H1MIN: PARIS GUN - PARIS GESCHÜTZ

The Paris gun or Paris-Geschütz were long range artillery guns designed to bombard Paris during World War 1.

It had the distinction of being the highest range projectile fired during WW1. The gun pushed artillery technology to the limit and the shells reached stratospheric altitudes to cover such long distances. Little was known about the technology since the guns and plans were destroyed. However the engineer's notes were discovered by Gerald Bull 70 years later.

Sorry, should not have not gotten a notice. If you did apologies, there was an error, wrong city listed on the map. Youtube really needs to provide the ability to replace/fix existing videos.

I’ve just found this channel, and it’s really fantastic. Each video, while short, clearly has a lot of effort and love put into each one. Not only that but it’s to the point and says everything important about a specific topic — not getting sidetracked halfway through. You’ve earned a sub, keep it up.

They had to calculate the rotation of the earth while the shell was airborne as an aiming factor

I just want to say, that your channel is the freaking best among all others. Like literally animation + educational value... The Best bro!
In a blink of an eye you will get to 1 million :D

The most beautiful animations and sounds and graphics, all in the back drop of solid backdrop of narration, once again.

It's still very difficult to comprehend the thought of a cannon so old firing grenades to such long distances... The mechanism is just amazing.

Wtf i just watched every single of his vids

[IntegrandoConhecimento]

I think the videos would have greater reach if you removed the yellow H1 from the thumbnail. Congratulations on the great content.

the renderings and animation are so consistently awesome.
must have been fun recreating some of these from just notes and plans

[BDNeon]

That last part about Gerald Bull finding the notes is an interesting point, for those who don't know, he was one of the lead men in the idea of a Spacegun, using a cannon to launch payloads into orbit, and worked with the US Government, and later for Saddam's government, to pursue that objective.

You deserve WAY more subscribers than you currently have. I shall spread word of your channel far and wide!

[neilwilson]

Dude I really love your videos. The animations are really good and everything is just direct and on point

[nightshade]

tbh i love how simple the explanation yet still informative to a point, it may seem like you're reading from wikipedia but i'm fine with that since the script does not cause information overload.

130 kilometers range, that just about a range of modern short range ballistic missile.

God, imagine shelling enemies area without worry detected by radar.

[alm]

I honestly really enjoy your videos and your videos deserve a lot more attention

[atomique]
