    I work for a small short line RR near chicago and have seen this happen to a tanker car we delivered to a industry. They hooked up the pump to draw out the liquid and forgot to open the vent at the top and left it running through the night. Next morning the tank car had imploded in on itself. No one got hurt and nothing else was damaged.

    • @logion567

  • @theboredengineer2612
    @theboredengineer2612 6 лет назад +16

    This is basically how the some of the earliest heat engines operated. They boiled water in a cylinder with a piston, let the steam condense, and the atmospheric pressure would press against the near-vacuum in the cylinder to drive the piston.

    • @KOZMOuvBORG
      @KOZMOuvBORG Год назад +2

      You're describing Newcomen's engine, after the piston has been pushed outward by steam, cold water is injected into the cylinder to bring it back.

    I left a gallon container of paint stripper in my driveway last week. It was close to halfway full I imagine. I went out the next evening to use the stripper, and discovered the can (it was the exact same type as the can in the beginning of this vidro) had caved in on itself. I was shocked. If anything, I thought it would've expanded. It was in the low 90's during the day, probably in the 70's at night, and it was out of direct sunlight. It immidiadiately brought me back to this episode from years back.

  • @scorpion2320

    That is how Titan imploded. About 8000 psi external sea water pressure and 14 psi inside pressure and temperature difference, composite material of sub couldn't resist the pressure difference. It should have been made by metal from Titanium or similar. Engineering and management catastrophe to lower the cost but charging $250k per person.

  • @oaktadopbok665
    @oaktadopbok665 6 лет назад +3

    The "steam condensing" has nothing to do with the collapse. The whole thing depends on the gases inside the can contracting. Atmospheric pressure does the crushing. It makes no difference how much the gases contract - the limiting factor is the difference between the pressure inside the can and the atmosperic pressure.

    • @PoeticMistakes
      @PoeticMistakes 4 года назад +1

      The gasses contracting is what causes there to be a difference in pressure

  • @TheThissucksalot
    @TheThissucksalot 8 лет назад

    this is actually pretty easy. A local trunking company carries liquids. One of the mechanics decided to borrow a tanker and truck and fill it full of water and trucked on out into the middle of nowhere to fill up a friends pool, (well water is not good for pools)
    They tossed the big hoses into the pool and went inside to get something to drink. Less than 15 minutes later they heard a horrible crunching sound. The tanker had crumpled in the middle as if two giants had pushed it in like an accordion. Turns out he forgot to open the vents on the tanker. The weight and force of the water caused an enormous vacuum and the tanker buckled.

      It's engineered to withstand that kind of pressure. Kind of like a submarine, but in reverse. A Submarine has to be designed to withstand the crushing pressure of the ocean, but a space craft has to be designed to hold in the atmospheric pressure of the environment inside keeping the passengers alive.

      Seen the aftermath on a much larger scale; 50,000 gallon vertical tank. Painters had "masked" a valve inlet with a loose cap, and forgot it afterward. Filled with milk, cap lifted to let pressure out, but when it was drained, the suction kept the cap pulled on tightly. Afterward, it looked like a beer can that had been crushed.

    • @quillmaurer6563
      @quillmaurer6563 5 лет назад

      I seem to recall they actually mentioned plugging that. They wanted to test if it could plausibly happen under any sort of worst-case-scenario, where everything goes wrong. In the end they could only get it to collapse when it had previously been damaged by a concrete block falling on it, another thing they viewed as a hypothetically plausible thing to have happened to a tanker car. In the end it did collapse, and without reverting to anything that couldn't hypothetically happen in real life, so the myth was deemed plausible but very unlikely.

      The sub have carbonfiber components so it's structure is nor as rigid as the things they used here as an example. Which means the whole sub shattered the moment it starts to implode.

    • @P.W.R.
      @P.W.R. Год назад

      Carbon fiber shatters, it doesn't buckle and bend like metal does. All it took for the Titan to implode was a fracture in the hull and... gone. The force of the pressure ripped it into pieces.
