Basically here is a IN DEPTH explanation, the more water in it, the more bouncy it is BUT, the more water is in the the heavier it gets as well, the hot spot for bottle flipping is about 5% ish less than half way
Filling the bottle would make the center of mass stay at the center, which would make it less stable compared to just a little not of water, where the center of mass would be in thr bottom
I remember filling my bottles up to half way thinking that would make it easier. Days later I would have a sore arm from the amount of strength it took to flip it 😂
The IP address memes you showed at the video used local ip’s, and in fact most local ip’s start with 192. And that twitter one is definitely a local ip cause it has the default minecraft server port on the end of it and starts with 192 :D
i remember when i was showing my brother how a full bottle cant be flipped, and then the bottle bounced off the ground and landed and i felt like a boss, this was 5+ years ago
More water = Harder to flip + easier landing (unless there is too much water or the bottle's landing surface isn't big enough then it's bouncy) Less water = much easier to flip + harder to land because it can be moved so easily
I did this for a science fair project and made it to state won 4th place in physics or something. I was in middle school I believe crazy to think like 8 years later someone has my idea.
I remember when I was 6 in my village i bought a lil bottle of sprite when I got home I said "never give up kid" and then I threw that sprite at my table and it flipped and also THAT BOTTLE WAS FULL
