desire for vintage novelty alarm clocks...kids wouldn't understand that either. Is that supposed to be for the Japanese military?
^ cool reminds me of the triple loose cube with a ball in the middle. professor showed it around in the Manufacturing tech class and we were all baffled. nobody thought about sintering... kickass stuff coming there in the future
My toolbox keychain made the old fashioned way....... The possibilities with additive manufacturing are very cool.
These new monohull foilers are going to be insane to watch........hard to imagine the final AC75 versions are going to be over twice as long as these test mules.
I still just don't understand how a 5 ton keel can be replaced by foils. Why even make the thing look like a boat at this point even. Like a friend said "they could just make a wired tube shaped thing or something." Lol. The 75s are going to be crazy. I can't wait.
Because that 5 ton keel was acting as ballast to keep the boat upright. By using foils that are set outside the boats center of gravity on the leeward side, it essentially mimics the same physical forces where the wind is trying to topple the boat, but the outboard foils act as resistance in the form of lift.
Hurts my head to think those little things can create the same physical force. Then again it lifts the boat completely out of the water. Pretty neat.
It's damn funny watchin' that "Aussie50" dude destroy washers. He wipes out other stuff like big screen TVs, too...looks like a sci-fi virus eating the screen. And, of course, while surfin' the YouTubes, you find the things other people use to destroy stuff, like industrial shredders and the stuff they feed 'em.
I can't wait to need a new washer, but I'll have to figure out how to disable the outta balance cut-off on my toploader.
