5er posted:Compilation of videos of electric substations and amazing, violent discharges- Random electric infrastructure aside. I had bit of a ho hum moment the first time I walked across a footbridge across a major road in Thailand with a mishmash of electric lines buzzing within touching distance. I should try and dig up a couple of photos. The bit at the start of the video (around 30 secs in) made me think of that.

The UK conservative government ladies and gentlemen. The main party of which made huge gains in our recent election (the other party in the coalition getting utterly wiped out due to legislation like that getting passed).

Is she a scientist documenting this stuff for some sort of official organisation or something? Also, this is another Chernobyl documentary that came up in the suggestions with more original footage and interview with surviving roof workers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNc4MvI2s08 Some bullshit numbers in there but yeah good footage as well. [edit] loving hell, those interviews get more and more harrowing as they get more recent. Munin fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Jun 2, 2015 |

Three-Phase posted:Some additional nuclear stuff: "Criticality 1969" The emblem of the Atomic Energy Authority caught my eye in that video and it turns out they crammed an awful lot of symbolism into that thing: http://blog.nuclearsecrecy.com/2013/01/22/more-nuclear-symbolism/ References from the makeup of a standard nuclear reactor to the classical elements to the coat of arms of Ernest Rutherford.

Maxwells Demon posted:You should evaluate (yourself or professionally) the maximum potential current that could flow through certain systems and determine if a system that can be reset with the flick of a switch or only with the replacement of a fuse is right for you. Is there any system out there which is set up to allow you take the fuses out of the circuit as easily as you would flip off a circuitbreaker and is set up for lock out and tag out? Surely that must be reasonably easy to set up?

suffix posted:I guess that's the cue to repost some CSB safety videos: I really like the CSB videos and it is sad to hear that it is apparently mired in a sea of underfunding, overwork and mismanagement: http://www.publicintegrity.org/2015/03/27/16997/chairman-grossly-mismanaged-chemical-safety-board-resigns http://www.publicintegrity.org/2013/04/17/12498/critics-press-action-chemical-safety-board-investigations-languish Reading that second article it does seem to me that mismanagement is only a part of the problem with funding issues and pushback from industry and other organisations in that area also making their work almost sisyphean. I was kinda wondering how an organisation publishing hard hitting reconstructions like that and calling for more federal regulation of industry could keep pushing that kind of radical message in the US without getting neutered.

Code Jockey posted:That's cool Aside from the lack of helmet and eye protection I'm not a fan of the giant unguarded side blade myself. Also, the crazy giant rotating blade hedge trimmer posted earlier in the thread caused remarkably little comment. A casting/forging failure or it hitting something harder than expected could cause a wonderful range of metal to spray out over the plane of rotation.

One thing I liked in that control room video, which someone else also alluded to, is how all the alarms have a different tone and you can work out from the harmonies what particular combination of poo poo you are in at any point. It also seems to be tuned not to be in the same range as speech and also not deafeningly loud.

Do they not have this poo poo in factories where they have poo poo that can do way worse than second degree burns if you gently caress up retardedly bad? That is terrifying if that's the case. Well, you saw the post later in the thread about hospitals so...

It might have been a case of a "more controlled" explosion. Some fire was obviously raging out of control in a different part of the facility and the people running the place might have been considering what would happen should the fire then reach and blow up the full chemical storage tanks. Then they moved to pre-empt that by essentially blowing the stuff up a smaller amount at a time rather than all together. In that case the question would still remain why they thought blowing it up would be the best solution rather than anything more elegant...

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Same. How do they put up a cable like that anyway? I'd always been curious about things like that in general, but I've usually only seen it in places where some actual construction had taken place, so I always unconsciously handwaved it as "they have money and science," but this wire doesn't look like it could have any other purpose out there than for hobbyists to climb and jump off of. The only thing I can think of is basically taking the whole length in a coil to one end, then walking/driving it out to the other end, setting up whatever equipment, then tightening at both ends until you have the tension you need, but I doubt that's how they do it. One possibility is that they dropped a cable down from each cliff, dragged the two sides together and then winched the entire affair up from both sides. Distance wise, the fish-eye effect on the lens does not help with that.
