- World's Largest Ice Carousel 310 meters / 1000 feet in diameter and mass of 30 000 tons. Cut into lake Lappajärvi by Janne Käpylehto's team. Please go check also Janne's video about the ice carousel for more footage and information • Crater lake Ice Carous...
For more ice carousels and other crazy inventions please go check out Janne's channel and ice carousel video czcams.com/video/sgD0nxecfUk/video.html Also please share this and other videos about the project! if we get good amount of views and media hype for this we can get budget to do MUCH LARGER one next year with some sponsors and better equipment.
NICE
Thank You !
Why would fin complain about 3 days in ice water. Sounds like summer day on the beach! Nice work!!
Also needs to be rocket powered get spacex to help
Iam kinda dissapointed,where in explosion????
"Mindblowing amount of work, for very little entertainment" That's my favorite pastime!
lol I've done that myself so many times. Get hell-bent on accomplishing a project and when it's finally done I think... "what was the purpose of this again?"
My mantra 😆
"but that's Finland" I was dying
Custom Coin Rings USA
I thought of marriage in general when I read it.
Also looks dangerous... so high effort AND risk for very little reward.
I guess we need some finnish guys to unstuck the Suez canal !
Yes?
If it were ice. I'm not sure how they'd be with water and dirt. Their demolition work may have worked better.
Instead of rotating the Ever Given ship, why not instead rotate the world around it?
We have multi purpose ice breaks which could be useful tools. Too bad they are far away considering they might have to go around Africa.
I'm not sure how good chainsaws are with sand 🤔
You know they were tired when:
"Is it fifth or sixth day?"
"Yes."
If you have ever heard a Finnish person speak English, you absolutely can not mistake them for hailing from any other part of the world. I love these people.
So you've never heard a Hungarian or Estonian speak. The three of them share the same obscure language group so their accents are all similar.
@@commissargeko4029
One of my very best friends and sparring partner was from Estonia (holy shit was he a through and through savage). I hear the similarities, but they do not sound the same to me at all. That said, I am not so familiar with how Hungarians speak, so it’s possible you’ve got me there.
@@commissargeko4029
So, more to your point, I suppose that using the term “you” as it applies to all people, doesn’t work. I know people who can’t tell the difference between German and Russian accents.
FWIW, Finnish is, partly, a very conservative language: e.g. the word for stone, namely 'kivi' (rhymes with pretty) is thought to have been the same for some 5000 years? Ditto with kala for fish.
@@commissargeko4029 I have recognized Hungarian people featured on TV shows, based on their accent, before I heard their names - they sure tend to have a recognizable accent, but it isn't the Finnish one...
This might have seemed stupid to you guys… But I thought it was one of the best videos and experiments that I've seen you guys do not to mention it was very satisfying to see the ice carousel within a bigger ice carousel… It looked like the internal of a wrist watch
I am particularly impressed with their accuracy. They cut nearly a 1.2 mile circle (stated 300m or 1000ft), with a precision of about 12". I'm surprised that they weren't getting hung up on spots that were just a little too narrow.
@@JWSmythe I think the circle was half that circumference. I'm guessing you used 1000 feet as the radius, but I'm pretty sure it was the diameter. I didn't hear him say it specifically, but he did say they had to cut a kilometer which is about 0.6 miles. I did the same thing at first.
@Zoo Zoo The experiment part is wether they can do it or not.
@@chitlitlah At 2:35 he says you have to cut a kilometer.
The best part about the smaller carousel is that depending on the way it is spun, I think it might create a force that spins the big one in the opposite direction. Because spinning a small one is obviously way easier, it might be pretty helpful.
I've checked, and despite my assumption, the Finnish government does not have a policy of adding LSD to the water. These people are "normal".
Normal for Finns.
@@NoahSpurrier It's all relative...
We do it in Minnesota too.
No matter how I figure it I get around 3000 tons, not 30000 tons. Still a lot for two outboards to push. Those 2 x 4's aren't doing anythiing.
