No problem
It's also got a hole in it
I for one am all for it I'm calling it the Titanic 2.0 and let's stick as many of the wealthiest people as we can and politicians on it for its maiden voyage I heard it's indestructible I also heard it could plow right through ice no problem

The way they intend to build a dry dock in the middle of the ocean sounds like they're trying to drain an ocean monument in Minecraft.
On the bright side, it’s probably hot enough in Saudi Arabia to dry sponges
I mean, that would explain the cranes.
Dunno why Adam is treating it like some impossible feat, all you need is some sand and sponges
I mean, the Saudis do have the sand they'd need to pull it off, right?
It’s what we do at a smaller scale for building bridges it might actually be possible for the cost of several Hoover Dams
Traffic jams on an ocean vessel, truly revolutionary.
Heyyy, what's civilization WITHOUT the traffic?
Hey, if you can't get drunk and drive your electric golf cart into the ocean, are you truly even alive?
Jammed traffic? Will it taste like gasoline and oil?
Oh, those pesky poor thinkers
@@Confucius_Says...Paradise
Projects that are never leaving the optimistic computer render stage are the BEST
people actually buy this, its a classic crypto scam
let's be real no one is going to build this unless they have more money then sense and even if they did it will be a floating train wreck ..
All it needs is four elephants walking in circles on the upper deck.
With hippos in each of the 50,000 pools below which will make great water mates for the people going for their morning swim.
I guess the remaining 55,000 people live on the disc above the elephants too
Don't worry there will be two footed hippos.
Or a giant turtle with 4 elephants on top holding the world. The Great A'Tuin would be completed.
Also worth mentioning is the fact that on some of these renders you can see a couple of PRIVATE JETS parked on the upper ring of the structure. That'd be a hell of a feat, landing a jet plane on a moving structure, on a circular, oblong runway, dodging helicopters and avoiding the giant pit with people at the bottom.
also, funny God's Wind' plane goes brrr, because at that point it is sabotaugable as all hell
physics definition of motion go brr (we will never have a stable reference point)
It's not a giant pit with people at the bottom.
It's a giant pit with _60000_ people at the bottom.
@@normanmai7865 yes
"circular, oblong" - I think you mean 'oval'.
The terayacht is the equivalent of hiring a bunch of engineers and telling them to follow whatever plans your 7 year old son makes
Pretty on point through, since it is the target audience, ie dictators, who have the maturity of 7 year olds.

@@orterves Cyber Truck
No engineers were involved in this unless it was a drunken prank (which would be brave/stupid in Saudi Arabia).
Wasn't this a Simpsons episode
"A yacht made by a master of entertainment: a child!"
I think our planet might be a comedy show for aliens.
lmfao
Or maybe it's a Cautionary Tale planet....
That's actually the plot of The Simpsons Hit&Run
Except the joke isn't funny anymore. It's completely gratuitous and sad.
I have often considered this. 😂
Always love to see ocean-centric projects from people whose only experience with water is their personal pool, where large waves and rocking boats are simply myths to keep your from investing in the funny turtle yacht
Where would they even float it? The Atlantic is to rough for it, north sea would capsize it, it cant get out of the Mediterranean either direction, and most of the Pacific nations are too smart or poor to build it.
I can imagine a beached Terayacht serving as a compound for some warlord in a post-apocalyptic setting/story.
I would love that.
Waterworld?
Feels like something straight out of dead island 2, 7 days to die, dying light 2, etc lol, someone didn't get their DLC idea picked up so they thought "fk it let's pitch it as a real world idea and see how far I get"
Would make for a fire multiplayer map for a BF2042 in an alternate reality where it didn't suck
Ngl, if anyone is looking for inspirations for the levels of a doomsday scavenger sim game, going through Adam's backlog should give you all the ideas you need.
It's always a good sign when me, someone who has spent 0 time thinking about naval engineering before this point, takes one look at those side flippers and goes "... wait."
Yeah lol, you don't need to study physics and engineering for 5 years to understand that bits sticking out to the side equals drag, equals not going anywhere in a hurry.
@@generalrubbish9513 but if you *have* studied by which I mean you happen to remember leverage from high school, you'll see that they're structurally completely fucked and will not remain attached to the main body for long :D
@@emdivinethat's where the economy class is
What if they’re actually little boats that can detach like flying fists?
@@GraingyAircraft more structural weak points then. How do the main body and the fin remain reliably attached in an environment where waves are constantly trying to break the darned thing down?
This suddenly makes sense if you assume it was only ever intended to be a crypto scam.
Most probably it was.
Yes, that was what came to mind, too. I would not be surprised if the people behind this svam were the same who were behind Hyperfund.
This project is somehow even more dystopian than Waterworld. Which is ironically the exact type of scenario is seems to want to prepare for.
i thought this was a subnautica update
I would fully endorse a Waterworld sequel/reboot with a bunch of villains sailing around on a post-apocalyptic version of this thing.
