How 29,000 Lost Rubber Ducks Helped Map the World's Oceans 

Honestly, saw the Everygreen ship and thought "It was you guys again?!"

I think the ship was actually renamed the evergiven which I don't bring up to say you're wrong; only to say that it's a really dumb name for a ship.

@@Zoroaster4 evergreen is the company that owns those ships

@@bauhiniafolia9673 Oh that makes sense why the side of it said evergreen. Still kinda a dumb name for a ship and shipping company.

​@@Zoroaster4 Nah, Evergreen Marine Corporation is owned by the Evergreen group which is basically a conglomerate with many kinds of businesses and not just ships.

Yes

Half as Interesting nobody thinks this is stupid!! We love your humor, wit, and videos! They teach us fun things and we enjoy watching

Half as Interesting Keep it that way

Don't worry me man. Love from Perú

What does Deadpan mean?

The aliens are

Half as interesting, twice as fun.

According to the Sam (the narrator) , it is supposed to mean "Half as interesting as Wendower Productions". Which is his main channel.

But this episode is only half interesting as usual- it is quackter as interesting! I am so sad, that no one will see this joke because I am too late :_(

@@syriuszb8611 I've seen it lol, don't be sad XD

@@quellamasputacchione1126 thanks!

hatsjer I'm saltier than him

hatsjer 350th like!

new cs:go series , who’s saltier

Sorry, I'm the saltiest out there.

says the dead sea

Same

" but Im saltier " Lol😄😄

INDEED

Half As Interesting, I have an idea, an episode about either the Seven Summits, and climbing them, OR an episode about the world's most Prominent Peaks vs the Tallest peaks

No, it is way too much. The content is interesting enough

Shivam Mhaskar Yes, every child knows that football fields evade gravity.

seems legit

Right, how do you measure that? Is it the weight of the grass? What about the land below the grass? I thought that was a really odd comparison.

Prolly some shit involving physics, architecture and engineering was done, idk.

You're just gonna keep milking these jokes as long as you can, aren't you?

Why no reply

what old saying

+1

turns out nobody care this

@@fakestory1753 those who get triggered by this are banned from using RU-vid

um... note that it was still a british colony in those days, and most HKers prefer it over the current chinese regime

KarlosBricks Well, no one knows unless we do a referendum.

*MIYYYE TOOOUU*

Wendover Productions is the main channel

Me too

He has another channel??? 🤔🤔🤔😉😜😜

lol

No evergreen is the company, the ship that blocked the canal was the “EverGiven” this ship was named “GodSpeed”.

@@WuzzyYT The ship was named godspeed, but it was owned by Evergreen.

@@jordanmaker6444 Evergreen ships 70% of world trade of course it’s going to be them

haha

Hong kong fortune cookies

Amen

What about 41 or more,i hear its good

@@chuahseongteik4488 turns out that the ship does something called a "cap size" If I were you I'd only do that if I was playing a fallout game (where the currency is caps)

So it goes…

When boats fly.

*Oh...*

[This is a message from the Crew at SimCo.] We do not know if this will get through, but you are in a simulation. 1996 and 2020 is high ping. There was never meant to be viruses and anything that we’ve seen. Sorry if this upsets you.

uh oh the brits got ekranoplans

Suez canal*

But, as they say, not as bad as your ship rolling 40 degrees to the side.

DysnomiaFilms Oh, fuck off. That was horrible XD

Kingsunniexviii get out.

Depends how far you count downwards.

But is that natural or artificial weight? 🤔

very cool.

ABaumstumpf who is paying again?

If relay stations across the ocean and all other stuff can be set up as easy as you conceived, that MH370 plane won't be lost in the first place. GPS devices can only receive data from satellites, not sending. Antennas and relay stations just don't work that way. A satellite sender will cost way more than rubber ducks (just check out satellite phones on ebay), even we can't have all airplanes equipped with instant satellite senders. Great idea, but it just doesn't work. Btw, we can already predict currents quite well, so we wouldn't need that either.

What if animals die because they tried to eat the sensors ?

Udocard qaywsx - as i said, research facilities and cargo companies would certainly be interested. 闫恩铭 - they ARE that easy nowadays. You do not need a lot of bandwidth as even just hourly transmissions would be enough. GPS positioning is cheap - do not mix it up with GPS communication where there has to be an active connection. Nowadays you can get GPS modules for under 10€ a piece, add to that a small dedicated chip, a solar cell and a transmitter and with high production volume needed you end up with maybe 10€ for one finished sensor. now add to that a few relay stations that pick up the slow position data to send it back to a main station and you have your self a system. LoRa and similar provide methods to send data over several hundred kilometers - we do not need high bandwidth, just the range, and even with small solar cells we got more than enough power for that. Even covering something as large as the Atlantic wouldn't be that hard to do. You might need 100 000 sensors, with deployment and everything else considered it certainly will cost more than few millions - but on the other hand that would be enough to accurately measure all currents of an ocean at once. You could also do it with fewer and just measure parts of it at once and use them over a longer period of time. btw - this is nothing new. You can see something similar being used on many mountains to measure seismic activity, rainfall, daylight, or if the hill is moving/slipping. what i am suggestion is just scaling it up a bit. For ocean currents you don't need that tight measurements but you have longer distances. I have experience with those systems, i know people that worked on the design of such systems, even somebody that worked on a radar-software to track passive flying minisensors that can be dropped into hurricanes to measure them. there are already many fields that do similar things - i am merely suggesting to change the approach to measure the oceans.

Those modules could cost a few bucks each

Chrischi4598 fuel efficiency brah u got some?

The A350 is better. FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

#duckconspiracy

it opened

Agreed!

afootineachworld 🅱️roke*

They didn't have any holes, so even if the container sunk, and then broke, they would still float up

xpvpc001 when the ducks were shipped Hong Kong was still owned by the UK

Caraxian Nah, that doesn’t matter. They will get angry easily on trivial matters when it’s Hong Kong or Taiwan related

Yeah i was trying to find some chinese scub too

Hi Chinese scrub :)

But strangely not nearly as often when Macau-related.

Hi again

Geezus, why do you have to comment on every damn science video? =______= it's like you're aiming for internet comment fame/attention or some shit...

I've seen your comments before

Randomz Gaming hi! 😊

SirChocula // I see ur comments everyday lmao you fucking hypocrite

NBK Srbija 🤣

Pyotr Alexeyevich Kropotkin don't blame him, blame that wacky animator

Lol i live in cali around the west coast

It wasn't the same ship Evergreen is the company that owns the Ever Given amd the ship on the video. So a related ship but not the same one

No evergreen is the company, the ship that blocked the canal was the “EverGiven” this ship was named “GodSpeed”.
