5tonedFlaming0 That is so true...its the little things like this that your kids will always remember. You are a great dad and your kids are very lucky to have you as their dad. I hope alot of dead beat dads watch this and hopefully it gets in their head that they should take part in their kids lives. Dont look at them as little annoying kids, look at them as tiny adults that will grow up to be whatever it is that you teach them and show them. It is a VERY rewarding experience and I wouldnt change it for the world... Great Video
Thomas studying hydro physics at university; lecturer: "so can anybody tell me what we must consider before performing any experiments?" Thomas: "stand back"
Watching this only confirms my view - that, if you need to breach a sandbar to drain a lagoon of deep water trapped behind it, you don't need a massive excavator to dig a trench 15 - 20 feet wide. A channel no wider than your hand will allow water to flow, and that initial tiny flow will soon scour it wide enough to let a river through - exactly as Thomas and Rebecca saw for themselves! Seriously; they might not have been at school that day, Gavin, but you still gave them a superb lesson in physics and hydrology - and one they'll never forget. Well done!
It also depends on how course and dense the sand is. If you have course sand that is very loose, the water will just sink into it when the channel is not able to keep up with water. Your flow needs to be bigger than the amount of water draining into the sand.
can confirm long trenches and/or thirsty sand will soak up a surprisingly large flow without anything making it through. the lake will still drain to the depth of the trench though
These kids are so lucky and blessed to have a dad like you! What an awesome day you guys had! I'm 40 years old and I had fun just watching the video! Cheers
I love how the little boy is so excited. Reminds me of my son when he was that young All he needed to be happy was a water hose and a mudhole. Those were the good old days
I’ve watched this video like 10 times over the past 5 years lol. Hello future Self looking through the comments. I see you are on a damn dam burst video binge session.
Thanks, It's a regular routine after school. Home, changed, schoolbag sorted and then 'Cup of tea and two biscuits'. (Chocolate biscuits if the school report is good).
Yeah this tells people why dams need a spillway. the failure point will expand without warning then it fails and the hole will expand this can only be preventable with a spillway which will drain water and keep the dam from failing
BluntForceTrauma666 They should All Sit In the Dam and Have Crumpets and TEA. As we all watch them Get washed away. CameraMan Will take Over the Film from there. While the father is Void with his Kids In the Dam.
Love it!! When I lived in the UK I often took my kids up to Dartmoor (in Devon County) and we used to make dams in streams - and then enjoy the final dam collapse - oh those were the days.... long long ago. :)
I started doing this at Thomas' age. Never stopped really! I could never resist trying to stop the stream and then wait for it to fill before the best bit. Thanks for watching.

Hello Thomas Minion - I will pass your comment on to my son, who is now a teenager. There aren't many with our surname around so it's great to hear from some overseas Minions. If ever you're in the Outer Hebrides (where there are currently a grand total of four Minions) you are welcome to pop over and see the recovery effort.
MidStateFishing 40 actually a bodyboard aka boogie board. But probably is a skimboard aka foamie because both are frequently named as the other. Where I live, they're the other way around.
This is actually extremely educational, along with fun, You're essentially teaching your kids about Erosion in Dams, and they could very well end up Engineers because of this. But the Dam you and your kids made is a PERFECT example of Erosion, it could start with a very simple leak, and then out of nowhere, it becomes more and more violent as the Water Rushing washes out the Dam's foundation. Very simplistic example of Erosion, but teaches so much.
Just like Florida Maquis on TH-cam says, this is exactly what happened to separate South America from Antarctica where the one ocean was higher than the other. What a perfect demonstration! Thank you!
I’ve been watching dam breaks and if you look at this in your mind, as if it’s on a massive scale, it’s by far the best one yet. Great work. Great dad. Great fun.
