Reuploading cause the sponsor asked me to remove their sponsored portion! haha, which means you're getting a new sponsor, enjoy! (again).
Oh and shop the STEMerch store here: stemerch.com
Yeah, because video is kinda in poor taste regardless if the subject was of questionable engineering.
@@sgstudioofficialwomp womp
Inconceivable!
Was the sponsor like, new to Zach Star videos or something? Cowards!
Yeah I was thinking the brilliant sponsorship was more of a main channel thing and this seemed like a zachstar himself type of video.
Hope the reason they removed it wasn't me trolling about you being political on this channel.
To be fair to the actual design engineer on the titan sub, he actually did raise objections to the design of the sub as he believed that it wasn't safe to use....he was fired because of it.
Which further solidifies that this was not a "tragedy", this was deliberate stupidity and rich-people hubris. Brilliant can suck a lemon for their political-correctness or whatever they wanna call it.
Yeah, I was kind of hoping Zack would mock that by having the engineer get immediately fired after raising several concerns.
And to be fair it’s not a bad sub, if your just doing swallow dives. But to take twice it’s limit is just retarded
and the replacements were all diversity hires.
@@beskamir5977 I could only imagine the engineer talking about advanced physics and people look at them like it's over their head - and then shoos the person to get out without telling them and if questioned would say 'eh (whispers how the engineer had their own ideas) - they didn't focused on what we want to look after: the submarine. Then someone else says 'you mean submersible' and then the one who said submarine says 'it fins in the back to look like a fish. See this is what we're bring to the depths'. Then the person who looks at it gets in awe and knows what's next: to buy a video game controller.
There everyone - I wrote it out to enjoy.
"what is the pressure gonna be down there"
"force over area"
GOLDEN
Same as up here!
Well I mean it's not entirely wrong, it's just that the force of the water pusing onto the area is a LOT bigger and generally everything in the integral cancels out so you're better off just calculating hydrostatic pressure...
r/technicallycorrect
Well technically the closer you get to the Earth's core the more gravity will effect you and things around you. So the deeper you go underwater the more gravity stronger gravities force. Meaning water pressure even the air pressure in the sub and yourself will be affected (only slightly as the sub bears the brunt of the pressure from the water and gravity) but most people would think water pressure and forget gravitational force
@@lostboy8084wrong, gravity weakens the further down you go. There's deep mine shafts you can go down and when you weight yourself, it's actually lower than if you were on the surface.
“Cause you can’t dodge the ground!”
They almost discovered wavedashing before they died
Almost ™️
honestly L should've just aerialed than than did a speedflipped on the surface
@@TheEntity.Stories From Smash to Rocket League lmao
8-bit theater fighter blocked the ground when they were falling to their deaths. Saved his whole party.
Which is weird, because I thought that was what the manual said that you had to do, to fly.
Legend has it that the Joy-Con survived and is still drifting to this day
Joycon is a hundred times better quality than what they used.
idk if you intentionally made that perfect pun but i'm impressed nonetheless
@@EMETRLno way it wasn’t intentional I say
Haha. Driff pun. 🤣🤣
@@illustriouschinnah
The only way it could be better is if the engineer was played by several people, and the driver was the CEO. And anytime the engineer said something that the CEO didnt like we smash cut to a different person playing the engineer now agreeing with the CEO.
Do you remember the last time you saw 2 people in this channel?, Although the idea itself is good, here you would see him with an "engineer #1" written in a piece of paper in the shirt, then #2, #3, etc. Hope he does that if there is anything extra about that piece of evidence.
My only question is why did they not implement a fast travel option to teleport to the titanic
too bad they just didn't market VR (virtual reality) instead.
because you need to discover the area before you can fast travel to it, that's why they were traveling there, to unlock it for fast travel
Because you can't fast travel when there are enemies around.
I mean technically speaking, they did..... The less buoyant, the faster the dive rate, and displacing all that air in the submersible with seawater definitely decreased the buoyancy
Dude it would ruin the difficulty of the game. You gotta earn your way there to get the true gaming experience.
Bro got his degree from a McDonald's Ice Cream machine. Which is also how effective the sub is
I wonder if the company stole parts from McDonald's to build the sub, hence the broken ice cream machines 🤔
@@MrKabobCK We might be onto something here. We finally figured it out boys
At least the McDonald's ice cream machines are still ice cream machines unlike the TITAN which is now a pile of scrap metal at the bottom of the ocean 😶.
