The SPF is the largest thermal vacuum camber, but it's not the only facility of its kind. NASA also has the Space Environment Simulation Laboratory. This was used for thermal vacuum tests for e.g. Apollo, where a lunar module was placed in the chamber, and astronauts ran through an entire mission profile in it. ESA has the Large Space Simulator at ESTEC in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
The original scope of the testing facilities at Plum Brook Station were for Project Nerva (link below). Project involved using nuclear engines to power planes and space rockets. The project was eventually scraped, but the facilities still remain today. The B-2 facility is also rather interesting at the station, rocket engines could be tested in a vacuum while the engine would be running for a period of time. As stated in the video the B-2 facility has not be used consistently for a period of time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NERVA
@@ConcerningReality I havnt found any yet.. you would think there would be a ton because that's a big concern with space walks.. I found some of testing in a pool though.. completely opposite of vacuum
@@ctcboater Yes, I get that, but atmospheric pressure at sea level is a constant, has a set definition, which is why it has 6 sig figs. The actual pressure outside was likely not that.
🤞🏻 we’re getting great views right now compared to a few months ago... so it’s definitely working... just need some better reach on new content. Thanks for your support!!🙂
these vacuum facilities all on their way out, because ? maybe space is not what or all that we have been told. Firmament is solid man, it's holding back allot of water, for starters.

This channel is underrated.
Why thank you😉
cheers mate, always a pleasure
Cheers, Thanks for watching! ✌🏻
My brain autocorrected the title to, "World's Largest Vacuum Cleaner"
😂 another interesting video topic
Why wouldn't NASA have a youtube channel and put the experiments up? I want to see a dude in a space suit in the chamber at full vacuum strength.
It's "classified"

I wonder if they test there space suits in there.. would like to see a demonstration of space suit in vacuum conditions
I think they might! NASA has many other smaller scale vacuum chambers as well for that kind of testing ✌🏻

eduardo acosta no footage found astronauts wearing spec suits in vacuum chamber and training 🤔

Yep

There is a standing 10k challenge for someone to go into one of these with a space suite... Will never happen...ever
I love it when they give 6 significant digits to atmospheric pressure when typical pressure at sea level can vary as much as 10%.
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is actually a standard definition. It’s exactly 760 mmHg, 14.70 lb/in^2, 1013.25 millibars, or 101.325 kilopascals.
@@ConcerningReality In "reality" the pressure _outside_ the chamber varies considerably. What is significant is the absolute pressure (vacuum) inside.

Keep up the great work! You really do deserve more views. Come on RUclips algorithm... get with the times!

It was also used as part of the film set in the original Avengers movie
Oh, awesome! I didn’t know that✌🏻

Why don’t they test 0 g there ?
because it a vacuum chamber not some sci-fi gravity chamber
What are you dedicated to?
What do you mean? I make videos about engineering and other interesting things around the world
How many Peeps would it take to fill it?
at least 5
Would love to see an astronaut go in there...... Never will happen..i mean never
hmmm wonder how the suit would fair :P
For space suit tests, a smaller vacuum chamber is used.
NASA has a RUclips channel #NASA
Cannot see any spacesuits being tested
Space suits were not tested in the SPF, they used smaller chambers for that.
@@zounds010 Yeah but you never see them getting tested anyway.
@@thebruffy1077 It took me only minutes to find videos of space suit vacuum tests.

Nice video, the only issue I have with it is the way you overemphasize your p's and b's. Highly annoying :(
