Could someone please post the pic of the bolt that was glowing cherry red because of the electrical current running through it? I want to show someone and words can't do that picture justice.

If those colors are correct, that thing is >900°C at its hottest point where it starts to go orange.

Icedude posted:I thought that was an entirely separate patent filed by an actual airplane manufacturer, and the idea was maintenance as you said but also to improve turnaround times at airports by just having all passenger boarding being done before the plane even lands, the module in the airport terminal is swapped with the one on the plane while it refuels, and then the plane leaves as the previous passengers disembark. And it didn't involve ejecting the passengers at all. I thought it was just some bullshit a design student thought up

Hate to be that guy but last time that was posted wasn't the conclusion that the bolt was externally heated (due to the charring around the bolt)?

The hottest spot is where it contacts the washer. The heat source looks like an insufficient contact surface creating way too much resistance.

Improbable Lobster posted:I thought it was just some bullshit a design student thought up Oh yeah, that video is definitely unrelated except for the general idea. I was talking about this: http://www.wired.com/2015/11/airbus-patents-detachable-cabins-to-cut-plane-boarding-times/ Then again, I get the feeling they saw this and said "but what if it ejected and had parachutes?"

Re: "Safety Plane": Planes are already 17 times safer than cars are. You are more likely to be killed in a road traffic accident on the way to the airport then you are on the plane itself. Those things are checked really routinely and thouroughly for the simple reason that people don't trust them. All a system like that would do is make maintenance more of a loving ball ache, as well as making it so the planes have to weigh twice as much and carry twice as much fuel because they can't be an effecient air-frame design any more, you have to use 2 god drat airframes inside each other. The entire system is a completely useless crock of poo poo.

I think there was some debate as to whether that was really overheating, or if it was blowtorched to try and get a stuck nut off. Generally a low-voltage termination shouldn't exceed 60 or 75C. (HV connections generally are made to tolerate much higher temperatures.)

This is quite literally the explanation for how the boys get stranded on the island in The Lord of the Flies. Step up your game idiot amateur designers.

Three-Phase posted:I mean once the passenger section gets separated... Wouldn't this vehicle immediate tear itself apart from the sudden change in aerodynamics and load at flight speeds? I mean, can the joint of the wings and pilot cabin even take the strain of suddenly not lifting a bunch of meat cargo (which, already, is in the middle of a different disaster happening)? The CH-54 this thing looks like has a cruise of 100mph, not 500mph.

A low-voltage termination shouldn't, unless it's not tightened sufficiently and a small contact-patch heats up raises resistance exponentially until the bolt is glowing red. Same way wire-nuts catch fire.

SNOT CORN posted:If it's so easy then why dont they just put a parachute on the fucken plane? Do the pilots really need to die in this scenario? Airliner parachutes aren't cheap, you're issued 2 when you join the airline, which is conveniently the exact number needed to save the passengers. Don't gently caress it up.

Here's a gadget that boils water directly with electric current, and here's an electrically-heated shower head, for houses that don't have central water heating. (It's affectionately known as a "suicide shower.")
