What is a hydrofoil and how to make your own experiment!
James from BMT Group explains what a hydrofoil is and demonstrates how it works with a simple experiment you can try at home.
Hovercraft are one part boat, one part airplane and one part helicopter. It traps a cushion of air underneath itself and then floats along on top of it. This air cushion holds it high above waves and land obstructions, meaning it can travel on land or water.

How do tall ships stay upright?
มุมมอง 2.8K7 ปีที่แล้ว
James from Cammell Laird explains what stops tall ships falling over with a simple experiment using a butter tub and a clothes peg! Ships are built so that they can’t easily flip over - or capsize. Whether a boat capsizes or not has a lot to do with its centre of gravity. We think of gravity as a force that pulls things downward (toward Earth's centre), but it doesn't always work like that. Som...
How do ships float?
มุมมอง 4927 ปีที่แล้ว
Kyle from Cammell Laird proves why ships float with a simple experiment that you can try at home using some everyday tin foil! Boats partly float and partly sink according to its own weight and how much weight it carries, and that the greater the total of these two weights, the lower it sits in the water. One of the most basic rules is that an object will sink if it weighs more than the same vo...
Why can't ships travel as fast as cars?
มุมมอง 1.3K7 ปีที่แล้ว
Matt from Cammell Laird shows you why ships can't travel as fast as cars with a simple experiment! Whilst small speed boats can get up to 80 knots, large cruise ships - even those built for speed - can only get to speeds of about 30 knots (one knot is one nautical mile per hour, and nautical miles are a little bit longer than miles on land. So 21 knots is about 24 miles an hour - and 30 knots i...
Why can't ships go to the bottom of the sea?
มุมมอง 1857 ปีที่แล้ว
Joe from Cammell Laird heats up an empty Coke can to demonstrate why ships can't travel to the ocean floor without being crushed! When you’re on dry land there’s pressure all around from the air but because it’s equal to the pressure inside our bodies, we don’t notice it. But at a kilometre under sea level, the pressure is 1,500 pounds per square inch. That's like the weight of a small car push...

Craig from Cammell Laird explains how a hovercraft works and shows you how you can make your own mini hovercraft at home using a balloon and a CD! Hovercraft are one part boat, one part airplane and one part helicopter. It traps a cushion of air underneath itself and then floats along on top of it. This air cushion holds it high above waves and land obstructions, meaning it can travel on land o...
