I use that for my warm up sets

"An apple weighs about 1 newton" Top 5 things that make sense

"Okay so how do we get to space?" "What if we threw 33 and a half million apples at the same time?"

the fact that they take into account the weight of the air and some how figure out a correction for the gravity constant at their particular location on earth blew my mind.

That guy has the perfect voice for his job.

"An apple weighs about 1 Newton. The world record for jet engine thrust..." That escalated quickly

1,000,000 pounds... That's 500 tons to you and me.

FINE ILL WATCH IT UKposts THANKS FOR PUTTING IT IN MY RECOMMENDED DAILY FOR 2 YEARS

I think your mom finally has a rival.

And everyone knows that the PE teachers grandma can lift this

This was extremely cool. The last job I worked on had a ringer crane manufactured by Lampson with a 750,000 lb lifting capacity mounted to a barge with a million lb counterweight. I unloaded trucks one whole summer of crane parts and counterweight. Spent a whole winter and spring assembling the crane and mounting it to the barge with nearly the whole summer used for rigging the barge and testing it. Spent a few years off and on either working on that crane barge or with it and although fascinating at times, working with the same rig day in and day out loses its luster pretty quickly. Our load cells consisted of potentiometers mounted perpendicular to the barge deck along with a load cell mounted to the end of a 7/8” cable at the main lifting line on the block. The main lifting block was usually rigged as either 32 parts of line or 16 parts while having to constantly take it all apart and reassemble it to add and remove boom sections for different projects throughout the duration of the job. Our load cells were sent off on a pretty standard basis for recalibrations and updates but remember a couple of occasions when the interns from engineering had mentioned the facility in this video. Not positive if our cells were sent to this particular facility or not as we had equipment from all over the world though quite a bit of our electronics came from Sweden initially, though when recalibrated they were all done stateside as far as the equipment I dealt with. Again it’s really interesting to see this technology and the math that goes along with it to help take away variables and make things more concrete as it applies to everyday things in the construction side of things along with the safety factor it adds to so many different aspects in industry. 👍

That guy was charming and I like the fact that you did it in 5:45. It really gave me an appreciation and understanding of what goes into creating precise standards.

For Americans: 1 million pounds! that's heavy For brits : no, that's expensive

Eddie Hall: "So anyway, I started squatting"

The fact that this is so precise that atmospheric weight and gravitational pull have to be considered is so cool

"Excuse me, can i clean here?"

There’s no doubt in my mind that man carries around “several American nickels” in his pocket at all times.

"One physical test is worth a thousand expert opinions" that's such a brilliant quote.

As a metrologist in Kenya in the Mass and derived quantities category I have such an appreciation for what he is doing. And as an Engineer by training to see that stack upto rockets being launched by crazy forces makes one feel proud of Science as whole

Another fantastic Metrology topic covered.

1,000,000 pounds, wow...that's a lot of money

I wanna put stuff under it and make a UKposts channel out of it

Another fact would be the position of the weights located on earth for gravitational pull , the equator v the poles would also have an outcome differential . None the less a great video .

Enter kevdog

That guy has one of the coolest jobs in the world. He's a real heavy metal fan.

That guy was absurdly personable. I feel it would be easy to get him going and get lost in his world.

Being able to say that you work at the "Mass and Force Group" has gotta feel good

When the hydraulic press channel gets a small loan of a million lbs

I’m honestly more impressed that force transducer can take a million pounds of force and not get squished

This video was way cooler than I expected it to be

I had them test the standards for my 10M lb hydraulic calibration press, which has an ancient plaque on it that reads: "One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions"

"One physical test is worth a thousand expert opinions". I like that quote.

So when is Eddie Hall gonna deadlift this?

Can't imagine the pressure when operating this device.

lifting goals have been updated

Finally something i can bench press. Our battle will be legendary

"the worlds heaviest weight" *my heart when i touch my pockets and do not feel my phone*

Way cooler than I initially thought

work in kilograms? just convert! Use a vacuum chamber? Just add weight! Find the perfect gravitational spot? Just calibrate! I love these solutions XD

Finally a weight I can use to measure against my student debt

mans wearing a hard hat next to a million-pound weight like if it falls on him the hats gonna save his life. love this guy lmao

Rick Seifarth is awesome!

those kind of video are simple amazining

need to fold a piece of paper 7 times with that

Not as heavy as your teammates in multiplayer

absolutely thrilled and interessant.

Whoa. Effing crazy. I mean, makes total sense, but whoa. Great content.

