Now THAT is one of the best, if not THE best tornado intercept vehicle partially because it actually has went through a big tornado.
The Dominator has been in the strongest tornado ef5 and the tiv back out from it
@@nathanvorthong3473 I don’t think the dominator has gotten inside of an EF-5 as close as TIV-2 got into the smith center EF-4
@@nathanvorthong3473 If they have can you link the vid?
@@publicservicesinhawaii429 is there a video of the encounter between the TIV 2 and the EF-4? O.o
@@DefinitelyNotEmma yeah
Everybody talking about how it won't work like there isn't a video of the TIV2 inside a tornado, working exactly as intended
Yes, it has survived an EF4 tornado.
Casey visited my local community with that vehicle one time; had the opportunity to climb inside and gaze at how utterly strong and powerful it could be. Still have a personally-signed autograph in my home :)
one main issue i see with this is that the hydraulic spikes are attached to armor plating which seems to deflect with pressure. i would say if you decide to build a third version, i would recommend having the anchor system attached to the frame of the truck. this way you'll have more weight to drive the spikes deeper in to the earth and have less deflection on the armor/wind breaks. you could even just add a second set to the chassis of the vehicle along with the first set.
There wouldn't be any additional weight by mounting them to the chassis vs the armor plate since the armor plate and chassis are part of the same vehicle.
Those spike aren’t doing anything, it would be better to have some sort of hydraulic drill that burrows into the earth
@@alandouglas2789 facts
@@alandouglas2789 Sure they are....there preventing the vehicle from moving sideways or from to back.

Pretty amazing vehicle. Basically a bunker on wheels.
HiddenWen if
I'm seeing a lot of critics so i'm going to clear some things up.
First thing, these people are much smarter than you, so don't act like they don't know what they are doing.
Second this vehicle literally went inside a tornado, it is by far the best Tornado vehicle and the only one to be inside a substantial tornado.
Third, no the deploy time isn't an issue, it's much shorter than in the video and the people who operate the vehicles know tornadoes, they know how they act and move and aren't going to be caught off guard to the point where they can't deploy.
Four those spikes may seem like they won't do much but a few points. They were changed to be barbed and also they are stabilizing spikes, they are less worried about flying into the sky then drifting across the ground, they already have the skirts and weight so they don't go flying, but skidding around like it's on ice is a problem.
Five, i'm going to say it again, they know more than you and this vehicle has literally been inside a tornado
??? What you saying
Also how Sean casey died
I wonder what heppen if you go with the spikes on the ground
@@implayingrobloxandwht Sean Casey didn't die
@@AlphaGametauri then why is he missing
Officer: where’s the plate on the front of your car?
Him: let me show you
That is some HD b roll. Better than any of the a roll ive seen on YT
You took the time to make the video show us what you feel works! Good luck!
Have you try to rob a bank with this vehicle yet?
This is for storm chasing
I'd love to just go about my daily life with the TIV2 for a car. The reactions you'd get when you take up 2 parking spots at the grocery store, or when you force people to pull off to the side of the road when you drive through your neighborhood's narrow roads, or when you start it up at 6:30 a.m. to get to your 7:00 job every weekday morning, as well as the entire process of going through a drive-thru when it already has a long line, would make each day just a little brighter.
Jonathan Bishop and when someone crashes with you, you don't need to repair it. Maybe only replace lights
So basically you are just a bitter wrench and want to make everyone else around you miserable ?
Jonathan Bishop
You, despicable you... 😅
Issues with tiv2: Flaps begin to kinda float when spikes are digged to the ground. I know everyone noticed but that's kinda dangerous.
well, to some extent this machine already proved its resistance to strong wind, but I believe they where somehow lucky as the wind was coming from the back. If it was on the side, that would be another story.
in wet mud the spikes dig more instead of push
I feel like many would reminisce with this vehicle, it's really down to earth.
Would it not be safer to have like a screw pile on the hydraulics on the side for more hold and stability? Screw it into ground for more hold?
Sure would be but you dont need it. The weight of the car and the shape mitigate alot of the power of the wind. I would be more concerened about houses and other trucks slamming into me at 100-150 mph.
The problem with the spikes is they won't go in more then few inches in hard dirt maybe little more in soft dirt. What they need is hydraulic ramming effect if you ever used a electric jackhammer with a spike bit it will spike into concrete. They have them on skid steer's used for demoing concrete lot easier then using jack hammers these are hydraulic powered. You can see just lifts the vehicle up the more they drive the spike in the ground like a bottle jack. They don't want it to lift make a gap under it. Auger might be better in soft dirt if your on concrete or roadway spikes need to hammer in. Now local government might have a problem with you doing that but rather be alive then pay for damages to a road.
