He did break the record for highest free fall (39km to 31 km), he also broke the record for the highest manned balloon flight (previously 37.6km) and became the first person to break the sound barrier without an engine
It was a fake. This is evident from how they artificially created the visualization of the height using a fisheye lens and this is evident from the horizon which is sometimes convex, sometimes straight, sometimes concave. A terrible fake.
Highest freefall (39km/128000ft), highest manned balloon flight, fastest freefall (mach 1.24) He is the first human to break the sound barrier without artificial power.. Also the most video views of a live video on youtube :) Joe Kittinger did a similar jump over 50 years ago.
Speed doesn't break the sound barrier. Speed through a medium does. He couldn't have broken it cause his speed was slowed as he reentered due to drag coeeficient. Human terminal velocity cannot be altered by height unless he jumped from the moon with a jetpack, it isn't possible for him to enter the medium at a speed faster than sound can travel through it. Otherwise, he would just be named Felix "Crispy" Baumgartner on his tombstone.
That's pretty crazy. I didn't know that a person could break the sound barrier from a freefall because the speed of sound goes up as the thickness of the medium changes. Since terminal velocity should always be less than that of the speed of sound, I'm truly surprised.
From 0:12 to 0:15 is a perfect example of how a fisheye lens distorts the horizon, depending on if the horizon is in the upper half of the shot, where it will appear convex, or in lower half of the shot, where it will appear concave.
Terminal velocity decreases as you descend to where the atmosphere is thick enough to cause resistance. He would have slowed to 122 mph before pulling his chute, which would have slowed him even more. Meanwhile, sound travels FASTER in a denser medium, so it would have accelerated to its speed at sea level and reached the ground long before he did.
i suppose that makes sense...thanks for clearing the air...i'm surprised he didn't get hurt! Again, imagine what that must have felt like being so high up you can see where the blue sky ends and the black depths of space begin! Simply amazing...
I forget if it was Felix or Kittinger, one of them didn't have one of their gloves secure so by the time he reached jump altitude his hand had swelled to like 3x and as he fell it returned to normal but was still very painful
Speed of sound is slower as you go up, terminal velocity is higher as you go up. Simple answer is his terminal velocity didn't slow down fast enough for him to not break the sound barrier at whatever altitude he had broken it.
The video that you're on about shows 729mph reached. It is the same footage from the live stream, so the speed was just an estimate at the time. It was then said Felix reached 833.9mph, then confirmed at 843.6mph. The speed record for him breaking the sound barrier was officially broken.
Because he went subsonic while in freefall (he slowed down below 693mph). The boom he created was 34 seconds into freefall. Felix didn't hear or feel the boom.
He did break the sound barrier! and it does not make a utltimately huge sound coming from the void when you break it. Actually, it's the sound coming from the air resistance against Felix's body that arrive at the sound receiver at the same time. (since this sound was emmited at a point[x,y,z] closer and closer from the receiver)
The vapor cone begins to form before the barrier is crossed, as moisture is compressed and condenses along the shockwave which is forming. The cone doesn't mean you are supersonic, just close to it.
Speed of sound is proportional to the density of the material it's traveling through, as a rule of thumb. At higher altitudes, the air density decreases, and so the speed of sound decreases. Felix could definitely have broken the sound barrier at an altitude where the speed of sound is lower than terminal velocity, and maintained that state until his terminal velocity decreased below the speed of sound.
A jet plane emits 130dB whereas the air ruffling over Felix's clothes would be about 65dB. But don't be fooled, The decibel is a logarithmic value, so Felix's sonic boom would be more than 1000 times quieter than a jet plane's boom in terms of the apparent effect we would hear with our ears, meaning that Felix's boom would be inaudible.
shock wave (it's a correct name for "sonic boom") is travelling behind object - it propagates as a cone behind object, where object is an apex of the cone and velocity vector is an axis of the cone so, you can't hear it from Earth's surface in this case
"A supersonic aircraft usually produces two sonic booms, one from the aircraft's nose and the other from its tail, resulting in a double thump." How and why did he produce double bang?
