Berge knot

In the mathematical theory of knots, a Berge knot (named after mathematician John Berge) or doubly primitive knot is any member of a particular family of knots in the 3-sphere. A Berge knot K is defined by the conditions: 1. * K lies on a genus two Heegaard surface S 2. * in each handlebody bound by S, K meets some meridian disc exactly once. John Berge constructed these knots as a way of creating knots with lens space surgeries and classified all the Berge knots. Cameron Gordon conjectured these were the only knots admitting lens space surgeries. This is now known as the . (Wikipedia).

How to Tie a Taut Line Knot

This knot is very useful for adjusting tie downs quickly and easily. For example, a tarp could be held down by a series of these knots and be made very tight so the wind cannot make it rise, and easily be removed simply by sliding the knots later. A taut line knot is also used to keep larg

How to Tie the Most Useful Knot in the World (Bowline)

This is a short video to help those who have seen many of my past videos where I use a bowline knot. This is the most useful knot you will ever learn. It will not slip when in use, and comes undone easily even after being tightened under thousands of pounds. #NightHawkInLight -~-~~-~~~-~~
