I made a calculation. The 60’000 guests are divided into three categories: 500 super rich people (SRP), 5’000 crew to operate the… thing and serve the SRP, and 54’500 rowers to move the whole stuff at the whooping speed of 1 knot downwind. The food stores should be sufficient for an autonomy of 2,5 days, which is amply enough to get out of the terayard and back, if wind and currents allow it.

I took some architecture design classes a while back (thought I wanted to be an architect) and looking at this from an architectural standpoint is wild. Take this with a VERY HUGE grain of salt, but I want to take an analysis of this. Let me see here... 1) The goal is to hold 60K people but they have full size houses instead of apartment-like buildings. Even with the size of the whole thing, you need to maximize space if you want that many people. 2) The fins are poorly designed. Points like that can be a huge pain in the ass to design and build. What goes at the end of the points? Can it fit what is going to go there? It being dead space makes is pointless and a waste of money. 3) You mentioned the yacht tipping over and water spilling from the pools. I'm no expert at all, but from what I understand it would take one hell of a wave to actually get it to move like that based on how cruise ships are designed. However, I'm not excusing the fact that is a possibility. Along with that, having pools that big and that close next to HOUSES on an OCEAN LIVING AREA sounds like a terrible idea and a lawsuit waiting to happen. 4) Concrete. In the ocean. What could go wrong? Also, concrete is hella expensive. I got chewed out for having a spot on one of my buildings that was just a giant concrete dome. I don't think $8 billion would be able to cover all of that. Based on a simple google search, steel, aluminum, wood, and fiberglass are the best for making boats. 5) The shape of the boat is to help with water tension and stuff right (I'm probably really wrong on that)? With the way the yacht is shaped, it looks like it would be very poor for moving across water. Having it stand still would be better. 6) I'm not an expert on any of this, but I don't think it is safe to put the crew where it is. I may be wrong and I'll admit if I am, but that seems like a safety hazard. 7) On the flippers, those walls do not seem high enough. Water will get inside, contaminate the pool water, and most likely cause water damage to houses. 8) I'm pretty sure helipads have their own requirements for it to be up to code and all of that. Regardless of where this would be built, I believe all of the codes would be very similar to each other so none of those helipads are up to code. 9) That dam is not happening. For multiple reasons that I'm sure don't need explaining. 10) The shape of a sea turtle COULD work, but you have to considers functionality, whether or not its up to code, and all of that jazz. Whoever designed this prioritized design over everything else. 11) They seemed to have never considered how the yacht would actually move. For a ship that big, you would need a whole section dedicated to just engines. In my eyes, that whole back section should just be an engine. 12) Stuff like plants and trees would not work. I believe stuff like humidity and being around large amounts of salt water constantly would cause the plants and trees to die. This is not a greenhouse. That's about all I got for now. Again, I'm not expert on anything so take this with a whole container of salt, I'm just making inferences based on what I know. I will gladly say that I'm wrong if any of this is incorrect.

@LauraJdogmom

7 күн бұрын

Trees and plants can work, at least on a limited scale. The "Central Park" areas on Royal Caribbean's Oasis and Icon class ships have real trees and plants, tended by professional staff. Some Celebrity ships have lawns. The problem with pools is that (1) water weighs a lot and (2) it sloshes. I saw pictures and video from an incident a couple of years ago, on one of Royal Caribbean's Oasis-class ships, where water from the pool sloshed over the deck and down into the Central Park area. Cruise ships will empty their pools if those in charge think there will be rough weather. I noticed that those tiny helipads had nowhere for passengers to get off safely, nor was there a way for them to get off the roofs. Maybe they could jump in the pools?

That thing could be built entirely out of the largest ship engines and fuel tanks and it still wouldnt move an inch. There's a reason why ships are long and relatively narrow. Water drag is a bitch. That thing is at minimum pushing two Oasis of the Seas SIDEWAYS through water. Imagine the size of that bow wake, it would not be allowed anywhere near shores because of the tsunamis it'd cause so it would live in the open ocean. Which would cause some "slight" issues with refueling and resupplying.

Boatbuilder here. Concrete boats are a real thing and work quite well. With enough displacement, anything can be used to make a boat. Plus, the advantage of making a boat out of concrete is that it gets stronger with age. The disadvantage is that repairs are difficult and are not done by most boatbuilders. I've sailed on two concrete sail boats, and they're great 👍

"Dear investors I can assure you the approximated picture of the Terayacht in drydock is an oversight. Rest assured we won't be using LEGO cranes. We've upgraded to MECCANO! On a related topic the pre-fabricated parts for the Terayacht will be supplied by Revel, the construction vehicles by Tonka, the housing will be Barbie dreamhouses from Mattel, the engines powered by energon from Hasbro and the crew will be former employees of Toys R Us. So not only will this be a great engineering achievement, it will provide jobs for disenfranchised giraffes."