From the creators of the waterproof sponge, the fireproof matches, the inflatable anchor, the pedal powered wheelchair and the silent alarm clock, we're proud to introduce the concrete cruise.
Splendid.
Your comment reminded me of a British sitcom of the 1970s. The premise was about a guy who was a failure at everything. So, he tried to commit suicide, but failed. Then he got the idea to try to fail, fail at failing, and thereby succeed. It worked. He opened a store that sold the type of things you listed in your comment, along with rungless ladders.
My favorite comment of 2024 so far😆
Sounds like a spishak product.
Concrete cruise sounds like the kind of punishment mobsters would give people
The fact this thing is designed in the shape of an endangered species is some ghoulish reference.
While the building process (a big IF) might contribute to their extinction.
@@fajaradi1223 not might. Already has. For thirty plus years.
@@InservioLetumthat doesn't makes sense, it isn't actually build...
Also the shape seems like...the least aquadynamic thing possible? I want some of whatever the people who designed it were smoking.
@@iamjustkiwi Whatever they where smoking was so good, you don't need a wardrobe to head of to Narnia 🤣
The Pangeos reminds me that video from the first RUclips era, filled with those crazy futuristic concept arts of consoles or phones, like Xbox 720, Wii 2, IPhone 17 etc.
History really repeats itself.
Tbh Microsoft should've named the next console Xbox 720 instead of this mess we have now lol
These crazy mega projects remind me of the assignments we used to do in elementary school where the teacher asks us to imagine a building or city in the future and us kids just go ham and cram in everything we can think of because "wouldn't it be cool if we could take an elevator right into to the swimming pool?" etc
They should instead build a turtle shaped affordable housing complex
Makes me wonder if Adam knows 'Permaculture'
Or a 12000 km diameter turtle shaped spaceship, on which you can house giant space elephants
What next? All public spaces inside of it and around it be banned of cars, and with lots of green and with good bike path outside of it?
What next? Good and frequent public transit, trams included?
What next? Affordable housing?
Such crazyness. Luckily we live in a world were everything is just a space for cars! Imagine BIKING to work. /s
"Helping the poor what do you think we are? Commoners!? We didn't work our ass off to help others"
There seems to be an error the lie filter wasn't on.

U know its gonna fail when it looks like as if its designed in Minecraft and violates several laws of physics
With the exception that people enjoy looking at minecraft designs because they're creative fun and not dystopian as shit
This was never about building the ship, it's just a grift selling the NFTs.
They even did the "Remove water from a section of the ocean" thing!!! Are they gonna get rid of the water with falling sand?!?!?
9:19
It is. That seems to be a yacht club you can enter with your own yacht through three gates; the one being through the "tail" of the turtle, the others visible right there in the frame.
This also means the displacement of the vessel sinks to near zero.
As you can even build boats from concrete (yes it's an academic sports event), you might get a huge soup bowl like this to float, but only if the whole bowl acts as the floating device. But with the necessary holes in it for the yacht gates, it's just going to sink.
I was thinking the same; with the weight of this thing & its materials, surely this is like cracking a china cereal bowl straight down the middle ( up to a point ) & hoping the two halves still float?!
When I was 5-6 years old I used to make things out of Lego that had similar levels of thought through solutions - No wonder they used Lego cranes. They are still playing.
This looks like the villan's final hideout in a JRPG
I literally looked at this and thought it was from a Tales game 🤣
It does vaguely resemble the flying fortress/airship (?) in Crono Trigger.
Nah It needs to be a more evil animal
Like a shark
But It could Be the starting Zone were your peacefull Village Is located

@@kenon6968not that it matters though, this project clearly weasn't thought by the cruise industry. Probably not even *for* the cruise industry, it reeks of NFT scam.
This thing is going to end up running aground in the sea turtles’ hatching grounds.

When the infoposter on the megaproject has two spelling errors and some small text that says that none of the companies that have their logos on the poster actually want anything to do with the project, it's time to worry.
When the concept art is lego its time to run.
5:00 Concrete ships actually are a thing. During WW2 there was a serious shortage of steel, so the Western Allies built some concrete barges. They mainly served as pontoons, blocking ships or transport vessels.
The Lego Cranes are a next level fuck up. Holy.
It's not Lego.
It's a toy, but not Lego.
It's not like there was actual intent to create any physical thing. The concept is merely a token in a con game, so the accuracy of the concept _art_ is meaningless.
@@HammyJamPantsnow that you mention it... I wonder if the mistakes are left there intentionally? Scammers purposely leave grammar and spelling errors in their emails so that they only get responses from easily confused people. If I were running a grift like this, I probably wouldn't want anyone with half a shred of common sense to get interested and start asking questions.
