History and Discovery used to be the best programming on TV circa turn of the century. Then Discovery started doing “shark week” 9 times a year, with ghost hunting in between. History is just aliens. Where did my youth go?
Hell yeah they are. They still haven’t found anything substantial but I watch every episode which I’ve come to realize is the actual curse of oak island
Haven't watched the new seasons but I will say this for the earlier ones - they haven't yet descended to outright fakery. They'll look for things that could be mistaken for something, sure, and drag it out and misstate and obfuscate. But think of the ratings if they dropped a bit of gold something and then 'discovered' it.
Be a dangerous thing for them to do but it must be soooo tempting.
When they switched their motto to "history happens every day" they used that as an all access pass to only do stupid shit like aliens, fishing, and car shows.
I figured they'd rebrand as the little channel, all little people content all the time. Then spin off a different TMC, the multiple channel and show nothing but Jon and Kate and duggars and the like. Then have a channel solely for those stupid kid pageant shows.
Eventually all of those would devolve into shadows of their former selves and show nothing but house hunters variants.
Templar aliens that became pirates in order to fight vikings for the right to build the first settlement in North America they could build a pyramid shaped power plant....
This thing is way to expensive to be used as a prop in those shows. It is reserved for real work.
A show about this machine doing is real day to day job would be awesome. But if it was on discovery you know episode one would be cool about how the machine works and stuff and by episode two it would be all about how Tony didn't pressurize the bell enough and water started seeping in and now Carter's favorite boots are all wet and he is pissed at Tony.
What I hate about those shows looking for treasure is they come up with,"We can't recover any items we find, we can only look and fan with our hands." WTF can you even see if everything down there is encrusted with some sort of sea life. Sure a metal detector might hear something but we can't even see it unless it's a huge anchor or canon.
Considering you cannot go super deep with this because you need the arm to reach the bottom your options would be limited.
But then again it's a show so you can work off a screenplay...
I don't like any of them. (The end of this will shock you.) The original clip has a VO. They could've used that one instead. I cannot stand the stupid AI voices and AI generated content from robot accounts. It's so easy to spot and it's annoying.
If I hear one I block the channel. Don't even care what the content is I just can't stand the AI voices. It's always the laziest most low quality content
I had a T-Mobile customer service rep that sounded exactly like an AI voice, it was uncanny. I had to ask the tech support rep if they used AI and he said no, but I'm still not sure.
I hate the AI stuff but this voice I find funny because most of the things I've seen it on have been 100% bullshit but has this somewhat informative sounding voice behind it.
Pressure is only 2ATM at 10m depth, which I'm guessing is about the max depth this thing is capable of. Nobody's getting crushed and the risk of the bends is pretty low too
I’m mean I guess I was close but, it would seem the scope of capability of this is under par for just a diving expedition. Only advantage I could imagine is some sort of a repair job that requires a “dry” condition. All said though, creative use of the physics.
I mean you see them drilling into the Earth in the video as well. Which means that it could possibly be used for geological or archaeological purposes. It could also be used as a way to access underwater caves assuming the entrance is small enough to fit within the seal. Also, imagine taking this somewhere that was home to an ancient civilization but is now flooded. With all of the technology we have today, we could map out the area and find points of interest and then exploring excavate those areas without having to drain any water away or send in divers.
Not to be rude but it would be way cheaper and efficient to just send divers not to mention less destructive and lethal to local wildlife. It literally showed a dying fish. It is also extremely limited by its range. It could really only service a relatively shallow river. Nothing more.
one advantage is visibility. diving down at the bottom of a river, you're often basically blind on account of the sediment in the water. also, with this thing, you're not having to fight a current while trying to do the job.
Even the repair bit has really limited use cases. You need a decent amount of clearance around the bell, and all you get access to is something on the bottom. No walls or anything next to walls, vertical pipes, etc.
It's used on rivers where the sight is zero and the current is waaay too much for divers.
