Testing some camera mounts and positions as well as a new audio recording device. It's obvious the old GoPro under the tail is not up to the task, and the editing software (Pinnacle Studio 19) made it difficult to synch the external audio correctly.

Alvin is my favorite deep submersible of Theseus. Every upgrade has made it better and safer. 👍
Brilliant. May I use a brief clip for my history of Jinkin/Jenkin please? Doug Pickford
Looks a little better than that anxious crew in that exploding coffin
Well alote better
I WOULD FEEL SAFE GOING ON A DIVE ON THE TITANIC WITH BRUCE BECAUSE HE IS A PROFESSIONAL AND HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING UNLIKE OCEANGATE WHO I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN AND ARE A BUNCH OF AMATEURS ! ! !💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
1:54 "We Have Built A Sub That DOESN'T Need A COMPUTER" That Said My QUESTION Then Is WHAT Is DRIVING/POWERING Those DIGITAL Gauges AND COMPUTER DISPLAYS (Glass Cockpit/Flightdeck Panels) ? ? ?🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The operative word is "need". Alvin uses multiple computers for various tasks, but is capable of being safely operated manually without a computer.
My question is "What the heck is driving your capitalisation?". 😢😅😢😅😊😂😢😮😅😮😊😊😂😮😢😅😊😂😮😊😢😅😊😂😂😂😂😮😮😅😢😅😊😅😅😢😅😅
what a real piece of shit with all those buttons, i could easily replace all of that with a logitech controller.
this is created by real scientists and engineers instead of conmen ans incompetent morons
Yea but where's the gamecube controller?!
Alvin is amazing, I didn't know it was still in use. The current technology level is awesome, so much safety built in with analogue controls to be sure it works. The people who built Titan should have learned from this.
It's sad how I love anything and everything mechanical to the point of furnishing a house completely with something thrown away I fixed yet never asked my father who's been on dives in ALVIN and others over a half century. Another sad thing are the roughly 5,200 cigarette butts I've picked up just on the frontage to the state highway my house of 7 months among other trash. At least you'd think about the lake or forest fires before throwing a lit or just a butt that takes too long to decompose. Apologies for running off subject but I love nature and the oceans as much as my father. Wish him well from yet another cancer related surgery. Thanks. Edit: This is exactly who you'd want building and piloting what has a remarkable amount of attention now and to me is shocking.
A very interesting vid, not sure i am brave enough to go down in this Sub, but it is impressive
Where's the Xbox Controller!?!
Has anyone ever had sex inside the sub and if not, why not?
This is a REAL submarine - operated by REAL submariners
Coffee machine? Toilet? Day bed? Get this sorted!
This is what I would expect for a $250k ticket…not the surplus store DIY special. I think if the Titan victims had seen this video - they’d have thought twice before getting into that sinking cigar tube. What is super sad is that Hamish Harding went down to the deepest point in the ocean with Victor Vescovo in that magnificent sub “Limiting Factor”, and still fell for the assurances fed by Ocean Gate’s late CEO.
Will someone tell me why a billionaire wouldn't rent this marvel to get down into the abyss? I mean.... You have this, you have the Limiting Factor submersible which looks very good (if still available), and (unless I am mistaken), you have those great Russian submersibles for rent. So. If money is not a concern.... why not use one of those?
Cause rich people are egomaniacal clowns who think they know better than the engineers.
Alvin is a U.S. research asset that is owned by the US Navy and operated for scientific discovery by WHOI, as such she is not set up for tourism, even by billionaire tourists.
Where's the Playstation controller? I'm not going under water without one.
To me ALVIN is a trusted name, I’ve heard of this sub for decades now.
They seem to be using some 50-year-old white guys with 30-plus years of marine environment experience.
Alvin’s engineers need a raise 💰
So this is what a submersible is supposed to look like. Having watched various videos about Titan it was clearly criminal in its design.
The titan team, the ENTIRE team, wouldn’t be qualified to clean the Alvin
Alvin is legendary.
Ever since I focused on the whole Titan debacle, I wondered what would I have done if I were one of the few who could have went down there, before this happened? I have no doubt once I heard the hull was made of carbon fiber, I would have had questions, and my doubts. Then if I saw some of the other submarines like Alvin, I would really have my doubts. At that point, I would seek out expert advice.
so very cool
This chap is really interesting to listen to.
Titan is Alvin’s abortion
Needs an Xbox controller tho
How on Earth did the people of Oceangate get fooled by a fool?
Alvin is lowkey one of the most impressive machines humanity ever built
The magic to alvin is it's a sphere
Alvin is disassembled inspected and reassembled every 5 years and then inspected by the US NAVY and is owned by the navy
Compared to the dumb Titan, Alvin is very hard and precise. Carbon fiber submarines were the most idiotic submarines in history.
