No Flying Lessons

jmd says...

When it comes to flying, if you get it wrong it mostly leads to death. This is not something you learn by just doing. Even the wright brothers had a fair grasp of aerodynamic, thermal dynamics, and if they took to the sky how they would get down before attempting their first flights.

Frankly getting into the air is the easy part, the landing is the hard part. Thankfully the plane was small light but rigged enough that it didn't crumple on a hard landing.

Engineering Student Designs "Mobile Airbag" that Deploys...

jmd says...

aktually, a disclaimer much like that of air bags would put a quick end to any lawsuits. Also from the looks of it, it is a fairly safe design. The "hooks" are a very blunt segmented plastic that is a pretty harmless u shaped, so the tips arn't digging into anything. And the metal bands have so little force behind them that they are easily bendable back into a locked and loaded position.

I think I would actually dig this type of case, sign me up to test!

Bicyclist avoids crashing into a car, hits a light pole

jmd says...

bike is so in the fault. The car was inching although did end up slamming the brakes to avoid a full collision. The problem is the bike was going so fast and saw that in order to avoid the couple he needed to take his right side path around the pole. What he didn't see was the second vehicle behind the parked car that kept him from taking that path safely.

Spacer Installation on 765,000 volt line

jmd says...

that kind of work amazes me. I'm sure they need to fly in perfect weather but the pilot needs to keep it steady and even lowers himself closer to the wire when he needs to get to the far underside clamp. And I am sure it is second nature by now but if you mess up on the needle and clamp then its either you or the helicopter who gets the zap and neither one will work right after.
