Notice they didnt make the capsule out of carbon fiber.
Cough cough oceangate
Notis, none know yet if it was the carbon fiber there failed….
@@BertMerlin57 that's true. I think the window was only rated to 1300 meters.
You will forget about titan in one week...
@@ccirish4519 stop projecting
Certified to 20% greater than the deepest ocean depth, simply incredible engineering.
you never know when you need to squeeze out that extra 10%, right?
45 thousand feet underwater, thats no joke. amazing engineering
1000's of parts also, not 5 things you get from home depot and your sons game controller.
Certified .. Key word right there.
The magic 120% - just to be sure.
@28:10 This guy did an 8000 meter solo test dive in the vessel. Solo dive. Putting no one but himself at risk. Great respect.
Hydro test, eat your heart out.
This really drives home for layman viewers just how awful the OceanGate submersible is
The standards and skill shown here is absolutely amazing
To only think that Oceangate they used curiosity not deep sea information and proper knowledge ...... I feel like they were diving with a Geyser tank😂😂😭
@Francoberry another thing that it drives home is that you are an idiot because this is at least 10 times more expensive than the oceangate one. Your point being?
But they continue to compare the entire industry to that POS . It wasn't even certified or tested in any way
This is the R&D that any deep dive submersible should undergo. I'm in awe.
Or.... you could wing it.
@@jwatson181no😂
I have a great idea... Carbon Fiber 😎
@@mycoinsyourpurse2244 I love your idea! We should build a sub.
@@jwatson181🤓 "i think the term you are looking for is hydrofoil" 🤓
It's so wild to see how much precaution went into designing and building this incredible vehicle, as well as to see how complex it is inside the chamber. My respect for this team is further increased when you compare it to the inside of the OceanGate Titan sub controlled by a video game controller and quotes from the OceanGate CEO basically saying stuff like safety precautions are for losers and wimps.
Yeah, it's almost surreal to watch this after seeing how OceanGate designed and built their sub.
You can not really compare Triton subs who builds commercially successful subs for 16 years to a hobbyist who just wanted to go deep fast no matter the danger. The Titan didn't surpass a single evaluation test other than their "experimental" in-house testing. If the customer doesn't care you don't need to test the sub since it is international waters.
Triton 36000/2 on the other hand is one of the most impressive exploration devices since the creation of the Apollo moon lander and it was done by a private company.
Price wise you can't compare them either. Triton 36000/2 is in the region of 100-180 million dollars.
Titan costs at most not even 10% of that.
Exactly 💯 oceangate sub,,is a real joke
@@illegalduckhunting 100% agree. Triton submarines know actually what they are doing. The Triton 36000/2 cost 37 Mio. though ;)
@@artxiom I estimated the cost based on needing a dedicated vessel to support the sub but I stand corrected. Not that bad actually.
I was privileged to go on board the DSSV Pressure Drop in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, to look around the ship and see the Sub, after Victor Vescovo's successful historic dive to the bottom Tonga's Horizon Deep: June 2019.Awesome team on the Pressure Drop, of scientists, engineers and specialists, who were all friendly professionals that took time to allow us local people tour time and explain in simple layman language how things work. It was such an exciting trip for me, also having the opportunity to see in person the man - Victor Vescovo and his sub that went down to the bottom of our corner of the Pacific ocean.
It's beautiful to see real engineers, serious about what they do.
Now THIS! is how you design and build a true deep sea submersible. Despite the Titan accident, I would actually feel safe diving in this sub. It's clear how much love, thought, and compassion went into designing this wonderful machine.
Not to mention the money.
@@jelenember money is feasible when come to life
@@jelenemberthe passenger of Titan mostly rich people and could easily buy supercar or yacht worth millions of dollar
nailed it! when it comes to engineering, I'm ignorant; but even I understand the importance of over-engineering a project like this.
The Titan looks like a can compared to this marvel
This is exactly the kind of engineering videos I want to see. Details on the machining, modeling, systems, etc. So cool
Absolutely, I was fascinated after discovering the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute submersible Alvin.
