This video was very informative. I have always wondered "what would it look like if Phil Collins was absolutely, massively stoned, living in his car, having fingernails long enough to hunt his food barehanded and rambling incoherently." Now I know.
I am not sure whether someone should be filming themselves whilst being completely hazed out of reality like that. This sounds like one of these "universal explanation rants" often witnessed at music festivals...
@@betaorionis2164 Dude it's literally been a meme like forever. His dad might have said that but so has every other skeptic for the past 50 years. It's not some earth shattering revelation as far as quotes go, it's probably in every skeptic video ever. Just saying try to be more original than that, it's very very well used.
Yes it's every pilot's nightmare situation: "Oh no, I seem to be very very slowly drifting further away from the air show. If only there was some way I could get back there"
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 I don't even know if Mikey is the Christian fundamentalist kind of flat earther. There's also the atheist "globe skeptics".
Some conclusions about this fellow: 1 - when he takes a train, he expects to remain in the departure station when the train gets to its destination, since "it's moving underneath the people" 2 - he has never heard of airplane engines bypass ratio (TL;DR it's how much thrust is generated by the blades, i.e. pure air in, pure air out, compared to the thrust of the turbine, which can reach up to 12:1) 3 - buoyancy is a *consequence* of gravity plus density, not a replacement for gravity; he probably doesn't know the difference between buoyancy and Beyoncé
Look at Micky's eyes in the car. He's high as a kite. Also I was an aircraft line mechanic for 40 years. 8-10 hours a day at the airport, don't recall ever being poisoned by the engine exhaust.
Hahaha. Yep. That was my thought too. What we really witnessed in the car there was a bit of cannabis induced "wizdom', where a high individual gets SUPER impressed by their own thoughts.
Dan, I don't know why you are so dismissive. The bloke has a valid point. I just started my car and the exhaust knocked 3 people over who were walking past my drive. After much deliberation I bent my exhaust pipe down and tried again. I instantly moved upwards and crashed through my bedroom window.
"Thanks, Bob," has become a running joke in our household. If someone says something obvious, instead of "ya think?" or "no s, Sherlock" it's "hey, thanks, Bob." I'm even using it to actually say thank you. When my niece brought me a glass of water, I instinctively said, "Thanks, Bob." Of course, being 6, she immediately said back, "I'm Grace, not Bob, silly."
The first part was pretty good. He showed that Earth rotates, that both the moon and Venus have phases, that they are both lit by the sun (which is in the same direction for both), and that Venus was toward the far side of its orbit (which is why the lit area appeared so large) while the moon is much closer to us. A nice bit of amateur astronomy.
He really went downhill after that. The second part was completely mystifying: what was he trying to prove apart from, "look at me I am completely smashed out of my mind!"
Crazy. I had a fly in my car for over 50 miles, flying around, doing figure 8s... why didn't he move further and further away from me as I drove those 50 miles? My car was moving, but amazingly the fly was still right there! omg!
One time I was flying in an airplane, and I had a ball in my hand, and when I tossed it in the air, it flew backward at over 500 miles per hour, crushing my skull, because conservation of momentum isn't a thing. Took a while to recover from that.
Even if the airplanes weren't spinning along with the earth, you'd think that the pilots would make sure the show stays overhead of the visitors and doesn't randomly end up somewhere else. An airshow is performed by pilots, it's not a random atmospherical effect xD
Exactly. One of the very first things a pilot does for a show in a new city is fly to landmarks to familiarize themselves with them. Sometimes for an hour or so before even landing in the city. Things like hills, large unmistakable buildings, train tracks, the edge of lakes, etc. become an important part of the show, even though they can be thirty miles away from the airport or main show center. (this mostly applies to high speed demonstrations like Blue Angels, RAF etc.) They aren't just aimlessly looping around with their eyes closed all day regardless of wind speed or where the ground is. HAHA It's almost like Mikey has no idea what he's talking about and should probably be sober before hitting the upload button.
@@rocketrabble6737 Right? And his second airplane thing, he's like "Oh a runway next to a beach, that's such a bad idea within 'science', so science must be wrong" I'm like: No, it's just a bad idea. Look at these people flying around xD
Many flat earthers think the ground is literally rotating beneath them at 1000 mph. They do not know the difference between linear velocity and angular velocity. So basically they think airplanes at an airshow would need to be able to fly at 1000 mph just to stay overhead the audience.
When I was 4 years old I thought the earth should spin under airplanes, when I was 6 I solved the confusion by jumping up and down in a fast train. Mikey is still at the level of 5 year old me!!!
@@CadillacDriver I am a scientist, I was probably a scientist in my last life (although I have to admit that their is no scientific evidence that I even had a last life.) I remember dropping my teddy bear over and over again in a fast train wondering why it didn't land back a bit. I might have been 6 or 7 but I was very young.
@@tychophotiou6962 Your profession means squat. Like I said, far too young to comprehend or even know about what you claim. 4? Hahaha, no. Then 6 or 7 wondering why things were landing directly below you on a train? Yeah, OK, I believe you... 😂
I bought a cheap Chinese telescope, it was a 10" reflector. (about £400) It came with absolutely no electronics. For an extra £100 I bought what I believe is called the "clockwork". This is just a battery pack and two electric motors. That enables you to track a celestial object. The eyepieces were of low quality but I managed to see the stripes on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Mars and many times the Moon. Viewing the terminator on Moon is very interesting because you can see the shadows cast by mountains and the rims of craters. Proving that the Moon is not self-illuminating. So for £100 I was able to correct for our 15° per hour rotation (Thanks Bob!) and keep an object in the center of my field of view. That "Thanks Bob" joke will never grow old! Dan, keep up the good work, demolishing dumb flerfs. Edit: I forgot to mention that I saw the phases of Venus. Edit two: I also saw the ice cap on Mars.
That's really cool mate. I'd like to get a telescope again one day. I had a telescope when I was a kid albeit much more modest in its capability, but I used it to peer at the moon a lot and also to project the image of the sun into a shoebox with a square piece of paper inside and a viewing window to see in. That way I could view the sun safely, see the sunspots and follow the suns rotation over time. I was so into it and I spent a lot of time with my head buried in science and Astronomy books. So yeah, you've reminded me to get back into it.
@SciManDan Thanks for not just entertaining, but educating! I was using my brand new astro photography tracker and tried to figure out how fast it was turning. Then it hit me "A 15 degree per hour drift". Of course! Thanks Bob!
Everyone here seems to have already been thinking what I was about his... state of sobriety, lol. Dan, how you did this video straight-faced is beyond me, you gave him so much more credit than I would have! 😆
he’s like the drunk who corners you in a pub with one of those “you know what, mate, the fing is” monologues which are basically ignorant crap. well done on the dismantling.
I run into these guys in the bathroom. They stand in front of the urinal next to you because they know they have you trapped for at least the next ten seconds.
Firstly, this man seemed stoned out of his mind when he was sat in his car, which would explain a lot of his thinking. Secondly, as an aircraft engineer who has been stood in Jet Efflux on plenty of occasions, I can tell you that it is unpleasant, does stink, and can very much lead to you being overcome from fumes. The biggest danger with jet efflux is the force of it however, secondary to the temperature. Fumes are not an issue if the exposure is only brief, as seen in these videos.
Honestly it looked more like he was wasted, he has that lulling speech pattern I know from severe alcoholics Edit: On second view, I honestly think he needs help
@@Mikki-Moo agreed and he certainly needs help when sat in a car in this state. I know two alcoholics, who despite losing their licence, continue to get caught driving. One family were ordered to put their car keys in a safe or prison might follow for the affected family member.
I've been stoned out of my mind many times, and had far more coherent thoughts than this guy. In fact, that's when I get into science documentaries the most, I'm like, WHOA at everything. But seriously, he may be stoned, but that doesn't really account for his complete lack of scientific understanding.
Most of the jet engines thrust comes from bypass air. The core of the engine where the fuel is burned produces just 20% of the thrust, but is responsible for driving the fan that produces the bypass air.
Out of all the characters the flat earth community has produced, I have to say I quite like Mikey! More of a sweet and misguided flerf rather than some of the more aggressive and obnoxious ones that chuck out awful insults to anybody they disagree with. I'd love to see more of his "experiments" get looked at by Dan. I won't say debunked because that would give them too much credit, but scoffed at in a playful way like this video.
There’s a lot of guys in that community like this. They’re the ones that made me quit mocking the community as a whole. These make me sad and the Nathans make me angry. I don’t enjoy either of those.
I love the pregnant pauses between his ruminations, he masterfully tricks you into thinking theres some deep thinking during thoses pauses, when in reality it's just his brain rebooting.
I'm glad Mikey had his car door open, letting all that fresh air in. I was worrying for a bit that he might be affected by all those toxins and poisons he's breathing out!
I know. It’s even funnier than putting a light on a nighttime beach and having to raise it higher so people looking through a slot far away can seei, disproving your flerf theory.
“Don’t get it. I really don’t get it.” The only thing he was right about. He genuinely doesn’t understand that an aircraft engine isn’t a rocket engine. It’s not blasting fuel and exhaust out behind. The purpose of the fuel in the engine is to spin an enormous turbine. That then blows air out the back. Just air. There MIGHT be some exhaust gasses mixed in but I honestly don’t think there’s be much.
Yeah... from what I understand of the average turbine engine design, the engine itself is a small bit in the middle, spinning the blades around it. It does vent the fumes into the air being pushed through the turbine, but it's a small percentage of the gasses that're being shoved through. And I'm guessing this guy has never actually stood on a runway at an airport. You can quite clearly smell jet fuel fumes.
Hi, Based on my limited understanding, that's not quite how a jet engine works, after all the most basic form of jet is a RamJet, which has no turbines at all, just a combustion area. The turbines accelerate and compress the air into a combustion area. A small amount of fuel is sprayed into the compressed air and then ignited. The heat from the combustion causes the air and combustion gases to expand, which then vent out the back producing thrust. Afterburners add a second combustion area near the engine outtake to heat the air even more and produce more thrust, but these are only normally used on military aircraft. Not entirely sure, but I think the turbines are generally powered by electric motors. All that said, you are correct that the vast majority of the output from the jet is hot air (much like our featured Flerf in the video).
