Then what happened to Concordia ?
Maybe after you have more than three videos for the channel...
Front collission would have ripped revers throughout
@@iulian9608 Completely different circumstances
Iceberg was made of liquid nitrogen?
his calculations were NOT wrong. he calculated it exactly. 4 compartments. anything else you sink. he was spot on in the design and how it worked!
The first compartment was not breached above the forepeak tank, so the tank test is slightly incorrect. Titanic had a chance of floating, even with Boiler room 6 flooded. The nail in the coffin was the breach in boiler room 5's forward coal bunker. Technically, Titanic had 6 compartments breached.
I can't start to imagine how much effort went into making this video, Sabin. Excelent job!
Thank you for your kind words :)
Not that much when Quartermaster Robert Hitchens was referred to as the "steering guy."
Or perhaps Frederick Fleet and Reginald Lee being labelled the crows nest guy.
Please. 🤦🏼♂️
😢😢😢😢😢
This is absolutely brilliant@@SabinsMechanical
The best video
4:14 One minor error - the steam turbine and its central propeller could not be put into reverse, it could only run forwards or not at all
That's one downside. The other is the sheer amount of steam it takes to run the thing. Running it on the exhaust of the triple expansion engines was a pretty good efficiency gain actually, instead of having dedicated boilers, it runs off the waste heat coming out of the other engines. Like a turbocompressor in a car, except this one goes directly towards propulsion.
Thank you for pointing it out and sorry for the mistake. I will fix this issue in the future Titanic videos.
Then why is the 2 bridge in the stern
The other two weren't put on reverse too
Also the central propeller is 3 bladed btw
@@AlejandroPineda-nq8so The docking wheel situated at _Titanic’s_ stern assisted with maneuvering and docking in and out of ports.
Its presence effectively serves as a redundant set of navigational elements to be used under any particular circumstance.
This is 1000 better that any Bright Side video, lol
They just make a ton of random videos without even knowing what they are talking is true or not.....to get views
That doesn't say much at all.
First Officer Murdock did not throw RMS Titanic's engines into reverse as part of his iceberg avoidance maneuvers. Judging by the short distance between ship and berg upon discovery of the iceberg he simply cut the steam to the reciprocating engines while allowing the ship's inertia to help port around the iceberg. As the wheelhouse telegraphs didn't directly control the engines like modern day bridge controls he likely knew there wasn't enough time to execute a crashstop order. Aside from steering, all helm orders regarding adjustments in speed, etc. required crew members below to make manual changes to the ship's propulsion system which, depending on crew alertness, entailed a turn around time of varying lengths. Plus doing so would eventually negate rudder control buy reversing the waterflow passing over the rudder thus causing the opposite effect of the rudder's hard over position.
It's important to understand that the rivets used below the waterline was necessarily lower in quality due to the inability of using Harland & Wolff's hydraulic rivet machine at the angles involved in the varying contours along the ship's bow and stern areas. Rivets along this section of the hull had to be driven in by a two man riveting team. The steel alloy, incorrectly referred to as wrought iron, was actually steel with a low carbon composition. The higher the carbon content in steel, the stronger the steel however, it is much harder to work with. Only with hydraulic riveting can high quality high carbon rivets be rivetted into place. Softer, low carbon steel rivets that can more easily be hand riveted between two hull plates were used along the curvy areas of the ship's hull below the waterline where the hydraulic riveter couldn't be used. Had higher quality steel been used along these sections of the ship's hull a two man riveting team simply could not achieve the seal between two plates before the rivet cooled.
Even today there aren't many ships that utilize a double hull system with an outer and inner skin holding back ingress from entering the hull. Such a double hull configuration only covers the bottom. Such double membrane systems have caused destabilizing lists due to uneven flooding caused by the ingress of water along the extreme edges of the vessel. We only have to look at the modern cruise ship Costa Concordia to see such a system wasn't used. Upon collision with underwater rock formations there was just one layer of hull that was punctured, not two.
Hello! can I get any sources for this, I always thought they actually ´put the engines into reverse.
