We crush this 55 gallon drum using physics! #shorts #DrTatiana #science

A small amount of water in the drum is heated up; it generates steam, which fills the drum. Then, the drum is sealed, trapping the steam inside the barrel. When we place the barrel in ice water, the steam inside the drum condenses, and the pressure inside drops dramatically. However, there is still atmospheric pressure outside, which crushes the drum! This is a dramatic demonstration of the power of atmospheric pressure.
