Watch Repair in Microgravity

[Saxgregg]

Can you do a video on how to fix a watch that's stop running?

[starrtennis]

This guy is an astronaut.

[strongbadman2]

@starrtennis IMPOSSIBRU!

[AliAbd4]

next video: cum shot in space

[B19Dav3]

Yeah, but try doing that falling down a cliff.... oh wait hang on

[lostpiro]

Leatherman Wave ftw!

[sucazza]

Hoo tnx finally someone have done a good tutorial!

i have the same watch, and i'm here in my

space station, you save my life!

P.S.

Can you please realize a new totorial? Hoo to cook

a marshmellow? microgravity make me realy nervous

sometimes.

[815algenis]

Does anyone know how put the pin back in on the very top of the watch, the area before the analogue? I stepped on my watch on accident and the pin wont go in, I did manage to get the broken link out. It's a Bullova watch. Can I put W-40? I don't want to do it at the place I bought it because they want to charge me $50.

[porousorifice]

I like the right tool for the job comment!

[InfiniteGXT]

I was on board until the little screw floated away. MIND=BLOWN

and then I realized they were in space

[predatortheme]

@DownstairsB

me to :o

[ve2zzz]

Where is the WD-40 ?

[photopawn37]

Duct tape is so useful in space

[carvetop]

This is immensely cool.

[Blender3dvids]

wait so you could have blew up the ISS with ur tiny watch piece?!?!?!?!?

[mrbluenun]

Hi benwl, I'm disappointed. I watched your watch video to see how you replaced the crown.

Oh well, I will have to keep looking I guess!

Have subbed to your site BTW.

mrbluenun

[4at4ish]

check out that battery standing erect. ah. eeewww!

[4at4ish]

@4at4ish squeamish win!

[rebellis13]

We always use the right tool for the job here, which on a frontier is any tool you can find so you get the job done with

haha, more epic than Armstrongs sentence jumping on the moon

[thewindows7starter]

porque las cosas flotan?

[SuperAwesomeBalls]

Is that some super space tape for like 59000 $ ?? :O

[youngflips707]

he in space cool

[clyse88]

i would love to dump a box of legos in that place- cool vid tho

[theownzer]

@clyse88 that would be so amazing, just watching everysingle piece float around

[panzarw]

and in the near future, a bunch of chinese people sitting in an orbital stations closet making fake casios!

[philglassfan]

The Casio G-Shock onboard never fell apart!

[shadowblack1987]

WOW! A lot of fucking morons here...

His in the ISS...

Whats next? No moon landing?

Get over yourself people.

[deckv71]

@shadowblack1987 fucking morons...."His in the ISS"??

[aareth1]

This was a part of NASA movie...he is in the international space centre...you can find the full movie somewhere in youtube

[CreativeHaXorzZ]

u see his arms ? he dont have any suit or something like that so he CANT be in vacuum!

[uberblabar]

you dumbasses think there's a "zero-gravity" room on earth that defies law of physics?

[albula642]

Why vacuum? Vacuum doesn't make things float.

[albula642]

vacuum = no air

if u put something in vacuum it actually falls down faster than on earth (with air).

if a person is exposed to vacuum he dies within 10 seconds. As u clearly can see he is not exposed to vacuum but normal pressure. The only thing vacuum does it removes all air (thereby air resistance) but it doesn't remove gravity.

In movies many things fall down or don't float which should float, just look at Armageddon.

[noslover11]

@albula642 i don't think a person dies within 10 seconds in a vacuum it takes a lot more if he doesn't hold his breath it will take up to 1 min or more but if you do hold in its going to be a lot faster :I

[whiterabit998]

@noslover11 a person would die fasst! not due to the lack of air however but due to the fact that our blood and all of our liquids would boil at 0 psi!

[noslover11]

@whiterabit998 i was not referring to the lack of air in my comment i was referring to the gas

expansing in the Lungs i.e. from 1 psi to 0 psi the air in your long will 2x in size

thats a fast kill as for the blood boiling in 0 psi that is up to the amount

of nitrogen in your system and it will take longer to kill you

[bdonlan]

@whiterabit998 A human was exposed to near vacuum in an accident during a NASA experiment; he lost consciousness after 14 seconds, but after restoring pressure he woke up and was fine. The water on his tongue boiled, but the human skin gives enough pressure to prevent blood from boiling. I'd post a link, but youtube's spamfilter blocks it; google for 'nasa vacuum exposure accident'.

[albula642]

The way they make it float is that they hang it on wires which they remove trough computer programs which is quite complicated.

The mythbusters thing has nothing to do with weightlessness since u have gravity on the surface of the moon. U simply have a sixth of the gravity on earth. The reason u don't have gravity on the space station is that it "falls" down all the time. If u would jump from an airplane in vacuum u would also be weightless.

