- Gav and Dan go to an ocean simulator to film a wave that does not occur anywhere in nature in glorious 4K slow motion. Do we hit Dan in the face with it? Watch to find out. Spoiler: Yes.
I would like to complain about the treatment of the ducks
Nice

8:20 As Dan stares into the infinite capacity of time and space, the universe decides to pull a prank on him, and promptly blasts him with water.

Indeed.

Dan - “Can we verify that?”
Gav - “no”
Go Steven go!
Well, they could have replaced Steven with a duck of different color...

Ehm we all listen to it?
okay pigeons420
Myself and the team and FloWave were very very happy to host the SlowMo guys and to show off our amazing wave and current basin. The pre-production meetings were quite something and we did spend some time measuring rubber ducks with callipers and doing the risk assessments for the experiments. We have done experiments for research projects using floating infra-red reflective markers to track the free surface using our Qualysis camera system and made some more scientific wave measurements. We've also recreated the "Great wave" from Hokkusai's famous woodcut in experiments on obliquely crossing waves for Oxford University.

In English please

They were excited to have the SloMo guys, and had to make sure rubber ducks wouldn't damage the equipment.so someone had to do analysis on rubber ducks.
They've done other cool projects too.

2:01 that “doip” was perfection
HAHAHAHAH

Lets turn “Doip” into a meme
The last top down shot might be the best you have ever done. The grid bending is just incredible.
They should redo that shot, but with a second piece of glass to protect the camera. That way we can just see the water.
Came here to say this
Could key out the blue and get creative. Potentially some crazy looking stuff.
There could be clues of warping space in that shot.
They probably didn't have a piece of clear acrylic handy (I am not sure if glass wouldn't break being hit with the wave).
Dan: "We need to save it."
Life jacket: "Did somebody say 'save'?!" *FWOOOSH!*
This comment wins
It's like slime ooohhhh

Lmao 🤣
Actually, a wave similar to this can be created on a lake. When I was a teenager we would run the ski boat pulling a skier in a large circle while closing the radius of the circle with each pass so the waves reinforced each other. When the waves stacked up and hit the middle of the circle we would sharply turn to pull the skier through the middle as the water formed a deep trough and then swelled 4-6 feet high. No skier every made it through without being tossed high into the air. The ski boat also made a pretty good leap as well. When the timing was right with all the waves converging in the center at once, it was quite spectacular.
We would do the same thing dragging people on a donut. It was equally as fun to be launched as it was to perfect the pilot timing of creating the circle then whipping the tube into the center. HYSTERICAL limb-flailing launches. Good ol' times.
Hella clever!
Closest I’ve ever been to spike waves was being in them.
In 1987, hurricane Gilbert was getting close to the Yucatán peninsula.
Hurricane Florence was heading to New Orleans.
Some 400 miles from Florida, I was in a 53’ fishing boat.
18 foot waves from both hurricanes!
Square waves, the worst.
It was a full 40 feet from the top of waves to the troughs.
Those spike waves were everywhere, and they always came in threes.
We got slammed around a few times.
After a couple days of that, the owner of the boat called us ashore.
We weren’t scared in the least.
We were high on that danger!
It’s fun to do with jet skis, too.
who else thought they were going to sit in a boat in the middle of the spike wave??
the same i was thinking the whole video , when are they finally going to do it ! hahaha but i guess it was too big risk ofc
Me
me
i really wanted to see that happen that would be so cool
Well I thought one of them would do it
I'm just Imagining a scientist 5 months later finding a duck on the ceiling
let's see if they found it
Worthington jet of my dreams.
SmarterEveryDay More like nightmares considering where most people encounter a Worthington jet. After all that business with laminar flow and fluid dynamics I figured you’d comment on this. Makes me happy.
Outwardly similar to a Worthington jet, but physically different. This is an outcome of constructive wave interference rather than a point of low pressure. Both phenomena approximate singularities of kinetic energy, but they are distinct.
Felt sure you would comment :)
Destin, that was one of my favorite videos you did!! Explained it to my wife and parents and they couldn't stop laughing!!
And it was laminar flow
That looks really cool, but I hate when that happens in the toilet.
I just threw up 😣
Can't remember the channel for sure (might have been smarter every day) but they tested different methods for reducing splash back....a single piece of toilet paper on the surface of the water can greatly reduce the return fire after the plop
@@75ur15 thank you, kind sir
Yes
Poseidon’s kiss haha
This is one of the only cases where it was equally as interesting to watch it in real time.
2:00 most weirdly accurate sound effect of all time
dOIt
I slapped your mom! O' yeah yeah
Have any idea of the name of the sound effect?
@@LoveThomas07 water droplet .... extremely common sound beatboxers have to make like all the time .... extremely easy to do too,..... just watch tuts on UA-cam its easy
@@vzlfkr not really .... if u think that is accurate then ull lose ur mind if u hear beatboxers doing it
8:25 I'm so glad you guys added the sound effects cause that literally gave me chills 😂
NyDat CoolGuy when they take slo mo videos, it actually doesn’t record sound. All the sound you hear in the slo-mos are engineered from scratch
the absolute best part of the video. grid warping with that sound effect. so glad they worked so hard to get that shot. if it were my camera, i would have been quite apprehensive.
Sound effect is ua-cam.com/video/RIVsqPMu95A/v-deo.html
Loved the sound effect!! You can also see the goggles in the shot at the top
it's the same sound effect from king crimson from jojo
The slow mo guys have THE BEST SOUND engineers and editors in the crew.
The sound editing and the special effects sounds when frames are shown slower or transitioning is simply crazy good.
And it's just Gavin doing the sound design himself. There's a good video about it on their second channel, well worth a watch.
5:58 when you get comfortable with the girl you're dating
Lmao
Made my day 😂
Wtf HAHAHAHAHA
Bruh

