Hello. Today we're going to begin with a particular question. What is air? Now, that might seem like a little bit of a strange question. Why are you asking what air is? Well, it is a question that humans had to answer over a period of time. In order for us to sort of determine what something is, we need to observe it with our different senses. So let me ask you a question about air. How do you observe air? How would you prove to somebody, maybe a young child, that what is this thing called air or somebody who speaks a different language and they're trying to determine what air is, this word that you're using that they don't know in their language that they have another word for but they don't know. How would you tell somebody what air is? Well, let's talk about it from the context of your senses. How do you sense air? So let's work through some of the senses. Can you see air? Now, this is the hardest one. We're made of the hardest one. But this is an interesting one because air, unlike many things, is not easily visible in most cases. It's hard to see the air around us. It's usually transparent. We can see through it. Now, occasionally we can see some air. Perhaps we see interactions of air where there's a mirage and there's some differences in the air density that we talk about. Perhaps we can see stuff in the air like smoke or if we color the air a certain way with some sort of smoke or dye or something like that, then we can see the air. But usually air is a little bit difficult to see and that's why the question about what is air is a little harder to answer because you can't describe it easily in terms of your vision. Can you hear air? What does air sound like? Well, if I ask you to make a sound like air, go ahead and make one now. I'm betting it'll sound something like a whoosh or some breathing sound or some kind of sound like the wind. Usually this means this is the interaction of air with something that's moving. As the air is moving, it interacts with something, it crashes into something or we associate the sound of air with the sound of the motion of air as it interacts with things. Maybe you can even say the tinkle of some little wind chime or something like that that lends sound to air. Or if you really wanted to get theoretical, you could argue that air has the sound that all sound we hear is the sound of air. It's the interaction of air with your eardrums if you wanted to get really sort of scientific about it. Well, how about can we smell air? Well, air itself is really the means of which we convey smell just like it's the means that we convey sound. If we're trying to smell something, it's little particles that are in the air. We need air in order to be able to smell. When you breathe something in, you're smelling the air and what's in the air, whether it's the smell of your grandmother's cooking or the smell of something that doesn't smell very good, the smell of some garbage somewhere, that's stuff that's in the air that the air is composed of. Can you taste air? Well, taste and smell are very similar. They're related to each other in many ways and in some ways people could say that you can maybe taste salt in the air if you're near the ocean.  It's so akin to smell that it's hard to really argue about what the difference is between taste and smell. Maybe you can't taste air specifically or maybe you can, but we're usually not using taste to describe air that much. So here's the last question. Can you feel air? And this is, again, a matter of how is air interacting with you? Can you feel air? I'm sure you can. Take a deep breath. You can actually feel the air coming into your lungs or blow out. You can feel the air and if you put something in that air stream, you can feel it pushing on your hand. You can feel the interaction of the air as it's moving with your hand. This gives us all some evidence that air exists. We can observe this thing even though we can't observe it as we can many things. It's hard to see and we have to sort of observe the interactions of the air with other objects. There is some evidence that this thing called air exists. So then the next question is, is air made of stuff? The scientific term we use is matter. Does air have matter? It's out of stuff. Can we demonstrate that? Well, that's not too difficult to demonstrate. Here's one of the things. One of the things we know about stuff is that stuff matter takes up space. And I can take a balloon, fill a balloon and I can blow it up and when you ask me what's inside the balloon, we all say air. That's the stuff that we breathe in and we breathe out. Often descriptions of air talk about breathing. And so now I have this balloon and this balloon has there's something inside it that's taking space. And another way I can know there's something inside it is now I can feel it even though it's not moving when I push on it, it resists, it pushes back. And it pushes back in a different way than the balloon pushed back when it was empty. So we can sort of tell that there's something in there that is resisting that's pushing back. And that push, we know that air pushes or at least responds to our pushing. Another piece of evidence like that is I know I can easily blow up a balloon when I blow it here. But if I take that same