I found this glitch for replicating fusion cells. Works for NV more than F3 but eh🤷♂️ eventually you will run out of fusion cells to collect or harvest from NPCs. So before you turn against your fave allies in the games to get more cells, simply approach a melee combatant. Drop a pistol or rifle with some charge, and drop 1, yes 1 cell in front of the weapon. If you get the combatant to approach you and walk over the weapon and ammo, they may pick it up to use against you, and their inventory will automatically refresh with more cells in their inventory. Harvest the combatant, open inventory and you will get 30+ cells back. I dont believe this works in F4 and F76 but it will work best on NV. On F3 enemies are more focused on you since it's harder to shoot their arms and make them drop their weapons.
At the time he made this video we had already achieved nuclear fusion, and he acknowledged as much in the video. What we still haven't managed to do, is make it cheaper, room temperature, or sustainable.
@brickmylife7184 That may or may not be what he meant, but absent qualifiers I can only analyze the direct statement, and the direct statement is factually incorrect. However, if he had meant to use the qualifiers that I used, then he'd still be factually incorrect as we still haven't achieved any of those goals either.
Do you mean Jack Kirby? While he is considered the lead inventor, others were named and involved. If Jack Kirby had never worked for Texas Instruments, someone else would have invented ICs, if not in 1959, it would have happened eventually. Technology is like that. You reach a super-saturation point, and the invention happens, often at multiple locations.
More like two atoms that are happy by themselves are surrounded by so much peer pressure they're unable to resist combining to form a Cronenberg of their former selves throwing off energy left and right.
I always saw the fusion cores as high capacity batteries that have gained their charge from a fusion reactor of some kind. As they're called Fusion cores and Micro Fusion Cells. These are terms for batteries. These are not actively performing Fusion. As to why they run down despite powering a building for 2 centuries. Well, it's simple. They weren't powering the building. Think when you disconnect them does the entire building go dark. No the lights temporarily dim meaning there's an outside power source and the cores were most likely meant to be used as emergency generators. And considering running redundant lighting is a low power operation compared to a suit of armour that is often compared to a tank in power consumption in the Expanded lore. That's where you get your answer as to why they run dry quickly. A few side notes just for fun: With a decent bit of luck (and maybe saving before trying) you can pickpocket the fusion core out of a raiders armour. This forces them to exit the armour and become easier to kill, you also get a set of armour with the frame. You can exit you armour when the core is at 1% remaining charge remove the core and manually insert a full charge one and the value of the core doesn't change.
Really all you need is high sneak perk(I have 4) plus first perk of pickpocketing for steal cores. I'm Brotherhood Knight, but i like to steal their cores and armor when they are on the ground, my punishment for them for poorly flying and crashing Verdibirds every time :D P.S when you take the core of Raider or someone else, PA will still be "stolen", so if you exit that PA near you companions, they will dislike that(only Mccready likes that) :D
if you sneak and take it out or shoot it out and make it explode of a power armored npc they end up getting back in it often and continue to do combat in the armor without a core

