How to fight a fire or flooding on a Nuclear Submarine
Alright, this video was very interesting. When I was on the submarine I didn't really know what was going on as well as it seems here in the video. It was clear that Chief Charleton had planned out several demonstrations on how to handle casualties and was systematically walking me through them. For example, when I...
Navy SEAL Astronauts
Can you imagine being a Navy Seal, A Medical Doctor, and an Astronaut? Speaking to Chris and Jonny was quite the honor. I started out thinking a Navy SEAL was all about war and weaponry, and ended up realizing being a SEAL was more about teamwork and humility.Thank you for Supporting Smarter Every Day on Patreon!

This is one of those videos that I feel comfortable totally going to the next level because of your awesome support on Patreon.

(Patrons only can view this text)Have you ever had an opportunity present itself in a way that was hard to believe? This was kind of like that. About a year ago I was asked if I wanted to do a quick video with the Navy. They said they'd hire a film crew and go out to a specific ship and film some stuff, but it felt...

Pulling 7 G's in an F-16 & GOING SUPERSONIC with U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds! -Smarter Every Day 235
This video was the opportunity of a lifetime. When asked if I wanted to fly in an F-16, I said "Yes please, and there are some things I'd like to study. Can we try supersonic flight at different altitudes?" This is ultimately the thing that dictated that the flight would take place in Biloxi, Mississippi. I...
How Flocking Birds Make Amazing Murmurations (Boids Algorithm) - Smarter Every Day 234
I love this video so much. Ever since I met with Ben Eater so many months ago (end of last year) I couldn't wait until January when the birds would flock back to my area. This is one of those videos that goes together in your head LONG before you ever get a chance to make it. It was kind of fun to have a mental not...

Does anyone know MatLab really well? (and have time to help me this afternoon?)
I have an assignment that requires MatLab... something I don't know. The professor said I can work with others to figure it out. Is there anyone out there that's an absolute NINJA with MatLab? I could use some help. I can see it taking 2 hours or so.Regards,Destin

We made a gun detector

In today's political climate, a video like this is obviously going to attract a lot of people of ill intent.The goal here is to use technology to help save lives, all the while preserving the rights of the individual.

The Engineer That Worked on the Computer That Controlled the Saturn V - Smarter Every Day 223
Man... this one was really fun to make. Luke Talley is an American Treasure. It was very interesting to see his mind juxtaposed with Linus's.

160TB Server with Linus Tech Tips! - Smarter Every Day 222
Linus finally came by and helped me get my data storage game sorted out. It was pretty abysmal, so this is a huge development. I didn't mention this in the video, but I ultimately decided not to put the old data on this server. My thought is that if I only put NEW stuff on this server, I'm more likely to be saf...
I had no idea what to title this video. (I went with "Our Argentina Solar Eclipse Sunset Adventure - Smarter Every Day 221")
This is one of those moments where I'm SUPER thankful that you guys support Smarter Every Day on Patreon. This is one of those videos that I know won't go viral on the internet... but I really wanted to make it because it was such an important thing for my marriage. Tara and I really enjoyed ourselves on this t...
Should I release it on 2nd channel?
Hey guys,I made this quick video yesterday when I was at the Atlanta airport. It's a neat little thing I like to look at when I'm flying through Atlanta, but didn't know if it was appropriate to share with the wider audience. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8cUU-3nl2gLet me know what y...
