Dry-ice Titanic sinking (and update)

[rceckspurt13]

the bubbles sound really cool in slow motion

[2011LEGOFAN]

Cool vid, can you do the Titanic rising out of the water with the dry ice around it? it will look like it's coming back from the grave:)

[MissMeri100]

the camera underwater is super cool

[ff40mad]

Dude, did you find the heart of the ocean when the tide went out? ;)

[VBruim]

He's so handsome (: what a gorgeous guy with an amazing hobbie

[TamoTimeify]

@Rapidnation is there any corrosion? Have you lost any of your ships?

[lyman2129]

what type of glue did you use to glue the ship

[Rapidnadion]

@lyman2129 We use CA glue (superglue), model cement, or waterproof caulk, depending on which part of the ship we're gluing.

[pipeorganest]

yeah what mrgunlover said just drill holes into the funnles, all except the last one because the 4th funnle was a vent.

[deloreanrc]

the dry-ice really gave the model a run for its money to sink.....it was almost like the real one on speed of sinking scaled down....if you guys could some how try to eliminate the smoke from the back and make it come out the smoke stacks....the dry-ice could be used as a great sinking effect

[henrik8166]

Man.. you got to love what you are doing! It looks so amasing to do this!

[englishtwister]

very good video but,. how deep is the water to which it sank in? in feet or yards

[Rapidnadion]

@englishtwister About eight feet, in this case.

[141natedogg]

what kind of model cement do you use?

[Rapidnadion]

@141natedogg CA glue/superglue, model cement (Testors), Loc-Tite, and waterproof caulk.

[afflictionzix]

heres an idea. instead of waiting for the tide, y not knot a string of yarn to the back to pull it up after the experanent. it can save time and reduce the rusk of the tide carrying the model out to sea. just a thought...

[Rapidnadion]

@afflictionzix Yep; we've always tied a fishing line to our Titanic models for recovery. We even have a video of us recovering the model on our Channel page! Great minds think alike. :) Thanks for the suggestion.

[Sunburn2007]

Start at 2:29 if you want to get to the point.

[itronicCA]

This is very good made !

[VictrolaJazz]

I'm sure it would be very expensive, but I wish someone would make a model Titanic that is fitted out on the inside and that could be opened up some way. Perhaps it could be transparent on one side and maybe each deck could be removable to see into each stateroom and public room!

[VictrolaJazz]

Nearer My God to Thee!

[MrFredster222]

where are the people

[TheVettelfan]

this is stuff youtube is made for nice work

[TheVettelfan]

this really stuff youtube is made for nice work

[2cs92bsg]

when you make them sink do you put water tight doors that are small enough for water to pass over top of them? and do you also put balast in them? pleas respond

[Rapidnadion]

@2cs92bsg We do a lot of interior modification. Check out the "How it's Made" video for our splitting model Titanic to see how we did some of that.

[Sigma0283]

I saw that one of the models had 8 water compartments. Have you tried adding all sixteen to see what that does?

[Rapidnadion]

@Sigma0283 We haven't. Adding that many would be a bit redundant because of the scale and the way the model needs to be able to sink. Also, the iceberg damage completely renders bulkheads #1-5 irrelevant. Gotta cut corners somewhere. :)

[winterka100]

I'm working on a scale model iceberg. We'll have to get together!

[MrVideoman01]

It would look cool if you filled the funnels with dry ice, then poured water in the funnels and sink it :-)

[LinkinParkFANTron]

im surprised it stays up for a couple secounds

[Rapidnadion]

@LinkinParkFANTron The dry ice helped us "cheat" a little in that regard. As more water comes into contact with it, it generates even more CO2 gas that fills the ship and keeps her afloat for longer. Only as the ice disappears does the ship gradually fill with water and sink.

[LinkinParkFANTron]

@Rapidnadion Oh :) will you sell any titanic models you have?

