Reminds me of the video of how they make steel scuba tanks. There's a lot more fire than I would've expected for a scuba tank, but I don't mind it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzVogfVxXPc And let's not leave out aluminum tanks, though they're fall less fun to watch. Not as much fire, more "force it into shape via hydraulic pressure, and call it a day" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoTK1vcP20E

deoju posted:On the topic of books... It doesn't specifically talk that much about Chernobyl, but I would recommend Atomic Accidents: A History of Nuclear Meltdowns and Disasters: From the Ozark Mountains to Fukushima by Jim Mahaffey. It's fairly cheap on Kindle, and very interesting reading if you're interested in that kind of stuff.

That'll be a radioisotope based generator for a satellite or similar (which was my guess before as nothing much else made sense). Not a nuclear powered missile.

LifeSunDeath posted:Lol wasn't the problem with this that it would create non-stop sonic booms as it flies around, and america deemed it to insane (somehow)? Yep https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Pluto quote:The proposed use for nuclear-powered ramjets would be to power a cruise missile, called SLAM, for Supersonic Low Altitude Missile. In order to reach ramjet speed, it would be launched from the ground by a cluster of conventional rocket boosters. Once it reached cruising altitude and was far away from populated areas, the nuclear reactor would be made critical. Since nuclear power gave it almost unlimited range, the missile could cruise in circles over the ocean until ordered "down to the deck" for its supersonic dash to targets in the Soviet Union. The SLAM, as proposed, would carry a payload of many nuclear weapons to be dropped on multiple targets, making the cruise missile into an unmanned bomber. After delivering all its warheads, the missile could then spend weeks flying over populated areas at low altitudes, causing tremendous ground damage with its shock wave and fallout. When it finally lost enough power to fly, and crash-landed, the engine would have a good chance of spewing deadly radiation for months to come.

Maybe, I think the main problem is that putting a nuclear reactor on a missile is completely crazy. I think America's version involved flying over things and spewing radiation everywhere. Russia's version seems to be more for being able to fly for an unlimited amount of time. But in any case, still crazy. And difficult to test, obviously (we know for sure it blew up the first time, anyways.)

The Lone Badger posted:It was also rendered obsolete by the development of ICBMs. Not obsolete, just too expensive and risky. Reminder we had not yet invented and proven things like electronic flight controls, gps, and terrain following radar. All of which wouldn't really get proven until the Tomahawk cruise missile, 10 years later. Something like Pluto is wayy more difficult to counter than a ballistic missile, which is why nuclear tipped cruise missiles got banned by the INF treaty.

No, a 10 watt laser pointer is not okay Lasers at that power level can cause instant blindness if you get a flash in your eyes. Also the FAA will crucify you if you shine it into the sky anywhere near an airport.

0.5 watts is the point at which eye protection is required because even momentary or reflected exposure can cause permanent eye damage, and sustained exposure can burn skin and common materials. This is also the point where the laser classification tiers just give up and say "here and above is maximum danger, take all precautions". The youtube videos you see of lasers destroying small household items in someone's backyard are working with single digit wattages. 10 watts is completely insane and should not be used outside an enclosed CNC machine.