balloon and I put it inside of a 2 liter bottle, let me go ahead and insert it into this 2 liter bottle here and I'm going to put the mouth of the balloon around the cap of the bottle. Hold on one second, let me complete that process. Apparently this is going to be a little harder than I thought. Okay, now you see there's a hole so I can blow into the balloon inside the bottle. Now I'm going to take the bottle and I'm going to attempt to inflate the balloon by blowing into the balloon again. Well now I'm able to do that. I can fill the balloon, but one of the things I'm noting here is it's very hard to fill the balloon. It's much harder than it was when I was blowing it before. Why? Well now you'd have to think about it. Well if the air is taking up some space this bottle is already full of air. And if I take the balloon and I try to put more air in the balloon but also in the bottle, there's no more room in there and the air that's in the bottle is resisting my ability to put it in more. So the air is pushing back. There is an interaction that we can observe or at least we can describe as being the action of this air in response to the action that I'm trying to do there. Another way to show that is if I take this and I squeeze this bottle, well it's kind of leaking now but you'll see that it's pushing the balloon out. Turns out I tore the balloon a little bit there. It's pushing the balloon out of, presses the balloon and tries to push it out of the bottle. So there's some evidence that air exists. There's some evidence that air exists from the perspective of there's some evidence that air exists from the perspective of it pushes. It reacts to our pushing back and forth on it. So I'm going to go over here and I'm going to go take a look here at this a little experiment here where what I'm going to do is we're going to take a look at a surface of water here. There's a surface of the water and we know this water is contained in this container. There's the sides of the container that are keeping the water where it is. Okay? So then the question is what about this surface here where the water exists? Why is there a surface? What's happening on that surface? Well the water, there's always so much water the water fills up and then it levels out and creates a surface here. You might not have spent too much time thinking about what it means to have a surface of water but can I change that surface? Can I manipulate that surface? I'm going to try something here. I'm going to take a little tube. Here's a little tube, okay? And this tube it's just clear if it's all the way through it's not a test tube with an end it's just a clear plastic tube with open on both ends. But I'm going to plug one end well I'm going to put that tube into the water surface and when you do you'll see that there is a surface inside the tube and then there's another surface inside the tube. So there's two different surfaces and if I wiggle it a little bit I can take advantage of the fact that water's a little sticky and I can create sort of a little difference in surface as the water kind of holds on there. Okay? But you'll see there's two different surfaces. If I move the tube up or down you'll notice there's a little difference in the surfaces but for the most part those surfaces are about the same place.  When I do that I am now able to do something slightly different. Now let's go down and look at that surface again if I look at that surface when I push down I can push and you can see that there is now different surfaces the surface that I had before is now down here lower there's a spot down there where I have the surface inside is different than the surface outside. The air that has been captured inside the tube is pushing down and moving the water surface so it's interacting with the surface of the water which means there's probably air also interacting with the surface of the water up here that's what's touching the surface of the water the water is actually being contained not just by the sides but also by the air at the surface Now notice I'm going to do the same thing but I'm going to leave that there I'm going to leave it plugged I'm going to lift the tube out wait a minute that water surface is also being lifted I can lift up that water surface but how am I doing that? Is air actually pulling? because there's air inside the tube but when I lift this up I'm keeping that amount of air inside the tube and I'm able to lift the surface of the water in another way I'm effectively pulling the surface of the water another way to think about this however is to think about at the moment if air was pushing here and it's pushing there at what point does it start pulling? well, if we think about the air inside is pushing and the air outside is pushing we can think about this a little bit like it's a seesaw or a teeter tot at the moment when they're even here at the same place the air inside and outside have the same amount of push but when I lift this up the air down here you'll notice this surface actually goes down a little bit I'm pushing more on the outside and when I go down I'm pushing more on the inside so we can think about this as pushes and pulls but the other way to think about this as pushes I'm pushing down more on the inside