Put guns on it and it becomes a Mad Max vehicle
It’s for storm chasing but if it’s attack car that would be good
Perfect vehicle for the zombie apocalypse..
On a serious note, does the TIV use run flat tires , in case of damage caused by debris ?
That's not a Tornado intercept vehicle... that's the new Batmobile
This vehicle has obviously been successfully used in a strong tornado, but there are lots of factors that make this hard to do. First, tornadoes move erratically and it's hard to anticipate where one will be, and thus be able to get in the right location. Second, there has to be an unpaved road in the path where TIV2 can get in place. Third, there has to be enough time to get all this hardware in position.
Not sure if you're still on RUclips, but in case you are allow me to throw this out. You're right about everything except for the second part. Unlike TIV 1, TIV 2 was built for off-roading.
the doms are just cars with shells over them this is the best by far!
if you see one of these rolling down the road thats your signal to go the other way
i wish storm chaser come back
Same
Me too. Honestly though from what it sounds like, there might be a chance it does.
Smooth spikes don't appear to do much at ~6in deep, mostly prevent it from sliding. If wind gets under it's still going up. How about corkscrews directly under the frame like a dog tether?
I was thinking the same thing. Like a big auger mounted inside the vehicle, that deploys through a metal trap door in the floor. I guess the driveshaft and transfer case could get in the way.
They can go up to 3 feet I think, but more importantly it stops it from going left to right
@@GiggityGiggity_27 they can go to 42 in. or 3.5 ft deep
They changed the spikes to barbed a while ago
If I saw that thing coming down the street, I'd get worried.
For sure! We're in tornado alley anyway. That thing comes tooling through my neck of the woods, I'm going directly to the basement, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
Straight out of Mad Max
Never knew you guys had a TIV or a Dominator.
The hydro cylinders aren't meant for side load you need to make something that the cylinders push on so they don't bend
Awesome, what kind of mileage do it get and does it have a nickname?
Not sure if you're still on RUclips or not, but if you are, then to answer the nickname question, first part of the video title: you're looking right at it. :)
Why didn't Sean build also shields sliding down and covering the rear wheels ? Was it a technical issue ? Wind can rush through there, and the suction cup effect on the ground isn't complete, contrary to Dominators 1/2/3
There use to be a flap on the rear side but after 2011 it was removed and replaced with 2 more spikes
the exhaust comes out from the right flap, which is why they cant block it off, you can see that the left flap is slightly shorter than the right flap, thats because the exhaust
That would suck if during the tornado excitement he accidentally hits a button that rolls down the windows
Good thing that the windows can't be rolled down then.
I should note that this thing is, in addition to a tornado tank, also a Dutch oven. Besides not being able to roll the windows, it doesn't have air-conditioning either. The only way you're getting any kind of breeze in there is if you open the doors or the hatches. That or if you brought a portable AC.
Awesome vehicle. The only thing I'd probably do differently is the anchor bars. I'd make them a bit larger diameter and have them go further into the ground using a hydraulic or pneumatic hammer or similar type of action. You can't be to safe when dealing with tornados.
Yeah, my thought was to maybe have them a little closer to the ground once the panels are all lowered. You wanna dig in as FAR as possible.
I don't feel like the spikes are doing very much. And if they did would the piston/cylynder connection be enough to hold. I imagined the spikes were something more akin to the hydrolic tree extraction shovels.
The two spikes in the back do quite a bit, they go different directions, helping hold the vehicle in the ground, the 2 side spikes also kind of shoot different directions at a slight angle so yes, the spikes do a lot. They also help keep the vehicle from sliding, now spikes like on the Titus from the movie "Into The Storm" wouldn't do anything, they just go straight in the ground at no angle, all they would do is keep the vehicle from sliding.
@@justinthelightguy1936 I was mostly wondering about how they're connected to the vehicle. I may be imagining that the forces acting on the spike mechanisms are much greater but perhaps the weight, tires, and wind covering all the way to the ground is doing the most work. And, thus, like you say it's just to do that bit more to just keep it from sliding off of an embankment, which could be catastrophic I'd imagine.
Clearly 1 of these is better than 2 of Hank's "T.I.T.s"
Yeah. XD
I love how the spikes becomes stablizers and outriggers because it lifts up the Tiv 2
they don't lift the flaps on mud during a storm, and the spikes on the flaps go 3 feet so you're not getting lifted with 3 feet deep spikes
im not 100% sure how deep the rear spikes go though
are you doing replays?
Ah! The ole B-roll. :)
Amazing truck :)
Amazing !!!!
I would imagine the hydraulic cylinder and spike would need to be replaced after intercepting a tornado. I used to work at a place that fixed all Kinds of hydraulics and diesel trucks so I kinda have a little experience with knowing what it can take to bend them or break them
Same hydraulics have been in service for the last 10 years+, nothing wrong has happened YET.
