Hey man, you should attempt to create these alloys with some metal workers and see about contacting some labs for some harder to obtain materials. I'm sure those nerdy dudes would love to make a halo alloy.

It's amazing if you think about the odds the UNSC faced. The fact that they came out on top is impressive, even with some of the Chiefs luck, they still barley came out on top

@mosterchife6045 Год назад

The whole reason they won I think is because of the Great Schism. Without that humanity would be annihilated.

That is true that did help out, but 117 being lucky and surviving everything thrown at him, and being at the right place right time help tremendously. Who knows if the elite would have come to the aid of humanity if the Arbiter hadn't become friendly with Chief, Johnson and others

This goes back to Noble Team. If they hadn’t gotten Cortana to the Pillar Of Autumn then they wouldn’t have found Halo. Thel wouldn’t have lost the ring and would still be the leader of the Fleet Of Particular Justice. The Covenant would have come to Earth and the UNSC would be screwed. Truth and Mercy would find the portal to the Ark and would have activated the array.

We will probably start doing things like this at scale sooner rather than later. Like He Said We already use this for turbine blades. But since due to the Sticky Finger Dilemma we probably won't have Grey Goo style programmable nano machines. The Most efficient way would be to have the material grow in smaller pieces. And then like atomically precise Lego Bricks place them at its exact location in the final structure and "Weld" them creating a perfect continuous crystalline structure.

@TT-uy5el Год назад

As a mechanical engineer who has been a product engineer for Single Crystal , DS and Equiax turbine blades I like the idea of some sort of SC component. From a material stand point I agree with the use of something like niobium probably an alloy with more platinum group metals, tantalum and tungsten. Tantalum and tungsten have very high melting points but are brittle so they aren't good in high concentrations in rotating components. But maybe higher percentages when centripetal force isn't a great concern. Also they are heavy but if they don't have to worry about propulsion via chemical means the weight might not be as big of a deal as it is today. Platinum group metals generally have very high melting points, but are currently not used in turbine blades much do to high cost of raw materials. Platinum is used to make turbine blades in very small quantities to balance the internal ceramic core during the casting process. From a Mechanical design aspect I think the artist of the picture you show got it wrong for the super structure. I think the structure would look more like what you see in an AI generated design, where it looks more like the roots of a mangrove tree (not sure how else to describe it). idk if a superstructure would exist, more like a combination of an exo and endo skeleton where forces are distributed across the entire body. Its more mechanically efficient from a design stand point, we just don't do it today much because its hard to manufacture, 3D printing is starting to change that where we can make these designs. Overall the video was super cool. I enjoyed it.

@AverageFornaxEnjoyer Год назад

Flesh and Faith of course; some of the strongest stuff out there.

@Shinzon23 Год назад

Yeah for me the problem is if these are supposedly a single beam assembled in one piece, then there has to be an assembly forge somewhere that is like 30 km long dedicated to growing just a single piece of metal... and I refuse to believe that there would be a machine that large able to churn out pieces that perfectly, consistently. Given we see Lore that says that the assembly forges are prone to transcription errors and I legitimately don't think the Covenant would want a supercarrier suddenly having its keel shatter because there was a error like 20 km down-the-line that they weren't able to detect because it's a 29 km long beam...

@masterchiefblank4885 Год назад

Your explanation was perfect, to me you don't need to change anything

@212th Год назад

Agreed

@LewpyDrewpy714 Год назад

I waited till the end. Your explanation of material used and crystalline formation, is spot on. If you were to take the density of the material, which density has a direct correlation to Mass. The covenants City size dreadnought would weigh almost in the billions of tons. But if you make the crystalline matrix to have pockets, air, argon something, even vacuum. The mass/weight will drop to 35 to 50%. Take beryllium carbide for example. It's force deflection is almost 300% more than your average steel. Cobalt is a good source they don't have to paint their ships metals or ceramic metals it will naturally be blue. Cobalt is blue, some kind of red to make it look that purple. i was thinking it was some kind of tungsten. Cobalt and tungsten don't mix very well on a subatomic level. the theory, actually it's not a theory, absorbing energy from weapons. you can recharge batteries. That's why the MAC guns were so successful because they were a projectile, not energy. Their shields will over load with sustained shots from energy weapons. But the kinetic energy AKA actual mass will pierce their Shields. To stop mass penetrating you would need a particle shield.

@practicallyprinz Год назад

So if the covenant can produce near perfect structures down to atomic scale, is this what they had learned and adapted from forerunner structures on their homeworlds. We know the forerunners were the pinnacle of the galaxy, their structures being said to be so perfect they never even decay, what's their material makeup I think that's an interesting next video?

