1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,120
the internet really is a curious thing because this whole idea started as a

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:10,960
joke to celebrate mr beast having 20 million subscribers he should plant 20

3
00:00:09,599 --> 00:00:16,960
million trees it's a crazy idea 20 million is a lot of

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:19,039
trees but then the idea took root mark

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:24,480
rober got involved and then a bunch of other youtubers got involved and

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:28,320
it looks like we're gonna do it so the arbor day foundation are experts when it

7
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:32,160
comes to planting trees quickly and efficiently and what's really exciting

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:37,040
is that they have agreed that during this fundraiser for every dollar just

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:42,640
one dollar we raise they are going to plant a tree so naturally then our goal

10
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:45,520
is to raise 19 million 999

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:50,000
600 and twenty dollars why that number you might say

12
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,760
well because in addition to making our own contribution to the campaign which

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:58,079
you can find the full details for down below guys please do give this is a

14
00:00:56,079 --> 00:01:03,080
really important cause we are going to be getting our boots and our hands dirty

15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:07,840
by planting this 380 trees of course though this is lined

16
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:11,920
as tech tips not some like you know shovel and you know

17
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,680
boots operations so we needed a techie way to plant trees meet the tree zuka

18
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:23,119
this is our extremely detailed and super professional design for

19
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:27,920
a tree planting cannon and i'm going to show you guys exactly how it works so

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:33,360
step one is to load the trees the original design for the

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,360
tree zooka was to

22
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:40,400
damn i guess i can't really get that out anymore can i the original design for

23
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:45,280
the tree zuka allowed for us to shoot just one tree at a time but we figured

24
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:49,280
hey if one is good then two must be twice as good step two

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,880
is to load our combustion chamber at the back of the cannon with acetylene this

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:57,360
is going to propel our trees at about 406 feet per second 40 feet per second

27
00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:02,159
lower than when it's classified as a firearm step 3 assume a comfortable

28
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:08,119
firing position this thing's going to give some kick thanks to the potato

29
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,119
that's also loaded into the barrel

30
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,160
step four have someone you really trust

31
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,160
whoa whoa

32
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:29,680
okay the design might need a little work did you not warn me because you assumed

33
00:02:26,239 --> 00:02:29,680
i knew or to with me

34
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:35,680
get a brand new virtual credit card number each time you use it when you

35
00:02:33,519 --> 00:02:41,680
shop with privacy click the link below and get five dollars off your first

36
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,720
purchase that's like free money okay so

37
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,840
obviously that wasn't gonna work

38
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:50,319
but we have a new plan and by the end of

39
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:54,080
this video the 400 sapling trees that we have loaded in the back of the truck are

40
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:59,440
going to be embedded in the ground one way or another the conventional way

41
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,280
to plant trees goes as follows

42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,400
you clear the debris from the area that you want to plant the tree dig a small

43
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,519
hole oh man that's nice easy ground i'm

44
00:03:06,239 --> 00:03:12,959
barely even gonna have to dig a hole just like make a make a gap pretty much then

45
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:20,080
unless your tree already has it integrated like ours does ours doesn't

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,080
it doesn't so we need fertilizer then

47
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,599
what's this you're going to want to insert some fertilizer into the hole this is some

48
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:32,319
frozen daikon yeah there we go then you just put the

49
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:36,080
tree into the hole level with the there yeah

50
00:03:33,519 --> 00:03:39,840
yeah replace any dirt that you moved and stomp all around it

51
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,560
to pack the dirt back in so it's nice and supported and upright

52
00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:48,640
and that's it the job's done now in some places you can use this tube

53
00:03:46,879 --> 00:03:53,360
looking thing to assist in your tree planting endeavors but here in bc the

54
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:57,680
tougher soil will jam them in an instant pretty much everyone we talked to said

55
00:03:54,799 --> 00:04:00,879
to just stick with a shovel great advice if you're some kind of cave

56
00:03:59,599 --> 00:04:05,280
we still think there's room for improvement for one using the shovel and

57
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:10,640
planting the tree it's not super ergonomic you're going to be bending

58
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,840
down constantly tiring yourself out who

59
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,599
needs that and two there's a key component missing

60
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:21,600
fun can you imagine how many people would sign up to plant trees if they did it

61
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,600
like this

62
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,440
everyone would sign up for tree planting if it was like this

63
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:32,400
let's talk about the improvements we've made to our tree planting cannon design

64
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:37,440
first we changed over from acetylene to compressed gas

65
00:04:33,919 --> 00:04:38,720
while acetylene does pack quite a punch

66
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:44,479
it is well an extremely explosive gas and one

67
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:48,880
of our key design goals here is to not die if something goes wrong

68
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:54,479
our main inspiration came from bill chernoff who as far as we can tell owns

69
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:56,000
the world's only potato chain gun and he

70
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:59,440
was kind enough to give us some advice on how to make an air cannon like no

71
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:06,080
other although we would have liked to create a magazine for automatic firing like his

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,880
cannon it isn't necessary for us to shoot quite that fast and apparently his

73
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:15,360
mechanism took a lot of tuning and prototyping to get just right so we

74
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:18,000
decided for a simple breech style loading mechanism

75
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:23,600
here we go which should still be fast enough for us

76
00:05:20,639 --> 00:05:26,880
to plant several trees per minute being able to reload quickly is no good

77
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,400
though if you don't have the muscle to back it up meet the muscle

78
00:05:29,840 --> 00:05:39,919
this tank holds compressed nitrogen gas at 2 000 psi then our solenoid valve

79
00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:43,039
right here controls the flow

80
00:05:39,919 --> 00:05:45,759
here it is this mini tank right here

81
00:05:43,039 --> 00:05:51,199
then another solenoid valve at the end opens up to fire

