Testing the Titanic against a MEGA TSUNAMI!

Are modern ships stronger than the Titanic? In Floating Sandbox we get to find the ultimate unsinkable vessel of the past present and future, and we learn that perhaps modern ship building is going in the wrong direction! This is why I won't go on cruise ships...

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."

[jim]

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

[benbarker]

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

Editors are getting feisty again, RCE, might need to go visit the editing basement or consider cutting their rations

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. 😬

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 :)

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.

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?

[xzenderx]

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

[VonSnootingham]

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

[GalacticGroovin]

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

[taimahi]

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

[SUTSx]

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😂

[magga]

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

[Soken]

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

[rydercas]

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

[Echo_the_half_glitch]

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

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.

Im actually so happy you are playing this!