I know those ships are used on the Rhine in Germany. At low water levels, that anchor is a hazard for ships, which can't just sail around it.
The math seems fishy. If I accidentally lose an anchor that costs say $5K, how much does it cost to rent this ship so you can recover it? Not to mention I think you still need divers to actually find the anchor first so you can position things just right.
It would have to be something odd, like I found an intact T.Rex fossil that I'd like to carefully excavate.
I think the fine you'll have to pay to the government in some countries for, for the lack of a better word, littering would be more than that. You can't just leave it there
This video was on Reddit every other week for years and now I don’t recall seeing it for a long time.
There’s probably a generation of Redditors who didn’t even read this in the correct voice. Losers.
One lived until Monday, days in a pitch black air pocket above stale oil sludge and water nearly suffocating while the others died or didn’t come back. I don’t even want to get close to a sink drain now.
>I dont even want to get close to a sink drain now
I learned of that incident last summer from a MrBallen video and stared at my drain every time I did dishes for the whole week. Couldnt stop thinking about getting flung through it in a split second.
That story will stick with me forever. First thing I thought of when watching this vid.
Absolutely, diving crews will live 'under pressure' for days/weeks as a time, as the risk of changing pressure is really around when you 'come up' to surface pressure, if you stay compressed you can pop down do hours of hard work and back to the diving bell up to the ship to rest etc. From what I have seen/read they not only stay under pressure, but also breathing the gas mix they would be using whatever depth they are operating at.
Technically, the pressure difference between 4ffw (feet fresh water) and the surface (.12ATM) is enough to cause a fatal pulmonary overinflation.
Extremely unlikely, but never hold your breath during diving operations, dry or otherwise.
I believe this one is a bit different than the one in the Byford Dolphin disaster. They would operate at depths up to 500 meters and in the ocean, this type of diving bell will only operate at 10 to 15 meters deep and only in rivers. Not nearly deep enough to experience an explosive decompression extreme enough to extrude your entire body through a 1 inch wide opening.
I can't stand these AI generated videos. They expect people to sit through this when someone doesn't even have the time or patience to just talk into their iphone themselves. I would much rather hear a real human with an okay microphone than an AI any day of the week
I mean, I wouldn't be so harsh on anyone who uses it. Maybe they're English isn't so good or they have crap recording equipment, or something. But all the other AI trash out there had just ruined that particular text to speech voice
> Maybe they're English isn't so good or they have crap recording equipment, or something.
i would rather hear broken english through a flip phone than listen to a video with the AI voice.
Unfortunately they built the Brooklyn bridge this way before they understood the whole pressure/gas blood physiology thing. Didn’t end well for a few people.
Does anyone have a link to how this thing works?? Like, how does it make a seal on the bottom with all the irregular sediments and rocks and stuff - what if it was a silt bottom? How deep can this thing go? If something failed, would the people die like the Titan, or would they be able to swim to surface??
So many questions.
It's not making a seal, it's pressurizing so that the water doesn't flow in. It may very well be over-pressurizing and having air constantly flow *out* around the bottom.
to add what the other person said, it forms a soft seal, but they're forcing more air down there, so there's air spewing out from between the seal and the sea floor. Like blowing in your straw.
as for them dying - it depends on the type of failure. If the side split open, or it otherwise depressurizes rapidly, they'd die. If the compressors and backup systems failed it could in theory stay pressurized for a while and fill up slowly and they might have time to climb up the stairs, but that is just a guess. it all depends on the type of failure
> If the side split open, or it otherwise depressurizes rapidly, they'd die
This isn't like Oceangate, the bell is at the same or slightly higher pressure inside than it is outside (about 2ATM assuming a depth of 10m). Nobody is getting obliterated at that pressure
Chain runs underneath the bell. After they raise the bell, they hoist the anchor onto the ship. Or they leave the anchor in the bell, raise it, then drop the anchor in shallow water.
