Oh, I'm feeling it!
I'm feeling it baby!
Alright, people
I'm out here
At the University of Ontario Institute Technologies
I'm in the Ace Wind Tunnel
I'm feeling the beutiful wind
Today, we're going to find out
How much wind it takes to kill a drone
Let's check it out
You gotta knock the hat off!
I want more!
Ohhh
Ohhhhh
There it is
Ha ha ha ha
Haoooo
*Wind*
Ohhhhh
Yeaaa!!!
Wooo!
*Louder Wind*
*Laughing*
YEA!!!!
WOOOO!!!
*Wind becomes louder*
*Laughing*
Oh man, if kept going up,
this would of been my body slammed agianst here
This is what I would have looked like
If he kept going up
Look at my poor hat, got flatten out
That was-- How high did you get up to?
Person: We got up to a hundred
You got up to a hundred?
Hundred kilometer an hour wind
Right in there
It's amazing, it creates like
This-- Essentially this tunnel of wind
Out here,
These people are all safe
But you step right in here,
Where that wall
begins,
Boom.
WOOO!!!!
So the question is:
When it comes to
The drone that we're about to throw in here,
It's a DJI Phantom 4
It's like, at what point,
Do all of it's systems for stabilization give up completely?
At what point, at what type of wind speed, is it slams against
That back drape?
That's what we're here to find out
*unclear speach*
And it should go down and there
into that chamber
What's up brother?!
WOO!
Right now,
When I cross over that line,
You can see the speed up there
13km/hr
No problem
13, stabilizing itself
Easily
Here we go, we're going to jack it up
I probably shouldn't stand behind it
*Laughs*
This is what the drone is seeing right now
17!
Oh! It's starting to dance around a bit now
Still stabilized, still beautiful at 19
20!
20km/hr!
You know, heart of the storm baby!
23!
Still, kicky!
OOOOOOOOOOOOO
Person: And I thought you were ready to give up!
Lew: Amazingly stable!
We're almost at 30km/hr now
Woahhhh!
40!
I'm getting kicked out right now!
Raah!
Ohh! Get in there!
GO!!
YEA!!
Oh, boy!
I'm gonna pull it out real quick
Oh!
This is out here at 50, it found itself agian!
What do we say? Do we jump back in?
OHH!!!
53!
Whooahaaaoooo
Oh! *laughs*
Ho ho, Man!
He can dive in and out!
He can dive in and out!!
You wanna get nuts?!
Boom, let's keep up!
57!
I'm in!
Come on brother! Come on brother!
*screams*
*laughs* *calms down*
Man!
Holy!
Look at this
I got one propeller over here,
This one busted,
But otherwise,
The battery poped out, the camera's okay
It might have some life left in it
What was that at? What was the speed?
Person: Almost 60
About 60 right?
Yea, if your diving in 60km/hr winds,
You're going to have a tough time keeping control of this thing
I did it a few times though, I dove in, dove out
*really loud wind*
What do you say Jack?
We got the wind tunnel
up to 150
kilometers an hour now
We repaired
The drone
Replaced some compents
I'm going to try to dive in there
With the drone, see what happens
But first, let just check out how powerful this wind is
Just to give you an idea of what kind of wind we're working with here
*laughs*
So as you can tell,
It's not the optimal enviorment
for a drone!
It's a hurricane out there
It took the beating the first time,
But it probably going to be a whole different type of beating
It's going to put my pilot skills to the test
*just loud wind*
Ohh, easy brother, easy!
Ready?!
Here we go!
OHHHHHHHH!!!! OHHHH!!!!
*laughs*
It's no match for 150-- 150km/hr
But
It did do quite well
Up to about 50km/hr
Which I was impressed by
Yea, as you can see, it's just all black now
But I think it was pretty impressive, all the systems were at play
Tried it's best, lets go check it out, come on
Oh!
So, the damage was a little more severe this time
Once again, a couple of propellers bit the dust
The leg, this li-
Oh, both... legs
Got it, a little bit crunched
Oh! The camera, where's the camera?
*laughs*
The camera got a little bit ripped off
This is the real testing right here.
Alright? And that's uhh
Scientific, truthfully.
Courtesy of this really cool facility here
The wind tunnel
At the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, check it out
So big shoutout to them for having us in here,
And now you know.
Cam you fly your drone in wind?
Yes.
Certainly.
Little bit of wind, no problem
You step up to 100+km/hr
And your drone might end up looking like this.
Shoutout to DJI
Cool stuff man, I was really impressed.
Balancing itself
Now it's time for the next one
What do you guys want to see me do in here next?
Let me know in the comments.