Souns travels at a speed of 1234,8 km/s , give it take .5 m/s depending on the conditions. But, since the stratosphere is at roughly 39,068 meters the velocity decreases because the colder it is the less the particles in the air move. The acceleration he has is of 9.8 m/s^2. Let's multyply that by the time he took (480 secs * 9.8 m/s^s because time* acceleration= speed) and we have 4704 m/s.Now, let's take away some speed to simulate the time he took to decelerate. 15480 km/s aproximately.
The speed of sound, is well, the actual speed sound travels at, which is 1,236km/h (768mph). It may be a little faster or slower, depending on the temperature. Jet Planes that are travelling faster than the speed of sound will fly past you, but the sound will be heard a couple of seconds later, meaning the sound can't keep up with the Plane as it is travelling faster than the sound. When you speak with people, the sound goes from ear to ear so quickly.
I simply expected him to slow down significantly faster than sound as he came into thicker atmosphere always keeping him at a speed of less than sound.
A gas's density has much less effect than, say, molecular weight of the gas, which is why the frequency goes up and down when speaking through different gases, but the denser nature of water does contribute to faster propagation of sound, and more humid air has more water.
I was expecting 2 sonic events, 1 going thru the sound barrier, the 2nd coming back into the sub-sonic range, both within 30-50 seconds.and I agree with you on the DBs felt.by a sonic boom, I guess they took that in account in making the suit he wore. I've heard the concords SB's 75-100miles out in the atlantic and they would knock your socks off! I guess he(Felix) had a real chance of cracking a faceplate or even breaking his neck..Team Stratos ROCKS!
The lens is used to obtain a wider field of view. Not to mention, GoPro was one of the sponsors of this livestreamevent, and they supplied the cameras.
@@wrenengels7435 у вас проблемы, если вы верите, что Земля круглая, потому что она не только круглая, но еще и плоская)) Понятия круг и шар разделяйте.
I made a mistake with my original post I meant temperature, not air density. The speed of sound increases as the air gets colder and is affected a little by humidity. Air density has nothing to do with the speed of sound.
Sonic booms for dummies: - Any sound is infact just a kind of a pressure wave. - If ANY wave hits another wave, both amplitudes can be added. - If something travels in a medium, it causes waves, see ships. So if something travels near the speed of the waves it creates, the waves in front of this object are much shorter. When then the object reaches the speed of the waves, all the waves it creates are in one point. Which means there is one wave with an extreme huge amplitude...
It was just the wind passing over the microphone. You can hear the same sound a few second before too. If it were the boom, then because he is travelling faster than the speed of sound, he should have hit the ground just before you heard the boom. Red Bull are talking... well... Bull :-)
I have heard sonic booms before with the space shuttle and I heard a distinct double boom sound with them, and I hear a smaller..yet distinct sonic boom. well done team stratos! 7 years in the making. my fingernails where chewed to a nub after the delays. this was a very welcome break from all the presidentual crap going on TV at the moment.
GoPro cameras were used to record the footage of this skydive. These cameras are fitted with distorting wide-angle (fish eye) lenses, which is what is responsible for the distorted and exaggerated appearance of the earth in the footage. Even though it appears as though the entire planet is visible in the footage, the only part of the earth's surface that can actually be seen in this distorted view, is the state of New Mexico in the USA. If cameras with non-distorting lenses were used to record this skydive, the curvature of the earth would be quite minimal and nothing like what's shown in this video. He's jumped from a height of 39 km (24 miles) from the layer of the atmosphere known as the stratosphere - the use of the word 'space' in the video title is a completely misleading and an example of a channel owner using 'clickbait' to increase views. Hopefully you now have a better understanding about what actually occurred in the video and why certain objects appear as they do?

So what was that..a real recording mixed and added in? Whatever the case, that was a pretty characteristic boom to me (though it does sound quieter than an aircraft's), of which I've heard 11 in person over the years.
