So great to see you back : I hope these make you money because they are an amazing resource for us scientifically inclined curious types.... Naval or otherwise.... Hope you and yours are well. Thanks again.
I love these videos. I'm only a yachtie but all these talks really expand my grasp on the concerns that affect all the big traffic I'm trying to dodge. Whole other world.
Another great video. So much knowledge. Thank you for your uploads. One question, though, wouldn't it be wiser to perform the stability test in less than "good weather"? Seeing as ships often sail in AWFUL weather, that is.
Not in this case. Sadly, the name "stability test" doesn't really clarify the goal of the experiment. We are not directly measuring the stability. As you pointed out, a true test of stability faces the ship against bad weather. Instead, think of the stability test as a measurement of vessel characteristics. In this case, we measure the weight and center of gravity. With that information, we can run computer simulations to determine the ship stability. The ship still gets tested against bad weather, but only on the computer. And the stability test gives us the information we need to ensure those computer simulations are accurate.
Sir I want to study hydrostatic and stability thoroughly.please provide some guidelines or upload the video . actually sir I am from India and pursuing my b.tech in naval architecture branch.
I can recommend a few books to read: 1.) "Principles of Naval Architecture" by Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. Vol 1. Stability and Strength. www.amazon.com/Principles-Naval-Architecture-Vol-Stability/dp/0939773007/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1PXIOVHWPHBQD&keywords=principles+of+naval+architecture+ship+stability&qid=1643638689&sprefix=principals+of+naval+architecture+ship+stability%2Caps%2C66&sr=8-1 This series is a little boring in the writing, but very thorough. I have it on my shelf and still use it for reference. Just remember to get volume 1. This is part of a whole series of books that provide a very thorough introduction to all subjects of naval architecture. Vol 1. includes stability. 2.) If you want a book that is a little less boring. (I don't blame you.) I recommend "Basic Ship Theory" by K.J. Rawson and E.C. Tupper.
My oh my I'm going to build a ship what should I build it out of wood fiberglass aluminum Steel what is the best choice for me knowing me I am the smartest sailor and the world oops look I am sitting on a reef oh crap and those words of mayday mayday mayday or pan pan pan

I completely love your videos, you are amazing explaining everything.

@@DatawaveMarineSolutions Thank you so much for your reply.
Wind would have to be a very difficult problem during testing, even in good weather due to the sheer size of these vessels.
Great work, thank you!
I second the Motion!