I almost died when Adam pulled up the image of Lego boxes
not even Lego lmfao
I love how despite the fact that we've been building ships to be more and more hydrodynamic for centuries, suddenly someone though that "This ship should have the most drag in existence because it looks cool" is a good idea. I have a feeling the "yacht" would need nuclear propulsion just to gently move. Someone should tell the "engineers" who designed this that when sea turtles extend their flippers, it's to PUSH themselves in water, they don't cruise in that fixed position.
😅😂😂👏👏
Deffo not engineer that did this. Its architect or designer
The nuclear power would only let them get by with a refueling every 5-20 years.
I mean, this is obviously supposed to be sold too boomers, so yes. Everything being in walking distance absolutely is not good enough
@@Theo-ev6yu nah you need to rocket propel it by repeatedly detonating castle bravo hydrogen bombs to get it to move at a hasty 13km/h
3:18 Dear gosh, a Lego Racer soundtrack reference? That took me back about 23 years...
Good ear! I was searching the comments for someone who recognized that soundtrack
This project should have the lifespan of a soap sardine.
"present project"
"Interrupted after intro"
"Back to finding new job opportunity"
Back in art school, for our 3D modeling class, we had to design and present a concept for a floating city of the future when the sea level rises. Since the focus of the project was the design aspect, we were completely unbound by any sort of realism and this is exactly the kind of wild ideas people came up with.
Wouldn't be surprised if this is someone's student project being repurposed as a thinly-veiled NFT scam.
@@Neogeddona fool and their money and all that
For when the sea rises a couple centimeters
@@Neogeddon TBH with levels of Student Debt... I wouldn't be surprised that a former student is doing this to get some money to pay off the debt...
Especially if dumb rich people fall for this it will only be fair for their money to pay of the debt and then some.
After just delete the website and everything and disappear knowing for the rest of your life you will be student debt free, but looking over your shoulder for the FBI.
I think your art project somehow got fed into an AI and this is the result.
The inside of the turtle looks like if Venice was made out of American suburbs
Or the Lego version anyway.
Somehow this made me laugh so hard because I can see it....
The city of Cape Coral in Florida also has "Venice, but American Suburbs"
That’s just Florida or New Orleans
Ah, there it is, my Dystopian Mental Image Of The Day.
It also begs the question of what they expect to build this out of. The flippers are so wide that irregular waves (which is *all* waves) will more than likely cause the entire vessel to experience enough stresses to significantly warp if not shatter most structural materials I can think of off the bat--especially since this thing has to float.
That thing could be built entirely out of the largest ship engines and fuel tanks and it still wouldnt move an inch. There's a reason why ships are long and relatively narrow. Water drag is a bitch.
That thing is at minimum pushing two Oasis of the Seas SIDEWAYS through water. Imagine the size of that bow wake, it would not be allowed anywhere near shores because of the tsunamis it'd cause so it would live in the open ocean. Which would cause some "slight" issues with refueling and resupplying.
A floating doomsday bunker for the mega rich. One that has no way to power itself forward, is full of concrete and is prone to break apart when there are waves. We need this!
Titanic 2 is going to solve income inequality globally if they build this thing
We need it televised!
An aquatic doomsday bunker for the ultra rich? I like the idea, but:
- We make it submersible for the whole "bunker" logic
- The concrete is poured in after the ultra rich are inside, instantly submerging the construction forever.
It will no doubt be super-strong if made with Chinese bamboo rebar..
To me the main thing is a lot of it is made out of concrete, the salt in the air is gonna fuck that shit up. Whoever's responsible for maintenance is either gonna a rich man or a troubled soul
This literally feels like something somebody would build in Minecraft
RIGHT?!
shh!!! you've discovered the secret of how they'll build this! don't tell everyone or they'll all want one 😂
It would be more structurally sound than whatever these geniuses came up with 😂
I find this insulting as I definitely used more thought when playing in creative mode when I was 12 than this
I remember Nerdcubed doing something similar to this like a decade ago
Man, the *Turtle Club* from "The Master of Disguise" sure got an upgrade.
Someone saw that one mission from Black Ops 2 and immediately thought this would be a fantastic idea.
To quote the physicist Wolfgang Pauli, "This is not right. This is not even wrong."
Ganzfalsch
Pretty sure it's intentionally shitty on so many levels to sort out investors too intelligent to get scammed. It's the techbro startup equivalent of the Nigerian prince scam mails.
I love Pauli omg I'd never think hed be mentioned in a adam something RUclips comment
That's a brilliant quote
I KNEW something was missing while watching this, like one important piece of the puzzle.
Then this project went "Hey, also buy our NFTs!" and it all came together.
Yeah this is just another crypto scam. Generate hype, pump up the coin, rugpull. They might have invested a thousand in design and rendering in the hope of scamming a million.
This thing’s got crypto, NFTs, and metaverse all in one. It’s like a 2022 buzzword bingo.
