Agreed. There are mountains that don't survive getting crushed between two icebergs. If the sphere were made of solid tungsten, then okay, I'd buy it. Short of that, I have doubts.
Correct. The forces involved when icebergs move are vast. This thing will be crushed like a coke can. Even a deep-sea titanium sphere might not survive such an asymetric load as being crushed between a berg and a rock.
I'm pretty sure the issue was with 'move fast and break things' and not using carbon fiber.
I think it was on the youtubes I was watching a story about how they built that thing and it was <spoiler alert> not really fit for purpose. I mean, no big surprise in hindsight.
Interesting take. I've used MacOS for 30+ years, and for the last 20 years have had zero problems with updating immediately... For that matter, iOS has been flawless also.
You've either been very lucky or haven't been using much older software. macOS updates routinely cause issues early in the release cycle, particularly with backwards compatibility. Working in creative fields with lots of niche applications and plugins in use makes this a lot more apparent. Catalina in particular was a total nightmare.
The musicians suffer a lot with macOS upgrades, but I've found even if some hardware isn't supported officially, it most oftentimes works somewhat well.
lol indeed, since iOS 26 my GPS is broken on Apple Maps and Google map. It’ll just freeze the updates very few minutes making it almost useless for driving
I was waiting to see in the comments EXACTLY this question: There is no way to dump this heat. 1000hp? Yeah, maybe for a few seconds, even with oil coolant pumping through there. Then how to dump the heat from the oil. And further thinking, if they ever get this to be a hub motor, how in the world are they going to pump coolant through 2-4 hub motors and then to a radiator that can dump that rate of heat rise, especially since oil is a lousy coolant (relatively speaking).
Those could be answered by large radiators or the like - when outside the ‘has to be dense’ path. The issue the motor has is exactly that it needs to be dense - and has a lot of power going through it.
Liquid cooling at least for now should work - as long as it stays below the flash point of the liquid I guess.
X-Ray tables?? Seriously? Why are the feds looking at the gambling, and NOT the uncontrolled beaming of raw x-rays into a room full of people. There's GOT to be a law covering that...
Haha! We did the same thing! And we caught about 2 gallons of yellow jackets too. We let it run for about 10 hours (it gets them coming or going), and then when we took down the vac, I let it run and sprayed wasp spray to make sure they were dead. I freaked out when I opened it, seeing the shop vac was half full!!!!
I feel the pain. On a camping trip on the banks of the Mississippi one year, my son and his family slept overnight in his minivan, with just the rear window "wings" cracked open slightly for air. In the morning, we found out that he had battled hundreds of mosquitoes that found their way in during the night. There were blood splats EVERYWHERE on the fabric headliner and walls. Looked like a war zone.
they have their own pain - there are those different mosquitoes, that tries to enter your every orifice. eyes, ears, nose, urethra. very annoying.
after long journey we arrived into the camp. we wondered why we were the only ones there, so we got out of the car and there they were. a lot of them. that was the fastest i ever built a tent and we jumped in it and called it an early night :)
The first part is probably true. The second part is folly. "Remember the Titanic".
