A useless video. How did that show that it worked? How do we know that it made the ride smoother? What are we supposed to be seeing from the video? What are we noting? How do we know anything from that?

They have zero ability in getting across information. Terrible scientist (as part of science is conveying ideas).

looks like it works well... genius use

Please do tell us then, how that video shows that this solution works.

Did it show that from within the car there was less bump than before it was put in the pothole?

Did it tell us what we were looking for from this solution? That the black mat stayed there? That it didn't move? What exactly?

Did it show a comparison of having the hole filled with sand and have 100 cars drive over it?

I'm not sure why 1955 was a particular year for bullshit either.

Adding video to channels (Music, Timeshift) - requested by ant.

1955 is the year bullshit made it into the unabridged dictionary.

I call bullshit.>> ^GeeSussFreeK:

Did it show that from within the car there was less bump : It showed the pot hole not blasting the liquid out of its bag. Busting a nut if you will. If a hole that is 3 or 5 inches deep is filled, that hole is not a hole anymore now is it ? pot hole solved. would you rather hit a bump that has a half inch deformation or would you rather hit the hole head on with its substantial drop/bump factor ? if your an asshole you would of said yes.

Did it show a comparison of having the hole filled with sand and 100 cars drive over it ? No, it did not, the fact you asked that seems fairly odd as it clearly shows it did not. On that note, any ass who has passed grade 2 would know that if a hole that was filled with sand,dirt,mud,clay or rocks etc. the loose debris would be dislodged and blast out of there like your daddy did to create you. leaving what ? A FUCKIN HOLE.


Did it tell us what we were looking for from this solution? what you are looking for ?? its a god damn hole in the earth that is filled providing LESS of a fuckin hole in the earth.

That the black mat stayed there? That it didn't move? The black mat is just there for surface traction/absorption of energy/ and a over all nicer gentler ride over THE BIG FUCKIN HOLE.

I found that you got all pissy over something you did not understand fully. You go all substandard with your criticism and its just your own ignorance that seems to have perpetuated your thoughts. This video is a great video depicting a fantastic idea.

I am not the smartest man, but I knew the second I read " non newtonian fluid" and pot hole (bag) that it was a fanfuckin tastic idea.

I guess what I mean is the video depicts a great deal if you know some shit about some shit.

fuck off i'm goin fur a smoke. I havent wasted this much time on another poster in a while, excuse me.

And in the long term do you think this baggy will be cheaper than 10 shovels of asphalt?
As a short term solution, if you are going to have somebody come out and deploy this bag, might as well have them come out with asphalt.

While non-Newtonian liquids become 'non-liquid' when a force is rapidly applied, they don't become solid. Putting something like this on a moderately trafficed street will result in a grove getting worked in that bag and it will probably take a few minutes for the bag to regain it's flat shape.

It's a cool solution but I don't if it's really practical or solves a problem that needed to be solved.

fuckit, throw a steel plate over it.

@BoneRemake

Your nuts.

Are showing.

You didn't let me finish @BoneRemake

But nah, seriously. Spoco2 makes a good point.

Had there been a before & after of cars rolling over the mat without the bag of NNF underneath.

This video would make lots more sense.

A video doesn't hold much content, when you need to know about the subject to the extent that you could predict the outcome of the test without watching the video. Nothing was shown in this that wasn't obviously clear from knowing a bit about the subject.

This is not a reliable or practical solution, as it requires force for it to have a positive affect and not all things on the road considering a pothole a hazard move fast or have the weight to generate the downward force required. i.e bicycles, slow moving cars in traffic jams, drunk people. This would only work in a few specific situations like highways from my understanding.. to which as mxxcon hit the nail on the head, asphalt is clearly more effective in a wider range of situations.

Spoco2 is spot on with given comments and the only impressive thing i saw was that the mat actually stayed there, well done mat. Well done.

I'm up-voting because BoneRemake's first comment made me laugh.. Pot-kettle-black.
(and because the mat stayed there)

Edit: also i enjoyed the article, learned a few things, cheers.

Also, what about when a pot-hole isn't a perfect container - life where one side busts out into a hedge or something...

You can also use gravel on potholes..and if they are really deep you don't even have to take all of the gravel back out to fill it..just enough to get a couple inches of asphalt on top to seal the water out.

If you don't seal the water out, you're just going to end up with another pothole there next year when the water gets in, freezes and busts the pothole if not more of the road apart.

So.....this bag might be good for a day or a week....but I don't see it working when people have to park on it, stop on it, or a myriad of other things.

Gravel on the other hand, you can spin some of it out of the hole but it'll do it's job for much longer than week in most circumstances...usually until they get around to patching it. Looks like shit, but so does a white plastic bag sitting in the road.