The Way they make HUGE promises you'd think this project was being run/organised by 'Billie Mcfarlane' [the guy who did "Fyre Festival" and is trying again after getting out of prison for the first one]
Just replying with update. I don't know much but OpenSea is listing Pangeos transactions much lower volume (1/15th) and down from 0.034 ETH to ~0.01 ETH.
" Why is there a turtle in the toaster ? "
He looked cold mum ....
What the hell! You added "Helicopter, Helicoper" AND Deus Ex AND Age of Mythology music in this video?
I can't love you enough, Adam!
I also love how all the premium private villas are arranged deep within the structure, so not only do you not get the benefit of having a view - you get to be overlooked by all the -peasants- "guests" in their little inward facing cabins.
Perfect for influencers to live their Truman Show-esque fantasies though.
Like a lot large architectural structures that get designed it's all about the wow factor of the preview. Looking at scale models from a top down perspective does not give a viewer any idea of what the actual experience will look like to a person standing in it, on it, or in front of it.
I see it all the time when I approach some odd building that doesn't seem to make any sense. Then I'll realize what went wrong. "Oh, I get it. It looked really cool as a model"
It's also a weird flex to spend all that money to be on the ocean but not really have a view of the ocean.
Plot twist. The inner structure transforms into an arena where the poor will watch the rich fight to the death.
@@GraniteInTheFaceThat would legit make for an awesome dystopian TV show/movie. Rich people sail their giant turtle ship into international waters, and then they watch a battle royale taking place in the centre arena
"You know how we figured out the best shape for a hydrodynamic ship like....8000 years ago?
Forget all that. I've got two words for you:
"Giant Turtle" "
*_"....B R I L L I A N T--"_*
The wide spread front fins are driving me bonkers especially. They look like they'll snap off in the first storm. Like the person that came up with this has zero knowledge about how ships work. They haven't even seen Titanic. That'd almost be research.
@@iluvcamaros1912 they dont have zero knoledge. they somehow managed to have negative knoledge.
I’m positive this was designed by someone with a Discworld fetish. In that series by Terry Pratchett, the world is on a turtle’s shell. It’s like that, only stupid.
Out of everything they chose a turtle. Not a shark, not a dolphin, not even a whale. Even a whale would have been better, goddamn
Every time Adam says "hell yeah" it brings me joy.
a floating Great A'Tuin , Terry Pratchett (RIP) would have been proud to see his vision become a reality.
I love how the water in the middle was clearly meant to be a port- it's colored different, there are yachts, heck you can SEE where it connects to the ocean. Then someone asked "what happens to all the boats and even the dock itself when the turtle starts to move?" and they went "no, no, it is pool!"
Well considering the rest of the engineering challenges here it would be pretty easy to just close it off for transport and have it stay full of sea water
Oh you’re right! There’s a channel leading to the back where you’d presumably pilot a boat through to reach the inside “port.” That wouldn’t work at all!
Can you *imagine* the load on the fenders as the 'stationary' boat constantly grinds up against a moving mega tortoise
@xhappybunnyx Completely negligible if acceleration stays low. We already do this daily when inspection and pilot boats need to bow up to large cargo vessels to put people up the Jacob's ladder. In fact IRL it's much worse because a pilot/CG boat needs to keep constant acceleration into the fender smashed against the hull to maintain control of the boat and Coxswains do this daily with only 6-12 months of training.
@jrjubach Almost all large Coast Guard boats have openable stern for launch of smaller craft and many Navy boats even have areas that flood with sea water for low observation disembarkation. We already do this to a smaller scale literally daily.
My guess is this was created by some Malaysian Discworld-fan architect students who had some fun after a party where they got drunk.
beer pong, but with moonshine!
probably ai-generated to test incredulity of youtubers like adam s.
You shouldn't insult Malaysian people like that. They are certainly not known to be an evil scam force.
@@miskatonic6210 In case you didn't notice, the country doesn't really matter in my sentence. (And I didn't say the scam was made by them, just the turtle.)
What matters for the country is only that it is Islamic, because of "getting drunk" and with lots of coast line (turtle).
Why Malaysia of the available options? Because I just talked to someone there.
Or in other words, it's Satire.
@@steemlenn8797I don't know, sounds pretty racist to me...
Don’t forget the business jets that require a straight run of a kilometre or two to get off the ground just casually parked on the roof like they can just lap the boat a few times to build up speed for rotation.
Oh boy, listening to you roasting all those "smart ideas" made me really laugh 😅
You didn't even mention that the Pangeos Terayacht is being guarded by 25 Metal Gear Ray units.
Honestly that would be the most realistic part of this
Time stamp?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So when the turtle yacht crashes into a coast we can call it the Big Shell incident.
