Sending The Internet Through Water So I Can "Surf" The Web

We've spent so much money laying trans-oceanic internet cables when all we needed were alligator clips into the ocean!

Watching this video helped me realize that my internet is actually worse than transmitting it through water.

This takes the meaning of "You have dog water internet" to another level.

He literally has insane amount of unbelievable topics to cover every day

Jeff-"Max why you weren't online yesterday?"
Max-"I forgot to pay the water bill"
"What?"

"So i can surf thr web"
Dads: 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“I cut this cable”
Looks like you chewed through it 😂

Question: If you were to add more salt, would it make the internet faster or will nothing be different?

This guy is over here answering all the questions we didn't know we even had.

When is my VPN gonna let me select “Pacific Ocean?”

"Why is your ping so bad?"
"Sorry i accidentally ran the router cable into my water line"

This can happen naturally with cables in the ground being cut/damaged, they can have variable amounts of resistance and interference based on the amount of groundwater which translates to better/worse service depending on the weather. As some other mentioned though, please don't ever purposefully do this, interference ANYWHERE in the system can potentially f up a decent area depending on what you do.

Gotta say, I love these experiments and such, they have really peaked my interest in science and just how things work in our world and the overall universe. Keep it up!

NASA: "accidentally dropped internet cable on the ocean"
Everyone:

I am a CS engineer, i knew it would work but still 🤣 i was amazed to see it like a kid , your videos are always so engaging

Imagine if he just instantly short circuited the entire world’s internet…

"we add salt to this water"
*Starts crying*

This is the most nerdiest and scientificest dad joke i have ever seen

Most internet outages are either due to technical issues, or digging accidents. If we had inspectors at every digsite, this could be prevented.

"Damn, why is the latency so damn high today?!"
Meanwhile the neighbour with your internet cable :

Man you always take things to next level 🔥

This brings me back. Did anyone else have those little circuit pieces that you could arrange on a board as a kid? I remember losing the board and using a glass of water to transmit the electricity.
That board was probably what got me interested in coding and engineering.

The little planktons that finally get to watch TheXvid: thank you kind sir🙏

What if you make the salinity of the water super high by warming it so it absorbs the salt better, how high will the speed be?

He spent his day and loads of effort to make a dad joke.
This is the man we should all aspire to be.

I wonder the max distance this would work at. Interesting that most underwater cables might have breaks but not far apart to disconnect.

"Aye bro your ping is trash"
"Sorry mate, usin a water dish for me cable"
" *YOU WHAT* "

Please never stop doing these projects ♥️

I’m thanking Dr.STONE for the knowledge I got before watching this video. They made the internet and sent their wires through the ocean. So this is a great way to try that at home!

I like how the internet transmitted through water is still better than my internet connection

He went through so much to get it working just for a pun 😂

Imagine having a signal that can connect internet reliably and fast thru the ocean imagine all the free wifi from the sea on beach lol

The attenuation of the signal would suffer incredibly if you were to use this medium, but yeah saltwater is conductive.

That's so weird, I literally had a thought about transmitting data through the sea yesterday 😂

You'd look like an absolute boss if you found yourself in a situation where the cable was damaged and someone needed the internet desperately with no other solutions and you pulled this on em. Chances of a situation like that actually occurring is very low tho unfortunately lol

Fun fact: I live in Brazil and his internet going through water is actually way faster than my normal internet 🤡

That's awesome! But... As a radio nerd, it's terrifying to think of the sheer volume of radio noise that must be generating, like wow... You would struggle to use radio equipment around it is my theory, maybe something to test?

This is good news. It's a relief to know if there was a major flood effecting the world, we'd still have internet access

This should have come with more of a warning. I can already see someone shocking themselves doing this

I find it absolutely insane some of the stuff you do and the things you show us. Imagine this but on massive scales. The world could be changed in monumental ways. If we can do it at home we can do it on a hyper refined large scale and apply it to a truly massive number of things

I had a slow internet connection (2mbits/s) for like half a year. But it varied a lot depending on the weather. Turned out the signal was transferred in partly through the soil, since some cables were damaged due to roadwork.

I love that science is essentially tha shit that you do when you are a kid, but with actual data, explanation and safety lol

Somehow even when connecting to the internet with water, his internet is still better than mine

Now splash the water and see if it gives lag. Blow bubbles in it!

So this is how school computers were connected to the internet

Lol. Imagine spending years on sending internet through the ocean to make a pun.

Imagine being the parent of this guy when he was small lol

I l love the experiments this guy does.