@@simonoleary9264 thats not right at all. Yes the simplest jet engine design is a ramjet...because its an engine that is required to already be moving at supersonic speeds for the front of the engine to compress the air. It uses a very specific geometry of the engine to compress, burn, and generate thrust. All other jet engines have turbines. The turbines do not accelerate and compress the air, the turbines are behind the combustion chambers. what compresses the air is the compressors, a bunch of stages of rotating blades and non-rotating blades. you are right that a the heat of the combustion chambers heats the air, and that air is then directed into the turbines. The turbines extract energy from the high temp air in order to run the compressors (and giant fan at the front of the engine if its a turbofan engine) and then the remaining heated air is sent through the nozzle which generates the thrust. A good video that goes way more in depth for understanding is from a channel called AgentJayZ, guy has a jet engine testing and refurbishing company in canada, cool vids
He's pushing the braindead FE theory that jet engines are "fake", and that REALLY those big engines on planes don't burn fuel; They REALLY run on compressed air, doncha know!!! (A "theory" Dan's covered several times, on this channel) But Dan's just as clueless as the flerf, here; NEITHER Dan or the flatty seem to grasp that cars aren't propelled by their exhaust- So comparing a jet's wash to a car's exhaust will ALWAYS be a pointless, false comparison, in ANY context. Because for one engine (the jet), the gas being ejected is power output (with a tiny amount of exhaust mixed in, as you said), but for the other engine (the car), the ejected gas is exhaust, a waste product of combustion, 100% separate from how power is being ouput (ie, the wheels/drivetrain). Even if Dan DIDN'T understand the (idiotic) conclusion the flerf was trying to arrive at, he should grasp that in ANY context, you can't compare power output of [vehicle A] vs waste output of [vehicle B]. And that ANY comparison of the "air blasted" from the exhaust of a wheel-driven vehicle, vs the "air blasted" by a vehicle that's PROPELLED BY BLASTING AIR, is pointless nonsense.
I'm a bit of a plane spotter and I can tell you from my own experience that yes, jet engine exhaust does have a smell (it's a bit like a paraffin burner sort of smell) but the smell isn't that strong and if anybody bothers to read up on how modern aircraft engines work they will find out they are actually turbofans rather than straight up jets. This means they are so fuel efficient the amount of unburnt gases in the exhaust is minimal and therefore, not a significant risk. To be honest though, engine designers don't design them with people standing behind them in mind. They design them to deliver the maximum thrust with the maximum fuel efficiency and on that front, they do the job perfectly well.
Having spent many years working on jet aircraft without bypass I can tell you that if you are outside in winter when the jet wash hits you it is lovely and warm but stinks of oils and fuel and will soon have your eyes watering and your throat getting sore. You can't stay in it very long and have to move into fresh air.
@@martinconnelly1473 Had the same experience with the gas-turbine engines on my ship (no bypass). Standing on the upper deck while the exhaust fumes are blown across it. You smell it and you get woozy after a while (no watering of eyes or sore throat because it is mixed with outside air already) but it is pleasantly warm indeed.
Mandatory rules of photography for flerfing : 1. Camera must be Nikon P900 or P1000. 2. Under NO circumstances shall you read the instruction book, and you MUST NOT learn anything about focusing or exposure. 3. The use of tripods is strongly discouraged, however should you use one then it MUST be as light and flimsy as possible and then it's use is only permitted in windy conditions when the vibration will render video unwatchable or still images blurred beyond all recognition.
Yeah I go through existential thought processes when stoned af, but I think about how awesome the complexity of the universe and how it's insane how such beauty can occur without intent and just bask in its glory.
I don't actually think he was in the driver's seat. It looked like his bedroom and kitchen were behind him. I think the passenger seat is his lounge room.
Stoned out of his tree, glazed blood shot eyes and talking random nonsense, though the last one is probably less of a give away in his case as how can you tell the difference between regular dumb and dumb stoned thoughts
Anyone realized the seatbelt _behind_ his back? I mean, that shows basically everything I need to know about the guy, even before he starts talking. He buckled up the seatbelt, not for his own safety, but because he was inconvenienced by his car literally warning him about his stupidity! And instead of listening to someone who clearly knows more than him (even if it's just a rolling 2t toaster), he's so incredibly self absorbed to not even begin to think about why he should do something and just doesn't do it, because he doesn't like the thought of someone telling him what to do. No, he'd much rather endager everyone in that car, including himself, before listening to someone who could potentially know more than him...
He appears to be in the passenger seat, and he's not driving. The car is not moving. If I'm working on something under the dashboard and have the door open, I'll buckle the seatbelt to stop the annoying bing bing bing.
@@sophierobinson2738 firstly, the video could be mirrored with him actually being in the drivers seat, some people do that in their videos because they find it alienating viewing themselves other than normal, i.e. in the mirror. But beides that, being in the passenger seat doesn't make it any better, because in the case of an accident, you'll become a human wrecking ball potentially badly injuring or even killing someone, no matter where in the car you're seated. It's just as worse. Secondly, he's not working under the dashboard in the video and sure as hell hasn't been before, because they're standing in the middle of an open, grassy field in the middle of nowhere. The only reasonable explanation why they could have done so would be that the car stopped working, but then what? He just decided "Well, I wanted to go on a road trip with my buddy, who's sitting completely silently next to me as we're waiting for a tow truck, might as well shoot a batsh*t crazy conspiracy video while there's still time to kill" and his friend just sitting there? I would have guessed to hear at least one affirmative noise or heavy facepalm in that case... Oh and usually, the beeping or dinging doesn't start if the motor isn't running or no one is sitting in that seat... They have pressure sensors, ya know?
@@midnight8341 This is exactly correct. The front passenger seat in most modern vehicles have pressure sensors, the driver's seat for obvious reasons does not. This guy is about as smart as a rock. (Incredibly dumb beyond reasonable doubt)
I’ve done that in St Martin - can’t really taste the exhaust fumes. Was a lot of fun though - followed by a cold beer at the Driftwood bar at the side of the beach. Happy days!
As a person who loves drag racing and other forms of auto racing, I can say yes people willingly stand behind cars pumping out massive amounts of exhaust. Been doing it for decades without issue.
@@TheOz91 yuup, nitro meth, nitrous, diesel, race gas, e85, even cooking oil. I won't say I haven't lost a brain cell or two being around all those fumes but we still regularly attend and participate in these events without issue
So he’s never experienced being caught in jet engine wake, only seen a video, and decided he knows that it smelled of nothing? Trust me Mikey; they all smelled it, while simultaneously having their nostrils sand blasted.
@@LordViktorHun88 Had to go and check! lol Mikey Smith is Canadian, where they drive on the right hand side of the road. So presumably the car has a left hand drive.
@@LordViktorHun88 Watching the gravity part, it looks like he is in the US. And looking back at his car rant, the stickers on his rear window are readible. That means the camera mirrors the view, meaning he sits mirrored as well. I'm really affraid het sits behind the wheel intoxicated (red watery eyes) in an American car. 😬
Mikey says he has never personally experienced this runway takeoff but he is absolutely positive that there is no smell of exhaust. That explains his entire method of logic.
Even if the spin of Earth would cause the planes to be displaced, air shows typically happen above a designated area on the spinning Earth. The ability to fly would make staying above a specific area on the surface a non-issue. Why would the pilots just let the audience rotate away??
Yeah I hate when the pilots just fly their planes away and don't come back, especially those that are visiting from another airfield. It's like they just came over to fly around for a while and then go home or something, bastards.
Yes but flat earthers think the globe model states the earth is spinning at 1000 mph. So in their minds on a 1000 mph spinning globe, the planes would have to be flying at 1000 mph themselves to stay above a specific area on its surface.
@@theultimatereductionist7592 Don't they know there's not enough air up there for the engines to work, good job gravity stops them, otherwise the population would get reduced every time a plane takes off. Probably why Flerfs don't fly much, they're afraid of getting lost in space, even though they're already are lost in the space formerly occupied by their brain.
Two impressive things here for me; first is just how little this man has learned through life and second is the zoom to the Moon on that camera. Pity he didn’t have a tripod or there would have been truly beautiful shots in there...
I think he used a tripod but didn’t turn off the image stabilizer that played tricks on him. Also didn’t correct the exposure and switch to manual focus.. most flatearther p900 or p1000 users can’t handle their cam properly
I must say … the ability for that man to shoot some outstanding footage with his camera is just that: outstanding. Standing out from focus and view. 🤦🏻♂️ Seems his theory of spinning is best when he is either high or drunk af.
@@sophierobinson2738 He's certainly medicated in some (or many ways) his slow speech and inability to remember things makes me think it's a sedative of some sort, especially with red eyes
how is it so hard to understand everything moves with the earth? Like do they sit in a train and wonder how there is air in the train because it should all be bliwn back?
Maho Beach (Princess Juliana airport on St. Maarten) was literally my #1 bucket list item. Took myself and a few friends there to celebrate my birthday 5 years ago. No signs warn of incoming planes, all the signs in fact warn of the start-up exhaust from departing planes. And it was... fantastic (provided good grip on the fence). Stayed there four days, did not smell any exhaust, as Dan said likely due to the surrounding outside dissipating environment, but definitely felt the warmth. Still remains my favorite travel memory.
I live close to a former RAF Station, sadly now closed. The aircraft in service in the final days of the Station were Sepecat Jaguars. I regularly watched them take off. They are quite small aircraft, but the smell of aviation fuel exhaust was quite noticeable - even though I wasn’t directly behind them.
You don't smell much from a Boeing or Airbus passenger jet on take-off. You'd smell more when it is taxiing or idling on the tarmac. The fuel/air ratios are extremely well balanced to minimize pollution and odor. This is in stark contrast to military jets which are optimized for power or range and tend to de-prioritize emissions. The fuel quality is also a factor.
@@Rob2000 Yeah, the comparison I was thinking of was like how the professionals at a dentist office need to protect themselves from X-Rays because they are constantly firing them off patient after patient, day after day; but as a patient, since we're just going to be there for a few X-Ray images being taken and that's it for a year, we're going to be fine. This guy doesn't understand how things disperse and how the dosage is important.
I honestly don’t know what to say. If he had a coherent point I could say something. At least he was a man of his word and did not think too hard. Thanks Dan and keep up the good work.