so it goes down and the water outside goes up and then when I reverse that I'm pushing more on the outside and less on the inside and so now I get a difference in heights where the inside is further up so this evidence of the air and water pushing that evidence of the air and water pushing is important to see the question, well we know this idea of pushing something called a force but we also know that anything that we've observed anything solidly observed has a special force where it's pushing down in this case everything's pushing down and we call forces that push down as a result of gravity we call those forces weight so the question becomes does air have weight and if it pushes down so does air have weight and if it does have weight how do we go about measuring that weight now before I answer that question I would like to ask another sort of question here if I am able to take the water inside there and plug and lift I can lift that water up well in this case I can only lift it so high because once I pull my tube out of the water it's all going to drain out but is there a limit to how high you could lift water up just using a tube by plugging the tube and lifting it up because you can see how people a few hundred years ago might say that would be pretty useful think about a well the water's down there I want the water up here and I lift the water up and if so how do I do that well that leads us to a story about somebody named Evangelista Torricelli and I'm going to move over here I'm going to talk a little bit about Torricelli's story here Torricelli was among the other jobs he was a scientist and one of his jobs though was he was also responsible for working and engineering in a mine and in the mines where he was was working one of his jobs was to get water out of the mine if you're a miner you don't want water in the mine you don't want the mine to be flooded so you have to pump water out of the mine you have to be able to take water out of the mine and at this point in our history our human history we had the ability we had learned about suction to decide something to create a vacuum and we would be able to create that vacuum and use that vacuum to lift air up but what Torricelli noticed with this creation of the pump is that no matter what they did if you had a mine let me go ahead and sketch something that looks a little bit like a mine here okay here we have some deep mine hole and there's water pooling down at the bottom of the mine and Torricelli and the people that worked with him would put a long tube down into that mine and they would remove the air from that tube and when they remove the air from that tube the water would come up the tube and they would be able to pour the water out of the mine but one thing that Torricelli discovered is there was a limit to how high they could pump they could not pump water any higher than 33 .8 feet I think Torricelli actually originally said around 34 feet but we've got a little bit more precise number now it was impossible for him to pump the water any higher than 33.8 feet now they could pump it into one pool then pump it into another pool then pump it into another pool 33.8 feet at a time but they could never get a single pump to pump more than 33.8 feet there was a limit to how much water you could pull so if you were around that time like Torricelli you might ask yourself why why is there a limit of 33.8 feet and Torricelli said well I'd like to explore this idea but I have an idea about how I could think about this and see he said I know of a liquid a special liquid the most dense liquid the heaviest liquid that we actually have and that liquid is mercury so what he said is I'm going to try something I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to take a long thin tube pretending like it's my mine I'm going to take a long thin tube and I'm going to fill that long thin tube with mercury I'm going to fill it all the way up to the top so it's filled with liquid mercury well mercury is liquid at normal room temperatures okay and then he said I'm going to take that now and I'm going to put that and cap it off I'm going to put it under a whole pool of mercury now at this time I don't think they were aware of how poisonous mercury is and so Torricelli was probably poisoning himself somewhat at this time but I'm going to make sure that the bottom I'm going to cap it I'm going to put the bottom of that tube into the pool of mercury and then let me make this bowl a little bit bigger I'm going to flip the whole thing upside down okay and he flipped it all the way upside down took the tube and so that tube was full of mercury and there was no air in the tube what Torricelli discovered when he did that is that the surface of the mercury didn't stay the whole tube did not stay full that there was a certain point at which the mercury lowered itself it could not go any higher than a certain level okay and he said hmm how high is that and he measured that level today it's about 76 centimeters or 29.9 inches now I don't know exactly what Torricelli measured alright but he found that there was a particular level that that um a particular level that the mercury would go to this was the first barometer as it turns out there's also one of the first recognitions here of what was that little space up there in the top that space up there there's no air in there what's in there okay it's essentially a vacuum now it isn't entirely a vacuum we could argue a little bit about the details of what's in there it probably has a lot of vapor of mercury inside but effectively there's nothing in there there's a vacuum in there and what we have is just a stack of mercury but the question is if there's nothing in there there's nothing to pull there's no air pulling it what is keeping the stack of mercury up and the argument here is well what's really happening there is a little bit again like our seesaw that but we have this big stack of mercury that's pushing down and it's pushing down on this water here but what's pushing down outside well what's pushing down outside is the air so the idea is there's a balance here between air and mercury that the amount of air pushing down or the air on the outside is pushing down just as much as the stack of mercury is pushing down on the inside that's the idea and that's the concept and that's the thought about how heavy air is that the air how tall is the air stacked up well if we think about air we can think about the air as being a stack of air now we don't really know it's everywhere but if we just look at where it's pushing on the surface of that bowl we can think about the air going up until it's stacked up as high as it goes to the top of the atmosphere whatever the top of the atmosphere means and this created idea of ok so the amount of air we have now measured the weight of the air of the entire atmosphere as compared to the weight of the mercury now how does this go back to our 33.8 feet of water well it's interesting mercury as it turns out is mercury is 13.56 times denser than water so if you take that 29.9 inches and you multiply it by the 13.56 you take that 29.9 inches and you multiply it by that 13.56 and then you also want to convert that from inches to feet let's see here we have 12 inches is one foot so in other words that gives us I believe about 2.49 feet multiplied by 13.56 and we end up with a number that I believe and you can check those numbers yourself is something around the 33.8 so the weight of the mercury in a column is the same as the weight of the water in a column which is the same as the weight in the column so it might seem a little strange that we're talking about weights in terms of heights that we talk about the weight of the mercury as being how high it can stack up before it can't be pushed any higher or the weight of the water at 33.8 feet as how high it can stack up before it can be pushed any higher or ultimately the weight of the air that we're measuring here how much air is stacked up above us up into the top of the atmosphere well those weights can change depending on how big of tubes you actually put together for example if Torricelli had instead of taking a long thin tube it had more mercury and he created a great big thick column of mercury well that would have been more mercury and more weight if Torricelli did that or if they did it with water you'll find it does not change the height to which that raises why? why is that? what is true about that? well in this particular case the main thing we're looking at is we're realizing that what happens is when we take that entire weight that weight is actually distributed over some space and if you take that area bigger and fill everything up above it then you will also add more weight and the relationship between those two things however will stay the same that when you make more area you will add more weight and there's a relationship between those two well we have a name for that relationship and that is called pressure pressure is a derived unit it's a relationship between weight because we will see later forces as applied to an area in this case it's the cross-sectional area or the area that's facing up the surface of the water or the interior area of the little tube and we will talk more about how we measure and how we use pressure in a future

The acting governor of Undo's state, Lucky Aydatiwa, has urged the people of the state to embrace unity even as they return the state to the path of accelerated progress. Aydatiwa stated these today during a state broadcast and his assumption of office as the acting governor of the state following the transmission of power to him by his principal who is on medical leave and the ratification of the move by the state assembly. The acting governor urged the people of the south-west state not to relent in their prayers for the quick restoration of good health and strength to Rotimi Akeridolu. Have culminated in today's address is a watershed in the annals of our experience as a people. It is not a moment of celebration, but rather a moment of sober reflection, a moment for us to really appreciate the collective budding of moving our state forward. The events of the past months have indeed challenged our love for our state and indeed democracy, which we all profess. As a government, we must appreciate the sovereignty of the people that voted us into office and we regret in no unmistakable terms the toll which this whole episode had inflicted on the psyche of the people. And the development of the state.