I wanna look at the metal gears please i'm desperate help
That thing would be an insanely cool location for some scifi post apocalypse game. No need to be physically possible when you can just handwave it and say "nanobots"
Bethesda's Brink is actually set in a floating city some untold years after some kind of apocalypse on the mainland.
the fins would be too implausible a design
A Fictional setting would allow leeway and you could make up some Sci-fi or Magic bullshit to handwave away some of the impossible structural integrity. Plus, it'd be a neat way to demonstrate the stupidity/arrogance of a ruling class in the setting.
It's already an IRL apocalypse escape room. It's called Sealand.
Nanomachines, son.
I made a calculation. The 60’000 guests are divided into three categories: 500 super rich people (SRP), 5’000 crew to operate the… thing and serve the SRP, and 54’500 rowers to move the whole stuff at the whooping speed of 1 knot downwind. The food stores should be sufficient for an autonomy of 2,5 days, which is amply enough to get out of the terayard and back, if wind and currents allow it.
There are actually some examples of dry docks reclaimed from the ocean where they built a square wall, pumped the water out, built a ship, and then let water in slowly
I know what this ships needs for its inhabitant's commute :
An hyperloop!😂
😮 Thats the solution 🎉😆 One that goes around the ship 1000 km/h 🤣😂 You sir are genius 🎉 Why didn’t Adam come up with this 🤣😂 It’s what this project definitely needs 🎉
Oh but those cars will probably need to be arranged in single file to deal with space. It would just be easier if they somehow connected the cars together so multiple people could use the hyperloop at the same time.
Oh but they'll need some kind of schedule so they can use it properly! Maybe they'll have to make some kind of station with hyperloop car conga line schedule boards so they know when they can get on.
@@burningsnow9870 get out that's actually semi-practical, you're too smart for this project go work for dahir insaat
MONORAIL!!
As a guy who works on ships, I'm fascinated by what they think will happen to the bow wash and water flow with those weird shaped flipper wings where huge amounts of displaced water will collect. This is why most ships have bows shaped narrow that allow water flow to pass along the length of the hull and not create areas it'll just collect.
Wait, boats are boat-shaped for a reason? lol
EASY DUE FUSS!!😒
MULTIPLE VERTICAL HULLS THAT THE REST IS BUILT OVER AND CONNECTED!!
NOW THE BASE IS SHIPS MOVING IN TANDEM AND IN SYNC! WHILE THE TOP IS ALL CONNECTED AND ONE SOLID UNIT!!
So all the water flows and there's no drag!
As a ship it certainly isn’t “ship shape” is it. Would be like piloting a cement factory.
Never mind weather, waves, or any kind of disturbances I'm not even sure there is a way to make this monstrosity structurally sound enough to not just collapse in still water.
Just use the Fiat 500 to push the water aside, I'm sure this will work just fine!
I love the way Adam says water. Very satisfying
Honestly, i hope they actually try and build this thing. It would be the funniest disaster.
you missed one small thing: one of the renders (10:13) shows several private jets parked ON THE ROOF. Even if by the grace of god a plane could touch down on the longer ends of that thing, it would immediately become a smoking wreck because of the concrete barriers they've scattered about on it for seemingly no reason.
They're VTOLs. They thought of everything. I mean, they might be rendered as regular jets but you're supposed to use your imagination.
i think those concrete barriers are supposed to be stairscases/elevators.
ah I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice and be like 'hold on a second'
glad I wasnt the only one to notice this.
Let's see if kelsey could land there
the difference between the Icon of the seas and this is stunning, on one end you have the most talented designers and engineers backed by decades of real experience and on the other you have someone's nephew who just learned blender.

The next time someone asks me what kind of CAD experience I have, I'll just show them this project and ask them what difference does it make? Somebody just got paid ridiculous amounts of money to throw random Sketchfab objects onto a giant turtle boat that no one will ever build.
They really tried to make their own Lion Turtle, huh?
I feel like those flippers are one rough storm away from shearing clean off the side. With that in mind, I commend the Pangeos team for wanting to build a high end floating deathtrap for the ultra-rich, well played and I wish you the best of luck.
IKR. I saw this thing and went, "ohhhh, someone's trying to capitalize on the rich not learning anything from the Titan incident."
This thing is either a mousetrap for the rich, or someone's fraud scheme.
>high end floating deathtrap for the ultra-rich
Based. I approve.
I have an idea: We should name it the Titanic Turtle
@@zachariusd6473it literally is a titanic turtle lmao!
The entire structure will likely shear and break, not just the 'flippers'... given the materials and the scale, it would be a disaster... Even seen one of those videos of heavy duty container ships and the way they flex in stormy conditions? Some flexibility is vital for all large vessels. The reason the Vikings succeeded as sailors before modern shipbuilding techniques was the incredible flexibility of their Drakkar, otherwise their ships would likely shatter crossing open seas.
Every future cruise ship must have the goon deck now
The last cruise I heard off was named "the poop cruise". I am not stepping on a cruise.