You could stop the sentence after “not think”. The word “coherent” is also not needed. Please consider all the electrons forced into slavery to carry these needless words. Think of their partners waiting for them to come home and say goodnight to their children …
@@advorak8529 Indeed, both of those things are true. Somehow Dan inspires me to not be as cutting as I might otherwise. He shows even these foolish people a respect, which does him credit.
6:24 Hahaha Mike is one of those people that leaves his seatbelt plugged in and just sits in his seat so the alarm don't go off. He's very smarts.......
To be fair, I believe he's in a country with left hand drive vehicles, meaning he was sat in the passenger seat, so at least he has a vague idea of safety by not recording from the drivers seat.
@@christophfuhrich4270 nope, not possible, nobody that uses selfie mode knows how to get it into landscape, yet the video was clearly landscape. I mean I guess theoretically you could be correct, but the level of intelligence on display tells me he wouldn't know how to get into landscape mode.
He's high as a kite. He probably smoked some pot outside when this great idea hit him so he had to record it before he lost the thought, but he couldn't keep his eyes open in the bright sunlight so he had to get back into the car.
@@jollybodger Yep, there is a longer video of him driving around with another moron where he sits in the drivers seat. He seems to have some ground rules - drivers seat is for driving, passenger seat is the filmstudio.
Ah... but Dan, regarding the second part, what if a plane went north or south? Because the speed of the Earth's rotation varies as you move away or toward the equator, wouldn't that plane seem to veer left or right at some point? We should test for this and give the effect a name. Like the Coriolis effect. Or Frank.
Why does Mikey think that people on the beach aren't exposed to exhaust fumes when the jets take off? Here's a quote from someone who visited Maho Beach: "The wall of noise was followed immediately by *the stench of jet fumes* and a wave of heat that carried with it a gazillion particles of sand and other debris..." The vast majority of the jet fuel burns cleanly to produce carbon dioxide and water. The concentrations of CO2 and partially burned fuel are not high enough to cause immediate health problems, though repeated exposure would be bad in the long term. The main danger is being blown into solid objects or having solid objects hit you.
Jet engines also suck in and pass along vast amounts of air that doesn't even interact with the combustion. It's one of the reasons they keep working in heavy rain: most of the water just passes right through. At it's core, the jet engine is essentially using a propeller.
You really start to notice that 15 degree per hour drift when you're looking at something through decent magnification without an equatorial mount lol. Used to be the bane of my existence before I had an equatorial mounted telescope lol
"Did that go out of frame here already, guys?" Sounds like he... expected it to happen? But wouldn't those expectations be based on a working globe model?
As a fighter jet mechanic whom regularly uses jet exhaust as a heat source in the winter... there is a very faint smell of burning diesel. However, the exhaust at it's hottest is around 1,400 to 4,000 degrees depending on throttle position. This heat means anything leaving the jet dissipates extremely fast upwards into the atmosphere. Very little hovers around ground level.
Exhaust Gas Temperature is an important parameter. It is measured for each engine (at the tailpipe) and reported in the cockpit. If it goes out of the safe range parts of the engine can be damaged.
Flat Earth is like a roller skate. It goes around, gets worn out, only old people wear them and blueberries aren't blue. It makes no sense. Chewbacca is a wookie but he lives on endor... it makes no sense... you must equit!
I think a 747 at take-off has a bypass ratio of 8:1, meaning eight parts air and one part exhaust leave the engine. At that distance it will be even lower and about the same as waiting in traffic behind a row of cars. You see no warning there either....
I don't think he understands that the point of engines on a plane is to move air and not just to push out the exhaust of some engine which moves the wheels. Once you wonder how the little head of his works, you will develop claustrophobia.
@@DreadX10 OK, I guess horrible is not objective enough. I mean strong smell. Yea. Strong is neutral enough.That smell is horribly stong. Or strongly horrible. Pick the one you prefer.
Every amateur astronomer takes still images of space with a proper exposure and much higher resolution to get a high quality detailed image. Professional flerfers: strictly videos, full AUTO exclusively. There's also a Jackass video with jet exhaust. It's awesome 😅😅
Also the engines are high bypass turbofans, meaning 90% of the 'thrust' (and "exhaust" per se) is just plain old air accelerated by the huge bypass turbofan. (Hint is in the name "fan' rather than "jet" btw) The 'core' jet engine is rather small and compact and the exhaust from that rapidly mixes with the bypass air. "No fumes, no smell.." Yep it's clear he's never been around an actual jet engine at any time, "No exhaust" uhm, that's what that huge "wind" is there Mikey. "Just a few things to think about", Er, you first Mikey, you first :)
As usual, the Flatardian concept of "If I do not know how it works, and it does not do the things as I expect it to do, then it must be wrong". Yep, Flatardians will -never- ( always ) prove they are wrong themself.
Was just about to say the same thing. Imagine a car exhaust that is 80% air that hasn't even been in the combustion chamber (cylinders) of the engine. Furthermore those people are tens if not hundreds of metres away from the engine, to scale that to a car you'd be standing maybe as close to the exhaust as a metre. Defiantly not comfortable but not exactly imminently dangerous.
Thanks for the lesson! Im not a jet engineer but my basic understanding of how jet engines work is you have a series of fans, essentially turbos, which compress and heat up the air. That pressurized air is what is coming out as "exhaust" at idol. Nothing is being burned until the fuel is shot into the compression chamber and the superheared air is enough to ignite the fuel on its own. But at idol it is basically just compressed air coming out the back. Whereas a car using a combustion engine is far less efficient, even at idol is burning and wasting mostly fuel.
@@antman674 I'm not a jet engineer or mechanic myself but a career in the Air Force means you usually learn something anyway and it helps I'm an aviation nerd :) There are essentially three (3) types of "jet" engine all of which use a turbine (hence the 'turbo' in all the names :) ) which is fed by one or more "compressor" stages sucking in outside air and ramming it into the combustion chamber. Fuel is added and then the exhaust drives the turbine and provides some thrust. How much depends on the engine type and design but they all burn fuel even in idle and they all produce exhaust per-se. The types are: 1) The Turboprop which uses a turbine to turn a propellor which provides the majority of the thrust of the engine. 2) The Turbojet which pushes most of the air through the combustion chambers and uses the exhaust of the to both spin the turbine and provide the thrust. All early jets were of this type and this is essentially what he assumes ALL jet (turbine) engines do. And yes standing directly behind a turbojet is a bad idea, not necessarily because of the combustion emissions but the whole exhaust is quite hot. 3) Lastly there is the Turbofan which as the name implies uses the turbine to turn one or more fan 'stages' which compress and accelerate plain old air to high velocity (like the propellor in the first one) through a duct to produce about 90% of the overall thrust. This type comes in three (3) basic types unsurprising based on the amount of air that bypasses the core and turbine. Low bypass which is essentially a turbojet with a small set of fans, medium which bypasses 50% or more and high-bypass which generates the majority of the thrust with the bypass air. If you look at most modern passenger jet engines they are all high-bypass engines with very large, very fast 'fans' which is the set of blades you see from the front. If you look at the rear you'll see a very small 'core' exhaust section and this is because so much of the turbine power is going to driving the 'fan' that very little energy (thrust) is left in the actual exhaust.
For the flerfs, 5 things to think about. Cannonball run Sydney-Perth 33 hrs at 77 mph ave. Local noon Sydney 12:39 UTC+11, Perth 12:00 UTC+8 = 2:21 gap. Lat 33S = 2,042 miles for globe, 5,225 miles for flat. Road is 2,541 miles so globe. Flat Sun is 1.7 times faster in December than June. So why aren't Australian summer days very short ones? If the Sun is higher why isn't it smaller? It is supposed to shrink with distance. PERSPECTIVE? Overhead=90° 3000 miles; 1hr=75° +106 miles; 2hr=60° +358 miles; 3hr=45° +779 miles; 4hr=30° +1,757 miles; 5hr=15° +5,591 miles; 6hr=0.5° +332,188 miles; 15° of Equator = 1,627 miles. Distance to Sun from midnight UK on Equinox is 500 miles less than distance from sunset Australia. UK should have 24 hour Sun not 12 hours! Sydney Australia is 13,245 miles from the setting Sun on Dec 21 so Polaris at 8,758 miles away and 26.8 degrees above the horizon should be easily visible but it is not. I used maths!
🤔Not to mention that Sydney is over 1100km south of the Tropic of Capricorn + I live 170km South of Sydney & when I stand on the Beach facing East with a Compass the Sun Rises to my right from South East & Sets South West in December Impossible on the FE Model
I always wondered, when a flat earther stares at astronomical bodies through real telescopes and high powered cameras: what they actually believe to be happening? Like many of them claim the whole hologram thing, and many claim god, and many claim the dome. But some feel like they could be making observations of their own, despite being bafflingly wrong; and I really wonder what their conclusions, and what their perception of those observations are? Do they actually think it's a hologram even though their high powered lenses can demonstrate a fully opaque object? I really wish it was easy to pick their brains without them thinking you're accusing them.
@@davidlazarus67 CGI too, though I didn't mention this because honestly I feel as though MOST (not all) who posit the idea of CGI being involved in their reality to be trolls, or people who benefit from the "flat earth institution" as it were, or people whom are mentally ill/ill informed beyond belief; I was even reluctant to mention the holograms because grifters use that excuse to convince mentally ill people that the government wants to hide all sorts of things from them using them; from nearly any time-period.
@@D-Vinko While governments do have a tendency to hide their bad crimes, I doubt that they can hide reality from everyone. The earth is round and gravity exists and CGI is used as a teaching tool not a way to hide reality. Yes they must all be so distrustful of government to think that everything is a conspiracy. Many are probably more interested in the grift than the fact they know its false. Some like Ranty has come to realise it was a dead end. While my maths skills are not excellent I also don’t start with the handicap of believing a stupid theory such as flat earth.
@@D-Vinko half of Flatearthers seem to be religious. So a globe earth contradicts ( they think ) God so they deny it. They have to lie to themselves in order to keep their faith. Some are uneducated and spent too much time " doing their own research" some have an emotionally motivated. The flatearther called Karen i don't know her second name that appeared on a documentary only seems to believe in the flatearthe theory to hold onto the memory of her dead husband that died of cancer because he believed in it. Others don't really believe it but have made friends through flatearth and don't want to lose them. Others make money from it and the rest are just Trolls.
Great content as always. I was never really into science all that much, but after learning a lot from this channel throughout the years it’s now been one of my favorite subjects