I actually like the Fusion Core mechanic. It adds some counter-balance to the Power Armor's strengths. Personally, I'd say the cores should last maybe twice as long overall but that's about it. All in all, I do think Fallout 4 has the best implementation of Power Armor in terms of mechanics, if not balance.
Fallout Nv is my favorite, I have beaten it 15 times, Fo4 is sorta meh to me, only beaten 2 times. But I do love the Power Armor in Fo4. Power armor in NV seems goofy now.
@@arandomfromtheinternet105 obviously bethesda wasnt making it realistic. Its also lore breaking, as the t-51 suits are supposed to use different type of power (forgot what its called) and its said in fallout 1 and 2 that power armor batteries last over hundreds of years. bethesda made it like that for game balance and nothing more
Also, 5mm Remington is a rimmed cartridge, and is a rim-fire cartridge. The 5mm ammo in Fallout is center-fire, and is comparable to 7.62x51mm NATO, in shape and size (this is based off the assumption that the .308 cartridge in FO:4 is identical to its real-world counterpart) also, the box of “5mm” ammo is marked as 7.62x51mm NATO, which kinda odd, despite matching up with the real-world m134 minigun
Fusion cores can power a building for two hundred years because they have help from the giant machine you find them in. It can hardly work as a legitimate power source on its own (as compared to when it's inside a fusion generator)
Matt Williams game Crow also needs to realize that we're talking about armor that amplifies strength and defense not to mention has a holographic system and can absorb fall damage like a sponge
Damage is being absorbed only thanks to metal parts around it, it's not a force/energy shield that uses the core to apply it to armor, the weight is only thing you can count, since it will require enough power to move and lift heavy metal parts.
I'll say this Austin.. you've taught me more about fission and fusion in less than 20 minutes compared to the 5 or so years I learned in highschool. Or really just school in general. Really goes to show that presentation is the key factor in teaching. This is how you get people interested in fields of study, especially in the younger crowd.
HOLY SHIT! First off, thank you. I feel accomplished today for being mentioned in a video. Sucks that I really despise editing because now I want to get back in the upload game (my editing software sucks majorly and I am BROKE). Also, thank you for doing the math for us. I tried taking into consideration decay over the years, but kept throwing it aside (possibly subconsciously) to the fact that not every core you find is in use. So like an idiot I threw out idle decay. But more importantly, you solved MY issue (because the comments on the last video got way out of hand, down to it not even being about fusion cores, but if synths could really blend in with human society. I stopped following along after a while, especially with some of the silly things people were saying like how fusion generators just power light bulbs. I'm starting to get long winded.) BUT REALLY, THANK YOU! This also means that whenever we get another fallout game, we can call total bullshit on there being power armor and gatling lasers unless they give a way to recharge them, which I would suspect would only be possible by organizations like the BoS, Institute (which is most likely lore blown up), and the Enclave (also blown up). And then we can revisit this issue (in 8 years with our luck) in Fallout 5. Until next time, later! -Crow
I know I am really late at replying but ever since Fallout 76 came out, Bethesda added in the ability to recharge Fusion Cores in that one. But Fallout 76 takes place 185 Years before Fallout 4 happens so that Fusion Recharger Tech might just be Lost Technology at this point.
You don’t need that much power to open the doorway to the Void. All you need is a precisely-machined slug of this really heavy ferromagnetic intermetallic Element called “element 141.” It forms the seed, and if you modulate it correctly in amplitude, frequency and phases - it *will* open the door. Trouble is, if you don’t have the right kind of originating cavity - you probably *wont* like where it sends you!
Dear Austin, Hi! It's me! Seth! "LMS locomotive train engine"?! What the hell, Austin?! The LMS was an English railway company (standing for "London, Midland and Scottish railway") that used engines built exclusively for them (a common practice for companies at the time). So the engines built for them were given names and designations - most commonly beginning with the term "class" - to keep track of them. One example is the class 3F. It was called a 3F because that was also its strength rating (other railway companies were much more imaginative with their designations). F represented Freight. There were also P for Passenger and MT for Mixed Traffic, which meant it could pull either freight or passengers effectively. The 3 in the designation is its power in its respective category. The highest strength rating in the F category is 9F, so a 3F is a relatively low power rating. So, since each class usually belonged to only one company, they would be referred to like "LMS class 3F". (Though modern enthusiast usually omit saying the word class when talking about locomotives unless they're diesel locomotives, but that's a topic for another day) And now for the picture you used! The engine in the picture does NOT belong to the LMS. As you can see written on the side, it belongs to the LNER (London and North-Eastern Railway). Dude! Come on! You're smarter than all of this! I know you are! This engine started its life as a NER (North-Eastern Railway, which was the basis for the amalgamation of companies that formed the LNER) class E. When the LNER formed, these locomotives (which were quite old by that time. almost 40 years old, in fact) were renamed J71. AND there's the problem of power! Going off of the J71 in the picture, since no LMS locomotive is specified, your information is WAY off. A J71 at its most common travel speed of about 30 miles per hour (13.4112 m/s), pulling the heaviest train it could while maintaining that speed, would only be producing 724.2048 kW, or 0.7242048 mW. And through long and difficult calculations, I determined that 0.7242048 is less than 2.06. Now, the most powerful LMS locomotive ever produced was the class 8F which could produce 3225.3936 kW or 3.2253936 mW. But there are engines that surpass the English strength rating system entirely. The Virginian Railway class AE is the strongest steam engine ever built (to my knowledge) with a fucking ridiculous 175,000 lbf of tractive effort. For reference, the J71 has only 12,130 lbf of tractive effort. You'd need 15 J71s to match one AE. But what does that mean to us? At a slightly generous operating speed of 30 mph under maximum load, the AE would be producing 10433.9136 kW or 10.4339136 mW of energy! And then to get nitpicky; "locomotive train engine" is a horribly redundant statement. "Locomotive is correct". "Engine" is also correct. "Train Engine", while being a very strange way of putting it, CAN also be considered correct. But smashing all of those together is like saying; "This is my new automobile driving car." or "I'm going to use the ATM money machine. I recommend using "Locomotive" from now on. That way; people will always know what you're talking about. Whew... I think I started turning into you while writing this.. Better be careful! I might be doing your job soon! Just kidding! (not kidding) Sincerely, Seth