@@MrChilongasoBritish inquiry, testimonies of Frederick Scott, Frederick Barrett, Thomas Dillon.
What effect would running the ship in reverse after the collision have on the flooding of the forward compartments? Could this have also slowed the flooding?
@@user-qb2vf6kg3b I believe it's been shown that running a ship in reverse with allisions suffered in the hull's bow area has the effect of reducing the head pressure thus the rate of ingress into the hull. Obviously the night of April 14th the ship's bridge wasn't in the business of conducting theoretical experiments of the like. Indeed moments after the collision Captain Smith ordered Titanic's engines to half-ahead while the ship was being sounded by its officers until members of the black gang warned the officers that the ship's engines needed to be cut off completely as the forward motion actually increased the rate of ingress.
@@MrChilongaso First Officer Murdoch who was in command of the bridge unfortunately didn't survive, so there's no testimony from that first hand source. However we have plenty of evidence supporting the fact that the ship wasn't put into reverse. Frederick Barrett, chief fireman in Boiler Room No. 6 gave testimony that before the collision the engine telegraphs signalled STOP. Upon seeing this he immediately yelled to the stokers to "Shut the dampers!" You do this to help reduce steam pressure being fed to the engines further abaf in the ship. The other thing you do is to divert incoming steam pressure via a bypass valve straight into the engine's condensing units converting the steam back into water which is fed back into the boilers. If there had been a helm order of "full reverse" the engines would have required an uninterrupted supply of steam meaning the black gang below would continue feeding the boilers with coal as normal. 🙃
Edward Wilding, an engineer at Harland and Wolff, calculated that the total area of the hull open to the sea was approximately 12 square feet. If there had been the huge gashes in the hull shown in some films and animations, the ship would have sunk much more quickly than it did.
Quite a few mistakes or omissions here. Let me address a few of them:
*Titanic's designer:* Thomas Andrews wasn't the only designer of the Olympic-class ships, and he wasn't even originally in charge of the project. That honor fell to The Right Honorable Alexander Carlisle with Andrews and another naval architect, Edward Wilding, as his junior assistants. Andrews eventually took over about three years into the project and two years into the first two ships' construction after Carlisle retired in June 1910.
*Titanic's Captain's Ideas:* Captain Smith was certainly a very smart and experienced man, but much of what he did was in consultation with Thomas Andrews who, along with several other Harland and Wolff shipyard employees who went on the maiden voyager as part of builder's "Guarantee Group".
*Terminology:* The "driver" of a ship is a helmsman, and the wheel used to steer the ship was in a special room on the bridge called the "wheelhouse". The helmsman that night was a man by the name of Robert Hitchens, who was one of seven quartermasters of the ship, and he would've been the one to carry out First Officer William Murdoch's "Hard a' starboard" order to avoid the iceberg. The wheelhouse itself was kept separate so that low-light conditions and comfortable temperatures maintained for the helmsman while providing him windows to view through the windows of the gangway shelter, but the windows usually had blinds drawn and the helmsman relied on the compass bearing and orders from the officers. When in port, the wheel in the gangway shelter would be used along with the order telegraphs.
*Left out crucial flaw of Titanic's engines:* Titanic and her two sisters' single turbine engine did indeed make use of triple expansion engines' exhaust steam, but there was no provision for the turbine engine to work in reverse. When the engines were ordered Full-astern and then Stop, the center propeller would not have functioned, and thus there would've been no direct flow of water from it over the propeller which in turn would reduce its effectiveness slightly.
*Titanic's steel quality:* Actual tests with samples taken from the wreck show that the steel on Titanic was actually fairly good for the day and the use of best-best quality rivets were used in the area where the ice would've scraped along the hull. Further tests shows that even using modern steel would not have made much difference as the forces acting in the collision were simply too overwhelming.
