It was a great experience to interview Mr. Praveen Vettiyattil. I learned a lot from his thought process and practical approach. I hope you will benefit a lot from this video.
I am Praveen Vettiyattil, inventor of this Expandable Flood Barrier
FAQs
1) What if flood water enters indoor through drainage/septic pipes?
Answer: Fix ball valves on the outdoor side of drainage/septic pipes and close then during a developing flood.
2) Will the walls collapse at 2.5 feet high flood?
Answer: Normal residential brick walls wouldn't collapse upto five feet of flood.
3) Will the floor cave in?
Answer: 90% of floods are below 2.5 height above the flood. Water could leak in through the floor if flood height is above 2.5 feet above the floor, but this inleak would be small and could be pumped out using a diesel/petrol powered pump or could be mechanically drained out. By the time flood water passes through the minutes holes (0.1mm dia) and infinite bends on the thick ground soil to reach below the floor, a lot of pressure is lost. This is why water inleak through the floor would be manageably small. Because a small amount of water will leak through floor at above 2.5 feet flood, there will be no pressure built up below the flood and thus the floor wouldn't cave in.
4) Can I use the toilet in my house during flood
Answer: Flood resistant toilets and Floating toilets are available to buy and install.
I wish you great success. Awesome product.
So basically by admitting what you do in #1, you're saying that this product is effectively worthless and useless unless paired with a plumbing overhaul....
That's swell lmfao
Thank you for the explanation. I was curious how this would apply in the southwestern U.S., but the stucco exteriors of our houses are vented to allow water drainage at the weep screed so the walls would flood in almost all scenarios.
@ExOratioLiberumLibertasOmnius Adding valves is not difficult. A qualified plumber could finish a house in under half a day.
It looks super promising! And the things you mention should be a part of building standards.
@@MyHandelsMessiah It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

This innovative guy is not an IITian isn't it??
So keep your hopes alive and innovate irrespective of your background.❤❤
Love to know this channel is still produces many good education content.
Cool project.
In Venice(IT) we use custom made removable metal barrier to cover openings (for high tides, now used in less places since the activation of M.O.S.E. in 2020)
This is a nice initiative… To bring new and innovate engineering ideas into limelight and provide them base for recognition…
I know you have made many videos on electric vehicles, but have you made any videos on the specifics of the hybrid transmissions, like the one the Prius? It would be really cool to see your take on the functionality and the reasoning behind devices like the Prius Power Split Device (PSD), and especially why they save fuel in the first place.
@Praveenvet You might be able to find a good buyer's market for this in New Orleans, LA USA. It's a coastal US city that is below the water line, and they often experience flooding and evacuations during hurricane season.
Superb innovation. All we are going to see is extreme weather events in coming years. This product is much needed to minimize property loss and save human lives. Much appreciate it.
सर आपका चैनल और आपके वीडियो दुर्लभ हैं
हम आपको सपोर्ट करते रहेंगे आप वीडियो बनाते रहना
Very nice Initiative and definitely a great product.....this product must raise fund/ get investment....!!👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
what make this channel stand out of the crowd is 3D animation.
Has the financial crisis situation of this channel improved? Please give an update because many people like me are genuinely concerned.
This should be taken to SHARK TANK....!!!
WT7 building video? I am very interested. Thanks
Very good interview. Your English is getting much better, very good.
@Lesics 26:14 can this barrier handle the turbulent flow of flood water? Because holding static water is different compared to the turbulent flow which includes pressure energy of the incoming water.
The larger the volume of water (width or depth), the heavier the weight of water putting pressure on a barrier. 1 cubic meter of water weighs a ton. With respect, the volume of water tested is miniscule to an extensive flooding event (eg 500m across) and corresponding weight increase. I'd like to see that barrier stop the water under those conditions.
go learn some fluid mechanics. pressure depends only on the depth(Height).
Pressure of a fluid, only depends on its depth, and not the width of the water column
@@mbala6360 @AyushYadav-zo9lp You are both wrong! Pressure depend also on the fluid velocity. We dont have only static pressure here.
Boeing needs some help with plugging doors on their aircraft
Good joke😂
Good information
You're tackling overflow from outside. What about leakages into the homes from under boundary walls separating the rooms from outside.
This is incredible
I have only watched the first 29 seconds and i can tell you that this thing , automatic or not, already exists in Venice
lets goo!!
