What happens when you try to stop the Atlantic with a dam? 

2022 Thank you for sharing this ! I'm 53 and this made me feel like a kid again. The excitement brings a smile to my face. I really enjoy watching your videos. Even at my age I still love to play in the creeks and rivers and build dams . Hello from East Tennessee !

I love how the kid kept saying this is it but the dam was still strong and holding up

The best childhood a kids can have.. Fun like this stays forever, not like sitting in your bedroom playing games consoles.

What a wonderful way to spend the day. Thanks for sharing!

This kids are working hard I appreciate them 💜👏👏👏

I'm 57 and that still looks like fun.😅

What wonderful quality time for dad and the boys! However, the dam was bound to fail as its top was below the highwater mark (upper line of seaweed). Fun, though!

Those kids got so much energy they need to invest in buckets and screens to shift through the dirt they could uncover some treasure🤷🤷🤷😎👍

Netherlands: "Welcome to the family, son!"

It took the ocean eons and eons to carve through that rock. It makes me smile to think that this was just one more child in history who attempted this in that same spot, seeing if they would finally be the ones to control the power of Nature. 😊

Awesome video young man! Get some more buddies to help you build a giant one next time and lose the music… The ocean sounds awesome all buy itself!!

Good effort ! Fun to watch!

Love to see a bigger and wider dam construction again! Cheers!

Amazing rock formations.... perfect setting for Dad and his 2 Sons to bond while facing an immensely powerful foe. In the end when the dam was breached, it wasn't a failure, it was a learning lesson. Next time they face the same foe, they will use a different approach. This is an important *_LIFE LESSON._*

No wonder the sea levels are rising. These two have dammed the sea.

Let's get them to 1million subscribers

Great video Good idea to do the opposite of your usual videos by making the sea destroy the dam rather than the river

I bet the kids will study hydraulic engineering one day. 😊👍

I'm really sure this experience was truly fun judging on their reactions.

OK, who came up with this idea, Dad or the kids? Either way it's great to see Dad and the kids having fun together.

Always liked doing these kind of things when I was a kid. In this case I would have compacted the sand and add more, search for some rocks or small boulders to put on the front section, maybe even some loose rocks that could act like wave breakers. Gotta stay interesting right? 🙂

Crabs(just now woke up from sleep): Honey why hasn't the water arrived yet? It should've been here by now.... *Comes outside and sees the dam: oh these humans again.....

The engineers of the Florida coast line need to watch this. Maybe they'll learn something

That's great!😃 Where you do all this?

So wholesome! Let kids be kids, protect them from social media.

I'm 54 and I still make rock pools at the river😂😂😂 we dont grow up we just get older ❤

Im 18000 years old and that looks fun!🎉

You´ve won, Atlantic... this time...

Some future geography class is going to be studying this area now known as the "Atlantis's Dam"

Nature in the raw is seldom mild.

Captivating video of an interesting experiment

You'll probably get dam frustrated!😁

Try pressing or compacting 1 foot layers - use a barrel (some sort of wide diametre tube) and just roll it gently before going on to add the next 1 foot of sand (known as a 'lift' in construction) - this imitates natural stratification that happens because of rain and is the process that makes up all natural landscapes - in this case it will harden your dams. Will a 'lift' dam made of sand hold better than a loose-pile dam? Love the channel. great story telling!

This is it !

Very enjoyable video 👍👍.

Omg so cool

I love dams

Q: What happens when you try to stop the Atlantic with a dam? A: The Netherlands.

That was so cool

Good job for the dam

It's like carrying sand to the Sahara to build a desert...but nevertheless... Well done!

I haven't watch many of these, but like, what if someone compacted the sand as they went? might work a little better.

lol so Irish, trying to stop the Atlantic with sand. 🤣🤣🤣

You guys should start sculpting the wall

Thanks to this dam, I’m hearing they are renaming Atlantic to SemiAtlantic

Stop the Atlantic with sand 😂😂😂😂😂

The trick is to put seaweed in the dam and on the surface to keep it together

The dam will.never work unless you thoroughly pack the sand in.

Good example of how geological wind Gap are formed all over the world

It's foolish to protect tidal forces with sand wall.

I want to make a joke about Amsterdam but I don’t know how to word it

Men😎

ggs for the water

1:53 Oh no Oh

Atlantic Ocean 1 Kid 0

Try twice as tall and wide next time :)

It still shows the erosion of our shoreline

Hi

Il faut apprendre l'humilité.

У нас есть поговорка, Вода дырочку найдет,,.

Neat video. Coulda done without the repetitive music tho.

The music is unbearable. It sounds like i am sitting in a washing machine set on the spin cycle.

jealous.

Well how do you find these places