[Rapidnadion]

@LinkinParkFANTron Sadly, we don't offer any for sale. We need to keep them in our inventory for future shoots! But we're working on more how-to videos as we build more, so hopefully we can help viewers to build their own.

[77elvistheking]

@Rapidnadion Hey man, I'd like to ask you! Can you please show me on Ebay a great detailed model of Titanic for 30-60$? Send me a link or just tell me what to type ;)

By the way, how much yours costed?

[LinkinParkFANTron]

@Rapidnadion i forgot to ask u how long is it?

[daVROOOMSTA]

the best part about dry ice is you canmake bombs with it!?

[MrTcamp42]

the fish r probs freaking right the fuck out

[amourcami]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sharkformer]

for THE LONGEST TIME, I thought the channel name was "Rapid NATION". LOL dyslexia

[HarrisonBonesOwns]

hey where do you all get your airplane/ ship parts I was just wondering great video BTW keep it up!

[Mrgunlover2]

perhaps you could've put the dry-ice under the funnels for a steam affect

[Rapidnadion]

@Mrgunlover2 Yep; that'll happen someday. In the meantime, we've gotten actual smoke to come from #3 in our splitting-Titanic videos (see the video response to this vid).

[singleagain1974]

Awsome Titanic.

[Rapidnadion]

@singleagain1974 Thank you!

[Jerbod2]

Awesome job.

[Rapidnadion]

@Jerbod2 Many thanks.

[LLLolzor43]

2:25 Where the sinking starts

[RESHON09]

sooooo, who's going down there to get it...lmao

[Rapidnadion]

@RESHON09 We recover this one after every sinking - we have a video of the recovery process on our Channel page if you're interested! It's called "Raising the (Model) Titanic."

[schwebbs84]

The song "Like a Rock" would fit well with this one

[PokeworksStudios]

love the part when the ship's completely vertical, and starts it slow final plunge :D

[thedanielalan1]

hi

[ReptigloRand]

@rapidnadion cool, i may get one for christmas. How many feet deep can it go?

[Rapidnadion]

@ReptigloRand As deep as the water is. :)

[CaptNemo011]

Not bad.

The bubbles aren't to scale. Maybe you should try Alka seltzers next time. It might give you bubbles that are more to scale.

[Rapidnadion]

@CaptNemo011 Alka Seltzer doesn't react visibly or quickly enough in salt water - we've been trying it for years with these models. As we stated in the video, though, we loaded up the model with dry ice in this instance as a time-wasting exercise. We weren't trying to be authentic in this one at all.

[CaptNemo011]

@Rapidnadion Still, your "time-wasting exercise" gave your video 50% more coolness than other Titanic sinking videos. Bravo.

[Rapidnadion]

@CaptNemo011 Much appreciated. Thanks!

[ReptigloRand]

@rapidnadion what kind of gopro camera do you got?

[Rapidnadion]

@ReptigloRand This one is a GoPro Hero HD (first generation).

[timetraveller9ify]

this video is so cool!!!!

[thetitanicisdead]

i know you dont know me but your models rock so do your vids,,,,, want to be friends?

[Rapidnadion]

@thetitanicisdead Always happy to meet a new YouTube friend. :)

[malcolmmorin]

@Rapidnadion The part with the model heading to the bottom is so....*long hiss* Haunting...

Nice, Btw

[DanielAlyssaBrandon1]

how are u going to get that thing out doesn't it have a camera on the front

[Rapidnadion]

@DanielAlyssaBrandon1 Watch our video titled "Raising the (Model) Titanic."

[P3anutcody96]

3:13 i swor to god i heard ghostly voieses

[TheGorgeramirez]

@P3anutcody96 thats creepy i tell you if i here them

[oo7101]

Since it is ur old model.... could I have it!? Please respond

[Rapidnadion]

@oo7101 We still use this model for filming. In a future video, it will serve as a stand-in for the splitting model in some shots. Also, we don't currently give away our models, retired or otherwise. We encourage you to build your own, though!