Punishment zone, woooo!
We call them henchpeople today
I've been there when the uk "Air Ambulance" (a medical helicopter with paramedics on board in the UK) took off. The Emergency Services would not allow us anywhere near the helicopter, as they shouldn't. It also made an awful lot of noise taking off. It was loud enough that repeated exposure (as would happen if you live 3 meters away from where you or your neighbours keep a helicopter) that you would have hearing damage, even if your house or apartment had good sound proofing.
Never would I have thought that the Titanic Part 2 would take place in a post apocalyptic world💀
Makes me think of Dubai's man-made islands. Majority of which they haven't completed, much less used. And the ones that are used and occupied have no sewage lines and have to be serviced by daily traffic jam amounts of septic tanks on wheels. Which ultimately don't have enough facilities to dump the sewage in, so they end up dumping the stuff in the sea and other places not meant for dumping waste.
If the mega rich can't get that to work, the mega rich who came up with this idea are completely out of their minds.
These mega rich projects always make me laugh. They _always_ ignore the fact that they'll need workers who provide services for the rich who live there. With the amount of services they always claim they'll offer, they'd need to have more housing for the workers than the wealthy residents they're marketing to.
I'm pretty sure the dude making min wage serving starbucks ain't gonna have the capital work _and_ live on a luxury yacht. 😂
This is a misconception actually, they did finish most of them, and then no one wanted to buy like half of 'em, so don't worry dude, they spent all the money to dredge millions of tons of sand and then didn't get squat for it
If they are mega rich, then the mega rich should have no problem doing all the physical manual labor themselves, since people are supposed to earn all their wealth through hard work.@@DoctorDerpman
Then those megarich need to be forced to factor in the housing for ALL workers needed to build and maintain their megaprojects.@@DoctorDerpman
These projects are just an excuse to waste money
I can’t help but notice that in one of the renders at 10:11 there are PRIVATE JETS parked next to the helicopters on the roof. I can’t find any runways on board so I can only assume they’re claiming the ship can match the speed of an aircraft. It wouldn’t be much crazier than the rest of this plan lol.
LMAO I saw that too
The jets are VSTOL obviously ;)
@@skorpion101382 Which would indeed be a cool thing for modern jets! ^^

More like 750m actually. The rear wall where it says "650 meters" is at 90° to the two adjacent walls, the "coastline" of the dock is not
1:45 Gotta love that their plans refer to the 'basement area' instead of the hull. Gives me tons of faith in the designers that they aren't familiar at all with nautical terminology. Somehow someone managed to top Neom for stupid projects, well done!
no no no, you have it all wrong, once we build the dam, we build the basement. after the basement is done we can start on the ship. the basement is there so i can keep all my stuff!
The drag of a ship shaped like this in the water would be ginormous.
I'm pretty sure the drag on this design is 0 newtons as they don't intend to actually build the thing. The real goal of this project is covered in this video starting @10:48. The rest is just smoke and mirrors.
Teranormous
gotta make up for all the drag performances that are illegal in Saudi Arabia ^^

The one glaring omission I spotted was a lack of Marine barracks and security check points. Pretty sure that keeping themselves safe from the crew and pirates would take up an outsized chunk of the residents minds.
Love how they took inspiration from Minecraft and came up with the idea to drain an Ocean Monument in real life.
Concrete ships are actually a thing (reinforced concrete specifically), but that makes construction more expensive, and requires much thicker hull, which reduces the actual internal space you can use and hurts hydrodynamics. They're also a much bigger pain to make because, well, it's concrete, you can't just rivet and weld it into shape, you have to arrange the rebar and then let the concrete set and cure.
Really they're mostly made as unpowered barges or pontoons, and the only real time that saw them being made in number was during the world wars, when more conventional materials (see: steel) were in high demand and there was a great need for cargo ships and barges for logistics.
I remember there being a concrete tall ship (sailing) around for a while but at the EOL they didn't commission another one built that way.
someone built a concrete sailboat in the 70s and once it was all finished and put in water it started rusting immediately because they had skipped rebar coating or something. so it was scrapped.
@@rifz42 Maybe the concrete had a crack or was porous enough that moisture got in and started rusting the rebar.
I remember, back in the 70s, there was a lot of enthusiasm for building concrete boats for inland waterways. Given we didn't see much of them after that, it would appear it didn't actually work in practice, or if it did, they didn't last for long.
@@grahvis They do work fine actually. Just...doing so with steel is soo much easier. Concrete is a lot of work after all, and you need to do it above the ground, in single form and as much uniform as possible...on a very big boat. And if it cracks, then you might as well scrap it entirely, as concrete ships sunk VERY easily once water is inside.
You say the thing in the middle is just a pool, but other renders clearly show a tunnel directly connecting it to the open sea. So like, it's simultaneously a pool, with further infrastructure right below it, AND the open ocean. It's a tiny little bay they've created. Which is even stupider than either idea alone. And it's only connected at the back. Which would theoretically create a low-pressure zone and drain it as it moves through the ocean.
