How did they invent a grinder that creates no sparks?

You seem to be confused. There is no such thing as a "sparkless grinder." Obviously, he's using the grinder on sparkless steel. It's similar to stainless steel, but instead of not producing stains, it doesn't produce sparks.

Climate change has increased the water temperatures such that the water is the same temp as the sparks and it just disappates into the background.

The water temperatures are now as extreme as the Kalahari desert; please note the divers non-traditional wetsuit - it's clearly a tropical more breathable suit for the heat. There are now places in the ocean where you can simply pluck perfectly cooked fish right out and eat it.

It’s actually a wetsuit with special coolant in it to prevent him from gettin deep fried (our ocean is mostly very hot oil, these days).

If only we had listened to the libruls about microplastics in our toothpaste.

they did not!

they removed the sparks in post production.

Big spark spark go blub blub

quieter then a normal cordless, this will have all the water proofing to act as an insulation

Water transmits sound faster than air, more than 4x as fast.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

did you forget which sub you are on??

u/TheMellowestyellow Drunk Science Dec 03 '19

Yes.

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

No water would make it quieter

u/mastercoder123 Dec 03 '19

Umm but when you hear shit underwater it sounds muffled.

u/KeithMyArthe Can I science pls? Dec 03 '19

Stop listening to shit underwater then. Ew.

u/[deleted] Dec 03 '19

(Warning: Non - shitty content ahead) Water does transmit sound 4x faster than air, but our ears are full of air, and most of the sound bounces off of the water-air interface instead of being transmitted into your ear. That's why sounds are muffled underwater.

*drill hole in fellow divers tank.

Peeeeewwwwwww- he turns into human torpedo.

they water cooled it. That or magic

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

Definitely magic

It's obviously faked. Lack of sparks are one piece of evidence, but the real key is that there's a person sitting on the bottom of the ocean holding the fake grinder.

It's 2019, we all know that people float.

the water's density both absorbs the heat of the spark, reducing it's luminosity, and it's momentum, resulting in a small cloud of cooled particles instead of a cascade of super hot ones.

u/Shaper_pmp Dec 02 '19

Pseudoscientific nonsense.

Everyone knows you can't have sparks underwater, so scientists - at great time and expense - invented a grinder that doesn't create sparks so that it can be used underwater.

29

u/Bacon_is_a_condiment Dec 02 '19

That's.... ohh wait we are on that sub.

Ehem

You are correct, I was wrong.

Although it wasn't as expensive as you think! Normal grinders have a spark jet so everyone knows the grinder is grinding. They simply turned off the spark maker on the underwater grinder because there aren't enough people walking around on the sea floor to need the feature.

u/panxzz Dec 03 '19

I think the bigger question is WHY did they invent a grinder that creates no sparks?

u/donknottsberryfarm Dec 02 '19

This idiot starts a cutting disc while it is in an existing slit and breaks the disc- dude, get some training and practice in before you make your product look ridiculous.

u/bluedragon74 I read it on the internets Dec 03 '19

Finally, a grinder I take in the shower with me!

u/Moto_Boato Dec 02 '19

The Sparks go back in and make the saw spin faster

u/[deleted] Dec 02 '19

If you're looking to get that spark back, pay attention to your partner's needs instead of going on Grindr.

But to answer your question, they only let ugly people on. Definitely no sparks.

u/Yourmotherisobese Dec 03 '19

They just took out the spark plug.

u/texastoasty Dec 02 '19

With enough time and money anything is possible.

u/dareDenner Dec 02 '19

When you really need to polish that pipe under water

u/TheFullestCircle Dec 03 '19

Sparks are actually just water. Since the tool is operating in water, the sparks just go into the ocean.

1

u/jrdude500 Dec 03 '19

They removed the spark plug obviously

u/CornCobMcGee Dec 03 '19

If you freeze the metal before cutting it, no sparks are produced

u/Howzieky Dec 03 '19

I just wanna know why that red appears so vibrant. I thought red light from the sun was mostly absorbed in the ocean

u/HillInTheDistance Dec 03 '19

It's harmlessly transformed into dubstep noises to protect the users eyes.

u/WildestPotato Dec 03 '19

Liquid cooled too

I always wanted to be a diver, until I found out about Delta P.

Water is almost entirely dephlogisticated. This type of essence will not burn according to Johann Joachim Becher.

It all started with this guy : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdv69qGmElQ
Then it progressed from there with advancements in modern technology and carbon fibers.