*was*
Funny enough those ice cream machines wouldn't be broken so often if they weren't coded to be that way by the manufacturer.
"I don't feel any pressure." - "Not since my wife left me! I'm so sad."
That one got me laughing. 😂
Likee😂😂😂
"Maybe Jack's still alive." That got me.
"What's the pressure"
"Force over area"
"Same as here!"
I'm dying
Too soon?...No.
If we compare the amount of time it took for the submersible to implode relative to how long is has been since it imploded, the order of magnitude is huge.
In conclusion, perfect timing @zachstar.
Final grade: A+
Besides, Stockton Rush was basically asking to become OceanPâté the moment he set foot in that death trap
I think you just said big words and hoped they would make sense and go together. But how else are we supposed to know this is a legit review of something sciencey.
tell that to the dead kids mom.
In my opinion, the amount of grief time increases with how much the victims suffered. And how
- numerous
- young
- marginalized
- culturally similar to yourself
they are. You may disagree on a few of the criteria, but it won't change the fact that the Titan disaster was fair game *minutes* after it happened. The one overconfident wannabe Tony Stark checks only the last box, and a handful of millionaires are none of these.
"Cause you cant dodge the ground!" its my favorite sentence in this.
I didn't know the Titan submersible was a playable SSBU character 🤣
Titan got 2 stocked by the North Atlantic
@@SubSilence Zero to death.
Nah. Mortal Dive. "Finish It". "Multiple Fatalities." "Sub-zero Depth wins."
Would be cool if Zach made an actual serious in-depth analysis about the flaws of the Titan Submersible’s engineering and had it be a tie-in with this skit, or vice versa.
Would make the two staples of his channels overlap.
That'd be epic. Real Engineering and Thunderfoot already did their part in breaking down what happened but it'd be neat to hear Zach's perspective too.
I mean... Thunderfoot did
Zach's an electrical engineer
In depth you say? 😆
idk I mean personally I think the fact that they used a wireless 2005 gameboy controller or whatever to pilot this thing pretty much demonstrates how much they care about safety just in and of itself
This video was so good that the sponsor needed their part removing so that it would be reuploaded and we'd get to enjoy it a second time. We are blessed.
Does the controller have vibration? Yes? Ok, have that trigger if the walls or window are about to implode do to too much stress.
The vibrations are also in the submersible to make you feel the world around you (like when you bump into something in a video game) for a first-hand experience! Create the thrills of the scene for a real adventure - and build a points system so that if you have enough hits to the world around you - you lose and can reset from the starting point on the ocean surface to start over the process again.
@@extropiantranshuman Right, so they can anticipate the impending implosion and really FEEL the excitement!
Unironically the controller was the only thing that made sense in this craft. Anyone who had a game console knows how much abuse those things can take before you really have to replace it.
@@kekistaniattackhelicopter2242 ah yes - because the video game controller didn't get ripped to shreds like the capsule did - it's the part that made the most sense of it all. Well that's true - it's the only thing that's left standing and surviving at the end of all this. It does make sense that it's the most sensical part, even if it led the capsule to its fate - because it didn't itself get destroyed in the process. I can only imagine the engineers using that logic at the time.
All he had to do was input the Konami Code and they would've survived
Congratulations you just won the internet!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"You can't dodge the ground" 🤣
Ironically enough, they actually would have been able to detect the failing hull material if they had knocked on the side of the hull -- CFRP changes its sound as it starts to delaminate.
They could hear the hull cracking for over almost an hour apparently.
Did they not have audible monitoring system to do exactly that,
detecting sound? And the monitoring system was indicated "red"?
So the "engineering" in this video is actually more sound than the real deal. Oh boy
@@doncarlodivargas5497 Ive seen the audible monitoring system compared to a flash detector to warn of thunder. Sure the light gets there first. But not far enough ahead to do anything about what's coming.
@@BadOompaloompa79 - the initial comment was the audible system of knocking on the hull, how far ahead will that detect a failing hull?
3:37: "Haha still got something" is real meta, well played.
I know what you mean.
It seems that online courses are not enough to learn how to build a submarine.
ocw and mooc's are to help with self-learning to be able to step foot in a class setting, not replace the class itself.
I thought this was just a joke at first. Then I learned people actually sent someone into the ocean with a sub controlled by a video game controller
The problem isn't that they used a video game controller. That's quite common. Nicely ergonomic, most people are used to using them, designed to be easy to use.