However, this is an order of magnitude way beyond Alvin.
its nice but so much drama...
Couldn't agree more, very well done
@@bobrobert6277 ikr, the artificial hype was really annoying, and the voiceovers/music were so obnoxious
@@bobrobert6277 Engineering is full of this kind of drama : whoops, we found an issue with so and so, gotta delay the schedule.. whoops we broke something unexpectedly, gotta redesign... whoops, integration is a pain in the ass... If anything, that's what makes this an awesome story, otherwise it's just a bunch calculations with tolerances and specifications. The context adds to what are just numbers on a sheet.
50 years ago I was subcontracted to Vickers Oceanics who were at that time building their Pisces mini submarines for oil exploration. When I wee the hull construction on this I am reminded of the care and intensity of manufacturing of the crew sphere of the Pisces. It was made from 50mm boiler plate welded together in pentagons, the welding was continually X-rayed and crack tested. The pressure hull was lowered into deeper and deeper depths to test its integrity and also to add cycles to it. Bearing in mind these were only designed to go to 1800 metres. The hulls were RMS tested to depths of over 25% beyond that. Also there was triple redundancy on all systems just like commercial aircraft. This all being 50 years ago.
When I look at the recent developments of the Titan disaster there appears to be nothing other than computer modelling, getting dirty hands and actually destructive testing is 110% imperative but I believe that the Titan farrago was done on the cheap, a Poundland submarine.
That DIY sub shouldn't have even been allowed to go past 10 meters let's along to see the titanic
Kudos sir on the proper usage of the term "farrago".
Carbon fiber glued to end caps. It was going to end this way.
I love the similarities and differences between this Triton DSV and James Cameron’s Challenger Deep project; the same basic goal is achieved with different designs, but the same rigorous design and testing processes. It’s cool how Cameron went with a long vertical shaft that held the electronics and instruments with the pressure sphere at the bottom end, but this design team went with a very compact short fat horizontal design that still took advantage of a vertical water column descent. That white and the placement of all the components looks so clean and really uses all the space very efficiently.
It is incredible indeed but generally a white design is frowned upon for submersible vehicles being it’s extremely difficult to spot on the surface in rough weather or underwater. But then again caladan oceanic and victor took all the necessary steps to ensure it would not need to be rescued like and actual gps monitoring and tracking system…..
Cameron is an investor. Not the designer.
@@awKtn32-_- Is there any reason why its white and not high-vis? (reflective and/or high contrast high visibility colour/s). If not, thats foolish, no matter how much redundancy you have
White is dumb colour like amw3 guys above ^ said. Should be high vis / reflective
@@fredfinks I’m not sure why they chose white but the DSSV limiting factor and her mothership DSSV Pressure drop are both white.
Watching this today, vs the Oceangate Titan "making of" the past few days just highlights the night and day difference in approaching deep sea diving. And as of today, realising the true importance and value that proper R&D and testing and certification beyond known specs of the use case scenarios brings.
The cost of the sphere and testing for this submarine would have been in the millions. Incredible film
Stockton had some nerve to happily say on film that certification and testing were unnecessary in a commercial vessel offering paying customers a trip to the titanic.
@@simony2801 if anything, it’s more important If you’re bringing passengers
What's most important is to make sure the submarine is fully capable to safely go further than it will in reality. In this video you will notice that they put safety first, and mention that they are willing to postpone the diving to make sure it's ready. Stockton, on the other hand, was greedy for money, and thought that using revolutionary materials would buy customers over. It should be pretty obvious that carbon fibre, equivalent to a hard sugar-coated fruit roll, will shatter like glass once it suffers from too much stress.
Caladan Oceanic is experienced in the field of deep-sea submarines, OceanGate isnt.
@@tbrowniscoolthe titanium sphere weighs 3,213 kg and cost in only raw material $12,049 USD, let alone the insane machining cost. There was some money spent on the LF, for sure.
Anyone here after the OceanGate Titan accident and having searched for the deepest diving machines ever built?
me me me!!!!
