Thanks for noticing it was very hard. I walked through the water with my clothes in my hands. Then took turns balancing on each foot while carefully putting my clothes on. No you cant get a video!
Sometimes I'm not so sure whether he actually wants to help the animals in his backyard or is just happy about the opportunity to use them as free test dummies.
8:34 It has been a while since I've laughed as hard as I did watching this part. Joke worked perfectly. I was JUST thinking to myself "Seems a bit dangerous to put electronics directly connected to an outlet in a pool that you are currently swimming in." *abrupt cut to complete silence just staring at a corpse.*
That would imply that there would be frog corpses in the pool too. Plugged in electronics while in a water source would electrocute them and everything else that touches the water.
It's so funny when he finally resigns to his fate and builds the obvious solution. We have the same problem in our pool the frogs and other stuff drown themselves like crazy. They actually make cheap frog ladders you can buy. That's what we got it's just a tiny sandbag holding it to the side then a little water mesh and ramp for them to get out it works great. Now instead of 15 drowned frogs everyday there's basically none
There's basically none Basically none BASICALLY NONE 0_O I'm just trying to imagine how dumb a frog has to be to literally be drowning and running out of strength, and instead of heading to the obvious big exit area where they can climb up they just kind-of stay where they are and just give up on life, I guess? At that point I wouldn't even chalk it up to the pool. They just saw a way out and let the depression take them!
@@elisaa9981 We always close our pool cover every night. They sneak under there's nothing you can do. After we got the little sandbag exit though there has been zero dead frogs though this year. We used to have to run to rescue them but now the pool is entirely clean
@@dracocrusher well, while they could jump, there is still water over the “big exit area” and they would have nothing to push off of and jump. Also they could even miss that it’s there. They are small ig
insulated wire and usually any GFI or junction boxes we put or have been put poolside have low voltage for vacuums and lights to be run. also helps because theres no risk of us electrocuting ourselves in a wetsuit since it trips itself at the breaker if wet.
@@mattymerr701 yea thats what i meant when i said it would trip itself at the breaker i guess its called switch box down under haha. but what i was getting at is in FL, we gotta put transformers for any *new* light installs. And usually if we have to put a GFI near the pool for the clients robotic cleaner or something we put another transformer.
I once lived in Costa Rica, and once we rented a property with a pool. We never swam in that pool. For a pretty good reason too. The pool was filled with dead poisonous frogs that drowned themselves. It was pretty sad for all the frogs, and unfortunate for us as well, as we couldn't swim in the pool. We prbly could've used a thing like what you built
That ramp robot was absolutely ingenious. The way that the hinge bobs in perfect timing with the water? Can't believe you didnt show more of the coding and hard work behind that final product!!
@@morimomento5258 Yup we used to have a very out of commission hot tub which had one of those solid lids and it definitely turned into fermented frog and slug soup
A couple years ago, I went to a lake with some relatives. We stayed at a cabin and there was a pool. In the pool, I found a bunch of frogs stuck in the filters just whirling around, caught in what looked like seaweed. I tried to pull them out and some were still alive, but for some reason, a lot of them kept hopping right back into the pool. I spent a little over an hour trying to get them all out, but they still kept going back in. And then I noticed a bumble bee drowning, so I used my swimming noodle to scoop it up and slid it off on the edge of the pool. It just sat there, breathing hard. And then it eventually flew away. And then I went back to catching frogs for a while before I got called in for dinner…there were other kids trying to help me get them out of the pool, but sadly, a lot of frogs died that day… :(
get a frog log for swimming pools. as someone that works for a pool maintenance company, i can assure you they work well. the customers that buy them and have one or more in their pool always have far less to no dead critters in the pool. they cant cost much more than 10 dollars for one. most people have 2 or 3 stationed around the pool, so any tiny animal can make an easy exit
I like how each machine you make is super complicated and extreme and at the end you just show the most effective method being a simple ledge that allows the frogs to climb onto the edge of the pool that probably only took you five minutes
I love how you went over the top creating weird machinery when in fact the only humane way is something (anything) along the principles of your last and final solution. 😂 Very entertaining, thanks for being kind and saving wildlife. ❤️
I was literally thinking "that can't be safe! one nick in the wire and you'll get electrocuted!" 3 seconds later...unconscious man floating face down in the pool! Your humor is the best part of your videos.
