@@dadeleemurphy85 I guess the wires could end at copper couplings that allow for the connection to stay active while spinning? Wouldn't be a great solution since over time those connections would wear themselves down, but it could work for the short term, depending on where it needs to revolve around
I love how they stated the Triton was perfect for travel...ignoring the fact that no airport would allow you to bring liquid oxygen canisters onto a plane.
I think when they were saying “liquid oxygen” I don’t thing they meant literal liquid oxygen. Just canisters that supposedly filtered oxygen out of water passing through it. Not that it really mattered as it was all delusional BS.
Considering its boiling point is −182.96 °C. It would freeze your lungs solid if you tried to breathe it, unless you had some kind of serious machine to make it breathable like high altitude aircraft.
Yeah whatever it was it probably wasn’t safe to breathe anyway, but it was also such a small amount that it would last 45 minutes so not even on par with scuba gear. Doubtful it was something that turned the oxygen in water via magic, since there’s no technology for this unlike for liquid oxygen, more likely compressed however since it’s something that is safe enough for home use, but anyone that’s seen one of those know that they are not exactly light. Even the oxygen compressors for air aren’t that small, but a no need to replace option for those that need extra oxygen occasionally rather than constantly. Yes there are these machines that can somehow get oxygen out of the air, but air does have more oxygen than water and they aren’t exactly the most portable things and I guess it depends on the model or something how much noise they make in the process. It’s medical equipment for home use and apart from knowing someone that has a machine like that I don’t know the specifics of how it works, only that it didn’t exactly come from Kickstarter but from a hospital and is considered more convenient than having to replace oxygen canisters
The main issue is even if it did work... you can't breathe just pure oxygen. Where are all the other components of the air you need to breathe going to come from.
For those who are wondering, Jeff Batio finally got sentenced on November 16th, 2021. He was given eight years and ordered to pay back $5.77 million dollars to investors.
@Retcon Raider Hahaha funny seeing you here, the internet really is a small place sometimes. Absolutly loved your deep dive on Van Buren, nothing else like it on RU-vid!
Tell me about it. Even if this pseudoscience was still the _intent,_ marketing to the wider audience that it isn't intended for, is the same thing that infomercials do. (A bunch of those products are meant to help the disabled, but there aren't enough disabled people who'd be interested to cover the overhead of manufacturing, so they have to appeal to the laziness of the able-bodied.)
That password USB stick is a prime example of "If isn't broken, don't fix it.", could had use the first working model as the version to mass produced. Then for the next editions, then do those changes.
AAAAAA I was just thinking about that episode! I was wondering if such a thing existed, aaaaaaand it does not. They just nicked the idea from a James Bond movie.
5:45 If I didn't know a thing about Triton, that stupid "1, 3, 5" pack sizing for a piece of gear requiring 2 items would've instantly raised a red flag.
I love the Triton, it's so yoinked directly from sci-fi. The actual mask/gills thing reminds me of the Cerulean Gym episode of Pokemon Indigo League, and the whole "liquid oxygen" thing reminds me of the movie The Abyss. Was obsessed with both as a kid, so seeing the ideas combined cracks me up.
I love video's like this, something they did on the Retsupurea YT-channel too. A whole playlist filled to the brim with the nonsensical, delusional and/ or over-engineered products/ scammers. For me, the highlight was a password-protected cable. To prevent theft. As in, the cable had nothing to prevent theft, only unauthorized use of it.
Those password management scams are so stupid when you have freeware open source programs that can store and sort all your credentials, randomly generate new passwords, store the database in an encrypted file and more.
Nothing like, on top of not delivering on your promises, even rubbing it in reminding your backers that they took a 85% chance of failing when they decided on backing you - truly boss level :)
I actually have a rather nice solution to multiple displays on my laptop I use for school. Unfortunately, RU-vid won't let me link to Amazon in the comments, but it's a portable monitor that's super thin, has a 2K resolution, run off HDMI and the USB-C for power with a wall adapter if needed, and it was $149.99. I don't know how I got through the first semester without it.
Pretty much. From what I've read on the science on this, the temperature has to be low enough that you shiver and it's not going to be enough as a sole method of weight loss.
Adam would have gotten more if he advertised these as comfy summer clothing. In summers like these you hardly need to retain existence to lose weight from all the sweating.
It still amazes me that investors are able to be swindled by scammers pitching shovel ready projects that haven't even got the shovels yet, and they could easily find this out with a little due diligence. It never matters what someone pitching a project says, it only matters what they can show and prove.
Well, it’s obviously not gonna be at atmospheric pressure 😅 although of course roundabout 50K or so less ain’t gonna change much regarding the “nice scam there, bro”-factor!
@@ejedwards988 Forget toxic, liquid oxygen is a highly corrosive neurotoxin that makes steel burn like magnesium and turns asphalt into an impact-sensitive explosive.
i feel like the triton one would actually be cool if it had 2 small air cylinders on the sides. it wouldn't last long but it would be cool to just put it in your mouth and have about 5-10 minutes of underwater fun without having to strap a huge tank on your back
they do have such a thing in real life. they are mini tanks but professional divers warn against them for non certified divers. there are emergency breathing units but they are one time and cost anywhere from 700-1k.
It's a compilation video. He does this while working on new content because when it comes to RU-vid if you don't constantly upload you will stop being recommended sadly :P
That Jeff Batio didn't think that "Dynamic Futurist" quote through did he? The moment you compare yourself to Thomas Edison, you lose all credibility, the guy was a known patent thief.
9:51 My goodness! Everyone's looking for a cheap short cut for losing weight! Just do the work and watch you're eating portions. That normally works unless you have a particular medical condition.
The password one is funny, i wrote a whole password generator in ruby with loads of maths to it and it's fully customizable. easy as can be and didin't think i needed 25k for it.