*Titanic and ice warnings:* The two wireless operators were not White Star Line employees, they were working for the Marconi Wireless Company and wireless was still a big novelty, mostly provided on ships for passengers to send messages or receive them for a fee. Ship-to-ship navigation messages were more of a courtesy rather than a requirement. Captain Smith did not ignore the ice messages he did get, steering Titanic on a course that added 200 nautical miles to the journey in order to avoid ice. Unfortunately, this wasn't far enough and the day before the sinking, the wireless set broke down. But rather than switch to the lower-power backup set as Marconi policy dictated, the two operators spent over 6 hours fixing the main set, and then had to deal with a backlog of message traffic. Some of the last ice warnings on the day of the sinking were lost in this backlog and never reached the bridge.
The ship's steel tested out at 378 megapascals in stress tests of both 1998 and 2018 - to put it into modern context, passenger ships these days are built at around 400. Meaning the Titanic's steel quality was excellent for the day, the very best that they had available.
Also, she wasn't thrown in reverse. The engines were only ordered All Stop.
@@pc_buildyb0i935 That's a matter of some question, and the exact order given varies.
There's some really great discussion on this on Encyclopedia Titanica that's well worth going over.
"Titanic's Final Manoeuvre" by by Captain Lewis Marmaduke Collins quotes from the inquiry:
"To the U.S. Senate inquiry, Fourth Officer Boxhall said he heard First Officer Murdoch tell Captain Smith, "I put her hard astarboard and run the engines full astern, but it was too close; she hit it before I could do any more. I intended to port around it."
To the British enquiry he said he heard Murdoch tell Captain Smith: " I hard-astarboarded and reversed the engines, and I was going to hard-a-port round it but she was too close. I could not do any more."
For the sake of the video, I'm just pointing out that the order given would result in steam being cutoff to the turbine and why.
Too boring to read but I believe you. You use big words.
@@bradador1 dude just used chatgpt to write all that lol
@@deathtoy101 glad you noticed, it had no character. AI is getting impressive tho
I’m now satisfied with the true process of how the Titanic sank; that the crew did everything possible to keep it from sinking.
The creator of this videos is very talented at explaining engineering concepts. Great job!
We need more videos. Thanks:)
The crew was negligent in not heeding the ice warning and traveling at a fast rate of speed
I appreciate your work really much, Head on collision is accurate.
No, first boiler room also had a leak that's not shown here.
Made no sense to me..Why didn't the water tight bulkheads go all the way up to the ceiling why were they constructed like an ice tray where the water could spill over into the next one instead of just being isolated to the damaged areas??
I was thinking the same doesnt it nullifies the whole concept of water tight compartments
Thought as well too. They did all job and at last, nothing was done.
Because the bulkheads would have interfered with the passenger hallways in the upper class areas..in other words there would have been doors to crawl through that the designers didn't want in those areas..plus no one imagined a gash in the hull over the length of 5 compartments. Had 4 compartments flooded, she doesn't go down at the bow, 5 compartment, she does. Just bad luck.
I guess you could compare it to the world trade buildings. They wernt designed to survive an airliner smashing into them. The Titanic, they never figured an situation like a glancing blow along side would never happen. Talk about a perfect storm!
@@johnj.baranski6553 Well the water interfered in the passenger compartment a lot more than the bulkheads did bad luck yes bad design too they could have been designed the bulkheads and passenger compartments much better
The breakup happened between funnels 2 & 3, not 3 & 4 like the movie suggests. The maximum angle should be around 22-23 degrees instead of 45. James Cameron even admitted his movie got it wrong. By the way, 6 compartments were breached, although barely. It was right on the edge of boiler room 5, and water did enter. The Captain's name was E. J. Smith (Edward John Smith). The Titanic's main designer was Alexander Carlisle, and Thomas Andrews took over for his uncle in the late stages of the design process. As far as speed, Captain Smith followed Maritime protocol. It states that a ship is to slow down in conditions of fog or dangerous weather. The ship is only to be stopped if an obstacle is spotted. The weather was absolutely clear. Smith also took the Southern Transatlantic Route to try to avoid ice fields altogether. It's a longer route, but icebergs tend not to appear on that route because icebergs usually melt completely before entering that lane. One of the debates about the head-on collision is the secondary recoil force, that it could cause structural failure with the ripple. No ship at that time was designed to hit an indestructible barrier, especially a 46,000+ ton ship. When you say "turned left", the correct naval command is hard -a-starboard, which at the time meant "hard left".