This dude must be like the coolest dad to have ever. Lol

Next Video: So today we're gonna be testing if you can connect two wires via interstellar space travel. So first, you put 1 tablespoon of salt on the hyperdrive-

As a low voltage technician I'm just thinking how pissed the FAA would be to see this video lol! But seriously don't ever do this!

Oh wow. That's still faster than my internet 😂

now thats the definition of “wireless” im looking for

There was once a time where that internet speed was faster than what I had.

Can you do a speed test before and after. Also can you test how far apart the wires can be in water

Alternative title:
"Never replace your broken/damaged cables ever again"

So my internet goes off when "it rains too much", while this guy's internet LITERALLY goes through water!

Taking surfing the internets to a whole new level

The question I couldn't ask my teacher. What if we use ocean water to transfer Internet? It will be better than optical fiber.

We always knew it’s a series of tubes, now we know what’s happening inside

Some how when he puts his cable through water it is still better than my internet

I just imagine we're gonna be seeing small coaxial tubes on WISH claiming noise free Internet, high speed and security improvement with the power of salt water.

This guy never runs out of ideas!
Stay Curious!

Wait so all those advertisements for “cutting the cord” showing literal scissors about to chop a cable were actually legit

So this is how I can talk to my friends over seas! Awsome

I am quite impressed he still uses a coaxial cable instead of fiber optics

"This one trick your ISP doesn't want you to find out"

It's free floating everywhere and just needs a funnelled direction to catch it?
Water is truly amazing🤩

The internet is literally the real life equivalent of the spirit realm... It's like there but it's not exactly together with the physical world...

I was a cable electrician. The copper wire has a small current running through it. The white stuff is called dielectric and actually carries the signal for cable and internet. Think about it as a train and rails. The copper wire is the rails while the dielectric is the train. The salt water helps the dielectric complete the signal. However if you cut out a section of the dielectric out and leave the copper wire intact there will be very little signal speed if any at all. It will in fact send a signal to the cable provider there's a problem in the line and a lineman will put a device on the tap (box on the wire that splits signal to houses/apartments/etc) that will last about 30 days. Then your cable and internet won't work well and you'll call for a guy like me to come out and fix it. I'll spend anywhere from half hour to 5 hours to locate and fix the problem before I take the device off. Depending on where the problem is located depends on the length of time it takes to fix. We usually start at all the fittings and replace them. Then run a test and see if the problem is fixed. If not we have to start checking lines, sometimes just replace lines throughout the house. Mice and other rodents are a cable guys best friend for giving us work, but we hate them as the damage is usually in the walls.

He took the surfing the web thing too seriously

My question is, how far can these cables be from each other and still work?

I like how the internet speed he has using water is the same as mines lol

Wait. So you can technically make oceans into a huge wifi box?

Bro just took dad jokes to another level 💀

His upload speed through water is stronger then mine most days lmao

Awesome experiment. But I'm more than certain you had crazy insane noise ingress back feeding through the plant to the Node. 😂 Definitely not good for the neighborhood service.

I think I now understand the reason I'm such a science nerd

Does this mean we can just pump the internet into the ocean?

That moment when saltwater internet is faster than my office internet...

Puts a whole new meaning to micro waves lol

Sad thing is his water connection is still faster than my cable internet

Me: Man, my fibre optic line is so freakin' cool!
Action Labs Guy: You were saying?

I'm not even gonna bother explain why this doesn't work in practice to those that think we can just put alligator cables into the ocean. Nice experiment but an expected outcome really.

Reject 4G/5G
Return to *_Water LAN_*

This dude has better internet when using water than I do on a good day.

This guy is freak of nature I love it mad scientist status

legend says he actually uploaded this video using his underwater internet

When they told you to surf through the Internet, this is what they meant

Would be interested to see the comparison of different salts. You could probably just derive that data mathematically from their different conductivity characteristics though. But that beyond me though.

Imagine having wireless internet throughout yourl home just fully submerged under salty water

What if we just had really giant cable dipped into the ocean instead of on the sea bed?

Came for the science, liked for the pun. It was a good trip

Today we’re going to see if we can use a toaster in water

Note: *DON'T DO THIS AT HOME.*

Imagine the noise he’s feeding back into the cable plant. Later that day he was disconnected from the plant.

Funny thing is, his internet speed while being connected in water is still faster than mine

Wow, that test result is even higher of my cabled internet connection

That internet is still faster than mine 😂😂

The most subtle product placement at the end there😂