Awesome!!!
Best swat vehicle ever
Its an tornado intercept vehicle not a swat one
@@sinkfire ik that, I’m saying if it was one, well, it’d be pretty damn good
Thinking about doing all that knowing that monster EF-4 Tornado was almost on you as the sky begin to turn black as the wedge is only few hundred feet away hoping it holds.
But the spikes also help to now be pushed
Tivs are so cool and I’m nine and I’ve always wanted to make one, but I don’t have a welding kit because I love storm chasing, but we only have a probe truck
It sounds awesome that you want to make something like the TIV! I just want to let you know that it costs a lot of money to build such a tank, not to mention the skills that you need to have in order to make it happen. Maybe you can start your journey small by learning how to weld and perhaps you could work on a used vehicle with your parents. It’d be a great learning opportunity for your future goals.
damn bro when i was 9 i could at least put a sentence together... your comment is all over the place. you dont have a welding kit because you love storm chasing? what does that mean

It's similar to the Destructor tank from Spellcross :))
There wasn’t a SINGLE cloud in the sky! So disappointing!
Hey, you never know when those tornados sneak up on you from nowhere!
I am a little surprised by its low visibility color. Wouldn't there be numerous reasons associated with safety and rescue which would favor a more easily seen color choice?
HappyQuails I think they chose a less reflective color for white balance; The green or red reflections from Safety Yellow or OSHA orange would be hell if it caught the camera's framing.
These pioneers may not realize it but I think they are paving the way for early vehicle designs for land travel on Mars. I don't know how strong the dust storms are there but this could be something that NASA, US Space Force and Space-X may want to take a look at.
The atmosphere on mars is so thin that apparently the storms there dont have any real strength to them. Radiation and the low gravity are bigger challenges for a colony there.
Aftersun 20XD6 you realise there’s little to atmosphere on mars right? So even the worst storms with 10 times the wind speeds we get here would feel like a gentle breeze at most
No, this vehicle is the forerunner for the post apocalyptic world that we are rapidly moving into.
I would die to be able to ride in this during an intercept!
me to
Your ears are going to start popping like being on an airplane btw.
TIV 2 model 3 or 4
16,600 lbs. Or 8.5 tons
Back broke so had to put new one in.
Axle broke when they first made it... LOL... Then Dominator 1 gets old and fails to deploy and brake
This is the home-made TIV-2 The head lights are different and the front has 2 hydrolic flaps that come down not one.
Dude that's the old update.
They had it refurbished.
What EF5 tornado attack this vehicle?
It would fling around
@@CrewmateComplex._. No, In a video it could withstand EF5 windspeeds (behind a jet engine)
@@GlassShardsgogo yes, but that was straight line winds. if it was 250 in updrafts, the TIV would definitely fly. there was also no debris, TIV definitely wouldn't be able to handle debris in that wind speed. Not criticizing the TIV, I've seen the intercept video, but it definitely wouldn't handle the winds of an actual 250 mph tornado.
Also n another fact as the airbag and the flaps help them because no wind can't go down the vehicle and can't lift the tiv
is it a 5.9 or a 6.7?
a 6.7
That Turret and the doors worry me. They seem kind of fragile...
Not sure if you're still on RUclips or not, but if you are, don't worry: TIV 1 and TIV 2 are anything but fragile. They've intercepted plenty of tornadoes, and the only thing that's ever been actually damaged were the weather instruments they used to have to assist in scientific research, as those things are definitely fragile. But as for the whole vehicle, turret, doors and all, as long as they don't end up in a tornado that's too strong, or end up in one when they need serious repairs, they're all good. :)
So... is this a one of a kind or can I buy one. Also how much are they worth?
+Sam Smith one of a kind
they are worth $35k
how far into the ground do the spikes go?
A few feet I think
40 inched, 3-4 feet
42 inches in the front, 28 inches in the back.
Alr.
Drop it down!
We're intercepting it!
The engine sounds like my friends Case MXM 140 tractor
its a 6 cylinder diesel..... probably a 6.7L cummins, because its a dodge
.
once you get over the 1 ton pickup (aka, ram 3500)..... the engines starts to get really industrial
its the same 6.7..... but more power, bigger exhaust, ETC for "heavy duty"
.
they are found in the ram 4500 and 5500s.... (aka. 1.5 ton trucks)
.
same idea as the ford F-550 and F--650 VS the normal F-150
@@kainhall It is a cummings engine! Good guess.
i wonder if this could have survied the El Reno tornado. imagine the footage in that one.
It can, the TIV2 Intercept was able to withstand wind-speeds of 200 miles per hour
@@tranquil4_ when
HueHanaejistla! Inc. It was on a mythbusters episode, I don’t remember which one
I don't think it could. The wind isn't really the issue here. Its the debris that they carry. That F5 in El Reno could throw tractors around like baseballs. Even the TIV 2 couldn't wistand a heavy impact like that.

