I'm still sort of skeptical about the validity of that rating, as that's a logarithmic measure-of-magnitude scale, and it just doesn't seem to qualify for some of the tickboxes I mean, it didn't send a plume of vapourised reactor contents floating several thousand miles across a large part of the northern hemisphere for one thing.
The water pollution is actually fairly bitcoin mining calculator x1120, and although it's been measured and tracked with ease, that's because radiation detectors are bitcoin mining calculator x1120 sensitive devices on the whole. No-one on the site died during the initial incident, no-one received such large doses that they died within a matter of days if not hours, and they didn't have to immediately forcibly bus the entire local population out of the area for fear of them succumbing to radiation sickness before the year was out.
We saw this drama unfolding over a matter of days after all The evacuations are mainly on a just-in-case basis. All the melted fuel is solidified somewhere in the ground underneath the plant, so it doesn't need a janky concrete cube to be hastily thrown up around it. The plant isn't even necessarily unsalvageable, though hopefully they won't be fool enough to try Some byproducts did escape, some people have had significant but not immediately lethal or crippling exposure bitcoin mining calculator x1120 the effects of which will take time to show - and there has been significant local disruption as a civil protection measure.
But it's not on a "hundreds if not thousands of deaths and immediate ruin of an area the size of Greater London which might last for millennia" scale. That's a matter for the statisticians, I think. I can't remember if there were any reports of direct casualties, but there's a lot of staff who have almost certainly received much higher doses than was originally admitted to.
Including most bitcoin mining calculator x1120 the firefighters, even those in the helicopters. That's something that takes a long time to show in the population. Of course, the tsunami itself was far more deadly, so it's a matter of comparitive harm I suppose. Even so, like Grenfell, it could easily, and should have been much safer than it actually was.
Both of them have a thread of "how could anyone so bloody stupid have been put in charge of something so crucial and fundamental? Let's hope no-one's put polyethylene cladding on a reactor yet. Given that it's Japan, I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear of at least bitcoin mining calculator x1120 half dozen suicides that could be directly linked to being evac'd from the Fukushima area. Including an A flown into it in bitcoin mining calculator x1120 full on vertical dive, only just slow enough to avoid total structural breakup before impact?
Now in comparison, most smaller reactor designs can be considered inherently safe simply because of the small amount of material they contain - for one thing, not enough to make a bomb from, so there's a limit to how much havoc can be caused There was only the one method of generating backup power, no emergency batteries, no protected hardline to bring a minimal amount of power in from the grid to run the pumps, and no passive method of circulating cooling water to keep built-up bitcoin mining calculator x1120 heat from melting the fuel if all the power bitcoin mining calculator x1120 out.
Not even a small auxiliary turbine bitcoin mining calculator x1120 could use steam produced by that selfsame heat to directly turn a mechanical pump, turbocharger style. And even if you consider "has external diesel generators" as a suitable failsafe, bitcoin mining calculator x1120 the design may have been fine but its placement was absolutely boneheaded.
Fuel tanks on top of the gensets instead of the other way round, no snorkels on the air intakes, etc. Despite it being at sea level, in a particularly earthquake-vulnerable area of a country more or less directly over a continental faultline and often beset with tsunamis.
Add to that seemingly no proper contingency plan for preventing fuel meltdown in the case of total water circulation failure which could have happened for various other reasons anywaye. Not to mention the weird choice of where to put the longer-term waste storage pools right at the top of the building, where water needs a lot of energy to be pumped to and anything that leaks will piss all over the lower levels and the lack of suitable hydrogen venting should they also bitcoin mining calculator x1120 to cook off Or at least some extra layers of concrete foundation, bitcoin mining calculator x1120 such to break up the material that might fall through?
Anything that would have prevented it settling into a big ol' solidified puddle of radioactive awfulness, and stopped the reactor water leaching away into the soil? That makes me wonder actually The stuff must still convect after all, and I bet there are pumps somewhere within the system. Bit of a problem on a day like today, though Well, there apparently exists a motorcycle jacket version of the same Thing is it's normally not those parts that take the most damage Anyway, I've long been in favour of external airbags on vehicles, actually.
Detects an impending high speed impact with an object of sufficient size and triggers the bags in sequence from the ground level upwards, to make sure they're scooped up off their feet instead of being slammed to the floor even harder.
Ultimately coming to rest on the bonnet as the uppermost bag deflates. The bags being covered in a sticky and brightly coloured substance that means they need a little help to be removed bitcoin mining calculator x1120 the front of the vehicle so they don't then just get hurled up the roadand it also leaves a stain for a few weeks that screams "I'm an idiot who blunders out into traffic".
Might even see if it's possible to texture the outside of the bag so it actually prints that. Alternatively you bitcoin mining calculator x1120 take the actively hostile route and forgo the sticky stuff, and sequence the bags so that after the initial scooping starts, the others wait just that split second longer before all firing at once, catapulting the errant passenger of foot gracefully through the air at roughly bitcoin mining calculator x1120 faster than the vehicle itself was travelling.
With points being scored for, e. Which might encourage people to start paying attention before leaving the relative safety of the pavement. I'm having to dodge what feels like an ever-increasing number of oblivious roadway invaders these days. I wonder what the sensible minimum power and torque requirements are to push a Landie along at emissions-test bitcoin mining calculator x1120 Or at a pace suitable for modern traffic, and to grind it over a mountain with the transfer in 4L?
Pretty certain it came for a fairly long time with at least some options under hp, maybe even under bitcoin mining calculator x1120, which means EG they could have made a deal with Nissan and popped in the 1. Not something I bought the car for, only found out after the fact even it was a rushed 2nd hand insurance-money purchasebut it was neat bitcoin mining calculator x1120 find out. Do you really want to chuck a Defender along with more than bhp for anything other than showing-off reasons?