I always viewed them as a car battery, needed to start up the actual thing generating power, and maintaining operation if the actual energy producing component is damaged. The explosions that occur when you shoot a fusion core off a power armor user or a robot may be due to the same reason modern electrical cars combust in flames when the batteries get damaged in a crash.
no... all old world cores in the game stop working 62 days after fallout 4 starts(if lore is consistent), it could have blown up during those 105 years the cells were just laying around...
+ChrisRidge it's possible but it will be hard to tell it apart from a city destroyed by nukes, the big difference is if it's been less than 50 years since it went off and if it's radioactive since most of the detectable rads dissipate in a 50 year span..
I know this is 4 years old but I wanna say, I loved the kelvin joke, and appreciate literally any time anyone refers to kelvin. The sped up math and science was absolutely amazing! I know it’s kinda pompous to say but watching this makes me feel pretty smart. Also superiorly nerdy
+Alex Gluch (ShadowRanger) I think I'll go with thanking Chemistry... it'll make the feeling of baby-sitting class mates and explaining them concepts out teacher failed to explain for a while year worth it.
it is, in the very core of the star, there is so much gravity pushing the hydrogen together that it fuses it into helium, it doesn't require energy to do this as gravity is just naturally doing it, the energy then pushes against gravity keeping the star from collapsing
0K means absence of heat, therefore absence of energy. Light carries heat, and when light bumps into something it leaves some heat behind. For you to be able to see something, light has to touch it. For something to be 0K, it must have no energy. Thus, we can never see a 0K object because if light touched it it wouldn't be 0K and if light didn't touch it we couldn't see it.
Radaway is simple, and if played fallout 1 or 2 you'd know that. RadAway is an intravenous chemical solution that bonds with radiation particles and passes them through the body's system. It takes some time to work, and is also a potent diuretic. You could basically just call it a IV of oh I don't know Graphene oxide or something, maybe even just sunflowers.
I have an answer for their longevity. The fusion cores are not active all the time Instead, they have an electrochemical battery to kick-start the reaction. They could even be designed to restart the reaction as needed to keep the battery conditioned. This would make far more sense, as back-of-the-hand math suggests that storing a lot of idling fusion cores would quickly become infeasible due to the accumulation of waste heat. Alternatively, they could use a primary battery to start the reaction. That would mean that each fusion core would be limited to a fixed number of duty cycles, and also explain why refueling them is extremely difficult.