@@lowercherty I don't remember if they said or showed how deep the ice was, but I get 15,764 US tons per meter of thickness. That's using the estimate CZcams gave me for the weight of ice per cubic meter (919 kg), plus using 2.2 as the estimate of pounds/kg because that's all I have memorized. Since that ice appeared thin enough to cut with a normal chainsaw, I'm assuming your estimate is much closer.
As far as Minnesota goes, I will blame the Finns or their descendants. Or something in the water.
@@lowercherty Those 2x4's are doing more than you think. We used to pull fully loaded river barges by hand, mind not very far but we're talking about 4 million pounds of corn not including the weight of the barge itself.
My mom always used to say: “When life gives you long Nordic winters, make massive ice carousels.”
“Jingjang Dong... It’s Chinese”
Yeah never could have guessed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"That's finland for you." Very apt summary.
"It sucks ass". I was rolling. Thanks so much.
"bit hard to steer" really isn't something you want to hear with a massive spinning saw blade in front :D
Why?:):)
Ya, what if that thing took off on him? It would be like the belt sander races, but much more dangerous.
I thought it was really cool that you guys made the smaller ice carousel inside of the larger one. :)
You Fins are special creatures! Unbelievably suited for your icy world! I would not have lasted on that project for more than a few hours but you did it for a week while making it look fun. Respect.
They are a very special breed of humans. On one hand they will willingly go and sit in a room heated to 100°C (212°F) or more, throw water on the stones in the stove so the room is filled with hot steam and use bundles of birch twigs to slap their skin until it's bright red. On the Other hand they will then walk out onto the ice to jump into a hole cut for just this purpose. A sturdy shot of Koskenkorva can help keeping the blood pumping and keep them from freezing to death in the ice cold water. Just don't use to much of it or you may forget to get out in time or decide to checkout the bottom of the lake. Neither of which is a good idea especially in the winter...
So, according to Wikipedia there is an estimated 2 to 3.2 million saunas in Finland, and that's for a total population of about 5.5 million...
"Ugh, the Finish Guys are up to something again" -Fish 2021
In Finland, even the fresh fish are frozen 🐟🧊
Lol go to Russia:):)
That kind of blew my mind.
I think the fish was dead before it froze into the ice.
I've seen experiments where frozen fish come back to life when unfrozen. If they didn't, I suppose all the fish would be wiped out in cold countries.
@@kay110 The lakes never fully frozen even in the coldest places so actually not.
I really enjoyed the "what am I doing with my life" moment at the end. I laughed hard.
The amount of dangerous work put into this thing is staggering. I love it.
Its not that dangerous if you have a warm place to retreat too. It takes awhile for hypothermia to set in. It looks like they were wearing good cold water gear. Cotton snow pants would fail horribly. They likely have insulating material that does not soak up water.
@@stefanr8232 Well I think the more dangerous part is getting absolutely crushed by the ice if you fall in at the wrong time.
St. Agatha, Maine just beat it! 1,234 feet on 4/3/21
“I really think it will spin today” -- it did not spin that day lmao.
I just love Anni's gloves!
this clearly shows that Finlands ppl, really are the happiest in the world :)
The happiness came from the Koskenkorva consumed in the evenings, not that work done in daytime. Finns got a special angle of approach to drinking, its important but the fun is more in the drinking itself and not so much in the things you do for fun when drinking. Had a few words with two guys from Finland in Philippines once, as many words as you can expect from a Finn (not a lot), they went there to drink together, just like they did when they were at home in Finland, seems pointless but to them it was probably exactly right. Same thing one time in Russia, a group of Finns arrived at the hotel, next thing we saw they were filling up shopping carts in the liquor store, then we didnt see them again, they stayed in their rooms drinking and i guess they all agreed it was a helluvva successful vacation. And then you know why they would stand 5 days in ice water.
The way he smiles and looks into the camera and said "It sucks ass" is one of my top youtube moments 😂
10:46 Yo dawg, I herd you like ice carousels so we put an ice carousel in your ice carousel so you can spin while you spin.
