 Remnants of a power park. We're here with total wrecking and they are clearing out this site You may have seen the site before we were brought here previously to film the implosion Which was the main event of clearing out this site, but it's over a year later. They're still working There's a lot involved when clearing out a site like this. It is these were all buildings Oh, they blew it up man. There's a lot of a lot of mess Remember when your mom would make you clean your room when you're a kid and like how long did that take? Like a year and a half. Look at how big this room is. It's a big room It took me so long to clean up all this. We brought back here today because they've encountered a pretty unique problem These were our circulating water lines They moved the cooling towers that were over here They were the pipes that are nine foot in diameter that took water from the power block over to the towers to cut down So they run into a road so we have to fill them in to make sure they never destroy the roads So but we need to know how much material they have to bring in to do that We're gonna look inside the pipes Maybe you can do it. You don't think you can get in there. Oh, I can get in there It's getting out and be a little getting back out There's a section that they can't get to because there's road and railroad tracks going over it So they actually need to backfill those and what we're here is to get a look on the inside so that they know How much material they need to fill it up And if there's anything else in there that they need to know about before they start the filling process So we have like a screen. Well, then we'll be able to plug it into our goggles and they'll give you a live HD video will that record it? Yeah, the drone actually goes down so you don't lose the footage So we'll be able to record multiple I'm not gonna send like an action camera because I don't want to risk that the goggles that I'll be wearing will record on to The goggles themselves a 720p image and that we get no matter what so even if the drone goes down And it's gone. Well at the very least get that 720p The goggles are a much better resolution than they were when you came out last year Also, we were using an analog system. So now we've got new digital systems have come out like very recently And it's like you haven't noticed any experience lag because I know you said that was a big part of the reason you use the analog That's so funny to remember that. That's so yeah, we did not prompt him on that question That well that was always the biggest problem with digital before because this wasn't the first time they tried to do digital But before when you did a digital or HD There was big latency problems and now it is a little bit more Than the analog system the analog is technically still a little faster But it's very marginal and the benefit to having that visibility It's like it's crossed that that trade-off and the image is so much better Like I think I can fly better with it. Even if there is maybe one or two more milliseconds Too long it's it's still pretty long compared to how small it is maybe this entrance will be more clear It's not possible not flying through okay, so we got to turn around and come back. They said it's completely Blocked off on this side. So we pretty much have to go down the tunnel Turn around and return definitely a lot harder if you got to turn around and come back I really think we're losing the drone today. Yeah, I I totally think we're losing a drone probably mine the height is really concerning We've got these you know what's hooked up with led lights because it's also gonna be dark in there So edwin just got here. This is one of the best pilots in florida. We brought him out here We want to have all the skill available to us. This is looking like it's gonna be a pretty difficult mission Yeah, we might just make this edwin's problem to deal with Just don't lose our drone because they can't send anyone down there because this is like a slide right So they've excavated it as much as they can but like you couldn't send a person in there because it could just Yeah, bury him alive, right? Look at that nerves of steel That's why we brought him here So this is the dji smart controller and it's the device you need if you want to get video out onto a screen from the goggles So this is going to plug into edwin's goggles. We just plug this usb in right here Man, how well can you see bring it out? Let's have a look and we can do another run if they want if they need it Oh my god, you made it out. That was insane. Oh my god. That was insane Oh man, look at all the mud you got on this That's crazy. It's back. You made it back. Let's go have a footage review Well, could you see the light worked really well, dude, but all I could see was a long ass hallway just Uh-huh, just nothing but darkness at the end. That's a scary hallway of water That's pretty badass. Dude, you went deep in there. Is that enough? Is that a good view? Dude, that is a scary view coming out of there Yeah, and later you were coming backwards and then you rotated like right at the last minute before the rebar I was scared to turn around You're scared to y'all in there because it's so it's so hard to y'all without tapping the throttle by accident And if you start drifting towards the wall like and you start over correcting and stuff because it's kind of So the other thing they want to have us do here is get some aerial flyovers So they want to show some kind of before and after so they have drone shots before the demolition started So we're going to get just some flyover shots Then we get some freestyle we're just going to make a round around the entire site They've got a couple of zones that they want to get footage of we're going into the pipe and doing that inspection We didn't want to risk any Action cameras, so we were just using the footage that came straight off the air unit or was recorded to the goggles Now that we're not really going to be flying in a pipe that we might not Recover from we're going to be throwing some action cameras We've got the dj out osmo action here so that we'll actually get like a good 4k image And we'll just give you the screen and you can just tell us where to steer I got fly around to see the building on your right there. We'll give you a spin around there you go I told you everything you can see you in this area. That's it. Okay. Can they get a quick flight here to get some Have that again Between the grapple and the cab of the crane Dropping down and down. This is not something that they mentioned we're going to get to do today But apparently they want some footage of this machine going and I'm just wanting to dive it as they drop the ball I think that would be so cool Gosh, that was so sick over there and telling that if you want to go want to get a battery pack ready We just got approval to do a crane dive. He said the guys were dying to try to crush a drone or something What did he say? Yeah, yeah, when we first got here is like no, they're not going to go for it And they see the quads and they're like, well, I mean, maybe Maybe Do it after all actually because I want to crush that thing. No, I told him next time he picks it up pick it all the way to top The puddle it was awesome my drone. Yeah, I went through the splash and I was like don't die Don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. I went straight for it full commit No way you got it back a couple of new propellers and he's good to go. I think Thanks for watching the episode We did a lot of crazy stuff at the construction site and we didn't lose anything. So that's really good I not a single drone was lost. I got mine back I was fully prepared to lose one the score is that you're actually plus one drone, right? Because you should have lost that one. I got a couple extra cat lives today. Yeah Well, this is awesome I think it's really cool to get to use drones and kind of like a unique way to help perform some Inspections and get some of the aerial shots that they want to show the progress on this excavation A big shout out to toll wrecking for bringing us out here Thanks to DJI for sponsoring this episode digital system did great with all the long distance flying that we had to do If you guys enjoyed this episode make sure to hit the like button to let us know you had a good time Thank you guys for hanging out. I'm the drip and let's fly our sea and we'll see you guys next time
