Controlled Demonstration of a Tank Trailer Vacuum Collapse by Wabash National 

it didnt have windows lol

@@1rr3gular Yes it did.

@@1rr3gularlol if it didn’t have windows what would be the point of visiting the titanic?

@@CyVincisome people just don’t think before they talk, he’s a perfect example

@@tyler2k523 indeed

really just 2/3 of an atm, since the internal pressure wasn't a complete vacuum

Unimaginable violence.

At the size of the Titan, the differential in pressure inside and outside has an energy equivalent to almost 50 kilos of TNT.

​@@h.a.9880believe that!

As dramatic and entertaining as it is, this is child’s play compared to that.

Rather topical

Wish Stockton Rush had the same thinking as you

@@Jakob_Fright! I was thinking the same think. Came here to se what implosion looked like after the submersible tragedy.

Thankyou for saving others life

You should have been running Ocean Gate

Also happened to me and I almost jumped of where I was sitting when it happened

You know what's going to happen (somewhat) but not the timing. Holywood movie producers and editors could learn a lot from these events in building the suspense, before making people jump in their seats.

@authorization batman Yeah and I didn't ask you to comment on my comment.

That’s probably what happened to the Titan while it was looking for the titanic.

@@southwaco23 I heard that the glass window was only rated to 1,300 meters and Titanic rests at 3,800 meters. That doesn’t bode well for implosion.

Can't emagine how powerful the implosion was

​@@mr.nothing008i wonder how strong it was for real

Pounds of pressure is pounds of pressure tho right regardless if its air or water (or rock ect.) right? Or I think maybe youre saying there are many more pounds of pressure at 12,000+ feet deep underwater.

Dude you have a good eye dam you are good seeing things

I said the same thing that guy jumped as high as the trailer did 🤣🤣🤣🤣 the guy in the jeans and white shirt…

yup, the inside view is what they saw (for a brief millisecond).

And also de sub was made of carbon fiber, which would shatter and expose the tripulation into those pressures directly and instantly

@@sergiofonseca2285 1atm/30ft

@@phillyphil1513they didn’t even see it even 🥲 it compressed so fast their eyes didn’t have the chance to register movement before they were eviscerated.

Literally turned into a red mist in a fraction of a second. Wouldn’t have even been enough left for sea creatures to feast on.

hmmmm never heard of it

Yeah, I’m sorry, the what?

At least 5 people didn't

Nope, Mythbusters revisit.

I did

Instablaster

It seems the tanker was still in incredibly good condition. It should have continued its service life for many more years. It is going to cost a lot to recycle it. What was a waste of a good tanker. I hope something better was made out of the metal, or at least a tanker made from it.

Tank may have a partition at the middle

@@rex_schd Petrol, diesel, and chemical tankers have partitions. Food grade transport stainless tankers do not have partitions for ease of sanitation. I wonder if this tanker was for food grade transport, like milk, or for chemical or fuel transport. It looks like the camera can see the other end.

It didn’t hold vacuum it was destroyed

Also, being metal. Carbon fibre/epoxy would have sent shrapnel all over the place.

I enjoyed the last scene showing the guys in the crowd jump, just as it made me jump while sitting on my couch.

Also, it’s “only” one atmosphere of pressure.

Not quite: Titan was much higher pressure differential and thus imploded much faster. You can see the implosion progress slowly between frames of these (presumably ~30 FPS) cameras, whereas an implosion at depth is over between one frame and the next.

You don't think things like this has been accounted for?

@@albertjackinson they haven't

@@joemama7236 You're sure about that...?

@@albertjackinson yuh you would need the tube to be much thicker it's much harder to hold negative pressure than positive pressure and you would need a vaccum pump about every 10 meters

@@joemama7236 Do you actually have information on the proposed design and expected leak rate for the hyperloop? This kind of stuff is pretty basic engineering, that's been done for MANY years and is not where the real technical challenges are. Otherwise, you're more or less saying that submarines are a lie. They can handle many atmospheres from the outside.

