Hello everyone, I am a Han, I believe that many friends who travel to Thailand know that the street performances in Thailand can be described as varied, one of the most magical performances, that is, Thai monks squatting in oil pots, most of the onlookers do not know the tricks, and even some people worship performers as gods.
So where is the mystery of this squat pot performance? When the monk saw in public that he could meditate all day in a pot of oil up to 100 degrees, many people wondered, could he really not feel the heat? But in fact, this oil pot has actually undergone special treatment, and the people sitting in it do not feel uncomfortable at all.
In fact, the biggest mystery of this trick iron pot stew itself is still in the liquid in the pot, scientists have revealed the secret, don't look at the top of the floating layer of oil, in fact, this pot is not oil at all, but vinegar, because the boiling point of vinegar is low, the density is larger than the oil, soon the oil layer will float up, not on the vinegar, wait until the vinegar is slightly heated, there will be someone to pour water into the iron pot, its principle is similar to the thermos cup in our lives. We all know that pouring boiling water into the thermos cup can keep the heat hot for a long time, but you don't feel hot at all when you take the cup.
This is because there is a vacuum layer in the thermos cup, which can play a role in heat insulation and heat dissipation. The same is true of this pot, except that the design of this layer is exactly the opposite of the thermos cup, and the monk sits in the insulated part, so although the monk sits in the center of the oil pot, and the hot oil is around him, he does not feel hot.
These are special methods designed by scientific verification, we should not be too surprised, although this practice can indeed grab people's attention, but for our own safety, do not easily try and imitate, which may not only be difficult to succeed, but also may play with fire and self-immolation. Follow the Han people and take you to explore the world.
