Behind The Scenes of Tom Passing Out In A Centrifuge

- Tom was invited to have a go in a Royal Air Force centrifuge, and found out his G-Force tolerance wasn't what he had hoped!

G-Force, Jerk, and Passing Out In A Centrifuge: • G-force, jerk, and a g...
And the Starrship team talk about how to avoid G-LOC: • How to avoid G-LOC in ...
FAQs:
Isn't 3.6g a really low g-tolerance? *
Yep. Turns out I would not qualify to be a fighter pilot. The average range for g-tolerance is 4-6; no-one was expecting me to pass out. The centrifuge team do not deliberately try to G-LOC people! To be fair, though, I'd done a few earlier runs with only minor effects.
What g was the RAF person at the start pulling? *
That's Marcus, from the Starrship team, and he was successfully pulling 6.5g with the help of g-trousers: they plug into a compressed air source in the plane (and in the centrifuge) and act as a lower-body tourniquet to keep the blood up top. They are very effective.
Why did you shake and shudder when regaining consciousness? *
Those are called "myoclonic convulsions", which is a fancy medical term for "muscle jerks", and they're a common side effect of recovering from G-LOC.
What did it feel like? *
I don't remember it. I was doing the breathing maneuver, then everything was wobbly, then we were stopped!
Is this a sponsored video? *
No: the RAF and Starrship had no editorial control over this, and no money changed hands. Obviously, though, they gave me a spin in the centrifuge, and I'm collaborating with them over on their channel too!
THANKS TO:
The RAF Centre of Aviation Medicine, the Starrship team, and the folks at Qinetiq for making this happen.

Now there needs to be a TechDif project hosted by one of the other 3 and this needs to be Tom's intro phrase.
The Matt's in charge episode of the podcast, but instead of "dragged kicking and screaming, bagged and gound, it's Tom Scott" it's this
@@Haights This was Gary's intro phrase
The windows start-up sound killed me
See, you say that, but that's also the startup sound for Windows Vista...
Patrick, if he is, he needs a good doctor for when he gets a virus [groan]
The pros of running an outdated system: many, but subtle.
The cons: you can still throw in your old copy of zoombinis for the lulz.
(I think matt would have a field day with this thread, second only to tom himself)
It's also still the startup sound for windows 10, if you have that enabled.
It reminds me more of the Windows XP start-up sound.
God, that scene of you passing out will never not be unsettling...
knightshousegames
The clip of him regaining consciousness to the sound of a PC starting up, on the other hand, is brilliant.
I don't find it unsettling
@@cube_control please, if i may ask, what does unsettle you?
@@senza4591 i think as people we may have an instinctual reaction to another human lose consciousness and the weirdness probably overrides the knowledge that it was safe and there was no risk to Tom's health. Some people can resist the override because Tom was absolutely safe
@@senza4591 The complete loss of control over his body while in an environment that is unfamilliar and at least to me feels instinctually unsafe while strangers are watching. Plus him looking extremely uncomfortable before and severely ill during loosing conciousness. And imagine that on a close friend.
Just how cant people see how this would be uncomfortable to watch.
"Upon regaining cerebral blood flow, the G-LOC victim usually experiences *myoclonic convulsions (often called the ‘funky chicken’)* and often full amnesia of the event is experienced."

Your favourite reliable sorce of knowledge.
In a more medical context they can also be referred to as an "aura", which is how some (but not all) epileptic people know that a seizure is on the way.
› "Hey dude, I think I'm gonna have a seizure"
» "Why?"
› "I'm going into f u n k y c h i c k e n"
Huh. Good to know.
Best guess is the brain fills in the gaps, as it does with many visual interpretations, just to make sense of the experience. Many optical illusions work similarly where the brain recreates images for peripheral unclear spots or blind spots. In this case, it may have seemed continuous for the lost memory gaps.
"You're in other people's dreams having yours crushed." Matt became surprisingly philosophical for a moment there. I almost want to say he was wise. Almost.

I have trouble interpreting this one though, what would one mean by the "you're in other people's dreams"?

