  • From last night's kerbal space program live-stream - building out a new, stock rocket that can carry a Kerbal to the Mun and back in under 90 minutes. Still hoping to beat my 58 minute record from version 0.9, but need a bit more time to build this out.

      Scott, you gotta clean that off first then apply a pea sized dot of thermal paste onto the cpu before re-installing. With the old stuff I am sure it was working fine, but you probably weren't getting full turbo, and with a bit of dust acting as air restriction over the past 2 years, it will only get hotter and louder as the fan compensates.

      I opened my laptop ~half a year ago for the first time, because my hinges were getting loose. Bought it autumn 2012. The fan looked more like a vaccuum cleaner's dustbag than a fan. The laptop sped up like it was brand new, and the metal parts of connectors didn't burn anymore. After that experience I've been cleaning up my fans periodically.

      Being in one piece a minute later isn't so hard... the tricky part is in ensuring that the "one piece" is still above ground level (as opposed to having "negative altitude") and possesses some measure of depth in the "Z" dimension (as opposed to being spread very thinly over a wide area).

      Full disclosure - I'm not in a program, I've just been self-studying. That said, I'd start with the following textbooks if you want to get a jump on formalizing your education: "Nuclear Reactor Analysis", Dunderstad/Hamilton, "Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering", Shultis/Faw for basic processes. "Measure and Detection of Radiation", Tsoulfanidis/Landsberger, give you a focused background on, er, detection and measurement. Lay books that give a bunch of background: "Atomic Awakenings" and "Atomic Accidents" by James Mahaffey gives good history and accidents - they're both very accessible books, and the author is a knowledgable practitioner. "Nuclear Energy: What Everyone Needs to Know", by Charles Ferguson, gives a very concise history of things like the Uranium fuel cycle and general reactor technology, but at a very high level (it's a short book and gets to the point, but it's a book of breadth more than depth).

    FYI on the SL-1 story that Scott talked about: SL-1 was a 3 megawatt US Army test reactor. Apparently during testing, one of the control rods had been sticking so a tech yanked on it to try to free it up a bit. It became unstuck and was subsequently pulled out too far, causing the instantaneous reaction. When it went prompt critical, it generated 20 Gigawatts of power in 4 thousandths of a second. This had the effect of vaporizing all the internal nuclear material and moderating water instantly and sent the entire reactor (20,000 lbs / ~10,000kg) upwards at 27' per second and blowing the top of the reactor off. The supervisor was pinned to the ceiling (as Scott mentioned) with a control rod and another was also found dead when the firemen arrived in response to a fire alarm. One man survived for a short time, but passed away shortly after being rescued. The combination of radiation exposure, blunt force trauma, and being heavily scalded by steam meant he had no chance for recovery. When the investigation started, they knew if was a prompt critical incident by looking at one of the guys gold watch: a significant amount of the metal had been turned to a radioactive gold isotope.
    More information on the SL-1 reactor incident can be found online (like here: digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1053436/m1/1/ ).

    Scott, I've also been playing with racing to the Mun for a while now. I can get to the Mun in under 35 minutes, but the return trip takes too long due to problems with heat. I'll try the ablative+radiator concept as that seems to be working really well. I wonder if any incremental gains can be made by doing a turn and burn instead of burning straight up? Although all my fastest runs have been going straight up.

When I made a good, alien-looking ship out of silver fairings and Mk1 inline cockpits with only the bubbles showing (and lit), the overclocked ion engine would break free and tear through the rest of the 12-ton ship if I gave it more than about 1/3 throttle.

    Yeah, the SL-1 reactor incident was sketchy asf. Like the guy hanging from the ceiling for about a week and a 130 degree room, not rotting because he had been sterilized by the radiation.

      Shake n Blake l January 3, 1961. It's unknown what killed him first. I like to think that the massive pressure wave it created from all the water flashing to steam and shooting the control rod out knocked him unconscious before he felt anything else. But there's no way to know. It's because of that incident, that all reactors built in America or any similar designs across the world are designed so that even if the most reactive rod in the core (the rod with the most unburned fuel in proximity) is pulled entirely out of the core, it won't go critical. Prompt or otherwise.

    Random Question for you Scott. I noticed in a previous video you had a Blue Yeti Mic sitting on a shelf, but you record using a Blue Snowball.... but the Yeti is a better Mic in most peoples opinion. So why the Snowball?

  • @kyovalye5942

    • @Jtretta
      @Jtretta 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Yes he is. That incident kept the US Army from ever having portable reactors and scared the heck out of the naval nuclear community. Surprisingly it was a simple problem to fix. Simply add more shutdown margin with more control rod reactivity. Keeps the reactor subcritical even with a control rod fully withdrawn.

    • @grifballa

They are not and wiggles like hell until it explodes...

    Hey Scott is there any addon or anything for KSP that fixes the glitch where if i dock crafts together in space sometimes (or if i use fairings on my launch vehicle) the craft begins to shake and it gets more and more violent until the craft shakes itself apart. Its apparent since this glitch is still around in 1.3 that the dev's dont care about it and are going to let it stand. So is there anyway I can manually fix this? like increasing the tolerances in a setting ? Or possibly an addon that stops the shaking.