"Have you ever stood in cold water for 3 days?" Does a week of carrying buckets of maple sap through mud, slush and spring melt count? Cold wet feet and hands the whole time. My share was about 4 gallons of syrup though and that was pretty nice.
@Tyrone Jackson Haha, you win. :)
This was super cool! I love what you can do with ice in finland.
Really?? Cool, and even super cool? It was so boring that i barely watched it, then went to the linked channel and was even more bored, But i think it was a little cool for the guys working there, i bet that every night after work they had a lot of Koskenkorva vodka at the hotel 300 meters away. Finns will not stand 5 days in ice water for no good reason but getting drunk after is a VERY good reason for everything in Finland.
@@pflaffik Where I am from our lakes used to freeze over, but never like this, and now they don't even freeze at all. So, cool for me. I could see that five hours+ in ice water would be a problem. Vodka would be good for that. :D
Could have used 4 outboard motors at 12, 3, 6, 9 o’clock positions to keep the forces evenly distributed and not move sideways
The circle doesnt weight the same amount on every place so it would have gone uneven eighter way I suppose.
Probably just get crushed by 30,000 tonnes of ice
@@randomdude7635 Just apply power accordingly. More power where there is more resistance.
In Norway one of the large export items was ice. This was before refiguration, so ice chests was used. The ice was stored in sawdust mounds, and sold in blocks.
Is it me or is the frozen fish in the block of ice just as amazing
blocks of frozen elk, foxes and birds also exist, pick your flavor!
From Ohio U.S. , this is awesome!
King Dewine would not approve!
@@brendanberry7403 He doesn't seem to approve of much..
First, you didn't even mention how cool the small carousel inside the large one, rotating *the opposite way* was.
Second, next time just get the explosives guys to bury a few km of detcord in a huge circle and blow it loose all at once. No chainsaws required!
Firing 1 km worth of detcord on the ice would be pretty bad for all the fish in the lake, no?
@@MikkoRantalainen Lethal overpressure would be very local, even then the ice should absorb most of that leaving a nonlethal "thump" to propagate into the water. The fish that aren't frozen into "Finnish snacks" in the ice might freak out for a moment but that would be it.
@@MikkoRantalainen no
WOOOOOOOOOOH BABY THAT'S WHAT WE'RE WAITING FOR
i'm going to Maine's World record ice carousel attempt tomorrow! Awesome video!
They should build a couple curved sails on opposite sides of the carousel, so the wind can help rotate it.
Would that actually work? My brain can figure out if they would just cancel each other out, or actually help it move??? Maybe sails on only one side?? I don't know!!
@@javaking1000 It's plausible. The sails would be curved so that the wind catches in the concave side of the sail on one half (applying force) while mostly slipping around the convex side of the sail on the opposite half. Similar to how an anemometer spins horizontally in the wind, even though both the preceding and receding side are being hit by the wind.
@@plixplop Ahh, great point!
Glad you summed it up at the end, the way that you did. I was thinking the same thing....for the amount of labor and
danger to life and limb involved in undertaking that project, it just did not seem to be worth it. But thank you for your
amazingly adventurous spirit!!
That looked like so much work!
It may have been alot of work, but I enjoyed seeing the spinning carousel inside a spinning carousel. Thanks
This deserves way more views
I think of this when people tell me being a CZcams content creator is easy.
Yeah.
Right.
The small carousel within the large one is throwing the experiment off. If it was dead center to the large one, then not particularly. But being detached AND off-center now changes the larger carousel's center of mass significantly. Not only is the center of mass no longer near the center of the disc, but also the larger disk is constantly butting against the smaller one, which will decrease acceleration, and conversely, increase deceleration.
The mass from the smaller carousel is not removed, consequently the large carousel is balanced. One way of looking at it is to imagine that the large carousel (without the smaller one) has its center of mass a certain distance and a certain direction from the geometric center of the large circle. While the small circle constantly pushes outwards in the exact opposite direction to the offset of the large circle (The larger carousel must give the smaller carousel a centripetal acceleration, in order for the smaller one to stay in its hole). Thus the forces cancel each other out.
