Even so, wouldn't you expect that you could crush an open empty beer bottle by putting a heavy enough weight on it? A human can't do it, but I would expect an elephant can.
- jdmoreira 10mo agoThat's not how pressure works if it's opened. The forces balance out
- bracketfocus 10mo agoThe pressure inside the bottle is the same as the outside. So it’s not the same as stomping on an empty bottle.
- FL410 10mo agoBut the forces are the same all around the bottle (again assuming it is open)
- rags2riches 10mo agoThe bottle wouldn't be empty though.
- RajT88 10mo agoThere is quite a lot of pressure put outside from the beer of a full bottle, but that little bit of air is probably enough to cause it to implode at some point. I'll be honest; I have no idea how to estimate that. I'm sure there are folks on here who can (and might). It's probably not as deep as you'd think.
- wolvoleo 10mo agoI'd imagine the cap will fail under the pressure long before the forces get high enough to implode the bottle.
