It would be interesting if Adam could visit the Hyundai Shipyard in Korea, which is the biggest shipyard in the world. There he could contrast the way that ships are built because at Hyundai they have a factory that builds ship sections, which are the size of a four-story building and an inventory of these sections stored in the yard that are transported to the dry-dock to build ships. Typically it takes about 3 months for them to build a ship.
This is exactly why whenever I’ve been on cruises I asked permission to get a tour of the working areas. The engines (as a gear head) as INSANE. A piston the size of a mini cooper is wild. And powering everything flawlessly is a feat of pure engineering heaven.
@@loganyoung2408 Not always, it honestly depends on your luck for the day. I have taken some multi day cruises and made some acquaintances with maintenance people. I also tend to talk about engineering type stuff with them to prove I am not a threat. It has worked twice now. lol
you know, I'd probably have more fun on a mostly built cruise ship then in one that's completely finished. all that beautiful engineering is going to be covered up.
having sections of clear wall around the place would be nice, that way it looks finished but you still get to see bits of the engineering, would also make inspections easier for those parts
I would be interested in cruise ships if they offered a behind the scenes tour of the ship while out and show all of the engineering and how the system work and the efforts behind it. So much in a city that floats on the ocean
I think most people would have fun getting to see both like you're proposing. It would be cool to do both! But I'd prefer to tour an unfinished ship than a finished one in myself.
Every time I watch one of these cruise ship making videos, it takes me back to when I worked for a ship building and repair company in Tampa, FL. We didn't build any cruise ships, but we did build some incredible working ships.
Came to see this wondrous "Engine Room"........Still haven't seen the behemoth engines that propel this ship. Title should be "Everything Including the Bathroom Sink......Except for the Actual Engine" Come on Adam! lol Loved what you did show but come on man!
Don't know why they used that title, but an engine room during build is not very photogenic. Lots of scaffolding and the engines are probably covered with lots of plywood for protection anyway. Besides, even in service you can never see the engine in its entirity, from the tween deck platform you can look on the cylinder head and see the blowers (turbos ) and from the tanktop platform (engine room floor) the crank case and pumps feeding oil, fuel and water and other gubbins. But never the whole thing in one shot.
I would love a show consisting of Adam touring around different mega engineering projects. His awe and joy are wonderful, plus he asks intelligent questions of the engineers.
Wondering the same thing ... title saus Engine Room and we see everything but the engine room. Not saying the video wasn't great but why the clickbait BS when you have the chops and the content to just be honest?
I know where you're coming from. I absolute terms these things are a blight and an abomination (IMO). But that doesn't stop me from being irresistibly fascinated by their engineering and construction.
@@markallison4794Well said. As interesting an achievement as it is, it would be like vacationing in a small shopping mall. With a lot of overweight drunk people :)
8:37 when he tells them that he has a ruler tattooed onto his arm, the sheer joy and pleasure and entertainment they get from that is so hilariously wonderful lol, the pat on the back and smiling has such strong camaraderie lol. ^_^
I am absolutely loving this series of videos and can't wait to see it all finished (please don't leave us hanging on seeing those finished spaces! haha). Seeing everyone Adam talks to (And Adam himself) absolutely beaming from ear to ear most of the time they spend talking about the ship and their experiences with helping to put it together, the systems, the design, everything is a pleasure to watch. There's a real passion there from everyone involved and it's infectious.
I am an artist, and I had real fun today after finishing a large pencil drawing when I showed it to people who were blown away (yes, really). It is great to see that engineers and tradesmen like electricians and HVAC engineers can have the same kind of creative fun making things and then looking at and showing the partly finished or finished work to other people. It is a very different creative process to mine but it is certainly a creative process and I love the fact that people who do that very different work can enjoy it as much as I enjoy making art.
The heating/cooling reminds me of jet airplanes. All the heat in a jet is bled off the engines, and all the cooling is gather in ram air inlets under the lower fairing. How these two sources are divided and mixed is where all the temp requirements occur.
Ive never been on a cruiseship but have been in construction all my life and think a print of the ship blueprints would make an awesome piece to hang on the wall of my house
As curious, enthusiastic, and appreciative as Adam is about this whole project and industry, it warms my heart so much that he gets to be shown around and be part of it. He deserves it ❤
I'm a retired master pipefitter. I worked building the compressors that liquefy air. I loved doing this work. My ex wife explained to friends that I was an aerospace "plumber"... 😆
When the Queen Mary was towed to her retirement berth in Long Beach in the late 1960s, my Pop was keen to go tour it and tour it, we did! The eerie sight of that ship’s huge propeller in a type of immense indoor swimming pool belowdecks, was something i can see in my minds’ eye like it was yesterday. The entire ship was beautiful, and delightfully empty of tourists before it became the property of the Disney company. Fast forward some 30 odd years to 2010 when my husband and i decided to take to the high seas to enjoy Lewis Blacks’ Comedy Cruise onboard one of Royal Caribbeans’ gorgeous floating cities. It was 7 days and nights of the best time of our lives. ❤
the fact that Adam has a ruler tattooed on his wrist is just *so* Adam, lol. it's not gonna be a precise tool, but it's fun and it works well for when you don't need a super precise measurement lol
Just thinking of him saying the whole ship was 3d modelled makes my head explode thinking of just how big the file size must be. That'd be a dream job for me working on one Massive puzzle.
Not just that, every volumein that model represents a piece ov steel, a pipe, a piece of equipment for which there are properties logged (weight, strength, fluid systems they belong to, etc). On board they then attach maintenance schedules, spare parts remaining in storage, links to logistics software etc. I used to think we would never get rid of paper and hardcopies for all this, but actually we can.