Hello, I noticed a small mistake at around 10:52. In gigawatts the g in gW should actully be an uppercase G, according to the SI standardization. A good rule for this is that everything in y where in x*10^y where y > 1 the prefix should be uppercase, for instance kilo K, mega M, giga G, tera T, peta P. Wich means that when y < 1 the prefix should be in lowercase, for instance milli m, pico p, atto a. Hope i helped, great video! You have done some really good math here!!👍👍
>using 5mm Remington as the mingun cartridge NO! BAD! You NEVER want to use a rimmed cartridge in a self loading firearm, it makes your weapon very very susceptible to rim lock, makes extraction a chore and is just generally bad design. It's also RIMFIRE! Rimfire is simply not reliable enough for military use, especially not in high volume use like a minigun. The 5mm round in Fallout is most likely a specially packaged version of 5.56mm NATO. Possibly the telescoped ammo used by the LSAT, though that doesn't explain why it was used in Fallout 1 when the LSAT wasn't conceived of until 2004. The energy comparison is totally flawed due to this, IMO.
There's already a 5.56mm round in FO4 and it's not used in the minigun. Not to mention, the world of Fallout could've just used a centre fire design for the 5mm instead.
Look up the M61 Vulcan or the Phalanx CIWS, both are Gatling guns (same thing as a minigun) and they use much larger rounds. The Vulcan fires at 6,000 rpm and the CIWS 4,500 rpm.
Well, the bombs didn't go flying in Fallout's world until 2077. The style is just a sort of sustained retro-futurism that largely reflects the 1950s aesthetic. The world is one where the transistor was a latecomer and things were done with tubes for a longer period of time. Fallout itself starts in 2161.
Hes 'murican. Forgive him as they still use imperial. I know the intellectuals probably would use metric because it's simpler however commonly/casually he'd use imperial.
Good luck. ^_^ also a tip I learnt from my tests is don't study, the answers you learn rarely show up, for example I got a question about a car and we did not do anything about that and I'm know nothing about cars. There's no need to study ^_^ anyway good luck!
Henry Wray and obviously he got his data for the energy of a gatling laser shot by comparing it with the Minigun. Two different kinds of damage. Two different kinds of damage resistance
if anything. the best thing to do was to select an enemy type that had the same energy resistance as the amount of physical damage resistance. then it would be as accurate as you'd get it.
I suppose that's a fair judgement when looking at many of the other things in Fallout lore that when looked at from a practical level makes very little sense but from a purely dramatic sense are very 50s-60s Sci-Fi like for instance the Fatman if the Chinese discovered a Fatman supply depot near the front lines at Anchorage it would be as simple as one artillery or one airstrike and you've just created a huge smoldering gaping whole in the American line. Or the Laser rifle which in and of itself would provide first aid to wounds by cauterizing and disinfecting the wound if used in real life. Or lastly Liberty Prime, a single project taking years and millions or possibly billions of dollars to build a single robot that at maximum (provided his laser could actually reach the horizon and on the unlikely condition that all of the ground around him was perfect flat and followed the curvature of the earth) could create an 80km wide gap in the enemy lines all the while remaining an incredibly large and relatively slow moving target instantly drawing an enormous amount of fire on himself and as seen in Fallout 3 Broken Steel he can be taken down by a single large caliber artillery strike he is simply just not worth the effort.
When a fusion power plant (or core in this case) fails, the reaction just stop No harmful materials, huge explosions or anything I need to say this, because when (or "if", because maybe we never achieve fusion) we start building reactors, people that don't know how fusion works will freak out.
You can find fusion cores in different locations. Such as a chest, a shop, a corps or a big machine that makes loud noises. I believe that this machinery keeps the fusion in the core alive. I think that people in the fallout verse have found these and collected the cores.
One issue I have with the minigun's caliber is in the games it is supposed to be chambered in 5mm caseless. Yet in the games they clearly eject shell casings. I don't believe we have an actual 5mm caseless round in existence. The 5mm Remington was also designed as a varmit and target round, certainly not a combat cartridge. 4.7 caseless is the closet I think that you can get to what the minigun is supposed to fire. But I'm not going to ask you to redo the math on this great video. I'll post a link to the 4.7mm caseless if you're interested.
It's in the fucking future, mate. Well, in the past in the future. Or something. Anyways, they have fusion cores and power armour and laser weapons and so on, so I think it's reasonable to assume that some hipster would make 5mm caseless at some point. As for the shell casings being ejected, most likely either a design choice or an animator not reading too much into things.
