iPad Test - The worlds first iPad in zero gravity (Test from einstein, swiss television)

[chrlsnewsom5]

This video is a favorite on The Bahamas

[ustavobarr25g]

I am on the odd part of Youtube once more.



[mads1153]

Try with iPad 2, it can maybe work :)

[lucassjcampos]

lógico que não ia funcionar seus troxa

[waytomuchsparetime]

Take one to the ISS!

[RICHIESCO12]

wow its awesome

[lpfader]

Maybe if you held still we might know how an iPad responds in zero gravity.

[bathellfire]

Actually, this is a very inaccurate test.

This is not the real gravity test, it's actually a free-fall inside the airplane. The way this is done, a plane goes to the max altitude and then basically starts falling down (free-fall speed and acceleration). Therefore your acceleration of free-fall is "0" compared to plane.

What this means, is that you are still affected by the gravity (and the device as well), it's just your floor keeps falling away from you basically. iPad reacts to gravity.

[DerFuzzel]

@bathellfire

that's a wrong description of a parabolic flight since it doesn't start at max altitude at all. As the name of the maneuver says the plane follows a parabola.

Also your definition of weightlessness is wrong: "Weightlessness occurs whenever all forces applied to an object are uniformly distributed across the object's mass" which means only voluminal forces and no surface forces apply to the object. For the ISS it's Gravity and the centrifugal force.

Check wiki for details

so iPad cant use Astronaut's ..dammm 30-40 iPad less for selling :) xD

[localboy2010]

that girl is cute

[gongy1returns]

apple need to do exercises

[JCBmakingof]

what now if i want to go live in space i can´t bring my ipad with me

[GubbyMan92]

I think that it would rotate with zero gravity if he made a sudden movement in a certain direction and then stopped the movement directly.

[MrLoneWolf009]

It's an accelerometer, which is kinda used for... Well gee I don't know maybe gravity?! Of course it wouldn't work if there was no gravity.

So if you did that test in the kind of plane I think you're in, you wasted a few million dollars to see if a gravity sensing iPad can work with no gravity

Pure genius for draining the worlds economy into these mind-boggling questions.

[2luviz2h8]

It's an accelerometer on the iPad. Of course the screen won't flip if there is no gravity. Common sense

[GrayVizard]

I does work just not as quickly as in a gravity well

[jamsito]

mmm... ¿y en esto se gastan el presupuesto de la ESA?

[orel91]

the girl on the right is very cute !

[fclefmaster]

not to mention the fact that the guy had his hands on the screen while he was doing most of his rotations so that is going to keep it from rotating too. A problem my arse

[LuisSlax]

the accelerometer can't works.! just it!

[thebulletproofboy]

uh.

activate screen rotation lock?

[d1995a3]

@thebulletproofboy UH. WRONG!

[thebulletproofboy]

@d1995a3 how am i wrong?

just wait till the rotation is right then lock it...

[d1995a3]

@thebulletproofboy The screen lock was off all along.

[drummerkid1993]

It changes! Look at 0:39.

[oeschgi]

hey endlich mal eine anständige Bildquali! Das Video ist auch ganz funny,weiter so! :)

[XalphYT]

The laughing girl at the end of the video is pretty cute.  She's from the ESA as well. Is she Polish?

[AndrewsRaynolds]

@XalphYT

No, she is from the swiss University ETH. They were making up there som biomechanical test. But maby she is Polish, i downt know;)

[HabIchVergessen95]

0:45 with shoe in the face!^^

[seffignoz]

girl was PWNED !!!!!!!!1111111111 :)

[MarcusCardiff]

What idiot fanboi wastes a Zero G flight to play with an iPhad.

Especially when there's a really cute girl there with you.

[detonart]

A quick advice:  Next time, try to use the orientation lock function.

[mestieriedoardo]

0:40 it changes orientation!

[julietmikealpha]

It's always funnier in zero g XD

[Dismal626]

how in the hell did they just turn off gravity?

[lawful82]

@Dismal626 just let an object (i.e. a plane or elevator) go in a free-fall, and everything IN it will experience zero-gravity condition. Hope it helps.

[Dismal626]

@lawful82 so they are in an elevator?

[MarcusCardiff]

@Dismal626

Search for Parabolic Flight and Vomit Comet.

Händ ihr das Video extra für Youtube gmacht ? Naja, guete Afang. Sicher es grosses Budget brucht :)

Also ... villicht wärs ja e Idee mit mier zämmezschaffe (ich bin zur Ziit de gröschti Schwiizer Youtube Channel.)

Leite das bitte a Euer Boss wiiter, oder halt die wos Säge händ bi Eu. Ich bin offe für e Zämearbet.

LG

@GoogleSuperstar

Kann dich beruhigen. Der Beitrag über Zero G (einstein 3.7.10) war billiger als zwei ganz normale Drehtage in Bern...

Privat habe ich auch einen Kanal bei You tube (schützi tv) wäre mir mehr gedient, das weiter zu verbreiten.

[GoogleSuperstar]

@Laurent98 Nicht so bescheiden :D Wir zahlen doch gerne dafür das er da rumfliegt :D

Bist Du Kameramann bei SF (schöner Job!). Leite Ihnen doch weiter, dass ich es ausserordentlich schätzen würde, wenn sie den grössten Schweizer Youtube Channel unterstützen könnten. Ich bin offen für eine Zusammenarbeit.

LG

[booboomcnuggets]

@GoogleSuperstar Ich werde glücklich sein, um nicht die Unterstützung Ihrer Gruppe

[SalsaLock]

Accelerometer.. the word says that! Is absence of gravity (acceleration force) how can it work??? Any accelerometer can't work! Stupid test!

I knew that without to do any test.

[kahuna3901]

1080p nice vid

[l3ifei]

awsome !

[spacko1990]

soo geil:-D

[BIESNAKER]

cool

[Pepouni]

haha! nice nice

[CaronbyCem]

pretty cool

[Techlology]

cool