You talking about food and being in a bad place to be doing it reminded me when I first became a pipefitter my first job was at a nuclear power plant. I took my breaks and ate lunch only a few feet away from where the core of the reactor was. Not a place you would even want to stand for even a min now. Did get back in there once while the plant was coming back up after a refuel because I worked security and they had to secure a door while RP did a survey. Only time I was there and in a short time you got a reading you could see on your dosimeter
At the beginning Adam is so Amazed at how big the LNG tanks are. Where as I am looking at them and going "That's It?" For as efficient as the cruise ship is supposed to be. Those tanks really don't seem that large for powering everything. I wonder what range they actually have on them.
LNG will probably be the primary fuel source, then taken to diesels to make the electric power to drive the hotel load and propulsion (on a vessel like this about 50-50 load spread). Big ships like that would do a week's rotation or possibly two. But I would not be surprised if the range of maximum time on LNG is only one week. For larger cruises there surely will be marine diesel tanks as well that can augnent the endurance should that be necessary.
This is interesting to come from watching a wooden sailing vessel to this to see the similarities and the difference in the challenges and design choices...
After watching this, what amazes me the most is that theres enough people who still choose to go on a cruise to justify the cost of building a new ship.
About the LNG, I don't know when they filmed this, but we already have that on some ships in Norway and there are more being build/modified for it. Had it for quite a while. So I would be careful with calling something: "the first". Although it's a first of that size
I hope this is a secret pilot for a new Adam savage engineering show. Yeah your doing your tested thing, but this was great, and would love to see a show where you look deep into mega engineering projects like this
At least partly CGI. I am tempted to guess that it is a composite where only the ship and possibly it's shadow is CGI, but all the telltale signs I know to look for have been made ambiguous by RUclips's data compression. I say "possibly it's shadow" because the shadow is distorted enough it could belong to quite a few different modern cruise ships to my eye.
problem with these complex infrastructure features is maintaining them, and vendor support, after a few years, like the LED walls that may work for a time, but when they inevitably fail, they end up as dead weight on the ship not being used
Big, and some small projects live or die by their scheduling. The art and skill of the schedullers is not to be underestimated. Workface management, the science of how many trades can fit in a given space envelope and the sequencing of those trades, often split up into stages is the real skill here once the designers have done their bit. I can only imagine the programme of works for one of these projects is a colossal beast and must require the highest level of competence and attention. Sending in a trade before the work space is ready for them can and does cause chaos, I've seen it too many times. Project controls is the official discipline description for the scheduling of works, and people that are good can command almost any salary for what they do. Arguably, project controls managers are more important that Project Managers in my humble opinion, and this from a Project Manager... lol
@@dougle03 cool…. you wouldn’t believe if I told you what tools we are using… although any implementation of oracle in our company so far is universally despised :)
Good idea :) The passengers could even be pre loaded into the units, then the units slid into place on the ship.... flatbed trucks could arrive at the passengers' homes with the cabin units on board, load the passengers and all their crap into the unit, and off to the port... it would reduce the amount the passengers have to stand and walk down to just a few meters....
It would be absolutely amazing if you could tour the NS Savanah, the first nuclear powered merchant ship. A lot of the enormous emissions and other pollution that cruiselines create could be mitigated with nuclear reactor based propulsion.
I wonder if this something where the initial design was one person or a team? Mind boggling the amount of knowledge and talents to actually make this happen.
Usually there is a designer that works with the cruise company to develop the concept. The whole ship revolves around a huge accommodation, restaurants, retail and entertainment. That is what makes the money come in so those are the most important features. Then the shipyard comes in to design a vessel under that to support all those spaces and check hydrostatics (how much the whole thing will weigh and how much displacement it needs), how much power it needs and where to store the energy for that, and provide a cost estimate. Then if all goes well, basic engineering will start, with subsequent detail engineering leading to production and build.
Would be a massive team, starting with finance and marketing, then risk management, hr, legal etal before even getting to engineering to create a business plan and proposal...
@@PRH123 Think you need to reorganise your priorities. It starts with ideas, customer feedback, a good architect, then a concept and outline spec. Only then is there enough for the suits to come in.
@@d.j.vanderschoot3717 well, ideas and customer feedback are marketing... and ideally it is they that should know the market potential, what customers want and what they are willing to pay... from that starting point the project would be initiated... That's the ideal of course, though the history of various manufacturers is littered with companies that went bankrupt because they developed and tried to sell products and systems that weren't quite what the market wanted... if you take airliner development as an example, they deeply drill down for years with their customers what their needs are before launching a project....
11:23 You've gotta love British engineering 😁 👍🏻 One example would be the American's couldn't get their head around the backwards steering on the Batmobile. And I'm pretty sure the Americans said "It can't be done" so the Brit's said "Hold my beer" 🍺 I'm proud to be British because of our engineering history. The industrial revolution started in the UK and the main who made it happen and person you need to thank is Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear did a show called "GREAT BRITON'S" and one of the people he did was Brunel. It's on RUclips and it's definitely worth a watch if you're into stuff like that but that's pretty much EVERYONE watching this video lol. I absolutely LOVE STEM subject's 😍 😁 👍🏻