Different timeline. 4.7x33 caseless doesn't exist. I'm not sure why the miniguns are in some weird 5mm cartridge. A 5.56 mini gun would make more sense seeing as that cartridge exists in fallout and, you know, works.
sharpshooter740 >minivans are in some weird 5mm cartridge I feel like I've heard of 5mm before. On what are you basing your assertion that 4.7 caseless doesn't exist?
i come on this youtube learning about enclave, brotherhood of steel, and NCR facts also their conspiracy starts opening my table of elements again because i'm sucks at sains and i'm focusing on social study. everybody know s what's gonna happen. RIP me
When it comes to the radium rifles I imagine, considering the electronic components haphazardly glued onto it like they mean anything (hint Bethesda, gluing capacitors onto something does not make it high-tech), it's presumably supposed to heavily irradiate the bullet, which them supposedly lodges itself into the enemy and irradiates them from the inside. It's pretty hamfisted and I highly doubt it would work in the slightest.
The only comparison I can think of is the depleted uranium rounds used in by real world military. The depleted uranium tip makes it easier for a round to cut thru armor. This tip was used for multiple size rounds and could turn a tank into an instant death trap for years to come from contamination. Note that after its first major use in Iraq, there was a huge debate on if these rounds violated serval national laws including the Geneva Convention. The contamination still effects Iraq today after it seeped into the dirt and water. Vehicles lined with contaminant just a couple feet from children playing. Considering how FO4 handles radiation poisoning, no the weapons are not accurate, but they are probably based on depleted uranium tipped rounds.
Radium was the original material used for glow in the dark watches when they were first introduced in the military. It's actually a sad story. They had women hired to paint the watch faces, and most of them died of horrible cancers. In short it's just something that can be painted onto a round to deal said damage. It's not too far fetched but their design for the gun is a little flamboyant.
Can you imagine how smart the Think Tank could have been if Mobius didn't change their programming and put them in a loop? They were the top scientists who produced Fusion and the Sierra Madre vending machines.
Fun fact! Before fallout 4, power armor was running off a micro fusion pack, not a core. That pack could have ended the war and prevented everything if it was further developed.
To be fair the script does say "1.21 jigowatts". "The 'jigowatt' is really the gigawatt that was misspelt by the producers Bob Gale nd Robert Zemeckis while filming Back to the Future, and became the standard spelling for the movie. It could then be interpreted in-universe that Doc pronounced gigawatt as jigowatt."
This is another reason why the institute truly is the best thing for the commonwealth, even though there di*ks, they could commandeer the mass fusion building and recommence the production of fusion cores and be the greatest power in the commonwealth (maybe even America) surpassing the brotherhood and starting a new order and eventually share their technology with the commonwealth. It'd be the overall best ending.
The east coast brotherhood in 4 is actually way more of a group of technology abusers, considering their use of the Prydwin and vertibirds exclusive to them for wartime activities
***** fair but I don't think one man could change the base beliefs of an entire community in only one generation. Oh wait this is a Bethesda fallout game? Well then never mind all it will take is one sentence and some save scumming.
+Ben Solo They abuse it far less than the Brotherhood. Get your head out of Fallout 3, this is the true Brotherhood who care only for themselves. The Institute at least *tried* to help the Commonwealth. That just blew up in their face because wastelanders. So they are underground and running experiments and developing better tech so that, one day, they can try again to help the world above.
i have no problem with fusion cores, what i do have a problem is that they ignore a part of their lore. more specifically this part of lora on the t51b: "The armor is fitted with a back-mounted TX-28 MicroFusion Pack which generates an output power of 60,000 Watts, The armor usually carries enough fuel to last for one thousand years" you see 10 000 years in contrast of 30min that fusion cores provide
Austin, we need your maths again! What proportion of a fusion core would we need for it to contain 1.21 gW of potential energy as opposed to the normal 1.28gW (as you calculated)?
Too bad there aren't any Deloreans in the Fallout universe, but we do have Flux Sensors and Reflex Capacitors so if we duct taped those together added a fusion core and attached it to Dogmeat's armor... hmmm lemme get my abacus.
I would think that the reason the fusion core is at 100 percent in buildings is the constant supply of hydrogen. So you would have to account for the constant fusion for 210 years.
So, all this time I've only knew Austin from his videos on the game theorists channel, which are actually edited differently. So all of this time you have been doing 2 videos by the price of one, that I respect.