Martin Scorsese has brought some of Hollywood's grittiest films to life, but how has the Oscar winner himself lived over the years? Grab some popcorn as we go behind the scenes of the exclusive homes of Martin. From Queens to Beverly Hills and back again, this is a cinematic journey you won't want to miss. Martin Scorsese is one of the most acclaimed directors of all time, known for gritty films like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, and The Departed. Scorsese has been living in a beautiful townhouse on the Upper East Side of Manhattan for over two decades now. But before settling into his current New York City home, Martin lived in some different environments growing up and throughout his career. So let's explore a few of Scorsese's former homes and see how they reflect his life journey. When Martin was just seven years old, his family moved from Queens back to Manhattan's Little Italy neighborhood. They lived with his grandparents in a crowded tenement apartment on Elizabeth Street. Scorsese later said about Little Italy, there was an atmosphere of fear. The local authorities did not wear badges, but they have the power to tell you what to do. And there were rules. The first one was to say nothing. Though he didn't have much freedom in the tiny apartment due to his asthma, Scorsese found escape through films. He said, I was taken to the movies where I developed a great fondness for studio pictures. The family's TV also showed him classic foreign films multiple times a week, fueling this obsession. Growing up in Little Italy had a huge impact on Scorsese, shaping his worldview and creative interests. Later on, Martin lived in high-rise apartments with amazing views before moving to the Upper East Side of New York City. But he feels like living in these types of homes is not personal enough for him. He also tried living in lofts with beautiful spaces and beautiful light. The industrial downtown neighborhoods reminded him too much of the streets where he grew up. These days, Scorsese feels right at home in his Upper East Side townhouse, which he moved into almost 25 years ago. The 19th century mansion as a garden reminding Marty of Edith Wharton novels. He said the neighborhood has a small town feel to it, even with a busy avenue on the corner. The designer of his house is Cara Houghton. She helped in designing it and she made his home a safe space. The decor of each floor in his townhouse has a different mood, adapted to its function. The first floor dining room opens to the garden, and Scorsese wanted it to have a provincial country feeling. The fourth floor study is the director's layer. He works and reads there, listens to music, screens films, and watches a TV that he often keeps tuned to the American Movie Channel. Houghton's greatest challenge when it came to designing his home was the open living space on the second floor. The old dumb wadershaft, now an elevator, bi-sex it, and it couldn't be repositioned, so she created two separate reception areas, making the most of the natural light with pale wood floors, accrued walls, and recessed lighting. There's also a parlor of subdued Napoleonic elegance that can seat 10 or 12 for a screening. Also, there's a sophisticated library where there is a mixed upholstered sofa with an antique rug, a Victorian desk, a wall of bookshelves, and side chairs. The only artifacts in Martin Scorsese's house that were called Mean Streets are a bottle of grappa and a piece of turquoise pottery from Posatano on the sideboard in his dining room. His rooms are warm, decorous, elegant in a manly fashion, and unpretentious. So, after this whirlwind house tour, we'll wrap up this video, but before we go, answer this question for me. What is your favorite movie directed by Martin Scorsese? Let me know in the comments below. For me, I'm gonna have to say it's Goodfellas. And don't forget to like, subscribe, and follow me on Instagram. I'm Carer the Vampire Slayer, but if you'd like to check out another tour before we go, stay tuned for this look into the homes of the late and great Ray Liotta. Bye! In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. The world is mourning the unexpected death of the great actor Ray Liotta, who passed away in his sleep on May 26, 2022, while filming in the Dominican Republic. For more than 25 years, he lived in a stunning mansion in Pacific Palisades, California, and was still living in the same area despite selling this grand estate in 2020.  Ray Liotta was an actor and film producer who, despite having 126 film credits, was best known for his role in the renowned 1990 Martin Scorsese flick, Goodfellas, where he played New York mobster Henry Hill. Aside from that hit movie where he starred alongside Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Ray also was well known for playing Joe Jackson in the movie Field of Dreams. At the time of his unexpected death, Liotta actually had several upcoming projects, according to IMDb, including the Elizabeth Banks-directed movie Cocaine Bear, set to be released in February 2023. Ray was only 67 when he recently passed away in his sleep and he was in the Dominican... Ray was only 67 when he recently passed away in his sleep and he was filming in the Dominican Republic, the movie Dangerous Waters. Other details and the cause of death are not yet known but there seem to be no signs of foul play. Ray's last known public moments depicted happy times for the critically acclaimed actor, most spent with his fiancée, J.C. Nitello. Early in May, the pair was spotted in Good Spirits walking in Pacific Palisades, California, where Liotta lived after enjoying a meal at the Spruzzo Italian restaurant. The couple had been engaged since Christmas 2020. They were also spotted enjoying a meal together at a steakhouse in the Dominican just two days before his passing. J.C. also broke her