Concrete ships are actually a thing (reinforced concrete specifically), but that makes construction more expensive, and requires much thicker hull, which reduces the actual internal space you can use and hurts hydrodynamics. They're also a much bigger pain to make because, well, it's concrete, you can't just rivet and weld it into shape, you have to arrange the rebar and then let the concrete set and cure. Really they're mostly made as unpowered barges or pontoons, and the only real time that saw them being made in number was during the world wars, when more conventional materials (see: steel) were in high demand and there was a great need for cargo ships and barges for logistics.

Even before you made me aware of all these problems, the Terayacht struck me as having a big fundamental problem that you didn't mention. And that is... what is the point of the Terayacht? The thinking behind it seems to be to build, not a curse ship but a floating town. Why? Unless you're building a railway or in the Mortal Engines universe, I can't think of any reason why you would need an entire, fully mobile community, what benefits it would have or how those benefits would outweigh it's drawbacks.

Now the one maybe stupid thing in their well deck design is them having more stuff below the welldeck, but i am almost sure that the LHA's of the US Navy do this as well, so there can't be that much wrong with it.

Hey, I came up with something like this once! For a post-apocaplyptic story! Floating city of the mega rich, world gets hit by nuclear war, floating city is taken over by a crew rebellion, now it's a mobile pirate fortress. But I think my design is better because it's got an actual runway. No helipad-fuckery.

More or less same. Floating cities aren't the most original thing ever (one existing in my steampunk fantasy setting), and they can even be "doable", but it would likely look a lot "uglier" and slimmer. The turtle shape would cause awful drag to even move on water. More so, at that size, the structure would be definitely "function over form", like the ISS is (it houses pretty much every essential lab equipment to operate low gravity studies, plus housing, and it still looks like a bunch of sticks and barrels). A floating city would, at best, look like a flat hill in the middle of the ocean with roughly defined borders, lines and curves, and at worst look like a coastal industrial park with a messy bunch of towers and docks.

It would not be like this though. It would try to have low resistance and lots of lightweight material. Even the mega rich would try to be soooomewhat reasonable in that situation I think.

So. An aircraft carrier?

This looks like a hydrodynamics nightmare

The interior dock is clearly connected to the sea through a channel in the "tail" (10:08) for small vessels to enter and exit. Which is to say: We heard you like yachts, so we put a yacht in your yacht.

My thought on the buildings with the helipads right in the center of the city - The first building with the circled H on the roof was intended to be a hospital. A different concept artist saw that later on without context, assumed it was a helipad, and put a helicopter on it. A third concept artist saw the building and helicopter without context, assumed it was a mistake that the building on the other side of the boat didn't have a helipad as well, and added a circled H to that building.

There's no reason to have a letter H on top of a hospital unless there's a helipad there. Also the building is far too small to be a hospital. It's a helipad and was always intended to be one, you put more thought into this than the clowns that came up with it

Those coordinates at 2:58 are hilarious, they are so specific where resolution is 0.1nm, which is the same as the width of the average atom. **Very** specific location. (calculated as tan(0.000000000000001)*6378137)

@@ferranferran6955 They didn't include the "nm" in the image, they just have an absurdly large number of digits after the decimal points in their coordinates. They specified them out for _15_ digits of precision after the decimal; most people use 0 to 1 digit after the decimal, _maybe_ two or three if it needs a lot of precision.

Raising their voice specifically to defend ignorance. It's weird. There is no need for that level of decimal precision in any terrestrial measurements and the video producers are just slinging bullshit. It IS that simple.

Odd way of calculating that. 0.000000000000001 degrees is multiplied by 60 to get the distance in miles. Then by 1852 to get the distance in meters. In short the precision is of about 0.1 micrometer (0.11112 μm).

This would be a great design for Raft. Plenty of wing size for collection nets, nice center area, plenty of interior areas for cooking, machines, storage and other spaces.

Somehow you missed mentioning the render at 10:11 that shows two executive jet aircraft on the upper ring just to be ridiculous, or the fact that enormous fin shaped bow will create so much hydrodynamic pressure that any attempt to move it faster than 5mph would result in a bow wave that would swamp the ship.

@@theholk I'm not presuming anything, the sheer stupidity of the project and everything associated with it melted my brain.

The cherry on top of this obliviously ironic billionaire hubris cake is the fact that the eye-catching shape that exists to be the basic selling point of the whole project is distinctly reminiscent of the way that turtles are drawn in Native American and Canadian art, including representations of God in their ancient creation myths. In other words, that post-cold-war, ahistorical '90s Global Village of Unchecked Capitalism aesthetic you used to be able to sell absolutely anything with. It's a giant floating tchotchke.
