I worked for a tanker building company and most repair jobs we got were because the operator forgot to open the top lid while emptying the tank. We got in a tank from a winery that was steam cleaned after delivery and the lid was closed, as the tank cooled off it imploded while being hauled to the next pick up. The truck cab was picked up off the ground and the rig went though a store front. Luckily nobody was hurt.
Wow. Having worked many years around ASME Coded Pressure Vessels for various industries, pressure and vacuum both, are nothing to play around with or be ignorant of. Very significant and dangerous situations. Glad to hear no one was hurt in the situation you reference.
Actually that's a legit way to implode barrels as an intentional experiment= Put a little water inside, heat to boil, when the barrel fills with steam (which replaces air) close the lid, stop the fire and let it cool. The steam inside will return to water, leaving a void .... bam! EDIT = Be VERY careful if you attempt this, pieces of barrel may shoot away, or if it does not implode at all, it might be ready to go and should still be considered quite damgerous.
Imagine being in a submarine and it malfunctions and sinks beyond its max allowed operational depth EDIT 2023: Are you people for real? How come did I predict anything? Submarine implosions happen when they are damaged or go beyond their maximum depth, this has been going on for more than 100 years. This video is just a graphic depiction of how it happens. EDIT 2: Did you know that in 2021 the Indonesian Navy submarine KRI Nanggala was lost with 53 people on board and later found IMPLODED at more than 800m deep? Oh, looks like a predicted that as well. NOT!! Submarines suffer accidents and implode frequently since the 1900s, I didn't predict anything, stop the clownery
Literally came to see this video because it is suspected that the Ocean Gate Submersible may have imploded and I was curious to see what that meant. Scary.
Yes it would be much worse under water. This was a vacuum pressure. As soon as the implosion starts it’s losing vacuum pressure that’s why it didn’t implode the whole trailer. They would have to keep vacuuming for a while to implode it more (if there isn’t tears/holes in the tank) and again and again. Under water at 6000 psi the pressure is always there so it would crush the whole thing like you stomping on a pop can.
The purpose of the long unedited video you are all complaining about is to show how long it takes from the start of the vacuum to complete destruction. I am glad to have wasted your time and life by watching my unedited video
Both stainless steel and aluminum tank trailer materials have low yield and tensile stress values. In this video, the forward end collapsed. Usually the collapse would be at the mid length. The structural there reinforced that zone. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Section VIII has the rules and calculations to design for full vacuum pressure vessels. The rules were improved in the 1960's. Around 1988, a paint engineer used the old rules to design the stainless inner tanks for Coors beer. 200 cars were built for Colorado to Virginia transport of Ruh. They were cleaned with steam after unload. No vent and imploded as steam condensed. At least five of these occurred.
75k p.s.i. minimum for SS (304) is not a low stress value. The evenly spaced circumfrential rings are for reinforcement. The mid-section platform is just that.
If you have an empty paint tin with a close fitting lid you can replicate the effect by pouring some water in the tin, putting the lid on loosely, bringing the water to the boil and waiting until it's steaming vigorously then removing the heat and whacking the lid shut ..... pouring iced water on the tin speeds the whole process up quite dramatically ........ it was the principle for very early water pumps in mine workings .......the implosion is contained, but think of your safety and that of any spectators too !!
I had a science teacher put a handball in liquid oxygen. He then threw it against the wall shattering it with an explosive sound. However, it imploded in on itself, and fell neatly onto the ground in it’s own footprint.
Implosions on land are very rarely instantaneous (unless the material is extremely weak). The reason why is because the air pressure on land is only 14 pounds per square inch...while the deepest parts of the oceans are THOUSANDS of times more (not to mention the heavier density of water compared to air)!!! Btw...to more accurately simulate an implosion, they need to submerge the object fully in sea water (heavier than fresh water)!
Yes...I am also here doing "research." (All fkd up statements aside...FK going down that deep in a tin can like that. As it has been said...i hope it is true for their sakes that it was an instant death)
ive seen a tanker in west texas oilfield that was filling a reservoir with brine water it looked like a coke can ..it was smashed in horizontally though...
Impressive... RIMSHOT! I was waiting for the other end to squish to. Has anyone wondered what that infernal noise was. A hypno toad? Almost melted my speaker.
I used to run an aluminum tank like that with crude oil. I forgot to open the vent while filling it with the on board pump. I was wondering why the pump started to make so much noise and BANG, I thought that the tank had exploded but the automatic relief valve did it's job and opened with a bang.
After watching so many videos on the Titan submersible, I feel that am a expert on the subject and should be contacted by a cable news network anytime now.
I did that to a wine tank I forgot to open the lid and started pumping it was more spectacular than that. Picture a 5 story squashed aluminium can. It was my first day.
hahaha i read it wrong i was looking for a explosion and was stunned when i saw people standing around at first i thought they were manaquins for a test until i saw them moving then was suprised again with the implosion hahahaha good video
There is a test situation to show what happens when a tank becomes evacuated or rather experiences negative pressure. There's a much better video of it showing the vacuum gauge, the tank and internal views of the tank as it implodes. Then it's repeated in slow motion. The quality is much better than this one too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0N17tEW_WEU.html
@Funk Enstein I'm impressed! You are a person that efficiently and productively utilizes your life. My dumb ass just stayed here eyes glued to the screen. 😫😧😩
So why aren't these tanks equipped with a burst disc, or some safety relief mechanism to prevent this from happening in the first place? I'm astonished that there hasn't been anyone killed with that kind of setup.