The problem is they used a cheap one that has a reputation for being iffy. And it was a wireless connection, instead of wired. And they didn't bring a spare. They cheaped out, even on the damn controller!
@@samuelmellars7855
Also, the controller was not the only thing that could operate the sub. The main controller was the laptop.
What rock do you live under???
@@samuelmellars7855 For context, the BILLIONAIRES cheaped out on a 60 dollar controller.
Let that
Sink
In.
@@anders6326 millions on the sub and bucks on the controller. What could possibly go wro IMPLODES.
"It only echos if its strong"
This scares me.... because it
sounds like something someone would actually say. So I fear this is a direct referance to something rather than just a joke.
i think it might kinda be, the way they were measuring the damage and like tiny internal cracks in the hull was, if i'm not mistaken, a system that recorded audio and listened for something that would indicate stress on the hull, but for some reason (not engineer, just saw a video with cool graphs) that only really works with metals, with composites it won't really be useful. (someone please correct me)
@jblock9675
It works for metal because when you know the composition, you know what its yield curve is, and it will start to yield before it fails.
That is very diffrent from banging on it and saying "it echos so it's good!"
That scares me.
@@ZM1306 Thanks! needed to look up what a yield curve was but it's cool such a method would work at all, I'll keep that in mind next time I build a submarine for visiting the titanic
@jblock9675
Lol, I wasn't even worried about it with my sub project. Being I want to just putt around in my local lakes.
But every time you tighten and torque a bolt the same principal applies.
I had to look up the correct name, it is the stress-strain curve.
@@ZM1306 oh cool, ur making a sub? How large?
lol my jaw dropped at the Brilliant ad run.
Anyway: topical, edgy, 9 lols out of 10.
RIP to the kid who didnt want to go. No love lost for the others.
I can't believe Zach Star would release this raw and unedited footage of the oceangate design meeting
"Why be right when you can approximate?" Solid Gold!
Best transition to a sponsored segment
I mean, Brilliant is great and all, I'm not gonna hate on them but come on, a submersible implodes and it was revealed that the company taking $250k for this ride was steering it with a game controller, and we're supposed to not find ways to laugh about it? Advertisers should be less skittish about completely harmless jokes like this
the controller part is not actually the problem, like that was the smart decision, controllers are made to last and to work very precisely believe it or not. It's the rest that was the actual problem
I know if I had a company - I'd advertise hard in this video! The more we make stupidity foolish - the better. The fact that brilliant is marketed on brilliance - seems counterpoint to turn down this opportunity!
@@MrA6060game controllers are not precise, it's the whole reason nicer aftermarket controllers exist. The switch for example suffers large amounts of drift after a short time, while even $1 joystick modules might last longer.
What you want at minimum is hall effect gimbals, or even the $40 hobby RC controller I have has more precision (but many still upgrade to nicer hall effect gimbals in it too).
I'm not saying you need a $10k controller to safely operate remote control planes, but I've used one (still hobby grade, not milspec), but interestingly it's very difficult to find controllers the military will allow even for testing only for small UAVs (because they don't want Chinese parts in them, or at least minimal) and not so much with quality concerns.
@@jakegarrett8109 after market controllers are still game controllers.
Also you gotta see the whole thing. Using a controller was probably their smartest choice considering everything else they vhose
@@MrA6060 Its a difference in quality though, and at some point its nicer than what the military has.
Military spec means I've specified a material, heat treatment, and coatings, but my design may still suck and be insufficient. It also means its made by the lowest bidder. Meanwhile I've got a MUCH more precise pair of headphones for audio quality than military spec (because I can spend money on perfection, whereas in the military you don't care if Beethoven is slightly off, you just need to listen to someone on a staticky radio).
But yes the part I was just designing while you typed this comment is probably more over-designed and analyzed than some parts of that sub. I'm an aerospace and mechanical engineer, and for my own personal projects I don't have time constraints, I don't have penny pinching managers, I do whatever I want so my stuff is often WAY nicer than anything on the market (maybe expensive if I were to sell, but man is it nice!).
*The support team guys face says it all, not even surprised they died, but surprised they're still alive*
The end got me, STEMmerch yo
As I saw the thumbnail and title I immediately burst out laughing. I instinctively knew this was going to be hilarious!
"You cant dodge the ground!"
That got me 😂😂😂
Video so nice, he posted it twice
They pressed so many buttons that they accidentally performed a fatality...
"Cause you can't dodge the ground" is the hardest I've laughed at a comedy sketch in a while.