Nice video. I would like to precise that the turbine could not be reversed, so the center propeller could only be stopped. Also to start the turbine, the ship had to be already in motion (at least 5 knots, but not sure), because the steam had to build up after being used 3 times (they were Triple Expansion Engines, the steam was use 3 times in the reciprocating engines and one more time in the turbine, then it was recycled back into the system (cooled then condensed then resteamed). I'm an heavy Titanic enjoyer since I was a kid, and I love your video so far (barely 5 minutes into it) I just wanted to add that detail
13:52 if you do the math, he will find that you are wrong here as well. Titanic is said to have had lifeboats for only half passengers however, this number was for a sold out titanic which the ship was not sold out. The number of lifeboats was sufficient to evacuate every single passenger as well as 100 crew members. Unfortunately, the officers lowered lifeboats have full.
This video is absolutley incredible, easily the best and easy to understand explanation. Definetly earned a sub
Really great video! Got a better understanding of what happened that night in 1912
The amount of life boats used was in fact legal, as they could go back for more people after transfer. Legal amount 16, they used 20
Yes, but their assumption that you can use the lifeboats several times because just a short transfer to another ship is necessary was quite naive, because in the mid of the Atlantic, you cannot know how distant the next ships will be and how long they will take to reach your ship. After all, it is an ocean and not just a small lake or the Hudson river, where you can expect to get quick help.
Titanic
@@goldfing5898 exactly, quite stupid of them
@@shaynewheeler9249 precisely
@@goldfing5898 Not even the modern times have 100% capacity for lifeboats lol only 75% and the rest is in water, so they claim 150% capacity but you would be in water holding the ship (capacity) no in the lifeboat - so in modern times in cold sea only 75% coul dbe saved.
So instead of Titanic where some 25% survived in modern era about 50-60%% would have survived at the same temperature if you thin kabout it
This video needs more view
it was actually more logical to hit the iceberg head on to reduce the damage by only the front
they thought they could get away with it. Just imagine steering 250m ship with 2000 people on board.
@@Ma7hew yeah
No logical person in a scenario like that would willingly ram an ocean liner into an iceberg
@@Isaac-muntz if it works to prevent the ship from sinking i would!
@@TheExxl In that situation wouldn't even be thinking of ramming the ship into but rather focusing on dodging it
make a video about the costa concordia when it struck a rock tearing a 53-meter or 174 foot gash flooding three of her seven watertight compartments and it would only stay afloat with 2 compartments flooded.
Sure, it is definitely in our bucket list.
What graphics! And real models. Wow.
Thank you for uploading this clip video. Make to understand.
Always inspired about the titanic ❤
Illustration was understandable and explained well
Wow, great video, really inspiring me...
Great engineerimg animation and intensive research and demonstration..kudos!
Amazing work! Great video on the sinking of the titanic!
@6:50, what a great demonstration. It sank EXACTLY like the titanic
5:54 did you put your name in the goblet of fire, dumbledore asked calmly
Wonderful representation and research ...kudos 👏
SUPERIOR VIDEO!! Excellent explanation of the Titanic! Thank you very much!
There are testimonies right after the disaster, from experienced captains that ran across the Atlantic and all said that ships do not slow down for ice. Adding to this, cpt. Smith altered the course of Titanic and went further South by some 40+ nautical miles. So it was not like he carelessly went straight into the icefield. Everything regarding Titanic's speed through the icefield, number of lifeboats onboard etc. was common practice in 1912.
Great video. Even with the International Ice Patrol, Icebergs are still dangerous to ships today.
