    I absolutely love learning about engineering - it's a passion of mine! As an engineer myself, I have found engineering to be an incredibly rewarding experience, and it's always so satisfying to see a project come together. I love engineering because it allows us to make things that help improve quality of life in a wide variety of ways. From building bridges to developing medical technology, engineers are helping to make the world a better place! I am grateful for the opportunities engineering has provided me, and am constantly inspired by the innovation within the field.

      I hate it, bro if your a constructual engineer. NOBODY even looks at you, it's like. If your not doing mechanical or IT type engineering, then your a fucking loser.

      A water cooling system for the 20mm barrels. At the rate of speed this gun fires it needs water cooling for its 6 barrels

    2:57 20x20mm What does that mean

    • @trakar3501
      @trakar3501 8 місяців тому

      It means it's a 20mm caliber projectile that's fired from a 20mm long cartridge casing. The video seems to be a bit off though, as the actual caliber for a Vulcan cannon is 20x102mm, not 20x20mm.

    I'm curious to know how many ciws systems are put on a nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Like would 8 be too many or would it be not enough?

    • @ablewindsor1459
      @ablewindsor1459 Рік тому +1

      From Google Turd Answers :
      How many CIWS does a Nimitz have?
      These consist of either two or three RIM-7 Sea Sparrow or RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missile Mk 29 missile launchers designed for defense against aircraft and anti-ship missiles, as well as either three or four 20 mm Phalanx CIWS.

      How's it going to do against a swarm of 300 suicide drones each firing 4 missiles? The military usually has redundancies and I only see 1 or 2 on a ship. What if it's down for maintenance, jams up, is hit, over heats, etc.? Heck, they can approach the ship from every single direction or the opposite side where the gun is or just the front and the back.

      I saw a video game simulation and it's not good enough against a real attack. If I were them, I would create a new cheap gun boat like the F-15EX that loaded with multiple CIWSs and missiles for defense. So cheap, they could leave them off the coast of Islands like Taiwan or any remote island areas that need extra defense.

      ​​​@@dtsaiUS aircraft carriers doesn't travel alone and it is the job of the Strike group to protect the Carrier. I dont know if there is a country brave enough to attack it unless they want a can of whoop ass in return.:
