- Are modern ships stronger than the Titanic? In Floating Sandbox we get to find the ultimate unsinkable vessel of the past present and future, and we learn that perhaps modern ship building is going in the wrong direction! This is why I won't go on cruise ships...

RCE after finding out that dropping a cruise ship from 200 feet in the air causes it to snap in half... "I'm learning so much about ship building."
😂
Right? Absolutely nothing he did in this video were "fair comparisons" hahaha he doesn't really realize the size differences of these ships and stuff..
@@smilemore1997 yeah lol
Ocean liner, but close enough xD
Lol
It's good to see that most of these ships are built so the front doesn't fall off at all
These cruise ships are built to very rigorous maritime engineering standards
@@hcom977 such as?
@@noonelivesforever Having the front not fall off
@@noonelivesforever Google is your friend. Or just watch videos on CZcams. Have fun.
@@Soken50 Why did the front fall off? Well, a wave hit it. Is that unusual? Oh yeah, at sea? Chance in a million!
Those sections are called "water tight compartments" and they are used to section a ship off if it's flooding. Didn't know being a Navy engineer would come in handy today. Ships will buckle when there is a massive cavitation under the hull like that, they rip themselves apart by their own weight, that's how torpedoes work with a massive displacement off water.
As a shipbuilder who builds aircraft carriers, I can confirm that navy engineers are definitely some of the engineers of all time.
@@nukewurld In general the Navy just is.
@@nukewurld -_- so you guys are the ones who build the deck drains higher than the deck
@@cody180sx I ain't a tin bender. Before I moved into Metrology I was a shipfitter. I built the houses. Someone else furnished them
this supports the emerging theory that the Titanic scraped against an underwater ice shelf instead of the iceberg ripping along the side of the ship
Technically isn't the AtAt historic? A long time ago in a galaxy far far away
There is a comic where they find themselves in our galaxy and it is around the 1700-1800s
"Anti-waves" are also known as troughs, like rogue waves (freak tidal waves that appear seemingly out of nowhere) rogue troughs exist and between them are likely responsible for the disapearance of a number of ships.
Just goes to show you can't trust a rogue.
Yeah isn't a rogue trough by the opposite just a massive fucking hole opens up in the ocean and then you're gone. That makes me not want to go on a cruise period. At least with a giant wave you can see it and know what is going on, a rogue trough is like a hundred times more terrifying
@@Vladimir_4757 Yeah basically, they're rarer than rogue waves but given how ships are constructed essentially a death sentence
I think the highest recorded one was some 53m high. And as far as i know most ships are rated to 13m waves. A 53m wave will shred, smash and mangle stell. A battleship taking it from the front might survive. For its armor many more watertigh compartments and the simple fact that a battleship can be locked down watertight by design (top as well). Though it might joust snap in half
@@Manuelslayor Yeah the superstructure of most civilian ships will be treated like toilet paper by a wave that large. The Queen Mary was hit by a rogue wave 28m tall while carrying nearly 12,000 troops and crew and only barely didn't capsize.
"That hole at the end" is the APU. Basically a tiny jet engine which provides electricity and pressurized air when the engines aren't running.
No, its the butthole of the plane.
I was really hoping to find this comment. A lot of people don't know much about modern planes lol
When I worked in aerospace manufacturing I always called it the planus (:
@@calvincooper2661 😆
Also known as the Auxiliary Power Unit. It can be used to spin up the engines without an external APU, can provide extra power in case the engine generators are not operating at peak, and the space shuttle had several APUs.
Before your channel, I had no idea I loved pointless engineering. As a cruise ship nerd, I especially love this video 💙🚢
Looking at the animations it’s hard not to notice the fact some compartments in the cabins still have all their air after hope is lost. Terrifying to be in one of those! You know you can feel the angle and motion. 😬
That actually has happened in recorded maritime history. The HMS Derbyshire was a tanker where most of the oil tanks flooded and dragged the ship down in a matter of minutes. The crew didn't even have time to get anywhere near a life boat so they were in an air pocket as their ship sank. It's truly terrifying to think about and I don't envy anyone in such a situation.