Ideas that we need a lot of these ideas that come from geniuses or even people that also went thru the horrific incident themselves which makes even more sense to at least see these invention. Also I've come to realize that peoples inventions are a pedestal of inspiration to an even bigger and better Inventions. in other words Lets Keep Inventing Boys/Girls 🙏
I just watched your Twin Towers Collapse video and am looking for your WTC BUILDING 7 video that was promised. Can you reply with a link?
There is no wtc7 video by Lesics.
In his towers video he said it would take it 1 week to produce a wtc 7 video so that should have been by 9 October.
Immediately after he uploaded the towers video he added a pinned comment the same day saying the following.
*"Currently I am in the middle of* experimental setup development. *It's for WTC7 video.*. Please note, *it will take another two weeks to release the video on collapse of Building 7,* I am a little adamant that the theories of the collapse should match with the experiments. :) "
Worthy of not is that is all his original pinned comment said apart from a link to his patreon account.
Whether that meant 2 weeks or 3 weeks from 2 October, at the latest his wtc7 video should have been uploaded by 23 October, which he failed to do.
At the start of November, I posted a reply to him pointing out he'd passed his own deadlines and asking when the wtc7 would be released. He amended his pinned comment as a result, which says the same as it does today with regard to wtc7 video.
His pinned comment has also been edited to include links to videos that were never in this comment so the wtc 7 info is now buried at the end.
At the start of November Sbin said he was still studying the wtc7 collapse and he he hoped his video would be uploaded by mid December. He did not say which year!!!
Since then he's uploaded 4 new videos and a livrstream so it looks love the wtc7 video has been de-prioritised or completely abandoned .
His pinned comment
chetta ah beach keralathilanno?
love to know this channel
You deserve more views ❤
Hope you get patented for this awesome invention
Hello guys, can you make an aniation explaining IoT. Your animations are very informative and with the right information. Keep it up!
Thanks.
Solving one but create more problems is not a solution. Fix your city/village/house drainage system.
Thanks,it is all about management,you don't manage it,it will manage you.
Very good
Hi..can you do video on construction of Sidu river Bridge in China..I would really appreciate it.thanka
we need this in Australia 🦘
Wow 😮
Common questions
1) What if flood water enters the interior through drainage/septic pipes?
Answer: Here in Brazil, water enters the interior through drainage pipes🌊💧🌧🌎
Yeah it's not actually a solution for anything
install nrv (non return valve ) on the sewers, which will prevent the back flow of sewage / effluents depending upon the location(s) at which the nrv is/are placed.
You can make a video about how scientific calculators and USB sticks and 3D printers work, and computer-integrated manufacturing.
How much pressure it can withstand
Can you explain the working principle of nuclear battery in the new video 🎉😊
Sir make a video on thermocouple
We were always using this method during rainy days. What's the big deal?
@13:37 "Amazing strength..." *Or lack thereof* lol
Yeah one guy push and the other pulled effective force is very less lol
FLOOD.... BOAT .... ITS LIFE SAVING
Can you make on how rice cooker work ?
Great… the door is sealed.
Now go to the bathroom during the flood and behold the Beaty of your new sewage fountain.
Maybe play some patriotic music as it shoots the solid material back feeding into your home.
install nrv to prevent back flow. solution is simple.
Now they don't have money to pay the fees of 3d animators and designer
Excellent videos! One request: Can u please make a video explaining how cryptocurrency works?
Still no building seven?
The moment u fix it
No matter how informative the video is, I (if not we) can't (but not "don't" ) like this (particular) type of video. But we support the channel for the hardwork you've been doing.
do they have an Indian version of Shark Tank?
Bring back the Animated Videos on How things work.
What if there are holes or cracks in walls 😂🧱
Silicon sealants could be applied to waterproof these holes
@@praveenvet im just kidding that's good *inovation* right there 👍
Chennai needs this abd affordable by common ppl
I subscribed to this channel, because I probably saw something interesting. However this "invention" in my oppinion is simply useless. Why?
- You need all door frames to be more or less a couple inches within designed parameters (this doesn't happen too often, especially in poor areas).
- It's mechanically expanded rubber sheet. Nothing miraculous about it. It's using door frame and wall strength to hold on to. If you go in panic mode (like say during a flood, when your life depends on your fast action), you can destroy your door frame, even risking the wall collapse.
- You get just a specific height. What if water goes higher? You have no idea how high will be the flood.
- With all that effort, why don't simply built the water tightening system in your door? Why do you need just a half of your doors protected? Ask flood to go below windows height?
- There are systems of water tightening doors used in water gates for transversing lakes and rivers. Those work just by wood to wood contact and water pressure tightening. Those systems are used in my country for hundreds of years.
