Funny that you say that because I was thinking "If I were lost at sea I would cling onto that thing and make is malfunction so they get the alarm and go fix it and save me" lol
They can be scary. Especially when deploying and recovering them at sea when ocean conditions are "less-than-favorable". They are very heavy and the USCG and NOAA have worked together at sea for more than 50 years to make the operation as safe as possible. Buoy deployment and at-sea operations professionals are among the bravest.
If you pause the video at 8:00, the map shows that many of these buoys are waaay out in the middle of the ocean, hundreds of miles from the nearest land.
They're essentially strong anchored floaties with bunch of sensors attached to a computer transmitting data via radio waves. Buoys are great scientific tools, but they do not contain special trade secrets, and nothing to copy from. It's not some secret technology.
This is an amazing video.. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this information! I briefly mention a buoy in my story so of course I need to know everything about them. 😂
Buoys which are in deep waters like 4000m are they anchored by the weight and chain as well??
Such a solid video!
thank you great info.
Glad it was helpful!
I feel like they should be much wider on the base incase someone is lost at sea in the very rare circumstances of being located near a buoy

@@trxtech3010 This has happened on multiple occasions. Data buoys have saved lives at sea.
genius !
Thanks I’ve heard of them just Didn’t know what they do
I like buoys.
Me too I think they are interesting
i swear to God, I always thought they are bomb baits for sharks
Lol
Lol cuz of Finding Nemo?
These things scare me and i don’t know why.
You probably have submechanophobia. It's the fear of man-made objects that are partially or fully submerged underwater.
@@KCNIsDandy definitely that. Thanks for letting me know it’s actual name.
Yeah, terrifies me and it doesn't even make sense.
same

i absolutely cannot find how far out these things are, you cannot find that for some reason. like, are they a mile out? half a mile?

Amazing