The only consequence of having the small carousel off center in the big one is that the small one will hit the big one to a greater extent and this will lead to the smaller carousel having greater frictional resistance. => The smaller one is harder to spin, while the larger one is not affected.
@@gustavjohansson6625 Thanks.
Can you explain "The mass from the smaller carousel is not removed"?
If you drew a diameter line, with the small carousel completely to one side, then the side with no cutout will have a higher mass, No?
So easy to step into the cut and drown and or freeze to death, you people are mad, i love it👍👍
I love the outro so much. The reality of these projects.
I'm going to watch a volcano video after this to warm up!!!
Crazy to see my hometown got the worlds biggest ice carousel!
That’s OVER 9000!!!!
Yes?
9000 what?
Congratulations my Finnish friends, from St .Louis USA
I loved the video where there was the spinning wheel INSIDE the spinning wheel. Beautiful videos.
That is literally one of the most amazing things Ive seen of late. Wonderful
Should be engine powered to spin it as fast as possible :D
I have plans for really fast one. I have been just too busy :D
We can wait!! What a great record! Love to you all from south west England :-)
@@Beyondthepress just for fun you could put a pin where you want the center , run a cable out to your chainsaw skid and cut a more accurate circle.
You made a great toy for families to go out and enjoy for the day . :)
@@heartobefelt they used laser survey equipment to layout a perfect circle. That wasn't the problem. It was stuff getting in the gap jamming it up.
@@Beyondthepress rockets??!!
I love how at the end of it all, he calls it stupid 😂
You two have the coolest life.
3:25 "Slightly modified"
I love you humor Lauri, it's so nonchalant at times!
Janne Kapylehto has inspired the world! he is smart and interesting! the American carousels are big but Janne makes them works of art! Roger Morneault has his hands full beating this one! it looks like Chuck and Roger and friends need to team up and out "art" Janne and the Finns!
I found a natural ice circle in rural Idaho. I have a video of it on my channel if you want to check it out! It was very cool and naturally formed by the river currents. Never seen anything like it before. If you know the area, it was on the bridge crossing just next to Bear World (is that place still in business?).
1000 ft (310 m) diameter you say? Ok, we'll just multiply that by pi, and, yep that's 1 kilometer of circumference. And they had to cut that twice to create the gap. So over 2 km of sawing ice to make this happen. Mindblowing.
With how large that lake is I won't be surprised if I see a 100,000 ton ice carousel in my lifetime.
Great video, beautiful lanscape !!
Congratulations from Buenos Aires
I am watching this as there is a thunder storm going on outside as it has been over 36 C today. You people are brilliant, love this channel, subscribed!
I love your energy; you two are the best! keep up the awesome work!
"That's Finland for you." I LOVE it! So how to I become a citizen?? Spending 5 days on a frozen lake knee deep in water with good people is my idea of a good time!
to each their own, i guess :D
The comments at the end make me laugh out loud. Such honesty is always funny when its presented that way.
"This is stupid" lol
Lauri "Have you ever been standing three days in a row in icy water? Don't try. It's sucks ass!" I died hearing Lauri say it sucks ass. My thoughts exactly.
I feel this channel has become more interesting than the hydraulic press channel.
Maybe ONE outboard motor was a bit too optimistic…
That's impressive! And that ice looked super thick!!!
This makes me very happy.
This was fantastic!!
Thank for the work you put into this video 😊
It's cool the ice carousel has an ice carousel in it.
People in LA, perfect weather almost 365 days a year, every food choice in the world = Most miserable people on earth
Scandinavian people, long harsh winters, minimal sunlight for months, salted fish on the menu for most meals = Happiest people on earth.
Your so wrong about Scandinavia I don't even know where to begin. Stop living on MSM lies.
I like it very much. Thank you.
Finding the fish was pretty cool. A better look at that woulda been awesome.
Mahtavaa kattoa tätä vimpeliläisenä!
