What if we could harness the ocean's movement to protect coastal communities from rising sea levels? Designer and TED Fellow Skylar Tibbits shows how his lab is creating a dynamic, adaptable system of underwater structures that uses energy from ocean waves to accumulate sand and restore eroding shorelines -- working with the forces of nature to build rather than destroy.

*Not gonna lie. This is interesting af and a step for climate engineering*
Yes
Man trying to play god again. Kinda cool. Kinda fucked up. I like.
Any reason, you would lie? Lol
Claire W lie bout what
Brendan McPike *I know but somehow if we achieve a better Environmental sustainability, it could lead to solve modern problems and in this case prevent and manage waste disposal, ozone layer depletion, water pollution, climate change, etc. And also we are going to Mars in the future that's a fact.*
loved it! Simple, ingenious, passive, self sustaining, movable and can be forgotten into the enviroment, and it will become part of it.
Beautiful. Great video. I love when science & simplicity work together to solve problems.
wow this is a brilliant talk. haven't seen one this good in a while. welcome back ted
I hope I can give a ted talk on marine biology one day..
All things Marine I’m sure you will if you really want to
Alec Scarcliff thank you
Anyone can. You just have to show up and have something interesting to talk about prepared.
@@SumNutOnU2bI think for an official one you have to be approached. For unofficial TEDx however you just need to collaborate and schedule and get approval on your roster and quality of presentations, there are things that TED won't endorse that can be considered radical, extremist, misleading or conspiratorial.
Go for it! That would be awesome :)
In the year 4055, oceanic divers discovered the ancient remnants of submerged structures filled with canvas and sand. We believe our ancestors were trying to have a "Fyre Festival" underwater.
What a handsome, sweet little boy... and he gets to play in sand and ocean... and get paid (by us) to do it and talk about his religion, Global Warming. And if you live in Fear he reassures; don't be Afraid because he's here to Save Us All. Just believe (and fund his Church of Science). Remember, even the children of Jonestown drank the Kool Ade. Is there any hope he'll grow to be a Man and put away childish things?
Finally a Ted Talk that is easy for even the most ignorant of us concerning environmental issues to understand. *looks at Boomers*
this is truly amazing, the potential uses are vast
Why am I here at midnight 😂
A R G Productions you actually are first congrats
Thanks man
Why am I here at 2.40 am..
😂
This is just a dream. Go back to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep
Doing this in the Netherlands for years...
Such methods have been used for a long time to fight erosion by building sand along rivers. They stick logs and such to direct the water in a way that deposits the suspended sediment.
What makes it drastically different and unsure of results is that rivers, by and large, are fairly standard in flow. Meaning that they go in a specific direction at a specific speeds with specific types of sediment being transferred. Ocean flows change. Storms disrupt things. Temperatures play with the ecosystem. Humans destroying the reefs (which are natural protectors)
It's interesting and good to see that they are adapting such techniques, but it will be interesting to see how well it performs.
the same logs in the sand are used on beaches to prevent the sand deposits moving with the tide along the beach to elsewhere before being lost in the ocean currents. mostly by places that use the beach as revenue for tourism and where currents are particularly destructive to beachfronts. the difference with this take however is making transportable structures to alter how nature interacts such that instead of eroding, nature instead builds it up. Is the logical next step to the existing method
🤓
Too bad the sea levels are going to rise and erode further and faster than you can build.
me going to interview..
interviewer: what are your hobbies, and how will u save the earth?
me: I make islands....
Awesome! You guys should definitely visit the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands. They have highly advanced basins to simulate all kinds of wave and current patterns found in nature. And if you get the chance definitely also visit the large sand engine as it's called right off the Netherlands coastline which over the years slowly deposits sand on the coastline. You'd probably like what you'd find there.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_engine
The Netherlands has built its necessary and vast fixed water defense system in the past few decades and has been transitioning to a more dynamic approach for quite a while now. The battle with water is becoming a matter of give and take.
WOOODOGGY BY GOLLY this is so good to see in my life time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👀wooodogy
should have a look at the mayhem of the laguna of Venice. They have a lot of data concerning evolution of the depth and structures of the bottom of the laguna
So basically a Sand Engine as has existed for years in The Netherlands already. The only difference is that this solution will always have these foreign objects in the sea, whilst the Sand Engine is made of sand and sand alone. Now he said the material is biodegradable, but wouldn't that mean they would still need regular replacement to keep the solution functional?
That's amazing speech
That’s an innovative and affordable design to deal with the influence of climate change. I love the idea of working with the force of nature instead of fighting against it.
Physics at its best
I'm wondering if this can influence oceanic temperature
Debbie Thornton Are you joking? How would dropping a bag of sand in the ocean change the temperature?
Bearly Listening he’s just wondering bro. calm down
1) where is this guy's email, and 2) thinking on a broader scale...if a community were to decide to implement this in, say, northern Alaska (where rising sea levels and erosion are of major concern to permafrost), it would have to be with larger amounts of sandbags (or other objects). How does this resonate within an ecosystem? Isn't that really intrusive and kind of destructive? Isn't that just humans playing god again? Important questions to consider going forward...again, where is this guy's email...
I think so about it do everything นาenmybad to busy every product นาenforme be leader it sit access from bad it cross new computer andit share Wi-Fi my number is this my wife
When r u gonna work on a car that runs on H2o 😀👊
zeek1dr Stanley Meyer perfected that many decades ago, but Ted would rather waste your time with Mr. Sand Man.
Bearly Listening Wasn’t Meyer’s machine discovered to be a fraud though? That his invention was never verified?
Also, why are (and don’t go all tin foil on me) all the people who claimed to create a working hydrogen-powered vehicle were convicted of fraud and never fully revealed their technology? Not only that, many are also reluctant to disclose how their machines really work. We want proof, of course.
@@alexanderchristopher6237 because they are frauds, unfortunately. In my country, a guy that invents a water fuelled car comes out every damn year. it's always a fraudster.
And before anyone goes conspiratorial over here, nobody fucking stopped Elon from making electric cars. or other car producers. if anyone thinks there's a special bureau to stop specifically water cars but allow other fossil fuel alternatives is a dumbass.
Nice
what that do the the turtles? sea walls are not near beaches and do not hurt them but this thing might trap turtle babies. This is why sea walles are built near the coast between land and sand.
Its a good and interesting idea but correct me if I'm wrong, would it be the same efect to the cost if natural coral reef is there. Maybe a solution to preserve and mantain them could be integrated to this idea.
A house built upon a foundation of sand is NOT a house for very long and neither is an island. The ocean giveth and the ocean taketh.
A new way to take London real ted talk down
Wow was that just a TED talk not just some sociologists diary entry?
Just what we need. More land for the rich to get richer and destroy.
I would be more impressed if I'd seen some actual results. What about some shots after day 3?
Thats how Portugal is planning to double its size?
Deserved WAY more than 7minutes.
A simple and interesting talk loved it.
First🙌🏻
do it clear now me not flow by account my wife
Return Brian Rose’s TED talk by orders of the London Real Army

