Can You Cook a Chicken by Shaking It?

Let's see if I can get any temperature increase just by shaking it by hand for a while. So for reference, our starting temperature is about 55 degrees here. Okay. Holy cow, I'm tired. See if we get any noticeable increase in temperature. But before we continue. We started out at about 55 degrees. We're at about 59 degrees. I mean, most of that's probably coming from the heat of my hand actually. So no matter what, that's nowhere near the temperature. We're gonna need to cook this. So we need to up the Annie a little bit. So I hired a professional shaker. Actually, just kidding, I bought a paint mixer. Okay, here we go. These are here so it doesn't shake all around. After a long time of shaking, let's see what temperature it got to. So we have officially gotten to room temperature, about 73 degrees. That's a temperature in my room right now. So we quickly got up to room temperature. Now this is obviously just from the room heating it up, not from the shaking. Mostly cause now that we're at room temperature, if I shake it for a long time again, we're still got. This is 73 degrees. 74, about the same. So if anything it got colder haha. So this is not gonna work. So in order to do this, we need to substantially increase our shaking rate. Now we have a word for really fast shaking. It's called vibration. So let's see What happens when we vibrate the chicken around 60 hertz with a massage gun? Right on the corner there we have about 69 degrees, 70 degrees. Hit it with the massage gun. Okay, I'm seeing a little hot spot start to form, raising the temperature by just a little tiny bit. So I think this could work. So now what if we increase the frequency 1,000 times more than it is now? Well, to do that, we need a different device. May I present to you my 300 watt sonicator. Haha, this thing cost $400, but I promised that I was going to cook chicken by shaking it, and I'm gonna do it now. Once we get into these extremely high vibration frequencies, we get some new effects that should help us turn this mechanical energy into heat much more effectively. So not only are we doing the deformation cycles faster, so we should get more heat increase per time, but another effect should also start to happen. So the chicken or fluid that's inside of it has mass and therefore inertia, so it can't perfectly follow these extremely rapid vibrations. During part of each cycle, the sonicator pulls away so quickly that. That the chicken or fluid in the chicken can't follow it closely. So it creates a vacuum or extremely low pressure bubbles. This causes the water in it to vaporize and then suddenly condense and collapse into a single point. And it doesn't have to do it Just at the surface? It can do it anywhere in the fluid. So you get the bubbles forming and slamming together at a lot of different places in the fluid. What's crazy is these bubbles slam together with such force that they can briefly reach up to 5,000 degrees Celsius and even produce a burst of light. I can show you this happening on a bigger scale.