Me
Yep.
Yes, me too. Trying to get an insight into all this ultra-deep water stuff. I'm thinking about the Titan and it's crew, and hoping so much for their safe return.
The more I learn about the environment they are operating in, the harder I find it to understand why anyone would want to go there.
Just did...! 😂
The precision of the manufacturing especially the CNC is incredible. Also it’s “rated and certified”!!!
It's only as good as the certification though. And there aren't that many certification bodies out there that work on commercial deep sea submersibles. Historically, it was governments that set up certifications. Note the hull pressure testing was done by the "only facility in the world" which also happened to be in Russia. The system as a whole was not pressure tested, just the hull. Who guards the guards...?
@@MatSmithLondon The Ocean Guards the Guards.
@@MatSmithLondon Only the pressure vessel is pressurized. Everything outside of it is exposed to the ocean. The place they went wasn’t the only place on the planet capable of the 45,000 ft of pressure. They were the only ones capable of that pressure at that size. So other parts can be tested too.
@@MatSmithLondon The whole system has definitely been pressure tested now
Respect to all these engineers. The ocean gate guys were glueing the rings on the carbon fiber with glue in a random warehouse. Massive massive difference
Lol that video of them smearing epoxy around.
@@SnickasBah I also watched it... and I still can't believe they actually did that. Was the sub holding out as long as the water found a way to "eat through" the epoxy.... was that epoxy actually sealing anything....😒
Good to see what serious responsible sub engineers look like.
1. White
2. 50+
Engineers with an infinite amount of money funding them. James Cameron and some other democrat libtard adventurous billionaire. Stockton was a genius for being able to go a third of the way down with not even 1/100 of the money spent by the other deep sea projects.
White 50+ year old men.... What do they know. 🥴
@@Fantomas24ARM33 and 36 at the time. The project aged them.
Titan was sank just like Titanic was deliberately sank in 1912. the truth will surface no matter how many uncontrolled independent researchers the gov blow up
Gotta love it when academics, scientists, , and engineers can come together from different countries who are hostile toward each other but the smart people can work together to accomplish great things.
It's not the smart folks who are hostile toward the other, it's just their rediculous governments who can't stand to be in the same room together.
It's like even threw all that. Cosmonauts have been taking astronauts to the i.s.s. since NASA stopped the shuttle missions. Government b.s. didn't matter exploration was what brought them together.
Right? Some of them always looking for any excuse to start wars and blame it on something else.
We use to have a diplomatic president...
The correct way to design and test to extremes for deep dive subs. Well done Triton.
Knowing how dangerous going to the bottom of the ocean is, I literally can not comprehend why anyone planning this same thing would not go to the experts and professionals to be as safe as possible.
Human ego knows no bounds
Money.
Fame singled out on him.
'I fucked their expertise over and did it anyway, bow to me'
Dumb, utterly narcissistic mindset.
@@dcfromthevThe human wallet sure does.
The experts aren't ethnic enough bro.
They are experts since Nasa was involved in the design.. The problem is that it was on its experimental phase. Imagine if his method worked. Going underwater would be commercialized like an airline.
Sad that he was wrong and greedy though
If I was a billionaire and wanted to see the titanic, I would pay these guys to build me one of these
Hell yeah
This is incredible, love seeing the design work, engineering, and testing that goes into making a proper submersible.
It didn’t even have a a Logitech controller or poop curtain. Not impressed.
Operative word here is “proper”
This sub goes down to like 7000 ft constantly without issue -- cool videos of them finding ship wrecks, what a machine .... great machining and engineering as well!
It’s designed and certified for 45,000 ft tho
So no playstation controller?,actual pressure certification? No off the shelf parts? Thats how its done ladies and gentlemen! Bravo
thanks for showing what a tiptop submersible looks like - in the wake of the unfortunate titanic misconception. "commercially certified" seems like a starting point.
I have a crazy amount of respect for the engineering and manufacturing team behind this.
Really goes to show that engineering and manufacturing are ultimately the left hand and right hand of the same problem. Incredible what can be done when both work together.
