We Can Deflect Lightning With Powerful Lasers

Lightning rods were invented in the 1700s by Benjamin Franklin.

Great explanations and examples! What was the process for combining different elements back then? Double exposing the film itself or reshooting the combined elements? And / or other techniques?
Thanks! Yes, double exposure was the most common technique.
The artillery vehicle camera pan right was brilliant😂 The juxtaposition of that small frame with an enormous boiler just made my day better
Haha, thanks! No wonder that vehicle was unstable 😂
so cool
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hi there, been binging your vids for past an hour and it's been a blast, please don't stop on your youtube, it'll surely grow, i really have high hopes in you! P.S you remind me of lemmino
Thank you for your support! It means a lot to me. And yes, I definitely won't stop. In fact, there will be a new video tomorrow. It's going to be pretty interesting!
Great video
Thanks!
You have consistently been putting out interesting and high quality videos! Looking forward to the next one. And please don’t focus too much on the comments regarding your accent. Your English is nearly perfect and your accent is completely understandable.
Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate your support. By the way, there will be a new video tomorrow and it'll be quite interesting!
Everything beautiful, except the fact that: - the price are still very high IMO - the wood rots and carries even dangerous mold - if you move to another house after 10 years, the price of your house (which I remember was high) will be much lower because of the durability

How can the Pigments be made so that it can still work below -10c°?
The problem at low temperatures is not with the pigment particles, but with other components of e-readers. The battery stops working properly, losing power quickly, the plastic becomes brittle like glass, and the oil inside the capsules becomes too viscous to allow the particles to move. So, to allow e-readers to work at extremely low temperatures, we need to fix all of the things I mentioned. But even if we fix the e-ink displays, the battery still won't work properly. Smartphones (and other devices with batteries) don't work at extremely low or high temperatures either, for the same reason. The problem is the battery.
Some bus stops now use eink displays for the departure board. If it refreshes once every 30 seconds during the day(60 seconds at night) then they'll still take like 12 years before they hit the 10,000,000 refreshes that the displays are rated for. I assume they're more reliable than LCDs/dot matrix displays too since they're doing nothing most of the time but this is a guess. Definitely use a tiny fraction of the power though which would let them be powered by a small solar panel and small battery(to stay on overnight) whereas with the other types of displays you'd have to run a grid power connection to the bus stop. Would still need a little control board and 3g though to give the display it's data, but still much cheaper than connecting the bus stop to the grid since those can be solar too.
This is a great example of where e-ink displays should be used. I don't see the point in putting them in computer screens or smartphones. That's not the best place for them. But timetables are a great place for e-ink displays. You're right, they're reliable, they save energy, and are just as good as LCD/dot-matrix displays in terms of readability.
Just found your channel, big fan so far. Keep making videos, you'll be the next big engineering channel!
Thank you for your support!

Thanks for the correction. I meant meganewtons, not millinewtons.
lol. its... so cool... when elon actually delivers ill agree. 4 now, its still science fiction.
Don't be so pessimistic. Will it get to Mars? Someday, maybe. Not in this decade, though. But it'll definitely deliver cargo to orbit pretty soon. It's not science fiction because there have already been several test flights. This thing flies. At the current rate of development it'll start delivering cargo to orbit within a few years.
@@Design_Nerd im not being pessimistic. its called being realistic- i said "when" / "4 now". I have hope also but fact- elon has not delivered to date what he promised and took money for. Elon is a smart guy. but im not gona be blinded by the obvious.
This video is good information ❤ thanks you brother

All that is fine, buy why do they still keep on building cardboard houses in places prone to tornadoes

hey that’s my picture at 0:48, never thought i’d see it in a youtube vid lol
Haha, that’s cool! Do you want me to credit you? I can put your name in the video description.
@@Design_Nerd nah, you’re good, thanks for asking tho, i don’t mind ya using it at all, i just thought it was cool that a pic i took almost 5 years ago happened to come up in a video i just watched today
Great video. I just think many Europeans like to make fun of Americans and it has become a running joke. Here in Japan we have the same kind of houses but nobody is commenting we have cardboard walls.
did i just see a light bulb as a way to dampen earthquakes????
Do you mean covered light bulbs? In some Japanese earthquake-proof buildings, light bulbs are covered to protect people in case the bulbs explode.
And now there was another earthquake in Taiwan today
It's very sad. But at least Taiwan is very well protected from earthquakes. That's why most of the buildings remained virtually undamaged. This is a good example of how important the infrastructure is. Yes, we can't stop earthquakes, but we can prepare for them and prevent most of the damage.
@@Design_Nerd and speaking of earthquakes, guess what happened today? My house shook, this was literally the first ever earthquake I have ever experienced in my life, and our city NEVER get these. What's going on with these earthquakes? Is 2024 the year of earthquakes? I wonder where it will strike next
Crazy that it was completed within only 5 years
I would think the biggest problem is the ungodly noise from those turbines
Nope
Yeah, they're actually quite noisy. The engines produce 140 dB of noise, which is loud.
this is a great channel bro keep it up

We want Mriya back
I hope they build a new one. It won't be easy though because the components of the plane were made in the 1980s and are no longer in production.
@@Design_Nerd I know the other airframe for Mryia was around the Antonov factory at Sviatoshyn Airfield. Would be a great opportunity to give it new avionics and better and efficient engines. Sadly also the An-22 got damaged.
Hopefully. There is a demand for such planes, so it's not only in the interests of Ukraine. But even if someone funded the restoration right now, realistically, it would still take at least a decade. We won't see Mriya anytime soon.
nice vid but we wanna say boeing 380 got me laughting gonna support you