Been a while for a skit on this channel
Hull: designed for 42MPa pressure crush depth
Titanic: 40MPa depth (literally only 2 MPa of safety)\
>carbon fiber weakens over time
very safe wow
Okay, "Maybe Jack's still alive?" got a real chuckle. Nice!
Oh! You have the machine that goes "Bing!" Very good!
This was actually hilarious, you should do more comedy skits man!
we need engineering humor. Really!
He actually has a second channel Zach Star Himself just dedicated to comedy skits.
@@meapyboy12345 I didn't realize I WASN'T on Zach Star Himself until I read this! I forgot he has two channels.
If you see Jack on the door, just make sure you're close enough before picking up the item.
Really good delivery. It’s so on-point it makes that last joke, which is really drawn out, stay funny regardless.
Definitely the most extensive documentary I’ve seen on this topic. How did you get all of that actual footage from Oceangate?
I just realised. Did the Titan fiasco mean Titanic took away Olympic's reputation as the only non-warship to destroy a Submarine?
Man, this was brutal. Well done.
To see if Jack is still alive 😂👏
Of the many RUclips videos about the Titan submersible, this is probably the most informative and succinct.
Wow 2 videos in one day!
"Haha! Still got something."
Bro.
Always.
Press F to pay respects.
“Underwater doghouse”. 😂
My underwater doghouse is actually pretty good.
that ad transition was amazing lmao
Interesting to still see skits here even tho Zach made an extra channel for them
How to make a video even cornier than Spaceballs: Put an engineer in charge.
ooh so thats why it happened
I imagine that's exactly how that conversation went when they built that death trap
Can't believe there isn't a single joycon drift joke in here.
This is totally just smash bros when you're forced to play with a singular joycon or worse a Wii remote.
Also I loved the way you talked and walked in and turned to the audience in the last bit.
dude sefriously...too long that was ASWESOME
“Maybe Jacks still alive?!” 😂 I’m dead
“Has this ever happened to you?” 😂😂
The F/A line is comedy gold
i needed that ad
Was expecting a joycon drift joke
In all fairness it's totally common and good to use game controllers. They are familiar, precise, robust. Just ask the military.
I feel personally responsible for this...
Still look up the Byford Dolphin incident
Priceless
He really in his villainous phase
To soon, but I love violating the stupid expectation that it can be too soon to joke about something awful.
Great video 😊
thanks zach for playing out wannabe engineers and engineering gone wrong - against everyone screaming at them to stop and they do it anyway. This is why I sub'd to this channel.
that ad gave me whiplash LOL
this is the video we always wanted but didn't know we did!
This is the smartest engineer ever😂
Was not expecting a video like this on this channel. His other one most certainly, but not this one.
and I'm glad he did. This is getting to the real stuff. I wish there was an entire channel dedicated to satirize engineering disasters. It would make learning about them so much easier!
@@extropiantranshuman I agree.
"Okay so melee hit with your gun is..." "Left alt." "A'ight. And throw grenade is?" "Hold left alt." "..." "What, we can't be expected to do any real work when porting this game to PC, right?" "Wait, this wasn't made for PC to begin with?" --Bethesda, Fallout 4
Well Done !!
lmao the ending was genius
Underwater dog house, okay that made me laugh. Damn, that AM/PM commercial is freAky
Hahahaha that was hilarious!!!! Great video!!
Imagine your death becomes a meme.
How much do you want to bet Zach made this a couple weeks ago and left it till now to upload xD
Absolutely hilarious.
The sub fused with little Mac from punch out. A fierce opponent
Correction. Little Mac from smash bros
0:23 Yo I actually am HERE for his line of reasoning
Huge missed opportunity to use tilt controls to move
Loved your T-shirt of the double derivate of stick
That add killed me.
Best one so far 🤣🤣
Sure their incompetence cost them all their lives, but HEY....they had fun with it! And isn't that what really counts.
No, what matters is they were diverse and inspiring and not a bunch of 50 year old white guys.
Ah yes, have A button do everything. Looking at you Mass Effect.
I feel like this is also a bit of a super smash bros rant mixed in with an engineering skit XD
This is the darkest funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. Also I wonder if his sponsor dropped him after this.
I just realized years later that Zach Star and Zach Star Himself are the same person im not joking wtf wtf wtf 😂😂😂
Dude, too soon, pretty sure you're going to hell for that one and I'm probably going with you for laughing.
Oh wow, your profile picture looks DOPE
Amazing!!!
Did he just call a red Joycon pink?
