Richard Hammond investigates how wind actually starts. He visits one of the windiest places on the planet, walks into the centre of a man-made tornado and creates a 10-metre high whirlwind - made of fire!

I used to think wind came from Holland with all their windmills .

[@strokebloke]

Brilliant. Love it.🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Mossyz.]

@@strokebloke Thank you :)

[@Deltawhiskeymike]

I used to think that a long time ago, everything was in black and white because of all of the old films and television shows and pictures were all in black and white (I know better now lol)

[@bentucker2301]

Makes sense

[@cleverusername9369]

Don't let Hammond deceive you

[@entschri]

i fell asleep with youtube on for like 8 hours and ended up here

[@brian1625]

Fun fact, PBS has a version of this documentary using the same footage and writing but with Richard Hammond cut out of it.

[@VeraBulatovic-s3b]

He shaking Earth and NOW.

[@natalie_kendel]

Richard is a TRULY wonderful presenter.

[@BigBlueJake]

Kind of strange seeing Reed Timmer and The Dominator looking like they had to arrange a secret meeting to pick up Richard Hammond and appear on his program.

[@thejewce7636]

the look on the drone pilots face when he was asked to get really close up on the fire twister was priceless

[@SeekTheTruthAndTruth]

Wow! He goes beyond limits to explore things. Appreciate this 👍

[@metropod]

Reed “there’s no other vehicle like this”… except for the the first two Dominators… and the two TIV’s…

[@PhilipWe]

He meant that the dom 3 has more advanced technology than the others

[@DMPB-fi2ir]

As an update recent weather on Mt Washington this winter, Feb. 4th set some records with gusts of 204 kilometers per hour atop the peak saw the wind chill drop to minus 78C

Reed tends to run late often but he usually doesn't miss the storms

[@BenSHammonds]

good program, enjoy Richard on this. Wind of course has to do with the air pressures, the movement of air to and from low or high pressure areas. I sure dig Richard riding around with Reed Timmer :D good stuff

[@davefrancisjarrett3563]

8.05secs (or there abouts) Richard is battling the wind, which reminds me of going to work, 3 miles walking against the wind the morning after the Great Storm of '87... Far too windy to cycle that morning.

[@cun7sathome]

That was the night i was brought home from being born

[@feiryfella]

This is excellent!

[@426superbee4]

Wind is made from Hot and Cold temperatures, The high and lows as these temperature collide, and change these molecules, Makes STORMS. The stronger the storms, the stronger the winds. Same with the Jet Stream. That why wind is Humid or Dry

[@janhansen554]

Richard is best. Funny to know, no animal or plant on land would not survive if wind didnt exists.

[@scebacpm]

well I'm living far far away from these tornadoes but I don't know about u guys living near these places as Reeds and his type of people storm chasers are so neglected and underrated as risking their lives to study and research about this events to create and design safety warning andprecaution for the mass and help save lives as much as possible and now you tell me where is the gratitude and appreciation will be graded and you have only 43 comments...😨😦😢😰😞😩

[@kswis]

That much $ on a wind machine I would think that would be able to lift Hammond right up, very cool none the less.

[@imhoman8423]

Richard Hammond's narration is top tier

[@Dexter_76]

I agree 💯

[@TheAmbientUniverse]

"This car climbed Mount Washington"! It no longer has any brakes or transmission.

[@tommaheady5230]

It's a pity you didn't get blown off tv screens

[@jellifywas4641]

Cool!

[@ilovebeansOO]

Why does Reed wear his earphones like that 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@eng-xv8bc]

maybe he was in Australia and had to wear the earphones upside down

[@PrivateJellyJose]

Seems that all the wind and rain comes to England

[@viktormaniasmundsson2531]

Your not the first to walk into a twister bro Hate too break it to you but myself and lots of people have done so😂

[@mansoormannix1753]

I used to think the winds comes from earth rotation and controlled by Ocean and trees around! Am I right?

[@willestus9120]

In the lab test couldn't you scale up speed measurements to full size

[@ngetichdavid10]

Richard you're just the best, the way you deliver your content is just spectacular, you just explain science concepts very clearly.

[@MeaHeaR]

It was funny see that Asian Chineses man be speek with verry funny Accénts 😃😃😂😂😁😁😀😂😄😄😅😅

[@roberthiggins1142]

So if im in the southern Hemisphere which i am do i need the wind in my face or at my back?

[@heatherstub]

That would depend on your situation. If you're in a car, and you need to pull over, you want to turn it so that it's hitting the front rather the side or back. If you're standing outside, and you have nowhere to get inside, you still want to face the wind, because you're still more likely to be able to brace yourself and avoid getting knocked over. Just remember that a cyclone spins clockwise. You're more likely to be blown forward if the wind is to your back. If the wind is spinning counterclockwise, it's coming from your right if you're facing it, and of course, the opposite is true if it's spinning clockwise.

[@l3gendarylag805]

[@Benjamin-ti1sd]

It would be great to add infos in km/h and kilos... as the rest of the world has no clue about mph and pounds ;-)

[@ericwollam5532]

I just discovered this because it popped in my recommended. I can only imagine jeremy was also supposed to be in this documentary but richard didn't tell him he would be filming in america. So Jeremy just shows up to the BBC and screams out "HAMMOND!!!"

[@quiltbag_and_more]

Science class loved this. Thank you for the amazing content!

[@arfabarmcake2776]

Most of the wind 💨 that circulates around the UK originates from my bottom 💩💩💨💨

[@enough1494]

LoL. From the south, the north, the east and west. Sometimes southwest, southeast, on and on, and tornadoes…….woo-hooooooooooooo!

[@MarieWest-tbic]

Yes!!! Richard Hammon and Tim Reed! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bendarbyjones172]

Reverse which bit for Southern Hemisphere? Not very clear on that dicky.

[@hogwashmcturnip8930]

Errr, the bit he just said? That most people understood? It is hardly the presenters faultif the viewer is hard of thinking.

[@stevenherrold5955]

THAT'S AN EASY QUESTION !! the heat of sun and the cold from north and south pole are the engine and the fuel this is basic science and another reason why the earth is a globe ................. NOT FLAT EARTH !!!!! if the earth were flat there would be NO WINTER/ SPRING/ SUMMER / FALL

[@mattdavis4701]

Not really. You just been conditioned to believe that way and never learned the alternative.

[@l3gendarylag805]

U do know things can be directed like heat or cold.

[@ellenbryn]

As soon as the scientist is late, you know it's Reed Timmer and his ridiculous,... thing.

[@zoeyrochellezhombie829]

I don't like Timmer. He's too arrogant to be a tornado chaser.

[@zoeyrochellezhombie829]

They called a scientist and Timmer shows up. Someone messed up.