I cant start to imagine the hard work and time and knowledge, that went into those shipdesigns. They built magnificent ships back then and i dont think that they made mistakes in planning. They just did not anticipate the magnitude of an impact from an iceberg
This video is underrated this deserves at least 100k likes and over
They would not close in a few seconds, it would take quite some time for them to close, the alarm bell would also ring for about 20-30 seconds before the door actually started moving down. We also are not 100% certain that the ship did indeed reverse its props as oppose to just setting them in neutral. Like you said, stopping in time for an iceberg that close is impossible so the only way would be to avoid it. Reversing the props would not have slowed down the ship in time and would just have caused a lot of discomfort for a lot of passengers and most crucially of all it would have disrupted the flow of water on the rudder and made it harder for the ship to steer which is the most important aspect here. Its not uncommon or bad practice to go full speed ahead in situations like these cause even at slow speed stopping in time would not be possible and even a slight survivable collision would be unacceptable as an excuse as it should never have to be the solution to survive an incident like this in the first place, the only valid option is to avoid. Edward Smith did NOT believe that the ship was unsinkable, the reason he went ahead was because the weather was clear and visibility good, at least it seemed that way but he was worried and although there were some iceberg messages not relayed fully they most certainly knew of them. I would also like to point out that even though it didn't have enough life boats for all passengers they wouldn't have had time to launch anymore life boats anyways and therefore that fact can be disregarded in Titanic's case.
great animation and presentation
Very educational ❤😊
Very informative. Well done.
Sabin the GOAT fr💯💯
They put the engines and boilers in after titanice was mainly built and launched, not as depicted hers. Our friend Mike, from ocean liner design does a great video about this.
Really well animated except for a few goofs, like the left and central propeller running the wrong way!
But other than that, it's really nice to see a detailed cross section and a VISUAL guide on how the water flowed over the bulkheads. As someone who has worked with CAD software a bit, I can imagine the effort that went into this. Thank you!
Edit: I just watched further and I am thoroughly impressed by the educational value of this video. From the physical demonstration with a piece of metal, to the explanation of the pumps used to keep her afloat, as well as physical models implemented REALLY shows the amount of work put into this.
The Titanic sank? UNBELIEVABLE
I cant believe it
No no no you got your info wrong dude. The ship was never going full speed to do that all the boilers would have to be going and they weren’t. No one on the crew believed the ship was unsinkable that was something the media ran with. Smith received multiple ice warnings and he adjusted his corse slightly unfortunately that adjustment put them in the path of the iceberg.
I appreciate the levels of efforts you put in to make this video. ❤❤
It's just amazing.
Thanks for English version for this video 👍❤️
One analogy that I comes to my mind with how the Titanic sank is comparing it to an ice cube tray. When you fill an ice cube tray, you notice that the water in the tray doesn't stop at the compartments that divide the cubes. The same thing happened to the Titanic. The bulkheads in the Titanic didn't go up to the entire height of the ship. When the watertight doors closed, the water continued to reach the top of the bulkheads and spill over them. The bulkheads and watertight doors may have slowed the sinking of the Titanic, but they weren't going to keep the ship from sinking.
I can say its best example of failure is the key of success..what were the issues found in Titanic is rectified in modern voyages
4:52 Don’t forget, there was a small breach in the coal bunker of Boiler room No.5, which fulled up slow but steady over the course of the sinking. (Coal bunkers were never designed to be watertight)
best video about titanic on the internet !!!!!
Congrats man
amazing effort doing this video,kudos to the men working engine room rip to all perish
Thank you for the video!
Man could you imagine being trapped in that room if it started flooding
Sabin- awesome video
good video and explained very well
As a millwright I had the responsibility of overseeing boiler maintenance and operation. Sea water from the last three of five water bulkheads that contained fourteen boilers overtook these boilers would have caused them each to explode. Nobody has ever mentioned this but the boiler crew on Titanic had to know. There is no doubt that when these exploded that further hull damage occurred in several more bulkheads.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and informative video. Those of us who study engineering, physics, etc., are especially inclined to review the mechanics behind the sink's shipping and its smaller twin model too. The people to blame are those who insisted on running the ship at high speeds despite the dangers, and those who agreed to a complete lack of life boats. However, according to reliable sources, what may have contributed was the lack of one message about an iceberg being relayed to the captain. The one in charge of relaying that message had made a bad mistake of deeming the issue to be non-urgent. However, I'm not a ship expert, just an engineering student, and I don't want to assign all of the blame to one person, because that would be unfair. The captain tried to steer the ship clear, and he misjudged. That said, there truly is no excuse for a shortage of life boats, so I hope that that gets written into law.
