| 0:07.0 | Hey, everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of Shut Up a Second. |
| 0:09.7 | I'm Cass, Hayden's present. |
| 0:11.7 | Hello. |
| 0:12.2 | And today we are joined by a very special guest, host of Two in the Think Tank, |
| 0:15.5 | Alistair Trambley Mitchell. |
| 0:16.9 | Hello, everybody. |
| 0:18.3 | I'm so sorry. |
| 0:19.3 | I went away with too much energy. |
| 0:22.6 | I went for too long a hello. |
| 0:27.6 | Everyone was thinking it. Yeah. And today we're talking about submarines. |
| 0:46.2 | Bloop. Blue. Loop. If you are in a submarine and ATB, I'm relying on your knowledge as an engineer, which you are one, I think, in a way. |
| 0:47.5 | I technically am. |
| 0:48.8 | Yeah, submarines have an engine. |
| 0:49.6 | That's his domain. |
| 0:50.2 | Oh, true. |
| 1:11.4 | If you are in a submarine, you're underwater, and then you have a major engine fail, do you just die? Like, are you just fucked? Damn, I don't. I don't 100% know all the buoyancy things, but I assume. Because it feels like you're just fucked. I assume there's got to be something to do with, like, taking on water and letting out water. Oh Oh yeah, there must be. I learned how it worked. |
| 1:26.9 | I looked up how submarines work for my facts section. Oh, this is so great. Is it too early to get stuck into it? It seems like it is, but let's do it. It would be wonderful to be on topic for a lot. I could not work out how submarines did that. And so... Sink and float. Yeah. I mean, the sink So if you're a submarine |
| 1:30.0 | You're on the top of the water |
| 1:30.9 | You weigh less than that. Sink and float. Yeah. I mean, the sink. Sink's easy. |
| 1:28.2 | So if you're a submarine, you're on the top of the water, you weigh less than the water, right? And then if you want to sink, you start letting water in. You open up these vents. Air leaves these vents. It's called the... Ballast. Is it ballast? It's called the ballast. Whoa, look at me. You let water into the ballast. |
| 1:45.7 | Water into the ballast until you sink, sink, sink, and then when you're happy, you just stop letting water in, right? Yeah, I mean you... But there's another important feature called the trim. The trim. The trim. Now, trim is keeping the submarine level, right? Oh yeah, I never thought about that. |
