A
bunch of interesting, helpful, quirky, or amusing links ........
or not, you decide.
WELCOME
HOME (movie): what should happen at
every single airport, bus terminal, train station and port
when our troops come home. This little clip says everything
without saying a word.
Interesting:
crab
vs pipe : wrong place at the wrong time ( movie )
This is
a video taken in 6000 feet of water. An undersea robot is sawing
a 3mm wide slit (1/10th of an inch ... remember that width)
in a pipeline. The pressure inside the pipeline is 0 p.s.i.,
while the pressure outside is 2700 p.s.i., or 1.3 tons per square
inch. Then a crab comes along...
nano-robot
: this robot can stop on a dime ... no I mean really .... (picture)
handwritten
real time clock: .... the hands of time ....
ain't
physics fun : great auto commercial ( movie .MOV 4.8Mb )
What if
Rube Goldberg (Heath Robinson for you Brits) designed your auto
ads? This commercial
required 606 takes to get it right ... this is not CGI, just
the wonders of physics and determination.
more
physics fun : ever wonder if those concrete barriers in
front of public buildings work to stop terrorists?
Truck = 65,000 lbs. Speed = 50 mph
Kinetic Energy = 5.5 MILLION ft. lbs. --- Stopped in 24 INCHES!
Surf's
up ....(picture) ... just because it's awesome.
Sand
storm Iraq .... (picture) .... remember the movie, "The
Mummy" ... well, no special effects here... this is the
real deal Iraq 26 April 2005.
A wall of sand traveling at 60 mph.
Funny:
eskimo
vs. fish : the challenging sport of ice fishing ( movie
.MPG 2.3Mb)
Stephen
Hawking runs over Jim Carrey's foot with his wheelchair ....(picture)
for some reason I find it very uplifting to know
that that a man confined permanently
to
a wheelchair, who cannot speak without the aid of a computer,
and who
possesses one of the finest scientific minds of our age can
still find the time
to do his bit for a good sight gag.
Example
of how, "Men
Don't Get The Romance Thing" ... wait for it (movie
.MPG 2.0Mb)