😄 Wut it wuz that you done thar, I seen it... 😄 🇺🇸

That happened to one submarine of the argentine navy, ARA San Juan. It imploded at 800mts depth i think, was so powerful that seismographs more than one thousand miles away picked up the implosion.

Imagine being in a tin can in "space" the lunar command modules are made out of aluminum. They would be crushed it's -14.7 pressure per square inch in "space" they would be dead. Nasa lies.

this is surely the fate of USS Thresher (Navy sub that imploded in 1963)

this is also the outcome, possibly, of that Oceangate titanic-exploring mini-sub that is in the news now too :/

This aged well.

No, it's the vacuum

@@behemothinferno no.. He's correct.. it's the weight of the atmosphere pushing in from the outside trying to equalize. IF you pumped the air out of it in space nothing would happen. Because there is no atmospheric pressure difference.

@@behemothinferno Vaccuum is an absence of atmosphere. It is nothing. It can do nothing.

@@behemothinferno Put the same container on Mount Everest, or in orbit, vacuum all the air inside and you'll see nothing will happen.

This really makes you realize how much atmospheric pressure there is that the human body resists

I literally couldn’t imagine man. That’s why I’m here I wanted to get an idea. The fact that it’s 1000x more violent this was. Sheesh

Do you mean imploders?

Not only that, but with weaker material as well No way they'd feel any pain nor know they were about to die

5000 psi.

+plasmawisp It was almost two ATM.

Anton Zuykov exactly as he said. you are removing air from inside. a perfect vacuum is 0 atmosphere. you cannot create a "negative" atmosphere that means what is pressing in is the atmosphere of earth Ie 1 atmosphere.

We are talking about P = ~~100 000 pa after all. Lets say the length of the cylindrical part is is 13 meters and the radius of the tank is 1.5 meters. If we approximates the ends as flat then the area would then be... A = pi*r^2 + 2pi*r*d Where r = ~1.5 m and d = ~13 m. The total area would be something like A = ~130 m^2. Multiply the area with the pressure and you get the total force on the tank. F = A*P = ~13.000.000 N (N for newton). If your weight is 100 Kg then you would normally experience a force of ~982 N due to gravity.

14.7 psi = 760.2095 torr Outer Space = 10^-7 torr Do you still believe a hole in the ISS wouldn't instantly scrunch it like a tin can? You want to plug the vacuum hose with your finger? Think cloth Kapton tape and glue over the vacuum hose would stop this tanker from collapsing?

@@Wildcat5181 no its not two ATM, its only 3/4 ATM. 1 atm(14.7 psi) is 29.9 inch of Mercury, .768 atm(11.3 psi) is 23 inch of mercury. 2 Atm is 60inches of mercury.

F for your sponge cake

No, it's only about 14.7psi at sea level, the pressure of the OCEAN at great depth is enormous.

Do these tanks ever explode from being pressurized too much? Any idea what the PSI limit is before it would explode?

@@vindictii Liquid tankers, like this one, would overflow before a structural failure could occur

@@thomasvlaskampiii6850 by overflow do you mean leak from somewhere? Wondering how much pressure I can pump into a tank like this before any leaks. I want to use an old one as a compressed air energy storage system

@@vindictii If you're putting a liquid into a trailer like the one in the video, it will take more liquid than it is designed to hold before it fails. I have no idea how much air pressure a tank like this can hold. It's not designed to be air tight so air will probably leak before you can get it to a high enough pressure for it to explode

@@thomasvlaskampiii6850 ahh ok i thought it was air tight. Good to know, thanks!

Pending on what type of waste product. Some you air-off, pump off, and vacuum off with a blower. If it's flammable you pump off, that being said....... OPEN THE HATCH WHEN USING POSITIVE DISPLACEMENT PUMP. OR YOUR TANK WILL DO THAT.

