  • Опубликовано: 2 мар 2019
  • Made a turbine powered blower, mainly to de-ice aircraft wings from frost, but it can be powered up significantly to blow leaves, snow, melt and dry ice on sidewalks, or blow a pack of rabid raccoons out of the yard.
    Its computer controlled, auto start and creates up to 52 pounds of thrust at full power. Ear plugs required.

      I get 3 days off every week but they're Wednesday Thursday and Friday, and when I get home I have like barely an hour and 15 minutes for myself because it's late as fuck and I have to be awake by 5:30. Shit gets super old. For me the worst part is the mental game of having Friday night be my "get ready for work night" while most people are going "fuck yeah time to relax" and going out with friends or staying up late.
      But the pay is good so I deal with it, for now at least. Looking for a different job until I can get back into the Army because this routine is making me pretty bitter.

      Not really, jet exhaust cool off extremely quickly due to the quick expansion of gas, and air is an very poor conductor of heat. This is why contrails form behind planes at high altitudes, the exhaust from combustion is water and CO2, and the water in the exhaust freeze to ice within a couple of feet of the jet engine.
      Water cannon is definitely the better crowd control. Reasonably safe and humane, while still effective at breaking up crowds.

Designing planes was never simple, it took many years and knowledge in fluid mechanics, and it still requires it’s pilots to have an extreme knowledge of the sky in order not to die because the wind was not blowing in the right direction or because they didn’t realize they were upside down when flying in a cloud.