silence about her partner's shocking death with a touching post to social media saying, My life these past couple of years have been nothing but truly magical. Ray and I share a deep love that I will cherish in my heart forever. We laughed daily and we were inseparable. The chemistry was wild in the best way. He was everything in the world to mean we couldn't get enough of each other. While I think it's safe to say that Ray will be missed dearly, at the time of his death it's reported that the actor had a mass and net worth of about 15 million dollars. Hey guys it's Kara back with another exclusive poster here on Famous Entertainment and in this one we're looking at the one-time homes, the late and great Ray Liotta. Don't forget to like, subscribe and hit me up on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video. In 1995, Ray bought his long-time mansion in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles for about 2.5 million dollars which was built just a few years prior in 1992. The residence was a three-story Mediterranean style home that boasted over 8,500 square feet of space with six bedrooms and nine bathrooms as well as many other upskill amenities. In case you're unfamiliar, Pacific Palisades is an affluent residential neighborhood. It took between the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Some highlights include Temescal Gateway Park full of hiking trails with sweeping coastline views as well as the sandy Will Rogers State Beach with a 22-mile beachfront bike path. Ray's long-time estate offered over three acres of land with sweeping canyon views from almost every angle and it was gated for a celeb-style privacy. A 20-foot grand entryway sets a stately tone for what's to come leading into expansive common spaces under beam ceilings. The great room inside the mansion offers an airy vibe with double height and wooden beam ceilings while the whole space is bathed in natural light also offering a fireplace. Other hallways in common spaces have mainly sleek light-colored marble flooring under foot while some rooms such as that great room boast rich-colored hardwood. Another room decked out in wood is this stunning and classic library which also serves as a den with its cozy fireplace and nearby there's a sprawling formal dining room with red accent wall and high ceilings overhead. The family-style kitchen was spacious with a central work island that also contained the upscale stove top and range while we can also see there are a total of four ovens stacked on one side of the room. There's even a bonus casual eating area combined with the kitchen too. This space flows into a more laid-back family room with TV, large stone fireplace, full bar in one corner and sets of French doors leading outside. Rey's former master suite looks as if it's out of a five-star resort with its breezy private terrace and separate sitting area furnished in plenty of white. Not to mention the all-white ensuite bath is even more impressive with the soaking tub under soaring ceilings and sunny windows, separate glass shower and double vanities. Aside from the spacious guest rooms there was also another level in the mansion with red walls dedicated to being a rec room or games room. The lot at Rey's house was said to be the largest in the neighborhood of the Palisades Highlands where it was located and it even came with conceptual plans for a tennis court guest house and a second swimming pool. The terrace estate boasted a palm tree line swimming pool and spa with covered lounge chairs surrounding it and lush gardens with paths were all dotted over the property. One garden here even had a cute and romantic bridge surrounded by plantings while there was even a space to dine al fresco out back. Despite how happy Rey was at his fortress he first tried to sell this place in 2014 asking over 6.5 million dollars for it, a price that would prove to be too much for the market at the time. He decided to keep the home, continue living there and in 2019 try once again to sell. But this time for even more at over 7.7 million dollars, again no one bit. He had lowered the price significantly and put it back on the market after that and finally in May 2020 Lyoda sold the home for 5.1 million dollars. Despite selling that glorious mansion, Rey was still reported living in Pacific Palisades but there's little known about his other home. Aerial views show another Mediterranean style mansion with features like a grassy lawn and sleek pool and spa which is said to be the other Pacific Palisades house that he bought in 2003. If this is the home he continued to own he had paid 2.7 million dollars for the estate and it boasted five beds and five baths within 6184 square feet of space. While old listing materials don't show photos of the home say the house is custom built with views of both the ocean and the mountain vistas. Also throughout the mansion there were limestone floors, soaring ceilings, crown moldings and recessed lighting. Other highlights included a chef's kitchen with maple cabinets, granite sensor islands and a breakfast nook as well as a master suite with a fireplace, balcony, two walk-in closets and luxury marble bath. While it appears that despite Rey Lyoda's untimely death he was enjoying his final days making movies and spending time with his fiancé. You can also see he had some beautiful homes in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, an area he had lived in for more than 25 years. After seeing Rey's one-time homes what did you guys think? Be sure to let me know your thoughts on the acclaimed actor's homes down below. I know Rey will be dearly missed not only by his loved ones but by his fans and the film world. Certain his movies will be enjoyed for years to come. Thanks for watching this video. Don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you all next time. Bye!


