Bird Flight - Deep Dive #2 - Smarter Every Day 61

·Nov 3, 2024

So, what do you do to hold a bird? Hold on tight and don't be scared. That's right! Okay, so today, on today's deep dive here at Smarter Every Day, we're going to learn about bird flight. When I went to Peru and shot high-speed video, I learned a whole lot about how wings work. So, I got some birds, and we're going to study via playlist how bird wings work.

I'm going to put a link in the description; you can click it at any time and start this playlist. I'm going to show you videos from all over YouTube that explain how bird wings work. Okay, you ready to let yours go? Yeah? All right! 1, 2, 3, go! Very good!

So, the cool thing about this playlist is that you can pass it on to friends, and they can learn exactly how these things work. For instance, these feathers interlock in a very specific way. So when the bird downstrokes, he's capturing all the air, but on the upstroke, his wings actually unlock. Also, I'll tell you why this top feather is shorter than the others; it's pretty cool!

Are you ready? All right, here you go! Hold on tight and don't be scared! All right, let him go! But, JY, let him go fly!

All right, so today, take the deep dive with us! Click on the link in the top of the video description, start this playlist. If you're not in a good position to take the deep dive right now, then just chill out and wait till you get home. Wait till it's a better time to get back in the deep dive.

Yeah, you're going to get back in. Go ahead, you can take the deep dive! So what I have done today is I have brought all kinds of reports along with me on the boat, and my son here is going to… you're going to pull me?

Yeah? Yeah, you just pull the boat for me, okay? You just swim that direction. Where do they click to take the deep dive?

Up there!

Up where?

Up, up in the sky!

Where? Point to it in the sky!

I said in the sky! Right here, right here, right here!

No, up here! Up here!

Okay, that's where you click to go start the deep dive.

Okay, Dad!

All right, can I get back in?

Yes, you can get back in.

I'm sinking!

I'm just… my… you can do it! You're doing great! You're doing great!

I'm just sinking my feet in!

Why don't you hop in too, Dad?

Going to be too cold!

What do… just everybody just jump in it, huh? He's doing good!