[Braindestructor]

so cool with no gravity, i wish i could visit a room with zero gravity

[rtomson]

Wow , that is the coolest watch video I've ever seen. It's a shame that an Omega would simply break like this -- after all they hold themselves out as the "moon watch" company and promote their relationship with NASA et al. Anyways, after the initial disgust that you would have to spend your precious time repairing a watch -- this video was so freaking amazing! Thank you for posting it. Truly unique. Thank you!

[vetpsychwars]

He did a good job. Considering all Omegas are serviced before each flight, the mechanicals and the X-33s both, it makes you wonder what the hell he did to his watch that he needed to do any service at all in flight.

[shelbyfahrer]

Wrong watch for the job. Take a Seiko 5, they are almost indestructible automatic watches. Or if you need a lot of functions then take a Seiko G-Shock.

[shelbyfahrer]

Sorry, I meant Casio G-Shock.

[ryanhayn]

aww...he has a stuffy nose :)

[krisdevalle]

Regarding his stuffy nose - apparently fluid pools in the head in microgravity, unlike on Earth where fluid is distributed regularly due to gravity. So everyone's face puffs up a little and I dare say that's why he sounds a little stuffy.

[Jezzamezzamy]

Oh shut up.

[Fenizrael]

This was really cool. These guys are smart cookies!

[joeplay101]

that looks so cool seeing all of the little tiny screws just float up.

[middlehavenracer]

Rolex watch vs Diesel or Fossil watch

Which is better?

is there no comparison in Rolex favor?

[herndonboy13]

rolex son

[xpatfyiex]

there's absolutely no comparison, Even though Rolex is not the most prestigious company they offers fine swiss timepieces. On the other hand you have all these hong kong mass prodution dollar watches. It is completely 2 different world.

[Kivencito]

Are they in space????

[frido15]

Nooo...

They are in an ISS shaped microgravity genarator on earth

[Kivencito]

Wow!!!! hey thanks for answer me and... do u know a site where i can know more of that microgravity generator?

[batukhan]

yeah i hope that all of those 3 posts were sarcastic.

[Globalx59]

no i actually have one of these there costing around 200-400 million dollars but idc because i won 500 million in nh lottery so izz nice

[vanepico]

I swear the crown thing isn't on the last picture of the video!

Thats so cool! make sure you don't lever something out with too much pressure, otherwise it may ping of and poke you in the eye

[Gamernotnerd]

Do you have your own gravity in orbit? Do small objects orbit/stick to you?

[frido15]

Everything has its own gravity, in orbit and on earth. Because earth has a big mass, you don't feel the gravity of other thing on it.

If you fly away from the gravity of other things in space, you will notice your own.

[soul9528]

As stated above, all objects do interact with each other gravitationally. This relationship can be expressed through the following equation:

Fg = (G • M1 • M2) / d ^ 2

Where

G = 6.673 • (10 ^ -11) N m^2/kg^2

M1 is the mass of the first object expressed in kilograms

M2 is the mass of the second object expressed in kilograms

d is the distance in meters

Thus though force is exerted between your body and the surroundings, it's effects are miniscule to the point of unnoticeable.

[e30m3izzle]

you forgot to add -NLV (never lose virginity)

[realityexplorations]

may seem a dumb qestion to some but i think its valid, is he actually in space, or some other way used to get a micro gravity

[itzjesusbxtch]

yes

[relohero]

how about the automatic when you use a magnet it will destroy the watch

[muffemod]

If the watch become magnatized it will be ruined. But in most instances leaving a magnet on an automatic will not normally ruin it. It will just make it stop briefly until you remove it. Its funny i do it all the time. I never permanently ruined a mechanical watch by putting a magnet to it.

[kisetsushin]

It wouldn't be ruined, all you have to do is take it apart and demagnetize each part that's made of a ferrous alloy. You most likely wouldn't need to demagnetize the hairspring or mainspring though since most modern watches use Elinvar or Nivarox for those.

[muffemod]

Exactly right.

[xxcrimxx]

I wanna see some magnets in space. See what those would be like.

[0509192861]

Man ... you make me laugh, great job. HEHE

[guitartec]

The Orbiting Watchmaker. Nice repair in outer space

[hackerandcrackersinc]

nice movement. got to love the swiss Q's

[BlazerLT]

This is really interesting.

[Realityinplay]

would take Omega 7 weeks to that.

[Trig242]

HAHAHA!!

[eticktock]

it sure saves time spending looking for parts on the floor lol

[balmuge]

lol yea you don't have to just worry about them on the floor, they could be stuck on the ceiling to!

[TheReaverOfDarkness]

"We always use the right tool for the job, which, on the frontier, is any tool you can find that you can use to get the job done."

So true!

Actually it looks easier to work in microgravity. That way you don't have to worry about dropping things.

[bullfrogeth]

thats a really nice watch...

[Car1orff]

Im amazed that you can take your watch apart and put it back together, let alone in microgravity.

[xXpezcoolXx]

Space is so awesome so is science ^_^nice!

[watchnasatvcom]

Love the new vids Ben. Is this a part of "Education file"? I'll admit I'm not up very early on Saturdays.

[testorgguy]

thats amazing