Thank you for this explanatory video
Captain Smith said "Modern ship building has come along way, so nothing could cause this ship to founder"
Wasn't the quote more along the lines that he couldn't imagine a situation where the ship could founder, not that he outright said it couldn't founder?
@@justinlynch3 Yes, I think so.
"I will say that I cannot imagine any condition which could cause a ship to founder. I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that." This is what Captain Smith said, describing Adriatic
@@gokulgopan4397 Thanks.
So yeah he did avoid saying the ship cannot sink or calling it unsinkable, at least in an outright sense. He may not have conceived of an event that could sink the ship, but just because he couldn't imagine it doesn't mean it can't happen.
@@justinlynch3 Apparently, the most common incidents were ship-to-ship collisions or groundings. Iceberg collisions were extremely rare, less than 10, I believe. And none of them were side scraping.
They built with these incidents in mind. The compartment design would protect from ship-to-ship collisions and the double bottom prevents grounding.
Nobody envisioned iceberg side scraping to open up 6 compartments. The most damage they could think of, obviously based on their experiences, were a2 compartment damage. Olympic class was outdone to withstand 3 compartment damage.
salute to your 3d efforts
Fantastic video
Another small error, when approaching the icebergs, the engines were ordered to STOP. The plan was to use the ship's momentum and go around the iceberg.
Great presentation. Thanks for effort!
Other commenters have noted the center (turbine powered) prop shuts off when engines are run astern. (Fun fact: James Cameron got this detail right in "Titanic." Because James Cameron.) A significant nasty side effect was that center-prop-driven fluid flow past the rudder was shut off, vastly decreasing the rudder's effectiveness when it was needed most. Aside from this, a contemporary seaman's manual stated something to the effect of "the surest way of insuring a collision is to turn away and slow." Many old-school PWC riders learned this the hard way.
Excellent Job brother ❤
Even with all the improvements done to ships after Titanic, there's still unfortunate tragedies that have happened since. One tragedy that's pretty similar to Titanic is the Costa Concordia back in January 2012.
Perfect very good thanks
Okay, two things. White Star never said she was unsinkable.
Secondly Thomas Andrews' calculations didn't "go wrong".
Absolutely fantastic video!
What great effort must have went into such details about all the design features of the titanic. Great work!
So many details... some are even correct.
Congratulations on this excellent video. It was very informative. Thank you.
Well done. It’s the totally inadequate number of lifeboats that still gets to me the most. Ugh. To venture so far out into the cold unforgiving sea, and think that …oh well… so many lives are ‘expendable’ …is absolutely unacceptable dipshittery. Finally, perhaps ships should been constructed using the same material as the life preservers?
Thank you so much for making the video on titanic's sinkin'.
amazing animations 🎖
So much learn and effort to make this video
Almost 100 years later just months before the centenary of this regrettable incident another passenger ship the Costa Concordia founders after a hull breach.Remarkable timing that should be significant to crews of every ship.Management of evacuation was compromised in both instances, one wonders how an emergency on one of the bigger is better ships with thousands of people would be managed given the unpredictable listing & the size of the superstructure being a huge wind catcher on a ship with no power particularly in heavy seas or strong winds.
Both of the ships were admittedly really cool, though. But, yeah. Direction and management of human (particularly passenger) behavior is probably one of the number one things to account for in these super-structure bits. The quote "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, and dangerous animals" comes to mind
You should include the lesics logo so that we can quickly find out the video, since the logo is the reputation, other subscriptions do not bring as much joy as lesics
Dawson. Rose Dawson.
Excellent video, congratulations! 👏👏👏
An excellent video explanation. 👍🏽
The middle propeller didn't reverse. Because it was connected to the turbine engine which spins in only one direction. #Aids in forward motion.
Thank you for the correction.
