Winning in the court of public opinion is nice, I guess, but that's not the court that will decide whether you're guilty of negligent homicide.

Safety factors are an important part of design work. For life-threatening failures, they tend towards 6. That means you list a 100 lb limit, and build it to take 600 lbs.

Uthor posted:Honestly, sounds more accurate than what I wrote. +10% is so small of a number, holding a little thing in a small clamp with no danger would still be at least +50%, even just to allow the system to lose strength if it wasn't taken care of over time (ie, used in a factory where maintenance = lose of money). Part of engineering is working within your constraints. Non-critical parts might end up less cost effective than a maintenance swap if you design them to last forever in an application that really doesn't need to last forever (because an accident or environmental wear will put them out of action before fatigue does.) On the other hand, elevators have a safety factor of 11, and I don't trust all of them.

CzarChasm posted:So it's kind of weird that we got two videos in about a week of a front loading concrete hauler that had to stop short and dump over idiots in traffic. Not that I'm complaining, just interesting is all. Specifically, it's hitting the screw-in anchor that the down guy attaches to. Those are at least six feet deep and are rated to 10000lbs of guy tension on the small end, so they're absolutely going to win an argument with any consumer vehicle.

Especially if they're working plant shutdowns and outages. Powered air hoods are absolutely the current standard and if it is possible for them to be used, they should be used. They even have auto-darkening faceplates built in.

The short answer to whether current or near-future computers can drive a car at the human or near-human level is no. The long answer is, we don't even know how human brains work, let alone how to make an AI that can drive a car. Computers are good at solving strictly bounded problem sets, and safe driving is the opposite of that. Not to mention that the work is being done by a bunch of techbros who don't even ask the right questions.

Why would you take your unique, expensive, completely untested hot rod out onto regular streets to test drive it? Why not, like, any track? I know the answer to this and similar questions is "more money than sense" but I still feel the need to ask it.

haveblue posted:Will wasabi powder burn? I think the principle is that anything that's both combustible and finely grained enough to become airborne can cause an explosion, it's a physical process not a chemical one Yes, any remotely combustible powder is a fire hazard, an explosive hazard, and likely a breathing hazard. The finer the powder, the worse it is.

Gromit posted:Yeah, these coil guns are fairly lovely. Projectiles are not rifled so they are innaccurate, and come out pretty slowly. You got to start somewhere but I'm not sure where the tech will go. I assume we need better power storage and delivery to give it a lot more oomph. The simple fact that the chemical energy density of current gen propellants is so far beyond what we can get out of even the best capacitors, let alone batteries, makes electrical weapons a dead end -- and that's before you look at cost. Smokeless powder is cheap.

The Lone Badger posted:They can't pull a new cable through the same conduit? Not if the conduit is damaged, it might tear up the insulation. For a distribution conduit you just pull the old cable out and blast the borehead through whatever conduit is already there, and it pulls the new conduit behind it, but there's an upper size limit on directional boring machines. They'll probably run an optical check through the conduit after they pull the old cable to see if they can re-use it. e: And this is assuming that the transmission line was pulled through conduit, some of this stuff is so big that is has to be laid and then a shell built around it. wiegieman fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Sep 3, 2022 |
