Titan Submersible and how it Imploded... parts of submersible recovered 1600 feet from the Titanic

hi everyone as you know I do 3D modeling and I did a little project of the submersible submarine that went missing a few weeks ago if you like my work give me a follow this incident occurred on June 18th as a submersible was descending to the Titanic more than two miles deep this sub might seem quite large but it's actually very small and we are going to take it apart and see how it was built in this illustration you can see how small the submersible really is with the five people inside we learned that four days after the submersible went missing debris was found on the ocean floor verifying the submersible had imploded let's look at what they recovered off the ocean floor so far here's a tail section and what's interesting is how this is still relatively intact even though there was this catastrophic implosion you'll see this with other parts as well and I'll try to explain why this is the case here's the front dome which had a porthole window that the passengers can look out of the Dome was bolted to a titanium ring that was also salvaged off the ocean floor here's a photo of the lake support system being lowered onto the dock one of the last large things we covered so far is this panel that goes on the tail of the submersible here in this example you're seeing the port side but the part we covered here is a starboard side panel let's see how the ring was attached to the carbon fiber pressure Hull here in this cavity glue is applied and spread all the way around the carbon fiber end was then inserted into this cavity let's look at a cross-section of these two items here in red you're seeing where the glue bonded the two items together one being titanium and the other being carbon fiber both having completely different compression properties pressures that causes things to compress and at the depths of the Titanic a four foot square area would represent 3 million pounds of pressure here you can see how the carbon fiber compresses and the titanium still does nothing after going through many cycles of compression like this the carbon fiber will begin to delaminate losing strength and implode from the extreme pressures here's what that might look like for scale let's add in the five mannequins now in this implosion you would not be able to see things bending or starting to fail here's an example of how fast it would be in a split second with a countdown clock the last thing I wanted to show are the parts that were covered so far that we know of there are more parts are recovered that we just can't see because they are in bags but this is a pretty good percentage of the ship so far thanks for watching
