Saltstraumen - One of the world's strongest tidal currents
Просмотров 184 тыс.6 лет назад
Saltstraumen is one of the world's strongest tidal currents. A perfect place to go diving, fishing and admiring the power of nature. 1 hour drive outside Bodø, Norway
How long is your boat
44 Fet
I love the idea of transporting motorcycle on the. But how do you do it? Is there a special compartment or do you keep it on the deck? Thank you
I lay 2 tarpas on the deck, hoists the motorcycle by the rope to the mane sail and lays it on the deck, then wraps it well. Can be a bit in the way of rope works, but have never had any major problems with it. Haven't tried ocean sailing , but have sailed a lot along the coast of Norway, and here the weather turns quickly. Have sailed in 2.5-3 meter high waves, with the bike on deck no problems.
How fucked are you if you fall into that part of the river?
It is not a river , it is the sea. We go diving there , but at the right time. If you fall in at the fail time , you have a "problem" maps.app.goo.gl/8Jm4NWGUERMq5r5w8
@@vegarhl I appreciate the info! Thank you
Very good imagery!
I can almost smell the sea air.
i wish someone would drop a few cameras down in sealed bubbles... make em neutrally bouyant. throw in a co2 bulb and pop it after a time delay, so they come to the surface afterwards. hit me up! seems like an easy enough thing to make. just um... need a few dollars for materials :)
I’m serious oxygen in that water very rich she life in that area
Real thalassotherapy !
Thanks but I am certain I would not be diving in that.
Then you lose a good dive ;) If you dive when the current turns and with local knowledge, then there is a problem for most people diving here. But would not recommend diving, when the current is like in the video
Awesome dive spot.
impressive but mild compared to others
A perfect place to go diving, are you serious?
The current turns every 12 hours, at its strongest the current is 20 to 24 knots, but at its weakest around 1 to 3 knots (45-60 minutes) and it is like diving in a "river" but in the sea. Have many dives there myself ,and there are many film clips from there online
These sheer powers should be used to gain energy!
The area is a protected national park and will NEVER be developed. Here in Norway, most electricity comes from hydropower (from mountains). Building out this place,is a bad deal and will never be accepted by local people
@@vegarhl okay, I did not know this. Thanx for the information.
That's incredible! I wouldn't want to fall in the water there! It's beautiful in a dangerous kind of way.
The God of angel armies made that.
What material of rock is in the area. It must be incredibly strong to be constantly hit by those collosal forces every day.
Ordinary gray stone, most of the walls and bottom are covered by kelp forest and lots of underwater wildlife
The best place to generate electricity with propellers in the water.
The water is crystal clear so the rocks underneath must be scrubbed clean.
Especially in winter, we can have good visibility. The whole area is full of wildlife and is covered by large fine kelp forests. A lot of nourishment in waters here that come with the current , vs other more open areas
How the fishing lol
The fishing is good , but it also brings local problems, with contamination from lost fishing equipment. Local divers have for several years done clean-up operations. Something that can be a challenge in a place like this. I have even filled a 10 liter bucket with many kilos, just on a 30/40 minuts dive my selfe
All That power lost…
Be nice in a rubber tube 😂
You can see tidal bores like that on the Bay of Fundy between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada. There are a few narrows where the tide "venturies" between rocky headlands. One that looks as severe as this one is in the harbour of a town called Westport on the Brier Neck, Nova Scotia.
THe most beautiful thing about this is the mutlilane concrete bridge carrying the high-speed motorway.
Well. each to his own.
@@bertilknudsen One day someone will invent a standard way to denote sarcasm.
Couldn't you add a little explanation of where and why? This blows my mind, but I am no further enlightenef than I was 3+ minutes ago.
Such an amazing location for generating hydro power. Doubt it will ever happen for environmental, ecological or tourism reasons, but it would be amazingly effective.
The place Is a national park , and will never be built a power station there. We don't need it , we have a lot of hydro electrical power here northern Norway. More than we can use or send to other places.
@@vegarhl Uhh, ya. Did you miss the part where I said it will never happen because of environmental, ecological or tourism reasons? That's basically what a national park is. Its a place where most industry gets banned because of those reasons. I live in central Canada. We have wind and solar farms, but no where near enough to meet demand and the widest body of flowing water to be found in 500 km is less than 15 meters wide and moves at a staggering pace of about 0.4 meters per second. Possibly as fast 3 mps during the spring thaw. Hydro power just isn't possible anywhere near where I live, so its something that I personally find fascinating.