LoA JASH_ 2 I was watching this in the library rip
That looked bad, "harrowing" like Matt said. That kind of goes into black humor.
I was so touched when Matt expressed his extreme discomfort seeing his friend passed out! (to be fair, it looks harrowing even from the perspective of a stranger)
I've seen a lot of girls look like that 😉
Definitely not Jeffrey Epstein ?
@@innocentbeancreature2370 The girls expressed extreme discomfort looking at him
It freaked me out a little because he was a bit pale due to not much blood in his face so he looked dead
@@krakenmetzger jesus
Passing out is so weird. I remember one time I had an accident on my motorbike, I was doing some jumps and landed one poorly, hit my (helmeted) head on my handlebars as I fell down. I immediately picked the bike back up and drove back home thinking that's enough of that. I encountered my terrified parents on the way back as they've been out looking for me since I've been gone for almost 2 hours. (from my perspective I've been gone maybe 15 minutes)
My little bump on the handlebars left me lying unconscious right there in the field for more than an hour and I have absolutely no recollection of that, or the moment of "waking up". Human brains are weird.
Vicario Same here. I passed out while singing in the choir and I thought, it was 5 minutes, but apparently I missed one entire song and the whole sermon!
I jumped out of a hot shower to answer the phone one time and discovered myself passed out with the phone clutched to my chest.
Apparently I was coherent enough to say that whomever they wanted to talk to wasn't home, but I had no memory of the conversation whatsoever o.O
How had I not heard that losing consciousness messes with your perception of time before?
I once passed out trying to force a turd out. Fell off the toilet, slammed my head into the wall, and have no idea how long I was out.
Constipation is a hell of thing.
I'm quite adept at passing out due to various medical issues, but the only real time-screwy one for me was when I was getting ready for college one morning, (apparently) collapsed onto the bed, lay there for a few moments recovering, then finished getting dressed and went downstairs to find it was now 9am and I had been lying on the bed for over an hour.
I mean, after getting a few G’s, getting an F isn’t so bad, is it?

Oh. I’m from Canada, where our grades are E for excellent, G for great, S for satisfactory, and N for needs improvement, so your joke confused me for a bit.
The Pip Oh. I’m from another part of Canada, where we grade in percentages, and I don’t know why you’d do it any other way.
"instead of HUUUH, its more like HUuh," very scientific terminology there.
So the centrifuge is used to separate people from their dreams. Fitting.
I see what you did there.. (I'm smart, if not wise)
Human interference
Well played, sir
The way tom described passing out is the same way I remember having a seizure. One moment your here, the next moment your somewhere else. Its bonkers.
When I have a fit it can be very confusing. If I'm alone at home I sometimes wake up in a strange part of my flat which is different to where the fit happened (I discover that by finding the blood stain from biting my tongue). Occasionally, I'll be out and I'll have multiple seizures and I wake up after a few days in intensive care. When that happens I can't reliably form a memory of anything in the previous 6 to 12 weeks.
epilepsy gang
Or, as in my case: "Okay, gonna stand up from this couch right here aaaand why am I on the floor how did I get here"
You’re a person who can’t spell.
Precisely. I sometimes get seizures where my whole body goes on autopilot, but I have no recollection. The worst experience, one moment I was right by a pub, the very next step I was in the middle of a major street with a car honking and swerving to not hit me. That experience made me too scared to go walking through the city on my own for two years!
Love the automatic subtitles. "I know my eyes aren't good enough for restaurant selection".

