Nickipedia Live Stage Show: www.NickipediaLive.com
As a kid I LOVED when my parents took me to a store that had foam gliders. We would always play with them until the wings broke off and could not be repaired with duct tape. However, I always wondered how far a foam glider would fly if it were thrown off of an incredibly high platform… like a mountain!?!@!
We hiked up to the tallest point we had access too (Mt. Allen in the Santa Monica Mountains) and threw our glider out into the wind. The result was MIND BLOWING!!! I’m so proud of our little foam glider/GoPro set up. The footage is so beautiful.
And the reason all of this is even possible is because of the wing of the plane. The wing has a special shape that allows for “lift”. Lift is generated when there is high pressure below the wing and low pressure above it. The explanation for how this happens is actually very advanced.

Let me know down below if the glider exceeded your expectation or how we could have gotten it to go further!
Nick Uhas it was awesome
Nick Uhas just saying that act was pretty fire
Nick Uhas this the same guy from AGT?
José Vélez yes
José Vélez yeah I'm watching agt right now
Raise your hand if you agree that duct tape fixes everything
JER0ME JUST1N 💁♂️
If you cant fix with duct tape then you didn't use enough duct tape.
JER0ME JUST1N yes even those pesky black holes
Expansion of universe??
It can fix the plane but not the weight
4:50 Thank me later
杨伟讯 thx
Thks
Why
Thx you saved 4 min of my life
Tnx bro haha
I've tried that many times in my life and I never get tired of it.
Joyplanes RC who would get tired of it?
You took the words just right out of my mouth

3:21 For some reason when he switched to the footage of the plane I thought it was him jumping off the edge.
me too
Me to
So cool imagine throwing it off from Mount Everest
Kevin Naderi
Probably bee too windy
Imagine having to find it
It would just drop from the top as there is almost no air up there
Elia Caserta Engström they would die
They would die dumb dumb
how did you find it? you should have strapped a GPS tracker on it.
We totally could have, perhaps next time!
You have also followed with a drone
I like how you didnt put it to 10 minutes
WHO ELSE JUST WATCHED HIM ON AMERICAS GOT TALENT! CONGRATS ON 4 YES!!

I love how when he tries to be funny no one laughs and it just ends up being awkward
Easier way to get drone footage
Tape a GoPro to a foam plane
ReVeRt Fire you can’t really call it drone footage anymore can you
5:28 Legend says it's still flying ;)
The thing I love about Nick is how he titles his videos, they seem like clickbait, but they are as genuine as they come.
I really can't imagine how you were able to find it and retrieve it!
Well, it was lift, but a very specific kind. It’s not Newtonian lift (high pressure below the wing) or Bernoullian lift (low pressure above the wing). You threw it in a special way, allowing for a phenomena called ridge lift to occur. The flight path followed a ridge line. On each side of the ridge there is wind blowing in opposite directions. When the winds hit the mountain they both flow up, pushing up on the glider. The other two kinds of lift still occurred and were necessary, but it was this special help that allowed the glider to fly so far.
Also, can you, like, upload the whole video of the flight? i think it would be cool to see, all in one video without breaks
hey! yes, I will do that ... it is really cool
Nick Uhas awesome!!
0:52 when your phones dead at 3:00 am and your feeling the wall for outlets
You killed it on AGT!!! Literally screamed when I saw you
thank you so so much!
I'm upset I didn't know of you before AGT. Seriously I love channels like this, and yours especially. You're so enthusiastic about science, and it doesn't matter the subject. Not only have you earned yourself a sub, I REALLY hope you go far in AGT just due to how unique your audition is! Thank you for... Existing? I don't know... I should stop talking now...
Saw you on americas got talent and fell in love!!! You're so entertaining! :)
Totally subscribed.
thank you : )
Nick Uhas thank you for responding!! It means so much :) I hope you make it very far.
Hey nick!! You did so amazing on Americans got talent!! I haven't really been watching your videos for too long but since I started watching, I've learned a bunch and I am constantly entertained. I really hope the judges see that :)❤️
Americas Got Talent brought me here. Who else!!!? way to go man!!!
much appreciated!
Nick Uhas Hope you make it to the finals!!!!!
This is when you know u have completed childhood, every single one of its corners
met this guy through smosh lab but he really has some cool stuff .. really amazed as well as enlightened hope u make more vedios which makes people try new things.. other wise who will even think of this ..tks a lot
Thank you so much Jacob! Super appreciate that... and I will admit, I love making these videos to get people interested in science topics!
Jacob Joy yo
I loved them too they were produced 50 years ago too. We figured all this out when we were 8 yrs old. Great job w/ the gopro.
NICK YOU AUDITIONED FOR AMERICA'S GOT TALENT!? YOU WERE AWESOME!
Lilyona I know right!!
Awesome..."To boldly go where no foam glider has gone before"...Mt. Whitney launch!!! Or...a Santa Anna Winds assisted launch; smile now!
The first "flavor" for instant noodles was chicken ramen... Just wanted to share some stuff from google XD
always appreciated the random knowledge!