- You can have a much simpler and more versatile system if you use just a wood plate with only a rubber gasket around it and and expanding bar to fix it in a door frame in such way, that water pushing from the outside would seal the plate to a door frame. I have such expanding bar in my doors to practice pullups. And it probably costs pennies comparing to all mechanical system covered in a rubber. You can even make those things modular - 2 or 3 plates for one door for complete coverage. But then you should have such set for your windows too. And this is where much simpler and cheaper solutions will beat this thing totally.
And those are just a few of problems I see at first glance. Engineering is amazing, but if your goal in mind is to make something useful for a lot of people, it should be cheap, very easy to use and versatile.
This invention looks like "it costs a lot to manufacture, it can destroy your door frame and it will only protect you untill your windows are flooded".
I don't wand to discourage any inventors. I love when people are designing solutions to their everyday problems. But this thing shows how many view angles on this problem were completly omitted.
Now when I thought for a few minutes about the problem, I got a different idea which would require a bit of manufacturing. A groove around doors and an air pressure expanding tube sitting in a groove. I bet India has a lot of bikes. So probably there is a lot of discarded, but still usable tires and bicycle inner tubes. Such inflatable seal can be made in a day or two, using discarded bicycle tires, with basic tools and a bit of a rubber glue. For extra protection of the expanding seal, you can just nail additional rubber ribbon around doors. Then during a flood, someone would simply take a bicycle pump and seal those doors in a few minutes. After installation, you need only to hang a bicycle pump near your doors and this system can be primed at any time, even with a panic mode on.
I showed two alternative solutions where material is easily accessible, anyone with some basic mechanical skills and a few basic tools can make it in a couple days. But I won't make a production of this and I won't earn anything.🤣
Or maybe? There are flood areas in my country. I kind of liked that rubber seal around doors 🤪
[Edit]
Even simpler solution based on water locks. Outside opening doors. Wooden frame shaped like a cut off top pyramid, with fitted frame and a simple rubber gasket around it. The more water is outside, the tighter the seal becomes. No needs for any other action than just closing the door. Any woodworker would be able to make such doors.
Well explained sir...this is downright factual stuff that ppl dont wanna hear about lol
@@mukundanm2666 Thank you. I'm used to such discussions, because in previous company when we were building warehouse automation, we had meetings where we would discuss many ideas. Every point of view is precious. I look at things from technical perspective and a practical point of view. Other people see challenges from a beauty standpoint, or financial possibilities, or logic behind programming. Only if you manage to combine it all and agree on a solution, you can make something incredible. That's why i wrote my thoughts and I hope Mr Praveen can use them to make his invention better.

Jason graystone fx
WhatI appreciate about Jason graystone fx is his ability to tailor strategies to individual needs. He recognizes that each investor has unique goals and risk tolerances, and he adapts his advice accordingly
In a field as rapidly evolving as cryptocurrency, staying updated is crucial. Jason Graystone fx continual research and adaptation to the latest market changes have been instrumental in helping me make informed decisions
jason. is about limiting losses when you're wrong and maximising gains when you're right, not about being correct all of the time
One thing I know for certain is crypto is here to stay, the only thing that leaves is the people who don't manage their risk. Manage that, or the market will manage it for you. With the right strategies you will survive
this chaneel went to shit , such a shame. hope they could come back
respect!
Wtf do you mean
I hope so too...
Because typical Indian mud, balsa wood, or dried cow dung walls won't simply be washed away by the water... 😂

If you don't want your house to flood, then just be homeless! Simple no home to get flood!
Texas resident uses Aqua Dam to save house from floodwaters
czcams.com/video/ednxK3JPsWQ/video.html
Expensive for many, and storage is problematic.
Aqua Dam costs $8300 seven years back, plus transportation, storage and operational issues. The tube has to filled with about 50 cubic meters of water which takes several hours to fill
This is not how you do it. There is way more effective than this.
They only have 6.8 million Subs cause its all India sub bots ..... sad too cause India has 1.4 billion ......
Omg, his accent, i can’t listen it
Accents are way too thick.

if you dont like floods then just dont live in areas that have a flood risk, its very simple
If you don’t like traffic, then just don’t live in cities, it’s very simple.
Many of people have not so much money to immediately migrate from problematic areas....many things like new land have to buy build new house etc etc
Wow, you are so smart, they should have send you to School 😂
Don’t think there is any people that like floods… Many time those areas are cheaper, and you just have no choice and want to minimise the damages of the flood, while also optimise the economic parameter.
If we facing Problem, we need findout Solution, ecsape is not the Solution.
Thank you