I interpreted that joke as he was mad because of the rain ruined his project and he off'd himself 😅😂 but comedy has a bunch of different ways to look at it I suppose
Just discovered this video today and I can say that this really uplifted my mood so much, I love frogs and you're really talented! I laughed so hard at some parts especially the que of the music after saying wet at 4:46 🤣
Mainly because in suburbs, the pure destruction of landscape [ including bodies of water ] forces these amphibians to go to any and every body of water to survive, I.e, pools and garden ponds. The issue is they can’t get out due to the rim and they get sucked into the filter. Two solutions, put a grate on your filter and get a Frog Log
@Hey Dislike This Video & Leave A Rude Comment It's rich to call yourself an artist if you have zero integrity and solely depend on bad traffic to get any views at all, pathetic. Instead of using popular media and hate as a crutch try to make something original you're actually passionate about, find your thing instead of relying on trends. If you love to make music that is, if you're just a sellout you won't make it big anyway, so do whatever I guess.
We had a mouse plague about a year ago, we were meant to kill them all but I lived in a shed with fkall so I gave them increasingly difficult tricks to get to the sunflower seeds, and saw 3-4 families of mice quarrelling over the knowledge and older ones teaching the timid babies, so hard to kill them once you've seen their hard work and loyalty and bravery to their family
despite them drowning, i think another reason why they could be dying is because they breath through their skin so absorbing all that chlorine might be harming them. Dont worry you did great and im glad your trying to protect them! i just am saying this so you dont need to feel bad if you feel like you cant save them. great video overall!
Imagine the amount of times he had to dry off his apron during the filming of this video, just so he could get yet another shot of him in a dry apron diving/falling into the pool again.
This actually a LOT like how I design things. I like to spend a LOT of time making a super overcomplicated solution then usually "scale ot back" to the simplest solution later. Classic
Imagine being a frog going for a swim in a weird looking pond, and suddenly something floats over and catapults you into a bush Way funner than just making a small floating ramp
I can't explain how incredibly fun and entertaining your videos are. The random, completely unpredictable humor you sprinkle into your very wholesome and informative animal/tinkering videos makes every upload my best experience of the day. Love your work!
I had a bunny almost drown in my pool. I bought a few "Frog logs" that help. It is pretty much like your wool ramp, but there is a bottom and it has air. The birds and rabbits love to use them to drink now.
@@Domebuddy I wonder the SAME thing. I want to get a bird bath with an under water feeder. But, I am in the desert. It will dry from full in a day. I always feel bad seeing them drink it... But it isn't meant for them to drink...
@@Ididathing I like to think that theres tons of off-screen resurrections in the other videos, this was was just particularly irritating so you left it in
what i appreciate about his content the most is it is always about the journey to the final product, because most, if not all the time, the final product doesnt really work at all.
I used to live at a house that had a pool with a frog problem. They weren’t dying in it. Rather the problem was that they kept *spawning* in it. Little tadpoles in the pool every spring
Theres something called a "frog log" that basicly hangs off the side of your pool and allows the froggos and other critters to climb out. I've seen it in my friends pool and it really worked! Frogs climbed out and no longer died.
I just googled this and it looks great. In fact I was amazed at how many pictures there are of multiple creatures congregating on the frog log...If I had a pool, let alone a garden I would buy two of them!
That was a really nice long shot with zero movement showing how dangerous it is to drop mains power cable into a pool. All in all, great informational video, as always!
For sure never do that if you're in an old house with no circuit breakers. If you plug a toaster into a wall then sit in a tub and put the toaster in the tub with you, the 15 AMP breaker will trip instantly once the short happens so you will get 120V infinite current for like 1 millisecond and it doesn't work anymore. They patched that because too many people were committing suicide with it and God is not into suicide.
The support elastic is so elegant. It helps the servo exactly when it needs to, when the elastic is perpendicular to the servo horn. Really good thinking mate.
i was searching for a comment about this, the support elastic has me a little confused. how does it keep the servo turning when it loosens and is no longer pulling on it? does it only have to pull it past a certain position?
We have a pool too and based on how sensitive frogs are, and how they breathe through their skin, I'm inclined to believe that the chemicals used to maintain pools also contribute to the problem.
Yeah, you see the bit in the video when he said chlorine isn't good for frogs skin, something obvious like that yeah? But just repeated and written like a school report. That kind of thing?
