The canal blockage in 2021 was no accident. We can launch things & people into space but we can't get a ship unstuck for a week in the only bottleneck in that part of the world?🤔🤥
Thanks for this! I only knew about crushing the ice with the weight of the ship. I had no clue about the other methods, nor the combinations thereof. I appreciate you including some up and coming ships that are under construction.
Russia has had a need for ice breakers all along. That I know of, they only have a couple large ports that remain ice free all year. With the Black Sea being highly contested at this time, Russian shipping is under even more pressure.
Seriously, a little research before spouting some politically influenced bullshit. At least say something close to the truth. But the bigger problem is the other 30 idiots who gave it a thumbs up. No wonder the media can easily brainwash people
14:05 - all that we could here from "this guy was: "[the weight? - inaudible] _is over 110 thousand_ [metric] _tons and the width is over 50 meters"_ ("[...] более сто десять тысячи тон, и ширина более пяти десять метров"). Also, the on-screen caption reads "thickness of the bottom [of the hull] is greater than 4 metres - obviously, "structural thickness", not a "homogenous rolled steel", obviously.
The point/ purpose of these bow thrusters is also to suck the water from under the ice right in the front of the icebreaker (which is to be crushed in a moment) which creates area of lowered pressure ("under-" or "sub-pressure" - there's no right word for it in English), thus putting additional stress on the ice - which facilitates the break-up of it (lesser "support" from underneath).

Foating sea ice (Drift ice) is moved by wind and currents. When sections of of drift ice collide, they became pack ice, and they may form ridges that look almost like mountain ranges. They can be up to 15 meters (50 ft) thick (most of this is not visible, under the water). Icebreakers try to avoid hitting those ridges whenever possible. But sometimes the only option is to go through the ridge.
There should be information about OK-150 and OK-900(a) which were used in Soviet designs, not sure if there's anything easily accessible about newer reactors.
It's probably not practical and someone has surely already thought this idea but I wonder- what if you had a second hull for the front breaker end that could retract when not breaking ice or the opposite- it retracts when not in the open Sea, so you can reshape the front for optimal ice-breaking and open sea travel. Of course, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about beyond this video- so I'm just throwing poo at the wall :P
hearing that sound in real life is fascinating, it vibrates your entire chest like a drum. hever seen the huge russian one but Swedish and Finnish ones.
Im curious how much ice breakers aid in melting sea ice. Im assuming it's negligible compared to climate change, but i also wouldnt be suprised if that assumption could be wrong.
Most companies won't do it because of increase in crew cost (additional guard and better engineers), and it also doesn't really matter outside of northern sea route because other shipping routes are better suited for ships refueling on the way. Also mega-ships which have similar power need to a nuclear reactor might be going out of fashion. Emissions will likely be reduced until one of such ships is damaged due to some sort of military action, which will cause enough pushback from the public for nuclear powered ships to be prohibited entirely.
I have a similar concern with the rockets.they send through the atmosphere..thousands. doesn't it compromise the protection from the rays from space..?
Small amount just due to how large ice sheets are and that they would likely refreeze after the shup passes. One of the bigger issues scientists are worried about (atleast if we start doing more shipping through the arctic) is black carbon from diesel exhaust scattering onto large areas of glaciers, changing albedo of the ice, and making it melt faster.
@11:47 warning of globull warning. al gore said in 2009 that all arctic ice would be gone by 2013. fake video. trying to convince people there still is arctic ice.
This video/channel would benefit greatly from a more dynamic/professional narrator. The information's interesting but it's delivered extremely dead-pan.
im pretty sure that this is a well trained Ai model due to some random stressing on certain words and a lot of random breaks in speech (probably in a attempt to imitate taking a breath) or some human with the most monotone and dead pan voice i have ever heard
How do you know what I think is the way they break ice? I already know how an ice breaker "works", so your video title is a straight forward lie. 🤷🏻♂️
The US is reallly idle and i am solely disappointed them...they can't even play catch up... And they have the nerves to be concerned about Russia n China's ambitions in the Artic...
@@Jokr_Meta oh I got the joke, I just wanted to point that out. You know us Navy guys like to be technical not all of us scored a 10 on the ASVAB.🤪 Go Navy
There were no Ice breakers until a few hundred years ago. The ice caps were never broken since the beginning of time, now there are 1000's of ice breakers and the caps never rest. And we ask were their shrinking? 😒
That's exactly how I thought they break through ice..
Same 😂😂😂
That’s what I was about to say 😂😂 it’s literally how I think all people think ice breakers do it

@@winstonwolff True.
@@winstonwolff This is the first time I've thought of that. Holy cow. Excuse for over inflated prices
Shout out to the cameraman who stood down on the ice while the giant ship smashed it around him.
Cameraman never dies 😂
Smdh he could've at least helped the icebreaker 😡
🤔
Drone
The camera was on a stick, you can see the shadow.
You have no idea how I think ice breakers break the ice.
Sooooo.... Come here often?
The break ice exactly like I thought.
I just thought there was some new 2023-24 method.
Yea I like how much detail he went into though it's pretty informative @@LeeePowers
I already knew how they worked but this was a well produced video, well done!
I knew icebreakers had different hulls, but man you hit it out of the park with this highly explanative production!!!
9:35 I love how these are just big buildings on boats or in this case a flippin raised landing pad on the deck
so they don't strap a bunch of tiny gnomes with little saws to the front of the ship??? I've had this all wrong for years
😂😂😂
Very cool video!
ahaha icy wat u did there
Amazing Production My Man, Thx For Making This Highly Detailed Explanation Of Ice Breakers 🚢🚢🚢
Thank's to you guys braving that cold to give us this video. Great video, very informative 👍👏
Great video. Very informative and well put together. Thanks for the knowledge!
Fantastic explanation. Technical and straightforward.
Hi, for one, I’m extremely disappointed icebreakers don’t break ice by telling a joke.
This comment doesnt have enough upvotes
@ thank you, but it would just encourage me to make more bad jokes.
@@kevinmcdowell9074 I think the joke went over a lot of peoples heads. I definitely agree it should be right at the top.

