Never knew this before!

I think they he used springs loaded push aways on the racks on our MSMC AV8A Harrier birds, with safety pins on the ground removed just before launching.

 

Awe, my video was deleted. Oh well.

This is kinda cool too.

 

Not just "Cool" this is freekingly AWESOME! Just fast forward to 6:22 if you want to skip the geological lesson.

Cool. I once watched a earthquake compression wave moving across rice patties in Asia. You could see the plants flying up and landing back down as the wave crossed the fields.

 

I might have seen something similar. In Southern California as a boy I was laying in my father's hammock. A minor quake occurred while I was lying there. There was swaying going on and I noticed what looked like the roof tops of the houses down the street bobbing up and down like boats on the ocean. You could watch the swells moving from west to east as house after house danced up and down like one wave passing beneath them then another and another.

The Japanese fab I worked at was built on springs. The inner manufacturing space had flex lines on all pipes and wiring from the outer shell to the central equipment block in the middle, with slip zones surrounding it. Was designed to take a 8 mag with little damage to the central core. Damn impressive engineering.



All on the under floor equipment seismic braced and was connected with flex lines and floor to floor piping/electrical passed through cutouts in the floors.

6 Wienermobiles Will Race for Glory at the Indy Motor Speedway This Friday
The Wienermobiles, each representing a region of the U.S., will take on the Indy Motor Speedway's banked oval in the first-ever "Wienie 500."

 

Cool AND funny! Wait for the guy with the hammer. Meanwhile there's lots of cool stuff going on. Nothing I'd want to experience this closely though.

Closest to lightning I've ever been was about 30 feet. A Jeffery Pine Tree took a direct hit. We felt the static charge building and jumped into a trench we had been digging. I SWEAR this is what I saw - lightning exiting one wall of the trench and going into the opposite wall, just about 18 inches away from my face. However, there was no heat from the flash so it must have been an optical illusion as I turned my gaze from what was the beginning of the strike as I dropped down into the trench. So it's not likely I actually saw lighting 18 inches away from my face. However, weirder things have been known to happen with lightning.

 

 

Interesting. I noticed the methane line freeze up real quick once the chamber burst.

No heat source on a pressure line free flowing expansion of a refrigerant gas. Heat moves quick into that expansion of gas from the surrounding space and matter.

Total loss refrigerator.

 

Revolutionary Contact Lenses Let Human Eyes See Invisible Light

​

In a new study, scientists have helped humans catch a glimpse of light between 800 and 1,600 nanometers in length, a range we normally can't see known as infrared. The trick is to pop in a pair of contact lenses embedded with nanoparticles that convert the infrared wavelengths into visible ones.

 

 

Getting ready to fly.

I'm waiting for glasses that can detect RADAR and LIDAR. Imagine the money you could make selling those things.

Yes.

 

I remember a kids movie where some boys discovered a Genie. One of their first wishes was X-Ray vision. The wish was granted and they could see each others guts and bones. Not at all what they were hoping for. Don't remember the name of the movie; maybe someone else might be sparked to remember it.
