How To Fake An Ocean

  • How do you train sailors to operate in some of Australia's most treacherous waters without accidentally sinking million-dollar vessels? You build them a world-class simulator of course.
    In this video we go behind the scenes at the Australian Maritime College to take a look at how engineers literally build their own oceans to get the data needed to make it work. From the real ships to the small-scale model test basin (literally an indoor ocean) and towing tank this is some amazing Australian Engineering.
    Huge thanks to the team at AMC and the University of Tasmania: www.amc.edu.au/

    Best thing about this episode was seeing how crazy we could make the wave conditions. Apparently “most of boat is out the water” isn’t something that normally constitutes good research.

      wait, you can break the computer by over-stressing it in a simulation, then I realized, we are probably talking about massive supercomputers basically already running overclock with thousands of CPUs optimized to give absolute computing power over anything else, push it a little harder and CPUs literally burn out from the heat alone, not like the normal desktop/servers we use for computing that are designed to withstand 100% abuse for eight years straight (servers are literally under-clocked to save power and last more).

    • @danielhale1
      @danielhale1 2 роки тому +21

      When Y is up that means you assume some arbitrary wall is Y, which doesn't really make sense for most 3D environments. I much prefer x and y defining the floor, which is the 2D plane the player moves across the most (z movement is by far the least common, unless you're in a space game where there truly is no such reference plane). The only time Y being up is attractive is when you're coming from 2D games and wanting that to translate somehow into a 3D world, and IMO that's a bad habit.
      Perhaps I'm just be rationalizing something equally as arbitrary... but Z being up is the most logical, you can write that on my tombstone. Better yet, make the tombstone an arrow labeled Z, pointing up to the heavens as god intended. :P

    On the one hand, its crazy how much we can simulate in computers now.

    Although that being said, fluid dynamics has to be one of the more complicated things you could pick to try and simulate (as well as one of the more important ones). I'm really excited for how crazy we could make these sorts of things in a few decades.

      @@AtomicFrontier Most simulators that had a moving bridge are locked out now. Syncing the physical movement and the screen presentation were really critical and caused more motion sickness issues than the fixed floor and moving screen. The trick is to look at something stationary, like the radar screen or chart plotter, if you feel sick. This is totally contrary to what you do on a normal vessel.

Weight/power/rudder surface-ratio was totally shit, so in 7-8 Beaufort there was no way I could steer it in a straight Line. Got 80% of my classmates seasick. For me the trick is to have a big warm meal ASAP, hard to get it down that moment, but makes my sickness go away for the rest of the trip.

(if you are filming at 25fps for example, if the LED panel is outputting at 50hz, set the shutter speed to 180 degrees)