Hi Emma and I’m tom
For the sake of clarity: that "got up too fast and now you have a head rush" thing is called "orthostatic hypotension", caused by your heart taking too long to adjust the strength of its pumps when you suddenly change positions relative to gravity. You're welcome, nerds :D
I get this when I sit up, let alone stand up. I don't think I'd last very long in the centrifuge. (j/k, i wouldn't even get to go near it, they probably have a pre-requisite medical form...)
I once passed out due to this.
It can also be caused chronically by the condition POTS, which is something that my fellow responders to this comment @Hell On Wheels and @Esti Obel may want to look into because passing out or getting this from sitting up is *problems.*
I’m you’re 666th sub
I hate that. Last year I was bedridden (well, not as in couldn't stand up, but as in "intense headache and throwing up when standing up") for like a week so my body got used to lying down. After that, when I got up I COULD NOT SEE. Like, I would turn on the lights and not see any change in lights. Those two-three second were always pretty scary.
*beep* Tom has successfully recovered from a system failure. Disk check passed with no errors.
Well Tom, now you know why those of us with epilepsy get annoyed when asked to describe what happened after waking up from a seizure. :)
Kara Harkins + I had no idea. Here, **gives virtual hug**
^
The thing is, though, most of my seizures happen at night, and the ones that don’t happen at night happen because of flashing lights or other crap. That second category - it’s sometimes continuous, but mostly what happens is I remember maybe to half an hour before the seizure, and then there’s a gap, and I’m waking up on the floor still slightly convulsing. The most I can figure at that point is that it happened, and not much else. After the seizure there’s basically ten minutes of me sitting there not being able to control myself, and trying to figure out wtf happened
Wait, what's it like?
Yep. "What happened during this seizure/Describe it/What happened before?/ What position were you in/… and seriously: "How long were you unconscious?" " Esp. if during status epilepticus, how the f*ck am I supposed to know *that*? I can't even articulate my name much less give a play-by-play.
Yes! Our daughter is stable now and hasn't had a seizure in years, but as a baby/toddler if she had a seizure and you moved her during it, she would be SO UPSET!! If you just left her in place, she would just carry on like nothing happened once the post ictal period was done. We would do that many times a day, and sometimes not moving her wasn't an option.
"it's down 'ooh', not back 'ooh'"
Matt's uncanny ability to describe relatively complex concepts in extremely simple words.
why use lot word when few word do trick?

To brandish eloquently your exquisite sense of style and emphatically engender an ambiance of innate class.
So basically to look like a ponce and annoy people.
I love how the title in the thumbnail leaves enough space between “passing” and “out” to fully feature Tom’s face though

hearing this sound out of nowhere while your computer is working in the background is scary
Were you watching this while you hadn't saved your essay?
To have your dreams crushed is bad enough, it must be worse to tell anyone they were crushed in Farnborough.
I love Matt's little ".....why?"
the brief closeup side-shot of Tom being secured into the 5-point harness highlights just how handsome Tom is.
Keet Randling It does tho
Right? *tiny swoon* xD
It made me finally realise whom he slightly resembles. James Charles (who I'm neutral on, but far from neutral on Tom)
At least I can get this "who does he look like" thought out of my way.
6:50
My fav part is the end. Tom wearing glasses, Matt gets it together, Tom takes off his glasses. Then the realisation that he did the entire piece to camera without being able to see the camera. This is a man who couldn't be bothered putting his contacts in. Love it!
"You're in other people's dreams, getting your dreams crushed."
Matt said it better than anyone. You're awesome, Tom!
"You are in other people's dreams, having yours crushed."
Brilliant.

Sounds like a scripture reference 😁
For those interested, the referenced quote is: "Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest mother******** in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied real hard for ten years. If my family was wiped out by Colombian drug dealers and I swore myself to revenge. If I got a fatal disease, had one year to live, and devoted it to wiping out street crime. If I just dropped out and devoted my life to being bad.
"Hiro used to feel this way, too, but then he ran into Raven. In a way, this was liberating. He no longer has to worry about being the baddest mother******** in the world. The position is taken."