Nick Uhas read the comment section please (most of them)
Would have just scrolled past this, IF I WASNT EATING CHICKEN RAMAN RIGHT NOW!!
Watches America's got talent once and i see my favorite scientist since Bill Nye! Congratulations Nick!
Congrats on AGT
What Did he do?
@Bacondude0000 Eggs he made a balloon that when u talk your voice get deeper and he when Howie spill the warter to the proxide and is big smoke
I have always loved science, and I love your videos! I literally found your channel about 2 hours ago and have been watching your videos since then. I subscribed right away. You're Awesome! KEEP SCIENCE ALIVE!
Glad to know I can learn more about science here than any of my previous schooling
I'll be your teacher!
Nick Schaefer T R U E!!!
REALLY?!!...then all'y'all went to a crap school, or didn't pay attention...somethin'...
The explanation of lift he gave is a common misconception. If it's true, then it doesn't explain how paper airplanes fly. My memory might fail me, but I believe that lift is actually generated by redirecting air downward, thus propelling the plane upward. You can fact check me with a paper NASA wrote entitled "Incorrect Lift Theory"
TheNightOwl082 Yep. Newtonian vs Bernoulli
not only is this guy super cute, he's funny & makes science fun. Best wishes on AGT, too. Excited to see what's next.
Can you tell me how did you manage to lose a shoe?
lol, we found the shoe... the brush pulled it out of my bag
Nick Uhas ohhh. i thought it fell off of your foot.
I have watching you really early on... i have always loved your channel...
so I was just casually watching America's got Talent and saw you..
"OMG ITS NICK ITS NICK!"
I thought you was going to explain thermals in this video too. I think that's the reason why the foam plane stayed up as it hit some thermal columns (rising air formed on the ground from the warming of the surface by sunlight) generating thermal lift. Like how birds and manned gliders use thermals to soar and fly effortlessly. I guess you could do test flights during the day and night to see if this was indeed the case.
I totally agree with this... almost sure that's what happened because you can see in the video it going up at first... then I think the "sea breeze" carries it to the right.
Thermal or orographic (ridge) lift. Probably both, actually.
That was more likely ridge lift. Wind pushing up the mountain causing the lift. Glider guys depend on that regularly.
yep I downvoted because he is teaching the Kids wrong.. the power of Lift is definitely the thermals.
That was very surprising see you on AGT, but I loved the act. I'm so used to seeing you and Smosh Labs. Keep up the good work!
hey nick I just wanted to say this was a really interesting video as all ways and I really appreciate you making them because I love science ☺
that's so great to hear!!! We have many new cool ones on the way!!!
We are going full loop here aren't we? 1900s "let's throw a glider off a big hill"
2000s "let's throw a glider off of a bigger hill"
Loved your AGT audition!😂 Also, are there still gonna be Smosh Labs coming soon?😁💕
Nick, I respect how hard you work. Keep being ambitious. I can tell you put in time for your channel. Keep at it your videos are amazing.
i bet u needed a find my GoPro App before this video
would have been awesome to have! I still have a HERO 3... perhaps time to upgrade
Man when I saw you on Americas got talent and you said you were a science teacher, I am over here saying this guys is going to make the judges eat there words and you did! You are so cool and your americas got talent audition was phenomenal never saw science like that :D
Where do you get those planes????!!
Baschie Baschieba flex tape
Walmart
@@rogeliocorona6837 and at the internet? I am living at the other side of the pool, we don't have Walmart.
Try waltmart.com see if they ship international, if not ebay. I see them all the time at waltmart do. I bought one there aswell.
Hobby lobby
Random fact: Dentists tell you to bite down right? You aren't biting down. Only the bottom part of your jaw moves... You are actually biting up! 😂 thanks RUclips for this fact XD
At least if you lose it you'll have at 500 years to find it before it decomposes. 🤔
Stop flexin smartass lmao
Funny
F
I almost died in laughter 0:50
Nick uhas hi I am from India and I love your videos and u are amazing keep up the good work😘😘😘😘
Awesome! I've been to New Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra
well that is great I hope u had a good time
Long time for me to see a RUclipsr that doesnt tryhard to get 10 mins
9:47 good job my friend definitly a subscriber more
i went to a point at 5700ft approx today.,., remembering you.,., but didnt had that glider
In '73 I was atop the Eiffel Tower and had a large stiff piece of white paper which I folded into a glider paper airplane. Needless to say, it glided a very long way until it was lost to sight, Fun!
Anyone saw him at agt?
yes i did
just so so..
What's a act?
no
who tf watches dat bs
6:06 awesome....
What if it landed on a human skeleton...im high af
With some packing tape applied properly first, you could have made the plane nearly indestructible for the way you were using it, and not have had to repair it prior to your successful flight, which would have saved you some time. Packing tape dramatically contributes to the tensile strength of the structure, in this case, the styrofoam glider, thus preventing most serious damage from occurring. FYI
Thank you for posting this video! Please have an excellent and awesome day! 🙂
who he from americas got talent?
*_Speech 100_*
Who he from comment awards
I'm from England so Britans got talent
Can I have one
I'm so confused. Why doesn't Nick have loads of subscribers? He's great!
