Amazing stuff, love what you’re doing! The TV show got me hooked years ago. Glad to see you’re still at it. Seems like you thought of everything, right up until the rocket hookup. Lots of ways to make that a break away quick connect so you don’t have to fumble with alligator clips in the middle of a chase.
for sure was thinking the same thing about that igniter connection. but easy for us to poke about that stuff it's a different thing "Reality". the TIV is a beast.
@@MXstar189 Nobody is poking. Comments and suggestions are part of normal conversations. ANY hint of something having room for improvement or curiosity if something could be enhanced is not the same as an attack. Not sure if you noticed, but Reed, the man himself from the video, loved and pinned my comment. So if HE didn’t take my comment as negative, then there is no one so “save” here.
I was thinking the same. @ReedTimmerWx, perhaps a magnetic disconnect for the +/- in one connector that would work similar to a magnetic charging connector on some laptops such as a MacBook Pro would be a quick and effective method. A connector that could only fit one way so no fumbling or plugging in... just bring them near and they catch. I realize it would need to be extremely lightweight so as the weight of the part attached to the rocket wouldn't affect its flight but that shouldn't be an issue to work out. Just thoughts. Thank you for all you do -- Keep up the outstanding work!
@@watchdogu.s.a.8973 The rocket engines are off the shelf parts. They look like Estes motors. Either way, the ignitors are a friction fit into the motors and are ejected upon ignition. With that in mind the easiest most foolproof connection in my mind would be a deans plug that is attached to the ignitor prior to being on a chase.
Custom hookups could be made by soldering the leads of the fuse to a 1/4 instrument cable. then have an input jack soldered to the power source. One quick plug in and you are good to go.
To do what he does, you cannot be normal. But I am glad that, in his own insanity, his heart flies straight like an arrow; time and again he proves how kind he is to people and animals.
Nothing short of amazing! I incorporated your live chases for the last 10 yrs or so into our homeschool curriculum and all 5 kids are grown now Reed. You are making a difference in generations!!
@@emrilbennett8704I, too, watched Storm Chasers featuring Reed, Sean, Josh and Tim (rest in peace, Tim!). I also saw a few episodes of Reeds own storm chasing show.
I remember watching the first season of your show on Discovery when I was still in school. Glad to know you're still doing so much incredible work to better understand these storms.
@Mischelle-ml5ci it was called storm chasers him and the dominator and his team and a bunch of other chasers it was on Netflix for a while and is even free on RUclips now with adds
From all the places it could have landed, it landed on a lawn of a church. You guys are blessed. This is awesome on so many levels, and the coolest video I've seen in a long time! Inspiring, exciting, and super cool! Good luck to ya'll on the tornados hunt. You're the kind of people that make humanity go forward. Much love and respect!
This is the coolest thing I have ever seen!!! I have been terrified of storms since I was trapped by one in and apartment at the age of 6. My mom was at work and the next thing I remember was the fireman digging me out! Back than kids stayed alone and had keys around their necks to go to school and back home , while your parents worked. Anyway, watching you is helping me confront my fears but gaining knowledge about storms! Thank you so very much !! At 55 I’m finally facing my fears!!
I remember finding your channel maybe about 5 years ago and it made me OBSESSED with storm chasing. Twisters completely revived it and I couldn’t be happier rediscovering your channel.
I watched the Premier on my phone and just had to watch it again on my laptop when I got home. The production of this video is just genius. The team was able to show and demonstrate the awesomeness of the Dominator 3 in a concise way. It's clear that everyone involved has produced a sophisticated and incredible machine built on learning from past endeavors. Brian was able to capture all the detailed information along with Reed & Team's passion for the chase. Great job! Never stop chasing.
Just discovered this channel and am so glad I did! This speaks to the kid in me who is fascinated by this kind of applied, practical science. I wish I had the opportunity to work with you or engage in this kind of work. Alas, I live in south central Canada where there has never been a tornado of note… such is life. Thankfully I can live vicariously through you!
I would have lost my mind learning about this thing at 12 years old. I mean I'm kind of losing my mind now learning about it and I'm 39. This is so very awesome.
I’ve been watching Reed since he was on Storm Chasers. I took my kids to see Twisters this summer and didn’t realize the connection. They thought the main guy was so cool. I was really excited to show them Reed’s videos and show them how much cooler the Dominator is than the car in the movie. This video made them really excited.
This video is amazing! I hope it helps bring more sponsors to help further fund your goals. It’s so important to help keep us all safe in the more and more extreme weather patterns.