On F3 enemies are more focused on you since it's harder to shoot their arms and make them drop their weapons.

@@arstrob2y that was my first impression too.
Settle down there, Father Elijah.
I actually like the Fusion Core mechanic. It adds some counter-balance to the Power Armor's strengths. Personally, I'd say the cores should last maybe twice as long overall but that's about it. All in all, I do think Fallout 4 has the best implementation of Power Armor in terms of mechanics, if not balance.
Yeah seriously it lasts 200 years In a generator but half an hour in power armor
SuperFriendBFG there is a perk that allows that
@@ceoofchonk I have that perk and like 200 hundred fusion cores
Fallout Nv is my favorite, I have beaten it 15 times, Fo4 is sorta meh to me, only beaten 2 times. But I do love the Power Armor in Fo4. Power armor in NV seems goofy now.
@@arandomfromtheinternet105 obviously bethesda wasnt making it realistic. Its also lore breaking, as the t-51 suits are supposed to use different type of power (forgot what its called) and its said in fallout 1 and 2 that power armor batteries last over hundreds of years. bethesda made it like that for game balance and nothing more
Also, 5mm Remington is a rimmed cartridge, and is a rim-fire cartridge. The 5mm ammo in Fallout is center-fire, and is comparable to 7.62x51mm NATO, in shape and size (this is based off the assumption that the .308 cartridge in FO:4 is identical to its real-world counterpart) also, the box of “5mm” ammo is marked as 7.62x51mm NATO, which kinda odd, despite matching up with the real-world m134 minigun

Your pic is gr8 for that sentence.
Solid life advice.
RWBY plz take notice
Fusion cores can power a building for two hundred years because they have help from the giant machine you find them in. It can hardly work as a legitimate power source on its own (as compared to when it's inside a fusion generator)
Matt Williams I pretty much said the same thing in my comment only it was less detailed
Matt Williams game Crow also needs to realize that we're talking about armor that amplifies strength and defense not to mention has a holographic system and can absorb fall damage like a sponge
also, when you snag a core from a generator, the light flickers briefly and then goes back on again. the core doesn't seem to be powering much at all.
Damage is being absorbed only thanks to metal parts around it, it's not a force/energy shield that uses the core to apply it to armor, the weight is only thing you can count, since it will require enough power to move and lift heavy metal parts.
I always thought that Fusion Cores acted as an ignition source to a bigger fusion reactor.
I'll say this Austin.. you've taught me more about fission and fusion in less than 20 minutes compared to the 5 or so years I learned in highschool. Or really just school in general. Really goes to show that presentation is the key factor in teaching. This is how you get people interested in fields of study, especially in the younger crowd.

*About to take a big sip of water*
"Oh no...no no no..."
HOLY SHIT! First off, thank you. I feel accomplished today for being mentioned in a video. Sucks that I really despise editing because now I want to get back in the upload game (my editing software sucks majorly and I am BROKE). Also, thank you for doing the math for us. I tried taking into consideration decay over the years, but kept throwing it aside (possibly subconsciously) to the fact that not every core you find is in use. So like an idiot I threw out idle decay. But more importantly, you solved MY issue (because the comments on the last video got way out of hand, down to it not even being about fusion cores, but if synths could really blend in with human society. I stopped following along after a while, especially with some of the silly things people were saying like how fusion generators just power light bulbs. I'm starting to get long winded.)
BUT REALLY, THANK YOU! This also means that whenever we get another fallout game, we can call total bullshit on there being power armor and gatling lasers unless they give a way to recharge them, which I would suspect would only be possible by organizations like the BoS, Institute (which is most likely lore blown up), and the Enclave (also blown up). And then we can revisit this issue (in 8 years with our luck) in Fallout 5.
Until next time, later! -Crow
+ShoddyCast Austin, again. Thank you for settling it all at last.
pirate it
My prediction for Fallout 5: The aliens finally get sick of our shit and wipe out all of humanity. Fusion core problem solved.
humans are the ultimate power though so when they try to wipe us out they just end up driving us to THEIR home planet instead
I know I am really late at replying but ever since Fallout 76 came out, Bethesda added in the ability to recharge Fusion Cores in that one. But Fallout 76 takes place 185 Years before Fallout 4 happens so that Fusion Recharger Tech might just be Lost Technology at this point.

You don’t need that much power to open the doorway to the Void.