I live in Vimpeli, which is located on the east side of the lake Lappajärvi. Cool to see BTP was here recently!
Was the Suomiss Book of Whirl Records there to record it?
Next year, strap some rockets to the carousel and really get it spinning :)
I live in the very north of Wisconsin, 46 deg N, well south of you. We get some brutal winters with lots of snow, and we get deep "lake effect snow" from Lake Superior. Our lakes are large & the winters are long, but I've never gotten so "shack-happy" that I would put that amount of effort into something that wouldn't produce a nice fish-fry! Fun video!
I was imagining them using a circle of bangalore torpedo to go through the ice all at once. They always like a good bang
You guys could cut two notches 180° apart, on the edges of the spinning disc, so you could fit an electric boat engine in each one to make it spin faster and without noise. Cheers from Brasil!
Attach outboard motors both ends and see how fast it spins..:)
Thumbs up for this video.
Your guys content is so entertaining, educational, and just brilliant. So fun to watch you guys are always coming up with great ideas for content. The best CZcams channel I have seen come out of Finland ever!
Entertaining and brilliant, yes. I would also add that their enthusiasm is infectious. However, this channel, along with HPC, are anything but educational. Anni's channel is probably as close to educational as any of their channels ever get, as it sometimes gives a glimpse into the Finnish culture.
....and this is the spirit that keeps Northern Europe safe from Russia.
Yep..this relentless determination is why Finland is not part of Russia. Sisu
You need 3 small wheels in the gap to keep the carousel in the center so it doesn't get stuck.
Then you can place a car (or better multiple cars) with front wheel drive and automatic transmission on the gap. Place it in such a way that 1 front wheel is on the carousel( pointing in direction of rotation, tangential) and the other 3 wheels are on the Ice around the carousel. Now you can apply the handbrake, transmission in Drive and maybe put something on the gas pedal.
reminded me of the club penguin island where everyone just stood with a jackhammer
Right! Battery powered jackhammers.
A lot of work indeed.
Take my like as payment.
What an undertaking!!!!!
Good work Janne! I think Janne also must be in charge of the Finnish Space Program because he has a NASA jacket on.
He has worked for nasa actually!
Finland has been in space business for a long time, mainly as a subcontractor, producing many vital parts and systems for mainly European spacecraft. The Finnish scientists have and are participating practically every major European Space Agency mission, providing occasionally also small, but important hardware.
Add the meteorological sensors used by ESA and NASA on almost every Mars surface mission, sensors on the landing legs of Rosetta’s Philae lander that made first contact with the comet surface, software running on several satellites, microwave technology on Sentinel-1 satellites, electric field and particle detectors, X-ray instruments and the electronics controlling the power supply for many spacecraft, Finland is definitely not lacking the space segment knowhow. It’s just not a Finnish way to shout about these kinds of success stories.
The huge main mirror of the world’s largest space telescope, ESA’s Herschel, was polished to its mind-boggling accuracy in Finland. The background radiation detected by Planck mission was in fact gathered with Finnish radio receivers. And the GOMOS instrument aboard the Envisat environmental satellite was more expensive and complicated than many small satellites.
Thumbs up for so much work
"Luckily I had my snow blower with me." :)
If only Texas had been so lucky.
And it was a mean looking blower, with tracks and the ability to eat 2 feet of wet snow without slowing.
How is that not the _Finnish Origin Story?_
I love the LaRC jacket! I visit there often for work.
i have been waiting 28 days for this video!!!
Her mittens are awesome!
Set up some boat sails around the perimeter and alternately raise them and lower them to get it rotating and keep it rotating.
We need more Anni in huge parkas with even bigger smile!
Leaving a comment here for the algorithm to snack on. Here's looking forward to the next big project!
What a wonderful way to not be bored.
Most would just capitalize off of the thing they have but yall always push for better. And are quite creative.
Love your off the cuff comments they're hilarious
love you guys, so humble
Take that technology to the Suez Canal and straighten the vessel.
Excellent!
Amazing! And great!🎡