Reed, I can’t tell you how glad I am to see you doing videos like this. You have had the clearest mission for decades, and the improvements you’ve made along the way are why you’re seeing this immense scientific success now. You deserve all the eyeballs in the world. What you do is incredible. I hope you see more support from here as you go! Storm Chasers reboot! 🙃
It has spikes that can be driven into the ground! It has Kevlar covering it for projectile protection! Two layer windows of which the outer one is triple thick polycarbonate on heavy gullwinged doors. A beast of a diesel engine. With all the power it will need to outrun a tornado if need be it can still take the hits. A beast of a vehicle. Never stop chasing Reed.
May 28th, 2019 was not only a day you guys remember for having the first ever internal tornado data, but one that I do as well; I was in Lawrence at the time and it was one of the most anxious days of my life. God bless my mother who's been working with the NWS for over 25 years and is currently the MIC at the Topeka NWS office, and God bless you guys as well. NEVER STOP CHASING!
You're living the life, design/ building tools for your passion, pushing the limits and having fun and laughing while doing it. Can't wait to see you out in Dominator 3!
This is the BEST video ever, Dr. Reed Timmer! I'm just starting to watch the tornado chases after my body adjusted to the adrenaline bursts! I'm an older lady who SO ENJOYS you/your team's enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge. All that to say, this vehicle is AMAZING! Cannot wait to see her in ACTION🌪⛈💥
Awesome video, Team Dominator! As a channel member, I love knowing I am supporting this exciting research!! I can't wait for the "season" to begin and watch the team in action! PLEASE consider joining the channel to support this important research! The exciting videos are just the icing on the cake! Never Stop Chasing 👍👍
@@Dellarocco89 that's fair. Steve Irwin was a pioneer in his field as well. Reed has equipment no other chasers have. R/C Airplane with probes, rockets, vehicles and pinpoint experience. Nobody else has come close to accomplishing what Reed has. Not Dr.Josh Wurman, not anyone....Reed is the measuring stick at this time in history. As was Steve Irwin. However, Steve Irwin was not an American. Ben Franklin was and Dr.Timmer IS
@@sNorENaDo777 science is world wide though, and Reed isn't just pioneering American history. He's doing for the meteorological world what Steve did for the Zoological world
Let's not forget Sean Casey, who originally came up with the concept of the TIV.. No one else before then had built anything like it.. You have to give credit when credit is due. Not knocking Reed whatsoever. Sean's goal was an Imax film. Reed took that and has kept expanding and upgrading the original idea and has contributed a ton to the world of meteorology.
First time seeing your video and I thought it would be another goofy diy maker channel. I realized you're a real deal. What a machine! I hope to see video of Dominator 3 at its job!
As someone who grew up and lives in the Midwest, Reed and his ever changing and growing Team Dominator have been a huge part of my life and I’m glad he’s going full beans with his PhD. Nobody better than Reed, and of course the OG Chaser Gizmo. I was just thinking Gizmo the other day, glad to see that cute pup is still helping Timmer with his research! What I’d give to intercept an EF 2-4 in Dominator 3. Never stop chasing, Reed!
Wow, dude. You ARE a character. Gotta respect that. Love the car 😄 I see where the producers of "Twisters" got their ideas. Watched it yesterday, which is how I ended up here today, from Norway.
reed, you and your team vehicle line up is the reason many people are living to this day. i wish you a great life for ever. because of the dominator 3 I've always wanted to model and design a model close to the domonater 3 and tiv 2. you are a good great person!
Reed is amazing! He continues making vids past the movies that i watch as a kid, gettin actual data that will save lives! Hope you make it to 1 mil ,much love!
I think in a way they DO have one. There are so many things in twisters that Reed helped pioneer; drilling spikes to secure your vehicle, launching rockets into the tornado, shouting YEEHAW as you zero-meter a wedge...
@@mith2946 it looks fine, its a standalone sequel so i dont see the need to compare it to the original film. whether it stands on its own or not will be determined by the performance of its cast.
A running joke over at Max Velocity - After Dark is that Max needs to storm chase in a cybertruck. The chat gets really into trying to figure it out. One day he plans to chase with Reed and we can't wait to see it.