Not to mention presumably sucking several billionaires out to sea in the process.
Not defending this stupid project, but that part isn't as stupid as it seems. That area is a well deck, and they do work on amphibious assault ships, so i see no reason why they shouldn't work on a megayacht. Now, they do only work with slow ahead or a dead stop, so they would need either doors to keep the thing flodded or just do what amphibious assault ships do and raise the welldeck so it is dry when going fast (or rather, raise the whole vessel). Now the one maybe stupid thing in their well deck design is them having more stuff below the welldeck, but i am almost sure that the LHA's of the US Navy do this as well, so there can't be that much wrong with it.
Besides, we already transport barges and the like over the Ocean with specially created vessels that definetly have infrastructure below deck
@@phuealYou say that like that's an issue
So you take a dip in the pool, and it eventually drains until youre sucked under the bottom of the boat?
There were 3 entrance points, even though the ass of the turtle that ships enter and exit through was a main focus. There is one on either side also. But that just opens all new possibilities for disaster
I'm not particularly into urban planning and I like skyscrapers but this monstrosity is truly inexcusable.
Thank you for playing the same song that my son's favorite firetruck video plays in th3 background. Properly encapsulated the vibe of these designers lol
It honestly feels like a concept built for a video game. A really sweet Call of Duty or Titanfall map, and this entire thing was intentionally made to fit some sort of ARG or in-game thematic presentation.
Colossus from Black Ops 2
i mean olympus in apex is literally just this but in the sky and bigger and slightly more sensible.
ninja edit: “sensible” only in the realm of the massively advanced sci-fi of the titanfall universe, of course.
Reminds me of The Ark from Brink
No remember the space ship from Wall-e that’s it, they are too lazy to walk so they will just use golf carts and get fat!! And then the thing will sink!
It'd work as a privately owned cruiseliner in something like Star Trek.
Somehow you missed mentioning the render at 10:11 that shows two executive jet aircraft on the upper ring just to be ridiculous, or the fact that enormous fin shaped bow will create so much hydrodynamic pressure that any attempt to move it faster than 5mph would result in a bow wave that would swamp the ship.
The difficulties when you are tackling project so full of BS that you simply can not fit all the nonsense that you see in words.
I lost my mind when I saw the two private jets parked on what has to be an aluminum metal roof
oh god the planes I didn't see those! Imagine being a pilot, and being told to land the private jet you're flying on a moving cruise ship WITH NO RUNWAY. Also the landing area is CURVED.
@@FluffyuddersYou are presuming that the "wind shield" spacers are retractable?"
@@theholk I'm not presuming anything, the sheer stupidity of the project and everything associated with it melted my brain.
Well building the supports for bridges are exactly that. It's called a caisson. However a caisson that large is a bit ridiculous. Most floating city concepts involve building much smaller barges and interconnecting them with flexible joints, in which case, each component could be built by conventional shipbuilding techniques in regular dry docks. In my opinion, it is having this concept as a single monolithic vessel that makes it difficult to believe.
The Liberty cargo ships of WWII were concrete ships. Building ships out of concrete are called ferro-cement hull construction so yes ships can be built of concrete. Arguably, ferro-cement ships are sometimes called iron or steel ships with the cement as a waterproof binder holding the iron rebar and scrap steel pieces together.
Note that ancient Chinese river boats were often coated with cement to ensure they were water tight and to improve their strength. One of the hypothesis of how 15th century China could build the large treasure ships reported was that they may have used the concrete methods common with river boats and had concrete structural components perhaps with tensile components such as wire, cables or even rope and silk. However, if that was the case, we should be able to find concrete skeletons of such ships as where they were burned was recorded in government records.
As someone with an architecture degree, I cannot believe how I just stumbled on this goldmine of a channel
Your roasts bring so much catharsis 😌☺️
Those coordinates at 2:58 are hilarious, they are so specific where resolution is 0.1nm, which is the same as the width of the average atom. **Very** specific location. (calculated as tan(0.000000000000001)*6378137)
Possibly nautical miles
@@ferranferran6955 They didn't include the "nm" in the image, they just have an absurdly large number of digits after the decimal points in their coordinates. They specified them out for _15_ digits of precision after the decimal; most people use 0 to 1 digit after the decimal, _maybe_ two or three if it needs a lot of precision.
@@ferranferran6955
There's giving people the benefit of doubt, and then there's whatever the hell mental gymnastics you're doing.
I swear every time something is just blatantly incorrect on its face some mook shows up and goes "Well maybe they meant _blah blah_ and that's why just maybe they are somehow correct." Raising their voice specifically to defend ignorance. It's weird.
There is no need for that level of decimal precision in any terrestrial measurements and the video producers are just slinging bullshit. It IS that simple.
