RCE after finding out that dropping a cruise ship from 200 feet in the air causes it to snap in half... "I'm learning so much about ship building."

Technically isn't the AtAt historic? A long time ago in a galaxy far far away

"Anti-waves" are also known as troughs, like rogue waves (freak tidal waves that appear seemingly out of nowhere) rogue troughs exist and between them are likely responsible for the disapearance of a number of ships.

It's good to see that most of these ships are built so the front doesn't fall off at all

Those sections are called "water tight compartments" and they are used to section a ship off if it's flooding. Didn't know being a Navy engineer would come in handy today. Ships will buckle when there is a massive cavitation under the hull like that, they rip themselves apart by their own weight, that's how torpedoes work with a massive displacement off water.

"That hole at the end" is the APU. Basically a tiny jet engine which provides electricity and pressurized air when the engines aren't running.

"That is a massive fire hazard" under a minute later "why did we change from wood into metal?" Also an actual fully wooden boat the size of current cruise ships wouldn't be able to sustain itself under its own weight withought bending i believe

Before your channel, I had no idea I loved pointless engineering. As a cruise ship nerd, I especially love this video 💙🚢

Looking at the animations it’s hard not to notice the fact some compartments in the cabins still have all their air after hope is lost. Terrifying to be in one of those! You know you can feel the angle and motion. 😬

So the "anti-wave" is a thing just not in the way that you think. See when an underwater anti-ship mine explodes underwater it creates a bubble that rushes to the surface and as it does it flexes in and out causing hull whip in the ship. When it reaches the surface it ruptures and sends a high pressure water jet through the ship splitting it in half. The last thing to happen is when it ruptures it opens a void under the ship basically causing it to float in the air for a moment before it falls into the void and the water rushes back in filling the void and finishing the job of breaking the ship in half. The void would be considered your "anti-wave". "Scientific" explanation courtesy of the US Navy.

I’m pretty sure they stopped using wood because the size of the ship was dictated by the size of trees. Trees are smaller now since we been cutting them down. And there is a max size fore a wooden ship before it rips it self apart because the different parts of the ship are moving in different directions. I’m pretty sure the metal ship broke when you drop them just because they where heavier than the wood ship. And water is pretty hard when your fall from like 1 mile up.

The pins aren't actually supposed to poke holes in the ship, they're supposed to keep the object under them from moving. But the forces moving the ships around are a lot stronger than the ones holding them together, so it just rips the chunk under the pin right off.

Reminds me of PowderToy, i'd love to see RCE review some powder toy builds like reactors and stuff :)

Is there a chance that the model of the Titanic has been specifically programmed to snap in half and sink like it did in the movie and IRL?

The hole at the end of the plane, is the APU exhaust (a diesel engine exhaust pipe, like on a car) that engine allows the plane to power its electronics before the main engines are switched on and normally shouldn't be restarted before the engines go offline after reaching its destination. Sully activated it after he lost his two engines, that saved everyone because the automatic pilot could maintain the aircraft horizontal to ensure a better splashing in the Hudson river. The Ram Air Turbine only generate power for a few screens and not total automation, the APU is more powerful. Plan es are structurally very weak, they just have to wisthand wind and internal pressure, otherwise they are very lightly built. Titanic spliting in half with a wave was the first conspiracy theory, many people couldn't believe that an iceberg could sink a ship that size and as it was the biggest on its age, reasonsable people just thought that the ship wouldn't have wistanded a wave. Even if they were right on paper, weather was absolutely calm that day and no waves so big to allow that to happen were registered. The main weakspot of any ship is its keel. Instead of planting a bomb inside, you should simulate a torpedo hit just UNDER the keel. Results are most of the time devastating. Wooden ships are light and can take quite a punch because they deform a lot. However, we went into metal ship hulls because of the introduction of boiler rooms feeding propulsion. Boilers would be too heavy for a wooden ship to bear, so a metallic ship could be bigger and thus allow a better boyancy.

"Words Matt has never heard" Editors are getting feisty again, RCE, might need to go visit the editing basement or consider cutting their rations

Fun Fact: Even though the Titanic and maybe the Olympic didn't hit a rouge wave, the RMS Lusitania has hit one. During January 1910 she was doing her normal trip from Liverpool to New York. But one night she encountered a 75 ft. wave going towards her. The wave hit her and she survived without no-one dying. Even though one died they did however have her bridge was in ruins. Having her bridge bend 2 inches backwards. Just a little Fun Fact that people might know.

Watching RCE learn about what pins are is very wholesome. A little bit more and he might even learn about what they do.

"The bumhole of the plane", years of engineering study at University clearly not wasted on Matt.

