AISubs v3.7
In a strong wind, you are about to be blown away by an umbrella.
This scene is often seen in typhoon broadcasts and others.
When you are holding an umbrella,
haven't you ever been blown away by a strong wind and got a fuzzy feeling?
If you have various conditions, you may be able to fly in the air with an umbrella.
The place I chose to solve such a mystery is
the southernmost part of South America,
in Argentina, Ushuaia.
There, typhoon-like winds blow all year round.
Can you fly with an umbrella?
I was wondering who would be suitable for this.
Beep, beep!
Huh?
Beep, beep!
It's not "huh".
Beep, beep!
Everyone on TV!
Speaking of "one drop",
yes, it's protein.
Shall we play rock-paper-scissors with passion?
That's enough.
With this "one drop",
you finally have a family of your own.
Huh? Could it be "one drop"?
It's not "one drop".
It's "one drop".
"One drop", yes.
This wind,
this wind,
it's blowing you away.
Look.
Wow!
I didn't realize it.
Amazing.
What does this mean?
This?
With this,
fly over here.
What?
Go to Argentina.
Argentina?
I heard there are places that blow all year round.
With this, like this...
Fly!
Fly and return that good thing back to Japan.
That's impossible!
Please!
Yes, go!
Go!
Go, go!
Fly!
Fly and go to Narita first!
Go to Narita!
What is this smell?
We've arrived, haven't we?
22,000 kilometers away from Japan.
In the sky, can people fly with umbrellas in Argentina?
The world where Fashion has arrived is about 40 hours by plane.
It's exactly the other side of the earth.
The southernmost land of South America, Argentina, Ushuaia.
But it's different from what I heard.
For some reason, it's breezy today.
What the hell is going on?
In order to find out why, Fashion heads over there.
And at that moment...
Huh? Trees are growing unnaturally.
It's true that strange-shaped trees are growing there.
In fact, trees grow diagonally in this land because of strong winds.
It's no doubt that this land is exposed to strong winds.
By the way, it's not windy today.
Why is it like this? I heard it's windy.
It's always windy, but it's certainly quiet here for a few days.
Oh, I see.
We can't just give up like this.
As we keep listening to where the wind is blowing, a name comes to mind.
- Rio Grande. - Rio Grande. - Rio Grande.
The name of the place is Rio Grande.
There is a wind blowing down from Andes Mountains, a wind from the west, and a south wind from the south pole.
These three strong winds of the world overlap. It's like the land of the wind.
The other day, on the national road of Rio Grande, a big truck was knocked over by the wind.
Is the wind that strong?
Oh, it's just about this big of a truck.
- Is it this big of a truck? - What?
Immediately, from Visiaia to Rio Grande, a city of 200 kilometers north.
Is the wind really blowing?
As we cross the mountainous area where the wind is strong...
There was a vast wilderness spreading out.
And on the hill...
A sign warning against the wind!
When the wind is strong, tall buildings don't look bad.
It's only the first floor.
And...
We've finally arrived at Diogrande!
The wind blows through the desolate room.
The wind speed is up to 30 meters per hour.
It's like a typhoon.
Let's organize our points here.
In strong winds, people and trucks can be blown away.
But today's goal is...
To fly in the air with the power of wind and an umbrella.
Have you ever felt like you're floating in the air with an umbrella in your hand?
That power is called "force".
An airplane flying in the sky...
Its wing section has an expanded upper surface.
When air flows through it...
The upper part of the curved wing flows faster.
The force that lifts up the wing when it's in this state...
Is called "force".
I'd like you to remember...
Doesn't the wing section of an airplane and the shape of an umbrella look similar?
In other words...
If you use this "force" well...
You should be able to fly with an umbrella.
Let's start the experiment that will solve this mystery!
First of all, I'd like you to try flying with this plastic umbrella.
First of all, try flying with a plastic umbrella.
Okay, here we go!
Take-off!
As expected, vinyl umbrellas don't do the talking.
Fashion and body don't look soft either.
Next, I'd like you to try flying with golf umbrellas.
I'd like you to try flying with two golf umbrellas.
The surface area is large. He'll try flying with two strong golf umbrellas.
Take-off!
Two umbrellas ride in the wind and fly away like creatures.
It doesn't stop.
It doesn't stop at all.
Wow!
Umbrellas require a lot of strength, but in Japan, you can't support it with your arms.
I didn't know that!
In order to withstand this fear more, he'll try flying with beach parasols.
The surface area is large and it's easy to hold.
The wind is getting stronger.
Take-off!
As the surface area of the umbrella is larger, the wind that blows increases, and the umbrella breaks in an instant.
In fact, we have reinforced all parts of the umbrella so that this may happen.
We were bragging about an umbrella that never flips over.
Diameter 2.5 meters. It is the size of the limit that can be called an umbrella.
In addition, an air mat is installed on the ground to ensure safety.
They carefully check themselves.
Can they fly in the air with an umbrella?
As the wind gets stronger, the mystery is finally solved!
Take-off!
The moment they spread their umbrella and feel the force of the wind, they take-off to ride in the wind!
However, their bodies do not fly and just fall down.
Take-off!
They can't give up and keep flying!
Certainly, the wind blows, but they can't fly!
This is strange...
Even though I'm under so much pressure, why can't I fly?
Why can't he fly?!
Emergency meeting with the staff
As a result of consideration, there was a suspicion that the fashion was too heavy
Am I too heavy?
And at that moment...
Huh?
And there appeared...
A passer-by who seems to be lighter than the fashion
Huh?
You are...
Huh?!
Yabe-san, right?!
Is something troubling you?
A month ago, it was Karateka Yabe-taro!
By the way, how much does Yabe-san weigh now?
He's 38kg
38?!
He's so light!
With this, I might be able to do it!
Yabe's weight is less than half of the fashion!
But, just like that, the wind gets weaker!
The wind gets stronger again right after sunset!
A little higher...
This is pretty high, right?
They repeatedly rehearse and wait for the wind!
No matter what, they want to hit the ground with umbrellas!
Close, close, close!
You can do it, you can do it!
And...
The time for the experiment has come!
While the strong wind is blowing, they wait for even stronger wind!
It's coming! It's coming!
This is amazing!
The wind has come!
Will Yabe be able to stop it with umbrellas?!
It's so strong!
Even their efforts are in vain!
Yabe's body has fallen to the ground!
We thought we could fly and went all the way to the bottom of Earth, but why can't we fly?!
We asked the aviation science critic Nobuchi Tsuneoshi.
People can fly in an umbrella and fly up for a moment, but they can't fly like an airplane.
Airplanes keep moving forward.
As a result, wings always have buoyancy and can keep floating.
On the other hand, in the case of an umbrella, even if you get buoyancy for a moment, as soon as you move in the direction of the wind, you will lose buoyancy.
But the challenger Yabe...
I can't fly! I can't fly! I can't fly! I can't fly!
He felt an unthinkable upward power. What is it?!
It's like a person below you threw you.
How did he find this new truth?!
In the wind, people can't fly with the power of an umbrella!
