Unsinkable Ship | Building Demolition | BlowDown | S02 E02 | Free Documentary

Unsinkable Ship Demolition: An experienced demo team must use a novel explosives system to scuttle their first ship - the Hoyt S. Vandenberg. In this unprecedented demo job, Controlled Demolition Incorporated teams up with a marine salvage crew to turn a 17,000-ton former spy ship into the second-largest artificial reef in the world. Using torches above the water line and high explosives below, they will have to cut almost 500 holes in the ship’s hull. The mission: replace air with water fast enough to land the Vandenberg upright in a narrow target zone. But it’s a huge challenge - especially since none of the ship’s electrical or navigational systems are functional. Will they give this dead ship new life? Or will the sink plan lead them to disaster?

Yeah right, if you never buy the HIGH quality cars from.the rest of the world, you'll start thinking American cars are better. You just select what is coming to the US. I can tell you, that is nothing to worry about. Would you import cars that would get the Anerican car companied in trouble? Good quality and relatively cheap? No, shut the borders! Most Americans have literally no idea about the rest of the world. It's all communists! Yeah, those leaders are, the common people have nothing else to vote for. Just like that horrible "Trump or the lady" dilemma. No real choice, huh? You can't even vote yourself, why is there no presidential election for the common people? Why don't you get rid of that British voting system? The whole world can tell you: a district system is just not fair. And what do the Americans against that error? Not enough. Yeah, your cars are better. The Lambo's and the Toyota's you mean. And how about that compression ignition system that Mazda developed fitst? That's a gasoline engine that switches over to the thing a diesel does: knocking. But this time, it's controlled knocking. Why? The diesel cycle is more fuel efficient than the gasoline cycle. Driving on the highway or the interstate, when you don't need much power, the system goes into dieseling mode, saving some fuel. Haven't seen the numbers, but it must save enough money each year, just by doing something very smart, when you don't climb hills or accelarate all the time. Most people won't notice what's going on, it's just a very smart gas engine. And that means: not just a small and very good engine, no, a revolutionary design. It is really the best of two worlds: main advantage of the diesel engine, appled in a gasoline engine. I must give you Americans credit for the variable compression engine. AMG has designed that, a small turbo engine that uses high compression when the turbo pressure is low (it runs like a small sporty non-turbo) and when you push the gas and the turbo kicks in, you get a lower compression. That's done to avoid knocking, and the problem is, you would lose a lot of power and fuel efficiency driving more modestly, if that compression would be constant. Variable compression engines have more moving parts, it's not cheap. But the idea is brilliant, big engines normally cost you far more fuel, part of the deal. Now you really save some money, when you don't floor it for a while, and you still have that horsepower available, just in case. In short: great concept.

This video is just full of unanswered questions. Granted I'm no demolition expert but as a mechanical systems engineer, I know a thing or two about physics and what doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me is why they would place the shape charges inside the hull? Doing that makes the explosive force work against the water pressure from the outside and since water can't be compressed, it stands to reason that a shape charge would be much more efficient if placed outside the hull blowing inward. Navy divers during WW2 that later became the now famous Navy Seals were trained in using shape charges on the outside of the hull of enemy vessels to sink them. Okay, those divers didn't have to worry about creating a useless artificial reef but still, this way of sinking the bloody thing doesn't make much sense unless I'm missing something here
@hallofo8107
4 жыл бұрын
My uneducated guess? To keep the chances of flying debris hitting someone down. Your physics is spot-on, the charges WOULD have been more effective on the outside.... if the hull was in open-air. When out of water, you can use water to "tamp" the blast and increase the effectiveness of a shaped charge. For example, look at these: explosives.net/product/gatecrasher/ . HOWEVER... fully submerged charges are much LESS effective when they're completely submerged. I found this Master's Thesis on the subject: scholarsmine.mst.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=8304&context=masters_theses . The short answer: To be most effective, the shaped charge needs to be in a compressible medium, or be able to expand into one in order to create the cutting "blade" of molten metal. Which is why the charges were inside, vs. outside.

They need to precisely place and time delay the explosions within seconds so the ship sinks smartly. And sit upright in the target zone.

As it is easier and safer for divers to navigate inside of if its upright. And secondly the hull is the strongest part so they want that to hit the bottom. And the top sides are probably better to look at.

Why exactly is it so important that this tub lands upright on the ocean floor? I mean it's meant to be an artificial reef yes? I doubt the fish or corals care whether it's upright or not. So why not just tow it out into open waters and use it for target practice? A torpedo or two would do nicely. The Navy has done it who knows how many times and they're pretty good at it. Another thing I can't help but wonder is what we need artificial reefs for anyways? I mean on one hand we're complaining how expensive steel has become and here we just dump 17 thousand tons of it in the ocean. Does that make any sense? But hey, what do I know.