82
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,039
or as we call it make the fun happen

83
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:57,759
both of these solenoids are controlled by this simple electrical box right here

84
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:01,919
this little pressure release valve here will make sure that our pressure doesn't

85
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:06,560
get over 300 psi the limit of our solenoid valves and although by swapping

86
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:11,199
out a couple of components we could get much higher pressure i think you guys

87
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:15,919
are going to agree that it's got quite enough punch as it is are we armed right

88
00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:15,919
now

89
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:23,440
i'm firing my laser baby three two

90
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:28,350
one wow

91
00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:30,000
well that potato disintegrated

92
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,479
three two one go wow

93
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,240
let's plant some trees shall we

94
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:48,400
beautiful oh no i want to use the tube

95
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:54,160
i want to use the tube nope you have to line up the two okay

96
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,160
fine okay fire in the hole

97
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,039
give her one more

98
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,599
beautiful planted

99
00:07:09,039 --> 00:07:16,479
the actual amount of digging was basically zero and we've embedded our

100
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:20,400
our bit of frozen zucchini here right next to the roots this thing is is

101
00:07:18,479 --> 00:07:23,759
perfectly positioned for success right now

102
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:28,840
okay next round okay yep can i press the button this time sure can fire the hole

103
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,960
finger is numb okay

104
00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:38,880
hold on let me just widen the white in the hole here a little bit

105
00:07:37,599 --> 00:07:41,919
gorgeous ah ain't that a thing of beauty ladies

106
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,759
and gentlemen all right back it up

107
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,720
wait does the turning serve any purpose oh you were just having fun

108
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:56,800
okay all right so what all we got here is this uh potato potato beautiful a little

109
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:00,000
bit of frozen potato in there put that potato in there you're only at

110
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:03,599
like 90 psi right now you want to bring it around to like 250. oh

111
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,240
there you go fire in the hole

112
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:12,479
wow we definitely hit something that time

113
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:17,039
yep that was that was a root to only do like 90 psi or so this 90 or so okay

114
00:08:15,039 --> 00:08:20,160
quick press armed and for the hole

115
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:26,639
okay so i think the stem actually did end up a little damaged that time

116
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:31,360
but uh okay let's try it let's try that again here let's go maybe six feet this

117
00:08:28,319 --> 00:08:32,479
way i love that this one's bullet shaped

118
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,039
all right charging

119
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,719
whoa get a tree in there wow look at that

120
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,800
whoa this is so damn stupid let me just

121
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:48,560
loosen you up a little bit here you might have to shift just a bit you got

122
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,200
to use your sight there bud that's probably fine

123
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,399
that ain't gonna heal she ain't gonna make it past the winner

124
00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:02,160
there we're still learning we're still ironing out the details let's uh let's

125
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:07,440
do another what if we leaned the whole thing down and we muzzle loaded it

126
00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:11,440
so we put the pellet in from the end

127
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:14,160
and then we put the tree in from here

128
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:18,320
and then that way the pellet can kind of clear the path for the tree a little

129
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:22,320
maybe i'm not that far up listen to this guy all like well we did the

130
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:26,240
calculations and simulation and solid works

131
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:30,560
it actually kind of worked minus like the tree dying yeah the like the uh the

132
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:34,720
crater's about the right size so that actually brings us into something we had

133
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:40,240
wanted to discuss in this video um lockheed martin had the idea of carpet

134
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:43,680
bombing trees and youtube channel i did a thing actually made a great video

135
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,959
about rocket trees and we liked the idea but our concern

136
00:09:45,839 --> 00:09:52,000
was that it was going to be pretty difficult even

137
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:56,160
with the proposed solution of creating like a

138
00:09:53,320 --> 00:10:00,560
papier-mache or some kind of outer protective casing around each tree

139
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:04,480
because it's just a lot of force

140
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,040
also we didn't go that route because it would have been very time consuming to

141
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:12,399
create 400 paper mache bullets overall we don't

142
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:17,200
think that planting trees with a cannon actually makes a ton of sense especially

143
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:20,160
because there's so much stuff that you have to drag around with you but we

144
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:25,120
thought you guys might like some fun facts about our tree cannon uh it's got

145
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:30,880
an approximate barrel velocity of 140 meters per second or 460 feet per second

146
00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:36,240
an ideal angle of launch of 36 degrees a distance without drag of over 1.5

147
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:40,720
kilometers a distance with drag of about 600 meters i mean all of that is

148
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,839
basically just a guess since it's hard to say how

149
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,839
stable the flight of our projectile would be and

150
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:52,880
how much you know a hypothetical tree could change the drag coefficient etc um

151
00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:56,640
but we think it's safe to say that our projectile could go anywhere between 300

152
00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,959
meters and one kilometer so this was clearly more

153
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:04,880
about having fun than it was about making a practical tree cannon but i

154
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:09,279
don't want that to distract from why this is so important in the amazon we've

155
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,600
managed to destroy about half of the mature rainforests and tropical

156
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:18,720
deforestation contributes a staggering 20 of world greenhouse gas emissions

157
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:23,519
deforestation also has a wide variety of unpleasant effects like the land heats

158
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:28,720
up faster without a forest soil without roots embedded in it erodes

159
00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:32,160
faster dries up faster and contains less

160
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,920
nutrients for other plants oh and also

161
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:38,480
any animals that used to live in a forest that's gone

162
00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:42,640
they're all dead now but the thing is we aren't planting trees in the amazon

163
00:11:40,560 --> 00:11:46,959
we're up in canada so you might wonder what's the point of planting trees here

164
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:50,959
well half of the world's forest growth potential is actually found in just six

165
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:54,560
countries with canada being third on that list and when you're concerned

166
00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:58,399
about things like air quality and climate change growing new forests is

167