This is SUPER COOL!! 🙌 I LOVE it!! 🥰 TYVM Dr. Reed!!! 👏👍 I hope l live long enough to see these rockets like gadgets actually decimate the tornados!! Never Stop Chasing! Stay Safe!☺️✌️❤️🦋🙏
This is so well made, hats off to Brian and team dominator!! I love how Reed’s personality really shines through, I legitimately was laughing so hard when he was hammering that at 2:27 and happy seeing him share his passion with us all! This is such valuable information, thank you for sharing this all! Never stop chasing! 💪🏻
Seriously, I need a Twister movie with Reed leading. The shows and youtube channel are fantastic and I rewatch them often but can you imagine the movie and the science he could produce with a blockbuster budget?
Awesome! Never thought of using model rockets for this; I used to fly them but that was too many years ago. Also cool you accomplished this back in my old stomping grounds around Leavenworth. Used to live there after leaving the Army; grew up across the state line in NW Missouri.
Thank you for all you do, Reed&Team! Not only do you take us on breathtaking adventures but you're making history doing this! So many of our advancements with weather science all because of you guys. Forever grateful for you all! Also thank you for this video, your energy was on point and took a rough day into a good one. (Anytime you stream though. Your energy is awesome!) Never stop chasing!❤🌪
This season will be an exciting one! I’m ready to see Reed get like 9 intercepts in a week. 😂 I’m glad Reed has the Technology, team and safety to do what he loves. I admire you Reed. You give me the courage and passion to keep pushing every day and keep working towards my goal to get to Oklahoma University for meteorology. God has given you a gift and man it’s a great one. I pray for you, your equipment, and your team for the chases to come. Keep up the amazing work and I look forward to what you can do this season! Never Stop Chasing - Reed Timmer.
If you made the anchoring spikes a spiral auger style and rotated them into the ground, you could really anchor that thing down good. The spikes seem to raise you more than anything, depending on the soil of course. A screw style would pull you down
Just thinking the same thing about lifting. Also some sort of hooks to grab the ground, but then how do you raise them back up. But the screw cork idea solves both issues, and it would really pull the vehicle to the ground more for a better seal. Excellent solution.
This is kinda false I understand the idea but realistically a system like that wouldn’t work as it would just loosen the dirt and would really lock it down
So damned cool Reed. I love your never ending passion for being on the razor thin cutting edge of research and innovation. You are your staff are legends, and we appreciate all you do.
Bro this is insane… I’ve toured the tiv 2 irl and this is crazier. Me and my family have watched you every year for a lot of years every tornado season. I’ve been watching since your og tv show. Keep it up bro, your insane.
Amazing stuff, love what you’re doing! The TV show got me hooked years ago. Glad to see you’re still at it. Seems like you thought of everything, right up until the rocket hookup. Lots of ways to make that a break away quick connect so you don’t have to fumble with alligator clips in the middle of a chase.
Reed, you're the storm chasing legend we needed. Over the last month, you really pulled me into the science of tornados. My radar knowledge has jumped after watching your live streams. Keep doing you and never stop chasing!
Always thought this guy was crazy as hell but the laughter seals the deal! Best of luck! Yall hiring drivers because I think the crazy may be contagious.
Great (and hilarious) intro to the Dom3. Maybe a bit of a weak point in the rocket launch process, alligator clamps on terminals an inch apart during the approach of a freaking tornado, but seeing how cleverly you've solved so many problems from the earlier Dominators, I've little doubt that better solutions will be forthcoming. Very exciting work! Best of luck to you all.
Holy crap Dr. Reed, I haven't seen you in years, since the accident happened filming. Dude last time I saw you, we were young it's amazing seeing a generation leap, you're not the young High pitch voice anymore. Last video I saw, you had spikes that drove in the ground at an angle and the spikes stuck in the surface, planted..... Lol
Reed I have been following you for about 13 years, and this video of the Dominator 3 is absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait for storm chasing this season 2024! Never Stop Chasing! Edit: How many miles are on Dominator 3?
This photo reminds me of the Dr. Evil line, You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! 😂 Y'all rock

If you made the anchoring spikes a spiral auger style and rotated them into the ground, you could really anchor that thing down good. The spikes seem to raise you more than anything, depending on the soil of course. A screw style would pull you down
100%
@@Ry_Guy very smart idea!
I agree.
I was thinking of a teepee style strut (air or hydraulic) assembly.
Just thinking the same thing about lifting. Also some sort of hooks to grab the ground, but then how do you raise them back up.
But the screw cork idea solves both issues, and it would really pull the vehicle to the ground more for a better seal. Excellent solution.
This is kinda false I understand the idea but realistically a system like that wouldn’t work as it would just loosen the dirt and would really lock it down
I’m watching Storm Chasers right now on HBO Max. Good to see you’re alive and well. I’m sad to hear about Tim Samaras. RIP!
