Tornado Tree Mind Twister

·Nov 3, 2024

Okay, smart man with your smart physics degree, let's say your state gets ravaged by tornadoes. You go to the local EMA volunteer center; you volunteer. You and some buddies go out with chainsaws and try to do the best work you can to help people.

Okay, here's the plan: we're gonna help this gentleman out on Saturday, but we got to figure out how to do it. So watch this video and figure how to do it right.

Alright, so we got a tree balanced on a tree that is straddling a tree. Just stand right here under it and cut this tree off right there. Yeah, right there on top. Just got to run out of the way, maybe take the pressure off and maybe collapse the rest of it.

What this is, is a mechanical dilemma here. It's like some kind of brain puzzler or something. Definitely come around this way, come around.

What, this tree not down to the driveway? Yeah, what do you do with that? Well, tell me. I've got a day to figure it out. I can't get heavy equipment to where he's at; all I have are chainsaws and ropes.

Afterwards, go ahead and subscribe. Hopefully, we'll use your advice to do it in the safest manner possible. We'll make a video in the end to show you how we end up solving this problem. Thanks, have a good day. [Music]