"No, I'm not murdering them. They just keep drowning themselves and I have no idea why." -- me when the pool ladder mysteriously disappears at my sim's house party
When it's breeding season for the frogs you should make a specialised tank for the tadpoles it would be pretty cool. *edit Thanks for all the likes-however I didn't mean the tadpoles were from the pool. I remember he had a small pond but the frogs were wiped out by water skinks. I meant that he could make something similar, but see-through kind of like a shabby chic version of serpa-design maybe? So you can see the tadpoles developing, but they are safe from cats, birds and water skinks.
@@ladyinsect6444 Sure, because that's the water that is available. But if they come across a nice body of water in their travels they'll happily use it for breeding. We had a small spring at our cabin and dammed it to create about a half acre of pond. It was full of frogs in a single season. Was full of fish within a few years and eventually gained a family of otters. I know the fish usually arrive in such bodies of water as eggs stuck to ducks and other water foul, but I have no clue how the otters found it!
I don't have anything as grand as a pool, and I prefer low-tech 100 percent of the time when it will do the job (your video kinda demonstrates why LOL) but I bend old cheap silverware into an upside down U, scratch it up a bit with sandpaper or even a rock so tiny things can grip, and stick it hooked over the side of any containers (potted plants, cat water dish, etc) in my yard that might hold water. It's like a Sims game ladder but for bugs and little lizards, lol. It can even look quite nice IMO if you use a pretty thrift-store piece with a nice handle. Got too sad seeing the little babies had passed away when all they wanted was a drink. I also set up an old decent-sized pot under an AC drip with rocks propping it (and yes a spoon Sims ladder heh) just so that the drips fill it but then the overflow runs down the handle onto a rock: Big babies can drink out of the pot, little babies can land on the rock or handle or creep up to the ground underneath in the summer heat, without dying! Anybody who gets it wrong or doesn't stick their landing can hopefully climb out! I'm kind of in the country so I might get almost anything, and very SOUTH so it gets hot QUICK and somebody's cat or dog that snuck out might find this lifesaving during the worst of summer. I love feeling less crazy when I see other people caring about that sort of kindness, even to tiny things most people would scream about or just murder for no reason. NOBODY deserves to die just for being thirsty!
I work at a pool, the amount of frogs I’ll find in the skimmers is insane. The amount of them that float (or if alive, jump) over and get sucked into the vacuum port and into the hair lint strainer in the pump room is actually horrific, they’re usually torn to shreds cause of pressure and shit and honestly I’ll never get that image from my head lol
@@UnsaltedCashew38 not that simple as The vacuum port is supposed to pick up the leaves and sticks and stuff that gets past the skimmer basket, if we put a net it would clog the port (when skimmers clog, water doesn’t circulate, filter, or chlorinate as well as it should) and defeat the whole purpose of it in the first place Also for reference, the vacuum port in a skimmer is usually no larger than a small tennis ball
I really love how this could easily be solved by purchasing some sort of net to cover the pool but he chose to do the brilliantly chaotic and ingenious method. This is top tier content 😂
Those can run upwards of 3 grand, it's actually ridiculous. Here in canada they go bad in a few years as well, it's possible they'd last longer in australia but still it's hefty.
0:38 And I want to place my bet now before the video officially kicks off. I think that I did a thing is more likely going to increase his pools wildlife kill count by accidentally improving it's murder abilities. I genuinely think he wants to save the slimy critters, I just know that after idk how many videos, that he is a bundle of pure chaos energy + wholesomeness. It seems every time he's trying to help, something always ends up decapitated/close to being decapitated/ripped to shreds/or missing some key portion of itself 💖 I love him for his pure chaotic wholesome energy, not because the results always lend themselves to the original intent.
I was screaming internally when I saw you getting into the pool with a live wire, and then you showed why a line powered robot in a pool is not such a great idea, even with GFCI outlets.
@@xXMindSoulXx ground fault circuit interrupter. They’re the outlets with the little “reset” buttons on them that you find in kitchens and bathrooms. Basically, the outlet opens if there is a ground fault, like, say, a hair dryer that’s fallen into water. They significantly reduce the likelihood of death by electrocution by opening the circuit (cutting off electric current) when too much electricity goes through, so a person may still receive a shock, but the outlet cuts the power soon enough that they can survive.
