I hope that I get to see fusion reactors become sustainable in my life time. It is amazing that we have been able to replicate the process that happens inside stars here on our own planet.

i saw a reactor in Germany last time i was there(2 years or was it three) didnt have time to do the tour of the thing though so all i saw was the cooling chimneys belching steam

canada was( not sure if still is) is a leading country on peace time usage of nuclear energy with our CANDU reactors which are used often in europe

fison power one bathtub of water IIRC would provide enough power (in split hydrogen) to last an entire liftime for one person

Interesting to note that of the two explosions during the Chernobyl incident, only one of them may have been a nuclear explosion; the other — and possibly both —  being a steam explosion from the superheated cooling water. One tends to associate steam explosions with the Industrial Age, not the Nuclear.

yes also the 2011 disaster in japan was a water caused breakdown

yes indead though the beetle uses it more to defend itsself 

i just had another idea have water in the turret so when someone gets to close the turret comes round and sprays them

boy o boy and thers still mor on the beetle to plan

I'm thinking a giant scarites beetle could be animated in the same way. Maybe spread it's wings and clack its mandibles. Just think of having it handing out Halloween candy! Hmmm?

with the bowl in-between the mandibles

The internet is like any tool. The more effective it is, the more dangerous it is.

this is like the advancement of bombs the first where black powder some metal scraps in bamboo or paper this has now evolved into the highly effective and lethal hydrogen bombs that create many millions the destruction of the first ones. but this is efficient in what it does the first ones where meant to injure or sare the enemy

an atom bomb is meant to wipe out large industrial areas quickly these both do the job they where meant for 

back to Thomas' original post this is like when people say the German tiger was a bad tank, it was used in the wrong spot it was meant as a heavy breakthrough tank not as a steady fighter. when Germany bite to much off of the USSR they through every thing in even if they weren't designed for this. the tigers took a long down time  to repair this was good for attacking as they pushed through the hardest units and the rest of the army came behind to relive them establish a perimeter and finish sweeping out the enemy but when they had no tine to repair of course they had problems do you run a truck without changing oil or a motor if you know a gear is missing a few teeth you wont run it same thing they knew things where braking but didn't try to fix it as there was no time so then of course they broke down and people started to call them unreliable this is not the case the problem was a change in agenda they where made to attack not to defend thus when they where force to do a job they weren't meant for things went bad, like if you need to cut some metal but all you got is a wood saw it ight work but is gonna break something same with the tiger

sorry for the rant but I can get pretty fired up sometimes when its a thing that i care about especially when people miss inform  others on those things.

 After welding the sides in place I slid all the pieces together and tacked them in place so I could keep them all centered and even. Hence all the arc marks. Scratch start TIG likes to jump when you pull it off fast and not really paying attention....

thanks i never saw the arc marks till you mentioned it mine will be done with either .035 or .040 wire

or 1/8 7018 rod (i was given an almost full box and have tried 1 rod)

ok so the report is bad, definitely cast, 30-40% rebound also wondering if it is a cast steel possibly as has a good ring from 1/2" bearing ball and the rebound was like twice my cast aso (15-20ish) still dont think will get

on the plus side guy at store gave me the name of another local smith Pioneer blacksmithing he has a web site with that name as well and recently started a local guild so not all bad today