That dude was a great interviewee. Knowdgeable, amiable, and proud of his institution.

That one athletic kid in class “Oh yeah this is easy to lift”

Now those are some absolute units

I wonder if the accuracy of this is effected by compression in the concrete supporting it. Shifting that much weight has to cause some degree of change.

Chuck Norris called and said that he was missing one of his warm up Dumbells.

“ayo bro how much you bench” “mmmmmmm, about 1mil pounds”

They are getting real close to my lateral raise warmups

I like how the guy’s wearing a hard hat like it’s gonna protect him from 1,000,000 pounds

The new Hydraulic Press channel!?

finally, my winter bulk will be complete.

This guy should be the highest paid middle school science teacher of all time, the way he talks and his energy, I think he could inspire ALOT of kids

The kilogram standard is no longer an artifact such as a metallic object. Instead the kilogram is based on Kibble balances. The change occurred on 2019 May 19. An object with the mass of 1 kilogram exerts 9.81 Newton's with the standard gravitational force constant of 9.81 meters per second squared. (F = mg where F is in Newtons, m is in kilograms, and g.is.the gravitational force constant.)

I can imagine the mechanism that lifts this weight screams, "YEAH BUDDY! LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!"

One thing that impressed me about Rick Seifarth is his response to questions about whether these masses are the heaviest calibrated weight in the world is not to be egotistical and assume it's the heaviest weight, but to ask his visitors if they know of another one. You can see that this guy actually cares about his information being correct and that's admirable.

Its 2022 and im still processing this!

finally a weight zoro can lift by with some struggle

americans: lbs, pounds - - me an european who only understand kilograms:

Guy: an apple weighs 1 Newton Me: ok, how much does it weigh?

I'm gonna be honest, because of the videos that normally get recommended to me I thought this video was gonna be a highly detailed "your mom" joke. The set up would be perfect.

My desk papers aren’t going ANYWHERE with this bad boy

"What we sell is the vertical force vector that's generated by these weights hanging in the gravitational field." I enjoy that sentence very much.

Drop it from 1,000 feet and see what happens

You know he's a genius when he says 1 of these gizmos!

That is one proud-of-his-work man

Finally, a paperweight I won't knock off.

OHHHH! So _THAT'S_ how they make Fig Newtons! Got it, thanks!

there's a recent plane crash of a plane because mostly it was do to curb weigh of a private plane. its better to have the accuracy more closer than generalizing.

Jeez, that's almost as much as my bicep curl warmup

your mom would still break those scales

Everyone : 1 million pounds, that insanely heavy! Ronnie coleman: lightweight baby!! aint nothing but a peanut!

I worked in a shop in Alabama that built enormous steel things, like spillway gates for giant dams and movable railroad bridges. They had a stack of 4' by 8' by two inch thick lead plates they would use to flatten or straighten these huge fabricated pieces. In total they had a million pounds of lead there, and a overhead gantry crane that could pick them all up!!

Finally something I can use for lateral raises

0.0005% is pretty good. Better than the interest rate at most banks.

2:16 when you hold that pee for 3 hours

It is probably a very good thing that this facility is located in Washington DC and not out in Silicon Valley near the San Andreas fault. How would you calculate the maximum stress factors on this equipment and its building for a 7.0 earthquake?

Ngl the "Mass and Force Group" sounds like one of the coolest circles you could be in.

PE teacher could’ve lifted this but, they got injured and couldn’t

Must suck to be the guy who has to clean all the weights every hour to make sure dust doesn't add weight.

what a cool ass guy man

Do you have heavy metals in North pole or south pole. Assuming electric conductivity mostly south. Most energy of sun is captured by south pole. The skyline always have beautiful colours. That's why some Aussies are rich.

I can bench that

Ronnie Coleman: "Light weight, baby!"

When I was an AF pilot, back in heavy flight training (and this is before we made the move to computers/devices/digital/etc) they liked to say "measure with an micrometer and cut with an axe", i thought of that when he mentioned error in flight data/measurements.

We all start somewhere💪💪

Love how much this guy loves his craft. So knowledgeable.

*1 million pounds* WW2 Germany: we can make a tank out of this

That's my deadlift PR

Do you even lift bro the video haha Btw this was fascinating.

But can it break my bones? I drink milk every day so I'd say I'm pretty dang strong

Fascinating.

guy: explaining science things using hand gestures near massive weight me: imagine getting your finger trapped in that

But my favorite and most powerful is the vaunted sleeve of fig newton's.

"one physical test is worth 1k expert opinions." how do they measure that?