They have 11 commercial ports in the east and 13 in the north. What are you talking about. This is basic knowledge on Wikipedia

I bet if you stop breaking the ice the ice wouldn't melt so fast up there. But that's just common sense, so no one will stop doing that.
literally everyone watching this thought this was how icebreakers work. still watched the whole thing. so. except for the stupid title, good video.
Problably ur mom don't know how icebreakers work, so the tittle is legit
Super informative
If I'm not mistaken Arktika even can warm up it's haul to melt ice.
The point/ purpose of these bow thrusters is also to suck the water from under the ice right in the front of the icebreaker (which is to be crushed in a moment) which creates area of lowered pressure ("under-" or "sub-pressure" - there's no right word for it in English), thus putting additional stress on the ice - which facilitates the break-up of it (lesser "support" from underneath).
I've never seen jet propulsion on a f*cking boat holy shit that was cool
This was quite interesting and very entertaining to me..
I don’t know why..
But thank you for this information ❤
Let's not forget the impact of shipping disasters, especially in near pristine condition.
Goes ahead and describes my exact understanding of how icebreakers work.
Well done mr. Shell

Nice! Very interesting
Very interesting. Top stuff 💪🏻
How thick are the hulls of those ships???
That's what I've always thought, because I grew up in a place where ice breakers operate.
Very good information covered in less time by this video...
I like how even short video about icebreakers demonizing Russians, they say - tell man he is a pig 100 times, on 101 he oink in response
They lift under the ice and the momentum of the ship does the rest and pushes through the fracture its made parting the ice.
Well made informative Video
When I read this title, I said "I know exactly how they break ice"
Is there any picture/videos of the nuclear reactor ? it's like a micro reactor ?
There should be information about OK-150 and OK-900(a) which were used in Soviet designs, not sure if there's anything easily accessible about newer reactors.
Reactor RITM
Great video, very informative and no stupid Al voice.
Quality video.
If you enjoy cold weather that would be a cool sightseeing voyage!
They must have huge air compressors.
This is exactly how I thought they break through
i wish i could use my knowledge of these machines as an Ice Breaker at the bar.
They should turn one of these monsters into a cruise ship. Imagine the views!
I thought the elves hopped off of the ship with sledge hammers...
I want a cruise ship with an icebreaker hull.
This is how I assumed they worked.
I thought all the ice was gone.
Excellent production, informative. But-- please replace the narrator. I can't do 16+ minutes of emotionless monotone.
Grow up
Idk where your from but 9.2 feet isn't as tall as my house my house has 8 foot ceilings

Про пеногенератор впервые слышу, очень интересно

Very cool
Next do a video on how toilet paper doesn’t work how you think it does. People will be shocked
What you don't know about how I think ice breakers break ice is greater than the displacement of your average ice breaker.
Austria has an ice breaker?
Precisely how i thought the break ice. You told me nothing new.
That ship is a maritime hero.
Korean ship featured!❤
Yes they do.
All other ice breakers try to avoid ice, the Russian tea kettles don’t care
You wonder why the ice is dissappearing up north .well think about what ice breakers do they break ice.and it melts faster.think about it
Im curious how much ice breakers aid in melting sea ice. Im assuming it's negligible compared to climate change, but i also wouldnt be suprised if that assumption could be wrong.
• however, they do •
15:38 What? Kazakhstan icebreaker? WTF?
Yep, it's called "tulpar" and apparently was made by Denmark and released on water in 2002
In fact they use the force of Yxfittan to break the ice.
nuclear is the way for shipping industry but requires a special crew we could reduce a lot of emissions just by going nuclear ships
Most companies won't do it because of increase in crew cost (additional guard and better engineers), and it also doesn't really matter outside of northern sea route because other shipping routes are better suited for ships refueling on the way.
Also mega-ships which have similar power need to a nuclear reactor might be going out of fashion.
Emissions will likely be reduced until one of such ships is damaged due to some sort of military action, which will cause enough pushback from the public for nuclear powered ships to be prohibited entirely.
They totally do though.
Ice breakers are sick tho
so they break the ice how exactly anyone would think they do?
The biggest ones don't break head on.
neat. I'm no environmentalist, but I can't help but wonder if breaking all this ice increases the rate of melt?
I can imagine if it's warm enough they could...but it doesn't look like it's getting any warmer there...
I have a similar concern with the rockets.they send through the atmosphere..thousands. doesn't it compromise the protection from the rays from space..?
Yes it increases the surface area so it melts easier but ice on water melting does not impact sea levels
Small amount just due to how large ice sheets are and that they would likely refreeze after the shup passes.
One of the bigger issues scientists are worried about (atleast if we start doing more shipping through the arctic) is black carbon from diesel exhaust scattering onto large areas of glaciers, changing albedo of the ice, and making it melt faster.
That is more dependent on the season
That is cool shit. You go RUSSIA
ppl hear here are ice breakers in the world, they break ice
Just wondering what russian ice breakers are copied from?
They are leaders. The rest of the world copies them.

I did not knwo that Brazil has ice ... ever.
It is to operate in Antarctica, which is nearby.