This is proper engineering
THIS is how an engineer should discuss his work. THIS is how engineers should engineer innovation within the bounds of the rulebook. Stockton Rush was an engineer, but flaunted his LG controller & completely digital interface housed within his uncertified sub. World of difference.
Alvin is a icon In the submersible world
No wonder OceanGate was a pariah. It takes a lot to do dangerous things safely. A lot that they did not see fit to do.
Mercury trim system. Coolest thing I learnt today.
A bright mind.
lol Stockton Rush was no genius
I was just visiting Cape Cod and really wanted to go on the Woods Hole tour but my wife didn't want to :(
I can't believe he went with the more qualified team to build this sub and didn't use young kids straight outta college.
Although Alvin is some 60 or so years old, almost every component, including the pressure hull, has been upgraded/replaced at some point. Very few if any components are original to the early '60s version. A true ship of Theseus.
Pft.. Too many Buttons. I know one guy was doing this with a PlayStation controller
Alvin is a masterpiece of engineering. I didn't know anything about the construction details of how a deep-sea submersible should be built to safely operate year after year at Titanic-type depths and pressures before the Ocean Gate incident. The deep sea community knew exactly how Titan was constructed....maybe it's not their job to save the world, but I am wondering why they didn't speak up more vigorously to condemn the shoddy vehicle, especially when they knew it was going to be used to carry tourists down to the Titanic?
They literally did speak up. A consortium of engineers came forward. It was in the news at the time as well. There was also a whistleblower who was one of the main consulting engineers on the project. Google it. It’s not hard to find. What allowed them to operate the uncertified sub with tourists was the fact that they did so in international waters where no governing body has jurisdiction.
@@Laminar-Flow Yes, in the past people spoke. Did any scientist or engineer publicize or voice their concern during the days leading up to the dive that ended in tragedy?
@@Cleatus46 During the DAYS leading up to the incident? What are you talking about? Engineering a submersible takes years. Testing it takes years. This titan sub was used over 50x before the incident. Will Kohnen, chairman of the peer-review engineering group Marine Technology Society penned a letter to the CEO in 2018 co-signed by over 20 engineers asking oceangate to stop what they were doing and certify the sub (pending more testing. They warned about the use of a filament wound carbon fiber hull because in engineering, carbon is not what you use in repeated stress-strain/pressurization-depressurization situations. David Lockridge, an engineer, was the former pilot of the sub and was fired when he raised concerns about the hulls integrity. They sued him for leaking confidential info. Lol. Many contracted engineers also blew the whistle on the project. You don’t just wait for years after construction to blow the whistle in engineering a project like this. Do your research and you’ll realize that plenty of actual engineers with experience in submersibles came out publicly. Thus, everyone working at the company as an engineer was for the most part hired out of college as non PE’s (not having worked under a certified engineer for 3 years) and did not have the chance to speak out about anything because of a lack of experience with submersibles. Or, they feared for their jobs like Lockridge. Also, like I said, the sub was launched in international waters where no governing body can stop them. This is the retarded CEO’s fault, who I might add had an engineering degree but did not know how to use it.
@@Laminar-Flow You keep citing professional concern over the construction of the vehicle from over 5 years ago. I am asking you to provide evidence that the professional community publically voiced concern within a week of the ill-fated dive. James Cameron in a recent interview after the disaster, stated that he wished he would have spoken up.....I wonder if there were others that should have but remained silent...for whatever reason?
@@Cleatus46 You dumbass, have you not read anything I said? I am a certified PE. Graduated in 2019 from a t20. Google what a fucking PE is because you clearly have no clue. In fact, it is very obvious that you clearly do not know how a single facet of engineering works. Especially if you think that of the 25+ expeditions the sub went on, experts must have voiced their opinions within days of the incident when it had been on.. 25-30+ expeditions with multiple dives each. They voiced their opinion when they saw fucked up engineering decisions being made. Not when after 100 people had gone down and they started to get a bad feeling about the situation. You read into what Cameron said too much. He’d know what was going on in terms of the surface ship. He does not know what happened to the sub itself. Clearly, it imploded. Regardless, any engineer would analyze the construction of the sub (which happened years ago, like I said) and immediately realize that filament wound carbon fiber WILL FAIL after a certain number of pressurization-depressurization events. They didn’t even use an autoclave, haha. Do your research; it’s not like before every single expedition OceanGate had, some random engineer would voice concern. Especially if that engineer likes their job.
White guys in their 50’s sure do know how to make a safe deep sea submersible.
Launched: June 5, 1964
And that MF had a sub with one button a monitor and a ps controler
Needs less buttons. Should be one or even better voice controlled. ‘Dive and make it quick I need to be back for tennis practice’
