Snowglobe of Doom posted:Mouse spiders look really similar to funnel web spiders, certainly close enough for people to go "Nope, ain't going anywhere near that fucker, goodbye!" Their venom is pretty darned toxic but there's no record of their bite ever causing a fatality in Australia. The guideline for treatment is 'treat as for severe funnelweb envenomation'. Also, the main reason for no-recorded-fatalities is (unlike atrax robustus), we haven't built a major population centre smack in the middle of their range. I'd wager one or two of the empty pairs of boots dotted about rural NSW would be down to a mouse spider.

Photonic induction is great. I felt quite sure he'd killed himself when he didn't put a video up for six months, but then he was back with a 250 volt battery pack the next day. Personal favourite is the episode where he causes brownouts in his street and the police come.

Arsenic Lupin posted:It's worth knowing that that YouTube video was funded by the rail interests in Australia in lieu of making road/rail crossings safer. I forget the cost tradeoff between making the video and putting in modern crossing equipment, but it was substantial. I've never understood this argument when it's been put to me. It is essentially "Some people run red lights or stop signs, therefor every intersection needs to be rebuilt as a cloverleaf". Put red light cameras on level crossings, issue offenders (or their estates) fines and points. It's pretty well established that people won't drive safely because it'll save their lives, but they will modify their driving behavior to avoid fines.

Sagebrush posted:Hm, you work at an electric motor factory, eh? Two things: Duty Cycle and Marketing Bullshit. 45eHP and the size of a coffee can will get hot quickly and will either need lots of active cooling (which makes it significantly larger), and/or to not be run for very long at full load. I don't think I've seen an electric motor with continuous/5 minute power shown on the nameplate, but I'm certain one exists. 3eHP motor the same size (assuming it's not a China Export special where they have a huge case full of air with a small motor to keep it company) will probably cheerfully run at full load at 45ºC forever. Guy running the tool not so much. Marketing wank /should/ be OSHA in the sense that there should be a season where marketers can legally be shot under a permit system, but since that's not legal it's not OSHA.

Olothreutes posted:That will only work on some trees, palm trees are notably able to survive ring barking. It has to do with how the internal structure of the tree is laid out. In some trees the xylem is only around the outer layer of the tree (the xylem carries nutrients and water up to the leaves) so ring barking the tree cuts the xylem and starves anything above the ring. Palm trees (and others) that have different xylem layouts will survive. Nope: turns out hammers do remove tungsten carbide handily, and other than the sintering alloys possibly being toxic your ring is no more hazardous than any other.

You're all wrong about this. Based on my extensive experience in Euro Truck SImulator, the solution is to drive the truck really, really fast and jump the railway using the embankment as a ramp instead of taking the underpass. Really, it's trivially easy and I'm amazed the city authorities have overlooked it for so long.

MF_James posted:It's also very hard to inspect what you can't see. If there were no stress fractures or anything to indicate that the foundation of the spillway has been compromised, there's not much you can do about it. You might trot out penetrating RADAR to look for voids (and core movement), but you would be unlikely to do that unless you suspected something was amiss. Usually, you'd use a theodolite to check the run of the spillway (as well as the dam crest, wall and toe) to look for movement as part of a regular inspection (note: not the sum total of the inspection), and leave it at that until fracturing/spalling was observed. They missed an opportunity here to tell people that the saddle and emergency spillway was actually a fuse plug. A fuse plug is a part of a dam engineered to fail early to protect the main dam, typically (but not always) built into the crest of the spillway. I'll be interested if the repairs effected in 2013 included stitching between the spillway walls and floor.

Deteriorata posted:That means that each dam would be inspected every five years or less, assuming they spend a week at each one. Seems reasonable. The vast majority of dam inspection is by telemetry, using vibrating wire piezometers and strain gauges (all telemetered) to keep a continuous eye on seepage and deformation. If nothing is found to be deficient, it usually takes a day or two to inspect a dam. Generally the inspector is the qualified engineer; he or she will usually be assisted by people who are on the payroll as "general labour" or similar. ethanol posted:Jesus and they're made out of concrete. this may seem obvious to some but concrete fatigues under load and has to be repaired. Maybe less obvious is that a dam may be able to withstand a full resevoir the first time, the second time, the 10^n times. But repeated loads reduce the maximum allowable stress over time Concrete has a flexure limit. So long as your dam (or other concrete structure) is designed to keep the concrete under this limit, it won't fatigue. This dam is an earth wall dam with a clay core. What will be fun is older multistory carparks and bridges which were not designed around literally everyone driving 2+ tonne trucks. Erosive flows are an issue any time a dam is overtopped; in this case, it was a secondary saddle that was being overtopped and eroded, not the main dam. The erosion of the saddle is an issue but its failure would be akin to a fuse plug, and prevent overtopping to the main body of the dam thereby avoiding significantly worse failure. Concrete dams are also subject to failure this way, generally through scouring of the abutments and toe. Gorilla Salad posted:The overall number of high-hazard dams, as of 2012, was almost 14,000. Need to point out here that "high hazard" doesn't automatically denote that the dam is at-risk. Dam hazard classifications are based on the outcome of dam break failure, not the probability of a dam-break failure; the hazard classification will be used in determining things like maximum design inflow at TWL (e.g. a low-risk dam might only have a 1:100 spillway). ANCOLD will tell you more on the topic than you're ever likely to want to know but they'll also charge you $200 for the book; tellingly they start with a disclaimer that if you follow their advice to the letter and bad things happen, that's on you. boner confessor posted:here's a different angle Hope one of you owns a shotcreting company. That still looks like the saddle. I'll be interested how the main spillway looks once it's dry. As has been said, fixing the road lets you get equipment where it's needed to effect repairs on the toe of the spillway apron, which is why it gets fixed (to a pretty low value of 'fixed') first. VVV: The concrete apron to the left of the photo I quoted is the crest of the emergency spillway/saddle dam, and the thing that I'm talking about accessing. The other option is to repair it off a barge. IPCRESS fucked around with this message at 01:01 on Feb 15, 2017 |

Turtlicious posted:The pipe goes through the U then the bolts hold the U and consequentially, the pipe, in place. I sometimes do stuff like that when I'm mocking things up to just hold things approximately correct while I take measurements/angles/tack plates approximately into place for future IPCRESS to sort out/grind off plates past IPCRESS tacked in the wrong place. So I'm hopeful that this isn't the finished product. Using a gas bottle as a stool isn't a great plan even when you aren't doing hot work. At least he's not welding the rim, I guess?

Sagebrush posted:What's the logic of this, exactly? Is there something in carpeting that would screw up their meters? Are they worried about static electricity buildup doing...something? Or is it about it being easier to find stuff/clean up on a hard floor, in case they somehow lose a piece of the source? If that's a risk, why the hell are they doing it indoors instead of in a lab? For that matter, why are they doing it indoors in a human-occupied space at all, instead of in the garage or something? In the event that any of the source material escapes containment, a non-porous hard floor without seams means you can get almost all of it back.
