[QUOTE=Jukka K;52697576]Had to look that up. It's an art project by Agnes Denes. Really interesting. [I]"Planting and harvesting a field of wheat on land worth $4.5 billion created a powerful paradox."[/I] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/WvScLMl.png[/IMG] Image like this would be really easy to photoshop together, but knowing a small field of wheat was actually grown for it gives a lot of new depth. Here's more images: [URL]http://www.agnesdenesstudio.com/works7.html[/URL][/QUOTE] That's really awesome. I love contrasts of urban & rural like this. Like that sci-fi artist that always gets posted here.

Someone on reddit posted these designs by Robert Chew, and they're fucking awesome. Also is there a way to tag Imgur galleries so you can just scroll through them on FP? [url]https://imgur.com/t/gaming/Wn8Qm[/url]

I doubt it's actually filled with propellant though, probably just weights.

[QUOTE=Paul-Simon;52718737]I doubt it's actually filled with propellant though, probably just weights.[/QUOTE] Well yeah, you wouldn't be jettisoning a full booster. I was talking about the jettisoning rockets. If it had exploded it would have thrown pieces a long way.

That's a strong inflatable, wonder how much PSI that balloon reached when the booster hit it.

Every US turbine powered locomotive design ever built, gathered for a post in another thread, thought it might be of interest here. Posted in order of construction. [t]https://photos.smugmug.com/UtahRails/Union-Pacific/UP-Diesels-UPRR-Photos/i-fjb42Zt/1/9dd37557/X2/up-1_steam-turbine_with-train_uprr-photo-X2.jpg[/t] [T]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4b/GE_steam_turbine_locomotive_test_run_1938.jpg[/T] GE Steam Turbine 1939. A pair, built complete with condensers and water tube boiler. Genuinely astonishing feat of engineering, dead within six months of the first trial. [T]https://i.redd.it/t5qkoyw1o7by.jpg[/T] [T]http://revivaler.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Pennsylvania-Railroad-S2-Steam-Turbine-3-fiveprime.org_.jpg[/T] PRR S2, 1944. The largest direct drive turbine engine ever built, and the only one in the US. To this day, unparalleled above 100mph by any kind of motive power, atrocious at any other speed. Ate firebox staybolts for breakfast. Also note the kid in the second picture, for as sense of scale. [T]http://www.american-rails.com/images/NW_JawnHenry.jpg[/T] [T]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ac/Chesapeake_and_Ohio_Railway_steam_turbine_locomotive_500.JPG[/T] C&O M1, 1947. Three were built for a passenger service that was canceled before it ever ran, depriving them of their reason to exist. Firetube boiler, crazy complexity. Again A fantastic design, despite none of them ever completing their intended run once without breaking. [T]https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e5/Union_Pacific_18.jpg[/T] [T]http://www.american-rails.com/images/UPGTEL52.jpg[/T] UP GTEL's, 1953. Only gas turbines built in the US, by order of magnitude the most successful. As powerful as they were inefficient. [T]http://www.american-rails.com/images/CrestlineQ24464.jpg[/T] [T]http://www.american-rails.com/images/NWJWTHEN2300.jpg[/T] N&W's Jawn Henry, 1955. Water tube boiler rated for 1500 PSI, a fantastic size to match it's fantastic complexity, and the longest lived of the steam turbines, being in service for 3 years. (Though the S2 sat around for a number of years, so it existed for the longest time) Suffered the same problems of coal dust and water mingling with electronics. [T]https://i.pinimg.com/736x/69/0a/a3/690aa30a45760add92ca54ceaef21975--pennsylvania-railroad-popular-mechanics.jpg[/T] There was also a proposed steam turbine the PRR was interested in, which Raymond Loewy had been tinkering with styling ideas for a while. Though it's for the better it was never built. As it turns out, having a prime mover in a vehicle with fantastic complexity and a hyper narrow band of optimal operational efficiency isn't a great idea. Whoops.

