Ultimate Test Day For TornadoVideos.net!!!

[oilers32roblox]

Imagine if that was TiV 2

[weather112345568]

reed sounded pissed when it went thru the door lol

[FrequentOmegaHeritic]

Nice Reed!@snowgoosebob my dad came up with the idea of the plane and air cannon!!! so shut ur mouth! my dad works with TVN and Tim Samaris!!!! HAH HAH !

[eagammer1]

@FrequentOmegaHeritic well well well,arent u a little cocky bastrd?

[Kingsoupturbo]

Good for you guys doing direct damage to the dominator to test it from severe impact, perhaps a some sort of density coating inbetween door layers for extra protection? dense foam would likely give nice noise cancelling as well without a lot of extra weight?

[DiscreetDropkick]

hey morons, here's a thought. what happens if that nice 2 by 4 hits the window? doesn't matter if the rhino lining works if the 2 by 4 hits the window instead. might wana test that yourself before nature does it for you

[grg7l]

Reed keep up the good work the things that you guys are doing out there are very helpful and it's keeping us safe. I salute you and if I see something in the part of Kansas where I'm at best believe you will know about it if your not here.

[snowgoosebob]

@ 4:00 the video shows the Cannon System followed by a test firing of a few probes about 100' or less in the air so the probles can be drawn into a tornado to collect data. Why waste time and money building some fancy Cannon System?

How about this simple idea..Attach each of the data probes on single Helium filled Balloons. Then just release those Helium filled Balloons and watch the probes keep rising into the air and drawn into the tornado!

Us Poor Men always have better ideas LMAO

[snowgoosebob]

@snowgoosebob (myself)

Yous tried a Fancy Cannon System and in the past RC Planes to get probes into a tornado. Give My simple idea a try! LOL

[FatB00]

@snowgoosebob

Poor men seem not to think before they write...

the probes need to be shot in the tornado, a balloon will either pop or swept away to nowhere

[MeanStreet1981]

@snowgoosebob That sounds good and all but the problem with the wind still remains. You would still have to release those ballons at the perfect moment to catch the inflow, if you do not catch the inflow your ballon will be pounded into the ground.

[MeanStreet1981]

@snowgoosebob Also, Reed and the crew can launch the parachutes directly into the tornado with the cannons, you can't do that with ballons. Not only will the ballons pop under the enormous amount of pressure, you take a risk of the ballons being popped by debris.

[skateboy159]

@snowgoosebob balloons will pop from the high winds hail and debris

[jessshaun623]

Those air canons sound like party noise-makers. Haha

[FTD38]

a asome technic, reed i can just say go on with your protect

[Kritacul]

Gonna need more then Rhino Lining there Reed.

[BurninFingerTipz]

@SilverHands1 They did not. They testing whether it would be able to withstand high air speed, but not projectiles.

[phreak506]

ive watched these gusy for a good while, but seems to me that the cannon system could be a little better and uptodate

[TheXshot]

@phreak506 yeh man. It needs more power.

[phreak506]

@TheXshot other than power a re-design, but ppl with money dont listen lol

[TheXshot]

@phreak506 Hahaha true lol

[zostritch]

um ok so whos gonna fix the door damage to the dominator before it become tornado season again:P

[FuriousPumpkin]

i doubt a piece of wood would come a perfect angle to pierce through the door because of the small surface area it would have exposed for the wind to blow on. So this test was probably more than enough to show you can stand up to small debri.

[Timmeyable]

cool car!!! >>>DOMINATOR<<<

[SakuraSweet90]

Impressive! This is how we see tornadoes destroy everything in their paths

[JulianOnBass]

the air cannons dont seem to be too effective in my opinion u have to be IN the tornado otherwise they will just fall to the ground.

[asflis]

@JulianOnBass That is not correct. It is enough for the probe to get into the outer layer of the tornado, because the inflow and upward motion is strong enough to just suck the probe in.

[chiptopher1986]

lol nice landing

[SCVroker7253]

The TVN has nothing on the TIV.

