The video features a collaboration with Grant Sanderson to explore vortex rings. Initially, they attempt to create vortex rings through a square hole, predicting various outcomes. The experiment reveals that the square hole produces a wobbling effect, transitioning between square and diamond shapes. The video explains the fluid dynamics behind vortex rings and their wobble, using the Navier-Stokes equation. A laser experiment further visualizes the vortex, leading to new questions. The video concludes with an invitation to explore more on Grant's channel.
