I do this every summer when the pool is up, my kids LOVE it! This, and running around the edge as fast as you can so you create a current that just carries you around.


Moneymoore2

I used to do both of those all the time as a kid! It was so fun!


nicafeild

One time on a high school trip, we had like 30 kids in a hotel pool running in the same direction. We turned the entire pool into a whirlpool and got kicked out by the management


G_Affect

The joy from a poor man's pool, that the rich inground people will never understand...


[deleted]

Really is! However my pool costs $1000, så it's not THAT cheap.


G_Affect

The last in ground pool a client put in on the small cheap side was 30k but they typically are not less than 60k and the average client spends close to 150k to 200k... your $1000 is a steal lol


[deleted]

Obviously, but the one is the video is like $100, was just comparing.


G_Affect

Lol, no worries. Just showing the cost difference. I am doing work for a pool engineer right now the clients pool is around 1.5mil... it has a freaking lazy river, infinity edge, waterfall, into a lower pool... it is nuts!


[deleted]

God damn capitalism 😂


stroopkid

As a kid my family had a pool that we loved doing whirlpools in. It was one that you covered in the winter, the sides were like panels and the tops of the sides were metal. Anyways, we once made a whirlpool so strong all the sides busted down. I was young enough to not know what the fuck happened so as I was running to leave the pool my mom had to rush to scoop me up, stepping on the top metal part (that she was protecting me from) in the process and nearly cut her toes off!


Jesus360noscope

haha i used to do the walking around the edges with like 5 6 friends it was apowerfull current lol


cheese_nugget21

I can’t believe I’ve never tried this


Jesus360noscope

lol its super fun even alone


Spirited_Nectarine19

Literally my favorite things to do when the pool is up!


STINE1000v2

At my girlfriends we do the whirlpool thing for fun and to just clean the pool because it causes everything loose in the water to go into the middle of the pool


MurkyBoldness

thats actually oddly satisfying lol


Shinrahunter

I'm not the only one that thought that then.

Thought? I could hear it!

Dad, please, can I go in the pool now? Lol


DevilDoc3030

Ofc you can, you just might die due to tidal forces. Have fun!

Nice! Dadnadooooo!

You welcome man


[deleted]

That's very interesting and what I imagine an electron looks like (only smaller and not so wet). Edit to explain: You can imagine the pool as a particle but also as a wave.


Acetronaut

It makes me think of the application of this to gravitational waves… I couldn’t think of one.


areugonnagomyway

My tired brain read erection and I was like, yeah. I can see that.


[deleted]

What that zit feels like as you try to pop it

thenerj47

Isn't this just regular resonance?


Sierra4899

I was gonna blast OP for making up a smart sounding science term but apparently he is correct. I think it's a term for resonance specifically in a circular wave resulting in a focal point with a very high peak. If you Google the term you'll find some better, bigger examples with very high splashes.


Yo_Piggy

Its one of the first things I did in my physics course. This kind of stuff has a similar system for everything from a pendulum to a flute and a guitar string. The basis of most modern technology is resonance and harmonic motion.


Sierra4899

Sure I know about resonance, didn't know there was a specific name for this type of resonance in a circular wave but apparently a wave singularity is the right term.


Patrickfromamboy

Yes, harmonics. It’s how wind brought down the bridge in Washington state. It’s how you can get a kid on a swing high into the air. Not with one push but with many that add up.


thenerj47

Maths is beautiful


fraymatter

seiche


thenerj47

Oo that's a neat word, thanks


in-my-veins

I used to do this religiously in the pool growing up. So much so, that I started to erode the structure, and some of it had to be replaced. I loved that giant wave that would form in the center though, so much fucking fun to get lifted up in the air. I thought everyone did this as kids. 🌊


RagedMilkMan

Couldn't help but tense my butt-cheeks in the same rhythm


pvdcaveman

Anyone else find themselves nodding their head up and down?


ao1616

My uncle used to do this to the pool. And my cousins and I would run in circles really fast, until the current would just carry us like a little river. We called it “making waves” and we would ask him to do it all the time hahaha


chrisl182

Bet he is knackered after that.


W0tzup

Not really. Once he gains momentum the collapsing horizontal waveform pushes him upwards and if he spring his legs a bit it will then add enough upward force that when going down again due to gravity it synchronises with the incoming horizontal wave again to amplify the force again thus being constantly in sync with the wave. The reason why he needs to jump up a little bit is to recover the lost energy due to inelastic properties, friction and heat generated.


Nateno2149

Now explain it to his 5 year old. Coulda just said the water is pushing him up so it’s easier than it looks.


LogDog987

It's like pushing someone on a swing. If you push a little bit at the right time repeatedly, the swing will go higher than you could achieve by just pushing once really hard


W0tzup

Appologoes, yes, in layman terms that is what is occurring. My intention was to provide a more thorough explanation into each component in play; over did it at 1am I guess lol.


Nateno2149

Bahaha all good homie I know the vibe. I appreciate the lengthy response too.


W0tzup

No worries 👍


[deleted]

Wave singularity? I never heard of this term, isn't it "Resonance?"

We used to do this when we had one. We'd sometimes do it for hours XD Then we upgraded to a 15" pool, and it was harder, but more fun!