How would I be able to contact you directly Adam? I have some Navy memorabilia I collected when I served to share with you.
Modular guest rooms was also a feature of Walt Disney World's Contemporary Resort construction in 1969 in Orlando FL
It would be interesting if Adam could visit the Hyundai Shipyard in Korea, which is the biggest shipyard in the world.

Maybe have a part 2 where we see the ENGINES!!!!!
We are super excited to be going on the cruise with Adam and hope we get to tour the ship.

Do they actually give you one? I’d have assumed they would think of it as a liability
@@loganyoung2408 Not OP but I imagine the engineers are quite proud of their baby, so they'll try to find a way
@@loganyoung2408 Not always, it honestly depends on your luck for the day. I have taken some multi day cruises and made some acquaintances with maintenance people. I also tend to talk about engineering type stuff with them to prove I am not a threat. It has worked twice now. lol
is it weird that i would prefer working in engineering of a cruse ship more than an actual cruse?
@@MichaelThe-Pyronah, same here!
you know, I'd probably have more fun on a mostly built cruise ship then in one that's completely finished. all that beautiful engineering is going to be covered up.
Honestly same, I spent pretty much all my on-ship time last summer reading

48 minute engine video WITHOUT AN ENGINE IN SIGHT (except on the modular cabin segment where we see a tug moving the modules that's engine powered.)

