At 6:20. Concrete ships and boats. There are several here in Australia that work very well. An construction company foreman built a yacht and still sails it.
While we don't see any being built now, there are STILL a lot of concrete ( ferrocrete due to the rebar in them ) yachts in the world. Most well maintained and not in any danger of being abandoned or sinking.
My dad used to own a concrete-hulled tugboat when I was younger. Not sure if it was ferrocrete, ferrocement or some other concrete-reinforcement technique, but it worked. I just remember the inside of the hull down by the bow being as smooth as a paved driveway. FWIW, do a Google search for "ferrocrete", and be prepared to go down some seriously weird and unexpected rabbit holes.
"If you want to build anything thats going to go into the sky, Boeing is probably the right company to approach" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 lmao if you close you eyes and listen very hard, that sad whimpering noise is Boeing shareholders crying
13:10 they didnt need to explain why soldiers flying at low altitude and low speeds would be an easy target for enemy combatants below.. whats that? a bird? a plane? now its a fragile system of fans and soldiers sitting in clear sight..
The cement boat still exists, albeit dilapidated and crumbling under tidal stress. One of the examples rests on the Northern California coast south of Santa Cruz. Named the S.S. Palo Alto, you can still see her at Seacliff state beach.
Why no mention of Ford's Hemp Car ?? There are videos of it here on TH-cam. You all should watch them, especially where he smashes the blunt side of an ax onto the trunk lid of the car & it barely leaves a mark. The car was built to run on hemp fuel. The body was made of hemp fibers, likened to using fiberglass today. Even the seats were covered with cloth made from hemp.
I had a relative in on the RAH-66 program, stated only two were completed. WRONG. There were a lot more completed, not including the two prototypes there were 21 on the production floor awaiting final parts when the program was canceled. From what I understand SF groups obtained them and people occasionally have spotted one or two in Nevada, being a multi role stealth helicopter this wouldn't be a surprise.
The Comanche wasn't cancelled. The project went black for use by special forces troops. Look at the videos of the chopper that was lost during the raid where Bin Laden was killed.
Why on Earth did the Soviets use turbojets on their train rather than turbofans?? I get that fuel was cheap back then, but still not free and jets are _grossly_ inefficient at low speeds. I mean, turbofans would still have been a bad idea for safety (which Russians don't care about anyway), but seem like they would have been a _much_ more appropriate choice.
When I first saw the photo, I thought it was the New York Central's M-497 "Black Beetle." I just looked it up and found it, too, was powered by jet engines, but didn't cost a lot of money since they used available parts. Although it provided a lot of data, the NYC was enmeshed in the disastrous merger with the Pennsylvania RR at the time. It probably wouldn't have worked here anyway, since the infrastructure of railroads in the 1960s was beginning to show the strain of already existing equipment. ('Course, the USSR's railroads, like everything else, are owned by the Gov't, but as was said, even they wouldn't spend money on the scheme.)
If you want to make anything go into the air - by all means - do NOT approach Boeing ^^ That was not a very topical piece of advise but I'll let it slide ;)
They were right when they said "if you want to to get something into the air call Boeing". But If you want it to stay in the air DO NOT go anywhere near Boeing.
The nuclear powered car sounds interesting. Could you imagine a news headline like this? "300000 people died in a car accident. It all hapened today when a speeding car hit a tree."
I think the issue was that the brakes would “leak on” while in motion. Really good for stopping a high speed train yes, but not good when you’re trying to get the train up to high speed in the first place
The government canceled it but from what I was told Homeland Security and a few SF groups got the ones that were 'incomplete' on the production line, I knew someone working on them at the time of cancellation and have a friend that spotted a pair in the Nevada desert a couple months ago.
It's easy to throw away billions of dollars/rubles/euros on a project when it isn't your money! Thanks governments for throwing away taxpayers hard earned money!
Your entire segment on Ferrocement boats and ships (Concrete ships) is inaccurate. Literally thousands of vessels both large and small have been built over the years, the first being a small rowboat back in 1848. It's in a French museum, so IT is the oldest vessel made of concrete. Ferrocement ships, both powered and unpowered were built to haul supplies during both world wars, and one of the largest groupings of these hulls still floating today, form the floating breakwater for a sawmill at Powell River British Columbia Canada. This includes the Quartz, the unpowered hull closest to the Bikini Atoll atomic bomb test to have survived the explosion. Building ferrocement vessels for pleasure use became very popular in the 1970's due to the low cost of building materials, and quite a few were made. How-to books on the subject sold well. Unfortunately, some were slapped together by enthusiastic but less than skilled builders and the building method gained a tarnished reputation. Most of the poorly built examples are long gone now, but some of those that were built properly can still be found in marinas near to where I live. In fact, a very good friend of mine lives on such a vessel, a 50 foot sailing boat built in the 70's that's as sturdy and seaworthy as the day it was launched.
4:10 just like those crazy’s who think that Electric cars are the immediate future and, once again, the gas engine is on its way out. It’s better just to ignore them to be completely honest.
I'm going to have to conditionally disagree with you. In the right conditions, electric cars are indeed worth their own weight, so to speak. For inner city hops, and short travel distances, they're certainly good, if too expensive at this precise moment. It's also worth mentioning that they can launch faster than gas-powered cars, in some cases, which makes them formidable as racers, again, in certain conditions. Just saying, they're not crazy. Just overly optimistic.
In 1964 Japan already had its high speed train, the Shinkansen!! 1981 the French followed with their TGV. The USA-ers only had to ask one of them how to do it, but no, they thought they could do a better job 20 years thereafter. THEY COULDN'T!!!
How do you include a corn car that might not have even existed and completely omit the Trabant with a chassis made out of a cotton waste polymer, that actually had millions produced? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant
Did we not do very well in school? Or is it just the american education system that's not really working very well? It's not the "weight of the materials" that dictate whether a ship floats or not. And concrete is much lighter than steel. Steel is about 4 times heavier than concrete per volume. Or density as we call it . The issue with concrete is tensile strength. Archimedes is rolling over in his grave right now. See also: displacement.
That I know of what you are. But what am I ? Please stop being a bully. Triple tap is very Degrigating. Degradation of other people is very common place among Highschool children. That is.