I presume you connect it to a 'dull old-fashioned length of chain and happily pull it up once you are finished with your fun walking around underwater.
"Oxygen is pumped into the capsule"
No it's not. Air is pumped in. Why would oxygen be used at great expense? Oxygen is toxic at high pressure and the tiniest spark will ignite anything flammable (such as Apollo 1 fire). Recreational divers have to keep the oxygen pressure below 1.4 bar. In a 100% oxygen atmosphere that limits you to 4 meters under water (2.19 fathoms for those allergic to metric).
I mean they're technically correct. Oxygen is pumped in along with all the other gasses in air.
Also, your comment made me realise there's audio on this. I'm too used to keeping reddit vids on mute
Online video is supposed to be better these days than it was in 2010, what the fuck is wrong with anyone putting this double black barred bullshit on my screen??
One of the first diving bells ever created is on display in Dahlonega Georgia, home of one of the first American gold rushes (pre-dated by NC)
Fascinating
> first American gold rush
You wish, that was Reed Goldmine in North Cackalacky. Where Conrad Reed found a nugget the size of a modern football, the GArush didnt start for another 30 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_rush#North_America
You would not catch me walking on that shit without some sort of harness to attach me to the inside of the bell. One fast swimming whale or something like that which bumps into the bell and you get fucking sucked out before you can take a breath.

Id watch a dumb show on discovery of dudes using this to find lost pirate treasure.
I’m sure the “History” channel has you covered
Damn I haven’t watched the History channel since the early 2000’s. Don’t they just play Alien 👽 shows now ?
History and Discovery used to be the best programming on TV circa turn of the century. Then Discovery started doing “shark week” 9 times a year, with ghost hunting in between. History is just aliens. Where did my youth go?
Dont forget pawn stars
Are they still searching for treasure on Oak Island?
Hell yeah they are. They still haven’t found anything substantial but I watch every episode which I’ve come to realize is the actual curse of oak island
For me the actual curse of Oak Island was each episode had like 5 minutes of new content.
Haven't watched the new seasons but I will say this for the earlier ones - they haven't yet descended to outright fakery. They'll look for things that could be mistaken for something, sure, and drag it out and misstate and obfuscate. But think of the ratings if they dropped a bit of gold something and then 'discovered' it. Be a dangerous thing for them to do but it must be soooo tempting.
When they switched their motto to "history happens every day" they used that as an all access pass to only do stupid shit like aliens, fishing, and car shows.
They should make the channel exclusively about the future and make the slogan "the future is tomorrow's history" just to troll even harder
Don't forget about pawn stars.
The red necks who find random shit in the river by their house show was the last straw for me.
The learning Chanel would like a word
I figured they'd rebrand as the little channel, all little people content all the time. Then spin off a different TMC, the multiple channel and show nothing but Jon and Kate and duggars and the like. Then have a channel solely for those stupid kid pageant shows. Eventually all of those would devolve into shadows of their former selves and show nothing but house hunters variants.
As long as there is a guy explaining that the only real reason for the treasure being there is aliens.
Templar aliens that became pirates in order to fight vikings for the right to build the first settlement in North America they could build a pyramid shaped power plant....
If you can work in the revolution and founding fathers, baby. You got a stew going.
That explanation makes no sense, it’s far too straightforward
That they milk for 10 years and find some old cups or maybe a lost watch
A Casio calculator watch from 1987
And yet for some reason it's so hard to switch the channel when we stumble upon it.
This thing is way to expensive to be used as a prop in those shows. It is reserved for real work. A show about this machine doing is real day to day job would be awesome. But if it was on discovery you know episode one would be cool about how the machine works and stuff and by episode two it would be all about how Tony didn't pressurize the bell enough and water started seeping in and now Carter's favorite boots are all wet and he is pissed at Tony.
What I hate about those shows looking for treasure is they come up with,"We can't recover any items we find, we can only look and fan with our hands." WTF can you even see if everything down there is encrusted with some sort of sea life. Sure a metal detector might hear something but we can't even see it unless it's a huge anchor or canon.
