What's inside a Black Box? - YouTube
Channel: What's Inside?
[0]
- Are you guys ready for
this watermelon experiment?
[3]
(laughs)
[4]
(whirring helicopter blades)
[10]
- Welcome back to What's Inside.
[12]
I'm Lincoln, this is Dan,
[13]
and today we have a black box.
[15]
- Black box, but it's red.
[17]
- What?
[18]
- I know, that's kind of weird, right?
[19]
They changed them to red
or orange a while back
[22]
because when the plane crashes
[24]
and you need to find this
thing, it's hard to find.
[26]
We are about to go out
into the middle of nowhere
[30]
and test this thing out and see
[31]
how durable and how strong it really is.
[33]
- You ready for the adventure?
[35]
Here we go!
[36]
(yelling)
[37]
(jet engine roaring)
[39]
- Oh, there it goes.
[40]
(helicopter revving)
[45]
(relaxed music)
[46]
- This is it guys, this is what we do.
[48]
Let's go blow past all
these jets, shall we?
[51]
(Lincoln laughs)
[53]
- Whoa.
[61]
- We wanted to come out
here with our buddy York.
[64]
He has a YouTube channel,
and he's on Instagram
[66]
at @iFlyHeli.
[67]
We have a couple of things here.
[69]
First, we have this that
we're going to drop off from,
[72]
I don't even know how many feet yet,
[74]
so I guess we'll have to decide that,
[75]
but we're going to drop this out.
[76]
We also have this guy.
[78]
This is a watermelon with a GoPro on it,
[81]
that York's son put together last night.
[84]
He said, is it okay if we bring this
[85]
out here and drop it--
[86]
- Absolutely.
[87]
- And I said why wouldn't
we do that, that's amazing!
[89]
(laughing)
[90]
- You can see all these lava
flows going on out here,
[92]
and from this altitude it looks
[93]
like it's, oh, maybe
manageable to walk across.
[96]
When we get down low, it's just jagged
[99]
and sharp and you're going nowhere.
[101]
- We've just landed, in
a helicopter, on Mars.
[105]
- On this little platform, I
don't know how we landed on it.
[108]
- Guys, check this out,
zoom in on this guy.
[109]
107 degrees.
[112]
- York found us an actual
jet that had crashed.
[116]
- This is a whole, it looks like a shock.
[117]
- What is that?
[118]
- It's the landing gear from the plane.
[120]
There's debris scattered throughout
[122]
this whole stretch of this rocky land.
[125]
That is so heavy.
[125]
- Is it pretty heavy?
[126]
(clanking metal)
[127]
(laughs)
[128]
- Here's the biggest chunk of the plane
[130]
that we found that's
not part of the engine,
[132]
and look at this logo on it.
[134]
It's the old U.S. white star, blue circle
[137]
around it, the red stripe on it.
[140]
For those of you that don't know,
[141]
a black box is a flight data recorder.
[144]
It measures and tracks the audio,
[147]
where the plane is going,
what the pilots are saying,
[151]
and everything so that
when a plane does crash
[152]
they can take a look at all of the data
[153]
and find out what actually happened.
[156]
The boxes have to be very, very strong
[158]
because, look at this
wreckage, this is an engine.
[161]
- It's destroyed.
[163]
- We are going to go in the helicopter
[164]
and fly up in the air and throw it
[167]
out of the helicopter onto
this hard lava ground--
[171]
- So hard.
[172]
- And see if it even busts open.
[173]
(sparse music)
[178]
- Here we go.
[178]
- Experiment in the lava
fields is about to commence.
[183]
(Lincoln singing)
[189]
- See we put a little yellow clock
[191]
down there so we can see our target
[193]
because it'd be probably easy to miss it.
[195]
(whirring helicopter blades)
[200]
(yelling)
[203]
(helicopter whirring)
[212]
Are you guys ready for
this watermelon experiment?
[215]
(laughs)
[218]
All right, watermelon time.
[220]
(wind rushing)
[223]
(watermelon splatting on rocks)
[225]
(helicopter blades whirring)
[226]
(happy music)
[250]
Okay, so look at that watermelon.
[253]
Here's the--
[254]
Oh my goodness, this got demolished.
[256]
There's the base for it.
[257]
I see part of the case.
[260]
Listen for the beeping.
[263]
Where is it?
[263]
Oh there it is!
[264]
There it is, Lincoln.
[266]
I pushed the button and it just says zero.
[268]
(laughing)
[269]
Whatever that means.
[270]
What's your son's name?
[271]
- Emerson.
[272]
- Emerson, Emerson, I don't
know if your session survived,
[276]
but it was the perfect thing,
[278]
it hit right there on the target.
[280]
Well, close to it, come on.
[282]
All right, who's going
to take a bite of this?
[283]
York's going for it (laughing).
[287]
- It's actually really good, you guys.
[289]
- Lincoln, have a bite buddy.
[292]
- It is so hot out here. It's nice.
[293]
- 108 degrees.
[294]
- Oh, I'm dehydrated.
[295]
- Don't eat the part with mud on it.
[296]
Yeah, there you go.
[300]
Here it is.
[301]
- Aah!
[302]
- This thing was 500 feet in the air
[303]
and we dropped it on this hard lava rock
[306]
and there's not one indention at all,
[308]
it just scratched the paint.
[309]
I was terrified as I threw that thing out.
[311]
When I threw this out,
I got about this far
[313]
and I started coming back.
[314]
(laughs) So wimpy, but--
[316]
Let's get back to civilization
[317]
and get a saw and see if
we can cut this thing open.
