I'll be back to watch how warmsuits keep me wet.
hole - 1st drill press channel they preserve heat, so they make you sweat, making you wet.

Warmsuits increase your baseline sexiness. Once hormones kick in, wetness follows.
So, sweating in a sweater.
Try wear a sweater in Tropical country in sunny day. There you have it! Sweatsuit!

Why do I shiver after I pee
🍤 interesting
prostate stimulation
I bleed whenever I pee and it feels like hot needles coming out...
Uninsulated Shrimp Since the pee is so hot you let out a significant amount of "warmth" so your body shivers to recover it :)
Yanga Attempts but for me it's only a cheeky 2 second shiver. Not like a 30 second demon possessing shiver/convulsion to increase body heat
Fun fact, if you decide to pee in a wet suit, the pee might dissapear, the smell however....
Charr
I've overcome that by peeing in other people's wetsuits.
I don't think I've ever smelled a wetsuit outside of a store that didn't smell like piss.
Urea is also in your sweat, too, not just urine. So remember: whenever you're sweating, you're technically covered in pee. You're welcome! :D (and so was the wetsuit)
Extra Ampersand lol any one who has worn a wetsuit any amount of time is complelty comfortable being covered in thier own pee
If you get into The Sea you most probably are touched by fish, seagull and seal pee and poo in some quantity. You can shower after anyway and put the wetsuit into the washing machine every now and then.
Animation of air and water molecules has many errors. SciShow should do better.
It's enough for what they're trying to say, scientists are lazy you know
It spontaneously transfers heat energy.
For example? Can't really detect the error myself.(not a scientist nor has vast knowledge of science)
The water molecules are depicted as one big circle with two smaller circles attached indicating its composition of two hydrogen and one oxygen atom for each water molecule. The "air molecules" on the other hand are depicted as simple circles, but neither Nitrogen nor Oxygen nor Carbondioxid nor most of the other particles that makes up air consists of only a single atom.
At least that is what he means with "error". I don't agree though. I think the purpose is to distinct air from water, which works fine imho.
Treufuß That's cleared up a bit, i thought there's something more serious about that. imo it works just fine, and if the air were depict as their actual molecule, it will be rather confusing.
I thought that was a molar in the thumbnail.
Glorywhole me too lol

man, she is much better than she used to do. I like her now... she's not as good as Michael, but still pretty good
why do tyres have those hairs on the side?
Bad Cattitude comment of the week
Paulo Bardes in Canada we also call old tires bald.
English too!
And Dutch. Probably most languages by the sound of it.
Bad Cattitude you need to see a therapist
"Mommy why's there a polar bear surfing"
I saw the thumbnail and thought it was some sort of messed-up tooth with a heat gradient on the top part.

If you're reading this, have a Great day! 😄😄😄

Thank you very much, have a great day yourself:)
she has improved alot. good on ya m8
I kept thinking she was asking a question? Because every sentence ended with an upward inflection?
AndroidDoctorr yes. This bugs me too.
That's a general pacific northwest accent. Basically the Portland, Seattle, Missoula triangle area.
I have it really bad.
Phrases like
"You could maybe be supportive? Be a friend?" Stuff like that, are normal vernacular, when saying it as a statement is just as good (and sometimes better).
[My linguistics professor in undergrad used to chew me out for it all the time because he came from England and he hated it.]
i know right? what does shes think shes cool? keep asking questions? at the end of sentences?
AndroidDoctorr I just (perhaps dickishly) brought that up myself. It's like, I don't know why? It makes folk sound stupid? Like airheads? As if we should know? Science and stuff? ;-)
The upspeak is insufferable
I did some water survival training that explored this concept. We were in a cold pool that simulated being stuck at sea. We put opened normal trash bags and pulled them over our feet and tucked ourselves in with our heads and floatation devices above the surface of the water.
Our bodies heat the water around us like you said. They are always heating this water. But the open water moves so the water we just heated is no longer next to us.
When we isolate the heated water next to our body, it does keep us warm.
Also, piss like that one guy said.
No, that’s nonsense. A layer of water cannot keep you warm. Water is a good conductor of heat. This video is wrong - see my post above. All insulators that I’m aware of use gases, normal air, or a vacuum. Water is far too dense to insulate.
yay she got better welcome to scishow
cant do anything about her accent but at least she reduced that cow ring and shampooed the messy hair all in all she improved and looks presentable, a little less hippy a little more i didnt wake up amd put on what was on the floor
Agreed, she has really turned her look around, and looks/talks/behaves much more professional than her first and second video.
her voice cracks in the end of sentences. Liiiiike briiiitttnayyyyy spearssssssssss
Yeah, she has that annoying Millennial way of speaking where voice voice goes low at first and HIGH at the end.
hope you read this. It's been amazing to watchOlivia during the episodes. An amazing change and it is fun to watch. She seem much more relaxed and natural now. keep up the good work :D