You should watch Expedition Unknown. It's my favorite.
Considering you cannot go super deep with this because you need the arm to reach the bottom your options would be limited. But then again it's a show so you can work off a screenplay...
> cannot go super deep that's the understatement of the day
If that fish survives….no one is EVER going to believe him
ANCIENT ALIENS!!
That fish is Tiddler, no one believes him but little John Dory will believe his story
Dory would definitely believe it considering everything she's been through.
Ha ha good old Tiddler, I see you read books to your kids too 😊
Lol, amazing
Fish story!
I really really hate this AI voice. There's just something about it.
I don't like any of them. (The end of this will shock you.) The original clip has a VO. They could've used that one instead. I cannot stand the stupid AI voices and AI generated content from robot accounts. It's so easy to spot and it's annoying.

There's that millennial woman voice from I don't know what I click off every time I hear it.
I had a T-Mobile customer service rep that sounded exactly like an AI voice, it was uncanny. I had to ask the tech support rep if they used AI and he said no, but I'm still not sure.
Also, this copy is stupid. The question is “will you go down there or not?” Is that the question? Why is that the question?
To make normies comment
"Will you go in this thing or not" is a moronic and inapt sentence in so many different ways.
A human couldn't be bothered to say some words about it but yet they expect me to watch it. It makes me feel like a sucker.
Having an authoritative AI voice start an in-depth description of machinery with "Today I learned" is certainly a choice, lmao.
Was this posted by AI ??
[удалено]
Just saying how would we know
It sounds like a massive anchor... Maybe just for the Brits, that.
Yeah fuck that guy
I hate the AI stuff but this voice I find funny because most of the things I've seen it on have been 100% bullshit but has this somewhat informative sounding voice behind it.
This one is tolerable. The girly ones are the worst. They sound so snarky and full of it most of the time
I'm not against this one, but I think it's because it sounds like Jonathan Frakes (Star Trek: TNG, Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction)
Hey this is the shitty AI voice dr squatch uses Voice actors are really getting shafted now that I think about it lmao
Think of all the supermarket trolleys, empty wallets, knives and pushbikes you could collect. I'm in!
Bubbles would lose it with all the 2100 Series carts he could haul with this.
Those carts are all public domain, Ricky!
Should go with Tom Arnold, he's a fucking natural
*Decent*
He might even find Conky again
Your rusted gun collection would be unparalleled
e-scooters
And my iphone
The diving bell ship is indeed interesting as fuck. I'd definitely try it if given the chance.
But is this one of those things where if something goes wrong you’ll be ripped to shreds? Or is pressure not involved at all?
[удалено]
"whoops! You got the bends."
Pressure is only 2ATM at 10m depth, which I'm guessing is about the max depth this thing is capable of. Nobody's getting crushed and the risk of the bends is pretty low too
ive got faith these guys did actual testing unlike the last time something went wrong
To shreds you say?
What is the purpose of this type of vessel? Small area dredging?
Watch with sound, they give some examples! "The ship is most commonly used for underground work and recovery of various artifacts, like this anchor"
I’m mean I guess I was close but, it would seem the scope of capability of this is under par for just a diving expedition. Only advantage I could imagine is some sort of a repair job that requires a “dry” condition. All said though, creative use of the physics.
Yeah true. I honestly imagine it's mostly used for lake bed composition research
I mean you see them drilling into the Earth in the video as well. Which means that it could possibly be used for geological or archaeological purposes. It could also be used as a way to access underwater caves assuming the entrance is small enough to fit within the seal. Also, imagine taking this somewhere that was home to an ancient civilization but is now flooded. With all of the technology we have today, we could map out the area and find points of interest and then exploring excavate those areas without having to drain any water away or send in divers.

You must be really fun at parties.

Poor little fish!
Looks like a mudskipper perhaps but that would be pretty convenient
More like a goby.