Dear Austin,
Hi! It's me! Seth!
"LMS locomotive train engine"?! What the hell, Austin?!
The LMS was an English railway company (standing for "London, Midland and Scottish railway") that used engines built exclusively for them (a common practice for companies at the time). So the engines built for them were given names and designations - most commonly beginning with the term "class" - to keep track of them. One example is the class 3F. It was called a 3F because that was also its strength rating (other railway companies were much more imaginative with their designations). F represented Freight. There were also P for Passenger and MT for Mixed Traffic, which meant it could pull either freight or passengers effectively. The 3 in the designation is its power in its respective category. The highest strength rating in the F category is 9F, so a 3F is a relatively low power rating. So, since each class usually belonged to only one company, they would be referred to like "LMS class 3F". (Though modern enthusiast usually omit saying the word class when talking about locomotives unless they're diesel locomotives, but that's a topic for another day)
And now for the picture you used!
The engine in the picture does NOT belong to the LMS. As you can see written on the side, it belongs to the LNER (London and North-Eastern Railway).
Dude! Come on! You're smarter than all of this! I know you are!
This engine started its life as a NER (North-Eastern Railway, which was the basis for the amalgamation of companies that formed the LNER) class E. When the LNER formed, these locomotives (which were quite old by that time. almost 40 years old, in fact) were renamed J71.
AND there's the problem of power!
Going off of the J71 in the picture, since no LMS locomotive is specified, your information is WAY off. A J71 at its most common travel speed of about 30 miles per hour (13.4112 m/s), pulling the heaviest train it could while maintaining that speed, would only be producing 724.2048 kW, or 0.7242048 mW. And through long and difficult calculations, I determined that 0.7242048 is less than 2.06. Now, the most powerful LMS locomotive ever produced was the class 8F which could produce 3225.3936 kW or 3.2253936 mW. But there are engines that surpass the English strength rating system entirely. The Virginian Railway class AE is the strongest steam engine ever built (to my knowledge) with a fucking ridiculous 175,000 lbf of tractive effort. For reference, the J71 has only 12,130 lbf of tractive effort. You'd need 15 J71s to match one AE. But what does that mean to us? At a slightly generous operating speed of 30 mph under maximum load, the AE would be producing 10433.9136 kW or 10.4339136 mW of energy!
And then to get nitpicky; "locomotive train engine" is a horribly redundant statement. "Locomotive is correct". "Engine" is also correct. "Train Engine", while being a very strange way of putting it, CAN also be considered correct. But smashing all of those together is like saying; "This is my new automobile driving car." or "I'm going to use the ATM money machine. I recommend using "Locomotive" from now on. That way; people will always know what you're talking about.
Whew... I think I started turning into you while writing this..
Better be careful! I might be doing your job soon! Just kidding! (not kidding)
Sincerely,
Seth

I always viewed them as a car battery, needed to start up the actual thing generating power, and maintaining operation if the actual energy producing component is damaged. The explosions that occur when you shoot a fusion core off a power armor user or a robot may be due to the same reason modern electrical cars combust in flames when the batteries get damaged in a crash.

So basically 62 days after Fallout 4 starts the entire wasteland would explode...again.
No, the cores would only explode if their regulators were damaged.
no... all old world cores in the game stop working 62 days after fallout 4 starts(if lore is consistent), it could have blown up during those 105 years the cells were just laying around...
in other words we should be able to find some extra blown up cities somewhere.
+ChrisRidge it's possible but it will be hard to tell it apart from a city destroyed by nukes, the big difference is if it's been less than 50 years since it went off and if it's radioactive since most of the detectable rads dissipate in a 50 year span..

Black Dragon thats a fission reactor. Not a fusion reactor.
He never mentioned fusion, he only said a Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier Lasts 3 Years, Nuclear Power meaning it is Fission.

I’m fairly certain it’s about 15-19 years, not 3.
the potential to do so and the amount of nuclear fuel they actually carry during normal operations might be different.