[raemondluz1]

@SCVroker7253 i wanna see them test out the tiv in this same situation, lets see if the tiv's windows or doors get shattered or bent =)

[niselat]

@raemondluz1 they did the same test shooting at the TIV's windows. TIV also withstood winds that blew the Dominator away (literally) on MythBusters

[slapaho087]

@SCVroker7253 yea because that thing is solid iron

[autowiz12]

@slapaho087 Actually, TIV's body armor is made of different layers of material, only the flaps are solid metal and @D0ublezer0x you can't just say that the TIV isn't bada** looking (both of them) and who cares that it leaks, the turret is open anyway for the camera.

[slapaho087]

@autowiz12 thanks for correcting me i thought it was iron just from the look of it but then i seen the mythbusters episode about the TIV

[D0ublezer0x]

@SCVroker7253

the tiv is a piece shit top to bottom. for christ sake they cant even get the thing to stop leaking.

[BradInTucson]

@D0ublezer0x Yeah we've never seen the TVN team getting soaked INSIDE their vehicle. Ever notice the last time the first TIV was in Stormchasers? That beast was a rust bucket.

[NorthShoreFire3]

@D0ublezer0x Its not a submarine dude.

[shaddayah]

Wow! Awesome stuff!

[XXTHE12THMANXX]

This is gonna make the mythbusters jelouse.......

[aaron13133]

lol, theres the mythbusters seal of awesomness

[VCBee042]

sounds like a very sick goose

[RenownRecon]

Reed your team is doing amazing work. Keep on chasing!

~Joshua McClain

[laptoph4x]

notice how every guy in this video cant wait to pound the other in the ass

[gmangigson]

i love the little horn noise the air cannons on the dominator make when they fire lol. looks good

[zilla200644567]

nice test

[alig04]

is that the same plane from last season?

[DubblefullYouKno]

Tell the camera man to stop breathing so loudly! Its obnoxious!

[lovethatcat2]

@DubblefullYouKno I thought it was a breeze blowing..

[revolutionizingYOU]

@DubblefullYouKno lol i always know when Chris Chittick is the camera man(:

[T2DarIantan]

Reed, don't you think it's time to give up wearing sandals? It doesn't seem appropriate for navigating debris fields and crossing downed power lines and climbing into destroyed houses.

[twincreek101]

umm you put up with your little air horn back there? (the air cannons) that would drive me crazy every time you shot out a probe XD lol

[jhoops924]

i hope your gonna fix that hole before next season :D hope the dominator will still dominate

[167tyler]

the chutes dont look like they go high enough. you need like a potato gun and have them in some kind of capsule that you can shoot 3x as far as that and have the capsules open when they start to fall back down to earth.

[bassplaya1549]

@167tyler Maybe...but the chutes will follow the inflow bands of a tornado...so they may stay airbourne much longer than when they test it.

[lukychmz]

that laugh at 1:08 was epic

[Hartford1992]

I would love to trick out my Storm Chase Vehicle the same way you guys did the Dominator. ^_^

[nartuo2484]

1:21 Ohhhh!! o.O

[stevenwg19]

So thats why you have that 2x4 in your door. LOL

[DeltaPhi79]

We have debris testing and the wind speed testing.... What about the nuke testing? XD

[tornadonoob1]

lol at 1:45 "they dont make them like they used to.

[cpDq231]

Saw some of this on Mythbusters

[chipmunk669]

Nice. I think the doors should be a tad bit thicker

[heat15sw]

cool

[Strawberry1139]

That's so frickin cool! Although the math/science part sounds confusing, I'm looking forward to more tornado vids. YEAHHH MAN!

[RFDbehindme]

It's a cross between Storm Chasers and Mythbusters!!! awesome!!

[Skybreak31]

WOW @ the 140 test on 1st truck

[zythepsarian]

dominator seems like a pretty bad name considering if anything does some dominating itll be the tornado heh

[JimPrower]

The armor helped, but you now need a new door...ah, well, GMT800s are easy to find parts for.

[DarkMaleuz]

love ur job guys

[matiia]

Oh that deep breathing from the cameraman is divine!

[fingerskate22]

sweet!

[xxHxCxSxExx]

Haha, the rhino lining got wrecked! At least it didn't penetrate the car door. Stay safe you guys, and keep the awesome videos, and episodes coming!!

[ShowersChase]

sweet! oh yea and Second!

[freddygotfingered23]

@ShowersChase actually, you're third.

[EWninjah]

What a tank!!

[Jimthebig8]

lol awesome