I have a bit more to add to this. The reason neoprene is chosen is for its thermal diffusivity instead of its thermal conductivity. Thermal diffusivity has to do with how long it takes transient heat to move through the material. This is why you use charts with wetsuits to determine how long you can be in the water if the water is at a certain temperature. As opposed to a house insulation, which is chosen for thermal conductivity which limits steady state heat flow. Both of these are methods of limiting conductive heat flow.
The metal layer in some suits would be for limiting radiation heat flow, but wouldn't help limit the conductive heat flow. I don't think radiation heat flow is as affected by transient states as conductive heat flow, so that part probably doesn't need to be factored in.
"Skin-tight sopping wet onesie" So much LOL :D
One day, surfing furries.
Jim Engström i think years ago somebody was trying some prototypes or something for hair-like structures help isolating from wind too.
There are already surfing furries. They just don't use fursuits.
Came into the replies to this comment expecting a bunch of anti-Furry stuff, I am pleased to see nothing of the sort
Thx for the video!! It really helped me with a science question 💗Keep up the great work SciShow!!
Hey Olivia, thanks for presenting this topic! I'm not a diver, and I already knew in principle how this works. Though I learned something new: the heat-reflecting metal layer. Sure that makes sense, like these rescue plastic film blankets (don't know how they're actually named in English) work.
Also, I'd like to state there's nothing wrong with how you present a topic. That's your show, your rules, so don't give much on hater's opinions. You're doing it great as a host, and I really appreciate the work of your whole team. It's great work!
jbglaw +
jbglaw the other day i found there are blankets for dogs with a metal layer or two inside too, one to isolate the dog from the ground and the upper one to reflect its heat back to his body for when they sleep in a cold floor. I guess there is something similar for camping beds.
i can't believe they're gonna merge all future swimming competitions with furry conventions
Can you please do one on cerebral aneurysms? I had one rupture at 19 and would love to learn more!

