+15 3. Xeromyr commented 13 years ago on video The Space Elevator

I'm somewhat disappointed that they didn't bother to mention the #1 problem with building a space elevator.


Extending a conductive material through each of the "osphere's" (atmo, strato, etc) would cause each and every one of our protective layers to electrically ground out and either result in:

a) eliminating the production of lightning world wide.

b) almost instantaneousnessly vaporize the "cable" with the tremendous amount of current/amps passing through the cable, causing the entire elevator to fail.

+13 4. Xeromyr commented 13 years ago on video One Armed Handstand Pushups

In all honesty, I can do real 1 armed hand stand pushups, as well as (obviously) normal handstand pushups (two hands). I took gymnastics at a very young age, and do the exercises I learned from there from time to time.

He's manipulating inertia a bit here. But it's still kind of a push up.

Maybe I'll upload a video of the different ways I can do them. If snotr approves it, I mean.

The balance there still takes some effort.

Looks like big cans of powdered baby formula to me.

Which is commonly cut with cocaine to add weight to the product and therefor increase profit.

But considering the amount they stole they either have -a lot- of cocaine to cut, or I'm completely wrong.

Maybe they've got some brats at home.

Or they could just really, really love coffee.

What comes in cans these days?

"The tiny Darda Cars are called the "fastest in the world" thanks to their powerful wind-up motors. These two manage to take the cars and stretch them into a trip around the world (or at least their house). Even if some of the clips are spliced together, each individual track is sort of amazing."

I don't know if it's remote controlled, but it does have a motor. Through out the video you can hear the sound of the motor, and at the end of the video, you can see it.

Still pretty neat though.

+10 19. Xeromyr commented 13 years ago on video Giant Octopus

Two of the hearts pump blood through each of the two gills, while the third pumps blood through the body. Octopus blood contains the copper-rich protein hemocyanin for transporting oxygen. Although less efficient under normal conditions than the iron-rich hemoglobin of vertebrates, in cold conditions with low oxygen pressure, hemocyanin oxygen transportation is more efficient than hemoglobin oxygen transportation. The hemocyanin is dissolved in the plasma instead of being carried within red blood cells and gives the blood a bluish color.

Simply put, Copper does for octopi what Iron does for us. From oxygen transportation to blood pigmentation.

The funny thing about Magic, is that it really doesn't exist.

There's a Nobel Prize waiting for anyone whom can discover otherwise.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but, based on current empirical evidence, which has had thousand of years of trials, there's no such thing as a "power."

Those hand movements she is using indicates that she learned how to calculate on an Abacus, and is now using an abacus in her mind. (Also, that giant thing behind her is an abacus, so that should be the dead giveaway).

In most schools in Japan, I believe it is a requirement for all students, starting at a young age, to learn how to use an abacus.

+2 35. Xeromyr commented 14 years ago on video Machine creates aluminium helmet

@9
Pure aluminum is rarely ever used in machining operations and is typically alloyed with different, heavier, metals. A7N01 (the category type of aluminum in this video) alloys contain at -least- 4.0 to 5.0% of Zinc, 1.0 to 2.0% of Magnesium,and 0.20 to 0.7% of Manganese. Having worked with blocks of aluminum about the same size myself, and having to use an overhead crane to lift them onto the work surface of the machine -- I'd say that's about the right weight for a block that size.


@17
I challenge you to come up with a more efficient way of machining prototypes. Typically after a design has been "perfected" on a CNC prototyping machine, sand based molds of this perfected design are made either by hand or by a special type of 3D printing machine of which makes the mold layer by layer, in mass. Melted metals are then cast into these molds, whose details are then finished by a CNC machine.

However, in some cases, due to the stresses that occur within any type of hot material as it cools (the outside of the metal cools faster than the inside, causing the outside of the metal to shrink, which exhibits pressure onto the hot and expanded metal within the core, and results in structure warping during a machining operation as the stress "releases" ) it may be necessary to "waste" that material each time in order to have a high quality, reliable product.

A perfect example of this is the building of a Ferrari engine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRKL6hDng-Q

I fail to remember when Human beings and their technologies became separate from Nature. Separate from everything allowed, by the Universe.

There is no difference between technology and nature. Nature allows for technology. Technology is the nature, of nature.

0 41. Xeromyr commented 14 years ago on video Large Hadron Collider - How does it work?

@20, @22, @24


I see your points. I'll admit that my analogy is incorrect. I was absent minded about the slowing down of time as your acceleration increases from 0.

But there still remains the blue and red shifts. The "tinting" of the color spectrum that would occur if you were traveling at near the speed of light.

The objects you are approaching would appear blue in color, and the objects you are leaving would behind appear red in color.

Thanks for the the reminder. :)

In any case, two objects traveling at near the speed of light, then colliding, will not equate to infinite mass. Period.

+6 42. Xeromyr commented 14 years ago on video Large Hadron Collider - How does it work?

@16

It may seem like two objects traveling near the speed of light colliding together may be able to achieve this, but it takes an infinite amount of energy to reach the speed of light. And two objects colliding at near the speed of light does not equate to infinite energy, nor does the rapid deceleration of the two objects traveling in two different directions equate to any object traveling faster than the speed of light in any direction. The objects are subject to extreme diminishing returns.

It's like driving a car with its head lights on. Lets say that light travels at 186,000 miles per second, and the car is traveling .001 miles per second, this does not mean that the beam of light is traveling at 186,000.001 miles/s. The light still has a maximum -total- velocity of 186,000 miles/s.

This means that if you were in a car traveling at 185,999.999 miles/s, and you turned your head lights on, you could actually watch the beam of light slowly grow ahead of you at a speed of .001 miles per second.

#6

It serves two purposes. The shock waves from the ignition blasts are so intense, that they can cause the structural concrete to weaken, and in that case it serves as a sound dampener.

The second purpose it serves is to protect the concrete below the boosters from either turning into glass or being burnt entirely through from the extreme heat.

They basically flood the area with water to absorb and dissipate any energies the boosters produce which could cause excessive damage to the launch site.

If you look up "ATK Booster Test" on youtube you'll probably find some information about how the hillside in front of the blast zone has been completely turned to glass due to the heat.

+10 45. Xeromyr commented 14 years ago on video NASA - Launch of STS-129 (Atlantis)

At #1

The sparks light the hydrogen/oxygen fuel, which flows from the orange fuel tank. They ignite the shuttle boosters first to ensure that they are lit throughout take off and to provide counter force for where the real lift off strength comes -- the RSRM's (reusable solid rocket motors).

The RSRM's light differently. A small charge ignites the "ignition chamber" at the top (just below the beginning of the cones)of the white boosters, which sends an extremely hot burst of flame down the entire length of the rocket boosters in about 1/20th of a second, where the solid rocket fuel then burns from the core, out.
