Icebreakers don't break ice the way you think

That's exactly how I thought they break through ice..

That’s what I was about to say 😂😂 it’s literally how I think all people think ice breakers do it

[@winstonwolff]

[@zacharymossman3593]

[@Volkswagenitalia.]

Thanks for this! I only knew about crushing the ice with the weight of the ship. I had no clue about the other methods, nor the combinations thereof. I appreciate you including some up and coming ships that are under construction.

[@FlatlanderGear]

Fantastic explanation. Technical and straightforward.

[@paanikki]

Foating sea ice (Drift ice) is moved by wind and currents. When sections of of drift ice collide, they became pack ice, and they may form ridges that look almost like mountain ranges. They can be up to 15 meters (50 ft) thick (most of this is not visible, under the water). Icebreakers try to avoid hitting those ridges whenever possible. But sometimes the only option is to go through the ridge.

[@artemelestudiante187]

Great video dude!

[@bmint]

This was quite interesting and very entertaining to me.. I don’t know why.. But thank you for this information ❤

[@matts2581]

That was fresh! :D TY for sharing. :)

[@ryanprice4845]

Idk where your from but 9.2 feet isn't as tall as my house my house has 8 foot ceilings

[@Chaos_God_of_Fate]

It's probably not practical and someone has surely already thought this idea but I wonder- what if you had a second hull for the front breaker end that could retract when not breaking ice or the opposite- it retracts when not in the open Sea, so you can reshape the front for optimal ice-breaking and open sea travel. Of course, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about beyond this video- so I'm just throwing poo at the wall :P

[@JM-jd7yp]

A very informative video. Thank you.

[@IHWKR]

Im curious how much ice breakers aid in melting sea ice. Im assuming it's negligible compared to climate change, but i also wouldnt be suprised if that assumption could be wrong.

[@richardk3347]

Let's not forget the impact of shipping disasters, especially in near pristine condition.

Hi, for one, I’m extremely disappointed icebreakers don’t break ice by telling a joke.

[@dimmacommunication]

Is there any picture/videos of the nuclear reactor ? it's like a micro reactor ?

[@wumi2419]

There should be information about OK-150 and OK-900(a) which were used in Soviet designs, not sure if there's anything easily accessible about newer reactors.

[@Alexandr-ss5hy]

[@dejanmrdja1000]

Austria has an ice breaker?

[@jonnyg6001]

When I read this title, I said "I know exactly how they break ice"

[@ricktan5663]

I want a cruise ship with an icebreaker hull.

[@fstlnj29]

I thought all the ice was gone.

[@najroe]

hearing that sound in real life is fascinating, it vibrates your entire chest like a drum. hever seen the huge russian one but Swedish and Finnish ones.

[@zuo3063]

Precisely how i thought the break ice. You told me nothing new.

[@Bizarreparade]

What you don't know about how I think ice breakers break ice is greater than the displacement of your average ice breaker.

[@ReNeGaDeM321]

This is exactly how I thought they break through

[@Thanos-ic8ki]

nuclear is the way for shipping industry but requires a special crew we could reduce a lot of emissions just by going nuclear ships

[@wumi2419]

Most companies won't do it because of increase in crew cost (additional guard and better engineers), and it also doesn't really matter outside of northern sea route because other shipping routes are better suited for ships refueling on the way. Also mega-ships which have similar power need to a nuclear reactor might be going out of fashion. Emissions will likely be reduced until one of such ships is damaged due to some sort of military action, which will cause enough pushback from the public for nuclear powered ships to be prohibited entirely.

[@kanedadry7642]

Very cool

[@lavender_heart5263]

so they break the ice how exactly anyone would think they do?

[@theshellchannel]

The biggest ones don't break head on.

[@airman9624]

Korean ship featured!❤

[@johnsrabe]

Yes they do.

[@davidwheatcroft2797]

You are out of date! Swedish icebreakers have propellers at the front which suck and smash the ice. 1 bridges, one in front, and 1 in back. Also hover craft were used - again pulling the air out-put one in front of ship.

[@drcurby]

neat. I'm no environmentalist, but I can't help but wonder if breaking all this ice increases the rate of melt?

[@ComeatMEOW]

I can imagine if it's warm enough they could...but it doesn't look like it's getting any warmer there...

[@peetsnort]

I have a similar concern with the rockets.they send through the atmosphere..thousands. doesn't it compromise the protection from the rays from space..?

[@Arcticpagan]

Yes it increases the surface area so it melts easier but ice on water melting does not impact sea levels

[@patricklinsley3676]

Small amount just due to how large ice sheets are and that they would likely refreeze after the shup passes. One of the bigger issues scientists are worried about (atleast if we start doing more shipping through the arctic) is black carbon from diesel exhaust scattering onto large areas of glaciers, changing albedo of the ice, and making it melt faster.

[@Arcticpagan]

That is more dependent on the season

[@henriks5008]

In fact they use the force of Yxfittan to break the ice.

[@XenoWitcher]

Про пеногенератор впервые слышу, очень интересно

[@papabits5721]

[@dezpotizmOFheaven]

How do you know what I think is the way they break ice? I already know how an ice breaker "works", so your video title is a straight forward lie. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@tigersilberhannes9153]

[@FlyAVersatran]

This video/channel would benefit greatly from a more dynamic/professional narrator. The information's interesting but it's delivered extremely dead-pan.

[@williamisl6612]

im pretty sure that this is a well trained Ai model due to some random stressing on certain words and a lot of random breaks in speech (probably in a attempt to imitate taking a breath) or some human with the most monotone and dead pan voice i have ever heard

There were no Ice breakers until a few hundred years ago. The ice caps were never broken since the beginning of time, now there are 1000's of ice breakers and the caps never rest. And we ask were their shrinking? 😒

[@themomorain]

Why don’t they have some sorts of wheels in the front so when the boat climbs onto the ice it can sort of pull itself along on the front wheels. Would be so much more efficient!

[@divoulos5758]

More moving parts in contact with the colliding ice means more maintenance

[@themomorain]

@@divoulos5758 1. Wheels wouldnt colide they just roll on the ice where it is not broken yet 2. Two spinning wheeels is literally 2 electic motors and two wheels and maybe some sort of piston that you can lift the thing when not in use. Thats literally almoast no maitanance and an insane amount of fuel savings your point is not valid at all.

[@divoulos5758]

@themomorain if you think what i think you think then this thing will get constantly stuck after breaking a piece of ice since the wheel pushing ice down would hit the next ice plate and then stop