This whole series is so cool. Civil engineer here, totally geeking out on this. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Breathlessly blown away...this was amazing to this old sailor!

Grant would be so proud to see this kind of engineering content being put out. Great stuff
Amazing how much goes into a floating city. I’d imagine that spaceships in the future will need the same kind of thing.
I would never take a cruise, but Id love to take a tour of one. Really cool engineering to get a city to float and not make people sick.
I know where you're coming from. I absolute terms these things are a blight and an abomination (IMO). But that doesn't stop me from being irresistibly fascinated by their engineering and construction.
There is the Queen Mary if you don't mind a bit of history with your tour.

Adam is actually not really in the engine room that much in this video
Adam is so prefect in this type of environment. I'd love to see him go on an engineering tour of all the fascinating builds in this world.
This series has been so interesting and im learning so much more than I've ever thought! thanks Adam and crew!

I really think I'm going to have to go on either Sun or Sky Princess, they do look quite special.
I hop eAdam can return and tour these same spaces once they are completed. Especially the "back of house" spaces.
Absolutely amazing documentary with Adam Savage, abit disappointed with no Engine room tho, was still a brilliant and informative watch
Incredible!
Doing a tour like this would be amazingly interesting! Actually riding a cruise ship and NOT seeing all these technical elements? Not so much.
The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state in a natural gas pipeline.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state (liquefied), to about -260° Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage.
this is basically an old school discovery program just without all the 3d models they display over the audio. so interesting, love these videos.
For those who are curious,
2000m3 is 2,000,000L.
"The theatre can reconfigure itself." Now I'm imagining theatre seats on the end of Portal 2 style manipulator arms...
The sphere in the side of the ship looks like the back of a normal ship lol that really puts it into scale
Now all the ship's engineers are going to get rulers tattooed on their arms!
Excellent video
the fact that Adam has a ruler tattooed on his wrist is just *so* Adam, lol. it's not gonna be a precise tool, but it's fun and it works well for when you don't need a super precise measurement lol
How cool is that!??
Fhloston Paradise!
Just thinking of him saying the whole ship was 3d modelled makes my head explode thinking of just how big the file size must be. That'd be a dream job for me working on one Massive puzzle.
Not just that, every volumein that model represents a piece ov steel, a pipe, a piece of equipment for which there are properties logged (weight, strength, fluid systems they belong to, etc). On board they then attach maintenance schedules, spare parts remaining in storage, links to logistics software etc. I used to think we would never get rid of paper and hardcopies for all this, but actually we can.
I wonder how far this ship has already travelled if you were to add up all the distances taken by every part. Phenomenal
You talking about food and being in a bad place to be doing it reminded me when I first became a pipefitter my first job was at a nuclear power plant. I took my breaks and ate lunch only a few feet away from where the core of the reactor was. Not a place you would even want to stand for even a min now. Did get back in there once while the plant was coming back up after a refuel because I worked security and they had to secure a door while RP did a survey. Only time I was there and in a short time you got a reading you could see on your dosimeter

AWESOME episode!
Curious to ask where I missed the ship engine room tour - since the title was "Adam Savage Tours a Ship Engine Room"...
espectacular!
This is interesting to come from watching a wooden sailing vessel to this to see the similarities and the difference in the challenges and design choices...
Man, Adam’s “Tested” is damn near as informative as a PBS program…perhaps even more entertaining!
After watching this, what amazes me the most is that theres enough people who still choose to go on a cruise to justify the cost of building a new ship.
And I think loading my camper is a big job..... 😂
22:21 Good thing he had the helmet.

