Thanks to Captain Drew Kerlee from Tacoma for the topic suggestion! - Věda a technologie
Thank you for narrating these videos yourself instead of using AI which everyone seems to be doing these days.
AI voice is a good test, but over all I realized that we all need to feel human, so from now on, I always do a few rounds of rehearsal before recording with my own voice even though it's not perfect.
@@3DLivingStudio You’re doing just fine. Your English is very good and easy to understand. Nice work!
@@3DLivingStudio
I really agree and support you
Which ai is he using, it nearly impossible to notice
@@3DLivingStudioI really like the personal endearing human quality of your voice. We’re all imperfect speakers and I appreciate that more and more with AI trying to robotize us.
“Personal burden” had me in stitches. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching! And yes, never taken a restroom for granted
Been in the harbor tug industry for 24 years now. Our towing Hawser, is a thicker heavier line used for towing something larger than an average sized ship. We rarely use it these days as the strength of your regular working line on the bow and stern winches are able to handle increased loads. Great video! Very accurate with most of the information!
Thanks for watching! And it's good to hear from someone who has hands-on experience like you 👏
Hawser line? What is the typical diameter of the line and what is the strength versus a normal line? I’m sure the cost is hugely higher than the regular lines.
I'm a big enthusiast of ships and maritime affairs. Please make more videos using your fantastic animation skills, on topics such as types of boats and ships, port and marine operations, maritime history, navy, etc. Thank you! ❤
Thanks for some suggestions, still many more topics to explore.
Nice too see others having a merry time watching tugboat shafts.
The info about the water-displacement hull was new to me! Thanks😊
This channel deserves to have millions of subscribers.
FUN FACT: smaller tugboats has only a propeller and a rudder that steers the boat and larger tugboats doesn't have a rudder, the larger tugboat has only a propeller that can steer like a rudder, a rudder is a steering mechanisms of the ship or a boat. The modern tugboat we called is the Z-drive tugboats.
Tug boats are like ants. Small but can carry hefty load that much heavier than them
Tugs have always fascinated me, thanks for providing a glimpse into how they work so efficiently for their size. Keep up the great work, the narration was brilliant.
Excellent video! Clear animation that matches the clear narration and almost no music. Very well balanced and informative.
Beautifully explained. I got chills when you explained about z drive designs.
Clear and concise explanation with fantastic graphics. keep up the good work. Thanks.
Much appreciated!
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Thank you. Learnt something new today
This is 10 times better than my neighbor explaining to me how kayak works.
Excellent content, animation, and explanation!
Thanks for supporting
Knowledge that really adds insight. Thank you for the video sir. 🙏
Excellent video. Thanks!
Amazing please keep making these!!
Outstanding animations and explanations - muchos gracias!
This is fabulous. Thank you for such good visuals and explaination.I have been riveted to the Dali story since the bridge disaster ( May 2024) and have been in awe of the tugboats and even the vessels with the cranes... how they maneuver so easily. Now I know how. But I would guess that 90 percent is the talent of the pilot.
Great video and explanation! Thank you for doing your own voiceover too.
fascinating. learnt a lot. thank you
That was educational. Thanks 👍🏽
I love this video. I learnt something new and very excited all throughout the video. Keep up the good job man♥️
Thank you! Will do!
I feel like "personal burden" could a literal translation and I rather like it. The phrase implies it is something everyone must do and cannot avoid. "Unload their personal burden" seems similar to "relieve themselves".
Great illustration
So much knowledge thank you
Fantastic animation. Please make more videos
Great video! Keep it up.
Now this is a million dallar question I have been asking myself all my life :) thanks so much for this great video
I am glad it helps
Very well done 👍
Informative!
Very informative 👏🏽👍🏽
CZcams 'canal' got me! Great video
you deserve every view and sub you get man.
awesome video.
Thank you for supporting
This was very insightful. I've always wondered how these ant boats can pull ships bigger than their size.
Thank you!!! 👍👍👍
Nice vid
3:50 imagine seeing a boat casually drifting near the harbor lol
Very interesting video thanks for making it. Also 4:12 😂 "CZcams cannal"
Interesting, thank 👍
love the youtube canal at 4:04 😊
Now i want to be a captain of a tugboat,thanks....
Working on Tugboat shafts must be so freeing for the sea men.
Great thank you ❤
outstanding
nice animations
I grew up in Superior WI and lived near the water front, tug boat power It was very amazing to see...
❤❤❤ nice
Good job bro ❤❤❤Love you from India.
Good explanation. You could also have mentioned why the hawser winches are positioned so far forward on the aft deck as their exact position is fundamental as to how the tug operates and steers. 👍
Thank you for using your voice!
Thank you....
OMG yes the snapback zone! I have irrational fears of them like quicksands
Very educational video. Thank you for the awesome graphics that made it easier to understand the concepts. How did you make these animations? Must have taken you a lot of time and effort.