And hats off to the Russian engineers testing this sphere.
Looking at the R&D, care, and precision that went in to DSV Limiting Factor, this is a sub I wouldn't be afraid of taking into the deep ocean. This is how you properly build a deep-sea submersible.
Notice how they have a team of professionals, 50 year old white men with military submariners included. So much professionalism and so much experience. Good on these guys.
Приятно (и неожиданно) видеть что Россия поучаствовала в этом уникальном проекте. Сотрудничество продуктивнее, чем соперничество!
Glad (and unexpectedly) to see that Russia took part in this unique project. Cooperation is more productive than competition!
I was very glad (and surprised) as well. It is a great day for the world when different countries can come together and work together in the name of science and advancement!
Я тоже был очень рад (и удивлен). Это великий день для мира, когда разные страны могут объединиться и работать вместе во имя науки и прогресса!
Это круто, я тоже был приятно удивлён, мне кажется что в Сша в военной обороне тоже есть такая капсула просто они не согласились работать, всё под грифом секретности и тд. Наслндие эпохи СССР, есть чем погордиться.
I was also please to see Russian participation in this project. I have a feeling that US also has same type experimental pressure chamber dedicated strictly for military use. In any situation its nice to see inheritance from USSR engineers still being used today, we have something to be proud of in term of achievements during that time.
We are one species ...we have one planet all the waters and air

wholesome comment of the year
as a mechanical engineer, this makes me cry.
why?
why?
@@TheS71cky Projects like these are dream projects for any engineer. There is so little romance in the daily routine of mechanical and hydrodynamic calculations.
Dreams come true on impossible projects. Gives me shivers! This project is on a level equivalent to the Apollo 11 mission!
Your testosterone deficiency may be the reason you're crying and willing to admit such behavior.
This is proper engineering and planning at its best! That’s why this vehicle and crew was able to achieve the record safely. Nothing but respect for their focus and determination for making this happen!
I really love seeing what humanity can achieve when we work together instead of fighting each other! Good to see a leader who was willing to spend the money required to build and test everything properly as well!
That really is the real key. You have to be willing to write the checks to do these things correctly. If you can't, you just shouldn't. This sub would go to one of - if not the - most hostile place on Earth. You can never lose your respect, or even fear, of what the ocean can do to you.
@@victorvescovo5773.. Great respects to you and your team from india
6:31 spoken like a true professional and humble engineer. This is design philosophy and experience that Titan NEVER had. I feel awful for the young students who thought they designed a capable submersible. They were only trying to innovate, while Stockton was filling their heads with bullshit about not needing professional help, that these young kids could figure it all out without anything remotely close to experience and expertise. They were fooled, and now have to live with what happened. They don't deserve this pain, Stockton did...
There's one word for why he used students... Money! It's hard to go after someone when they're not here to defend themselves. However, at Ieast in my opinion, he appeared to care more about being some famous innovator and "breaking the rules" as he stated in an interview. He wanted to be the Elon Musk or Steve Jobs of the ocean... Rules and safety be damned! There is that motto amongst big tech companies of "move fast and break things." That's great for a new smart phone, or working on AI. Sadly, in this case the "things" that were broken happened to be human beings!
@@LaveluvcrewWell, we’ll see how it works out for AI.
@@oberonpanopticon meaning?
This is how it should be done. Incredible design, engineering, materials, machining, testing, assembly...
I've seen something from Victor years ago and was fascinated. Then started working this and realised how much I miss being at sea. I spent 20 years out there till i had a accident which cost me a leg. Victor is a true pioneer. Absolutely awesome and educational for what our world is down in the abyss.
This documentary perfectly shows how hard, and how time consuming, the process of making a DSV really is. That is not a job for some schmuk in the garage like OceanGate.