Snow Crash. So many things wrong with that tome, but so many things *right*...
lets be honest, you got to fly with the red's - this was the payment
My grandfather and I were just talking about his dad, and I've just discovered that the centrifuge at Farnborough was built by my great granddad. So cool that there's a Tom Scott video on it!
So Tom used his own that face
from that video
as a thumbnail
RDSk explain
Too bad there's no support hotline for this one
The part where you have no memory is very intersting, it's like the cases where short term memory isn't successfully transfered / coded into long term memory, so that block of memory is gone
That also explains why he has no memory of the last few seconds of apparent consciousness - he wasn’t conscious when that time period should have been stored in his memory.
Out of curiosity, I looked up Centrifuge Way, and discovered there are two in the world: the other, in Oak Ridge TN, seems to have been something to do with the Manhattan Project. Mentioning this just in case there's a video idea in there for you, Tom.
There's a special type of centrifuge that seperate Uranium-238 (barely radioactive, useless for reactors or making bombs) and Uranium-235 (highly radioactive, useful for aforementioned purposes). They both come mixed together in nature with very low concentrations of U-235, so you need to 'enrich' it - basically remove a lot of the U-238 while keeping the same amount of U-235.
U-238 is slightly heavier than U-235, so if you turn Uranium into a gas (Uranium Hexafluride) and spin it really fast, the elements seperate out ever so slightly, and this is used to produce useful grades of Uranium.
Oak ridge is a wonderful place to visit! I did a week long renewable energy camp there between my 8th and 9th year of schooling, there's still a video of me as a child from years ago on their channel making a mini windmill from PVC pipes
Glad to hear the dulcet tone of Matt's voice
It's interesting that you felt like nothing had happened. All my experiences of passing out involve losing track of what's going on, so I remember the time I woke up and my English teacher was asking if I knew my name and the time I woke up and I was sitting in a dishwasher. In both cases, the things that had been going on felt like they were from a story that had gotten interrupted. "Oh, I wonder what happened that day I really needed to eat dinner. Turns out, that was today, and it's not ready yet."
you were sitting in a dishwasher??

"You're in other people's dreams having yours crushed." Incredible.
All the videos from Project Starrship have been really awesome. That thumbnail tho. Its THAT FACE™ v2.
Most youtubers would have probably titled the video something like “I almost DIED in an RAF centrifuge” or something like that so I’m glad tom didn’t overplay it
"Oh god, my screen is so dirty, what are these specks?! ... oh... they're pidgeons"

You are my all time favourite channel tbh. I just love your videos, and the feel they give me. Idk how to explain, but every update make my day a little better. And the content is also very unique and interesting in its own way. Just needed to say that, I guess.
the weird thing about passing out in g forces is thinking you just blinked
Matt seems like the best kind of friend in this video. Kudos.

This was comforting to watch in hospital with a collapsed lung at 30, I’m not allowed to bungee or scuba dive, I assume I also can’t pull any g’s, so yep, right there with you realising your body’s fallibility, Tom!
I think Tom should do more things that expose him to high G forces. Maybe something on rollercoaster engineering, space tourism, or breaking the land speed record
I feel like I need one of these videos for every one of Tom's. These are excellent. Thank you!
I'm a jiu jitsu player, and chokes are a huge part of our game. I've seen that look (and been the guy with that look) many times. It's amazing how long one *thinks* one can deal with blood loss to the brain. "I'll just power through", is the normal thought. However, properly done, one has about four seconds once blood is cut off from the brain. Usually folk only last two or three seconds, once a blood choke (cutting off the carotid and jugular veins/arteries) is secured. Seizures are not uncommon from a person returning from a knockout by punch, or choke. Though most simply wake up wondering why everyone is looking at them with concern in their eyes. Or they start swinging again.
Yikes! What about brain damage? You get the timing wrong just once, and your buddy mumbles for the rest of his life...
I think one of the best bits of the main video was all the comments about 'Blimey'.