6:35 “and if you look at the bottom of the bottle, the penny is gone”

It Took me so long to get it.... LOL
Oh I get it bow
😂😂😂
imagine playing a game of pirates, suddenly hearing boss music as the waves around you ripple into the position your boat is in, and suddenly...
*doip*
wtf
Does having this effect in a cutscene count? :D ua-cam.com/video/6PLglkcuL38/v-deo.html

This.
Someone looking for a documentary material please go make video that covers everything about that place. Show and explain it more diligently. All waves explained etc.
It might go all the way through and come out Dan’s mouth
This is what you would call a bidon't.
He did
Ouch
Dan: Woah look how clear that is, look at that blade of wa-
Gavin: *DIRECTLY UP YOUR NOSTRILS*

I did not even notice that lol

Oh yeah!
I was so hoping Dan was going to ride the wave in the middle and get tossed in the air....
Me too :)
I dare all the girls to take cool whip pies to the face and put the video on youtube!!

yah i think he would die from that
@@zag786 it would just be like flying that's all
I love how at 9:07 you can tell how much the person holding the camera is laughing from how the camera is shaking 😄
hahahaha I hadnt noticed
Also, everyone's laughing hard enough you can hear them on the body mics from 40-50 feet away, no small feat.
9:04 I wished this was filmed at high speed. Look at Dan´s face!
His name is Gavin.
temqwerty xd
Fun fact: the machine did nothing actually, there was a paid team of waterbenders behind camera to make the spike and the waves
Plantimations lol
But then everything changed when the rubber ducks attacked
and some metalbenders moving the metal to make you think it’s a wave pool
True Doggo earthbenders* but yeah
That had too happen
okay, but is anyone gonna mention how perfectly he made that sound @ 2:00

I was hoping he was gonna try sitting overtop of the spike in a small raft or boat
I too was thinking about that😂😂