Glad you liked it! I self studied to make this, it took like about 3 years for me because I'm slow in this aspect.
4:03 Too soon
😅
I really think rudderless thrusters are impressive. You can get all the power and direction while facing a current or against it or at an angle
Small pleasure boats have propellers, everything else bigger have screws that they use for forward and reverse propulsion.
"water displacement", makes one wonder why there's no tow-subs?
4:30 "so the captain can see all of the surroundings" not a job you want to be doing through a periscope.
At 5:43 it seems like the attachment point causing the angle of propulsion is 90 degrees to the rope so obviously it's not going to move.
nice rescue from youtube canal.. :)
If Quint had used this boat to tow the shark, he would have survived.
Oh wow are they actually that maneuverable? It looks like one of my friggets* in star sector strafing a larger ship.
that inline 6 crankshaft gave me a little shock
the "CZcams Canal" looks weirdly familiar to this other one...
Hopefully my terrible sense of humor is somewhat entertaining 😅
@3DLivingStudio I enjoyed!
Man you have to make a vid about oil rigs... About there construction, drilling, etc.
Check my channel, there is a video about oilrig. But I think, in future, I should make a better and more complete version
what is the purpose of Fin keel? Great video btw thank you
It helps to balance the boat at the center point
I was on a tugboat we had 4 main engines and electric motors turned the shaft.
There are some new full electric tugs out there.
what house/dining room...must feel strange to eat there alone..it's much more festive when friends are over 🙂well, as festive as standing still can be i suppose
tug's life
How this compare with the Voight-Schneider drive?
Voith-Schneider has propeller with vertical blades. It is an interesting topic to explore!
Thug boats are cool!!
Why don't they put the azipods In the middle so they don't apply torque around the boat?
There are different designs for tugboat but I haven't seen one where propeller locates right in the middle.
Could I recommend not stacking containers on a ship upside down. Just a thought
3:50 I think it was designed to drift
The "hazar" ropes are called towlines or mainlines. The "bite" is called eye splice.
Good to know there are other terms!
7:05 All the containers are loaded upside down, someone is getting fired!
You noticed! It would be painful to fix that part in the 3D model, so just let it be 😂
um the containers are upside down, how do you load and unload these, also isnt the contents damaged?
love your videos. personal burden
It was 3d model's error, it would take too much time to fix, so I just left it there, the upside down containers :D
You didn't show anything about a thrust bearing transferring the thrust from the prop to the hull. Also what makes the planing hull raise up in your demonstration is the location of the attachment of the tow line. The lower you attach it, the less it will raise up. More accurately the closer to the thrust line the less bow raises
I tried to keep thing in a most possible simple view. In facts there many small components that I didn't show. It will take an extensive amount of time if to make a fully detailed for everything. For the planing hull scene, I want to transfer the main message that it is not designed for towing, and what could possibly happens, not the details of it.
I tryed to stop a docked ship from wobbling with my legs and it moved slowly like I was not there.

Did I hear correctly,? '...The tug boat serves as a different engine to CONJUGATE a ship in all directions...'. I just wish Americans understood English.... Enough seen...
Have you considered that the creator might not be American? You’re making the rest of us look bad…
Interesting viewpoint. But I am not making 'rest' look bad. I if you are going to use big words you don't understand then just say, 'move...'
@@TDCF355 You are making the rest of us look bad. Your ultra-limited view on the world won’t even let you let go of a simple accent and some grammatical errors.
I can't begin to point out the errors and mistakes in this video. Did you at one point start to imafine things and then decide to put these imaginations in a video? WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS MAINLY NONSENSE.
Yes, you can! CZcams is an open platform for everyone to create content and correct others' content as well. And no, I did not imagine things at one point, I imagined things at many points based on many documents and sources.
@@3DLivingStudio And where did you find these documents and sources? In the fiction department? A z-drive is something completely different, ever heard of Voith-Schneider...?
@SuperDirk1965 No, not from the fictional department. You just chose to use those words to be provocative in your tone. I didn't mentioned Voith Schneider in my videos. Here is one link on the internet showing Z-drive & Voith Schneider www.loyalhannadockyard.com/BOWZDRIVE.htm
@@3DLivingStudio If I wanted to be provocative I'd use other words. Maybe you should go and take a look at a real tug before publishing this nonsense.
They are not TUG BOATS they are just TUGS you don't use the word Boat after Tug no more than FERRY BOAT it is just a Ferry, Tug, or Tanker. A boat is something that goes underwater, and that is only used by submariners.
I googled the word carefully. "Tugboat" is a word, and it is used by many writers, and in many documents thru out my research. "Tug" is short for "tugboat", but I preferably used "tugboat" for a complete meaning and it helps many audience from many countries, who are using auto translation
I have a fishing boat and a Ski boat, neither one goes underwater on purpose
"Tog bout"