Having a longer ,partially submerged ramp,with side skirts would help a lot tired animals. Knowing that they try to escape by swimming the whole pool perimeter,so by arrriving sideways to your floating ramp. I would have installed two of them,one in the sun,and one in the shadow.
Yeah. Frogs like lily pads though. Just leave some floaties that size, like cut pads outta yoga mats or whatever and they'll hop from one to another and out; or at least rest until someone rescues them. Chlorine though, - you need ozone. Everything can drink that water then, no carcinogens, always clean, less long-term expenses.
@@darkmadder9897 yeah but there was lizards and such in there too, a ramp of some sort would be the most helpful for every kind of animal that gets in there
I have horses, and with horses come large water troughs. We usually put a window screen in there to avoid deaths in the summer. Not just to save the animals, but also because dumping 200 gallons is really not good for our backs, the pasture, or the water bill.
After seeing you floating on water... Can you create some shoes to walk on water, thats literally a childhood dream of mine xD would be could to see what can u come up with
@@realeyes4734 I mean he was definitely implying something along the lines of shoes that are extra buoyant.. he wasn’t saying make literal Jesus shoes. Also little added bonus here, that myth busters episode wasn’t entirely about whether or not you could make something that could walk on water, but was based off a video of a man running (important detail) across a lake like the Jesus lizard does.
@@realeyes4734 water jet pushing out equivalent PSI to the force you impart on the water, theoretically possible, but highly impractical hence why it’s “impossible”
The first idea I thought of was floating water Lilly pads that would swim to the edges of the pool. Frogs would swim to those triggering them to go to the side, once the frog jumps off, the Lilly pads swim back to the middle.
Why does it have to go back to the middle? Frogs will follow the edge of the pool anyways, a ramp like he made at the end is an obvious and decent solution.
yes, those lily pads would be great. now add a root-like weight that'll reach the bottom of the pool. and to ensure that the lily pad stay one the sides on of the roots will have a suction cup to the side of the pool. NOW TRADEMARK THAT, SELL IT CLOUDYBRAIN
When I see your videos full of birds, cute frogs and lizards I think of Australia as a beautiful place full of peaceful and nice animals. Then I remember the 5 meter long spiders and the cat-eating sand-worms.
I like people with long brain. I have long amount of disl*kes btw. Why? Maybe people with short brain disl*ke because jealous of my long amount of subscr*bers. Please have long brain, dear nn
@@proloycodes he doesnt have the power to do so? thats how. imagine if he had the power to block/delete a users comments. he could then delete yours too. i dont think that would be fair, would it
@@pvic6959 he can delete comments wdym? blocking people from commenting is entirely possible. the real reason is its damn hard to block every single bot, theres just too many and they get new accounts all the time
Imagine your in the kitchen and frogs start flying against the window and you check what it us and there's this water catapult that shoots frogs out of the neighbours pool NAAAAH BRO THIS GUY I LOVE HIM 😭😭😭
I love the energy of inventing unnecessarily complex things just for the sake of inventing them, this is the genuine spirit of being a mad scientist. Whenever I read books about the renaissancemen and victorians doing goofy ass off the wall obscure experiments or building insane niche contraptions and like 90% of them just living their whole lives being crotchety weirdos chasing down science nobody needs but 10% stumble into some actual breakthrough I always wonder "why don't people still do this kind of 'just because I felt like it/thought it would be cool' science" and then I remember that oh people definitely do they're just all on youtube entertaining us in the process. Tbh a lot of those mad inventors and experimenters wrote lots of whacky books and essays on their work and I wonder how many people back then read and kept up with those for entertainment
@@Sarah-ic4yu Da Vinci Just straight up designed a prototype tank (which did not work) and a bunch of flying machines, from a helicopteresque aerial screw to a hang glider with flapping wings (most of which did not work). It's all very interesting, the renaissance truly was a utopia for insane off the wall ideas
I mean there are also plenty of engineers trying all sorts of wacky stuff too, but they either get ridiculed if it doesn't work or the idea gets attributed to some CEO if it does. At least on RU-vid its not quite so lose-lose.
Finally someone who cares about frogs instead of squahing them into a messy pulp cuz frogs are next-level cute. Look at their eyes. Their little frickin eyes. And the way they swim is just funny. Oh and theyre animals nonetheless, dont squash froggies