[ahfaxthis]

JACK JACK, gurgle gurle, JACK !!!

[ahfaxthis]

when i was younger , you would have been my best friend. YOU ROCK !

[Rapidnadion]

@ahfaxthis Honored! Thanks!

[TheMstrmuse1]

LOL

[bob7dck]

The titanic split in Half

[Rapidnadion]

@bob7dck You didn't pay much attention to the video, did you?

[patman0250]

that was fuckin cool!!!

[jnmia1]

Well, just like the real one it sank.

[Vaughn805]

@ 2:57 Captain Smith is dead.

[htinor96]

@RapidNadion  Which

Type of titanic model is this....?? I've never seen this model before....PLEASE RESPOND.

[Rapidnadion]

@htinor96 This is a heavily-modified Academy-Minicraft 1:350 kit. See our "[Model Titanic SPLITS] How It's Made" video, and the website in the video description, for much more information.

[13295n]

@Rapidnadion hey what if you put dry ice in the funnels so then it would look like the real thing and give me some credit for the idea ok

[Rapidnadion]

@13295n We already talked about this months ago - see earlier comments. Yes, it's a good idea.

[ThePhantomFanatic]

Hang on did you guys raise it the usual way with like that string or did you actually have to dive down and get it.

[Rapidnadion]

@ThePhantomFanatic The usual string recovery on this one. We've had to get the crab net out for the splitting TItanic a few times, though.

[Killzone1912]

You guys should put a camra inside the model

[plxton]

waste

[Rapidnadion]

@plxton Oh?  How, exactly? We recover the model each time.

[DeathSniper8899]

How did you get that back???

[Rapidnadion]

@DeathSniper8899 Check out our "Raising the [Model] Titanic" video on our Channel page.

[dragonball740]

how deep is that?



[Rapidnadion]

@dragonball740 About six feet or so.

[robloxian5897]

titanic did have small exploseons/fires just ad centimetre of dry ice but its stil good

[1005kristy]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooool

[Rutskater]

omg i like this so subbed to u

[Rapidnadion]

@Rutskater Thanks for subscribing! Be sure to check out our more recent Titanic videos on our channel page.

[TheDavi098]

Uhuuu adoro seus vídeos do Titanic!

Parabéns! Sempre se superando!

[ahodina9811]

is that really dry ice?

[Rapidnadion]

@ahodina9811 Sure is. Solid carbon dioxide. Easy to come by if you have an ice distributor nearby, and not too expensive either.

[mumu21]

directly to the best part: 2:31

[MrMaypole14]

I think your videos are well done! thanks for sharing and good job!

[MikeyRB77]

Your name is Mike. Is your last name 'Patton'? Cool vid, BTW.

[Rapidnadion]

@MikeyRB77 It is not. :) But thank you!

[LegoMovieMan44]

It looks perfect! The smoke makes it look really cold! LITERALLY.

[existentialvoid]

you have a great voice - keep it up!

[Rapidnadion]

@existentialvoid @LegoMovieMan44 @MrMaypole14 Thanks very much.

[13295n]

ah it on fire



[ACuriousSoldier]

i suggest controlling the breakup of titanic. at the exact time when the bow section is  a few inch underwater then break it up.

[Rapidnadion]

@ACuriousSoldier Thanks for the suggestion - the splitting videos have been posted. We'll be making more as time goes on.

[happygolucky759]

you should blow up a model in the water with dry ice

[mbrisendine123]

I liked how there are lots of different shots & the camera is steady - most of the time you get people shaking the camera around when they film -.-

it looked like it went down ok - with it almost/or perpendicular in the water for a few seconds, but there should've been less dry ice ;) good video

[Rapidnadion]

@mbrisendine123 Thank you!

[vigolla]

why don't you put a little bit of water in the funnels and a little bit of dry ice in there too so it may be like the real titanic!!