As someone who helped organise an airshow for a classic jets museum down here in Australia, I can 100% confirm that all observations during the airshow demonstrate that the airshow doesn't move away from the planes during the day. Of course, most of the planes weren't in the air for more than 10 minutes at a time, so even if we expected some sort of drift, it would not be by much. Also, the planes are flying around the area, meaning they COME BACK to the show. Does this guy think that planes at an airshow are just balloons drifting around?! What an odd way of thinking.
@@jamescooke7243 It is sad, yeah, but I'm sure these people live in an magical world. One where gravity doesn't exist (yet the force is still there, just without a proper name), and cars are appropriate recording studios for scientific videos. ^_^

Lol, awesome comment 👏.
Some conclusions about this fellow:
1 - when he takes a train, he expects to remain in the departure station when the train gets to its destination, since "it's moving underneath the people"
2 - he has never heard of airplane engines bypass ratio (TL;DR it's how much thrust is generated by the blades, i.e. pure air in, pure air out, compared to the thrust of the turbine, which can reach up to 12:1)
3 - buoyancy is a *consequence* of gravity plus density, not a replacement for gravity; he probably doesn't know the difference between buoyancy and Beyoncé
man, don't burn him like that, he might have to get admitted
You've just made my day man! "Doesn't know the difference between buoyancy and Beyoncé" - clever as hell!
Beyonce is equipped with a two lovely buoyant buoys though. Easy to get confused.
Are you sure he does even understand the basic functions of jet engines? Much less the different types of them?
And he likes cats!
Mikey is in the right hand seat of his car, which is the safest place for him to be, and for all of us.
Look at Micky's eyes in the car. He's high as a kite. Also I was an aircraft line mechanic for 40 years. 8-10 hours a day at the airport, don't recall ever being poisoned by the engine exhaust.
Jet engines emit mostly water vapour and nitrogen oxides, whilst indirectly supplying the air cabin. A tiny amount of the exhaust is toxic.
@@Julmaa87 not really, but your point still stands
@@soffici1 Not really what?
Hahaha. Yep. That was my thought too. What we really witnessed in the car there was a bit of cannabis induced "wizdom', where a high individual gets SUPER impressed by their own thoughts.
If he comes into NYC I guess he has never been caught behind a NYC bus in a traffic jam. I do not know of any person that died from that either.
Mikey looks High AF while he is sitting in his car, I am surprised he cant see the curve of the earth from how high he is!!