Don't forget Union Pacific's Coal Turbine, which was so fucking unreliable it barely even ran 10,000 miles(which isn't much for a train) before UP struck it from their roster. [T]http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/up80.jpg[/T] Also here's some diagrams of the X-12, a nuclear powered locomotive that was proposed but never built. [T]https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--GDX1EFzX--/c_scale,f_auto,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/685068839921420975.jpg[/T] [T]https://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--sHhYlTcn--/c_scale,fl_progressive,q_80,w_800/685068840120598191.jpg[/T] [QUOTE]The X-12 would have weighed 360 tons and been 160 feet long—so long that the engine had to be divided into two sections, with a flexible vestibule connecting them. The nuclear power source would have been a solution of fissionable U-235, contained in a tank 3 feet long and a foot in diameter. This would, in turn, have been enclosed within a 200-ton shield. Steam produced by the reactor would power turbines which would drive four generators. These would create the 7000 hp of electricity required to power the motors driving the wheels. The entire 65-foot rear section of the engine would have been taken up by the condensers and radiators (equivalent to "1000 automobile radiators").[/QUOTE] Source: [URL]https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-days-of-atomic-locomotives-in-america-1564623650[/URL] Also let's not forget the New York Central's rocket-propelled train. [T]http://www.american-rails.com/images/NYCBlackBTL.jpg[/T] The rockets were eventually taken off and used as snow blowers. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-497_Black_Beetle[/URL] And onto a non-train related and a bit darker topic, here's a video I found on YouTube showing footage from Centralia, PA(the inspiration for Silent Hill) when they were evacuating the town due to the coal seam fire in the 80s-90s. [video=youtube;Ng5n2ZAxq4g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng5n2ZAxq4g[/video] There's actually a bit for a debate about when and how the fire started, most people say in started in 1962 when a landfill in a old strip mine was burned and fire the spread into the coal through holes in the strip mine's walls while some said it might have started in 1932 when there was another coal fire that may not have been fully extinguished. But either way it's still burning and it's going to be for at least over 250 years. As for the video, there's some interesting bits in it like when they're showing the holes that have fire coming out of them.

Isn't it wrong to call jet engines "rockests"?

Initially part of the Belgian Cavalry, when Belgium capitulated he left for England from Dunkerque. Soon after he went back to France where efforts were being made to establish a Belgian Army. When the Franco-German armistice ended, he found his way to Gibraltar via Marseilles. There he joined a group of Belgian pilots trying to reach England via Morocco but he was apprehended and imprisoned in a POW camp near Montpellier. He escaped and arrived in England where he immediately reported as a volunteer, forging his papers so he could be trained by the RAF as a fighter pilot, as, at 28 years old, he was too old to be admitted. He served with 609 Sqn of 11 Group from 30 September 1941 onwards. Here he quickly developed into an aggressive and able pilot. Through his Belgian contacts, Jean de Sélys kept up to date with developments in his country and soon he devised a plan to raid the Gestapo HQ in his hometown of Brussels. His main motive was the fact that his father had died from having been tortured by the security police (SIPO). The security police and the secret police (SD) had moved into the apartment building at 453 Avenue Louise. After finalising his plan he repeatedly asked authorities for permission to carry it out but his request always fell on deaf ears. He continued planning his action in secret, however. By 20 January 1943 he still didn’t have an answer so he decided to proceed on his own. That day, together with his wingman and comrade F/S Blanco they took off for Belgium in their Hawker Typhoons, with orders to attack railway junctions in Belgium. de Sélys armed his aircraft to the limit and took along a bag full of little Belgian flags that Belgian schoolchildren in London had made for him. After completing their official mission, Jean de Sélys knew he finally had his opportunity and ordered his wingman to return to England alone and set course for Brussels himself. [B]Flying as low as possible, he reached the Belgian capital unscathed, soon found his target and, with guns blazing, launched his attack. He executed his attack so precisely that the building was riddled with bullets but no other object was hit. He scattered his little flags over Brussels, dropped a Belgian flag over the Royal Palace at Laken and another one in the garden of his niece, Barones de Villegas de Saint-Pierre before returning to Manston.[/B] [B]During the attack, four German soldiers were killed instantly including the Chief of the SD, SS-Sturmbannführer Alfred Thomas and a high-ranking Gestapo officer named Commander Müller. Numerous others were either lightly or gravely inured. Some reports suggest at least 30 were killed. The building itself had sustained so much damage, it took more than six weeks before it could be used again.[/B] On his return to base, de Selys received a warm welcome from his comrades but was demoted to Pilot Officer and transferred to No.3 squadron on 13 March in punishment for disobeying orders to fly off and play resistance fighter. Despite his degradation to Captain-pilot, the British awarded him the DFC later on (May 31 1943) – citation : [I]This Officer is a pilot of exceptional ability and keenness. He shows a great offensive spirit and is eager to engage and destroy the enemy whenever possible. He has shown his great courage and initiative in numerous railtransport and the Gestapo headquarters attack in Brussels. He has also destroyed at least one enemy aircraft and damaged another.[/I] On 16 August 1943, after returning from a mission over Ostend in his beloved Belgium, he crashed on landing at Manston and was killed . You can find his grave, number 3002A, in Minster Cemetery nearby. Number 453 Avenue Louise still stands today, and the Belgian people have erected a statue to their heroic, if disobedient, flying resistance fighter. To look at the location of the former Gestapo building, you can see it on Google Maps (best viewed on Google Chrome) here, although the large tower block opposite is a more recent addition: [url]https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.8177103,4.3750816,306a,20y,270h,43.58t/data=!3m1!1e3[/url] [/QUOTE] [url]http://www.manstonhistory.org.uk/flt-baron-jean-de-selys-longchamps-attack-gestapo-hq-hectic-day-no-609-sqn-january-20-1943/[/url]