[MarioOnage64]

Did you use the deluxe version?

[Pairjira]

May I make a suggestion. It will be so cool if holes were made in the spots where the funnels go so that the steam comes out of the funnels!

[Mage653]

very nice work

[TBOGTplayer2000]

U should buy a lusitania model and R/C u boat that fires torpedos,and then make the torpedo hit the lusitania and it then sinks.

[TimeLordParadox]

That looked pretty cool. It would've been cool if the steam came out from the stacks rather then out the back and front though.

[widdlepimplabs]

How do hou retrieve the model?

[Rapidnadion]

@widdlepimplabs Fishing line tied to the bow. Check out our "Raising the (Model) Titanic" video!

[RusskieHunter13]

Do you think you can somehow make the model to be able to break in half like the real one did, but able to reattach it to the ship for it to be reusable? Like have two parts of the ship that could snap together, maybe?

[Rapidnadion]

@RusskieHunter13 We've done just that. Click the blue link at the top of the video (starting at 0:09) to see the new splitting model in action.

[hktrpanito]

Ö Bubbles under water sounds like a toy guitar :) GREEEEEEAT VIDEO!!! :)

[Rapidnadion]

@hktrpanito Thank you! Check out the new ones we just posted to see some hull break-ups!

[LittleLuckk]

Can you please give me a link to where you buy your model Titanic(s) from? Other than that I appreciate the videos.

[Rapidnadion]

@LittleLuckk We buy them from many sources. It's pretty simple; all you have to do is Google "Minicraft Titanic" and go to the Shopping results. You can find them for under $50 on eBay sometimes (the splitting model we've built was one such kit).

[starbuckslover556]

@Rapidnadion would you sell me one of your old models

[Rapidnadion]

@starbuckslover556 None of them are for sale at the moment, as we still use most of them! The retired models are usually retired because of a malfunction.

[orosteguii]

excelente amigo!!!

[Rapidnadion]

@orosteguii Thank you!

[orosteguii]

@Rapidnadion you know a lot about scale wrecks !! hahahha

[666shenanigans]

It would be better if you put the dry ice in the funnels

[starbuckslover556]

That is an amazing model what did you do with the old

[Rapidnadion]

@starbuckslover556 Thank you. We still have all of the Titanic models in our fleet.

[devilsmarksman]

@rapidnadion you should get some footage of her on the bottom after she goes down.

[Rapidnadion]

@devilsmarksman We've been thinking of securing a GoPro to the bottom of the harbor and trying to capture the impact of the hull.

[ConversationNation]

That was awesome dude.

[Rapidnadion]

@ConversationNation Thank you!

[ReptigloRand]

Ok this did not work when u buldit please email me at truman.randy@yahoo.com thanks

[ReptigloRand]

Hey i made one look like it splts by cutting it, and then using a peice of duct tape on the insides at the bottom and glued it together i am still waiting to try this .

[ReptigloRand]

Hey nice i subed.

[Jackswild30]

ur vids are amazing, although keep the dry ice to the back of the ship...it will give the illusion that the boilers are hitting the icy water. i have the same model and i've been wanting and trying to sink it since i was 14 and i'm in my 30's now and still not be able to do it lol

[Rapidnadion]

@Jackswild30 Thanks! Keep at it - it's fun to see what does and doesn't work!

[DCnightcrawler]

If you seal off the tops of your bulkheads and put pinholes up top it will slow the sinking down so it does not plunge so rapidly and make it look more realistic. Just a suggestion for fun.

[Rapidnadion]

@DCnightcrawler Thanks. Actually no matter what the flood rate is, once the ship reaches the point of critical instability (during the beginning of the final plunge, when the bridge goes under), she's going to pivot vertical in a hurry. It happened to the real ship as well, though due to the scale it obviously didn't look like our models. :) We're continually refining our designs.