This is Alex coming to you from my makeshift studio in Wenyu House in North Carolina. This is an Ingersoll Sargent and Greenleaf lock. The lock itself has an Ingersoll lock core in it. It's a padlock that was made by Sargent and Greenleaf in the United States. It's sort of a British American collaboration. I had it out because I had this locked on one of my storage pods that I was using when I was moving across country. I figured if I'm going to put locks on my pod, I might as well have the best. I have some bigger locks and some batter locks, but the little holes on the locking bolt on the pod would only accept this. I guess it's like a three-eighths shackle. It would not accept a half inch shackle. So my big SMG Medico powered locks would not fit there. Ironically, this lock is probably a hundred times stronger than the door of the pod itself. One thing I'll point out, this did not have rust on it when I got it. Probably six months ago off of eBay, possibly from one of you, I don't know. But it did develop a little bit of rust, despite not being in a whole lot of weather, I think. Because the pods are shipped supposedly in closed trucks, but where the chrome plating had shipped off, it did rust there. A tiny bit of rust residue, probably also from the shackle and the body. But overall, I mean, this thing has probably made it a stainless steel. So I don't think any structural problems are going to happen there. There we are. Now, this lock is actually patented by Ingersoll, as I said, made by SMG. The key, which is here, indicates that it is a government issue lock. Well, my camera skills have not improved. Here we go. Government issued locks. So you can see this, as you would say, do not duplicate on this side. If we flip it over, you can see this letter R here. I looked up this key on Ingersoll's website to see if it could get copies. And sure enough, the R series, you cannot get copies. It's restricted even today. Now, I have the lock partially disassembled. When I got the pod back, the thing was locked on there.  You can see pretty well at an angle. And I was like, oh dear, what have they done to my beautiful lock? Turns out what had happened is that these two little screws, which, frighteningly, are all that hold this bottom plate onto the lock, had worked their way loose, probably due to the fact that I had earlier disassembled it to take a look at the locking mechanism. And I don't think I had quite the right wrench to tighten these properly. So it's probably my fault. These appear to be hardened steel. I don't think they really pose a security risk, although if I were designing it, I might have made these a little longer, but whatever. The lock itself is made from laminations of, I believe, stainless steel. See, I mean, it's just finished down. You can see tiny little, there we go, tiny little divots in one or two places. I guess those are the rivets holding these together, but it wouldn't surprise me if these are also welded or glued or something, but that's not coming apart. Now, I think the coolest part of this lock is this right here. This is the lock core. I have to give you an idea of how big this thing is. So that's like about an inch and a quarter across. Pretty big. Ingersoll still makes these locks. Actually, they make a lock that looks very similar to this lock mechanism itself, which is pretty unique to these guys. The Japanese company, if I can get this open. There we go. MIWA kind of copied it, one of their models. So this is the lock core. As you can see, it's massive, massive thing. We like to talk about actuators. There's an actuator that's almost certainly hardened steel. So there would be an unlocked position. That would be the unlocked position, the ball bearings here. There's a gasket to keep water out. Ball bearings are down inside there with grease on them, as you can see, I'm already getting my table dirty. But that's not the cool part. The cool part is this. Let me zoom in. You can see this better. So the way this works is this is a sidebar. And when the key is fully inserted, the sidebar can fit down into this groove here. It's a pretty hefty sidebar overall, I'd say. It's a piece of what looks like machined brass protected by this hardened steel front plate here. So actually, this little plate here doesn't matter because you'd have to get through probably an eighth of an inch of pretty hard steel there to get at it. This is held in by a roll pin. It looks like the lock itself. Now inside here, what runs the... Let's see if I can... So you can get a good look. When I move the key, see the gates? Are they all aligned right now? So that can go in. Okay, so as I remove