The Devastating Power Of Water | Richard Hammond's Wild Weather | Spark
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 гру 2024
- Richard Hammond investigates the crucial role water plays. Without water, there would be almost no weather: no rain, no snow, no hail, no clouds. So Richard goes in pursuit of water in all its forms. He tries to weigh a cloud, finds out how rain could crush a car, and gets involved in starting an avalanche.

This should be shown in high school for kids, Richard Hammond is a great narrator and he goes in to great depth in explaining visually as well as audibly.
I like the fact that Richard uses his fame to advance scientific knowledge. It’s easily understood, well explained, and made simple for the average dufus, such as me. And I love learning.
Johann Olivier Do you think he doesn’t get paid for it?
Tom W Of course he is getting paid. However, he could have been doing something else with his fame, rather that do something that is educational and interesting.
@@johannolivier377 I agree. For example Kim Kardashian. Instead of using her fame to advance scientific knowledge, she use it for fake documentary and enlarging her arse
Hammond wasn't instantly famous. He worked as a radio presenter for BBC until he joined Top Gear in 2002.
Already in 2003 (again, not really famous at that time) he also presented the show "Brainiac: Science Abuse".
My point is, Richard Hammond has always done science stuff even before he became famous.
Not much different from James May i might add. Except James is also very much into doing fiddly stuff.
All three do it, although Jeremy veers more toward engineering. Jeremy presented Inventions which changed the World for instance.
These have to be the most under-rated documentaries. This is literally better then 95% of content on UA-cam, if not more
Except for clips from the old Top Gear or the Grand Tour
As if you could have seen anywhere near 100% of the content to know that ?
You only have yourself to blame with your clicking habits for what the algorithm cues up .
And you should know that compliments born out of negativity are not really much of a compliment.
Well said, I totally agree.
@@polishavgeek1849 what is a clup
@@angelique7618 Oh, it's a word
*Richard drops water off wrong side of the building*
Jeremy: "Hammond you eeediot"
James: *Wheezing in laughter*
fuck man 😂
ahahaha 😂
Usually, it's Hammond you blithering idiot XD, I used to watch top gear when the trio was part of it. My favourite is still the flying washing machine.
You got Jeremy wrong: HAMMUND YOU BLITHERING EEEEEEDIOOTTT
Did anyone else find this calming or just me? The music, rain sounds along with his fairly soft voice almost made me wanna sleep.
No. That is james may.
Tonight on the grand tour: Hammond harrases a cloud
Seriously underrated comment I laughed so hard
"I did not have sexual relations with the cloud."

As much as hammond is associated with top gear, the amount of engineering and science knowledge he has delivery through his narrating shows is amazing.
You know he doesn't actually write this stuff, right? it is a script, he reads what thy give him. And acts surprised like it wasn't expected.
I like the fact you leave “mistakes” or less than ideal circumstances in the show. It adds to the relatability, and thus facilitates a sort of empathetic learning. Good job, well done!
what?
@@CARLIN4737 oh sorry, translation: learning good! teacher good, but not soo good teacher is perfect.. me good, but not too good im perfect. me good like teacher... me feel more connected to learning, because application of knowledge, presented in a realistic tangible way is a most effective means by which facts/concepts/theories come to life. (hope u caught the last part, i couldn't keep up the facetious tone) 😉 (ps hope u didnt take response as an attack on ur intelligence, the goal of communication is to convey ideas clearly ((which apparently i did not achieve) of course im just guessing that's what was meant by ur laconic retort) *i guess its possible siri or alexa didnt read my reply loud enough*
{I'm pretty sure the most perfect response to all this would be "huh"?}
I can hear Jeremy Yelling HAMMOND! lo
Followed shortly by
“You blithering idiot!”
Too bad the old days are over, i would love to see Hammond releasing a giant dildo into a tornado or something :D
I just read it in Clarkson's voice
And James yelling “HAMOND YOU MUPPET”
You can't not read it in their voices lol
So glad this was in my recommended... Need more of this... Love Richard Hammond's narration. No fluff just fun information.
Really love Hammond's series! Always interesting, and you learn a lot you've always thought about but never really bothered to look up xD
30:35 Idk much about Richard aside from weather docs but his bewildered reaction to the guy eagerly offering to saw a 10yr old hailstone in half is golden 😂and the way the guy just chuckles and gets to it.
Finally a star that uses his fame for something educating instead of the next stupid talent show for example :) Great stuff Hammond!
Richard has the best narration presentation since Attenborough
Really appreciate Richard Hammond, he is truly gifted. Anyone can understand the details of every study. He is witty and uses humor to get a point across, absolutely brilliant 👏
Hamster talking about water for an hour. It's my wet dream.
Wet, eh?
Yeah, water
26:18 Even on a different show, Hammond can't catch a break 😂
Hammond is good narrator, i like it and im not even native English speaker myself.. !
