The classic whoopee cushion has long been the subject of laughter and embarrassment among audiences of all kinds, yet its mechanics remain mysterious to most people. Let’s delve into its inner workings in depth.
The Mechanics of Mischief
At its core, the whoopee cushion works on one simple principle: the release of compressed air. When someone sits unwittingly on it, their weight forces air out through small openings in its base – producing an audible hissing sound that mimics human flatulence. Plus, its rubber or plastic composition ensures repeated use for various pranks.
The Chemistry of Comedy
Whoopee cushions make noise through both air expulsion and vibration of their opening. As air rushes out of them, its rapid expulsion causes edges of openings to vibrate rapidly, producing the characteristic sound produced by whoopee cushions. Pitch and loudness of sound may differ depending on size of opening and pressure inside cushion.
Conclusion
Although the whoopee cushion may appear simple at first glance, its intricacies make for an impressive display of basic physics and engineering at play. No matter who uses or receives one as an amusing joke prank on whomever else. One cannot deny its clever design which has made the whoopee cushion an irreverent hit in generations past and present alike.
