My favourite thing about the foam fractionator is that the original machine has a base-plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzelvanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semiboloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a non-reversible tremie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters

Municipal wastewater treatment is very similar.

As an aquarist on a much smaller scale, I can appreciate that much of the life support process can be seen in a well-kept home aquarium. The nitrogen cycle is such a fascinating subject! I found the final step of nitrogen off-gassing very interesting, as typical home aquaria require regular water changes to remove accumulated nitrates. (I can’t imagine how many buckets you’d need to do a 50% water change on a system of that size!)

@GamesFromSpace

@SorenCicchini

Жыл бұрын

It's the same in sewage treatment, too. To reduce nitrate to nitrogen, you just need to maintain an anoxic zone, and another type of bacteria will do the rest. In sewage treatment, the system is simply designed to provide at least 4 hours residence time after the aeration stage, and the enormous quantity of bacteria resident in the "biosolids" produces anoxic conditions by depleting the dissolved oxygen while consuming the carbon food in the biosolids. The most practical way to do it in an aquarium is with a "deep sand bed". About 10 cm depth is sufficient, so you can do it in the display or a sump. In a marine aquarium, use arogonite sand and it will double as a pH buffer and source of calcium. In a freshwater aquarium, plants will also consume nitrates, which are removed from the system when you trim the plants.

Yes, but it's not a big problem because of how much inertia is in such a huge system. In some spaceships it can be crucial to fix whatever broke relatively quickly because you have several humans packed in a space barely larger than them, so the atmosphere can get unbreathable relatively quickly. Even in that case, they have hours before it gets bad. A large system like this could be off-line for a few days and the fish wouldn't even notice, so they have plenty of time to perform any repairs or maintenance and bring it back online.

I remember seeing a documentary mention "reverse osmosis" exactly once and never hearing of it again. It stuck with me. Glad to see it mentioned again.

Citation Needed has ruined me in very specific ways where certain words/names will make me think of the various end gags from the show. So when I see "School For Gifted Axolotls," all I can think of is "Aristotle Axolotl Throttle."

One of the earlier episodes makes a casual mention to The Deep (and I believe there's at least one other episode that makes a reference to Hull as well).

'The Deep' is worth it just for the truly vast diversity of aquatic life they have to witness and learn about. Not surprised that it requires such a massive life support system, there's a lot of life to support. A unique aquarium experience.

Been there more times than I can count. The only bad thing about 'the Deep' , is that it's in Hull (the rectum of England).

Weeping because Tom was in my city and had no idea 😭 I always knew this day would come

Tom: "It's just some fish, right?" Fish: 🙁🙁🙁🙁

As a fishkeeper this video makes me happy. I'm so glad to see anything that raises awareness of the amount of work that needs to go into making fish comfortable and healthy in an aquarium. So many people think you can buy a fish and stick it in some water and it'll be fine but that couldn't be any farther from the truth.

This is why I don't get fish even though I've thought about it several times. Mammals are easy because they have most of the same living conditions we do. Fish require a precise environment that differs between species and I can't stand the thought of waking up to find I killed them.

Well the same is true for a tiny 5 gallon! If you ever want to keep fish you need a less expensive and complex system but you still need it! That’s why we use filters and let our tanks sit for at least a month before we introduce fish! It’s all to grow beneficial bacteria!

They make it or get it from the ocean. Ones close to the beach can pump it in and out. Others have to use RO/DI to purify things then make saltwater with synthetic salts.

The scale of it is amazing. Thanks for teaching us!

Cheers to Ben, he's really good at explaining things and this was quite fascinating to learn about. Also, for what it's worth, I didn't find the shots from the gopro on a pole to be unpleasant at all. Thanks for the look into this, Tom!

Hi, I used to work here and the divers did a lot of stuff like that! There are dive shows where the divers will go into the tank and feed whilst a tour guide will explain what they're up to and information about the animals. We used to communicate with the divers using special diver sign language to entertain the guests too

This was far and away the most fascinating brewery tour I've ever seen.

I used to look after a mini aquarium, it was just one room, and I'm envious of this machinery.

One thing that wasn't emphasised is the sheer mass of all that water. It's a serious bit of engineering just holding all that water safely in one place!