@Magnymbus Год назад

My main remaining question is what is the significance of those specific metals? Why Cobalt rather than tungsten, palladium or iridium, to pull some out of the air. I know nothing about the material properties of most specific elements, so the significance of the metals you listed are a complete mystery to me, making the purpose of their specific inclusion in the video rather arcane to me.

One day you should make a video about slipspace reclamation. The one thing that resists species from moving too much material too often across slipspace. I believe this is the plausible way non-paradoxical FTL travel is possible in real life.

@terricon4 Год назад

Overall it makes decent sense... but there is the key part of actual realism on stresses these ships can take and how strong that material you theorize would actually be that wasn't touched on (beyond limited temperatures mentioned). At the end of the day, a writer/game designer just wrote something down that sounded cool/good after maybe some quick google searches on material sciences in order to explain away the designe for heir ships they'd already had artists make with nearly no real concern for physics but instead aesthetics.

@noneed4me2n7 Год назад

Always wished they’d gone into more detail about the evolution of tech the covenant developed from the leftover forerunner goodies left behind. The books have some extras but tend to focus more on Halo current events and the Forerunners history. I still find it hard to believe that zero forerunners hid themselves away in a shield world or some other sanctuary.

Makes me wonder, if this is even remotely possible for us to obtain in the future, why couldn’t the UNSC have developed/reverse-engineered this technique?

@christhummel2751 Год назад

If I remember correctly single crystal structures are a lot more brittle increasing the chances of a critical failure in the material. If I’m right this would mean that the super structure could be cracked or even shattered with one very well placed Mac round.

@christhummel2751 Год назад

@@WolfeSaber9933 I understand that but what I was saying is that from my experience single grain alloys are very hard but not so much ductile which means the metal should break like glass instead of failing in an elastic manner. As he said the metal would be stiff which is another term for brittle.

In the Lore, did not the Covenant basically form around Forerunner items? Taking their old tech and adapting it newly. So one could think that the Forerunner ships were formed from tech they may not fully understand (we even know their ship AIs were just copies of copies of copies). I think it would be reasonable that they were made of forerunner metals and adapted.

could copper-cobalt alloy work better than cobalt-nickel? i know they both exist, and both use chromium, but thats as far as i go. assuming the nanoforge process you describe is viable, maybe do a series on what could be valid hull materials from different sci-fi universes, and what science currently predicts are the characteristics?

@gordonfiala2336 Год назад

the very principal is that they all work. its a matter of what combination of converters you use that determines if the atomic mass can be used to create viable computing patterns. where one chip may make a converter or transistor useless, another may be a functional counterpart to a capacitor even made of a more compatible alloy.

@gordonfiala2336 Год назад

@markdoolan2527 Год назад

I don’t think it would be as strong as you think. Ultimet and elgiloy are used as impact resistance and friction resistant materials they are the cables used to launch jets off carriers There is a study that was done in the 50s trying to make bunker buster rockets more powerful. The dude realised that no matter the metal nothing can resist this kinda kinetic energy . So he designed it differently with the same metal composition He noticed that if you had two rulers parallel and tried to snap them it wouldn’t offer as much resistance if you crossed the rulers. So when you want to make a “strong “ alloy the factors you take into account is crystallographic orientation electronegativity and bonding order You can stack the “grains” in a certain order and then pack them in the opposite. Now this makes a strong metal, however it’s brittle now. and not as ductile but this can make it easier to remove with acids . Etc each metal in certain % has different properties. They can pass or wobble energy to each other It acts more like a glass It may have heat and friction resistance on one side only as soon as you do it from another angle it breaks immediately Certain carbides would offer this kinda protection. But unless there is more to it. They too would just fail after certain pressures and temperatures are reached. It’s like if you had a plastic boat and skipped it into a boiling lake . It’s gonna work for a bit. Maybe it will stop melting after a while and it will be “okay” This can happen with metals and is the reason why the first space probes were made a certain way . Cos it would just melt when it goes too a certain part of space the. It could rapidly cool cos space isn’t uniform in heat or pressure there are localised spots which would be devastating too an alloy rated to resist x temp only to be shoved into a location that is hotter etc Google ALD

That was awesome!! Like, it isn't "totally" impossible but there is no object at any moment in the existence of the universe that ever managed to be this dense... the closest thing to it would be the state of all the matter as it was a few milliseconds after the big bang when everything was too dense to become singularities but would become a singularity if submitted to such pressure at any moment past this point. There would be a virtually infinitely microscopic portion of time in the universe when creating this material would be possible without breaking the entire structure of physics, like billions of billions of billions.... of fractions of a millisecond... with a couple billion more decimals I cant even imagine.... The ultimate super plasma that would have hypothetically turned a good portion of the initial matter of the universe into an astronomical amount of primordial black holes smaller than an atom of hydrogen...