Delta p?

Except - would've been 380 times more powerful. The most painless death possible.

This tank collapsing at 14 PSI vs Titan at 5800 PSI. So... they didn't. They just became literally *juice* without getting a single electrical pulse to their brain to realize it.

There really is no comparison. This is just to give you a visual of what it could be. Imagination can do the rest

The reality is mind bending. There was a lot of fuel involved.

This alone is hellish enough. Imagine 400 times more violent. Yikes

They Need the Slow Mo Guy filming this

I have a vacuum lumber dryer and the interior is held at 7 Two8 inches of vacuum What does that correlate to what I just saw here? My chamber is half inch stainless with reinforced outer framing . It must be extreme overkill its designed for 0 vacuum. I'm trying to figure out how thin of metal I could go with.

Underrated comment.

Much appriciated

Thankyou, kind Sir.

How is that saving time?

You need to know that information for class.

dont remember it

Yup, fast.

would be even worse, whole submarine squeezed into a cube or pancake. Plus bodies explode when pressure changes rapidly.

I think that has more to do with thermal expansion/contraction right? Going from hot to cold would DECREASE the pressure inside as the atoms would slow down.

​@@codyj9983Ya that's the point. It would decrease the pressure inside the tank and cause a partial vacuum inside the tank.

365 times...this was 1atm pressure....titan was equivalent to 365 atm.

400x that pressure differential.

it was much worse, about 400x worse, because pressure was 400x higher than atmospheric

Hyperloop will not operate in a complete vaccum. Also, the pod traveling within the "tube" will be pressurized. A lot safer than a catastrophic compromise of an aircraft's hull 35,000 feet.

But its not a vacuum tanker! Its a DOT 407, I believe. At least what it appears like to me.

@@Tron-Jockey Here's perspectives.They said they brought the inside of the container to endure 10.5 PSI of outside pressure before it collapsed. So the inside was at around 4.2 PSI. The outside PSI level at 35,000 feet is about 3.46 PSI. So they were only at the equivalent of about 31000 feet or 65% vacuum. Hyperloop plans for the inside of the tube to be the equivalent of 200,000 feet in the air or 99.9% (near vacuum). It gets exponentially harder the closer you get. They would need to build something more complex than the triple vacuum system at Cern which has over 3500 pumps and isn't big enough to transport a Lego figurine through it.

@@Tron-Jockey I also believe you misunderstand the "compromise of a high altitude catastrophe. At 35,000 feet they only have the inside to around 11.3 PSI to normalize the outside pressure which is 3.46 PSI. So the pressure is actually the inside pushing out. If there's a rupture, as long as the initial rupture doesn't break a piece of the structure vital to flying the aircraft you're fine. There's only 1 issue... breathing. This is why oxygen masks fall down during a rapid depressurization. The breathable air all went out and the new air is too thin to breath the higher you are, 35,000 feet you only have 15-30 seconds before you pass out. I'd take the 15-30 seconds to put on the oxygen mask vs instantly crushed.

lol near vacuum is way less air pressure than the air at 35000 feet even a quick google could have told you that this wasn't even close to a vacuum when it collapsed

They are called baffles. food grade tanks that need to be cleaned don’t have internal baffles, because it makes them too hard to clean properly. From what I understand, tank trailers without baffles must be driven more carefully to minimize the effects of undamped sloshing. BTW, I am not a CDL holder.

@@keithalaird Thank you! That is the informaton I was looking for!

@@keithalaird I'm baffled by your comment. I must not be food grade.

That is a lot of vacuum. Exceeded 22 PSI...

I suppose it was only a matter of time before people would be coming here for this very reason..

they will have reinforcement

@@twasbrillig33 so does the trailer

​@@mrmaniac3 less than a unvoming tunnel with no weight restrictions

it's only 14 psi lol

You're not the brightest...
