How robots could end animal captivity in zoos & marine parks

newtboy says...

Yes, that one, my mistake. Forgot to spell check.

You can still mess up big time in an electric car even without a gear box, just ask Richard Hammond! But I get you about removing all dangers….but give it time. Someone will hack those automa-lions and turn them into robo-murder-kitties. Asimov’s three laws aren’t real.

I would miss the deafening sounds and the smell of racing fuels too….but can’t we have both electric and fossil fuel races at the same venue if not in direct competition?

Nurburgring?

I dont have anything against racing electric cars. I think the endeavour to create a mechanical dolphin is most noble. Its still about pushing the limits.

And yet I find the world where the lion tamer cannot step into the cage, the monkey cannot bite your finger off through the bars and you cannot miss a gear heading out of a corner somehow less worth living than the world of my childhood. Yes the smells too.

Maybe the bears are going to miss riding the motorcycle around the arena. Lions born in captivity would be cargo cultists if set free. Push a button to overtake. Sad.

Supercar or mini bus or nearly tank?

Look up Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections. When it works it's quite entertaining, when it doesn't quite work it's exactly as you described (and still a bit entertaining).
In reply to this comment by shole:
Things do need to be simplified when doing a show of a limited time.
They can't do a show where it's like browsing wikipedia, jumping from one subject into some minute detail of it, and digging deeper until you forget what you were studying in the first place.
Not that i would mind if someone were to make a show like that. :

Richard Hammond becomes a human lightning rod

Hive13 says...

>> ^Croccydile:

750kv is still well short of actual lightning, as he also states he feels like "millions of amps" crawling over him. I can assure him if that was actually the case he would be not just burned to a crisp but instantly vapourized . Generously assuming they are accumulating from 240V @ 30A the resulting output is a nary thousandth of an amp.
Still, I envy being able to do something like that.


I am pretty sure he said "millions of ants" not "amps". The amount of electricity coming off his finger is still enough to kill a man, but it isn't pure lightning for sure.

I, too, am envious of that. I'd love to try that.
