Hydrofoils & Mega Ships: The New Age of Sea Travel | Power: New Horizons

[@davidjackson2115]

Wow. Thanks for this. There are many good bits of information & knowledge here that would take years past hindsight {simple truths} to figure out / understand. Very useful as well as entertaining.

[@jonlamontagne]

The problem is most of what the "spider boat's" fixing can be achieved with an inverted bow also called a reverse bow and X-Bow which was a proven concept when the Vikings used that hull structure to cross the Atlantic. Ironically the Atlantic Bow that was developed by a certain European country that couldn't play nice in the first half of the 20th century! If you are familiar with US naval ships think Zumwalt Class Destroyer. If this interests you might want to check out the field of Fluid Dynamics it deals more with Aerodynamics now for cars and planes but in a gas state, most matter still operates like a fluid so it carries over.

[@Mike-ccu]

Very interesting to watch !

[@CaidicusProductions]

A video I had no idea I needed to watch. What an entertaining "it just played automatically after the stuff I usually watch" video. Thanks Spark, you always have the most interesting watches that make figuring out the world and universe around us so entertaining.

If you are familiar with US naval ships think Zumwalt Class Destroyer just far more of a curve well actuall ya curve at all is unlike this hull. Problem is with warships you don't want a wet deck and these are usually only dry in calm conditions. They tend to cut down into waves more than cut through them. But on a cruise ship, tanker, or just a cargo mover speed is less needed and at slower speeds and large enough hull they are very cost effective as they increase bouncy, reduce drag, and increase vision (in the forward bow tower like the X-Bow for example).

I saw one unsinkable little rescue boat utilized by firefighters, and I found it essential for a rescue boat as well as I believe would be good for a scout and surveillance small or medium size boat.

@6:10 it was said that "this was first tested on motorized boat in the late 19th century". Did they mean late 1800s, or late 1900s. 1900s and 19th century are 100 years difference.

Blows my mind how 160 horsepower could move a ship the size of Queen Mary....🤣😂🤣

[@bassmith448bassist5]

I thought Bluebird used an Orenda jet engine.

[@jeremyshepard8241]

160 horsepower for the RMS Queen Mary? She used 200,000 shaft horsepower total on four shafts...each shaft having four turbines of 12,500 horsepower each. I made one Atlantic crossing on Queen Mary and visited one of her two engine rooms during that voyage. The question "When does this place get to New York?" was totally appropriate.

[@davidkgreen]

My Grandmas younger brother actually docked the Mary in New York with out tugs and had a famous race with the SS United States.Actually met the guy in the early sixties,he was a character and a half.

[@k0nanick]

Normandie's end of life story wasn't told/./ During the Second World War, Normandie was seized by U.S. authorities at New York and renamed USS Lafayette. In 1942, while being converted to a troopship, the liner caught fire and capsized onto her port side and came to rest, half submerged, on the bottom of the Hudson River at Pier 88 (the site of the current New York Passenger Ship Terminal). Although salvaged at great expense, restoration was deemed too costly and she was scrapped in October 1946.

[@topspeed250k5]

"Hydrofoils were first used on motorised craft in the late 19th Century"???🤣 C'mon, man! Get it together!

[@jackbaker8512]

more like early 20th century. Alexander Graham Bell worked with the technology starting around 1908, but he did not invent it.

[@amonmcranny2654]

At 25:42 - the Queen Mary had a whopping 160 hp - my Honda Civic is much more powerful than that!

[@markmitchell450]

That's per engine or totally wrong Even with a transfer box 160hp isn't going to do much That's more likely to 16000 hp then run through a gear/transfer box

[@MrTheWeedMan007]

Has to be a total mistake. 80000 tons moving under only 160hp doesn't even make sense.

So you have a boat without power sitting on a sea of Hydrogen and Oxygen and we're still paddling? I don't get it! I'm not talking perpetual motion I'm talking using water and not just any water but salt water - as much salt water as you like because it's going to end up water anyway and in this event we're floating in it? When is someone going to invent a high speed foiling transport craft that takes it's power off or out of the water - !!NOT perpetual motion!! I'm talking using water - Hydrogen and Oxygen to power a high speed foiling transport craft - I mean the water's right there right? even the temperature difference between the outside of the hull and the inside can generate power right, the sun generates power right, the wind can yes? so a big ship with containers on is sitting there - in the water - generating power and all people see is electrolysis as a problem? if there's electrolysis there's potential so exploit it - turn the hull into a battery/pump. Nearly every great invention has been because someone fixed a problem and found something interesting and then "Oh Look!" and another monkey said "That's Electricity" and a light went on. When are we going to see that 2/3rds of our planet is fuel that costs nothing if your sitting in water?

[@UnitSe7en]

I think you underestimate many things.

[@creepybihon4451]

Hydrogen in gas and liquid forms are hard to handle, can cause burns and can explode easily.. Super expensive to with the scale it needs to reach to run ships amd it is not an easy task as you claim.

[@ingoos]

Recent advances in the scientific understanding of life.... also led to the understanding that the universe had a beginning aka. creation.... And that the processes, during the initial conditions, apparently are so fine-tuned that it is statiscally absurdly & highly improbable to have resulted from randomness chance and, therefore, instead by deliberate intelligent design. So, man is also very likely created & not a "product of the sea." DNA & its information only bolsters the fine-tuning argument.

[@stingingmetal9648]

It's because its a cycle. We end up becoming so advanced and then restart the cycle.

Is this written for children? No plot, and not about ships

[@13minutestomidnight]

The title is incorrect, but this is very clearly about naval engineering innovations (and associated applications), and it discusses them competently and on topic. A wrong title just pisses off youtube viewers. Btw, this is probably aimed at an audience that includes older children anyway. I'm sure children can understand this pretty easily (certainly pre-teens at least), just like almost any documentary, so as long as the show isn't made in a country that treats children like they have no brains, shows like this would likely fall into family viewing. It's sad but in in places like America, there's a cultural stupidity so strong that adults routinely act like complete idiots anyway, setting up terribly low expectations for kids (I mean, is most of the population actually brainwashed to not think critically or ask questions???).
