First successful parachute jump--without a chute--from 25k

What a great SteadiCam--oh, wait...

Eukelek says...

The entire arm seems to twist and fails at the joint of the arm on the camera which seems offset from the center of gravity of the weight and camera. Probably the cutting and snapping of a 1/4th steel bolt or something. Camera-weight need to be completely leveled flush (+/- 0.6°) by the awesome weights as a closed object system. I believe correcting this torsion by putting that universal joint center in line with the center of gravity of the camera-weight would prevent that torsion. This would mean that the joint center would have to be somewhere central in that column tube thingy. The over extension and over snapping can only be fixed with built-in stops, I dunno.

He went full extension...you never go full extension! I suspect the designers never intended for the camera to ever be beyond arms length. At full extension with that large a camera the pressure on all the components was too great.

Like Archimedes said "Give me a place to stand and a long enough lever ... oops!"

Inky the Octopus Escapes Captivity Like a Pro

Eukelek says...

so either: Inky deciphered the human entrapment contraption plans and had imagined his escape before actually going for it, OR just "sensed" or smelled or heard the ocean close by and knew he had to go in that direction somehow... hmm, I wonder which one it was?

Epigenetics: Why Inheritance Is Weirder Than We Thought

Eukelek says...

Exactly! the implications are huge in the understanding of evolution and even society, since say, the selfish gene in humans/red hair/disease/etc can be triggered or turned off, or say that there is an extra feedback mechanism in males´offspring! It could explain the enormously fast adaptability in the evolution of species and the programmed role of males in society and their EXPERIENCES/fears/emotions! Sperm production (gametogenesis) is constant in males, and nature is no dummy; one could hypothesize nature finds feedback mechanisms into genetics to compete and gain advantage with other males, even for future generations (?). This should have huge implications if the proper research is continued and these very interesting hypotheses and other´s are seriously questioned.

Neil deGrasse Tyson on genetically modified food

Eukelek says...

Ok guys, Genetically Modified Organism refers to both "artificial selection" and "genetic engineering". But both are not the same. Artificial selection has gone on for millennia while genetic engineering has been going on for only a few decades. Genetic engineering comes in many forms: gamma ray bombardments for chaotic mutations, splicing and dicing genes, implanting and hormonal reproduction of clones can indeed create many monsters both visible and invisible. The invisible monsters and the toxins they can create with their genes are the threat here. The manufacture of biological warfare, virus engineering and playing with the elements that make up life without understanding the consequences is the threat here. The bullying of corporations playing God and patenting their spreading genes are the threat here. Not the fact that apples or cows are bred to be bigger and juicier. Give me a fucking naive simpleton break, gawd that was disappointing.

Barrel Crush: Atmospheric pressure crushes a 55 gallon steel

Eukelek says...

There is much potential to exploit such forces. A few ideas for those who who are also working on this: elevators, flying machines, vacuum transmissions, gravity towers, and many more.

David Blaine: Real or Magic with Harrison Ford

Eukelek says...

... obviously a suggestion technique... quite cunning though... He suggests the 9 of hearts constantly somehow and make him only come up with that through suggestion. The rest is simple. I concur, terrible reaction... almost to much, kinda forced...