But I like my submersible Jerry rigged! Living is for losers, the winner goes out in an implosion!
do you see how over complicated Limiting Factor is with all the controls and switches? Stockton Rush was a genius and ahead of his time. He was an innovator. He had great passion but a limited bankroll. These idiots, talking about him now that he's gone and can't defend himself, like James Cameron and this douche pilot of the Limiting Factor have an endless supply of money to pay for engineers and materials and certifications and to ship this giant ball to Russia. Cowards. "I'm not going in there unless im in a 5 inch thick titanium ball, wahhhh"....that's cowardly.
Sad thing is that he wasn't some schmuck in a crap garage. He was a highly intelligent person with an impressive facility. Not nearly of the calibre to make a submersible for 4000m, but still - more of an engineering genius than very many people on the planet. Even getting a machine down to that level is an enormous, complex, ambitious, and expensive task. The only difference - Rush was too high on his own success. Also he was too focused on the idea that regulations were stifling, and that his new ideas would be better than old wisdom. Not someone to be trusted. Many snake oil salesmen are also superb engineers; discuss....
Titan could easily go 12,500 feet depth. mariana trench was done in a 5 inch steel hull, 5 times weaker than carbon fiber, stop parroting the t.v set, its all lies.
@@MatSmithLondon getting down there would be easy…you could do it in a 44 gallon drum…it’s coming back up…thats the art
This is the best documentary I’ve seen in a while, and I’ve watched at least one a month for the last decade or so. Massive respect to everyone involved.
Probably twice this month though, right?
Thanks for that. We tried to do our best with the documentary. It was self-produced.
@@victorvescovo5773awesome work Victor
Fantastic video. As a pressure tester my self I was blown away by the size of the hyperbaric test chamber in russia and the pressure they achieved.
The part where they fill the sphere with water before the test had me scratching my head. Do you suppose they just filled it to ballast it maybe? It would seem as though having it COMPLETLY filled would negate the test.
@@sdhlkfhalkjgd I would suppose this was done to prevent complete deformation and make it jam in the chamber, keep the shape so to speak. Water is to an extent compressible but just a tiny fraction. So it could still be tested but wouldn't be completely crushed. If it failed - the pressure in the whole chamber and the sub equalises and it wouldn't deform further. If it was full of air - just imagine the shockwave if it failed.
@@sdhlkfhalkjgd thanks man, great explanation
they fill with water to keep it from a catastrophic explosion if it fails. they do the same with aircraft. Since air is compressible , it will go off like a bomb if there is a failure in the hull....that is why it is filled with water.....it will just crack and spew out instead of exploding......there are some great videos on the internet of large cylinders imploding while under vacuum ....see if you can find one and watch......hope this helps, Paul
@@simsnqta Yes....it would destroy the facility...The air in an empty chamber would ignite. Its a bomb
This is a true example of professional ocean exploration…This team of people are so incredibly talented… Extremely well done
That is fascinating how they could pressure test it only in Russia. Kudos to them. This is actually a good example of how we should work all together, not against each other.
Well, this facility was purposefully build to test military deep ocean submersibles for a sabotage (destroying communications, infrastructure) purposes. So there is a bit of irony.
Interesting that James Cameron had his tested in the US
@@SnickasBahdeepsea challenger has a much smaller inner diameter 1060mm vs 1500mm - and the test pressure was lower @Pennsylvania State University 1140bar vs 1400bar
Makes one wonder just how deep a Russian sub can go.
A perfect sphere is the only thing that can evenly distribute the pressure.
Oceangate : let's make a cylinder!
At least they should have reinforced that cylinder at the middle with a ring. The vessel would've been several times stronger that way, but the CEO was too confident to think about that.
@@BlisterHikerthere’s no way to know where the cf hulk failed. Most critics say it failed either at the glued joints, or at the acrylic glass certified for only 3000ft.
Reminder to anyone here after the Titan disaster, Victor lost two friends PH Nargeolet and Hamish Harding. Harding having gone with Victor to the Challenger Deep on this very sub. Please be respectful.
It is absolutely striking to see the vast differences between this submersible along with it's crew and creater, and those of the Titan. One looks in awe of the engineering that went into this craft, yet the Titan seemed more proud of having a toilet and a gaming controller! There is a motto within giant tech companies of "move fast and break things." That sounds great when it comes to a website or the new phenomena of AI, but not so much when it comes to not breaking "things" but rather breaking human beings!
