The canal blockage in 2021 was no accident. We can launch things & people into space but we can't get a ship unstuck for a week in the only bottleneck in that part of the world?🤔🤥
Russia has had a need for ice breakers all along. That I know of, they only have a couple large ports that remain ice free all year. With the Black Sea being highly contested at this time, Russian shipping is under even more pressure.
Thanks for this! I only knew about crushing the ice with the weight of the ship. I had no clue about the other methods, nor the combinations thereof. I appreciate you including some up and coming ships that are under construction.
Im curious how much ice breakers aid in melting sea ice. Im assuming it's negligible compared to climate change, but i also wouldnt be suprised if that assumption could be wrong.
I have a similar concern with the rockets.they send through the atmosphere..thousands. doesn't it compromise the protection from the rays from space..?
Small amount just due to how large ice sheets are and that they would likely refreeze after the shup passes. One of the bigger issues scientists are worried about (atleast if we start doing more shipping through the arctic) is black carbon from diesel exhaust scattering onto large areas of glaciers, changing albedo of the ice, and making it melt faster.
hi im faris hilmi from sarawak. im a admirsl general of sarawak royal army. im very interested in this tank of yours and would like to buy one with my skibiddi dollars
It's probably not practical and someone has surely already thought this idea but I wonder- what if you had a second hull for the front breaker end that could retract when not breaking ice or the opposite- it retracts when not in the open Sea, so you can reshape the front for optimal ice-breaking and open sea travel. Of course, I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about beyond this video- so I'm just throwing poo at the wall :P
There were no Ice breakers until a few hundred years ago. The ice caps were never broken since the beginning of time, now there are 1000's of ice breakers and the caps never rest. And we ask were their shrinking? 😒
This video/channel would benefit greatly from a more dynamic/professional narrator. The information's interesting but it's delivered extremely dead-pan.
im pretty sure that this is a well trained Ai model due to some random stressing on certain words and a lot of random breaks in speech (probably in a attempt to imitate taking a breath) or some human with the most monotone and dead pan voice i have ever heard
@11:47 warning of globull warning. al gore said in 2009 that all arctic ice would be gone by 2013. fake video. trying to convince people there still is arctic ice.
Why don’t they have some sorts of wheels in the front so when the boat climbs onto the ice it can sort of pull itself along on the front wheels. Would be so much more efficient!
@@divoulos5758 1. Wheels wouldnt colide they just roll on the ice where it is not broken yet 2. Two spinning wheeels is literally 2 electic motors and two wheels and maybe some sort of piston that you can lift the thing when not in use. Thats literally almoast no maitanance and an insane amount of fuel savings your point is not valid at all.
@themomorain if you think what i think you think then this thing will get constantly stuck after breaking a piece of ice since the wheel pushing ice down would hit the next ice plate and then stop
How do you know what I think is the way they break ice? I already know how an ice breaker "works", so your video title is a straight forward lie. 🤷🏻♂️
@@JokrMetaa oh I got the joke, I just wanted to point that out. You know us Navy guys like to be technical not all of us scored a 10 on the ASVAB.🤪 Go Navy
You are out of date! Swedish icebreakers have propellers at the front which suck and smash the ice. 1 bridges, one in front, and 1 in back. Also hover craft were used - again pulling the air out-put one in front of ship.