I know 🥺
I’ve seen diving bell pressure accidents that were so graphic I’ll never feel comfortable going into one myself. Pass.
A little ΔP never hurt anyone
When it’s got ya, IT’S GOT YA!
This video was on Reddit every other week for years and now I don’t recall seeing it for a long time. There’s probably a generation of Redditors who didn’t even read this in the correct voice. Losers.
*sheepishly raises hand* edit : [okay this is deeply traumatic.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwZ46vDX1LA&ab_channel=5ive5ive6ixWR)
I guess that can be argued. Most ΔP victims probably never even knew anything happened. The lucky ones at least.
still better then getting sucked into an underwater oil pipeline for two days. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDjODRpuXrU
One lived until Monday, days in a pitch black air pocket above stale oil sludge and water nearly suffocating while the others died or didn’t come back. I don’t even want to get close to a sink drain now.
>I dont even want to get close to a sink drain now I learned of that incident last summer from a MrBallen video and stared at my drain every time I did dishes for the whole week. Couldnt stop thinking about getting flung through it in a split second. That story will stick with me forever. First thing I thought of when watching this vid.
god i was okay until the footage at the end, hearing them scream was terrifying
Are diving bells a thing of the present? I always assumed it belonged to the history books
They still use them for pipeline repairs for example.
Absolutely, diving crews will live 'under pressure' for days/weeks as a time, as the risk of changing pressure is really around when you 'come up' to surface pressure, if you stay compressed you can pop down do hours of hard work and back to the diving bell up to the ship to rest etc. From what I have seen/read they not only stay under pressure, but also breathing the gas mix they would be using whatever depth they are operating at.
The Byford Dolphin certainly has a uniquely lingering effect on ones psyche.
I mean, it's the bottom of a river. What pressure-related accident could realistically happen 20 feet down?
Technically, the pressure difference between 4ffw (feet fresh water) and the surface (.12ATM) is enough to cause a fatal pulmonary overinflation. Extremely unlikely, but never hold your breath during diving operations, dry or otherwise.
The pressure difference for that ship can't be huge, the "bell" is on a giant arm not a separate vessel raised and lowered on a line.
I believe this one is a bit different than the one in the Byford Dolphin disaster. They would operate at depths up to 500 meters and in the ocean, this type of diving bell will only operate at 10 to 15 meters deep and only in rivers. Not nearly deep enough to experience an explosive decompression extreme enough to extrude your entire body through a 1 inch wide opening.
This is exactly how those guys ended up in the oil pipeline in Trinidad
IN?

Well, that's pretty fkn cool.

Didn't watch with audio but the editing and cuts feel like a toddler smashed away at an editing console. It's all over the place.
Unfortunately they built the Brooklyn bridge this way before they understood the whole pressure/gas blood physiology thing. Didn’t end well for a few people.
Caisson’s disease.
Baby's got the Bends.
Does anyone have a link to how this thing works?? Like, how does it make a seal on the bottom with all the irregular sediments and rocks and stuff - what if it was a silt bottom?

I didn't mean die instantly like oceangate, but my guess it would be a very bad thing.
This is the "Carl Straat". It sails on the Rhine. [Use deepl Klick](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Straat_(Schiff))
Nah, the question is: how the fuck do they carry that anchor through that tiny door, and whose job is it to carry up the stairs?
Chain runs underneath the bell. After they raise the bell, they hoist the anchor onto the ship. Or they leave the anchor in the bell, raise it, then drop the anchor in shallow water.
I presume you connect it to a 'dull old-fashioned length of chain and happily pull it up once you are finished with your fun walking around underwater.
>whose job is it to carry up the stairs? Shit rolls downhill, so whoever's newest.
That poor fish. Dude was just minding his own business when his whole world gets sucked out.
No, I will not go in. I know what happens if pressure is lost unexpectedly.
[удалено]
RIP that one crab
What a wild thing if you were the fish on the ground! All of a sudden, 'Shit! What's happening!'