Nah bro thats just the chlorine irritation from swimming in the pool too much.

Dan, I don't know why you are so dismissive. The bloke has a valid point. I just started my car and the exhaust knocked 3 people over who were walking past my drive. After much deliberation I bent my exhaust pipe down and tried again. I instantly moved upwards and crashed through my bedroom window.

"Thanks, Bob," has become a running joke in our household. If someone says something obvious, instead of "ya think?" or "no s, Sherlock" it's "hey, thanks, Bob."

The first part was pretty good. He showed that Earth rotates, that both the moon and Venus have phases, that they are both lit by the sun (which is in the same direction for both), and that Venus was toward the far side of its orbit (which is why the lit area appeared so large) while the moon is much closer to us. A nice bit of amateur astronomy.

One time I was flying in an airplane, and I had a ball in my hand, and when I tossed it in the air, it flew backward at over 500 miles per hour, crushing my skull, because conservation of momentum isn't a thing. Took a while to recover from that.
I did not know trolls could fly, I know they can throw a ball....
I’m late to the party. This comment made me cry laughing. You are the best
Even if the airplanes weren't spinning along with the earth, you'd think that the pilots would make sure the show stays overhead of the visitors and doesn't randomly end up somewhere else. An airshow is performed by pilots, it's not a random atmospherical effect xD
Exactly. One of the very first things a pilot does for a show in a new city is fly to landmarks to familiarize themselves with them. Sometimes for an hour or so before even landing in the city. Things like hills, large unmistakable buildings, train tracks, the edge of lakes, etc. become an important part of the show, even though they can be thirty miles away from the airport or main show center. (this mostly applies to high speed demonstrations like Blue Angels, RAF etc.)
They aren't just aimlessly looping around with their eyes closed all day regardless of wind speed or where the ground is. HAHA
It's almost like Mikey has no idea what he's talking about and should probably be sober before hitting the upload button.
That's a thought! Who is going to take an afternoon off, to patiently explain it to Mikey?
@@rocketrabble6737 Right? And his second airplane thing, he's like "Oh a runway next to a beach, that's such a bad idea within 'science', so science must be wrong"
I'm like: No, it's just a bad idea. Look at these people flying around xD
Many flat earthers think the ground is literally rotating beneath them at 1000 mph. They do not know the difference between linear velocity and angular velocity. So basically they think airplanes at an airshow would need to be able to fly at 1000 mph just to stay overhead the audience.

Who else was waiting keenly for the "15 deg per hour" when Venus was drifting out of shot? We weren't disappointed!! Thanks Bob!
"Thanks Bob!" never gets old.
I bought a cheap Chinese telescope, it was a 10" reflector. (about £400) It came with absolutely no electronics. For an extra £100 I bought what I believe is called the "clockwork". This is just a battery pack and two electric motors. That enables you to track a celestial object.
The eyepieces were of low quality but I managed to see the stripes on Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, the moons of Mars and many times the Moon.
Viewing the terminator on Moon is very interesting because you can see the shadows cast by mountains and the rims of craters. Proving that the Moon is not self-illuminating.
So for £100 I was able to correct for our 15° per hour rotation (Thanks Bob!) and keep an object in the center of my field of view.
That "Thanks Bob" joke will never grow old! Dan, keep up the good work, demolishing dumb flerfs.

That's really cool mate. I'd like to get a telescope again one day.

That way I could view the sun safely, see the sunspots and follow the suns rotation over time. I was so into it and I spent a lot of time with my head buried in science and Astronomy books. So yeah, you've reminded me to get back into it.

The biggest danger with jet efflux is the force of it however, secondary to the temperature.

Most of the jet engines thrust comes from bypass air. The core of the engine where the fuel is burned produces just 20% of the thrust, but is responsible for driving the fan that produces the bypass air.
On top of that, most of the air going through the core is for cooling, not for combustion. In the region of another 20% is only used for combustion.
Turbofan not strictly jet.
Oh yes of course. Thanks
Depends on the bypass ratio. The first jet engines, such as the first axial turbojets, had 0% bypass ratios.
Now that shit's fascinating
Out of all the characters the flat earth community has produced, I have to say I quite like Mikey! More of a sweet and misguided flerf rather than some of the more aggressive and obnoxious ones that chuck out awful insults to anybody they disagree with.