Memo to self. Do not give RCE the thanos gauntlet. Or any button ever that might make him think "what does this do?"

RCE: "I'll save the ship!" Also RCE 3 seconds later: "Oops I dropped it..."

4:04 nearly spit my drink out when he said "Will and Kate or whoever" comedy gold

Weird, the Sully Hudson Ditch proved that Airbuses at least float pretty well even with lots of people on the wings :)

the pins are used to pin stuff in place

AT-ATs are from the past. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..."

I’m actually gonna chime in with some AT-AT Facts. They are actually completely submersible! As we see them in Jedi Fallen Order, they are capable of walking underwater

"We've got a double-decker Titanic!" - A brand new sentence I didn't think I'd hear today.

Since the AT-AT was made a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the ark could theoretically be based on its design.

It seems as though the Titanic has a reputation for splitting in half

Honestly the AT-AT might be the most surprising thing outa this.

The hole in the butt of the plane is the APU, or Auxiliary Power Unit, basically a small engine to start the engines, just for future reference when dealing with airplanes

Wood IS the superior building material. Just think of Viking longships. Wide, low, and being made of wood -- and thus flexible as a rubber band -- they conquered the seas!

That eiffel tower moment was pretty accurate to what is happening in France right this moment, we're tearing ourselves apart.

He hasn’t realized that the Titanic splits in half easily because the real one did. Just makes it easier to replicate the real sinking. Then again, I don’t care, and it’s much funnier to imagine the titanic just absolutely disintegrating at the most minor inconvenience

I know nothing about shipbuilding, so I've always found it really impressive that ships seem so solid and stiff even though they're made out of fairly flexible materials like wood or iron or steel. Like, you see skyscrapers swaying during earthquakes, but when a ship hits a big wave it seems like the front and back react simultaneously and there's no bending or flexing at all. If the breaking point is reached, the ship will snap like a twig...but even the pieces look stiff and strong on their own. They don't just implode or collapse like a stack of cards. That's pretty amazing.

5:35 That hole is called an Auxiliary Power Unit outlet, which is the exhaust pipe for a small turbine engine whose only purpose is to suppy the aircraft with electrical power, compressed air and hydraulics when the engines are turned off. Used in many situations but most commonly on the ground during pushback and boarding in order to reduce fuel consumption by avoiding to turn on the main engines until the plane is ready for takeoff.

A tsunami usually stays underwater for the most part However that looks more like a rogue wave

I do marine engineering, and in naval architecture class our lecturer used simulations like this to teach buoyancy equations and weight distribution, then she would destroy the ships like you are here😂

“We seemed to turn our cruise liner into a submarine liner” 😳 love that this came out before the titan went down.

The problem with doing all the tests relative to the ship's own size is that comparisons between ships mean nothing

Matt doesn't know about the legless at-at boat which is basically what he made

0:55 that Patrick boo got me. Also there is this new management game that would be really nice if rce could play: Big ambitions

Titanic would survive a direct hit with ice berg but the move by crew to try to pass by sealed its fate.

Hey RCE! l don't know if you gonna read that or at least find but, l glad that you enjoyed my A320-200 (plane) and that you used it. But ye, you probably noticed it wasn't all great. So in details, first one with a livery have structure which can be used only on the ground, tried before combining water and ground structures but had to do separate. Second, those brown things actually slides for water, just second plane for some reason doesn't have textures on. Also you probably noticed that structure at all not the best, it is because it was my second ever plane actually, my new planes much better now. And fun fact, there also in the files you can find BAE-146 and Fokker F28, though Fokker F28 one of the first planes as well. Guess l answered on some questions but if there some other questions left feel free to ask, and by the way in case of l can send you more of my planes, such as E195 or B737 family (from -300 to -900) with different liveries and stuff. l'm sure you will like them. Once again thanks for using my stuff, it makes me feel better actually! -Raynair.

From now on i'm going to refer to the APU exhaust on planes as the "bumhole of the plane" 🤣🤣

Tod swaddle is now becoming a part of my lexicon. :)

12:10 I just realized the AT-AT is just a long legged turtle.

13:00 To show YOU the power of Flex Tape, RCE sawed the Eiffel tower in half!

5:35 that would be called the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), and is basically a smaller, less powerful jet engine used to get power started up to the engines as well as electricity to the plane when the engines are not started up.

Arc - arch you can see why engineering always is best.

The titanic was considered unsinkable due to it having so many compartments, it could stay afloat with 4 compartments full o'water, but not 5, it could perfectly survive if it was a head-on impact, and they shouldn't reverse while turning, that reduces the water pressure in the rudder, making it turn less.