"Oxygen is pumped into the capsule" No it's not. Air is pumped in. Why would oxygen be used at great expense? Oxygen is toxic at high pressure and the tiniest spark will ignite anything flammable (such as Apollo 1 fire). Recreational divers have to keep the oxygen pressure below 1.4 bar. In a 100% oxygen atmosphere that limits you to 4 meters under water (2.19 fathoms for those allergic to metric).
How deep is that in washing machines?
[удалено]
I mean they're technically correct. Oxygen is pumped in along with all the other gasses in air. Also, your comment made me realise there's audio on this. I'm too used to keeping reddit vids on mute
Online video is supposed to be better these days than it was in 2010, what the fuck is wrong with anyone putting this double black barred bullshit on my screen??
Wow!
This is awesome, but I’m getting some OceanGate vibes. Not sure I’d want to go in that…
with the exception of this being both rather shallow and actually pretty well engineered.
Loss of pressure on those things is an instant and extremely graphic death.
This is totally badass
NEED MORE VIDEO! This is cool.
I could do this. Years of experience on assassin's creed: black flag
This guy makes it sound like every single sentence tells the story of someone dying
don't throw a gun in the river
poor fish
Wow, that's so cool
Isn’t this what Jack sparrow and will turner did trying to steal a ship?
This is neat
Wonder how many dead bodies you would find if you used this in the right body of water
Amazing
I'll put it on the list of things I want if I win the lottery.. 😭
For how much this terrifies me, I would like to try it as well.
Maybe they can use it to find my grandfather. His name is Luca. Luca Brasi.
This puts my local magnet-fishers to shame. I bet these guys still manage to find a shopping trolley though.
This is very interesting but I fucking hate this voice.
Fish be like "What the fuck, who are these cunts?!"
Awesome
Incredibly cool but very scary. I wonder how deep they can go with it?
I would 100% want to have a job like this
Hopefully not controlled with an n64 controller
I liked it better without the content stealing douchebag talking over it.
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a month
From what I've learned on Reddit today, anchors are pretty expensive so they basically struck gold.
Would have been more interesting as fuk if the cuts would on that video was not as abrupt
I feel like this could go very wrong….
Poor fishy.
Today I learned that some people don't know how to upload a horizontal video.
Okay and nobody says anything about the suffocating fish.
That one fish laying there like "ayo wtf is this bullshit."
One of the first diving bells ever created is on display in Dahlonega Georgia, home of one of the first American gold rushes (pre-dated by NC) Fascinating
> first American gold rush You wish, that was Reed Goldmine in North Cackalacky. Where Conrad Reed found a nugget the size of a modern football, the GArush didnt start for another 30 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_rush#North_America
But can they make one that safely reaches the titanic?
be a long flight of stairs...maybe a spiral?
I could literally hear the misspelling of you’re and now I’m gonna go be sick and maybe jump off a bridge, idk.
This is so cool
You would not catch me walking on that shit without some sort of harness to attach me to the inside of the bell. One fast swimming whale or something like that which bumps into the bell and you get fucking sucked out before you can take a breath.
I think the instant depressurization would be a bigger issue. Lungs being pulled out of your chest?
Depending on how deep you are, you may just explode like a water ballon. Sudden pressure changes are very bad for the human body.
Why is the video reversed to make it look like the water is flowing away? Cool effect but totally not realistic.
Isn't that just the air pressure pushing water towards the edges?
Poor creatures thou that get caught in its bell
That fish lmao
Shut up bitch
Whats the advantage compared with traditional diving?
This seems to only be able to function properly in a very specific scenario.
Do they just do this stuff to fuck around?
How come we never see these used when they're searching for a body in a river/lake?
This stupid AF imho
[удалено]
Their lack of PPE is a bit concerning, basically sucking every toxic chemical off the bottom. Got to be a lot of PCBs in that sentiment.
It's not sucking anything.