Clickbait title. Never even showed the engine room 😡
“The cabins are modular, they’re lifted up the side of the ship and rolled into place”
Me: ever seen “Cube”
Considering how this thing’s made of steel of various thicknesses, how do they keep WiFi and phone signals flowing into the areas people are working?
I hope this is a secret pilot for a new Adam savage engineering show. Yeah your doing your tested thing, but this was great, and would love to see a show where you look deep into mega engineering projects like this
0:30 incredible shot.

At least partly CGI. I am tempted to guess that it is a composite where only the ship and possibly it's shadow is CGI, but all the telltale signs I know to look for have been made ambiguous by RUclips's data compression.
I say "possibly it's shadow" because the shadow is distorted enough it could belong to quite a few different modern cruise ships to my eye.
Not big on the decadence aspect of it, but the technology and engineering of super large ships in general is just fascinating!
Well its the lust for decadence that pushes the technology in this case, puritanism are doing the opposite or is at best just a zero sum game.
@@andersandersen6295 No, none of this technology was invented for cruise ships. Its just being adapted for it.

The block built method has been used to build Navy carriers for a while.
Been around since WW2 building the Liberty and Victory ships. The fastest had about 7 days of slipway time between keel lay and launch.
now imagine if each modular cabin would double as a lifeboat
Good idea :) The passengers could even be pre loaded into the units, then the units slid into place on the ship.... flatbed trucks could arrive at the passengers' homes with the cabin units on board, load the passengers and all their crap into the unit, and off to the port... it would reduce the amount the passengers have to stand and walk down to just a few meters....
I wonder if that LNG tank has slosh baffles in it. 7:11
It does. We have installed ones that were a bit smaller and there were perforated bulkheads at intervals of roughly the diameter of the tank
the captain on this is probably more like the major of a small city
No way. I lived for years in Monfalcone building ships. My first ship was the Sun.

Usually there is a designer that works with the cruise company to develop the concept. The whole ship revolves around a huge accommodation, restaurants, retail and entertainment. That is what makes the money come in so those are the most important features. Then the shipyard comes in to design a vessel under that to support all those spaces and check hydrostatics (how much the whole thing will weigh and how much displacement it needs), how much power it needs and where to store the energy for that, and provide a cost estimate. Then if all goes well, basic engineering will start, with subsequent detail engineering leading to production and build.
Would be a massive team, starting with finance and marketing, then risk management, hr, legal etal before even getting to engineering to create a business plan and proposal...
@@PRH123 Think you need to reorganise your priorities. It starts with ideas, customer feedback, a good architect, then a concept and outline spec. Only then is there enough for the suits to come in.
@@d.j.vanderschoot3717 well, ideas and customer feedback are marketing... and ideally it is they that should know the market potential, what customers want and what they are willing to pay... from that starting point the project would be initiated...
That's the ideal of course, though the history of various manufacturers is littered with companies that went bankrupt because they developed and tried to sell products and systems that weren't quite what the market wanted... if you take airliner development as an example, they deeply drill down for years with their customers what their needs are before launching a project....
I'm starting to get worried how much mass they have above the water line.....
so where are the engines? didn't see anything other than some tanks.
Still searching engine room

I'm loving this series.
So glad you enjoyed it. This is the last episode of the series!
11:23 You've gotta love British engineering 😁 👍🏻
One example would be the American's couldn't get their head around the backwards steering on the Batmobile. And I'm pretty sure the Americans said "It can't be done" so the Brit's said "Hold my beer" 🍺
I'm proud to be British because of our engineering history. The industrial revolution started in the UK and the main who made it happen and person you need to thank is Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear did a show called "GREAT BRITON'S" and one of the people he did was Brunel.
It's on RUclips and it's definitely worth a watch if you're into stuff like that but that's pretty much EVERYONE watching this video lol.
I absolutely LOVE STEM subject's 😍 😁 👍🏻
Took to long to realize he was saying "no pillars" not "no pillows" lol
Great dwgs. Is there a printable model you can obtain?
