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.
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.
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.
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)
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
We all know why we're here...and this is just an above-sea experiment. If you want a better idea of how it went down, playback the implosion at 2x speed and that's probably closer to how quickly a tiny little vessel caved in under the immense weight of billions of litres of water. Considering the size of the vessel, the weight of ocean, if you could play this back at 3 or 4x speed, that would probably the real accuracy. Milliseconds. My thoughts go out to their families... Before the internet continues its senseless memes and mockery remember that these were good people. These were billionaires using their money to help the planet and people. - Hamish Harding used his wealth to aid in efforts to repopulate species nearing extinction, and extinguish malaria from the world as well as help cure those less fortunate. - Shahzada Dawood used his wealth to start a non-profit organization that strove to give better education to those who couldn't afford it, as well as pushing businesses towards greener, more sustainable means of operation, and helping small businesses establish themselves sustainably and aid them as they went from start-up to fully independent. - His son, Sulemon was only 19 and only went down there to make his dad happy for Father's day. He had a love for sci-fi and wanted to follow his dad's footsteps of using money to benefit people instead of corruption and greed. - Paul Henry-Nargeolet was a decorated navy veteran who had a love for the pursuit of knowledge. He had been down to the titanic over 20 times, and loved researching the wreckage to see how marine life can adapt to man-made structures as well as observe how the ocean "cleans" and degrades something like the titanic over decades. - and lastly, the one who will likely get the most flack for this- Stockton Rush, who should not be remembered illy like any of the others. His excitement and over-eagerness for the exploration and discovery of the abyssal depths of the ocean got the better of him, as he was often ahead of regulation, doing things that pushed the boundary before regulation was often even made. That ambition and thirst for knowledge should not be shunned, but it is tragic that it cost the lives of others in the process. It is a harsh lesson for generations to come. May they be remembered with dignity as all men deserve, and may their families find some peace in this time of mourning such immense loss.
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
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 !!
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)!
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.
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.
Parece que no abrió una valvula a presión en el tanque de alumnio y este implosionó, si no hubiera sido por la valvula automatizada probablemente hubiera sido peor el daño.
The only thing I don't understand is what would expose a truck like that to that much of a vacuum and the more it had in it the harder it would be to do also, so this would only work on a near empty tank or would need huge vacuums to do it.
MrWildbill47 it can happen from extreme temperature Chsnges from inside and outside the tank and from draining the tank without properly venting it. It’s similar to tipping a gallon of milk upside down instead of pouring it. The milk jug eventually collapses
Well,with all due respect Sir,who fucking cares and how come your boss let's the whole damned crew slack off and watch and you gotta film it and answer dumb replys? Your getting bonuses,huh?