@@879PCi mean it is one of the most peaceful ways to die, it’s gets silent underwater while you die peacefully in your sleep caused by the lack of oxygen.
"Words Matt has never heard"
Editors are getting feisty again, RCE, might need to go visit the editing basement or consider cutting their rations
LMAO
I for one, really enjoy the banter between matt and his editors..
"That is a massive fire hazard" under a minute later "why did we change from wood into metal?" Also an actual fully wooden boat the size of current cruise ships wouldn't be able to sustain itself under its own weight withought bending i believe
The ark was bigger than a cruise ship
@@jenniferwheelis3878 about 2 times smaller than the titanic, and the titanic isn't big compared to most current day cruiseships
@@jenniferwheelis3878no no wth?
@@mauropinto1277 Basically, it was as big as possible for ships of the day.
@@SupersuMCmuch bigger than possible for the day funnily enough.
Though it’s a myth it’s believed to have taken place in about 5,500 BCE…
4:04 nearly spit my drink out when he said "Will and Kate or whoever" comedy gold
So the "anti-wave" is a thing just not in the way that you think. See when an underwater anti-ship mine explodes underwater it creates a bubble that rushes to the surface and as it does it flexes in and out causing hull whip in the ship. When it reaches the surface it ruptures and sends a high pressure water jet through the ship splitting it in half. The last thing to happen is when it ruptures it opens a void under the ship basically causing it to float in the air for a moment before it falls into the void and the water rushes back in filling the void and finishing the job of breaking the ship in half. The void would be considered your "anti-wave". "Scientific" explanation courtesy of the US Navy.
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate this tidbit lol it's very interesting.
The hole at the end of the plane, is the APU exhaust (a diesel engine exhaust pipe, like on a car) that engine allows the plane to power its electronics before the main engines are switched on and normally shouldn't be restarted before the engines go offline after reaching its destination. Sully activated it after he lost his two engines, that saved everyone because the automatic pilot could maintain the aircraft horizontal to ensure a better splashing in the Hudson river.
The Ram Air Turbine only generate power for a few screens and not total automation, the APU is more powerful.
Plan es are structurally very weak, they just have to wisthand wind and internal pressure, otherwise they are very lightly built.
Titanic spliting in half with a wave was the first conspiracy theory, many people couldn't believe that an iceberg could sink a ship that size and as it was the biggest on its age, reasonsable people just thought that the ship wouldn't have wistanded a wave. Even if they were right on paper, weather was absolutely calm that day and no waves so big to allow that to happen were registered.
The main weakspot of any ship is its keel. Instead of planting a bomb inside, you should simulate a torpedo hit just UNDER the keel. Results are most of the time devastating.
Wooden ships are light and can take quite a punch because they deform a lot. However, we went into metal ship hulls because of the introduction of boiler rooms feeding propulsion. Boilers would be too heavy for a wooden ship to bear, so a metallic ship could be bigger and thus allow a better boyancy.
Reminds me of PowderToy, i'd love to see RCE review some powder toy builds like reactors and stuff :)
Same
i love powdertoy, so i support this idea strongly.
I want this to happen
The best part is it's free, and also that there's a community of bomb creators on there that you can test on the various builds.
RCE: "I'll save the ship!"
Also RCE 3 seconds later: "Oops I dropped it..."
The pins aren't actually supposed to poke holes in the ship, they're supposed to keep the object under them from moving. But the forces moving the ships around are a lot stronger than the ones holding them together, so it just rips the chunk under the pin right off.
Yes I don't know how he did not see that?
I’m pretty sure they stopped using wood because the size of the ship was dictated by the size of trees. Trees are smaller now since we been cutting them down. And there is a max size fore a wooden ship before it rips it self apart because the different parts of the ship are moving in different directions. I’m pretty sure the metal ship broke when you drop them just because they where heavier than the wood ship. And water is pretty hard when your fall from like 1 mile up.
