The scene where the couple gets boiled alive in hot spring terrified me as a kid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1ZzZ4370b4

CollegeCop posted:Just to make sure we are talking about the same movie here, the Dante's Peak I'm thinking of had a scene where Pierce Brosnan drove a pickup truck across a lava field, and the lava stuck to the tires like some kind of florescent mud instead of blowing them out / setting them on fire immediately. Hell yeah brother

So I was looking at cryogenic power cables - I think you can get high-temperature superconducting cables rated for 4160V, three phases, at 2000+ amps in a single cable with liquid nitrogen pumped through the center. So if there’s a failure you might simultaneously get: - Shocked - Arc flashed/arc blasted - Frozen

I got mad attaboys at work today for catching a loose lug on our 300HP compressor while swapping out a 24v control relay Peak irony is that it got that way when they replaced the starter to one compatible with the new fire suppression system

Proteus Jones posted:One of the rare days I come to work in the office and this is what I see out the window: That's not so bad. I've watched guys work on 12:12 with just a couple of roof jacks here and there but no lines. The trick is to not fall off. Me, I piss my pants working on anything more than a couple degrees pitch. Roofers are crazy. As a roofer friend of mine once said, "Sometimes... I wish I would fall off the roof and die. That way, I wouldn't have to roof any more."

The point of failure in the cable will act almost like a bolted fault, so in addition to 2000 amps suddenly trying to get conducted through a wire roughly 8 gauge, you'll have all the liquid nitrogen violently boiling off. So arc flashed, with extra bits of ceramic grit and insulation in the blast, your lungs will be extremely displeased both by the low oxygen content AND the fact that the nitrogen is still like -100 F, and if you're a preferential ground path you learn why you shouldn't be. All in all A+ would watch on a low res security camera feed again.

Facebook Aunt posted:Why is it purple though? Did the Hulk drop his pants there? I'm not sure it's a true colour image, I'm poking around to see if I can figure out which bandwidths are being combined for that picture. Taken by the WorldView-2 satellite, which has RGB and 8-band multispectral sensors on board. It could just be an artefact of how the lava appears from 772 kilometers up.

It's not uncommon in RGB digital imaging for extremely hot objects to appear purplish due to the infrared light bleeding through imperfect bandpass filters.  I don't have any idea if this affects the sort of sensors and filters that they carry on satellites but I could believe that it does.

Sagebrush posted:It's not uncommon in RGB digital imaging for extremely hot objects to appear purplish due to the infrared light bleeding through imperfect bandpass filters. That makes a lot of sense, Worldview-2 has been up for nearly 9 years so it won't necessarily have the best sensors on it. This is from a couple of days ago, SWIR image of the same area. It's still clearly hot as gently caress there.
