Video Post: a huge technique and physical phenomena
Nature is an amazing architect, creating the most incredible creations. But millions of years of evolution were not in vain. Today, man creates mechanisms that compete in "special effects" with physical phenomena, equal in age to the Earth itself. In today's selection for geek relaxation, we decided in an unusual way to combine the topics of man-made technology with the demonstration of some laws of physics. How to present it in practice? But look.
Children will learn about recursion at school, and some even before school. But one thing is to encounter it in mathematics or in pictures, and quite another when recursion is reproduced by technical means. And if this is a giant powerful machines, it is quite breathtaking.
Since we are talking about a huge special equipment ... Have you ever wondered how dump trucks are going? This video captures a small fragment of the Caterpillar 797 construction, one of the largest dump trucks in the world (nearly 400 tons of payload) with mechanical transmission:
')
This machine is capable of creating man-made mountains, which will require nature for thousands of years (or one powerful earthquake).
No matter how great this car, yet it is not the largest and lifting in the world. Today, the palm is among all the dump trucks at the BelAZ-75710, which can carry up to 450 tons of cargo. Although the network has a video where he goes on a test run with 503.5 TVs on the body.
In general, modern heavy machinery is able to work wonders, creating a technique of enormous size and capabilities. Of course, the absolute record belongs to the ships.
From the point of view of a person who is far from shipbuilding, when a ship leaves the stocks, it is a kind of unchanged design. This is partly the case. But remember the “possibilities” and “wonders” - modern shipbuilders, if necessary, can lengthen or shorten the already finished ships. For example, the work on inserting an additional section into this cruise ship took only two months:
It is always very interesting to observe the process of creating some things and cars, especially those to which you are used to. After all, usually you don’t even wonder how much science, labor and technology are invested in most ordinary things, what principles underlie their work. And again, we can learn about many things quickly and simply thanks to the flourishing of slow motion and accelerated shooting technologies. For example, here is how beautiful the cavitation effect looks in the most ordinary blender:
Have you ever dripped water into a skillet with hot oil? Not too nice effect is obtained, especially if you stand nearby. And what will happen if you pour more oil into the oil, heat it up harder, and splash water more generously?
A little more about the drops. The Prince Rupert Drop is a type of tempered glass resulting from a drop of molten glass in cold water. If you damage the “tail” of the drop, it instantly explodes like a grenade.
Craftsmen sought to obtain a similar effect with ordinary honey, freezing the sweetness in liquid nitrogen.
Or take a laser. Everyone knows what it is, although few understand its nature. The laser is used in various fields, and it’s not unusual for anyone to use images, for example, on different surfaces with it. But how, it turns out, the application process itself is fascinating!
And once we started this post with recursion, we end up with the Droste effect, but in a very unusual interpretation. How about plunging into recursion completely and starting to view it with a 360 degree view? It is hard to even imagine what interesting effects people will see when they watch this video with virtual reality glasses.
That's all for today. See you in the next issue of video geek-relaxation! The world is an amazing thing, there are more miracles in it than in all fantasy books combined.