Smaller, younger, and less dense -- which is bad for strength. Sustainable logging promote accelerated growth as density doesn't matter when it's pulp.
Just read an article about restorers of Norwegian stave churches despairing because 150-200 year old trees are seriously hard to come by and thus ridiculously expensive. The new stuff is just not good enough.
No it had nothing to do with the size of trees lmao.
Its simply because metal is stronger than wood, and as industrial technology improved rapidly in the 1800’s it made the manufacturing of huge metal stuff possible
Fun Fact: Even though the Titanic and maybe the Olympic didn't hit a rouge wave, the RMS Lusitania has hit one. During January 1910 she was doing her normal trip from Liverpool to New York. But one night she encountered a 75 ft. wave going towards her. The wave hit her and she survived without no-one dying. Even though one died they did however have her bridge was in ruins. Having her bridge bend 2 inches backwards. Just a little Fun Fact that people might know.
"The bumhole of the plane", years of engineering study at University clearly not wasted on Matt.
Lol right
He isn't even a real engineer
Watching RCE learn about what pins are is very wholesome. A little bit more and he might even learn about what they do.
Is there a chance that the model of the Titanic has been specifically programmed to snap in half and sink like it did in the movie and IRL?
Especially considering that if it snapped perfectly in half, without staying attached, it should be able to stay afloat. Particularly the bow.
The ship isn't built like today
i dont think it was programmed to do that, its just the hull on that ship was made of weaker materials, that why gabriel made an unbreakable version.
"We've got a double-decker Titanic!" - A brand new sentence I didn't think I'd hear today.
Weird, the Sully Hudson Ditch proved that Airbuses at least float pretty well even with lots of people on the wings :)
that airbus still had the landing gear up. it also had a small hole torn in the back
for anyone, the game is called “Floating Sandbox”
is it on steam
AT-ATs are from the past. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..."
well, the other galaxy's past, but earth doesn't have them yet so probably our own future if we make something like it at some point. :P
Memo to self. Do not give RCE the thanos gauntlet.
Or any button ever that might make him think "what does this do?"
I’m actually gonna chime in with some AT-AT Facts. They are actually completely submersible! As we see them in Jedi Fallen Order, they are capable of walking underwater
Since the AT-AT was made a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the ark could theoretically be based on its design.
It seems as though the Titanic has a reputation for splitting in half
That eiffel tower moment was pretty accurate to what is happening in France right this moment, we're tearing ourselves apart.
Dang man.. a lot of the world is like this at the moment. It's madness... I really hope you're doing okay.
@@smilemore1997 Yeah, it's fine, I just bike a lot more since public transport is in a state I can only describe as "guerilla warfare" or "whack'em all" and no food shortages so far at my local shops though that might become an issue if protests last beyond this week :x
Honestly the AT-AT might be the most surprising thing outa this.
“We seemed to turn our cruise liner into a submarine liner” 😳 love that this came out before the titan went down.
He hasn’t realized that the Titanic splits in half easily because the real one did. Just makes it easier to replicate the real sinking. Then again, I don’t care, and it’s much funnier to imagine the titanic just absolutely disintegrating at the most minor inconvenience
The hole in the butt of the plane is the APU, or Auxiliary Power Unit, basically a small engine to start the engines, just for future reference when dealing with airplanes
Uhm actually it's called the Anus.
@@PhaTs00p it's where a plane does a poo
Titanic would survive a direct hit with ice berg but the move by crew to try to pass by sealed its fate.
Would it really???
@@smilemore1997 yeah, if titanic hit the iceberg directly on the bow then the breach is only at the front. Titanic sank because the iceberg made a long cut through at least 5 watertight compartment. If the Titanic hit the iceberg with it's bow then there is probably only 1 compartment flooded. Remember, Titanic can still remain afloat with only 2 watertight compartment flooded.