Love your stuff man.,., its awesome.,.,.,
After it went that far, I would have been like "F...the gopro" and left in the opposite direction. Props to the camera guys, they probably had the worse of the hike with all that equipment.
that was lit 👌🏻👌🏻
Just to add a bit more detail to the explanation of the flight. The reason it maintained height initially was because the updraft (slope lift) of the air being forced up the mountains created enough lift to compesate for the drag therefore maintaining height. Eventually it ventured out of the slope lift and the drag took over causing the gradual decent. If you launched into the air on the opposite side of the mountain (the lee) it would have dropped like a brick due to the downdraught there.
That's epic now I want to try that but I haven't really seen a foam gilders anywhere but if I do I want to do this
riiight! I literally saw this foam glider in a 99 cent store, bought it, put it in my closet, and then 6 months later came up with this video idea... they're usually around during the summer
As a general rule,all my RC planes crash on their maiden flight. After which,every plane flies great. They fly best after cracking up,thats just a rule now.I expect my planes to crash now. I have one that has never crashed again.
why were you on Agt?
draven crain why not haha
Because it's awesome! : )
Nick Uhas what did you do on agt
Congrats on making it to America's Got Talent! You were a different face to see tonight.
first
Not one of THESE comments.🙄😂
We’re you dropped?
giant asian sticker Mr beast fan
It was amazing! Yes, the glider definitely exceeded my expectations!
Can you please make a video explaining how rattlebacks work?
Actually lift is derived from flow turning at the leading edge. The popular equal transit theory has been continuously disproven, despite it being shown in many school textbooks.
When the cam is in the air it was so beautiful
When I was a kid, I had to make my own paper airplane, I never had a foam plane.
He promised an airplane off a mountain and he delivered
That was freakin AWESOME! I guess I need more duct tape to get my planes to fly better ... Great video. Subbed.
Congratulations on making it past the first round of Americas Got Talent
NICK, YOU DID SO GOOD ON AMERICAS GOT TALENT... GOOD JOB AND I HOPE YOU WIN
Am I the only one shocked you found it?! Awesome job!
When I was a kid i and my friends used to do this with paper airplanes.
We didn't have those when I was a kid! We had to tie feathers to a Rock when I grew up in the 60's. Also in case you haven't heard this one. I used to walk 20 miles to school, and 30 miles back, all uphill. But honestly, no we didn't have those in the 60's and 70s. Now imagine how my feathered Rock would have done with the GoPro.
the way this guy speaks messes up my close captions up .....it kills me bro😂😂
I learned more from this video than from my science class last year. Love these videos and keep up the good work!!
YOU WERE ON AGT (Americas Got Talent) but I first saw you on Smosh Labs and when I saw you on AGT I freaked the F**k out
Oh and The Today Show
Twenty Øne Addict Same
Twenty Øne Addict Also, I FREAKING LOVE TWENTY ØNE PILØTS!! |-/
Where did you buy that plane? pls answer fast!
You're awesome dude! I'm voting for you on america's got talent. SURPRISE ME AGAIN!
As the saying goes, WAY COOL Dude. Especially your T-shirt! Go Bucks! OH lol
4:52 BROOOOOOOO that is so cool man that was a really long flight then the last one bro that thing is doing to good
For people who just want to watch him throw it 4:49
DUDE ! imagine throwing it off the himalayen mountain
Congratulations on being on America's Got Talent!!! I really love your videos and I always learn something new when a video comes out! Hope you go very far and win AGT!!!
Dude...watching you on America's Got Talent! Awesome! Gonna check out your videos.
much appreciated! : )
I know it's hard to determine but the center of mass has to be at the same spot as the center of lift and balance so it flies in a straight line
this guy is pretty smart. even if he doesn't make it very far in AGT at least he'll be promoting his youtube channel.
I used to work at a hotel by the beach, one day someone threw one of these off a balcony and it just flew from one end of the hotel to the other, back and forth, I must have watched for 5 minutes before I had to go back to work. Must have been caught in an air pocket.
Funny thing is my parents bought me one waaaaay back, I just saw one at the store the other day, then I get on youtube and see this! Time to buy one again
Hey nick, I just saw you on AGT and you did a great job. I can't wait for more.
Thank you John!!!
Can you store onions and potatoes together?
NO PLASTIC BAGS: Don't ever store onions in plastic bags. That will accelerate sprouting and spoilage because of the lack of air circulation. NO POTATOES NEARBY: Potatoes and onions should not be stored together. They give off gases that will accelerate spoilage of each other.
If you would have lost the glider, then that would be littering in a state park! Glad you got it back. By the way, I run up that trail and then down to Sycamore Canyon and back, don't wimp out.
4:51 man this airplane is a good one
Lol you posted this video on my birthday, just saw you’re video flying over, so i clicked, really good channel, it was fun to watch (and i’m a little late ;) )
'This' wing isn't designed to generate lift. All wings are designed to generate lift. That's what a wing is.
Nick is the best thing to ever walk the earth
Truly you are the best you tuber ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
