instead of lifeboats, they should make lifedrones why go into the water at all when you can go into the air and fly to safety think outside the box here PEOPLE

Slugworth posted:Don't ships also basically suck everything around them down with them too, or am I dimly remembering some wrong info? If so, you probably don't want your life raft hitting the water right before the ship goes below the surface, better to have time to get some distance between you and the ship. I think that's a myth. Which was busted.

Some sort of "ship parachute" would probably work. Like a big balloon or something.

GotLag posted:By Mythbusters or by people who actually know how to set up and run an experiment? It's known to occur in very specific cases where previously water tight compartments collapse suddenly as the ship sinks. It depends on how quickly the ship sinks, amongst other things. Generally you do want to get the gently caress away anyway, because the sucker might explode or capsize, anyway. And if it's a cruise ship, there's other boats or rafts coming down after you so get out of the way.

No no no, hear me out now ..... what if we carved ships out of ice? The other benefit is that due to the international laws of shipping all icebergs would have to give way to iceships so we'd get no more Titanic bullshit.

Volcott posted:I think that's a myth. Which was busted. iirc the ship sinking doesn't generate suction, but all of the air bubbling out of it can aerate the water and reduce its effective density. With enough air bubbles in the water, the density can be reduced to the point where people and life boats won't float in it any more. It's a bit like how quicksand is formed, but with air and water instead of water and sand. Once the air stops bubbling the density will return and you'll float back to the surface, obviously, but that might be several minutes for a large ship.

Marine switchgear scares me. I can't imagine trying to rack in/out a circuit breaker from a live bus (like 4160V for power distribution on a cruise liner) while the ship is rocking and rolling 30 degrees in both directions. They make switchgear that have handrails on the front that people can hold if things are rocking back and forth, and they're built specially to handle that.

My poo poo floats because it's ejected explosively in a liquid form that hardens into a foam-like structure in midair, like pumice

not buying it. that's several orders of magnitude difference (9 tons vs 52,000 tons). they let that go too easy.

Also any debris on the boat that can float but which gets caught up by it on the way down can get released as it goes down and come out of the water like a missile. This will not be a fun experience if you happen to be above it at the time.

I gave up on the show when they disproved archimedes ancient greek death laser by mounting thirty hand mirrors on a dolly and pointing them at a wooden boat, as the sun was setting because they spent all day constructing the experiment, in minnesota, in winter, and failed to produce fire. That proves that ten thousand polished mirror shields on a cliff in the mediterranean in june could never have set incoming ships on fire. They didn't even say okay see you tomorrow at noon we'll reapply the pitch and see what happens then. Five minutes whoops sundown, sorry! Coolest thing you've ever heard in history class: busted.

Didn’t they test it in San Francisco, which is actually on the same latitude as Archimedes’ home town of Syracuse (37°)?

That just means they get hosed by budget and time constraints, just like real scientists

"Unfortunately I've completely failed to solder onto the explosive charge, it just won't take the solder as it's not metal" Platystemon posted:Didn’t they test it in San Francisco, which is actually on the same latitude as Archimedes’ home town of Syracuse (37°)? I think they did that one twice because goons on the internet literally would not shut up about it. Once they definitely did test it at their usual site in Alameda (across the bay from San Francisco). Later on in the series they occasionally talk about "the people on the discovery channel forums" and you can watch their contempt just grow and grow and grow and it's marvelous  There's an episode devoted to just showing behind-the-scenes stuff like "okay, here are the eighty trials we did but didn't show on camera because it's boring to just show us doing the same thing over and over but YES WE DID REPEAT THE TESTS YOU INSUFFERABLE TWATS"