@@coryzilligen790 If those are GPS coordinates, it's latitude and longitude, no?
Odd way of calculating that. 0.000000000000001 degrees is multiplied by 60 to get the distance in miles. Then by 1852 to get the distance in meters. In short the precision is of about 0.1 micrometer (0.11112 μm).
Hey, I came up with something like this once! For a post-apocaplyptic story! Floating city of the mega rich, world gets hit by nuclear war, floating city is taken over by a crew rebellion, now it's a mobile pirate fortress. But I think my design is better because it's got an actual runway. No helipad-fuckery.
Isn't that more-or-less the story of the videogame Brink?
@@massivepileup Haven't heard of it until now, but after checking a wikipedia page: A bit. Both have hi-tech floating structures where some shit went down.
More or less same. Floating cities aren't the most original thing ever (one existing in my steampunk fantasy setting), and they can even be "doable", but it would likely look a lot "uglier" and slimmer. The turtle shape would cause awful drag to even move on water. More so, at that size, the structure would be definitely "function over form", like the ISS is (it houses pretty much every essential lab equipment to operate low gravity studies, plus housing, and it still looks like a bunch of sticks and barrels).
A floating city would, at best, look like a flat hill in the middle of the ocean with roughly defined borders, lines and curves, and at worst look like a coastal industrial park with a messy bunch of towers and docks.
It would not be like this though. It would try to have low resistance and lots of lightweight material. Even the mega rich would try to be soooomewhat reasonable in that situation I think.
So. An aircraft carrier?
1:38 That part isn't really that far fetched. Lots of oil rigs are built like this. Hell they're building concrete sections for that roadway tunnel in Antwerp out at Zeebrugge where they'll flood the building area and float them up river. (Better than the followup shipyard idea.)
Probably the most believable part of this plan.
Fun fact, they did actually build ships out of concrete during WW2, because the steel was needed elsewhere, so they built tugs out of reinforced concrete.
My thought on the buildings with the helipads right in the center of the city - The first building with the circled H on the roof was intended to be a hospital. A different concept artist saw that later on without context, assumed it was a helipad, and put a helicopter on it. A third concept artist saw the building and helicopter without context, assumed it was a mistake that the building on the other side of the boat didn't have a helipad as well, and added a circled H to that building.
This kind of "telephone-esque" error has caused many deaths due to theological disputes. Scribal notes have changed history 😅
There's no reason to have a letter H on top of a hospital unless there's a helipad there. Also the building is far too small to be a hospital. It's a helipad and was always intended to be one, you put more thought into this than the clowns that came up with it
One thing that gets to me is, while they try to flaunt a 600,000 person capacity (which is ridiculous), what is there to really do on this boat? Say what you will about Cruise ships, but they manage to cram a ton of people into a relatively compact volume, and still have space for malls, casinos, bars, etc. I guess you can assume they might have entertainment somewhere inside the main structures, but just from the renders: it’s a ton of pools and like 2 tennis courts
60,000. Nonsensical nonetheless, but I'm afraid it's *slightly* less insane than what you wrote.
If they went for cruise-liner style cabins inside the main thing, yeah, they could probably fit 600k people, but that would require people below the waterline in those "rectangles zones" lol
@@5peciesunkn0wn 600k people, yeah maybe if they had the quality of life of slaves in the triangle trade, maybe
@@MyUsersDark Imperial Japanese Navy style rooms where you have enough room to lay down and juuuust enough room to stand up next to your bed, yeah. Probably. There's a lot of volume in there.
I never thought I'd encounter a ship design that would make conventional cruise ships seem like a (comparatively) good idea.
Building the ocean drydock would likely cost as much, or more, than the "ship" itself. Also, how would they ever get it to sail considering the massive drag that design would have?
On the bright side, between the crashing helicopters, golf carts falling off board, the consant flooding by ocean waves, and the ship inevitably sinking by virtue of being made of concrete, those ultrarich seeking shelter inside of it would not be around for long.
Comrade turtle boat.

those forward flipers would break off immediately after leaving drydock, also very good idea to make a boat that isn't aerodynamic in any way at all.
1 correction. Just a minor nitpick. Concrete is actually a useful ship building material. Mainly used in war ships. Its not good for the smaller ones, but as you get bigger and bigger, the amount of airspace in the hull more than makes up for the density of the concrete, resulting in a pretty sturdy, cheaper to build boat. Its not super widespread, as far as im aware, but yeah. Military ships are sometimes made at least partially of concrete.
Ships with significantly smaller and lighter hulls and multitudes better hydrodynamics still have engine rooms the size of cathedrals, yet this fever dream somehow manages to fit the power units on the underside of the ship neatly packaged with the propellers
It doesn't have propellers. Those are jet drives. The same style that just got the US navy to retire their entire line of LCSs.