The "hole at the end" of the plane is typically the exhaust port for the Auxiliary Power Unit. It's basically a tiny jet engine that doesn't produce a whole lot of thrust, but doesn't take much power to start up, and is attached to an alternator to generate power and pressurize hydraulics for the plane. They'll turn it on as passengers are boarding to keep the electricity on in the plane once the ground crews have disconnected ground power, and then are used for starting up the main engines.

Im actually so happy you are playing this!

It doesn't help the Titanic that one of its sibling ships sunk not too long after it, but honestly the ship would've probably been very nice, it sunk due to human error and a lack of foresight. (Also an engine fire that weakened the hull and wasn't able to be fixed before launch) Also I think the middle of the Titanic model may be weaker then the rest or something since it breaks there consistently

There are designs about a plane that can separate the head from the body and the body can survive the fall/landing in water (it's on be amazed)

5:35 That is the exhaust of the APU or Aux. Power Unit. It's a gas turbine engine that provides power to start the main jet engines if a starting truck isn't available at the airport.

the hole at the end of a plane is the APU. Its a tiny engine used to power it when its on the ground.

You should test it on a mega iceberg next. Id be curious about that result.

The hole at the tail of the aircraft is the exhaust for the APU

Planes only float for a few minutes to just under an hour depending on size and damage and which doors are opened in water. Nearly all planes that aren't seaplanes will in fact sink.

Finally i find videos about this game again, i always liked those

You can use the move tool and launch ships downwards towards spikes or forwards so they get speed sometimes they go too fast and the water destroys the ship

great timing on the sub joke if you were watching this today like me lol

Day 53 of asking Matt to play SpaceFlight Simulator.

I love this game!!! Please play more of this! (Also the Titanic’s middle is extra weak so it can split in half while sinking like it did irl)

To be fair the arc was built using an invincible tree's wood(i think) So kinda expected that

The bumhole is called the APU- Auxilliary Power Unit

for anyone, the game is called “Floating Sandbox”

Seems like the Titanic model was designed to break at the exact point it did IRL for people who want to recreate the even in game, and would get mad, if it didn't pan out the way it did in the James Cameron movie. And maybe to make sure, they weakened the hull at midships.

I just love that the Arch survived these tests 😁😍

Mr RCE, you say the antiwave is not a thing. Are you sure? I think if a giant sinkhole would open up underneath a large body of water, i think the water above will drop down with it, right? Not as exaggerated as in this game, but still.

I'd Recommend stormworks: build and rescue you basically could build anything making boats is the best thing

The arc has an easier time because it is shorter and shorter. The modern ships are harder because they are taller and longer.

This is one of my favorite games so I'm happy to see you play it.

'Fire on an arc' has the same energy as "Fire? At a sea parks"

You really sound surprised that the arc is invincible, but it has the power of god on its side

Turns out Noah's ark was actually made of rubber.

Oh. My. God. I thought I’d never see the day, but here it lie! HE IS PLAYING FLOATING SANDBOX!!

The Ark was made from basswood, gopher wood. It is hard, light, doesn't burn and is easy to work. Most wood carvings are done in basswood.

The reason we have metal ship might be for several reason, now steel might not float by itself, but moment ship falls apart, you don't want to be there anyway... then there is the thing we use engines instead of slaves to power the ships, so there is possibility to catch on fire, quite high actually, also I can imagine it's easier to build metal ship than wooden one. But I might be wrong, I'm no kind of ingeneer, I'm programmer.

I didn't know you had an oceangate video

Oh the irony of this video in my feed

YO! You reminded me that this thing exists, and now I'm getting it again lol. Thanks for that. You can do a TON with this physics playground. Look forward to more.

I was hoping we would say the “uk shipping agency”

this game is so much fun, wait till you find "ultra violent" mode, it makes things literally insane :P

7:35 Bruh. "Convertible Cruise-ship" broke me!

10:34 "So Titanic's back!!' - Good News!

This is how you get on the “no fly” list

4:35 STRONGEST SCHAPE

Sometimes engineering is more art than engineering

Hello RCE. Will we get another Timberborners soon?

6:35 🤣 good one editor

The arc is super durable because it is protected by the powers of divinity.

The 3 resensens why the titanic failed because it was held together by 2 different ridits, the spoters didn't have the bynaklers, it wasn't a head on clashen, and it was weaked by a coel fire.

hey engi there is a ajuster that lets you change the lets say that flamer toll to 1millian degrees

I swear this game makes its rounds from time to time on youtube

"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..." that's the setting for star wasr last I checked, Matt which strengthens your argument that they don't build ships like they used to 12:15

the "Bumhole" that you were asking about is the APU exhaust!

You should try out stromworks it's where you build engines boats helicopters and planes

That hole on planes is the APU (Auxiliary power unit) exhaust