[319]
- Let's see if we can, because
[320]
I don't know if that's possible.
[323]
(relaxed happy music)
[332]
- We have the flight recorder
right there, there's a saw.
[337]
- It's all beat up though.
[337]
- It is beat up, but
we're at York's house.
[340]
We're going to see if we
can cut this thing open
[341]
with this chopsaw, he was
nice enough to give it to us.
[344]
But check out his garage, he's
got quite the setup in here.
[347]
- See look, one-wheels.
[348]
- One-wheels, Sean Nuris, you'd love that.
[350]
- I don't have a lot
of confidence in this,
[352]
but you know, we'll see.
[354]
- All right, let's see if this
will make any progress on it.
[358]
(saw grinding)
[359]
(electronic music)
[366]
Smells like a sparkler.
[368]
- Will you put a little hole
[369]
in the top too before you pour it in?
[370]
- [Lincoln] Whoa.
[371]
- [Dan] Fancy.
[374]
Look how deep the cut is.
[376]
Are you surprised, York?
[377]
- [York] Yeah, I'm
actually kind of impressed.
[379]
(saw buzzing)
[384]
- [Dan] See how far that goes in?
[386]
That's just all metal.
[387]
- [Lincoln] So much metal.
[388]
- [Dan] Okay, well, let's keep on going.
[390]
(saw buzzing)
[397]
- [York] Spicy.
[398]
- [Dan] Yeah, we're--
[399]
(steam hissing)
[400]
- [Lincoln] Whoa!
[401]
- [Dan] Wow, we're in it pretty good.
[403]
- [Lincoln] That was actually--
[404]
- [Dan] Still looks like
it's straight metal though!
[406]
There's a little, it looks
like a golf ball core.
[408]
- [York] Oh yeah.
[409]
- [Dan] There's a little
green core inside.
[410]
(saw buzzing)
[415]
We have cut around the entire thing
[420]
except for that little corner,
[422]
that little part, it's about an inch left.
[423]
This is impressive, we're making it.
[425]
(saw buzzing)
[430]
(driving electronic music)
[431]
Oh, I think we got it!
[432]
Check this out.
[433]
- What!
[434]
- Flight recorder, do not open.
[437]
(laughs)
[438]
- Uh-oh.
[439]
- So what do we do?
[440]
We cut the thing in half.
[440]
- (laughs) And we opened it.
[442]
- This is the outer layer
of thick, thick metal,
[444]
and then this is kind of a hard,
[446]
hard putty, clay-type stuff.
[449]
This one's a lot softer.
[450]
Well, whenever you see a plane crash,
[452]
there's a couple things they look for.
[453]
They want to know what
was the flight path,
[456]
how fast was it going,
what different sensors
[459]
were going off, and by storing it all
[461]
on these flight data recorders,
[463]
they're able to pull all that data off
[464]
and they can put it into
the computer system and then
[466]
really just show exactly
what happened at the flight.
[469]
Screwdriver, hammer, let's get
this green goo out of there.
[472]
Look at this.
[473]
See even...oh, look at that.
[475]
- [Lincoln] Whoa.
[476]
(hammer thudding)
[481]
- [Dan] There's a good
chance that this is part
[484]
cushioning to keep the
chip from getting damaged
[486]
from the fall, and then also part
[490]
just insulation for heat
and cooling purposes.
[492]
(hammer thuds)
[495]
(metallic popping)
[497]
Boom.
[499]
- [Lincoln] Oh, you got it.
[500]
- [Dan] Wow, all of that space.
[502]
Look how much of the space in there.
[504]
- [Lincoln] There's the chip,
it looks like any ordinary
[506]
chip like you'd find in
a TV or things like that.
[508]
- [Dan] Well this is half
of it, and that's it.
[510]
This little tiny chip is
why we have this giant box,
[515]
but this little tiny chip
is super, super important.
[518]
Not all black boxes are gonna be the same,
[519]
so there's going to be some
differences between them.
[521]
Unfortunately, planes do
crash, and fortunately
[524]
we do have the technology that
they can find the information
[528]
that can answer some questions.
[529]
So we've been going on
a lot of trips lately
[531]
and it's been a ton of fun.
[532]
We saw our gold play button video
[533]
where we traveled the world.
[534]
We're going on another trip, and
[536]
it's going to be in Iceland, July 20th.
[538]
- Yeah!
[539]
- And there's an amazing concert.
[540]
The video's playing right
here, you can see it.
[542]
LG is sending us there, and they're doing
[543]
this awesome project
with the Northern Lights.
[545]
It should be very cool.
[546]
- Yeah, I'm really excited for it.
[548]
- But the best part is, they're sending
[549]
one winner and a friend
to go to this concert.
[552]
Flight, hotel, everything, all the details
[554]
are in the link in the description below.
[556]
But we want you guys to
go click on the link,
[559]
see what you have to
do, and if you want to,
[561]
go onto the Facebook or
go onto their website
[563]
and you can submit to potentially win
[566]
and we would love to see you in Iceland
[568]
at this amazing concert.
[569]
- I'm so excited to see it.
[571]
- And if some of you guys that
are watching live in Iceland,
[574]
just know that July 20th
we're going to be there,
[576]
and we'll do a fan meetup
somewhere around there.
[578]
Hope you enjoyed what's inside of
[579]
a flight data recorder,
it was a lot of fun.
[581]
Check out the LG Iceland trip,
[583]
and I hope that we get
to see you guys there.
[586]
- Yippee!
[587]
(laughing)