No, there were more comments about the facial expression in the thumbnail.
the perfect introduction : hi ! im tom and i passed in a centrifuge
Roses are red,
I like my eyes.
Tom gets in a weird cage,
And temporarily dies.
Park bench would be an amazing Podcast, I find myself listening whilst I do other things
Including the Windows XP sound made my day :). I love computer jokes.
(That’s Windows Vista and up.)
Chris Warrick your right, I am getting old. XP and Vista are ages ago.
Arthur van strien they did it in The IT Crowd too
The Windows startup had me cracking up. :D Well done, Tom.
just a thought on the memory, maybe when the brain is low on oxygen recording whats going is no longer possible.
You are correct.
Duds
The brain does need to function in order to form memories.
I feel like there's a delay on forming memory so he really was conscious for the 4 breaths, even though he then "crashed" and lost the memory before it was saved.
That few seconds he's missing but probably was conscious after all is, I'd guess, the capacity of the short-term memory. The brain wasn't able to move it over to the long-term memory, due to being, well, out.
If you ever get knocked out for surgery, it’s the same thing. I had to get my ankle bolted back together and it left a continuous track in my memory. Went from the anesthesiologist saying “Let’s get this started” “Oh, is this where I count back from 10?” “You can try, but you won’t even get to 7.” (Thinking) “Bullshit, I can totally co-oh, this is recovery. That’s odd.”
We are not doing this on a regular. Tune it next week to find out why
what a happy doggo
What im hearing is that we need to give Tom cybernetics to turn him into a ace combat protagonist
I love your positivity, and honesty Tom, you're lucky to have such a good friend ❤
Reminds me of when I went along with a good friend of mine to his handball training in the evening. I had no sports shoes with me, because it was his spontaneous idea to bring me along to his training. Their coach said "Well if you're here, you might as well train with us".
Now I'm a very slim yet not at all sporty guy, and I could tell everyone except for their coach was secretly making fun of me because I was so slow since I was running with only slippery socks on, and also because I was extremely short of breath after sprinting up and down the gym for 15 minutes as a warm-up.
Next up came 7 meter penalty shot training. And I was determined to shut them up at least a bit by scoring a goal against their actual goal keeper. When it was my turn to throw, I packed a really firm grip of the ball, channelled all my inner anger and the little bit of hurt pride I owned, converted it into tremendous muscle tension, and threw as hard and fast yet accurate as I could. And while my arm was ripping forward, I was genuinely surprised by how strong my throw would certainly turn out to be from what I could tell and feel.
Next thing I remember is the sound of something heavy (me) hitting the floor really hard, and the only thing I see is the ball slowly rolling towards their goal keeper, who stops it with his foot. The people in line behind me are half-way laughing their asses off and half-way asking me if I'm alright and trying to help me up.
To this date, I still don't know if my upper body acceleration was actually so strong that my feet lost grip and that made me fall, or if the guy behind me was a d*ck and pulled my feet away in the moment I was throwing. But it's a really really weird thing to happen to you, when your memory goes from "I'm at this particular point in space" to "I'm somewhere utterly different" without you even recognizing the slightest amount of time has passed.
the "appropriate music dubbed over it" made me literally choke on my water - thanks for that!
Really like the sync-clap Tom is doing at the end. I tend to forget it and then end up having a difficult time syncing audio and video in post.
Finally! Finally something I can be happy about-even if Tom wanted to be an astronaut or fighter pilot, he couldn't!
My jealousy is quenched.
j/k of course, we're living vicariously through you :)
Passed out due to carbon monoxide poisoning when I was a kid, didn't realise until many years later when I was going over the memories, having learned more about how bodies work
I’m from Farnborough, I live less than 5 minutes from this place (Farnborough Airfield). My dad used to work there for the Navy and DERA and now my Mum’s company (Qinetiq, what was DERA) is developing/has developed the simulator tech for the replacement. And the centrifuge is literally in the middle of a housing estate now. There’s a Costco down the road and a Starbucks across the street 😂
So do you know if they will preserve the old centrefuge?
Sad to see the park bench go, but creativity leads where it leads. Carry on lads.
You might not remember all the breaths not because you passed out. You might have been awake, but what happened, is that due to sudden blood cutout your short-term memory become impaired. So your brain could not consolidate the memory about next breaths into long-term memory. Timing of couple lost seconds match this hypothesis.
I'm depressed that I'm old enough to get that reference.
You're not alone, although I like to console myself that many things get better as they age and I am just enough of an optimist to consider the advantages of including myself in that number.
You know, things like cheese…and other stuff…
OK, now I'm depressed as well, pass the cheese ;-)
What getting out of bed?
i faint/pass out relatively often and because its so normal to me i always forget how strange and upsetting it must look to others. watching tom pass out made me realise how strange losing conciousness looks from the outside
The lengths that Tom goes to to make videos cannot be praised enough!
Awesome content and well worth the wait! I'm glad you guys decided to take it easy
Before your time for both of you. Thanks for making be feel old :-}
36, can confirm, this is about the point where something tends to happen that tells you "nope, no ninja training for you". For me, slipping and getting my leg trapped down the side of a train, then later suffering not only cellulitis but also a DVT and pulmonary embolism as a result even though it was an injury that I walked off minutes later. For a mate, messing up stepping off a kiteboard at about 3mph and somehow destroying his ankle and needing a metal plate to rebuild it. Things just start breaking down...
That description of unconsciousness is exactly what it felt like when I got ran into by another skier when I was around 8 or 9. One moment I was up, the next I was on the ground with my mom yelling at the guy.
Considering the RAF pilot was doing 6.5G, the new Top Gun film seems slightly less realistic now
This is your best show. Fun to listen to whatever topic even if it's nothing serious.
The whole continuity of memory between passing out and coming back is fascinating. Can't say I've ever experienced that, but fascinating nonetheless.
so when we are leaving planet earth , matt and tom stay behind , tom because he cannot handle the G's and matt because he is the jerry :)
Thank god for this video. I thoroughly miss the quantity of Matt and Tom videos.