7:52 i just assume now that the proportions are just right and you included holes above the the "watertight rump" (in use "quotes" becuase some bullholes and doors were open at the time of the sinking) of the ship, to simulate water running down the decks as soon as they submerged.
This fantastic model itself proves how the Titanic couldnt stay afloat no matter what.
The following theoriey is disproved:
- If it hadnt broken it would have stayed afloat.
I find it also amazing how long it held itself up and basically really started to sink fast after all 5 compromised compartments were full. Only after that it really started to sink inconceivably fast. I also finally understand why the watertight compartments in the front and back were so much higher than the ones in the middle.
They compansate the tilt in the case of forward or backward flodding. There is no need for that in the middle.
It also shows that another wateright wall in the middle across the entire lenght of the ship wouldnt be a desirable design, when you consider the mindset of the time.
One wouldnt think 5 compartements would be compromised at the same time all in a row.
But you could compromise 3 and then the half full compartments would cause tilt. Tilt that might endanger the ship.
Thank you so much for clarifying things .. i hope ppl learn from the tragic story of the RMS Titanic 😢
Priceless content. I love your videos :)
The one propeller spinning the wrong way is bugging me
The outer propellers turn opposite of each other the middle propeller spins the same direction as the port propeller
Aunt Barbara adores inaccurately depicted propeller spinnage 😘
Heeyyy been a while since you posted on this channel man. : D
The hammer smashing the Model Titanic was very Scientific.
Very nice video!
4:18 The middle propeller can't turn backwards.... A steam turbine can rotate only one way.
How many times must the titanic disaster be revisited
I'm gonna guess 114,383 times, or until our heads explode, whichever comes first. 🤔
All of them! 😁
Exactly! The boat sank..move on!
For engineering purposes, infinite number
Don't like it don't watch it. The world doesn't revolve around you and your opinions.
this video is amazing
I like this video. Subbed
Great video, thank you! You've earned my sub and I'm look forward to more of your content!
Interesting modeling, but you should take into account that the ships often list when they are sinking, and indeed the Titanic had a slight variable list while she was sinking.
What about the speed of the ship.
It's not true that the captain chose and kept a high speed because he thought the ship was unsinkable.
Even if he thought that the ship was unsinkable, he had no intention to test it. He didn't want any collision because even if the ship do not sink, she'd be damaged (which will cost money to the company), and they''ll be late, and that would not be good for the image of the ship.
He was just following the common practice.
When the whether is clear, all the captains keep high speed, if not full speed.
That's because in the dangerous region where the icebergs cross the path of the ship, the captains fear another thing, and that's the fog.
Which is common in that region were the warm Gulf stream meet the cold Labrador current.
When there's a fog and you can't see, you can crash even with a low speed.
When weather is clear and there's no fog, you can see, so you can avoid the icebergs.
And you hurry to pass the region while the weather is still clear.
Unfortunately the weather that evening were quite deceiving, and the iceberg was spotted too late.
Despite that, the officer in charge Murdoch without knowing it, made a mistake, trying to slow down the ship, and in this way he compromised the ability of the ship to turn.
The Olympic class ship were actually very responsive ships for their size, thanks to the central propeller in front of the rudder. They were turning better at high speed.
Despite that, in less than a minute the Titanic (being the biggest and the heaviest ship in the world) was able to turn twice: first to the left (port) and then to the right (starboard).
But Murdoch couldn't know it because these ships were brand new, they were considerably bigger than the other ships the company had, so nobody had experience with such large ships, even captain Smith with his 40 years at sea.
Great job on this
This is the best Titanic breakdown video I've seen, assume videos !
This has a ton of errors. Watch some of Oceanliner Designs videos on Titanic.
If you don't care about accuracy.
Great example video i enjoyed it
The central propeller couldn‘t be used for a reversal
You cannot reverse a Parsons turbine, the central screw stopped and also occluded the rudder reducing it's effectiveness.
The double bottom/side arrangement didn't stop Costa Concordia from sinking!
Because of where it was on the ship
Correction and more elaboration:
the middle propellor was ran by a "Low Pressure Turbine"
while the two others were ran by "High Pressure triple expansion reciprocating engines"