The acceleration tends to be gentle and the cruising speeds both moderate and sustained. It would have had a particularly marked effect if they kept the same general gearing for road use and just adapted the low range reduction to suit, because I'm pretty sure the car's somewhat weird ratio selection is specifically aimed at good test results, as the EU even specifies what gear they expect the tester to prefer for each section It wouldn't have caused any issue in mounting, there'd have been tons of space left under the bonnet afterwards, even with a straight or vee six Probably would have had a hard time selling the traditional landie buyers on the idea, however.
Large capacity bitcoin mining calculator x1120 lots of grunt seems to be the order of play, even though gearing down and letting the low-friction, low-reciprocating mass, optimised-airflow petrol burning hairdryer rev in its happiest range would still do the business just fine and be about as economic if not moreso.
It'd just sound a bit off And really you're not going to impress anyone with your tints, dropped suspension, bodykit, black laquered alloys D it's all about the 4. Ditto - at the time - converting it for electric drive, even though it would have been absolutely perfect for it, especially bitcoin mining calculator x1120 a carefully lightened frame, and maybe copious solar panels on all those lovely flat surfaces Nowadays it might have got a bit bitcoin mining calculator x1120 kudos. And the tech is incrementally better.
It's mostly image that sold the last of those old soldiers after all. Except for a few hardcore types, I can't see it having really been for utility, let alone performance. And that means they would have had serious trouble adapting the frame, bodywork, etc both for improved aerodynamics and crash safety. Probably cost an absolute fortune to build, too. Slightly annoyed that it's iOS bitcoin mining calculator x1120 Android only, as I already need to do a serious cleanout on my phone because the apps that are in there are overloading the available storage space A web version would have been nice Hopefully it is at least droid tablet compatible rather than demanding to be installed on a phone as certain apps do so I can borrow one to give the test a go.
I may or bitcoin mining calculator x1120 not be on the lookout for bitcoin mining calculator x1120 job of that description, is the thing - that and I live within much easier reach of two of their larger factories than I do my current place of work They might have had a chance if Albarn and co hadn't decided to drop the cartoons on an increasingly regular basis. I liked them more when the kayfabe was still in place. All the IRL appearances kind of expose the reality of it being the pet project of a couple of 40somethings who were cool in the early-mid 90s and then started to have trouble staying relevant in their own right But then maybe they're not entirely after the year-old vote, but the upper end of the ABC1s.
People who have had a little experience in the work environment and know there's more to making electronics bitcoin mining calculator x1120 than just putting Mindstorms together or buying RPi hats. Well, if he's a Brummie lad, that's simply a case of paying respect to your local legends They're in a middle of an apprentice-recruiting binge at the moment, so it's unlikely they WANT old and experienced.
I'm interested, but wondering if at 35 and a history mostly in IT services and AV I might already be too creaky bitcoin mining calculator x1120 have too much knowledge under the belt.
And that's without considering what appears to be the electric equivalent of automatic transmission lag off the line - which is one of the reasons there even exists a petrol version that bitcoin mining calculator x1120 If electrics are going to be sold on the basis of being nippier, having instantaneous lung-collapsing acceleration and the like, it'd be nice if it was Something with a second k sprint time isn't cutting that mustard with me.
That's the performance of an economy-tuned 1. This is largely due to the small edit window and me having not pre-planned this alarmingly sprawling essay. The information may still be of use, it just didn't find a home up above. Also I've just noticed that I misread the torque rpm as instead of "" somehow.
Thus a quick correction to all posted figures, rounding that off to "" which makes bugger all realworld difference. Thus more disappointing still vs it kicking in at 10mph for the ICEs Power produced at that speed is therefore a rather healthier 63bhp, very nearly its bitcoin mining calculator x1120 peak power - which may well, therefore, hit at 65bhp plateau no later than rpm the brilliance of modern digital controllers, eh Still, it kinda fits with the acceleration.
The leccy should come out a bit faster than that, given that the petrol probably doesn't achieve full power until at least mph, and will have to change gear at least twice along the way, so I can only presume that initial lag is at bitcoin mining calculator x1120 equal to the generally needed rev-up time seeing as the sprint time is a minimum, measured only from when the wheels start to turn Now, as power is merely force multiplied by velocity - i.
And in this case, even though we don't have the full details of the power curve, we do have the torque at a certain speed, and a reasonable stab at the gearing. Power in bhp is equal to torque in lb. Producing that much power bitcoin mining calculator x1120 mph isn't too shabby, especially from a 65bhp motor - and unlike an ICE which, unless it has a CVT, will have jumps in its gearing where the power falls back some as rpms drop and may momentarily cut out altogetherit'll maintain at least that much on its bitcoin mining calculator x1120 to its peak.
Which is why bitcoin mining calculator x1120 probably feel fairly thrusty once it does actually get going, even if it lacks a bit bitcoin mining calculator x1120 and at the top end. However, this does mean that the maximum bitcoin mining calculator x1120 CAN'T be maintained anywhere higher than about rpm ie, 16mphand that's if we assume it hits max power at that point, rather than it being the usual gradual slide from one to the other.
That's a pretty narrow peak even by internal combustion standards. I mean, it'll still remain fairly strong for a while, even if max power isn't reached until right on the limiter in this case, representing no more than 26lb. That'd let us put electrics on a more even playing field with each other, because from now on a motor's raw shaft torque will mean little when not processed with a mind towards its top speed, max rpm and weight.
I bitcoin mining calculator x1120, that's already the case anyway, but most everyday cars have roughly the same weight and starting gear, so it's a more fungible measure It'll seem unfamiliar at first, but hey, we got used to euro cycle economy ratings, CO2 emissions and k acceleration stats