“Don’t get it. I really don’t get it.”
The only thing he was right about. He genuinely doesn’t understand that an aircraft engine isn’t a rocket engine. It’s not blasting fuel and exhaust out behind. The purpose of the fuel in the engine is to spin an enormous turbine. That then blows air out the back. Just air. There MIGHT be some exhaust gasses mixed in but I honestly don’t think there’s be much.
Yeah... from what I understand of the average turbine engine design, the engine itself is a small bit in the middle, spinning the blades around it. It does vent the fumes into the air being pushed through the turbine, but it's a small percentage of the gasses that're being shoved through.
And I'm guessing this guy has never actually stood on a runway at an airport. You can quite clearly smell jet fuel fumes.
Maybe he thinks modern airplanes fly with ramjet engines? Or scramjet engines?
Hi,
Based on my limited understanding, that's not quite how a jet engine works, after all the most basic form of jet is a RamJet, which has no turbines at all, just a combustion area.
The turbines accelerate and compress the air into a combustion area. A small amount of fuel is sprayed into the compressed air and then ignited.
The heat from the combustion causes the air and combustion gases to expand, which then vent out the back producing thrust.
Afterburners add a second combustion area near the engine outtake to heat the air even more and produce more thrust, but these are only normally used on military aircraft.
Not entirely sure, but I think the turbines are generally powered by electric motors.
All that said, you are correct that the vast majority of the output from the jet is hot air (much like our featured Flerf in the video).
@@simonoleary9264 thats not right at all. Yes the simplest jet engine design is a ramjet...because its an engine that is required to already be moving at supersonic speeds for the front of the engine to compress the air. It uses a very specific geometry of the engine to compress, burn, and generate thrust. All other jet engines have turbines.
The turbines do not accelerate and compress the air, the turbines are behind the combustion chambers. what compresses the air is the compressors, a bunch of stages of rotating blades and non-rotating blades.
you are right that a the heat of the combustion chambers heats the air, and that air is then directed into the turbines. The turbines extract energy from the high temp air in order to run the compressors (and giant fan at the front of the engine if its a turbofan engine) and then the remaining heated air is sent through the nozzle which generates the thrust.
A good video that goes way more in depth for understanding is from a channel called AgentJayZ, guy has a jet engine testing and refurbishing company in canada, cool vids
He's pushing the braindead FE theory that jet engines are "fake", and that REALLY those big engines on planes don't burn fuel; They REALLY run on compressed air, doncha know!!! (A "theory" Dan's covered several times, on this channel) But Dan's just as clueless as the flerf, here; NEITHER Dan or the flatty seem to grasp that cars aren't propelled by their exhaust- So comparing a jet's wash to a car's exhaust will ALWAYS be a pointless, false comparison, in ANY context.
Because for one engine (the jet), the gas being ejected is power output (with a tiny amount of exhaust mixed in, as you said), but for the other engine (the car), the ejected gas is exhaust, a waste product of combustion, 100% separate from how power is being ouput (ie, the wheels/drivetrain).
Even if Dan DIDN'T understand the (idiotic) conclusion the flerf was trying to arrive at, he should grasp that in ANY context, you can't compare power output of [vehicle A] vs waste output of [vehicle B]. And that ANY comparison of the "air blasted" from the exhaust of a wheel-driven vehicle, vs the "air blasted" by a vehicle that's PROPELLED BY BLASTING AIR, is pointless nonsense.
I'm a bit of a plane spotter and I can tell you from my own experience that yes, jet engine exhaust does have a smell (it's a bit like a paraffin burner sort of smell) but the smell isn't that strong and if anybody bothers to read up on how modern aircraft engines work they will find out they are actually turbofans rather than straight up jets. This means they are so fuel efficient the amount of unburnt gases in the exhaust is minimal and therefore, not a significant risk. To be honest though, engine designers don't design them with people standing behind them in mind. They design them to deliver the maximum thrust with the maximum fuel efficiency and on that front, they do the job perfectly well.
Having spent many years working on jet aircraft without bypass I can tell you that if you are outside in winter when the jet wash hits you it is lovely and warm but stinks of oils and fuel and will soon have your eyes watering and your throat getting sore. You can't stay in it very long and have to move into fresh air.
"I think we should plug up the back of the plane engines, so people will be safe" - Mikey, probably
@@martinconnelly1473 Had the same experience with the gas-turbine engines on my ship (no bypass). Standing on the upper deck while the exhaust fumes are blown across it. You smell it and you get woozy after a while (no watering of eyes or sore throat because it is mixed with outside air already) but it is pleasantly warm indeed.
And not to forget that modern jets have bypass-ratios often > 10. So even standing directly behind the jet is like 90% clean air.
Also there are warning signs not to stand there but people ignore them
Buys a camera. Doesn't know how to use it. Therefore the earth is flat and space is fake.

1. Camera must be Nikon P900 or P1000.
2. Under NO circumstances shall you read the instruction book, and you MUST NOT learn anything about focusing or exposure.
3. The use of tripods is strongly discouraged, however should you use one then it MUST be as light and flimsy as possible and then it's use is only permitted in windy conditions when the vibration will render video unwatchable or still images blurred beyond all recognition.

Stoned out of his tree, glazed blood shot eyes and talking random nonsense, though the last one is probably less of a give away in his case as how can you tell the difference between regular dumb and dumb stoned thoughts
Also driving while on drugs, pretty sure that's illegal.
Anyone realized the seatbelt _behind_ his back? I mean, that shows basically everything I need to know about the guy, even before he starts talking.
He buckled up the seatbelt, not for his own safety, but because he was inconvenienced by his car literally warning him about his stupidity! And instead of listening to someone who clearly knows more than him (even if it's just a rolling 2t toaster), he's so incredibly self absorbed to not even begin to think about why he should do something and just doesn't do it, because he doesn't like the thought of someone telling him what to do.
No, he'd much rather endager everyone in that car, including himself, before listening to someone who could potentially know more than him...
He appears to be in the passenger seat, and he's not driving. The car is not moving. If I'm working on something under the dashboard and have the door open, I'll buckle the seatbelt to stop the annoying bing bing bing.
One day, he’ll remove himself from the gene pool due to his stupidity and arrogance.

But beides that, being in the passenger seat doesn't make it any better, because in the case of an accident, you'll become a human wrecking ball potentially badly injuring or even killing someone, no matter where in the car you're seated. It's just as worse.
Secondly, he's not working under the dashboard in the video and sure as hell hasn't been before, because they're standing in the middle of an open, grassy field in the middle of nowhere. The only reasonable explanation why they could have done so would be that the car stopped working, but then what? He just decided "Well, I wanted to go on a road trip with my buddy, who's sitting completely silently next to me as we're waiting for a tow truck, might as well shoot a batsh*t crazy conspiracy video while there's still time to kill" and his friend just sitting there? I would have guessed to hear at least one affirmative noise or heavy facepalm in that case...
Oh and usually, the beeping or dinging doesn't start if the motor isn't running or no one is sitting in that seat... They have pressure sensors, ya know?
@@midnight8341 This is exactly correct. The front passenger seat in most modern vehicles have pressure sensors, the driver's seat for obvious reasons does not.
This guy is about as smart as a rock. (Incredibly dumb beyond reasonable doubt)
I’ve done that in St Martin - can’t really taste the exhaust fumes. Was a lot of fun though - followed by a cold beer at the Driftwood bar at the side of the beach. Happy days!
If he started talking about moonshine, I'd probably believe him then.
As a person who loves drag racing and other forms of auto racing, I can say yes people willingly stand behind cars pumping out massive amounts of exhaust. Been doing it for decades without issue.
And if the cars use alcohol fuel, there would be that sweet smell in the air
@@TheOz91 yuup, nitro meth, nitrous, diesel, race gas, e85, even cooking oil. I won't say I haven't lost a brain cell or two being around all those fumes but we still regularly attend and participate in these events without issue

