Thunderf00t explains the problems of Hendo Hoverboards
(0) | 23/11/2014 | Translate: Is it a scam? well kinda.
For certain when they claim to be the first ‘real’ hoverboard, this is BS. Others have made ‘hoverboards’ previously using either magnetic or aerodynamic levitation.
Looks like their hoverboard works on magnets rotating over a conducting, but non-ferromatnetic surface. Its basically the same technology as a maglev train. The only difference is they’ve kinda hybridized it with quadcopter technology. That I’ve gotta admit is a clever idea. In practice however its almost worthless as it just cannot supply the power to lift ratio to do anything useful. Further the engines only seem to be able to lift their own weight plus 50 % extra. Thats just impractical for any sensible application.
They then go on to suggest they will levitate houses with this, to save them from earthquakes, floods and rising sea levels. This is just so stupid its amazing that noone in the mainstream press seems to have picked up on how crazy an idea this is.
Saving a Sinking Ship: The Royal Navy’s Damage Repair Instructional Unit How do you train sailors to save a sinking ship? Sure, you can teach them the theory, but there's no replacement for having to hammer softwood wedges into deck and bulkhead splits that are spraying cold, high-pressure water in your face. At HMS Excellent in Portsmouth sits Hazard, a Royal Navy Damage Repair Instructional Unit (DRIU). Every Navy recruit who's going out to sea will have to go through something like this -- and on a much harder level than we did! But then, they'll have had months of training and teamwork beforehand...- Small plane crashes in an electricity pylon Sunday, November 27, 2022 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, a Mooney M20J single-engine passenger plane crashed into an electricity pylon, thus remaining embedded in the metal structure nearly 30 meters above the ground. The pilot and his passenger were stuck inside the aircraft for seven hours before finally being rescued. They were taken care of due to injuries and hypothermia. An investigation has been opened to understand the reasons for this accident which caused numerous power outages in the area.

Alerted by the cries of the mother, the railway worker Mayur Shelke began a sprint of about thirty meters on the rails to grab the child and bring him back up on the platform, then to hoist himself there just before the passage of the train. Indian Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal said Mayur Shelke would be rewarded for his heroic act.

- Turbinator II, the first car to reach 800km/h On October 2, 2018, Team Vesco's Turbinator II with Dave Spangler driving became the first wheel drive car to exceed the 500 mph barrier. Owner, designer and builder, Rick Vesco and his late brother Don began to pursue this goal 17 years ago. Tragically Don died of cancer in 2002 and never saw his dream fulfilled. In 2013 Rick began to upgrade the car with a new turbine engine, new drive train, new traction control, new brakes and new body. It was sweet success when on the first (and only) day of the World Finals event on the famous Bonneville Salt Flats, Dave Spangler powered the car through to a spectacular 503 mph run!

- steam train hits car leaving lot in Jim Thorpe Today, Reading and Northern steam locomotive #425 was pulling back into Jim Thorpe on the 11:00 train when a car darted in front. The driver and passenger both seem to be okay, just a little shaken. The passengers on board the train reported that they didn't even feel the train hit the car, which is a testament to the sheer power behind this 1920's steam locomotive. The locomotive was going a relatively slow speed, and sent the car flying as if it was nothing, so if you think you can beat a train through a crossing, don't even try. For those concerned about 425, she suffered a few bent grab irons and had a big tire print on her rear, but she'll be fine. Let this serve as a lesson to everyone: Look. Listen. Live.
- Why Are Airplane Engines So Big? The answer to this question has everything to do with drag & kinetic energy vs momentum change (thrust) – ie, a bigger engine fan allows for a larger air mass to be accelerated a smaller amount to give the same thrust as you’d get from a smaller engine with larger acceleration. Any acceleration of air imparts energy to that air, which is in principle wasted energy, so ideally we minimize the acceleration of air while maintaining constant thrust, aka bigger engine fan. However, bigger fans have more drag, so there is an ultimate size limit.
- The Biggest Shiplift in The World This ship lift is on the Krasnoyarsk HPP. This is a huge bath on the rails, it first calls in on one side of the dam below the water level, is filled with water, and inside swims ship, the gateway is closed and the ship lift rises to the top, where there is a 180-degree turn and descend on the other side of the dam, where the gateway is opened and the ship floats out. Weight without water of 4000 tons of water and the vessel of 8000 tons, the velocity of 1.2 km / h. Officially, it is working since 1982. The video is shipping units for the power plant, which is located upstream of the Yenisei.
