Oh, gimmie a break! My wife’s bitching and nagging is waaaaaay louder than that! I can even feel the tremors of her complaining from the other side of the country! 😅
Lol, b52s in 1952, I was born in 57, looks like there may be buffs around after I'm gone, damn did the American tax payer and the boys and girls at the sharp end get a great deal.
We didn't mito with our iron bomb load outa Guam slated for targets in Vietnam in our G's. In all the missions as copilot I flew outa Guam, we never had flying speed even with water injection, by the end of the runway because the center of the runway was lower than each end. The airspeed indicator would stop increasing after the midpoint. So the pilot and I would pull the yoke back to 'yank' our buff off the runway then count to five and push the nose over to gain flying speed as we descended toward the ocean pulling up the gear and flaps, waiting for the water to run out after 90 seconds. The gear came up quick, then while the flaps were coming up, the water would run out about the time we had flying speed. Then the flaps finally completed their cycle so as we accelerated, we could pull the nose up and start climbing out. Every mission, that sequence was followed. The Nav team hated it. Any additional crew members required for the days mission would choose to fly on the B52H's because their thrust was about twice ours without water injection. Ahhh, the good ole days....
Saw this in person. Imagine the ipellers spinning about 5000 times faster than this. Good demonstration but this thing is meant to rip fuel and oxidizer into the combustion chamber at high pressure.
The engineers designed the rectifier and motor to run using a specific amperage. Let's think about this for a moment. The circuit breaker that is the power source from the panel is most likely 15 or 20 amp. It may be a little difficult to flow 50 amps through that circuit. Assuming it were possible, what would be the resulting damage to a motor designed for 13 amps? (Assuming the motor is rated for 13 amps as mentioned in one of the postings). I fail to see any positive or benefit to adding a rectifier that was not designed or rated for that motor.
This must be from the early 1980s since the BUFFs are G models. Nothing makes as much smoke as a J57 using water injection takeoff power. My wife grew up near a SAC base in the 1960s (her dad did maintenance on B-52s), and she told me when they did a rapid alert wing scramble, the noise was so overpowering that she crouched down under the kitchen table.
It's not only the axle work that's bending the dropouts, but the sheer force of the axle pulling the bike and rider forward. Dropouts are not built for that
Thank you very much for your nice demonstration! What is the tool for restoring the opening dropout? Very grateful if you can post a URL for it or the similar tool.
I recall two goats being at the reservoir while I was there back in 95. Some guy would just bring them andd we could pet them and have the kids play with them.
Something I can't help but notice is how realistic Spirit's movement as its robotic arm is commanded to move. At 2:19 observing the landscape when Spirit was stationary shows how the rover itself have leaned as its robotic arm was extended in or out. This may appear as nothing but from another planet it's surreal.
😡 The footage of the Challenger disaster is unnecessary and inappropriate here. It is anachronistic, misleading and not relevant to the topic. As someone that witnessed that tragedy, I take offense to its inclusion in this video. On behalf of this video's creators, I apologize to the families that lost loved ones that day, your heartbreak should not be used so callously. 😔
I share your feelings about this version. I have been quite encouraged as well. I gave up on previous versions very quickly after repeated critical mistakes. I am getting very comfortable with this one. Handles roads very intuitively and mostly no interventions. It seems to struggle a bit in parking lots or parking when coming back home but I probably need to check my settings. The other thing is that it will sometimes drive below limit and then I have to nudge it. Today I nudged it and then the light turned red and it did not seem to be stopping so that was an intervention. But I am thinking that was brought on by my nudge. Will keep on trying this one again and again. Mostly feels very good.
Having the same issue. Just rolled out to me and the speed is consistently slower than traffic flow and regardless of change by the maximum it will not increase speed.