It's a no from me lol who on earth would get in a little boat on that kind of torrent :O
Impressive. In Broome, Western Australia there is a similar tidal flow. I never get bored of watching huge amounts of water move this way 😮
This sounds great 👍 Can you make a video of it please? This would be so cool 👍
@@Asesinathegamer G’day dude, I could do that but it would involve some long travel to get there, you see I live on the east coast of Australia and Broome is in the north west of the country, around 4500 km away from me and across several deserts. Alternatively, here’s a link to a clip from a BBC documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough explaining the tidal flows in Broome 👍 ruclips.net/video/mJ9kdhVJT0U/видео.html
@hamishclayton347 thanks for the link. Sorry, I didn't know that you live on the other side of Australia.
@@Asesinathegamer all good mate 🤙🏻
Just wow.
Que miedo , impresionante
You couldn't pay me enough to be on one of those boats! 😅 Drone footage...excellent! 🌊 How tall is the bridge?
The bridge has a sail height of 41 metres, the boats are no problem. I live full-time in a sailboat further into the fjord, and go through the Saltstraumen when I go out to sea
@@vegarhl 😎 I should also mention you couldn't pay me enough to live in Norway! 🤣 Greetings from Florida USA! 🇺🇸
@@freeanimals594 Norway has its advantages, but undoubtedly its own in problems. We have a little too much "communist" thinking in many ways, and it has gotten worse in recent years. They said, i am very glad that I don't live in the US .The country is a slow sinking rat ship😆
@vegar blix Holt I understand that! I believe mostly all countries on Earth are going down the drain, except of course, if you're one of the elite and can afford a way out, until death that is! BTW, I never go in the ocean here for many reasons. We live 13 miles from the Gulf. I'll stick with our pool!
@@freeanimals594. Good…you stay there where crime is rampant. I’ve had my cc data stolen every single time I’ve visited Florida…it was stolen by such upstanding people as gas station attendants, hotel check-in clerks, wait staff, etc. It seems like EVERYONE there is in to identity theft. You can keep that redneck state! (Went to hi school in Pensacola, and have only BAD memories of your “southern hospitality”).
Von Karman approved.
Impressive!
Seems like a great place for water turbines. Free electricity! As a licenced drone operator let's give a hand to the person than shot this awesome video. ✌
I filmed it several years ago, the area is a protected national park and will NEVER be developed. Here in Norway, most electricity comes from hydropower (from mountains). Building out this place,is a bad deal and will never be accepted by local people
@@vegarhl If it's a protected area, by all means keep it pristine. Cheers from America!
besides the leave it alone factor, it doesnt work like that. to get any work from the water means you have to slow it down. as soon as you slow it down its not as impressive anymore. you are restricting the flow. the whole reason it exists is because the flow is restricted. restrict it more and all you do is reduce the flow. you can restrict flow to the point you get... a dam. a dam doesnt produce any power. its the dam draining through a restriction producing the power. the sweet spot is when the water flows at half the velocity it would otherwise flow at through that restriction. its doing the maximum work on your load... generator... grain mill... water pump... air compressor... you cant get any better than that. why does it always have to be "electricity"?
The energy contained in this water current is laughable compared to the energy from a hydroelectric damn. It is a terrible location for hydroelectric power. Hydro power is all about water pressure from water depth. You have water coming from somewhere high to somewhere low.
what is under the water curious
That fake water noise is terrible
What's the difference from an average low to high tide?
Normally about 2.5 to 3.5 meters +- but can be as much as close to 4 meters under special conditions
We actually mounted a sea kayak expedition to the Lofoten Islands including 2 days playing in this in about 1978 was it? We were student teachers of Outdoor Education at Bede College, Durham and had circumnavigated Ireland the previous year. Great experience in organising expeditions,a great trip, and I did end up getting an OE job eventually. Thanks for filming this and posting. Technology is wonderful nowadays. I wish we had had anything better than an Instamatic in a Plastic Bag
Amazing, thanks for posting...
Power generator would work there , it is like the Menai straights.
So beautiful !
A natureza é uma artista incrível, incomparável!
Wow I wish the video was longer.. It's amazing
Spooky
An ideal place to say goodbye to the world me thinks!
when the boat's motor stops in the middle of this river
Ive made stronger piss streams you german bitches
The failure to utilize tidal movements as an energy source is just mind boggling
Terrifyingly beautiful.
What did one Saltstraumen water molecule say to the other as the tide changed?…….”here we go again…sigh…”
It's such a pretty color! Awesome video😊