Best intro ever
Toms experience of G-lock perfectly explains how I feel after an epileptic seizure. Except for my muscles ache. And also what Automatism feels like.
One minor, pedantic, point. Myoclonic convulsions due to G-LOC are not a minor epileptic fit. It's a common misconception that seizures and epilepsy are the same thing, when they aren't. It is a specific neurological condition causing seizures. What you experienced was a myoclonic convulsion, due to the G-LOC.
tdc1991x
Good point. Not all epileptic fits involve seizures; some are “just” that the person loses consciousness, maybe even for as little as a couple of seconds.
Is that the same jerk that occurs when you are falling asleep?
cheekychappy1234 I'm not sure, I think it probably is. As far as I'm aware, that's a type of myoclonic jerk - essentially the same thing as when a muscle gets a random twitch for no reason. People who lose consciousness often get myoclonic jerking, which people often think is a type of seizure
If you're talking about the feeling of 'falling', that's when your body relaxes all your muscles and your brain thinks you are falling, so it wakes you up to deal with it.
Left over from the days when we used to sleep in trees as one theory goes.
Matt gets some primo lines in this.
Not fair, not fair, the AF guy had on an anti-G-Force suit! You did not. Not a fair comparison. he should have taken the suit off and made it a fair competition. 🤣
Good thing no one took your bag since the last time you filmed there.
The passing out description reminds me of anaesthesia. One moment they were fitting the mask over me, and with no seeming break, a nurse was asking if I was fully awake.
John Noakes was a total hero of my childhood. Nice reference.
richard scales
Whereas I, being both Norwegian and several years younger than you, Tom and Matt, only know about him from a mention on the Technical Difficulties podcast.
I never laughed so hard! Watching your face when you passed out was so funny. You could see it coming and you trying to fight it. So funny, it was like watching someone sneezing and not knowing when they'd sneeze.
All I could think of the whole video was Tom's video on electric cars when he got in a Tesla and went "Ohhh I'm not good with strong acceleration" and somehow he still thought it was a good idea
Woo, they are back! Still not back to normal, but I do like that we have something to tide my need for people speaking to each other on a park bench over for the time being.
for some reason i watched this again
good stuff
John Nokes was awesome. I remember him well.
An RAF flight instructor once told me its fun watching the students doing the 'funky chicken' when you turn hard enough to black them out...
Passing out in an RAF centrifuge, surprisingly, is not on my bucket list... Thanks for the video 😃😵😵

Lovely to see you guys again. :)