the key, you can see those gates moving around. And you might see yourself, ah, it's a waiver tumbler lock. Well, sorry guys, it's not. This is actually technically a lever lock. So here are the levers. And as the key... Let's see if I can get this right. As the key goes in, you can see there I'm pressing on this lever. It presses up. So this top bidding would press up on the edge of say this lever here. How well is that showing up? It's okay. There's that lever. If I turn the pick around and press on the other side, there's five more levers on the bottom. So total of ten. So you can see I'm running... I'm actually pressing on several of them, but I'm pressing on these guys here. So the key goes in. There are little things, little bits of these levers that protrude into the keyway. They interact with the bidding. And then on the other side of the levers, let's see if I can push one by hand. Maybe not. Just take the pick back in. On the other side of the levers, are the gates, these little gates. And so... Let's see if I can... There we go. So this one right here, you can see the gate is pretty close to a line with center. And so as the... as the key moves around in there, it brings all these gates into alignment. So there's ten total levers, five on one side, five on the other. These are notoriously difficult to pick. I've seen one or two people, maybe three pick these on YouTube. And after quite a lot of trouble, I've played with it a bit and decided that it's... I'll probably have to wait till a little later in my career. Very, very fiddly to pick. Not a lot of room to work in there. Despite how big it looks with the warding and everything and how close these are together, it's very easy to manipulate the wrong ones. But I just thought this was one of the most beautiful locking mechanisms I'd ever seen. Took me a while to figure out how to get it out when I first got the lock, but of course it's the first thing I did was take it apart. But just a very nicely made lock just to complete the story. That sidebar interacts. Well, that sidebar grabs on to these notches here that are milled... They appear to actually be milled into this final constructed stack. And then way down in here there's two little ball bearings. But you can't see. Anyhow, very cool lock. There's a close-up of the logo. Let's see. Ingersoll. Some of them say I think the faceplate says patent number on it. If you look that up you can see that's actually a patent on the lock body, not on the locking mechanism itself. So the U.S. government or S&G actually licensed the design for this lock body. I've also seen, I think, a numerical lock, but I don't know if that's accurate. Licensed that from Ingersoll. And obviously this core. You can buy locks for your house. You can buy door locks with this mechanism. And they're actually pretty affordable for what it is. Pretty high-security lock. I doubt you could bump this. It occurred to me after I filmed the video that you might like to see it actually working fully assembled. So here it is locked up. A little bit of play in the shackle, but I can assure you with those ball bearings and the other tolerances in there you're not going to care about that jiggling. So the key goes in here. It rotates one half, a little over one half turn. It's actually about a third of a turn. The shackle comes out and it actually comes all the way out. And interestingly you can put the shackle back in either way you like. Lock it up. It seems like a trivial feature but when I was putting it on the pod because of the incredibly tight space here to get the bolt in which is barely fit. It's actually really nice that the shackle comes out all the way because you can put it on your lock or whatever you're locking and then slide the shackle in there with your fingers actually a little big for that. Lock it up. And there you go, not going anywhere. You can imagine if that's in a nice high security with one of those big chains or high security hasp or something you're not getting in there without breaking something else. This guy's not going to be your point of failure. Not a picking video but just I think a really cool lock and I don't know exactly what time frame these were used in but I'm going to suspect the 50s based on the patent numbers and things like that in the 40s and 50s. So gorgeous lock very secure and it kept my personal belongings safe and out of the elements and away from would be these all the way across the country. So thank you S&G and Ingersoll and thank you for watching and stay tuned for more videos please subscribe if you like my work and as always thanks for watching and please keep it legal.