This costed roughly 10-20 times more than the oceangate submersible, ofc it puts it to the shame, what is your point?
@@sbonel3224 My point is one person seemed to care more about making a name for himself over safety and testing. While the other took safety and testing ahead of everything, and also didn't take 4 souls with him!
You just watched the Alexander The Ok vid, and came over here to parrot what he said as if you know what you're talking about.
SpaceX has shown the world that that process works very well. There's a right way to do things, and a wrong way to do things. The right way is not to break things with people in it (not to mention the breaking is intentional).
Btw, OceanGate didn't even use that philosophy. It was simply the "go fast" part of that combined with ignoring all the warnings from multiple experts.
The engineering of this is just as impressive as the vehicles we take into space. I work in robotics with almost 70 engineers. They are wired so differently, ive learned a lot just being around them. Mad respect to the people pushing boundaries and pioneering mankind into new frontiers.
Yes. Engineering is hard. Truly great engineering is really hard. Truly great engineering when pushing beyond where anyone has ever gone? Genious, and that's what these guys are. I entrusted my life to them, quite literally, and they never let me down. John R., Tom B., Patrick L., all the folks at Triton - they are just wizards at this. True respect for them.
I call it luck.
@@eirikrdberg1161 good luck getting through life with luck. I buy my cars based on safety in engineering and reputation of brand based on the technological innovations that are reliably going to get me where I need to go. Build a car based on luck and see how far it goes. Success is built on a foundation of failure
One of the best-made documentaries. The final sign-off with a clock reference with the ship moving clockwise, is evidence of attention to detail. Simply brilliant both the project and the film that is made around it!
What an amazing machine. Truly incredible.
I wish it went into more detail with the technical aspects. How does it control buoyancy. How do the various seals withstand so much pressure. Is everything electrical contained inside the sphere. So many questions.
As far as i understand it, all the electronics are contained in the pressure hull and then the connections are made via SubConn cables and connectors. At least thats what would be possible in their amount of time
The buoyancy is controlled with engines. The seals are glued on. Yes, everything electrical is self contained in the sphere.
@@drooshmaroosh8261 gorilla glue no doubt. Maybe a Top secret mixture of Elmer's and spider webs.
Love how candid the guys from Triton are in this.
Now see THIS IS how you build a submarine, THIS IS how you innovate.
Beautiful job 🤩 ! Perfect
This is one of most incredible undertakings to make a submersible that conquered earths deepest waters, insane.
@@Candycool99_ if the ceo have the opportunity he wouldn't take it, he thinks 50 yo white engineer is uninspiring, i know that's silly.
The Italians and Swiss made a sub (Trieste) that achieved the same thing in 1960...
This man is brave. And what it took to build the submersible wow 😳! Explanation on building this submersible was in more detail than I had expected thank you
This topic seems to have imploded all over the internet!!!!
Someone who worked on one of these ultra deep scientific subs told me a story once, explaining that the small window becomes almost like a liquid at that pressures, he said you could actually see it move like it’s alive. Can’t remember if it was glass or acrylic windows that he said this happened to, but when I heard this I already decided I’d never go inside one of these things
The windows on this submersible pushed in about 1/4 of an inch at full ocean depth. That was the real trick. How to allow for the flex, *repeatedly*, and not compromise hull integrity. We actually went back and forth on having three viewports versus just one, but Triton argued they could do three and that it would dramatically enhance its scientific value and situational awareness safety. They were 100% right.
@@victorvescovo5773you the real Victor? If so, your drive is something to really marvel. I’m 28 but hope I can really live for my passions like you someday. And Triton did an outstanding job on this sub. As a mechanical engineer, the design, manufacturing, and pressure testing had my eyes glued. It sounds like while pressured to hit deadlines especially with your money on the line, you didn’t make rash decisions that had you in the sub before it was ready. When you’re on the cutting edge of technology, you’re in new territory that the rulebook might not account for. That doesn’t mean you ignore it. It’s great to see that despite having deadlines, the team evidently crafted an amazingly sturdy craft, and more importantly, validated it as such through testing.

