Musk sent his tweet, which included the video of the song, in response to a video shared by the official South Park account about popular meme stars battling it out. Recorded by Korean-American singer Hope Segoine, the song was first uploaded onto the platform in 2016, and has since become one of the world's most recognized tunes, even breaking the Billboard Top 100 in 2019. "Baby Shark," a song about a family of sharks, has more than eight billion views on YouTube. Samsung Publishing did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The South Korean publishing company is SmartStudy's second-largest shareholder, with an 18% stake in the entertainment firm. It lost some of those gains later, but still closed up some 6%, its best day in nearly a month. Soon after that tweet, Samsung Publishing's stock surged as much as 10% to 49,000 won ($44) in South Korea. The company specializes in providing innovative, engineered solutions that meet the specific needs of their customers."Baby Shark crushes all! More views than humans," Musk wrote, referring to the catchy children's song, which became the most viewed video ever on YouTube in November. Customizing the Shark Crane for such a specific environment was certainly an enormous challenge, but the engineers at ATI know that anything is possible!įounded in 1964, Air Technical Industries is a manufacturer of a broad line of standard and custom material handling equipment. The Shark Crane is used regularly at the New York Aquarium. The Shark Crane was perfectly designed for its unique space. It worked! People and sharks alike sighed in relief. Search, "How Do You Move a Shark" for the New York Times article. It was time for the first live shark to go for a test ride on the Shark Crane. The months of creative collaboration resulted in the first ever double-girder, ceiling mounted, serpentine crane system that perfectly fit the needs of the aquarium. “After making several adjustments to the trolley, we converted it to ‘four-wheel drive,’ enabling all the rollers to navigate the curves in the track smoothly and effortlessly.” “The trolley travel was probably the biggest challenge in the whole project,” explained Vida Novak, Lead Engineer at ATI. The hoist was built directly into the trolley, saving headspace with only the hook hanging below.ĭue to the sensitive nature of the environment, special considerations were necessary to prevent contamination of the aquarium pools including: a special food-grade epoxy coating, wash-down motor, and stainless steel lifting chain and hook, as well as non-toxic and environmentally friendly lubricants. The hoist had to lower carefully and smoothly into the pools without splashing down and the materials used could not interfere with the pH of the water or oxygen levels.ĭue to the staggered pools, the path of the track had to pass over each pool in an offset formation, as well as miss the gates located between pools.ĪTI’s solution arrived as an S-shaped double-girder bridge crane track with a zero-headroom hoist and trolley system. The trolley needed to move at a continuous, but slow pace so the caretakers could walk alongside the moving sharks. The motion of the crane had to be smooth to keep the animals calm, not jerky or loud-like traditional models. In addition to the unique requirements of the space, the business of moving sharks called for very special adjustments. WCS needed a magical system of continuous motion to gently move sharks weighing up to 600 pounds from one pool to another, as well as from outdoors to inside the pools in the building without compromising the sensitive indoor environment. Mentor, Ohio Aug– Have you ever visited an aquarium and wondered how the animals found their way in there?
