Gav and Dan go to an ocean simulator to film a wave that does not occur anywhere in nature in glorious 4K slow motion. Do we hit Dan in the face with it? Watch to find out. Spoiler: Yes.
Myself and the team and FloWave were very very happy to host the SlowMo guys and to show off our amazing wave and current basin. The pre-production meetings were quite something and we did spend some time measuring rubber ducks with callipers and doing the risk assessments for the experiments. We have done experiments for research projects using floating infra-red reflective markers to track the free surface using our Qualysis camera system and made some more scientific wave measurements. We've also recreated the "Great wave" from Hokkusai's famous woodcut in experiments on obliquely crossing waves for Oxford University.
They were excited to have the SloMo guys, and had to make sure rubber ducks wouldn't damage the equipment.so someone had to do analysis on rubber ducks. They've done other cool projects too.

Can't remember the channel for sure (might have been smarter every day) but they tested different methods for reducing splash back....a single piece of toilet paper on the surface of the water can greatly reduce the return fire after the plop
Actually, a wave similar to this can be created on a lake. When I was a teenager we would run the ski boat pulling a skier in a large circle while closing the radius of the circle with each pass so the waves reinforced each other. When the waves stacked up and hit the middle of the circle we would sharply turn to pull the skier through the middle as the water formed a deep trough and then swelled 4-6 feet high. No skier every made it through without being tossed high into the air. The ski boat also made a pretty good leap as well. When the timing was right with all the waves converging in the center at once, it was quite spectacular.
We would do the same thing dragging people on a donut. It was equally as fun to be launched as it was to perfect the pilot timing of creating the circle then whipping the tube into the center. HYSTERICAL limb-flailing launches. Good ol' times.
Closest I’ve ever been to spike waves was being in them. In 1987, hurricane Gilbert was getting close to the Yucatán peninsula. Hurricane Florence was heading to New Orleans. Some 400 miles from Florida, I was in a 53’ fishing boat. 18 foot waves from both hurricanes! Square waves, the worst. It was a full 40 feet from the top of waves to the troughs. Those spike waves were everywhere, and they always came in threes. We got slammed around a few times. After a couple days of that, the owner of the boat called us ashore. We weren’t scared in the least. We were high on that danger!
The slow mo guys have THE BEST SOUND engineers and editors in the crew. The sound editing and the special effects sounds when frames are shown slower or transitioning is simply crazy good.
SmarterEveryDay More like nightmares considering where most people encounter a Worthington jet. After all that business with laminar flow and fluid dynamics I figured you’d comment on this. Makes me happy.
Outwardly similar to a Worthington jet, but physically different. This is an outcome of constructive wave interference rather than a point of low pressure. Both phenomena approximate singularities of kinetic energy, but they are distinct.
This. Someone looking for a documentary material please go make video that covers everything about that place. Show and explain it more diligently. All waves explained etc.
@@LoveThomas07 water droplet .... extremely common sound beatboxers have to make like all the time .... extremely easy to do too,..... just watch tuts on RU-vid its easy
It'd be so hilarious if one of the ducks landed above the ceiling pillars and stayed there after they cleaned up and left, only to fall off some day, long after their visit when they're doing some scientific tests with another group. "Uh... Jim, there's a rubberducky in the pool" "Wha? Why? How?"
You guys are brilliant. I never would have guessed how beautiful things are in slow-mo. The only slow-mo I knew was slowing down a song on RU-vid to make it more amusing. 🤣
the absolute best part of the video. grid warping with that sound effect. so glad they worked so hard to get that shot. if it were my camera, i would have been quite apprehensive.
I just want to say hi. Hi I was checking out wave pool's for surfing and saw this one. I thought the same thing when i heard that too. I'm kinda surprised no one has replied to your comment. Anyways c ya. p.s. check out ltj bukem liquid d n b I bet you might like it.
imagine playing a game of pirates, suddenly hearing boss music as the waves around you ripple into the position your boat is in, and suddenly... *doip*
8:31 I'd love to put a laser pointer in at this point. Look at how the grid actually bends back onto itself and doubles it's own image. I wonder what would happen to the beam of the laser.
I'd genuinely love to see how the email went in regards to cooperating permissions to use the NuWave pool for the above purposes. "We want to put hundreds of rubber duckies in your scientific wave pool so we can watch them fly during the spike wave thingy that we saw on the RU-vids. That mmkay?"
Joshua Langley they may have actually done it in the past with floating spheres rather than ducks to see how the water would affect objects in the water
It was also scripted/fake, but that was obvious🤷♂️ you can see Dan ever so slightly lean back to pull the cord to activate the backup activation for when it doesn’t do it automatically...
Infernal_ NL I don’t think it was because the camera was splashed with water also could’ve been the water because it came back down and must’ve pulled it a bit not all the way for a bit then he accidentally ever so slightly pulled it
@@JetFalcon710 i mean gav did say the youtube originals are scripted, and even some of the normal slow mo guys vids are scripted, they wouldnt script something like that in though, even considering the crew laughed,
I hope everyone understand now how volcano eruption works. Just exchange pool with vibrating edges with water by a crater and magma during earthquake and you get such result with lava cone wave!
@@deathpac1to131 staring down in a lake of clear water, too deep to see the bottom, just a void staring back at you, unknowingly there could be something you don't know watching you within the dark where the sun doesn't reach
I love how the most watched part of the video according to the slide bar graph is the bit when Dan's life preserver went off. That would have been great in slow motion 😂
They missed a major opportunity by not standing on that platform thing and waving their arms like they're waterbending. Because come on, if timed right that'd look like waterbending
