You'll need journal access to read the full paper, but here's some published work on it http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1034/j.1600-0781.2003.00031.x/abstract The results from it however are pretty much as expected: quote:UV wavelengths longer than >335 nm were transmitted through car windows, and UV irradiation >380 nm was transmitted through compound glass windscreens. There was some variation in the spectral transmission of side windows according to the type of glass. On the arms, UV exposure was 34% of ambient radiation when the car windows were shut, and 2531% of ambient radiation when the windows were open. In the open convertible car, the relative personal doses reached 62% of ambient radiation.

Kinda related. One of the guys in my club has the Mustang KITT, and the dash has this giant acrylic globe in the center console.  The car itself is super quick, and before it was secured it was incredibly common for that thing to just pop right out after accelerating from a stoplight or onto a freeway. The few times that I got to drive the car, I would just set the globe in one of the cupholders. Moments later I smelled smoke, and was paranoid that I had somehow started an electrical fire in my friend's car, but it was the globe focusing the sunlight and starting to burn the plastic inside the cupholder. Scared the poo poo out of me.

Stealth Like posted:It is. The transmission of light below ~320 nm is essentially zero, depending on the type of course. So some UVA light will get through, but UVB and UVC will not. It's the reason that you don't get a sunburn during long drives if the windows are up. Otherwise you'd get them any time you take a long trip. And this, children, is why we don't make our photolithography masks out of glass. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/Edit: I was overgeneralizing-- but for next generation chips (22nm, 14nm, 10nm-- whatever TSMC is doing) I don't think you can use quartz/SiO2 masks. It's been a few years since grad school and my solid-state/fab courses, of course. MetaJew fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Mar 18, 2014 |

EUV) will require different substrates but we've used "glass" for a long time. Beyond current high volume tools, EUV doesn't really pass through anything so future masks are reflective, not transmissive and they don't use "glass" because of its poor thermal properties. http://www.photomask.com/products/euv-masks Chemmy fucked around with this message at 06:55 on Mar 17, 2014 |

Falken posted:Speaking of, I love the faux classic wheels on the facelift beetle. poo poo yes, those look so good, I hope more manufacturers start offering similar styles. The facelift Beetle in general is a pretty nice looking car imo, although it might just be that the old-new Beetle was so long in the tooth that any change was an improvement. It's certainly the only VW that I see and go, "yeah, I could own that and not feel bad", particularly the turbocharged version (although I hate the turbo wheels).

there's a dark grey one that parks around the corner from me, and as neither a VW nor a Beetle fan, I have to admit it does look very sharp, especially with the "Orbit" wheels it comes with. (similar to this -source: GIS)

The "New" New Beetle is a massive improvement. I see them around once in a while and I don't actually cringe at the sight of them. In fact, they're growing on me...something about the new proportions just werks.

The "new beetle" looked like rear end because it was a pushmepullyou type design.

This is the awesome AI poo poo thread and you're posting modern beetles. Yeah they're better than the original re-design but that's like saying being forced to eat a human poo poo sandwich is better than being forced to eat a dog poo poo sandwich.

We found that Kijiji ad at exactly the same time. I just sent it all over IRC. That work is really well done, I think the guy must be a bodyshop type judging from the truck in the background too. I need a friend like that. I should attempt to win this guy's trust so he can fix my rust.

  Look at the bloody gap! The door is closed, and both sides were the same. So why isn't it in the Terrible thread? Because it's one of these:    2010 Defender 110 TDCI Off road ability aside, they are a terrible outdated design. The new 6 speed box & ford engine doesn't feel any better than the old td5 and 5 speed and it now comes with a 85 mph speed limiter, which is probably a sensible tire related thing, but no fun. NVH is laughably awful, driving position is one size fits none. The new dash and console is just slapped on top of the old shelf design, I wouldn't be surprised if you could bolt it into a series 3. But once you start driving it, and start thrashing it down a B road a big grin appears on your face, and you realise once you get the tyre pressures right (bloody hire company set them to 35 all round) it stops trying to kill you and handles OK. Ish. Exploitable anyway. Driving in town feels like an occasion. Motorway plodding is a bit torturous, but thankfully for the two days & 250 miles I had it I was in the north of Scotland, so that wasn't much of an issue. I was very sad to give it back, but maybe I wouldn't feel the same if I was doing 20k a year in one. stump fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Mar 18, 2014 |

That is remarkable, it technically isn't rain-proof! And if you decided to ford a decent sized creek you'd be swimming in the cabin.

Thats why Land Rover in their infinte wisdom decided to drill a stack of drain holes in the bottom of the floor- That way any water that makes it through the door seals will drain away. Apparently water refuses to flow INTO holes drilled in a floor pan in Britain. Toyota door seal supremacy. I was in here for at least 15 minutes bogged and not a single drop made it into the cabin.