at 19? that sucks...how old are you now? good health to you!
Who I see you commenting this on every SciShow vid
I promised mself I wouldn't look at ugly things this year then she appeared on my screen
She ends every sentence with "ehn", "ehhhhhnnnnn", or "uzssss"
I did not know anything about wetsuit s beside the name before and I thought the name was because they're used in water.
Thanks Olivia.
SlyPearTree +
So helpful. Thank you, I had no idea how they worked.
Can confirm. Baggy wetsuits do not keep you warm.
This channel is basically me never having known that I wanted to know this information before.
...
Wait what
that's what the internet does. Its the age of triviality. Trivial information that no one needs, discarded after a moment's use. No knowledge is too sacred, too important. It is a continuation of the television's "Now...this" newscasts where the information of a possible nuclear war is succeeded by a commercial of burger king.
pramitbanerjee well you are right somehow but if the information you get from internet is not relevant is more one's fault because you click on it to see it. And if you can not find something personally relevant to learn in 2017's internet, most probably you need to find what you want out of life first.
its my choice to reply to your post. But its also your fault to write your post in a manner which requires me to reply to it. Because you missed the point entirely. I don't argue for the individual, i argue for the collective, whose patterns are much easier to identify.
pramitbanerjee what?
I just pointed that 1) internet, unlike tv, is interactive. the user always chooses what to see or not. it's not like it's bombarding you with information you didnt ask, not all the time. 2) it's full of useful content today. you can learn almost anything from your screen.
I was not trying to insult you really.
The problem is many people dont know how to use internet. They dont bother sesrching and conparing sources, asking the proper questions, or orgaqnizing their online time (that's me).
You look like Ivar from Vikings.
Great, divers wearing fursuits, just what we need.
I would love to see surfers wearing beaver suits.
I love Scishow, I watch every episode. You are a fantastic host!
I can't wait to see all the new beaver-suits on the beach this summer!
Always a pleasure to watch the Jar Jar Binks of Sci Show! 😊😊😊
you are the man Olivia!
Most surf brands use hydrophobic thermal materials on the inside of most suits. makes the surfer much warmer
I really enjoy this host! Olivia Gordon is an excellent person to have on the channel. Great speaking voice, obviously extremely intelligent, likable, respectable, informative, etc. Keep her on the channel, SciShow, please! :)
How many people want to see this woman or Michael host a crash course series ? I do
Great, highly informative and insightful video!
Could I ask you a favour - may I know what mic are you using to record your videos? And what smartphone/camera are you using? Thanking you profusely from the bottom of my heart!
keep up the good work Olivia!
Victoria Ridgway +
great video!
Looking forward to Surfurs being a thing.
The Thumbnail Looked Like a Tooth... LOL
Using dense, fur-like material to insulate you from the cold water? That otter be useful.
the thumbnail looks like a wetsuit is a weirdly shaped tooth of someone that has blue gums
Awesome and adorable!
Thank you, Olivia!
Keep "warm" is a big word... let's less "less cold"...
This is what my science class sounds like, just the teacher talking
I once tried swimming in deep ocean without a swimsuit and almost got hypothermia, the next day I asked for one and holy, you really notice the difference.
This answered what I was wondering about.
Surfers will surfing in Beaver Onesies - now that'd be a funny sight! 😂
Yay Olivia!
I didnt even know thats what the wetsuits were for.
Question! What is up with polarized lens?
why does she sound like the grudge when she is about to end every sentence ?
Can I use in In summer season for swimming?
Wow, she's gotten to be a much better host, I'm quite glad.
It's always good to see Olivia as Scishow host.
Why do we need ultrasound gel? I get that it is similar to skin in density, but instead of producing sound through the gel, can't we directly produce it through the skin?
Skin tight sopping wet onesie.... Awesome 🤣
All the things I'm interested in she narrates 😭 her voice just grates on my nerves
I'm with you 100%
What I get from this is that soon we may have surfers who wear fursuits.
I am both ok with, and slightly concerned about this.
I have a 5.4 mm wetsuit I use for winter surfing and let me tell you it works like a gem keeps me nice n cozy
Will there be a video about dry suits or are those self explanatory?
This video was much much much better than her first video. Keep working!
came here to read the peeing in the wetsuits comments.... not disappointed
good info
"Snorkelers, surfers, divers. They all use them… wetsuits!"
looks like we need GramShow
Isn;t the Internal Body temp 37C/98.6F ? So your external body heat would be a lil lower.
i love your videos
thanks for changing the title. before that, I was wondering what wetsuits actually do.
If it was beaver inspired wouldn't it be a dry suit?
Thank you for the video! I've been biking a lot lately in all kinds of weather and like to stay as warm as possible. I learned some helpful information.
Oh, I thought a wetsuit was what happened if you are too nervous/scared at a job interview... you wet your suit.
Master Therion
They say "Dress for the job you want, not the job you have." You may want to really rethink your career path at that point.
What is the difference between pulse or blood pressure?
Why wait for science to make a better wet suit? I'm going surfing with a bever fur suit next time. Thanks for the inspiration SciShow.
there are also dry suits.
they are for when it's even colder. yeah my parents did windsurfing in the north sea in the winter
Do wet suits Make you uncomfortably hot if you wear it outside of the water? I want to wear one to go surfing and keep it on afterwards. Will I be sweating profusely?
It’s summer temperatures right now 75-90 degrees Fahrenheit.
Olivia Gordon keeps me warm ;)
I can I wear wet suit just for convent for not being cold during in winter?
First i would like to thank everyone involved in making all the scishow, crash course, and scishow space videos. Thank You! I cannot properly express my gratitude in text so i will digress. I have a concern that may be interesting to think about... and i apologize for submitting in such form but... how long do you think it will take to deplete the worlds fresh water if we keep throwing away bottles of water, with water still inside only to be covered by waste and left to sit fof hundreds of years before getting the chance to be released back into the water table? This has been the driving force for my own personal campaign to free the water. I call it... " Free The Water Campaign". Where i live there are constantly bottles of water with an average of 10 percent left in them, i know because I work for a University and change trash liners nearly every day. I would be very interested in what informed, intelligent and non-complacent individuals have to say... Thank you again, Concerned in New Mexico.
Animal fur wet suits sound like a great way to encourage a curious shark to take a "bite"... Hope that's part of the testing...
*OK she grows on u*.
*good job Olivia*.
What is the purple stuff that you get when you get an injury??
Have I mentioned that your tonal phrasing is nice?
chewbacca wetsuit. yes please!
The Greens yes
Peeing in the suit keeps you warm, but don't try that in bed on a regular basis.
So the researchers are working on wet furry suits? They'll be rich fur sure.
thank you
the command blocker +
If you ever gone surfing, diving, or even swimming in the ocean, you may have worn a wetsuit before?
I don't know, you're telling me or asking.
It'd be great if you put the links to your other videos in the description since mobile users can't click the annotations. Get with it, folks.
Always wondered how they worked
The occasional interesting video has arrived!
that intro is way better in my opinion
well am going to need a custom wet suit for curiosity and tinkering, curostering, tinkositi?
I hope the next video is about DRYsuits!!!
I like your hair Olivia!
so early let me make a science joke
wanna hear a joke about nobelium
NO
trey Jarmon wanne hear a joke about noble Gases ?
-no Reaktion
You guys put a summer suit in the thumbnail but then proceeded to talk about winter suits
But isn't it all the same concept?
Kyle probably because they function exaclty the same
I think wetsuits are pretty incredible and genius