When you hear about ocean gate and then watch this about amazing ppl and engineering and proble solving to the highest of quality its saddens me rip those 5 men ❤❤
I hate that I discovered DSV Limiting Factor and all the teams involved with it after such a tragedy from the Titan crew.
But, such a disaster really makes you appreciate when something is done truly right. Maybe Oceangate is inspiring people to look into submersibles in a way they unfortunately never intended.
Good luck to Victor and the whole crew on any future expeditions, and congratulations on the achievements so far. This thing is one of the coolest watercraft ever produced.
I mean... this craft actually looks thought out... It's kinda cool because they chose a suitcase design, but still, look at the inside of this vessel and the inside of the one that imploded. There is a noticeable difference..
After seeing this i cant believe they just glued the tititanium end caps onto the carbon vessel. The fact there was only like an inch of overlap between the 2 surfaces is crazy too
Beautiful design + marvelous engineering + brave people = Wonder.
Tom Blades (one of the main designer of the LF) said, " You can't just design one system at a time in isolation, you have to look at the whole picture". Something Oceangate design team have overlooked.
I bought these lights from Camping World...
You don't argue with someone called 'Tom Blades'.😂
Whoever runs this company gets major kudos for their excellent naming schema. The ship they use to move this submarine should be called the "Little Rascal".
Gotta give it to Ocean Gate for opening a whole new world of interest for me. This deep sea submersible stuff is really cool
At least Stockton was right in how he wanted to inspire people, just not in the way he expected😂
I don't know about y'all, but I find this team pretty.......Inspirational.
Who watched it because of the " titan disaster " ? This is how it should be done 👍🏼
🙄
Amazing and very underrated documentary. Not so often I don't feel the urge to skip the parts in a video. Very inspiring indeed. Be well.
Notice how the oceangate sub was called the Titan, like an all conquering thing of great strength, while this sub is named Limiting Factor, like its grounded in reality.
Its actually a science fiction reference, to the Culture Series. Still a much better name though, lol
Titan mimicking the titanic name, and it's ultimate end.
OceanGate's CEO was delusional. Sadly, four people paid for that with their lives 😪
Haha yea 😂
Stockton Rush was a mad man! My lord!
Having just watched your fantastic video where you found the destroyer Samuel B Roberts, it's been a real pleasure to see how this craft was built. Both videos have been so very interesting, I would have happily sat through a further hour of watching the build. Well done to all involved.
You said it, I wish it would've been longer. Amazing engineering. Would love to see more videos of the team diving
Well done Triton, great submersible and great documentary
This, was not controlled and operated by a single game controller and small tablet screen.
This is real engineering!
What an amazing feat of engineering and human willpower and lots of money. Exemplifying the drive to explore, do science, and preserve history. One of the best videos on TH-cam 120%. This rating was certified 20% past the highest rating on TH-cam.
congratulations Nick. nice film, every shot earns its place and nicely structured. the forging sequ is amazing.
Fancy seeing you here 😂
Thank you for posting this video about how a real submersible is designed, built and tested. As a Research Engineer I must say this is the attention to detail attitude that should be communicated to the general public not composite DIY subs. Stay safe everyone and keep exploring
The amount of R&D that goes into a vessel like this is unbelievable! Truly brilliant minds at work.
Such an amazing story! Thank you! Thank you to all those connected to this design & building project.
A inspirational bunch of men, remarkable design!
An inspirational bunch of 40 and 50 year old white men!
27:46 no top engineering can go without zip tie
🤣
Short clip, out of context. Maybe it was something temporary, but even if not, some parts don't have to be fixed with heavy duty brackets. Btw, filmmakers love to add some "drama" where there is none or very little.
Excellent! That is how you make and test a submersible. Fantastic engineering, manufacturing, and testing.
