MAGS - Magnetically Assisted Gears
worthwordswould be interesting in reverse like low noise gears for a wind turbine
Paris’ Traveling Knife Grinder
worthwordsI use a Tormek like the one right at the end - slow speed grinding wheel bathed in water. Safe to use with no eye protection.
Wonderful slice of life video.
But I just spent $275 and a morning managing a metal working friend through an opthalmology appointment to extract metal shavings from their eye...so...Hope he gets back to using safety glasses.
Warp Speed Comparison
worthwordsI suppose it's useful because if we can never exceed the speed of light - it shows you how unlikely these space adventures will ever be.
What's so intriguing about made up numbers though?
Wave tank demo showing impact of coastal defenses
worthwordsseems logical. I was thinking with my stomach. I suppose edibility of oysters would depend on how clean the sea is at that point.
I'm guessing it's because over time the oysters will fill up those nooks and crannies between the rocks that are absorbing the energy. Eventually this may turn the complicated maze of directions the water can flow into something that performs more like the stepped gradient.

worthwordshow is oyster growth a disadvantage ?
What would happen if you never showered?
worthwordsI used to have pongy arm pits but then read about aggressive soap disrupting the flora of the armpit to favour smelly bacteria. So now just clean daily with warm water and avoid under arm deodorants completely and now i have a mild 'nice smelling' armpits - assuming my GF doesn't have olfactory dysfunction.

Why This “Zero Calorie Sweetener” Isn’t Zero Calories
worthwordsgood video. note :if splenda has dextrose in it already then you don't need to use the invertase.
Splenda is sucralose which isn't well digested 10-30% in the gut depending on what microbes you have but it has a horrible aftertaste and so I imagine they used dextrose right up to the 5% FDA limit to help mask it.

The Science (and Dangers) of Booze in Humans
worthwordsOne of the saddest things to see in medicine is Korsakoff dementia. A person can seem quite jovial and interactive but you soon begin to realise that they can't recall something you said 20 seconds ago and tend to confabulate in order to explain the massive gaps in their memory about who they are or why they are here. Heartbreaking
How it's made: Producing a bus blind
worthwordsAn indicator of a developed nation is electronic bus signs, but London has transcended past that into the artesian phase of development.
What a huge, convoluted, antiquated waste of time. Why not just use digital signs like every single other developed nation? They can be updated instantly and you don't have to worry about mechanical parts breaking.
Do Negative-Calorie Foods Exist?
worthwordsi think some of these rumours were down to a misunderstanding since we often call food calories by the short hand 'calories' when we mean kilocalories.at the extreme I think someone had erroneously worked out that thermogenically speaking, eating ice cream should make you lose weight