LMFAO BROS LAUGH MAKES ME LAUGH EVERYTIME I LOVE IT!! GOd bless yall for everything you do!
So damned cool Reed.
I love your never ending passion for being on the razor thin cutting edge of research and innovation.
You are your staff are legends, and we appreciate all you do.
Love learning. Enjoy the chase always and enjoy seeing the countryside whilst you're traveling. Thanks so much. Be careful and stay safe.
"Pinch it off, we gotta go!" Great Video!!
Bro this is insane… I’ve toured the tiv 2 irl and this is crazier. Me and my family have watched you every year for a lot of years every tornado season. I’ve been watching since your og tv show. Keep it up bro, your insane.
Amazing stuff, love what you’re doing! The TV show got me hooked years ago. Glad to see you’re still at it. Seems like you thought of everything, right up until the rocket hookup. Lots of ways to make that a break away quick connect so you don’t have to fumble with alligator clips in the middle of a chase.
This dude is what I call “good crazy” ❤
Absolutely gorgeous machine!
Reed, you're the storm chasing legend we needed. Over the last month, you really pulled me into the science of tornados. My radar knowledge has jumped after watching your live streams. Keep doing you and never stop chasing!
Reed your the truth and I wanna say sorry for all the losses. I still watch reruns like they new. Keep inspiring, we need it
A lot of very interesting information! Thank you for sharing!
Have followed you for years Reed. You are my go to person for severe weather events. Hope Gizmo is ready for some tornadoes!!
NSC!!
Always thought this guy was crazy as hell but the laughter seals the deal! Best of luck!
Yall hiring drivers because I think the crazy may be contagious.
Reed is such a dork with his laugh, but it's hilarious because he's able to laugh at himself, so here I am.. also laughing.
13:00 bein' an good ol' farmer just havin' survived a tornado and then some tank rollin' up with a boyscout collectin' his 'data'
This is extremely cool 😎. Awesome stuff
Dominator 3 not only looks amazing but also is amazing! You guys never fail to get inside those tornadoes Never Stop Chasing!❤
Still more practical as a daily driver than the cybertruck
By far. This thing was actually improved as time went on! The Cybertruck just becomes more of a meme the more I learn about it. XD
And this one doesnt stop working under the rain XD
@@JakeButAwesome
...or extreme cold. :3
@@jamesgizasson and it wont turn you into jelly if you crash
@@JakeButAwesome won't turn you into jelly but I can't say the same about what you crash intp
Reed, this is such a great video! Your passion for chasing can always be felt.
You're explaining made this very interesting!!! What an ingenious creation and approach all involved have come up with. 👌
@3:56 Just don’t sit down right when that’s going off 😂😂😂 will think your instantly at a Diddy party 😂😂😂
Great (and hilarious) intro to the Dom3. Maybe a bit of a weak point in the rocket launch process, alligator clamps on terminals an inch apart during the approach of a freaking tornado, but seeing how cleverly you've solved so many problems from the earlier Dominators, I've little doubt that better solutions will be forthcoming. Very exciting work! Best of luck to you all.
I love this video! Serious explanation of a very important matter but still light and funny. Amazing work here!
Cant wait to see the dominator 3’s new tour! It released! 🎉
Holy crap Dr. Reed, I haven't seen you in years, since the accident happened filming. Dude last time I saw you, we were young it's amazing seeing a generation leap, you're not the young High pitch voice anymore. Last video I saw, you had spikes that drove in the ground at an angle and the spikes stuck in the surface, planted.....
Lol
Yeah you enjoy being inside that tornado car all by yourself. Ill sit this one out, king.
Reed is a world treasure ❤
Reed I have been following you for about 13 years, and this video of the Dominator 3 is absolutely phenomenal. I can't wait for storm chasing this season 2024! Never Stop Chasing!
Edit: How many miles are on Dominator 3?
What an absolute beast. I love it!!!
Love it the squeak squeak comes the dominator 3 😂 5:16
So awesome! From a 37 yo Oklahoman
This photo reminds me of the Dr. Evil line, You know, I have one simple request, and that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! 😂 Y'all rock
Haha never stop chasing
Thanks to Reed, Brian, and the whole Team Dominator for this scientific breakthrough! #NeverStopChasing!
I am so looking forward to this!
Thank you Jan! Brian put a huge amount of work into this
Excellent thank you for all you do ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reed: my probes keep missing so I must become the probe.