[WockesZero]

Aww, I wanted an explosion

[Rapidnadion]

@WockesZero Our videos of R/C destroyers firing bottle rockets are better for explosion-seekers. :)

[Angrybirds3452]

Why don't you make a video with the Titanic breaking it's smokestacks and it spliting so that it'll be more epic and more historical.

[Rapidnadion]

@Angrybirds3452 The whole point of this video was updating our subscribers on the splitting Titanic model we're working on. Did you miss that? We'll be filming it very soon.

[nztfct]

You should have put the dry ice in the 4 chimneys.

[TheAlistair10]

y dont u put it in the turronts that would be funny

[stagedivers24]

Hey buddy, I use the GoPro for diving and if you want alot clearer image get the Mako Flat Lens because if you notice that the regular bubble lens on the GoPro makes the picture look a tad bit blurry. Youtube the comparisons. Great Vid!

[Rapidnadion]

@stagedivers24 You aren't kidding! We noticed the out-of-focus issue pretty early and read up on all the reports/debates online. The flat lens cover is *definitely* on our shopping list. Thanks for the heads up on the brand name!

[EECrazyTitanicMan44]

lol "it looks ridicoulous it looks like the Titanics on umm fire' lol

[CHRISTINKER86]

Ok all i could think was 2 things NUMBER ONE: to much waffle i got bored lol NUMBER TWO: the guy talking is HOT!!

[Rapidnadion]

@CHRISTINKER86 Thanks. Next time we'll make sure to reduce the amount of waffle. (?)

[CHRISTINKER86]

@Rapidnadion lol sorry waffle is a term we use when someone talks a bit too much about something lol, no offence intended lol!!

[Rapidnadion]

@CHRISTINKER86 No worries; thanks again!

[SuperTerminatrix]

I think it looks just fine. That's what it would of looked like when those hot boilers hit the cold ocean water

[ISSACISARETARD]

where did you get theat model and how much did it cost

[raymondleeleggs]

Titanic bong.

[BasePlateFilmz]

Dude I had the same problem with the ballistic thingy too when I sunk my britannic model too. took a while to balance it from capsizing. how'd you get the model to sink so slowly when it fully submerged in the water?

[Rapidnadion]

@BasePlateFilmz Ballasting is a tricky process, for sure! As for what we did to keep the sink rate slow - we controlled how much air can escape from the stern by sealing it well. Also, the dry ice helps, as the wetter it gets, the more buoyant gas it generates.

[PRR5406]

That is easily, the best last moments on the surface, greatest trail into the abyss, I have ever seen! How deep is the area in which you do this? It really looks like the real ship falling towards eternity.  Well done.

[Rapidnadion]

@PRR5406 Thanks very much! The water depth here was between 7-10 feet, but the biologics in the water give it a much grander feel by limiting visibility.

[Machinima92]

DUDE AWSOME VIDEO, BUT YOU SHOULD PUT SOME DRY ICE IN THE FUNNELS THAT WOULD BE SO AWSOME PLEASE REPLY!

[Rapidnadion]

@Machinima92 Easy on the CAPS, friend. We've already replied to several people who've made the same suggestion; we'll do that in the future. :)

[Machinima92]

@Rapidnadion Very sorry! My keyboard was acting up when i gave you that comment. Anyways, Looking forward to seeing titanic with dry ice in her funnels :)

[jessellanos787]

dude dry ice does not smoke was you put it in water it causes it to cool fast and realse the c02 rapidly no smoke but co2 gas

[Rapidnadion]

@jessellanos787 We're aware of that, thanks. It looks more like smoke in scale, so that's what we said. But putting it in water most certainly doesn't cause the dry ice to cool. Quite the opposite.

[Rapidnadion]

@youngbond00 We bought it for this shoot - 50lbs wasn't much costlier than 20lbs, so we went for it!

[mrpwnedish]

all i have to say is when

[Rapidnadion]

@untouchableairsoft33 About six feet when we shot this sinking.