Too bad he didnt

8:24 my body felt like, it was getting Pulled. into another dimension.
IKR
I thought I was the only one so I was scared to comment but I found u
Like when u have too much ket aha
Like a black hole
Watch this on shroom
9:06 Love how you can hear everyone in the background laughing 😆
8:13 when u take a dump and the drop comes back after you
Dude I'm taking one right now and I'm trying to have that happen 😂
LaZy BeEaSt why tf do you want that to happen?
RK 740 don’t kinkshame
Ahh the good ol' Poseidon's kiss
*dies of laughter
9:01 - I could literally watch that on repeat all day. That was hysterical!
It was also scripted/fake, but that was obvious🤷♂️ you can see Dan ever so slightly lean back to pull the cord to activate the backup activation for when it doesn’t do it automatically...
Infernal_ NL I don’t think it was because the camera was splashed with water also could’ve been the water because it came back down and must’ve pulled it a bit not all the way for a bit then he accidentally ever so slightly pulled it
My mom: What have you been doing all day?
Me: watching slow mo water...
@@infernalGotYou Bold of you to assume the show is even scripted at all
@@JetFalcon710 i mean gav did say the youtube originals are scripted, and even some of the normal slow mo guys vids are scripted, they wouldnt script something like that in though, even considering the crew laughed,
9:02 Best moment ever... everybody laughing behind the camera
Dude can barely keep the camera on target lol
This has to be one of the most satisfying video you guys have ever made. I've probably watched this 15 times now and always impressed by it
8:31 I'd love to put a laser pointer in at this point. Look at how the grid actually bends back onto itself and doubles it's own image. I wonder what would happen to the beam of the laser.
i kind-of just want to see what the grid itself would look like without the guy there.
8:21 -- Coolest thing ever! It's like he's about to enter a worm hole in space/time!
And there is an ocean on the other side of the portal...
Or a squirting alien....
The return trip, diving is the opposite
Epic Benjo FTLs primed and ready to go Captain. Initiate jump
i was thinking about stagate when I saw it . glorious!
Imagine if they took the bottom grid off and used that effect in a movie , it’d look dope
dan's lifejacket inflating and gav just sitting there laughing at him is their friendship in one clip
I love how you can hear the crew laughing and see whoever is holding the camera laughing.
08:56 After just being hit in the face with half a swimming pool, I'm actually most surprised about his hair being completely dry... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:27 It looks like space itself is warping! It's like a water droplet's ripples in reverse, this would make for a great effect in a movie!
I was thinking just the same
The second time looks like a warp drive animation.
Looks like Stargate dud
already done in zelda tp ua-cam.com/video/zY4ueeCPFyU/v-deo.html
I bet it would be fun to be swimming in the middle when the wave was being done
Zachary Ebert yeah
I thought they were gonna do that !!
You would fly
Drowning is fun.
You'd probably get crushed
I'd genuinely love to see how the email went in regards to cooperating permissions to use the NuWave pool for the above purposes.
"We want to put hundreds of rubber duckies in your scientific wave pool so we can watch them fly during the spike wave thingy that we saw on the UA-cams. That mmkay?"
"Sure! Come on over! What could go wrong?"
Joshua Langley they may have actually done it in the past with floating spheres rather than ducks to see how the water would affect objects in the water
Dan in every Slo Mo video involving water: *phwoar it went straight up my nose*
8:26 you can see the glasses in the water in the top of the frame
😂
YeeEh
Oh my god

Great spot

8:24 i love that sound affect and the way the water warps the grid.
5:57 for the next 5 seconds you can see gav’s gears turn as he thinks “......I can make this better”
*Gav* - Hello, I'm Gav
*Dan* - I'm done.
@Игорь Головко you should type it like "woof", that's their version of barking noises

Игорь Головко aaah so dragon quest 4 originated from Russia, there was a dog that didn’t get translated and so he just said “gav gav”
8:43 Looks like He's about to enter a stargate.
its actually a really really cool looking shot, theres potential there for a practical effect- even the water splashing around him
I hope everyone understand now how volcano eruption works. Just exchange pool with vibrating edges with water by a crater and magma during earthquake and you get such result with lava cone wave!

no he doesn't?
8:20
ONE SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN GAZING INTO THE ABYSS...
I like how at 01:57 the wave seems to be simultaneously going up and down at the same 🕙. Pretty freakin cool
8:25 Found his goggles! At the top of the grid, middle.
Yep there they are nice catch
Nice eye bro
I only saw them after you mentioned where they were. Good eye
Mans a hawk innit
What a bull's,eye xD
8:23 I don't think you could have chosen a better sound effect!
Easly Movie worthy
It isn’t a sound effect
Punks Renteria :thinking:
Chose
Za Worldo!
8:26 when you enter another dimension
LSD
Agree
Dan has entered the server
It’s like a portal opening
8:39 was
It'd be so hilarious if one of the ducks landed above the ceiling pillars and stayed there after they cleaned up and left, only to fall off some day, long after their visit when they're doing some scientific tests with another group.
"Uh... Jim, there's a rubberducky in the pool"
"Wha? Why? How?"
I would love it if that happened but unfortunatly I think Gav and Dan cleaned up all the ruberducks
I have nightmares about similar waves in the toilet.