Methinks every time Mikey jumps on a trampoline it's never where he left it.
So he’s never experienced being caught in jet engine wake, only seen a video, and decided he knows that it smelled of nothing?
Trust me Mikey; they all smelled it, while simultaneously having their nostrils sand blasted.
i had 10 beers last night and still looked less intoxicated than him
Good to see Mikey is in the passenger seat while being intoxicated.
Great crazy drunk dude routine!
This was absolute gold. When he said "sucking in all those fumes" with a massive grin on his face. I think we all know what he's been up to.
Sadly I think it is more possible that he is British, and his wheel is on the right side.
@@LordViktorHun88
Had to go and check! lol
Mikey Smith is Canadian, where they drive on the right hand side of the road.
So presumably the car has a left hand drive.
He appears to be sitting on his seat belt,
@@LordViktorHun88 Watching the gravity part, it looks like he is in the US. And looking back at his car rant, the stickers on his rear window are readible. That means the camera mirrors the view, meaning he sits mirrored as well. I'm really affraid het sits behind the wheel intoxicated (red watery eyes) in an American car. 😬
Mikey says he has never personally experienced this runway takeoff but he is absolutely positive that there is no smell of exhaust. That explains his entire method of logic.
Even if the spin of Earth would cause the planes to be displaced, air shows typically happen above a designated area on the spinning Earth. The ability to fly would make staying above a specific area on the surface a non-issue.
Why would the pilots just let the audience rotate away??
Yeah I hate when the pilots just fly their planes away and don't come back, especially those that are visiting from another airfield. It's like they just came over to fly around for a while and then go home or something, bastards.
Yes but flat earthers think the globe model states the earth is spinning at 1000 mph. So in their minds on a 1000 mph spinning globe, the planes would have to be flying at 1000 mph themselves to stay above a specific area on its surface.
Damn pilots flying off into space at tangent to earth! :)
@@theultimatereductionist7592 Don't they know there's not enough air up there for the engines to work, good job gravity stops them, otherwise the population would get reduced every time a plane takes off. Probably why Flerfs don't fly much, they're afraid of getting lost in space, even though they're already are lost in the space formerly occupied by their brain.
"We've gone out of frame here" "Yeah, that happens a lot when you're rotating" Haha, pure dry wit :D
Two impressive things here for me; first is just how little this man has learned through life and second is the zoom to the Moon on that camera. Pity he didn’t have a tripod or there would have been truly beautiful shots in there...
I think he used a tripod but didn’t turn off the image stabilizer that played tricks on him. Also didn’t correct the exposure and switch to manual focus.. most flatearther p900 or p1000 users can’t handle their cam properly
I'm sure he had tripod. It's not easy to keep the moon still with 5x magnification. This was much more than 5x. My guess would be around 100x.
Aw c'mon you didn't find his long well taken care of nails impressive? /s
It was mounted. Otherwise the objects would not have drifted.
FYI, Movie Vertigo has a great how-to video for getting Venus or other planets in focus using cameras like the P900/1k.
After listening to Mikey I'm reminded of what Blue Marble Science frequently says. "How stupid can you be?" is a question not a challenge.
I must say … the ability for that man to shoot some outstanding footage with his camera is just that: outstanding. Standing out from focus and view. 🤦🏻♂️
Seems his theory of spinning is best when he is either high or drunk af.
I'm glad he recorded it on his Nokia 3210.
It's also clear he has taken full advantage of the legalisation of medical marijuana.

how is it so hard to understand everything moves with the earth? Like do they sit in a train and wonder how there is air in the train because it should all be bliwn back?
“I really don’t get it!”
Truer words have never before been spoken by a Flerf.
Maho Beach (Princess Juliana airport on St. Maarten) was literally my #1 bucket list item. Took myself and a few friends there to celebrate my birthday 5 years ago. No signs warn of incoming planes, all the signs in fact warn of the start-up exhaust from departing planes. And it was... fantastic (provided good grip on the fence). Stayed there four days, did not smell any exhaust, as Dan said likely due to the surrounding outside dissipating environment, but definitely felt the warmth. Still remains my favorite travel memory.
That's definitely something I'd love to do. But add an amateur wing suit and get yeeted into the ocean
I live close to a former RAF Station, sadly now closed. The aircraft in service in the final days of the Station were Sepecat Jaguars. I regularly watched them take off. They are quite small aircraft, but the smell of aviation fuel exhaust was quite noticeable - even though I wasn’t directly behind them.
You don't smell much from a Boeing or Airbus passenger jet on take-off. You'd smell more when it is taxiing or idling on the tarmac. The fuel/air ratios are extremely well balanced to minimize pollution and odor. This is in stark contrast to military jets which are optimized for power or range and tend to de-prioritize emissions. The fuel quality is also a factor.
You smell a little fuel, but it is gone in a few seconds. I don't get his point. You're not in the fumes for minutes. It's (much) more air then fumes.
@@Rob2000 Yeah, the comparison I was thinking of was like how the professionals at a dentist office need to protect themselves from X-Rays because they are constantly firing them off patient after patient, day after day; but as a patient, since we're just going to be there for a few X-Ray images being taken and that's it for a year, we're going to be fine.
This guy doesn't understand how things disperse and how the dosage is important.
I honestly don’t know what to say. If he had a coherent point I could say something. At least he was a man of his word and did not think too hard. Thanks Dan and keep up the good work.
You could stop the sentence after “not think”.
The word “coherent” is also not needed.
Please consider all the electrons forced into slavery to carry these needless words. Think of their partners waiting for them to come home and say goodnight to their children …
@@advorak8529 Indeed, both of those things are true. Somehow Dan inspires me to not be as cutting as I might otherwise. He shows even these foolish people a respect, which does him credit.
Give that man a freaking telescope!!! His camera is shaking so much I’m getting motion sickness. You get better results when you use the proper tools.
6:24 Hahaha Mike is one of those people that leaves his seatbelt plugged in and just sits in his seat so the alarm don't go off. He's very smarts.......
To be fair, I believe he's in a country with left hand drive vehicles, meaning he was sat in the passenger seat, so at least he has a vague idea of safety by not recording from the drivers seat.
It could be that the cam is in selfiemode which changes left to right, that could also be possible.
@@christophfuhrich4270 nope, not possible, nobody that uses selfie mode knows how to get it into landscape, yet the video was clearly landscape.
I mean I guess theoretically you could be correct, but the level of intelligence on display tells me he wouldn't know how to get into landscape mode.
He's high as a kite. He probably smoked some pot outside when this great idea hit him so he had to record it before he lost the thought, but he couldn't keep his eyes open in the bright sunlight so he had to get back into the car.
@@jollybodger Yep, there is a longer video of him driving around with another moron where he sits in the drivers seat. He seems to have some ground rules - drivers seat is for driving, passenger seat is the filmstudio.
'Tis the season for Mikey to hop on the Xmas sleigh and try slay some more established facts!
Ah... but Dan, regarding the second part, what if a plane went north or south? Because the speed of the Earth's rotation varies as you move away or toward the equator, wouldn't that plane seem to veer left or right at some point? We should test for this and give the effect a name. Like the Coriolis effect. Or Frank.
Don Cornelius effect
I see what you did there J.W.!!! I like your humor👍🏻
Please do some more science !
Frank Coriolis.
I think we should go with Ted. Or Bill
Actually.... as I have been at that beech, you can smell the exhaust.
Why does Mikey think that people on the beach aren't exposed to exhaust fumes when the jets take off? Here's a quote from someone who visited Maho Beach:
"The wall of noise was followed immediately by *the stench of jet fumes* and a wave of heat that carried with it a gazillion particles of sand and other debris..."
The vast majority of the jet fuel burns cleanly to produce carbon dioxide and water. The concentrations of CO2 and partially burned fuel are not high enough to cause immediate health problems, though repeated exposure would be bad in the long term. The main danger is being blown into solid objects or having solid objects hit you.
Jet engines also suck in and pass along vast amounts of air that doesn't even interact with the combustion. It's one of the reasons they keep working in heavy rain: most of the water just passes right through.
At it's core, the jet engine is essentially using a propeller.
I dont think I’ve laughed this hard at the 15 degree per hour joke in a while LMAO this was beautiful
Thank you Bob
You really start to notice that 15 degree per hour drift when you're looking at something through decent magnification without an equatorial mount lol. Used to be the bane of my existence before I had an equatorial mounted telescope lol
"Did that go out of frame here already, guys?"
Sounds like he... expected it to happen? But wouldn't those expectations be based on a working globe model?
Could also justify the good old "church model" of the stars rotating around us...
At 7:05 his eyes, he is so stoned, he must have stolen snoop dogs entire stash!
As a fighter jet mechanic whom regularly uses jet exhaust as a heat source in the winter... there is a very faint smell of burning diesel. However, the exhaust at it's hottest is around 1,400 to 4,000 degrees depending on throttle position. This heat means anything leaving the jet dissipates extremely fast upwards into the atmosphere. Very little hovers around ground level.
Exhaust Gas Temperature is an important parameter. It is measured for each engine (at the tailpipe) and reported in the cockpit. If it goes out of the safe range parts of the engine can be damaged.
I don't envy your job. How many pilots did you have to go rescue because they kept flying off into space at a tangent to earth's surface? :)
@@jwaustinmunguy And the upper limit is circa 800C (1500F).