We still useing fosel fuel.
thank team good sir
oooh dis is very genius
"Urine is the main component of the amniotic fluid that bathes the human fetus.
Normally, the baby 'breathes' this urine-filled amniotic fluid into its lungs. If the urinary tract is blocked, the fetus does not produce the fluid, and without it, the lungs do not develop."
- New York Times Medical Section, August 16, 1988
In clinical studies using an extract of this fluid(urine) on cancer patients, most patients in the study showed remarkable improvement after only one week of treatment and continued treatment produced a reduction in tumor size and normalization of biochemical tests with-out toxic or dangerous side effects.
- Dr. S. Burzynski Physiology, Chemistry & Physics, 1977
It(Urine) surprisingly and easily kills viruses. In strong concentration, it not only weakens viruses such as polio and rabies, but actually destroys them.
- Proceedings of the Society of Experimental Biology, 1936
Natural antibodies to the HIV virus appear in this fluid(Urine) in patients diagnosed with AIDS. - New York University Medical Center, 1988
Sufficiently concentrated, it(Urine) will kill gonorrhea bacteria. - Dr. Robert C. Noble Division of Infectious Disease University of Kentucky College of Medicine, 1987
Urine is capable of controlling a wide range of food, environmental and chemical allergies.
- Dr. C.M.W. Wilson Department of Geriatric Medicine Law Hospital, Scotland, 1983
Urine is capable of killing or stopping the growth of the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.
- The American Review of Tuberculosis, 1954
This agent (Urine) is one of the safest and most useful diuretics known. Its use is indicated in the treatment of excess pressure on the brain and eyes, inoperable brain tumors, skull fractures, and cerebral contusions.
Further trials of this substance are warranted in the treatment of chronic glaucoma, hydrocephalus, delirium tremens, premenstrual edema, meningitis and epilepsy. - Symposium on Surgery of the Head and Neck Urea - New Use Of An Old Agent, 1957
This substance(Urine) acts as an excellent and safe natural vaccine and has been shown to cure a wide variety of disorders including chronic and acute hepatitis, whooping-cough, asthma, hayfever, hives, migraine and intestinal disfunctions. The method is so simple it can be used without any difficulties.
- Plesch Medical Press, London, 1947
Interesting
i'd like to tap into that
Skylar Tibbits
Very good knowledge, hope my channel gonna be Automotive talk like ted
The world was not designed to last forever. Jesus is coming back. The heavens will open, and you will see Him coming down to earth. Believe in Him and you will be saved.
There's gotta be a benefit from coastal erosion, I'm curious what ramifications could result in preventing it. My fallacy is assuming that just cause it exists and is a natural force makes it necessary, but who knows. It could very well be an essential aspect of some kind of mineral supply in the ocean, etc.
Lawrence the problem is that rising sea levels are drastically increasing coastal erosion. Millions of people will be affected. This is somewhat passive in that it minimises environmental effect. I would like to be a part of it
We have to know that we are destroying this world just by living normally and someone is taking that responsibility somewhere with enormous effort. I’m so impressed by this talk👏👏👏
This is interesting...
Fantastic! 😍
#discoverenjoyfeelgood2
Maldives were supposed to be gone over a decade ago.
You can grow sandbars using sunken geometrical shapes? Get it! 👍🏻
Excellent finding. Many people can benefit from this.
Bags of sand covered in Velcro. Your welcome. Or sink logs at the mouth of a harbour and tidal sediment will build up behind it eventually narrowing the mouth of the harbour and creating land.
So in the future, we can book a desert island holiday and wait for the island to grow.
Man will screw it up to think how long we have had to change.
i hope it's gonna things in future . because we need the world clean
very well
Highly fascinating but Skylar Tibbits? C’mon, that’s not a real name
the inventions at the beginning for adaptive technology kind of reminded me of the microbots from Big Hero Six.
Great...Lex Luthor has revealed himself.
Amazing 👍... #rkvlogs #VisualChordz
he's so young and smart, very good
Cal-Earth superadobe methods, meet the ocean.
That's interesting speech
Nice.Really enjoyed it.
Awesome !
Take my respect.
Minecraft survival builders can relate 10/10
Nice work...
If its changing this fast why would we live on islands and coastlines?
I’m EARLY EARLY