I do marine engineering, and in naval architecture class our lecturer used simulations like this to teach buoyancy equations and weight distribution, then she would destroy the ships like you are here😂
I hope i never go on a boat you worked on
Sounds like a fun teacher. XD
The problem with doing all the tests relative to the ship's own size is that comparisons between ships mean nothing
😢
Tod swaddle is now becoming a part of my lexicon. :)
I know nothing about shipbuilding, so I've always found it really impressive that ships seem so solid and stiff even though they're made out of fairly flexible materials like wood or iron or steel. Like, you see skyscrapers swaying during earthquakes, but when a ship hits a big wave it seems like the front and back react simultaneously and there's no bending or flexing at all. If the breaking point is reached, the ship will snap like a twig...but even the pieces look stiff and strong on their own. They don't just implode or collapse like a stack of cards. That's pretty amazing.
the pins are used to pin stuff in place
I'm actually surprised he didn't realize this...
@@smilemore1997 hes becoming an architect
A tsunami usually stays underwater for the most part
However that looks more like a rogue wave
great timing on the sub joke if you were watching this today like me lol
Lol yes l9l
12:10 I just realized the AT-AT is just a long legged turtle.
Matt doesn't know about the legless at-at boat which is basically what he made
I'm guessing the Empire fielded those on aquatic planets? Just take the AT-AT and remove the legs or replace them with floaties?
@@stylesrj Yes they were fully submersible and had repulser lifts for steering but we're a bit of an oddity as the had to redo a lot of the troop deployment mechanisms and the empire was a generalist military and didn't like specialized equipment unless absolutely necessary. This is due to Grand Moff Tarkin and The Tarkin doctrine. I'll stop here because this is a lot of text. Yes I am a huge nerd.
From now on i'm going to refer to the APU exhaust on planes as the "bumhole of the plane" 🤣🤣
Turns out Noah's ark was actually made of rubber.
0:55 that Patrick boo got me. Also there is this new management game that would be really nice if rce could play: Big ambitions
That ones on my list!
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming yppooo
You really sound surprised that the arc is invincible, but it has the power of god on its side
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Arc - arch you can see why engineering always is best.
Wood IS the superior building material. Just think of Viking longships. Wide, low, and being made of wood -- and thus flexible as a rubber band -- they conquered the seas!
13:00 To show YOU the power of Flex Tape, RCE sawed the Eiffel tower in half!
Im actually so happy you are playing this!
It doesn't help the Titanic that one of its sibling ships sunk not too long after it, but honestly the ship would've probably been very nice, it sunk due to human error and a lack of foresight. (Also an engine fire that weakened the hull and wasn't able to be fixed before launch) Also I think the middle of the Titanic model may be weaker then the rest or something since it breaks there consistently
Probably done on purpose tbh. That's why it's famous after all.
@@Adriethylwhy would they do that on purpose? Shitty theory.
The double bottom hull is strong. it just breaks in half because of the length of the ship the longer the ship the more chance it breaks. Even modern ships can break in half with their length
The ships hull is the same strength maybe they strengthen the middle section a bit since one rough wave will destroy a long ship
If theres engine fire it could have been exploded the engines and cannot sail considering there's always fire going on the ship (boilers)
To be fair the arc was built using an invincible tree's wood(i think)
So kinda expected that
No mention in the source documents of any properties of goferwood. It's a hapax legomenon. Leaving that aside, how exactly would one go about cutting down an invincible tree and making building materials of it?
@@Amigo21189 The answer is to throw critical thinking out the window and not question it at all.
5:35 That hole is called an Auxiliary Power Unit outlet, which is the exhaust pipe for a small turbine engine whose only purpose is to suppy the aircraft with electrical power, compressed air and hydraulics when the engines are turned off.
Used in many situations but most commonly on the ground during pushback and boarding in order to reduce fuel consumption by avoiding to turn on the main engines until the plane is ready for takeoff.
Hey RCE!
l don't know if you gonna read that or at least find but, l glad that you enjoyed my A320-200 (plane) and that you used it. But ye, you probably noticed it wasn't all great. So in details, first one with a livery have structure which can be used only on the ground, tried before combining water and ground structures but had to do separate. Second, those brown things actually slides for water, just second plane for some reason doesn't have textures on. Also you probably noticed that structure at all not the best, it is because it was my second ever plane actually, my new planes much better now.
And fun fact, there also in the files you can find BAE-146 and Fokker F28, though Fokker F28 one of the first planes as well.
Guess l answered on some questions but if there some other questions left feel free to ask, and by the way in case of l can send you more of my planes, such as E195 or B737 family (from -300 to -900) with different liveries and stuff. l'm sure you will like them.
Once again thanks for using my stuff, it makes me feel better actually!
-Raynair.
You should test it on a mega iceberg next. Id be curious about that result.
Hello RCE. Will we get another Timberborners soon?
Yes pleeeeees
Hopefully this week!
5:35 that would be called the Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), and is basically a smaller, less powerful jet engine used to get power started up to the engines as well as electricity to the plane when the engines are not started up.
The "hole at the end" of the plane is typically the exhaust port for the Auxiliary Power Unit. It's basically a tiny jet engine that doesn't produce a whole lot of thrust, but doesn't take much power to start up, and is attached to an alternator to generate power and pressurize hydraulics for the plane. They'll turn it on as passengers are boarding to keep the electricity on in the plane once the ground crews have disconnected ground power, and then are used for starting up the main engines.
The arc has an easier time because it is shorter and shorter.
The modern ships are harder because they are taller and longer.
"Why doesn't the blimp move after I PIN it with dozens of PINS?"
The titanic was considered unsinkable due to it having so many compartments, it could stay afloat with 4 compartments full o'water, but not 5, it could perfectly survive if it was a head-on impact, and they shouldn't reverse while turning, that reduces the water pressure in the rudder, making it turn less.

The bumhole is called the APU- Auxilliary Power Unit
Mr RCE, you say the antiwave is not a thing.
Are you sure?
I think if a giant sinkhole would open up underneath a large body of water, i think the water above will drop down with it, right?
Not as exaggerated as in this game, but still.
I think if a sinkhole opened up in the ocean it would make a dip in the water but the water around it would rush in to fill the gap instead of the effect moving outwards
@@xobler2508 very true that, but if the sinkhole is large enough, the dip could be very large. And if it were to happen right infront of a large ship, i think it would notice it.
Not as exaggerated as in this video, but still noticable enough.
And, depending on the age and structure, the ship might be damaged.
There is a video of a cargo ship breaking up by heavy waves. Obviously the ship was already not in the best shape. But reasonably small waves broke it up.
So i think a big sinkhole, like really really big, or perhaps a sudden downwards movement of a continental plate (or whatever) could create a dip in the waterlevel that can cause damage.
Btw, what if 2 tsunami waves meet.....
They bounce and go in opposite directions again, right? So if the ship is right in the middle, such a dip might occur i would think.
But, this is all my opinion with no real life experience what so ever.
It just seems reasonable, this idea, as in: it could happen. Not often, but it could.
Name of app/game

the hole at the end of a plane is the APU. Its a tiny engine used to power it when its on the ground.
Matt is like a kid playing with his boats in the bath
"I'm learning so much about ship building" 😂😂😂
Seems like the Titanic model was designed to break at the exact point it did IRL for people who want to recreate the even in game, and would get mad, if it didn't pan out the way it did in the James Cameron movie. And maybe to make sure, they weakened the hull at midships.
I'd Recommend stormworks: build and rescue you basically could build anything making boats is the best thing
Look guy, modern engineers can't compete with a God designed floaty boy.
The Ark was made from basswood, gopher wood. It is hard, light, doesn't burn and is easy to work. Most wood carvings are done in basswood.
5:35
That is the exhaust of the APU or Aux. Power Unit. It's a gas turbine engine that provides power to start the main jet engines if a starting truck isn't available at the airport.
7:14 You can take Matt out of the space program but you can't take the space program out of Matt.
Ironically getting this video recommended now
Planes only float for a few minutes to just under an hour depending on size and damage and which doors are opened in water. Nearly all planes that aren't seaplanes will in fact sink.
This is how you get on the “no fly” list