That is. I'm just a person that doesn't like to see waste. Then to have witnessed people often that wasted a pile of money on Crank. Awhile they had children. That it had abandoned. The type of income in excess of a half million dollars.
the abandoned floating McDonalds isn't remarkable in any way, apart from showing what a shitty company McDonald's is. its "technology" and construction are all totally standard. wheres the damn Ekranoplan, thats what I want to know, would have been way cooler and more interesting than some derelict McBarge. or that weird Antarctic exploration vehicle with huge wheels that didn't work at all and was abandoned as soon as it got to Antarctica.
They used hemp in cars to an it made a car strong as steel an dent proof. But just like the electric car an cigarette, big business kept those from consumers to turn a profit.

5:27 Nixon looking at Breshnev like “bruh can I copy?”
hahahaha i was thinking the same
The soybean car would have a lot of trouble with insects lol
It probably had weak grip and power but a very 'hip' windshield...
The batmobile from the original series came off the line pretty much looking like the batmobile
3:35 it wasn't called the Chrysler Turbine Ghia. Just Chrysler Turbine, the body was made by Ghia, an Italian company.
Today I learned that the Comanche attack helicopter wasn't just something made up for the Mega Drive game "Jungle Strike"...
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Some fishing boats in Cuba are also "ferro-cemento." Concrete ships/boats are used there.
Chrysler Packard was making Merlin engines Chevy was designing and making P-51 Ford was making P-51
wasnt the first version of any Merlin engine done by Rolls-Royce
There was a concrete cement sailboat yacht had to be 50 ft long in my harbor in my hometown

Boeing should have watched My Science Project,lol as they had a laser plane in 1985 lol
oh hey, there was a MacDonald's barge in st louis Missouri for a while also.
evilben the McBarge
It was a river boat, I’ve been there
I'm pretty sure the reason why piasecki vz-8 airgeep project was abandoned because of the amount of noise it makes.

When you realize steel is more dense than concrete.

Lightweight materials... like steel.
wheres the avro arrow
There was no cars manufactured during the war at least in the United States
Am I the only one that thought of the Eddie Murphy skit on GWC and the peanut when the soybean car was mentioned???
Train brakes work buy using air to hold off the brakes so if they fail or have a leak they lock on how can it fail if they fill with air ?
I think the issue was that the brakes would “leak on” while in motion. Really good for stopping a high speed train yes, but not good when you’re trying to get the train up to high speed in the first place
The U.S. couldn't really afford the price of the chopper they canceled it
The government canceled it but from what I was told Homeland Security and a few SF groups got the ones that were 'incomplete' on the production line, I knew someone working on them at the time of cancellation and have a friend that spotted a pair in the Nevada desert a couple months ago.
Space planes were made in the US. The Dumpster.
