A hydroelectric perpetual motion tower is about the kind of dumb poo poo you'd expect from an architect, and a skyscraper water park that's also a mining rig is about the kind of dumb poo poo you'd expect from a bitcoin enthusiast.

This would work so much better with turbines at the top and a 2 phase coolant!

Yeah that fastener is captive, not in a (completely) critical location, and there is a reason there are like 25 of them in a 1'x1' panel like that. You'd poo poo yourself knowing how many of those are lost over the lifetime of an aircraft. If it was in a critical location it would (should) be sealant captured or otherwise secured (lockwire etc). spookykid fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Jul 26, 2020 |

Just how captive is it? Because I understand that a very small piece of metal can make a total mess of an engine.

Americans have some ... odd priorities with car maintenance. Tyres smoother than Patrick Stewart's head? Yeh, i should start thinking about replacing them. Windscreen with massive cracks in the drivers vision? When I start feeling wind through them then I will replace it. 3,000 miles since the last oil change? OMG THE ENGINE WILL EXPLODE. I can understand (via stupidity) doing no maintenance but how uptight the average American is about one thing but then laissez faire about everything else is strange.

The reason the other perpetual motion machines don't work is because they're not using enough water to run big enough turbines! e: Welp, that's what I get for not seeing there's another page

Segmentation Fox posted:Is concentrated H2O2 used in semiconductor manufacture? I swear every time I've driven over by Intel lately, there's been a big ol' tanker truck full of the stuff on the same route. If you’ve got a cargo code decoder app, you’ll see some fascinating things being driven around the Intel plants. I haven’t been keeping notes, unfortunately, but when I had to commute in for work, there was something  worthy about once a week. The narrower tanks with the extra bands for pressure reinforcement are the best. Or the ones where the tank is suspended in a metal cage. And since they can’t drive hazardous materials straight thru the city, they’re having to bring that stuff down from the north on the twisty roads, which can’t be fun for the drivers.

Foxtrot_13 posted:Americans have some ... odd priorities with car maintenance. The 3000 mile oil change is an anachronism that dates back to garbage us cars built in the 70s and 80s. Everything built in the last 10-20 years or so has a service interval of 5-10k that I've seen. Also, the windshield thing depends on the state. In Florida, every auto policy must fix windshield chips and cracks free of deductible. So you don't see cracked windows often unless the car is a $500 beater that barely runs anyways. its different elsewhere.

Everything built in the last 10-20 years or so has a service interval of 5-10k that I've seen. A guy I know in Florida used to work for an autoglass marketing company where they'd canvas parking lots in low income neighborhoods and find people with cracked windshields, then tell them they can get them replaced for free in an hour. A dude would come out to the parking lot and swap windows right then and there in usually about an hour.

You build a SA-WEEEET water park, charge admission, use that to pay for the power costs to raise the water to run your hydroelectric generators, and then use that power to mine bitcoin! And then, obviously, use that bitcoin to purchase cocaine to fuel your next PERFECT IDEA!

Silicon fabrication is one of the few places you'll see it in the wild Somehow that never came up in the one semiconductor manufacturing related course I took in university, some 30 years ago. Maybe because its main use seems to be for cleaning equipment, not directly for the fabrication steps?
