Do you have any information about the carbon fiber hull being cured in an Autoclave? I thought it was not. But I have heard it was. I think i am mistaking an autoclave for a vacume chamber..

Surface prep is # 1for bonding! I don't care, build sub, go to the bottom, but don't let other people drink your Kool-aid.

1:33 "There's 667 layers of carbon fiber...." Given the circumstances, 666 might be more appropriate.

Stockton Rush tried to use his ego to displace a few cubic metres of water 4km under the sea.

With my very limited knowledge of carbon (carbon main spar wing and bicycles) I agree 100% bonding and only working in one direction is crazy, glueing with that small flange, crazy stuff!!

It’s pretty obvious stubborn idiots built it. See I’m never even built a sub and I know I wouldn’t use that material ever. Those kind of pressures are not to be taken lightly (pun intended)

EXCELLENT REVIEW!!! 🔥

notice his jacket arm patch is not embroidered. just a cheap silkscreen sticker. did the disclaimer exemplify the risk that it is a game of russian roulette? during his speaking introduction he looks like he is speaking to an audience. I bet there was no one there. nobody cared.

There wasn’t nearly enough overlap between that flange and the tube end. WTF. Mixing the Lowe’s glue with a stick. Sooo many air bubbles. Throwing other shit in for good measure. 🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣No crossing of the fibers???!!!. He is guilty of four counts of manslaughter.

Gluing two components together...to go to the ocean floor...yikes! Prayers to the families who lost their loved ones in this disaster.

Oh no, we got some of those poisonous pine trees in California 💀

I never understood why a plain glued butt joint could be considered to be strong

He went to the bottom and a ball of twine. This is why he died

Compression killed them. Carbon fibre is for tension.

1:40 at least he didn't have to suffer swallowing while talking anymore

Bonds ,glue.. very weakkk.....

Every time I see this assembly video, I get the feeling that it is done upside down. I think if I were doing this, I would have the titanium ring on the floor with the channel full of glue and then lowered the carbon fibre hull onto it.

THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST VIDEO I HAVE WATCHED TO DATE CONCERNING THE TITAN TRAGEDY TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE COMMENTS BY THOSE WHO HAVE WORKED WITH CARBON/COMPOSITES! THANK YOU!!!

I feel like the axis of the carbon fiber was the main fault. I guess you just said that

It just shocks me to see how they attached the rings in a non clean room

I cannot wait for the NTSB report. Odd things happen at very high pressure differentials; for example, if the viewport blew then the vessel could have exploded from the mother of all water hammers, with the heat of compression and possible steam generation adding to the mix.

“… It’s 667 layers of carbon fiber…” says rush. 667? That’s one more than 666. Is it not?

Can I tap Aspen trees here in Colorado?

I would highly recommend a fuzzy cover for your microphone to cut the wind rumble. It would make your voice much easier to understand.

The hubris that Rush exhibited is jaw dropping.

Finally, a direct explanation. Awesome and thank you.

Considering the abysmal standards of design/assembly, all of these materials actually outperformed their specification range.

Just found Stinkhorn eggs digging around the soil surrounding my greenhouse in Colorado. I have to say, I was extremely grossed out by the eggs and glad I got rid of them before they popped up! Thank you for the video!

Love this vid!

They’re not even in a clean room!

I have bad news for everyone watching this video. Everyone that last dove in this sub is now dead.

So many warnings. They even cautioned t o obtain an ultrasound at least before this dive. But he wanted to hold out until the expiration time. So tragic. I have to say it is a blessing that they never felt any pain. With the alarms showing red I am sure there was apprehension.

Thank you for informing us about the trees

Thank you so much! Cool history lessons about our ancients : ) Much appreciated. I Cannot wait to try this method and boil it down a bit, possibly making a juniper, Scot's pine and birch gin. You dived in on all of the amino acids and phytochemical constituents as well which was mu favorite part, great work!

Great video as usual. Maybe we meet one day in the woods.

Thank Jamie for sharing some of your knollage here with the wider world. I found you looking for knolage about birch water and found myself working through most of your videos. I happen to have some birch polypore that i dryed last yr, which is now boiling in a pot on my stove as im having digestive trouble and a stinking cold. I also have more of it thats been steeping in alcahol for several months now so ill mix some in with the tea for a full spectrum of yummys. Im looking forward to how my body reacts. Thanks again for being apart of keeping a collective knollage of the magical gift from the natural world alive xR

We just used a piece of pipe and we were getting more sap then we could handle

L boso if you use anything more then 70% alc it evaporates before it kills anything especially the things you don’t want

That whole construction process was a shit show ,…more like a school project to dive down the shallow local pond.

Thank you for sharing you knowledge with us. It was a great presentation and visual 👍

The one thing I needed to see was up close to identify the pine tree. Crucial part missed.

Another wicked video dude! loving this content right now

I've just come across your videos and they are truly inspiring. Very entertaining and informative content, keep it up my dude!

It's now 9 months later and I still find myself digging for more quality Titan content. I have no relation to the sea, diving or engineering and have zero understanding of why I'm STILL fascinated with every angle of this event. Really good content btw! A+

Awesome! 👏 So much tool envy 😭😂

BEAUTIFUL!!

All I hear is some faceless know-it-all applying his degree in theoretical hindsight to the real world.

Are there any Tylopilus felleus in your forests? If yes, please tell about them! They must have greyish-pink 'sponge' and VERY bitter taste!

Thank You The peace your video brought was unexplainable. 🙏🏻

Given his attitude, if a more robust design (e.g. a range of orientations) had been used, he simply would have done more dives until it eventually failed. The only thing that changes in this hypothetical is the identities of the people who died.
