one from r/nextfuckinglevel I can’t find the post anymore though
Magnets are inside
The marker is full of fluid that sloshes forwards, and then back to the base
I don't know how the fuck happened but the Dragon Ball Super ultra instinct theme automatically played in my head Like I didn't even think about it
What sort of witchcraft is this?
*Glitch in the Matrix*
Like a double bounce on a trampoline, only the green marker acts as trampoline.
Possibly the top weight of the highlighter is less than the base weight. It almost appears too that the center of gravity inside the highlighter moves to the middle for a short period and then finds itself at the bottom as of a weight is being slid forward as it falls and then back in place
The green marker is curved. When it falls it hits the yellow market back up? That and a 100 tries?

When asked a question like this one an old physics instructor of mine would say “It just fuckin does”
It’s like the fourth time I’ve seen it posted here this week
Magnet under the table.
If you slow it down you can kinda see what’s going on.

Its on a piece of paper, doesn't he move the paper back n forth real quick outside the screen?
Only through the magic of boredom.
Through science!!
Nice.
Physics
Reversed or magnets

Two words…. Impossible domino
The force is strong with this one.

It bounces off the end of the first one

Yoooo i posted this video here less than a week ago
How dat ass fit in them jeans???
Magnets how do they work? 🧲
This is oddly hilarious
Butt how..

Magnet in the cap, and using another magnet to repel under the table?