It would be nice if the cooling clothes were real. There are more than a few engineering issues in making self-cooling clothes which is part of why we don't have them in mass production at this point in time There are plenty of IRL uses for self-cooling clothes beyond increasing your metabolism thinking that will have you lose weight. Everybody remember the Omega Heat Dome on the West Coast of the States? Anybody heard of Fire Fighters? Anybody know of areas of the world where temperatures regularly can get to 50(deg) Centigrade? In the case of weight lost... there is a sign that colder environment can increase your metabolism. The issue is, you are more likely to accidentally put your body into starvation mode by not taking in enough food. Which will result in you GAINING weight, as your body decides it is not getting enough food coming in If you want to lose fat based weight--your best bet is to eat MORE food than usual and then exercise for the reason of being able to do stuff. Don't exercise to change your body shape as your primary goal--you won't get anywhere. Exercise so that you can jog for decent distances, go up stairs without getting winded and carry heavy ass shit. The fat will disappear as you improve your physical abilities. If it doesn't, and you are able to run up and down fifty flights of stairs hundreds of times... you being fat is no longer something to concentrate on But apart from the flawed weight loss idea (you are more likely to put your body into starvation mode via that method and GAIN fat weight)... there are plenty of locations and occupations on the planet that such a product would be very useful to have. I mean... I start to melt when temperatures rise above 25(deg)--I'd love clothes that could keep me okay in sunlight
Where I live, we just got through a brutal and humid heat wave and we're on track to heading straight into another one later this week. The whole time that segment was on I was thinking, "Man, it's too bad that's not real, I would have loved some active cooling insoles at work..."
@@Dargonhuman cooling vests do exist. they either passive in which you soak the clothing in cold water for a period of time or it pumps cold water through tubing and is hooked to a unit. they are in fact use in construction, warehouse work and people that wear mascot clothing. they been around for over a decade, amazon and hardware stores sell the things. they are like 100 bucks min.
Gosh, I thought the Jon K piece you did was like over a year ago or something for some reason. Your foreshadowing of that episode threw me off, and then I saw that this one is only 8 months old. Kinda shows that you've had a pretty good year, content-wise! Great videos! I really liked your Jon K piece, especially as one who feels your pain in regards to Ren and Stimpy. We must remember, as you said in that video, that Ren and Stimpy was made by a *team*, not just one dude who happens to be a child predator. It was a great show.
Google literally provides a completely free and fairly in-depth password manager and considering it's Google it's going to have much better security than most
Honestly, if you just get a little portable USB-C display and a $3 tablet holder, I guarantee you’ll be super happy with your portable dual screen rig. I have to use separate hdmi and power cables for my screen, but it’s still a great setup, and they’re not terribly expensive.
Well sure, but what is the percentage of those kind of people vs douchebags? If you don't know FOR SURE, assume douchebag every time. Douchebag or just in over their head.
The school ads thing actually wasn't done by the military, but rather a marketing company on behalf of the JROTC program, and actually pissed off a LOT of top brass.
I’m not sure how I found your channel. I think it was the Complete History of Splatterhouse. Since then, I have been slowly abusing your channel by eating up anything I can find on it (even having a playlist accidentally run for 8 hours today while I slept). Great channel, great editing, great content, great personality. Very pleased I found you!
It’s insanely dangerous to work out with liquid or ice strapped in contact with your skin like that. Your body changes the way you regulate temperature when your swimming it’s not similar at all plus it’s strapped to you so if you can’t take it off or move enough to warm up you’ll die of hypothermia which can a lot happen faster than you think with ice strapped to your chest.
So another video that's just rehashing old content. You're pushing your subscriber model too hard, and going to lose subscribers. I'd hate to see your channel lose momentum because of it, I loved your old work.
God the ads for those gadgets are just embarassing. Spokesperson, contorting their body in ways it was not meant to while doing something that definitely didn't need that: "Oh my god this is so haaaard, I wish I had an expensive doohickey taking space in my cupboard whose only purpose was to make this task slightly more convenient"
we all know that xentex dual screen laptop now belongs to stuart ashen... he just doesnt realise it's arrived as it's among his many, many other pieces of mail waiting to be opened
the problem with x-in-1 devices is that if it breaks then you lose all of em. I still refuse to buy another hp printer/scanner after the scanner refused to work when the printer part broke.
Soooo.......the Dragonfly is the bastard amalgam of a Surface Duo and a GalaxyFold, with a keyboard, that comes apart? Powered by now-7-year-old hardware? Sounds like it would've been cool-but-also-shit even if it had been real. And yeah, the $800 price tag should've been a hint that it was less-than-legit, unless you take the leap of logic that they would intentionally hemorrhage money on the backer units in order to charge upwards of $2k on the retail model to recoup their losses...
Schools would be like “no phones”, but then put digital displays everywhere that display the school’s logo, and move half their most important parts of their education material to an online service 💀
Thin ice could have done way better if it was marketed as something to keep your feet cool as you walk around in the heat instead of a gimmicky exercise device.
@@v3ck1n I'm from Scotland, him being British isn't an excuse here... Is it maybe laziness on his part for not catching this? Too busy pushing out "compilations" to appease RU-vid algorithms to bother worrying about the quality of his work now?
9:50 I don't understand how you don't live your life in fear of eventually being caught and thus aren't constantly miserable somehow. However rich I got it would be very difficult to enjoy.
i'm assuming the "thin" part of thin ice refers to all of the models demonstrating the technology. you know, a weight loss technology. for losing weight. demonstrated exclusively by thin models.
He does this while working on new content to appease RU-vid's algorithm. I usually just like them and that's it myself or just ignore em until a new video is out. When it comes to RU-vid you need to post constantly or RU-vid will stop recommending your stuff.