This seems like the right way to make a sub
Incredible documentary, bravo triton and other worldwide teams
I've been having this damn video recommended to me for like 8+ months now..... it's time to hit play
What an absolutely fascinating documentary video of building this unique craft for the unique challenge they accomplished!
I found it fascinating that this craft was made for this guy to do the solo dives to the 5 deepest places in each of the 5 oceans. Amazing accomplishment!
What a great documentary video!
Congratulations! It's amazing to see what humans can accomplish when we work together! Excellent production! As a CAD designer, former commercial diver, and now semiconductor industry engineer, it brings joy to see this. Thank you.
Kudos for the variety of careers! Like you I've switched track a few times, I believe it's good for a person to do that, but it's not without pitfalls, like when you've got traction in one career, to move to another and start again, its a big step.
I’m so impressed. This is why I love engineering and science. It’s so cool!
testing and certification just inspires confidence - the fact they simulated ocean depth is fantastic!
It's funny how the design of this grows on you. When I first saw it, I didn't like it. It reminded me of a briefcase. But the more I look at it over the years, I really like it. Truly a testament to amazing engineering.
Absolutely incredible feat of human ingenuity!
The more I discover about the flaws in the OceanGate Titan design, the more angry I become. I hope that the investigation into that business is thorough and that it has a positive effect on the industry. And let's hope that the families of those that perished receive justice.
From concept to Complete Project is a nerve wracking yet beautiful moment when it was successful tested completed.
Beautifully done.
So this is the correct way of building a submersible without cutting corners. Well done.
who's here to look at a real sub being made after seeing what the idiots at Oceangate made?
Yep. Carbon fiber?!? Jeezus...
Who doesn't like a sub that makes a crunching sound that gets louder the deeper it goes and getting bolted in with only 17 of 18 bolts and no way to escape? ME.
*This is absolutely amazing documentary very well done*
Great spirit, great fortitude and attitude from The Sub Team, such a great work, should be one of greatest milestones in human history.
Isso sim é uma obra prima, perceba o cuidado com a construção e o carinho de todo um projeto muito bem feito e muito bem pensado!!!!
Victory for Victor Vescovo and contributors . Fantastically intéresting documentary. How come this project never surfaced on mass media ?
Tremendous documentary, brilliantly produced. The collective will power of a group of visionary minds is inspiring.
I find Victor an amazing human being. His interest in exploring the planet and all of its extremes is simply amazing. And to be brave enough to dive that deep where in one milisecond you can literaly implode from the pressure if something goes wrong. Thank you Victor, you really did make it to where no one ever did and I am glad because you gave everything for that accomplishment 😊
Compared to this, the Triton build was like sending people over Niagara in a barrel!
*Titan
For the vic .... I mean clients, the results would be very similar in looks and outcome.
I thought the same thing.
It is always astounding to see what can not be done, to change to what can’t be done by incredible individuals working as a team. The engineering and build process is amazing. It put a smile on my face. I have a brother in law that worked closely with engineers and teams that did what wouldn’t be possible unless they went well beyond what was expected. Great video!!!! Share it
The REAL secret to doing something like this is three-fold:
1) hiring the best engineers and researchers on the planet to complete the mission,
2)2 Having the vision and the drive to do the job RIGHT, and safely, and
3) having a metric-shit-ton of money--like Defense Department-level amounts of "F-You" wealth--to throw at the project.
Victor is one of the few people on the planet who has the ability to meet all three criteria. Kudos to him for using his wealth, influence, and vision to further science, take calculated risks, and achieve a near-impossible goal, all the while maintaining critical safety margins, and not taking fool-hardy risks. Bravo, sir. Bravo, indeed...
Amazing craftsmanship. Great to see so much international cooperation among true professionals, enthusiasts
An amazing & well structured video detailing nearly the full scope of a professional engineering endeavour - From ideation, engineering design, project management, materials, logistics, certification and finally dry/wet testing. Bravo! Awesome documentary Nick V. & Kudos to Triton Subs / Victor

The secret to success is first having lots of money. 😂
as someone studying engineering, I find this super detailed, love it THX!