Lerssinen we can tell
@@the-potato-warrior Don't be rude
Arshia Chhabra or?
@@the-potato-warrior Nothing, I don't even know you
Its just kindness
This is what happened when hamster starts to remember stuff.
😂😂😂dogggggggg
Clouds normally live at the top of thermals. Great content, most enjoyable. Didn't realise that Richard had a pilot's licence... good man!
Wow
I just love how Richard digests and explains this into simple understanding
Much love for your videos from 🇰🇪
I had to watch this for my meteorology class, but I must say, this was a very fascinating documentary. It reminded me a lot of the older Mythbusters episodes.
It was a prolific and informative episode. I was staggered with the painstaking labour you have done to make it simple and well explained thanks for this 🙏
A shame this doesn't have more views than it does! Fantastic production, and great presenting by Hamster!
Maybe people don’t like to watch something with ads every two minutes? I for one stopped watching after 8; I’ve got better things to do
24:48 Imagine the effort of making your own big sand castle in the beach just to be ruined by your little sister.
Here's a long one - comment that is. Your channel is a new discovery for me. You have a great sense of humour and an attractive character to go along with great content. Thanks for all the vids (many of which I have still to watch). I watched your reaction to your first UA-cam video and it was both amusing and unsettling. As someone who is about to start uploading vids frequently soon, I can see my awkward stiffness and forced humour/forced everything without even having to look back so it's daunting to expose myself all uninitiated and stuff. Hopefully I'm doing the right thing by moving ahead with my awkwardness and relying on good content and merciful viewers (ya, right) rather than trying to polish my performance before debuting. I feel like it's a bit like polishing a turd at this point anyway if I'm honest :P Anyway, my chanel is about builds and I'm very impressed with your DIY vids - you have some amazing ingenuity and great skills. Your results are seriously impressive. It's also cool that you're so local to me as I'm in the Fraser Valley. All the best!
Amazing slow-motion footages from 19:30
more we need more of this because its interesting
Michael Seabrook it’s*
Agreed I love to see them all do their own specials and shows
I like the childlike wonderment with which Richard presents science
I think we can all relate to that
OnTheAir89 those of us that can appreciate things like science at least
what a wonderful program!! First one ive watched. Cant wait to check out more:) The high speed photography is incredible!!!
This was a delightful, educational video... I appreciated the humor 😜 Richard Hammond injected, remnants of Top Gear. 🚘 LOVE IT!!! 🤪
Right!!! I’m convinced Tom cruise is definitely Richard Hammond’s stunt double.
I just watched this in my science class today, very excited and pleased
Imagine it raining caravans lol, or even sugur cubes for that matter.
Love this series, hammond is a good presenter too. I always learn things. It gives answers to abstract questions, similar to ones I think of but keep to myself. For example, what's the weight of a cloud per unit of volume.
This is worth having to skip over the occasional ad, it's absolutely brilliant.
Richard makes it fascinating. Most of it I found was general knowledge but then I did learn some stuff too.
after watching this i would appreciate WATER more than ever in my life.
I live in Canada, which is in North America. We don't call ice pellets sleet, we use the same definition of a slushy mixture you do.
Richard says the cloud could weigh up to the weight of 2 elephants..............the next cloud that floated by, looked like it had a trunk.
So the other elephant must have stayed aboard.
Watched this is school, and haven't enjoyed an essay video more. Great job, I don't normally like science but this was an interesting documentary:)
10:47 and that's only multiplying by 2D area size and haven't accounted for the 3D volume size.
18:35 The reason why the trio is best and why we love them
Out of curiosity, where in America do we call ice pellets sleet? I've always known sleet as a mixture of rain and snow (I'm from the Western end of the North East). Though now that I think of it, I've encountered all three at the same time, and would still consider it sleet.
Moist air is actually lighter than dry air, which seems counterintuitive but owes to the fact that O2 and N2 molecules are both heavier than H2O molecules
a lots of answers of mind bugling every day natural phenomena..... Amazing
we need to put this documentary in every school
Imagine them just flying a sheep through the cloud instead of the sky sponge
A sheep isn't very absorbant, they're covered in natural oil and grease from their skin so they don't freeze to death when it rains.
@@_s_9920 it'll make them trap more water :) , it was just a joke btw as there were looking at sheep's sorry if you mistook it.
Okay, the very last experiment was bloody awesome!
Great stuff! I didn't even notice the time, this is very entertaining and also packed full of information, very well done!
Hammond does such a great of explaining to the average listener than most others.
You could tell that fella really valued that hailstone, and yet, he cut it open ❤
18:42 such a TopGear moment this is
Absolutely fascinating. Every day is a school day and that is brilliant.
Richard constantly playing with clouds from the machine 😂
In New England we call slushy ice/snow mix "sleet" as well. I have never heard the other useage.
I have seen this before . And i do not know why i am drawn to watch it again?
29:14 i have learned something new about hail, i am happy.
