I use that for my warm up sets

"An apple weighs about 1 newton" Top 5 things that make sense

"Okay so how do we get to space?" "What if we threw 33 and a half million apples at the same time?"

the fact that they take into account the weight of the air and some how figure out a correction for the gravity constant at their particular location on earth blew my mind.

I think your mom finally has a rival.

That guy has the perfect voice for his job.

FINE ILL WATCH IT KZfaq THANKS FOR PUTTING IT IN MY RECOMMENDED DAILY FOR 2 YEARS

1,000,000 pounds... That's 500 tons to you and me.

And everyone knows that the PE teachers grandma can lift this

"An apple weighs about 1 Newton. The world record for jet engine thrust..." That escalated quickly

This was extremely cool. The last job I worked on had a ringer crane manufactured by Lampson with a 750,000 lb lifting capacity mounted to a barge with a million lb counterweight. I unloaded trucks one whole summer of crane parts and counterweight. Spent a whole winter and spring assembling the crane and mounting it to the barge with nearly the whole summer used for rigging the barge and testing it. Spent a few years off and on either working on that crane barge or with it and although fascinating at times, working with the same rig day in and day out loses its luster pretty quickly. Our load cells consisted of potentiometers mounted perpendicular to the barge deck along with a load cell mounted to the end of a 7/8” cable at the main lifting line on the block. The main lifting block was usually rigged as either 32 parts of line or 16 parts while having to constantly take it all apart and reassemble it to add and remove boom sections for different projects throughout the duration of the job. Our load cells were sent off on a pretty standard basis for recalibrations and updates but remember a couple of occasions when the interns from engineering had mentioned the facility in this video. Not positive if our cells were sent to this particular facility or not as we had equipment from all over the world though quite a bit of our electronics came from Sweden initially, though when recalibrated they were all done stateside as far as the equipment I dealt with. Again it’s really interesting to see this technology and the math that goes along with it to help take away variables and make things more concrete as it applies to everyday things in the construction side of things along with the safety factor it adds to so many different aspects in industry. 👍

"Excuse me, can i clean here?"

"One physical test is worth a thousand expert opinions" that's such a brilliant quote.

There’s no doubt in my mind that man carries around “several American nickels” in his pocket at all times.

The fact that this is so precise that atmospheric weight and gravitational pull have to be considered is so cool

That guy was charming and I like the fact that you did it in 5:45. It really gave me an appreciation and understanding of what goes into creating precise standards.

Eddie Hall: "So anyway, I started squatting"

For Americans: 1 million pounds! that's heavy For brits : no, that's expensive

As a metrologist in Kenya in the Mass and derived quantities category I have such an appreciation for what he is doing. And as an Engineer by training to see that stack upto rockets being launched by crazy forces makes one feel proud of Science as whole

Another fantastic Metrology topic covered.

I’m honestly more impressed that force transducer can take a million pounds of force and not get squished

That guy has one of the coolest jobs in the world. He's a real heavy metal fan.

I'm gonna be honest, because of the videos that normally get recommended to me I thought this video was gonna be a highly detailed "your mom" joke. The set up would be perfect.

Enter kevdog

I wanna put stuff under it and make a KZfaq channel out of it

1,000,000 pounds, wow...that's a lot of money

work in kilograms? just convert! Use a vacuum chamber? Just add weight! Find the perfect gravitational spot? Just calibrate! I love these solutions XD

I had them test the standards for my 10M lb hydraulic calibration press, which has an ancient plaque on it that reads: "One good test is worth a thousand expert opinions"

When the hydraulic press channel gets a small loan of a million lbs

Finally something i can bench press. Our battle will be legendary

This video was way cooler than I expected it to be

"One physical test is worth a thousand expert opinions". I like that quote.

"the worlds heaviest weight" *my heart when i touch my pockets and do not feel my phone*

Another fact would be the position of the weights located on earth for gravitational pull , the equator v the poles would also have an outcome differential . None the less a great video .

