They actually did do a test of sort, by driving it on U.S. soil to the port where it was supposed to ship out from. It proved to do quite poorly even on wet asphalt and was found to be underpowered, but they decided to send it out anyway.

Probably more content sensationalism than truth. I work with methanol in the lab all the time. I can’t see how you could mistakenly take it or fail to immediately notice if your drink has been spiked with it. There is no alcohol allowed down there, and between the boredom and isolation, depression can be a problem for some folks. As can the ability to rationalize a bad idea… He may have thought he was taking a small enough dose to just enjoy a weak adult beverage. May have even been doing it a a few times without any severe trouble, yet. Some moonshine have had high levels of methanol but folks could initially consume it without dying or requiring hospitalization, until suddenly they do. The harmful chemicals produced from metabolizing methanol, like formaldehyde and formic acid can bite you hard and fast when they hit that very narrow tipping point from very small amounts per volume.
@williamstearns7490 Funnily enough, the treatment for methanol poisoning is ethanol. It outcompetes methanol for the enzymes that break it down, so the kidneys just excrete the methanol without metabolizing it to formaldehyde and formic acid. Pretty neat, you get drunk and get better.
@Ripplenator I think he was thinking about the principle of weight dispersion (and just forgot about track systems) and was thinking abo- yeah idfk dude I'm tryna play devils advocate and failing miserably lol, this was a massive and very odd oversight
You'd think they'd of just made new tires for the snow cruiser instead of abandoning it. Diesel engines can run 5-6x longer then a gasoline engine. They're very durable. She'd probably still be usable today if they hadn't abandoned her.
I believe the tires were a one of a kind special production but it seems like they sure could have run a second production with tread! I agree about the diesel engine, it would still be running today.
His "vanishing" was planned and he returned to the people he actually worked for. That's the most popular theory I've ever read in regards to Disch and it makes sense. He honestly could have literally just disappeared, it's possible, but I think there's way more to it than we'll ever know.
I love hearing all the theories of Antarctica. I believe there are so many answers to mysteries to be found there. Antarctica is endlessly fascinating.
What is even more interesting are the no-fly zones there , a friend who did a few "milk runs" to re-supply the bases there was told NOT to waver from his flight path , when he asked why he was told he would be intercepted ,when he asked by who ? the answer was just stick to your orders and follow the flight path ,hmmmm
I know an Air National Guard guy who goes there 2-3 times a year, I’ll have to ask him about it. He’s a loadmaster, not a pilot, but I’m sure he could shed some more light on that for me. I’m pretty sure international treaties say you can’t put weapons there, but… I wouldn’t be surprised if every country was violating it.
That vehicle was flawed in so many ways, wasn't warm enough, needed lots of fuel, it's a perfect example of what happens when engineers design on paper without real world knowledge.
That is the prevailing theory, which was not mentioned in this video. The theory goes that they ran out out of the regular alcohol they brought for the season, and this guy happened to be a heavy drinker. Instead of experiencing the withdrawals and simply live out there sober for months he decided to drink the methanol they had in the stock room to get his fix. If true this illustrates the true nature of the disease of alcoholism. I have heard anecdotes about people drinking various forms of alcohol when their ethanol supply ran dry. Aftershave, sanitizer, other solvents. As a recovering addict with seven years sober I do understand the form of desperation that could drive a man to risk drinking poison like methanol to stop the cravings and withdrawals from occurring. Luckily I myself had a stroke in 2017 due to mixing drugs, and I was in a coma for a month and ended up with anoxic brain damage. That was May 29th 2017 and I have not used illicit drugs to get high since that date. Anyhow, this theory seems very plausible to me. The intentional poisoning theory seems very implausible. If you put enough methanol in someones drink to kill them they would absolutely notice right away and stop drinking it. How else could you intentionally poison a man with methanol?
"DSS Wormald stated it was not credible to believe he had deliberately drunk the methanol, when he had ready access to a large supply of alcohol. Marks had recently entered a new relationship, had nearly completed important academic work and had no financial problems. He had promptly sought treatment for an illness that confused him, and there was no reason to suspect suicidal intent."
Distilling ethanol isn’t difficult, you just have to discard the fore shot, maybe the first 100mL or so. Even then, if the ethanol concentration is high enough, it’ll prevent most methanol toxicity which is only due to the formaldehyde and formic acid it metabolizes into. The treatment for methanol poisoning is ethanol, so you can get medically drunk which is neat. Sounds more like a suicide or desperate attempt at getting drunk with hand sanitizer or something like that.
I've heard about the Nazis going to Argentina, conspiracy theories about them secretly taking over the US, and even going to the moon, but Antarctica is a new one.
"Hey, Dr. Poulter, Antarctica is all snow and ice. How are you going to prevent the Cruiser from getting stuck?" "Simple. We're going to GET RID OF ALL OF THE TRACTION. Give me THE SLICKEST tires." "That's why they pay you the big bucks!"
Designers examined the ice crystals on the surface of Antarctica and realized it had similarities to certain types of sand. They found that tread-less flotation tires worked on the sand so assumed it would work on the ice. Oops. The Snow Cruiser could pull its tires inside of the fenders where the exhaust from the diesel engines kept the rubber warm to prevent cracking from the severe cold. This same feature along with the long front and rear overhang let it push itself over cracks in the ice.
6:24 so they fired flares into the sky and pointed floodlights into the sky and suddenly someone saw strange lights in the sky? Now that's... that's something...
Torque is more important for large vehicles. The Snow Cruiser had it in spades since it was actually a diesel electric hybrid with drive coming from four 75 hp electric motors. The two 150 hp diesel engines served as generators. In any case having slick tires on ice makes any amount of power absolutely useless. Apprently they were made for a swamp vehicle. Why they didn't go with studded tires is beyond me.
That wooden ramp had become saturated with ice and much of the cellulose fibers in the wood would have been compromised by the frozen water expansion inside the wood. By the time they got the ramp setup and the vehicle on it the wood was frozen solid and compromised by the ice in the wood. They should have been smart enough to anticipate this problem.
Because of number 1, my brain is picturing Bigfoot (the monster truck) and those massive tyres. Theyre different tread, but must've come from a super similar vehicle, but I'd wondered about that since I was a small kid. Hope everyone's doing good and is blessed today 🙌
@@alexsetterington3142 thank you buddy, I'll check it out. I'll never forget the bigfoot truck with the ridiculously massive tyres. Hope you're good 👍
it is worth noting that the first "Snow tires" hit the market in Finland in 1934, so given the war, the concept of Snow Tyres was not well known in 1940, Racing Slicks were invented in the early 1950's for drag racing, clearly many people do not know their automotive history as well as they think they do. now Snow Chains were patented in the USA in 1904, so tyres aside, they should have known about snow chains by 1940...
There was an extremely brief mention at about 12:07 as a bs theory for the gravitational anomaly. It's just one of the peaks among the "Ellsworth Mountains" in Antarctica which all have sharp edges, seemingly due to long term erosion/fracturing. You can see it at 79°58’39.25”S 81°57’32.21”W, there's another "pyramid" (4 fairly flat sides) very nearby, but that's too obviously natural to start a conspiracy theory with.

Torque is more important for large vehicles. The Snow Cruiser had it in spades since it was actually a diesel electric hybrid with drive coming from four 75 hp electric motors. The two 150 hp diesel engines served as generators.