Always use a landing pad in public toilets haha
Should have had dan be on the boat while the waves shoots up...
I mean maybe that would break the waves and not make as much force but either way.
At least had the boat by itself
Yeah, I was kinda hoping for that too.
Still, the full-on face wash wasn't bad.
I was going to comment that to, then I saw yours. I’m a bit disappointed that they didn’t.
There is still hope that they kept the footage for part 2...
Yeah was really hoping they would do that
9:09 love the whole research team laughing
I would LOVE to see that shot at the end, looking down into the water, without his head in the way.... its like looking into a wormhole opening!
Remember when they were just popping giant water balloons in their backyard? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
👍
😂
Need slow mo of the life jacket inflating
Yeah, I'm disappointed they didn't get that on the slow motion camera … but there's still time.
I am extremely disappointed dan didn't get a chance to ride out the wave in his boat.
Bold
OldeOne deESuhrim m
They probably don't allow people in the water while current machine is on. Though I'm thinking of a new Hitman level opportunity.
My mom: What have you been doing all day?
Me: watching slow mo water...
They missed a major opportunity by not standing on that platform thing and waving their arms like they're waterbending. Because come on, if timed right that'd look like waterbending
RIP Mars rover Opportunity

Hendrik I'd hope so, but the guy talking about some type of water jitsu doesn't obviously lol
9:01
Automatic inflatable life preserver in slow motion?
they should do that next.
The correct time is just before inflation and at 9:04 to about 9:07
I love that at high volume you can hear the crew laugh at the airbag inflating! ;D Hahaha I rewatched several times!
I just love these guys .... Been watching their videos for 6 years now.
I would be so grateful to see these two in real life.
I swear I saw Dan walking down the street when I was in the UK. Didn't stop and say anything tho. That would have been cringey as feck.

i also like how charming and nice and polite Dan is but can be angry at times too
Yeah I also think the same... my favorite UA-camr 😀
2:47 That machine is incredibly accurate to produce such a perfectly symmetrical wave.
No ducks were harmed during the making of this video

7:30 DAT FACE
8:40 it looks like he's in a tunnel made of water!
6:52 + rotate 90° clockwise = "The Abyss 1989"
It looks like he’s just going about his day, and then a wormhole to an ocean opens up right in his face.
So this is what they mean by a wave check

The Hh we don’t even know the 4th one
Depending on how you think, the forth dimension is time, but I believe you meant the 4th physical dimension which some people speculate is viewable/unviewable mass, which is like if you see a small rubber ball that grows larger, then smaller without you changing your perception point.

True wtf
@@JT.00000 y tho?
aight calm down
Many years ago, I spent a fall sailing the Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California). Look at that body of water on a map or GE. It's extremely long, skinny and DEEP. When the winds blow straight down the length of the sea, the waves start to reflect from the steep banks, causing them to interfere with each other. When things go perfectly wrong, this forms what we sailors of the SoC called "square waves", with a spike wave at each of the vertices. While not 90' high, this created one of the most unpleasant sailing experiences imaginable.
The opening scene of Captain and Commander shows some small square seas.
I might be forgetting something but this was the funniest SlowMoGuys video I remember. It was just not the standard surreal but legitimately funny.
"let me just stick my head here so I can get a concussion from splashing water"

I read the pressure is enough to crush a car, so probably better that he didn't
@@randy2811 you can't compress water, but it still can have pressure
FloWave has said that the force of the water there wasn't necessarily safe. I assume they tested it striking an object before letting Dan put his face in it.

out of context slow mo guys?

Probably not allowed to have people in it for safety, idk
The pressure spike must be pretty dramatic at the centre of that pool. I'd like to see a Mythbusters-style crash test dummy test on it.

Lmao yeah R.I.P if that was the case.
He’d be crushed firts