Gigachad: ah those are just my warm up sets

That guy was absurdly personable. I feel it would be easy to get him going and get lost in his world.

mans wearing a hard hat next to a million-pound weight like if it falls on him the hats gonna save his life. love this guy lmao

My desk papers aren’t going ANYWHERE with this bad boy

guy: explaining science things using hand gestures near massive weight me: imagine getting your finger trapped in that

So when is Eddie Hall gonna deadlift this?

Finally a weight I can use to measure against my student debt

Whoa. Effing crazy. I mean, makes total sense, but whoa. Great content.

The rocket when it tried to carry 33,360,001 apples: 💥💥💥

One thing that impressed me about Rick Seifarth is his response to questions about whether these masses are the heaviest calibrated weight in the world is not to be egotistical and assume it's the heaviest weight, but to ask his visitors if they know of another one. You can see that this guy actually cares about his information being correct and that's admirable.

That dude was a great interviewee. Knowdgeable, amiable, and proud of his institution.

Can't imagine the pressure when operating this device.

*Ego lifters want to know your location*

need to fold a piece of paper 7 times with that

Finally, a paperweight I won't knock off.

All you need is a guy named Clarence with headphones and he can deadlift the weight.

I like how the guy’s wearing a hard hat like it’s gonna protect him from 1,000,000 pounds

That one athletic kid in class “Oh yeah this is easy to lift”

Way cooler than I initially thought

Rock Lee watching this: GIVE IT TO MEEE

"What we sell is the vertical force vector that's generated by these weights hanging in the gravitational field." I enjoy that sentence very much.

americans: lbs, pounds - - me an european who only understand kilograms:

finally, my winter bulk will be complete.

Being able to say that you work at the "Mass and Force Group" has gotta feel good

Not as heavy as your teammates in multiplayer

OHHHH! So _THAT'S_ how they make Fig Newtons! Got it, thanks!

“Well, we need to ask this guy” “hello, Cave Johnson here”

Do you even lift bro the video haha Btw this was fascinating.

“ayo bro how much you bench” “mmmmmmm, about 1mil pounds”

I can imagine the mechanism that lifts this weight screams, "YEAH BUDDY! LIGHT WEIGHT BABY!"

Rick Seifarth is awesome!

Facebook dads be like: “yeah i lifted that in my 30’s”

Chuck Norris called and said that he was missing one of his warm up Dumbells.

The new Hydraulic Press channel!?

This guy should be the highest paid middle school science teacher of all time, the way he talks and his energy, I think he could inspire ALOT of kids

Two things this place will never want hear in a place like this *enter kevdog* “Hey can I clean here”

absolutely thrilled and interessant.

Everyone : 1 million pounds, that insanely heavy! Ronnie coleman: lightweight baby!! aint nothing but a peanut!

your mom would still break those scales

the fact that a 1million pound weight is calibrated using the definition of a kilogram, proves that the imperial system is POINTLESS.

Watch this when you have too many beers. It gets challenging to follow.

Love how much this guy loves his craft. So knowledgeable.

Guy: an apple weighs 1 Newton Me: ok, how much does it weigh?

They are getting real close to my lateral raise warmups

lifting goals have been updated

Ronnie Coleman: "Light weight, baby!"

But can it break my bones? I drink milk every day so I'd say I'm pretty dang strong

There's a surprising lack of mom jokes

Now those are some absolute units

World's Heaviest Weight = me after the holidays

Drop it from 1,000 feet and see what happens

I wonder if the accuracy of this is effected by compression in the concrete supporting it. Shifting that much weight has to cause some degree of change.

So if I set 33,360,000 apples on fire I can fly to the moon?

*1 million pounds* WW2 Germany: we can make a tank out of this

Fascinating.

Ngl the "Mass and Force Group" sounds like one of the coolest circles you could be in.

Its 2022 and im still processing this!

Must suck to be the guy who has to clean all the weights every hour to make sure dust doesn't add weight.

0.0005% is pretty good. Better than the interest rate at most banks.

Shaggy could curl that with 1% of his power

Finally, the ball crushing factory

PE teacher could’ve lifted this but, they got injured and couldn’t

2:16 when you hold that pee for 3 hours

How many football fields long is that contraption? And how much water would it displace from an olympic size swimming pool?

When you carry all of the groceries at once

I think that guy is literally the living stereotype of an Engineer.