I love rain and cloudy days
This video🎥 is wonderful✨thank you❤🌹
Hammond is such a really good presenter...id listen to him explain how paint dries.
19:30, hi, can I find out what's the title, or who composed that Soundtrack? Thank you.
Honister is an awesome place, beautiful and interesting. God bless
46:30 Notice the Fiat Panda 4x4 in the background
Super good stuff...Thanks...More more more...!
Thanks Hamster. I had doubts but this new series is thoroughly entertaining!
If you want to fall asleep peacefully try to watch this till the end
Beautiful work Richard
Falling in love❤ with Hammond 🥲😇😇
How does that ice or hail firing machine work?
I don't ge it...... how does piercing the back end of the tube there behind the projectile make it fire? What kind of setup is that....?
it makes no sense to me.
any body in the know care to share the knowledge❓
It's a vacuum cannon, there's a lot of videos on the subject. Basically, you seal the tube, draw a hard vacuum, and when you pierce the end the air rushing in forces the projectile down the tube, breaking the film on the muzzle end.
Why is this video kindling my faith or is it my awe. I look at that thin slice of hailstone and I see tree rings but also galaxies. Damnit.
Very impressive and loved the way you explained natural phenomenon..love your all videos..
Spark should do more collaboration with Hammond
That was a great show! It was very informative and yet also very entertaining! 👍👍
How did you spend the evening? Well I came with a title "Even Clouds Must Die." Thanks of course to the constant perils Mr Hammond puts his body through for our amusement, edification and of course education.
Mr. Hammond good Evening. I'm your Fan, Clouds are tiny water droplets and when they go to the Atmosphere they form clouds. And why do some places might have a huge water body/bodies yet receive less or no Rain. Especially in Some places right here in Kenya?
I'm stunned and speechless
You gave me an idea for a new avalanche survival device :-D it acts as a half cone type structure that you can get below, and then has a piston to lift and push up as you dig with it, to get you out :-D You can deploy it quickly and buckle down... When the avalanche starts to settle, thats when you start pumping the device to make it pushes to the sides and up as you dig up and it follows around you to help... its a fairly simple concept, but building with strong enough materials to hold the weight and light enough to carry as a safety device is an issue...
Each device should have a GPS sensor and a close range high frequency broadcast beacon for anyone searching :-D
The main issue is to create it Fold-able, light, and Easy design to allow a flow over it instead of into you...
There's also the moisture in the air that's probably being absorbed by the wool ball, but that's probably negligible compared to the cloud itself.
@18:00 I Love your Jacket :-D
I survived hurricane Irma when I lived west of Orlando, was nuts, I was right in the eye at one point and it really is oddly silent. I have no footage, power was out for 7 days. And I'm a pastey white Brit, not cool Florida..
«Oh, they're going to notice...» XD XD XD
Fast avalanche. Early snows build up in the mountains. Then the weather warms and the surface melts and freezes at night. Then another 12' or more of snow over the winter. Spring rains do not melt the snow, it runs thru. The water contacts the ice layer and lubricates it. When it lets go, the speed is unreal. Don't get in the way!
i remember watching this video like 5 years ago
@@putoutmyfirewithgasoline1799 search bbc crushing a car with water. Get fuked.
26:30 Who else thought it was going to smash the sand castle?
This is just wonderful. Thank You💦
How many more “in the advancement of science” series must Richard do before we’re referring to him as Sir Richard Mark Hammond? I’m American, so I have no idea what qualifies one for knighthood.
Samuel Phippen well if he does another 15 years I guess he could get a knight hood for services to entertainment
It requires a sword and an old person
Samuel Phippen You can use one of the greatest half-american inventions - Google, to find out. I suppose you can read letters in american, if not use another american invention - Siri on your iPhone.
See, there are so many things for you to find shit out with, you don't even have to move your body...and yet you ask in the comments, like a wanker.
@@adaptorperish1322 He's american, probably doesn't know what a wanker is...
Also, why are you so crabby?
Sad Endings tf is your problem? All he did was ask a question.
Really loved this series !
Impressed to see Richard flying a helicopter, nice one. Good documentary.
@47:10 that unsung hero of a pilot deserves to be seen on camera, why weren't you filming him as he maneuvered??
22:40... JAMES, there's been a bit of a problem with your car!
This is awesome , congrats, we need more
Thats the best core ive seen. Cool..
The frequency of the ads is a bit obnoxious, but I do love me some Hammster!
Awesome vid!
Awsome Awesome Awesome more please !!!!!
Brilliant show DOT
Andy was co pilot as in Hughes helicopters PIC sits on left. Usually in choppers PIC sits on right seat.
Lol he wanted sooo bad for people to think he was in charge of the helicopter 🚁 🤣
What a knowledgeable documentary explained very clearly
Why is there something lagging across the mountains at 46:51
Dear Sir, can you please help me regarding making artificial clouds using that ultrasonic vibrations that you show.
