You ever drive over a speedbump too fast and have that moment of quiet "oh shit" where you hope it didn't jar anything loose? Imagine being at the wheel if the speedbump blew up.
Great video, I wonder, the submarine le rubis during the second world war killed a lot of ship using mines, and we know precisely how many, but how did they know when they destroy a ship with their mines ? And how did they know the ship was destroyed by their mines ?
Maybe intelligence or monitoring of radio frquencies? If a enemy ship just blew and none of your of yours forces has claimed a hit then you know it was a mine
Almost all vessels sunk either during war or peace are listed as sunk and the location (general....very loose as to the actual location). This was to be done for various reasons, such as possible creation of a sailing danger, if sunk in shallows or if they drifted into a shallow before sinking, then at least there would be some info on a potential risk. Yet I think the major reason for reporting the lose of a ship was for business reasons, or more accurately for monetary reason, I.E. insurance pay off. If the ship is not listed as sunk then the insurance companies aren't going to pay the holder of the insurance policy (usually the operator and/or builder of the ship). Money make the world go round....money talks..........CASH SHOUTS!!! Take lit light all --KB
Sir, take a look at Minsystem 9, and Rockan from Bofors. Some of the systems we use in Sweden. When I served in the Coastal Artillery, we had minestations (protected and hidden controlcentrals) in ALL our harbors and importent seaways between some islands. They were in place even in peacetime! 2Lt Jansson (Ret.)
I know during the civil war some submarines had a way where you put on a water proof suit fixed to the submarine and you could lay mines for enemy ships to hit
RN Sailors used to hold up their running electric razors in an effort to spoof control of German guided bombs like the Fritz X. Mediterranean, '43 or '44?
Free floating mines are visible, so riflemen on board ships poke holes in the floatation chamber, causing them to sink. Occasionally, a lucky bullet detonates the mine, but that is not the goal. Anchored mines have their cables and chains cut by paravanes, making them bob up to the surface, where the riflemen can shoot them. Influence mines have to be detected and forced to detonate. Modern mines are supposed to have dissolving plugs that inert the mine after being immersed for a set time.
With some modern mines they can be set to deactivate themselves after a set amount of time, I think I've also heard of ones which can be remotely activated/deactivated. For most though they would need to be manually recovered and often they can't be since they're dropped fairly randomly in a designated area.
@@richardbell7678 They don't do it that way anymore. The only thing that does is send a live mine to move around freely on the bottom to eventually washup on some shore. Now we do active mine hunting and get pinpoint locations on them and send an EOD team down to neutralize it. They'll do minesweeping to ensure commercial shipping lanes are clear, but what they do when they get a hit is stop that operation and start commencing mine hunting operations. I served on the USS Enhance (MSO-437) in the Persian Gulf during Desert Shield in the late 1980's. I was an Operations Specialist and actively involved in it.
Limpet mines in Command and conquer tiberium sun dont' detonate instead they track the vehicle they are attached to allowing commanders to scout out enemy bases without ever using their own vehicles or troops, though the mine can be removed by a repair vehicle they still serve their function well.
The statement at 5:10 that a large ship passing over a pressure mine would increase the water pressure activating the firing circuit is incorrect. While it may seem counter intuitive, the opposite is true. A moving ship will cause a pressure DROP in coastal or shallow waters beneath the vessel. Water pressure at a given depth is directly related to that specific depth of water. The water pressure at any given point is directly related to the distance from the mine to the above surface of water. A large ship passing over the pressure mine will displace tons of water, in effect decreasing the distance between mine and the surface-resulting in a decrease in pressure of the water column- this pressure drop caused by the displacement of water above the mine due to the passing ship is detected by sensors-this pressure DROP or pressure differential between steady state or normal ambient pressure triggers a switch-closing the firing circuit connected to an internal Battery or charged capacitor bank. Initially time delay clocks or relays delay arming of the mine-hours or days until the device is positioned to its assigned depth and the ambient pressure for that particular mine registered as it’s set point.
The way both naval and land mines work is they're scattered over an area, do not inhibit the enemy in any meaningful way, and then decades later kill civilians from nations that were not fighting in the original war.
You have no idea of what you are taking about. As an old soldier, I can tell you that use of minefields to canalize enemy movements into kill zones is an old yet still effective technique

Its sad that just like land mines, while rarer these lingering relics can still kill and harm people
and not just people the occasion poor animal too
@@lechking941 Not really. Most contact mines that were produced still need to contact metal to detonate, not even mentioning magnetic mines.

My dad was in the Dutch navy and they had a ww2 era sea mine outside their barracks, years later they discovered it was still live
XD gez, that goes to show ya even if the mine never goes off its likly more than not alive. as a explosive mine planted for any reasion WILL be
It was fortunate that your dad does not have a significant magnetic field
@@nahuelleandroarroyo it was one of those tube-activated mines, so knocking it over would have set it off

absolutely amazing again, like this even better than your fake tanks.
Very effective weapon, not only for the damage caused, but for the denial of space too.
A limpet is a snail - fascinating fact! Question - did anyone else apart from Cone think that magnetic mines stuck to metal ships?
I did when I was a kid, think I saw something on loony tunes that gave me that impression.
I always thought of mine of relying on contact
NO
Learned a lot from these videos! Thanks for making them

Would love to see a Sails & Salvos on minesweepers now.
Great video! keep up the good work
Now make one on the submarines of the american civil war!
Would that include the unintentional submarines during the development of the ironclads?
@@MonkeyJedi99 why not!
Every time I hear about limpet mines, I recall the Don Knotts movie, "The Incredible Mr. Limpet".
Ironically he’s neither a snail nor a mine.

How the heck to all of the mines get cleared? The free floating ones especially? The ocean is so vast.
That's the sad part, they don't get all cleared. Ships occasionally hit mines from wars long ago

pressure drop only occurs as the hull passes. an only in very shallow water. before that there is a bow wave which is at high pressure.
