There should be a contactless lane where someone in F1 style pit crew getup pumps £30 of fuel in like 5 seconds using one of those massive hoses

There should also be a "to go" lane where you can buy your gasoline pre-bagged.

You can also just buy some hydrochloric acid and some sodium, mix them together, and you get hydrogen and table salt.

Good thing OSHA has a ruling on hard hat stickers.

OSHA posted:

OSHA would consider painting or placing adhesive stickers acceptable if the manufacturer authorizes the alteration or the employer can demonstrate that the reliability of the helmet is not affected by the paint or the adhesive on the stickers; and the paint or placement of stickers would not reduce the ability to identify defects (i.e., use of see-through stickers) or other conditions that would indicate a reduced reliability.

The venn diagram of scientists/technicians and people willing to examine evidence from crime scenes produces a really odd group of personalities.

Did you know that a lot of criminal investigative science is about to start grinding to a halt if we don't find a reliable source of helium?

The venn diagram of scientists/technicians willing to examine evidence from crime scenes and scientists/technicians unwilling to work if they can't do funny voices is a perfect circle.

I just googled industrial pigs and found this site
https://pigsunlimited.com/pigging-formulas.php

If you plug 10 inches and 4700 feet into the Time of Pig Run calculator, the gallons per minute of liquid required to get a transit time of 7 minutes is around 2,750 gallons per minute. Since the calculator uses liquid (which is orders of magnitude less compressible than air) instead of compressed air, the PSI on the compressed air is going to be absolutely ridiculously high.

Actually, if you plug 10 inches, 4700 feet, and 20 PSI into the Cubic Feet Required To Fill Pipeline calculator, the capacity of the compressor required to get a transit time of 7 minutes is around 500 cubic feet per minute, so it's entirely possible he was doing it at 20 PSI, he was just pumping way too much air in there.

Instead of 500 cfm of air, he needed about 7.42 cfm to get a transit time of 7.83 hours.

Heh, I love playing with formulas that I have no idea are correct.



here is off the last link that I put in. Numbers make sense to me, so maybe it did get to around 80 psi?

The above shows that a 2000 cfm compressor will fill the volume to 80psi in 7 minutes. Kinda all works out.

I got the same numbers with 20 PSI and a 500 cfm compressor, so we need to know the capacity of the compressor he was using (it was definitely too high).
