Room 17 have been using room 16 as a science testing ground. We have been putting roughly 1 - 1 and a half centimetres of water in an empty can of diet coke. We then boil the water over meth and once the water starts to steam and bubble we dunk it in a bowl of water, however if you do not put water in the can or bowl the experiment will not work.

Once in the water the pressure difference will cause a huge vacuum and suck all the air out of the can and will crush instantly.

Science Observations - Room 17

Heating
The bottom of the can is starting to get burnt (brown)
There is steam coming out the top (a slither)
Hear bubbling/sizzling
Smell meths burning
Heat waves coming out of the top of the can like a mini heat wave
Can see condensation on the outside of the can

Cooling
Reacted like air in space - it sucked all the air out (massive vacuum)
All the air was sucked out and water was sucked into it
The can was completely crushed/demolished!
The bottom of the can had a crater like a volcano
The can instantly crushed when we put it in iced water

Popping sound/crunching
