Lonoxmont posted:Which is fine for systems where you can ensure you will never have more than one train in the same block at the same time, or two trains approaching each other without a passing track/siding. At least in the (small) metro system in my town, they just have one track on each side of the platforms, one for one direction and one for the opposite. Turnaround loop at each end of the line. Kind of wish they would let people ride during the turnaround, but they make everyone get off of the trains. I guess it has to do with a noise thing? It is pretty noisy from what echoes out of the tunnel. just have the trains go up on two wheels to go around each other like in cartoons, problem solved

Lonoxmont posted:Unfortunately, you would have to make the tunnels larger to allow clearance for that, assuming you could also solve for keeping the trains from derailing in the process. Since you just made them larger, you now have room for two tracks and the more complex solution you have provided would no longer be needed. yeah, it's actually something that was done over a hundred years ago called a gyro monorail that looks absolutely terrifying to ride in

Lonoxmont posted:Well yeah, but at least he is trying to put the idea out there that maybe staying on just one planet might not be the best idea. why not? what possible event could selectively wipe out all traces of life on earth but not mars? because for at least the next ~200 years even doing stuff like "building a giant undersea dome city" or "excavating a bunch of vault-tec vaults all over the world" will be cheaper and way more practical than "self-sustaining large mars colony." i don't think people really appreciate how valuable stuff like "has had a biosphere for billions of years" or "has a magnetic field" or "has atmospheric pressure we can survive at" is tbh, and even a giant asteroid won't get rid of either of those to the point where the planet becomes mars-like. the only thing that might sterilize the earth would be a nearby supernova, but that'd cook mars even worse due to its lack of a magnetic field

Shaggar posted:if the problem is people keep walking in the way of the machines, the solution is prevent them from walking in the way of the machines. Part of your process design is controlling human effects. That means both keeping them out of the machinery by limiting their required movement and reducing or eliminating decision making on the part of the human. they go hand in hand too. like that car with the mismatched body panels. the process is probably "go find a panel and install it" and the worker has to walk across the line, find a part (with the option of picking the wrong one), and then walk back and install it. The correct process is "pick up the part from the staging area next to you and install it" where the part has been pre-chosen and delivered to the worker. they don't move from their station which improves both throughput and safety and they don't pick the part themselves which improves throughput and quality. yeah it's almost like the factory was designed by idiots who didn't know what they were doing

Rex-Goliath posted:this is really counter-intuitive and i’m v interested in knowing more if that were true we'd have fallen into the sun billions of years ago. we have enough orbital velocity that not only do we not fall into the sun, but we're millions of miles away from the sun. that's a ton of velocity, and the only way to actually reach the sun would be to cancel out most of it somehow. if you just "fly towards the sun" your orbital velocity will cause you to shoot right past it, since you're constantly moving tangentially to the direction you're trying to go. the way stuff like the parker solar probe gets close to the sun is by looping around a big planet and using orbital slingshot shenanigans to slow it way the hell down

and like, even with that slingshot it's going to have enough velocity due to all the potential energy getting turned into kinetic energy that by the time it reaches the sun it will become the fastest manmade object ever created, by a lot, and then it'll still have enough oomph to travel all the way back out to where the earth is again.