I bet Mikey was listening to his cousin’s Phil old song “The land of confusion” while he was making his video. 😂
Some people were dropped on their heads when they were a baby.
Mikey was clearly thrown at a wall at a rate of 1000 miles per hour.
He got a beautiful picture of the Moon. As solid and as spherical an object as anyone could hope to see in the night sky.
I think a 747 at take-off has a bypass ratio of 8:1, meaning eight parts air and one part exhaust leave the engine. At that distance it will be even lower and about the same as waiting in traffic behind a row of cars. You see no warning there either....
I don't think he understands that the point of engines on a plane is to move air and not just to push out the exhaust of some engine which moves the wheels.
Once you wonder how the little head of his works, you will develop claustrophobia.
And anyone who has ever been to an airport knows that horrible kerozene's fumes smell.
@@srfrg9707 Horrible? No, I like the smell (but wouldn't have it as an aftershave).

Every amateur astronomer takes still images of space with a proper exposure and much higher resolution to get a high quality detailed image. Professional flerfers: strictly videos, full AUTO exclusively.
There's also a Jackass video with jet exhaust. It's awesome 😅😅
He hit the nail on the head with this one. Speaking of nails, someone get this chap some nail clippers 😖
I just love how you threw in the earth rotation in there when Venus went out of this view. Spot on!
Also the engines are high bypass turbofans, meaning 90% of the 'thrust' (and "exhaust" per se) is just plain old air accelerated by the huge bypass turbofan. (Hint is in the name "fan' rather than "jet" btw) The 'core' jet engine is rather small and compact and the exhaust from that rapidly mixes with the bypass air. "No fumes, no smell.." Yep it's clear he's never been around an actual jet engine at any time, "No exhaust" uhm, that's what that huge "wind" is there Mikey. "Just a few things to think about", Er, you first Mikey, you first :)
Was thinking the exact same thing.
As usual, the Flatardian concept of "If I do not know how it works, and it does not do the things as I expect it to do, then it must be wrong". Yep, Flatardians will -never- ( always ) prove they are wrong themself.
Was just about to say the same thing. Imagine a car exhaust that is 80% air that hasn't even been in the combustion chamber (cylinders) of the engine.
Furthermore those people are tens if not hundreds of metres away from the engine, to scale that to a car you'd be standing maybe as close to the exhaust as a metre. Defiantly not comfortable but not exactly imminently dangerous.
Thanks for the lesson! Im not a jet engineer but my basic understanding of how jet engines work is you have a series of fans, essentially turbos, which compress and heat up the air. That pressurized air is what is coming out as "exhaust" at idol. Nothing is being burned until the fuel is shot into the compression chamber and the superheared air is enough to ignite the fuel on its own. But at idol it is basically just compressed air coming out the back. Whereas a car using a combustion engine is far less efficient, even at idol is burning and wasting mostly fuel.
@@antman674 I'm not a jet engineer or mechanic myself but a career in the Air Force means you usually learn something anyway and it helps I'm an aviation nerd :)
There are essentially three (3) types of "jet" engine all of which use a turbine (hence the 'turbo' in all the names :) ) which is fed by one or more "compressor" stages sucking in outside air and ramming it into the combustion chamber. Fuel is added and then the exhaust drives the turbine and provides some thrust. How much depends on the engine type and design but they all burn fuel even in idle and they all produce exhaust per-se. The types are:
1) The Turboprop which uses a turbine to turn a propellor which provides the majority of the thrust of the engine.
2) The Turbojet which pushes most of the air through the combustion chambers and uses the exhaust of the to both spin the turbine and provide the thrust. All early jets were of this type and this is essentially what he assumes ALL jet (turbine) engines do. And yes standing directly behind a turbojet is a bad idea, not necessarily because of the combustion emissions but the whole exhaust is quite hot.
3) Lastly there is the Turbofan which as the name implies uses the turbine to turn one or more fan 'stages' which compress and accelerate plain old air to high velocity (like the propellor in the first one) through a duct to produce about 90% of the overall thrust. This type comes in three (3) basic types unsurprising based on the amount of air that bypasses the core and turbine. Low bypass which is essentially a turbojet with a small set of fans, medium which bypasses 50% or more and high-bypass which generates the majority of the thrust with the bypass air.
If you look at most modern passenger jet engines they are all high-bypass engines with very large, very fast 'fans' which is the set of blades you see from the front. If you look at the rear you'll see a very small 'core' exhaust section and this is because so much of the turbine power is going to driving the 'fan' that very little energy (thrust) is left in the actual exhaust.
For the flerfs, 5 things to think about.

I always wondered, when a flat earther stares at astronomical bodies through real telescopes and high powered cameras: what they actually believe to be happening?
Like many of them claim the whole hologram thing, and many claim god, and many claim the dome. But some feel like they could be making observations of their own, despite being bafflingly wrong; and I really wonder what their conclusions, and what their perception of those observations are? Do they actually think it's a hologram even though their high powered lenses can demonstrate a fully opaque object? I really wish it was easy to pick their brains without them thinking you're accusing them.
Also where does CGI fit in? I thought it was all CGI. Getting a telescope with secret CGI projection is a win yet none have found one.
@@davidlazarus67 CGI too, though I didn't mention this because honestly I feel as though MOST (not all) who posit the idea of CGI being involved in their reality to be trolls, or people who benefit from the "flat earth institution" as it were, or people whom are mentally ill/ill informed beyond belief; I was even reluctant to mention the holograms because grifters use that excuse to convince mentally ill people that the government wants to hide all sorts of things from them using them; from nearly any time-period.
They say that they are just random "lights in the sky" They also say they have no idea what they are.
@@D-Vinko While governments do have a tendency to hide their bad crimes, I doubt that they can hide reality from everyone. The earth is round and gravity exists and CGI is used as a teaching tool not a way to hide reality. Yes they must all be so distrustful of government to think that everything is a conspiracy.
Many are probably more interested in the grift than the fact they know its false. Some like Ranty has come to realise it was a dead end. While my maths skills are not excellent I also don’t start with the handicap of believing a stupid theory such as flat earth.
@@D-Vinko half of Flatearthers seem to be religious. So a globe earth contradicts ( they think ) God so they deny it. They have to lie to themselves in order to keep their faith.

As someone who helped organise an airshow for a classic jets museum down here in Australia, I can 100% confirm that all observations during the airshow demonstrate that the airshow doesn't move away from the planes during the day. Of course, most of the planes weren't in the air for more than 10 minutes at a time, so even if we expected some sort of drift, it would not be by much. Also, the planes are flying around the area, meaning they COME BACK to the show.
Does this guy think that planes at an airshow are just balloons drifting around?! What an odd way of thinking.