Love TED!
Why.
Climate change:
Typhoon
Hurricane
Cyclone
Tsunami
Drought

Changing the world to benefit us.... never changing ourselves to better the environment
We’re doomed 🤙🏻

I hope you would care to look my personal post on facebook, recently and care for removal and respect
building a thing twice the size at double the cost for the same objective seems like a real breakthough.

Yes, lets terraform more to accomodate overpopulation, while acting like the root cause of climate change, pollution, animal extinctions isn’t overpopulation.
People are slow, but sooner or later the masses will realize this simple truth. The question is how long will we try to treat the symptoms before we attack the sickness.
Wow, what an awesome, innovative and interesting way to help solve a problem. Fantastic work.
Now, nobody can complain there are too many people on Earth.
There are too many people on Earth.
Lei P Who then go on holiday to Maldives which is depending on tourism! Two birds with one shot!
ladi jada There aren't too many people on Earth. There is plenty of space and sustainable solutions for 10 more billion people to live with us. It's the greedy bustards who hoard all the money, the evil politicians who serve them and the even more evil fossil fuel industry, creating all the problems, not the number of people existing.
@@PaulSmith-pf2uq So where is the space for the forests and wildlife to live when your proposed 10 billion extra people arrive? Seems very selfish. Also, with more than double the current population, there will be need for even more regulation on people's liberties, thus more powerful governments and more "greedy bustards".
@@PaulSmith-pf2uq Do you think the "more evil fossil fuel industry" will benefit from more people, or fewer people? People use energy.
Skylar's Mom was very kind to donate her sweater for this presentation. I'm sure she's watching proudly in a room full of his participation trophies.
Really interesting and the simple solution to rising sea levels. Create more land by removing mass from the ocean floor. A deeper swimming pool always holds a lot more water. But will we be able to win the race?
It's absolutely amazing development that could lead to the end of the world.
It won't be the end of the world. We might not be here to see it, but our planets done these cycles before.
5:33 total fraud lol wtf
Okay. So I know this is really great for climate concerns, but really I just want to be able to build my own island somewhere just for me.
This tech looks like it's just a bunch of bags filled with sand and then add time. That's potentially cheap enough that a regular guy could afford it.
