Why Do MASSIVE Ships Play Chicken? 

Theres a training for captains using the narrowboats as a simulator. Due to the power to weight ratio being largely the same, both the narrow boat and the large cargo ship can behave the same way especially on canals.

If you watch the old working boats it’s how they pass. Don’t try doing it with most leisure boaters though as they do think it’s a game of chicken.

@@Tinhare It's not about playing chicken, it's about knowing the best time to head to the side, which is certainly later than I first assumed. It's never a bad idea to have some idea of how the physics works

@@mikeflowerdew7877 That was my point.

While a typical narrow boater won't wait until the last minute to move off the centre line of the canal as per the video (which is probably for the best), the last bit of it, the 'self centering' effect as the stern's pass each other is very noticeable...

0:59 almost because everstuck

Lmao

Lol

Yeaa.... Evergreen

Ah yes, the No Fucks and Ever Deeper.

If it’s stressful don’t do it.

I had to pause the video due to laughing so hard 😂

I wish you hadnt found his channel because us long term watchers love short form content

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13 over the course of 1260+ years. Revelation 17 confirms that the beast is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

How? Ballasting alters the trim of the ship, not its course or its interaction with other bodies.

@@beeble2003 Have a look at the dynamic ballasting system developed by Heerma Engineering

I think a lack of situational awareness is a factor in at least some scenarios. Lack of communication as well. If you don't know exactly where the other ship is, what their course is, and what their intentions are, you don't have enough information to even begin to follow a rule. Common sense would dictate an attempt to stop, but even stopped, you wouldn't be guaranteed safety. That said, the contribution of radar to vessel safety can never be understated!

"I would have thought that in the over 2 millienia of ocean going travel, some bright spark would have thought of establishing a rule for wich way to turn." These rules are long established, and known as "Colregs" -- the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, which came into operation in 1977, replacing earlier regulations from the 1960s. Before that, every country had its own rules for its own territorial waters. Many of these rules would be similar, but there was still scope for confusion.

Works similarly, but the smaller of the vessels feels the effects more than the other. Also the smaller vessel might have to steer back towards the centre of the channel a tad earlyer to prevent the aft getting pulled into the larger ship. For the untrained eye looking at the helm on the bridge, this may look like the small ship is attempting to kamikaze into the large ships side, as the rudder movement is done so much earlyer than one would think

@@SportSoulLife Thanks!

That’s what I was thinking. I may rarely happen (if ever) but the ever given is an example of the consequences of something going wrong just once. It seems silly that major industries that whole economies rely on are content with such razor thin margins for error.

@@llamawarllord As long as the profits keep rolling in, they sweep the potential for problems under the rug. If a wreck does occur, they will declare General Average and make their customers pay part of the cost.

well if you have some anti matter and some regular, pro matter surely you'd just get harmless regular matter!

Lol, when he used the term "annihilate", I thought of matter and anti-matter too.

Or if they go near the speed of light

@@Welv1987 To be fair at that point the plasma that is the leading edge of the vehicle mixed with the air ahead of it will be undergoing interesting interactions well before that. That is to say you just made a fusion car which is currently fusing itself with the air of the atmosphere. Suffice to say it will no longer be a car in very short order. As for exactly how these shenanigans look is an interesting thought as towards the front of the car it will most likely be predominantly atoms from the car actually fusing much of which are Iron or heavier so it would probably be a net loss of energy there. Probably wouldn't want to be viewing it from the outside for sure though the leading edges will mostly be the atmosphere participating which would give off plenty of high energy photons and such I think you would likely be very very dead if in line of sight of that turns out X-Rays and Gamma rays are bad for ones health in high doses.

“Assuming a spherical car in a vacuum…”

'Schland!

Because we are talking about Germany here, and in Germany, you can't just take your ship and move it past another one using physics. What are you, a captain?

@@Chrischi3TutorialLPs as far as I know Pilots are mandatory in a lot of other major shipping channels from a certain size of ship upwards.

@@netsailor The Kiel canal is the only canal that I know of though that not only requires a canal pilot but also a canal helmsman for ships above a certain size (and/or under certain wind conditions). Guess that's what it takes to be the most frequented artificial waterway in the world (the Kiel canal sees about as many ships each year as Suez and Panama canal combined!).

Same here in the Houston ship canal, pilots make seriously good pay too.

546 likes and no comments? Lemme fix that..

On large modern ships, are these maneuvers carried out autonomously by computers (accurately monitoring positions, velocities, water pressures etc), or are they still done by experienced human crews?

@@fredbloggs8072experienced human (pilot) . Witness this effect as cadet too at savannah, usa the pilot giving order to the other vsl’s pilot 😊