According to redbullstratos, Felix was in freefall for 34 sec before going supersonic and breaking the speed of sound at 833.9 mph (1324.8 km/h). Assuming that the air at that altitude is so thin that creates almost zero drag, someone could use this simple equation u=a*t (where u=velocity, a=accelaration , t=time) to find the average accelaration. For u=1324.8 km/h=368 m/s and t=34 sec --> a= 10.82 m/s^2. which is > 9.81( the accelaration from earth's gravity field in zero altitude)
Actually you cannot see a sonic shockwave. What you are referring to as a visible shock wave is water condensing out of the air in the low pressure zone behind the high pressure shock wave. This only occurs at low altitude in humid conditions. It does not occur at high altitude where the air is less humid. A similar low pressure system created by low pressure vortices coming off the wing tips of fast moving aircraft similarly creates visible trails of water vapour.
If the microphone picking it up is on the ground, we are not hearing a sonic boom from his fall. This is a common misperception on how sonic booms work. Once he broke the sound barrier, the shock wave of sound trails him like a cone. Only people behind a supersonic thing can hear the boom. This never happens for the people on the ground because he is falling straight down. Similarly, only people behind a ski boat can get hit by the water "V", not in front of the boat.
He wouldn't reach terminal velocity until he got far enough into our atmosphere. Where he jumped from there is almost no wind resistance, therefore he would be freefalling at a much faster rate. Once falling enough into our atmosphere, he would decelerate to the point he would reach terminal velocity where it would be safe to deploy his parachute.
Even if he could hear it, it would not be a 'boom' to him because it would constantly be with him. The boom is caused as the shockwave passes whoever can hear it. He is with the shockwave - no boom. Like the tree question: If you make a sonic boom and no one can hear it, did you really do it?
Actually.. you can search youtube for sonic boom and tons of videos come up. You can definitely see when something breaks the speed of sonic and causes a sonic boom.

A gas's density has much less effect than, say, molecular weight of the gas, which is why the frequency goes up and down when speaking through different gases, but the denser nature of water does contribute to faster propagation of sound, and more humid air has more water.

What you are referring to as a visible shock wave is water condensing out of the air in the low pressure zone behind the high pressure shock wave.
This only occurs at low altitude in humid conditions. It does not occur at high altitude where the air is less humid.
A similar low pressure system created by low pressure vortices coming off the wing tips of fast moving aircraft similarly creates visible trails of water vapour.
If the microphone picking it up is on the ground, we are not hearing a sonic boom from his fall. This is a common misperception on how sonic booms work. Once he broke the sound barrier, the shock wave of sound trails him like a cone. Only people behind a supersonic thing can hear the boom. This never happens for the people on the ground because he is falling straight down. Similarly, only people behind a ski boat can get hit by the water "V", not in front of the boat.
He wouldn't reach terminal velocity until he got far enough into our atmosphere. Where he jumped from there is almost no wind resistance, therefore he would be freefalling at a much faster rate. Once falling enough into our atmosphere, he would decelerate to the point he would reach terminal velocity where it would be safe to deploy his parachute.
That's not Felix... it's Goku
you can't "see" it, you hear it.
Even if he could hear it, it would not be a 'boom' to him because it would constantly be with him. The boom is caused as the shockwave passes whoever can hear it. He is with the shockwave - no boom.
Like the tree question: If you make a sonic boom and no one can hear it, did you really do it?
come on upload the uncut free fall....
you guys who are sayying bad things go that high and jump
Pay me 😂 definitely will be the test subject
probably when his heart stopped
i can't imagine going that fast.
You won't exactly be able to perceive how fast you're falling... you have nothing to compare the speed to
Actually.. you can search youtube for sonic boom and tons of videos come up. You can definitely see when something breaks the speed of sonic and causes a sonic boom.
Pfff we don't hear anything and we never saw the original video of the free fall! what a shame!!
If it was that loud for it to reach the ground, wouldn't his mic have picked it up? Or was his suit soundproof?
That wasn't a sonic boom. It was Chuck Norris clapping in approval.
Maybe because Natgeo and BBC have the rights for the documentary that is coming out next month and they have all the good footage??? @redbull I'm just assuming, what have you got to say?
Because even though it says 300 people have seen the video, 10,000 have actually seen it in reality. It seems more probable that instead of 300 people constantly posting comments that the views just haven't reset..