4:28 what is that sound
The hydraulics
The hydraulic being extended out
To my knowledge it’s the spikes
The tif in into the storm the spikes just blast down
they did not call the vehicle tiv, it was the titus.
3:44 it's chad time.
Definitely like a saying “Oh my God, A tornado is coming!!!” In the Chieftain’s voice
7:00 rear wheels exposed, lots of slits.. plenty of areas where the wind can get in.
I noticed that as well. Not only that, but it leaves the rear tires vulnerable to flying debris.
stoneeh google tiv2 in tornado there’s a video out there with them in a tornado
Those tires are really thick. and it doesn't have to be a perfect seal with the ground. You can clearly see that it isn't anywhere around it. The idea isn't to be a sealed undercarriage area. It is just to stop the wind from getting in, and forcing it through small holes and slits forces it to slow down rendering it powerless to lift the 15,000 lb vehicle.
It is diesel powered
anyone here from twisted tiv 2 deployment sound?
Same Audio but edited
Yea
Here
How is that thing even road legal?
Good ole Cummins
hi
My neighbor just got a car just like this. The lattest thing from Ford Motor Co. They're just selling them like hotcakes here in Calif. They say it's the wave of the future. Of course nobody buys one because of the weather. Ridiculous! We don't have any! They're buying them because of road rage. Mean nasty cursed road rage. It's a regular demolition derby out there.
Its a good idea but way to slow when deploying the tornado would be faster
thats bc they showed the deployment from different angles, the normal time for deployment would be around a minute and a half.
@@GlassShardsgogo the regular deployment time is actually 25 seconds if they have a good driver
@@thing879 Thanks, I have watched too many TIV 2 videos, that's probably why i forgot the deployment time.
Why don't they simply build houses like this?
Fr
Probably for money reasons
"simply"
Money. The answer is money. Complexity too but mostly money.
It must be difficult, ugly, expensive and absolutely not effective.
What do the hydraulics do?
Keeps wind from getting underneath the truck
The flaps make the wind not go under the truck, if they went under they truck would get tossed up, but the spikes prevent like 95%+ of wind from getting under
Did you not just watch the video??
@@GiggityGiggity_27 The spikes only prevent the TIV from sliding. The flaps are the main reason the TIV survived an underrated EF3 tornado (should've been EF4). The spikes only prevented the vehicle from sliding.
@@_skribl yea which if it slides it’s getting flung. The tornado it survived had kid end ef4 winds I believe am I correct?
I hope you never have to deploy it for an emergency. Because your gonna be swept away before you can even lower the flaps. That’s a pretty long process. You should have 3 people operating all the mechanisms at the same time. Lower it while lowering flaps on top of digging into the ground all in one go with 3 people operating the switches at the same time.
With as homemade and slapped together as that looks, my guess is they don’t have a hydraulic pump with the capacity to deploy everything all at once.
@@TheUltimateSubscriber Yes. I think somehow he uses a single system to run all the different hydraulic components. I believe the next machine they had changed that.
I love watching all of these professional critics finally popping up in this video years later like they're professionals.
As if Brandon didnt already think through these things and invested on building it when his life depended on making sure it was build as good as he could.
@@thetab0179 ikr? these people are really idiots. They dont know WHAT they are talking about. They should do some research before saying stuff.

@MARKIBEAN Boomer
You should just have some kind of skirt that lowers down and then has something to create suction to suction it down to the ground. And use bullet proof glass instead of steel since the whole point is to be able to see the twisters
Not sure if you're still on RUclips or not, but in case you are, let me clear this up. TIV 1 and TIV 2 both have bulletproof windows. And obviously the steel is there to protect the rest of the vehicle, 'cause there's only so much glass can stand up to. Not sure why this wasn't obvious, but eh.
You can't "suction" to the ground since the ground is porous.
Can't suction a non smooth and non solid object
TIV2
I don't care which one is technically better I will always have the tiv over the dominator
The dominator is a good idea just don't seem as strong tiv is so much stronger
@@ethancrouch7253 It's really strong probably not as heavy has spikes also both lack the ability to push spikes in deep without lifting the vehicle. If they added hammering hydraulic it would be able to go in several feet.
The spikes only went maybe 2 inches in the ground.... why not more?
KeepitKute 2 inches? They go like 20-30 inches...
Space E it was an over exaggeration but it didn’t really appear deep into the ground when let down. Thanx for letting me know 😊
@@mzhall04 Just to build off what he said, at maximum, the front spikes dig 42 inches into the ground, while the rear spikes dig 28 inches. The only reason they didn't go as deep here is because this was just a piece of B-roll footage, meant to give you an idea of how this thing works when facing a tornado.