@@Antidon1 you have lot to learn.
I always taught the sun itself is a fusion reactor with all the plasma inside it
It is.
it is, in the very core of the star, there is so much gravity pushing the hydrogen together that it fuses it into helium, it doesn't require energy to do this as gravity is just naturally doing it, the energy then pushes against gravity keeping the star from collapsing

I got your Kelvin joke.
0 kelvin is the absolute zero, its pretty much the best way to observer cold temperatures.
We also could never see an object that is 0k, it could not reflect light as that would mean it is receiving energy.
Same
Evil Paragon 2 Cant Something Stay At 0k And Obsorb Energy?
0K means absence of heat, therefore absence of energy.
Light carries heat, and when light bumps into something it leaves some heat behind.
For you to be able to see something, light has to touch it. For something to be 0K, it must have no energy.
Thus, we can never see a 0K object because if light touched it it wouldn't be 0K and if light didn't touch it we couldn't see it.
you failed to mention the muon fusion of the actual 1950's, still an amazing video
Okay, you have to make the science behind Stimpak. And RadAway.
I would so watch that, something about chemicals that stimulate cell growth being the way they work and finding a real world analogue.
Radaway too!
I always assume that needles that heal me in video games are just pain relievers and the actual healing is done later off screen.
Radaway is simple, and if played fallout 1 or 2 you'd know that.
RadAway is an intravenous chemical solution that bonds with radiation particles and passes them through the body's system. It takes some time to work, and is also a potent diuretic.
You could basically just call it a IV of oh I don't know Graphene oxide or something, maybe even just sunflowers.
Medicine in Fallout? :D
10:42 1.26 gigawatts..... that's so close to 1.21 gigawatts.......
i was thinking the same thing...
And doc Brown actualy installed a reactor called mr fusion in the second movie.
828pk yeah, well that fused trash.....
(wasn't it 2.21 ?)
trust me, as a back to the future fan you can trust me in saying that it is 1.21 gigawatts
I have an answer for their longevity.
The fusion cores are not active all the time Instead, they have an electrochemical battery to kick-start the reaction. They could even be designed to restart the reaction as needed to keep the battery conditioned.
This would make far more sense, as back-of-the-hand math suggests that storing a lot of idling fusion cores would quickly become infeasible due to the accumulation of waste heat.
Alternatively, they could use a primary battery to start the reaction. That would mean that each fusion core would be limited to a fixed number of duty cycles, and also explain why refueling them is extremely difficult.
Amazing man, love the tasteful swearing and enthusiasm. Made the video better, everything else was also amazing. Keep it up bro
As far as all the videos that I seen since RUclips came out.you sir take the cake, any video you do you take the time to do it right and do the research figure out the ins and outs and then explained it in such a way that anyone can follow, my hats off to you good job keep up the good work!

Hello, I noticed a small mistake at around 10:52. In gigawatts the g in gW should actully be an uppercase G, according to the SI standardization. A good rule for this is that everything in y where in x*10^y where y > 1 the prefix should be uppercase, for instance kilo K, mega M, giga G, tera T, peta P. Wich means that when y < 1 the prefix should be in lowercase, for instance milli m, pico p, atto a. Hope i helped, great video! You have done some really good math here!!👍👍
kilo is an exception
it's kg, kJ, km etc.
Because uppercase K is Kelvin ?
>using 5mm Remington as the mingun cartridge
NO! BAD!
You NEVER want to use a rimmed cartridge in a self loading firearm, it makes your weapon very very susceptible to rim lock, makes extraction a chore and is just generally bad design. It's also RIMFIRE! Rimfire is simply not reliable enough for military use, especially not in high volume use like a minigun. The 5mm round in Fallout is most likely a specially packaged version of 5.56mm NATO. Possibly the telescoped ammo used by the LSAT, though that doesn't explain why it was used in Fallout 1 when the LSAT wasn't conceived of until 2004. The energy comparison is totally flawed due to this, IMO.
Rynosaur94 There are a lot of Automatic weapons that use .22lr. I dont know what Bethesda meant but it clearly wasnt 5.56
There's already a 5.56mm round in FO4 and it's not used in the minigun. Not to mention, the world of Fallout could've just used a centre fire design for the 5mm instead.
Look up the M61 Vulcan or the Phalanx CIWS, both are Gatling guns (same thing as a minigun) and they use much larger rounds. The Vulcan fires at 6,000 rpm and the CIWS 4,500 rpm.
Well, the bombs didn't go flying in Fallout's world until 2077. The style is just a sort of sustained retro-futurism that largely reflects the 1950s aesthetic. The world is one where the transistor was a latecomer and things were done with tubes for a longer period of time.
Fallout itself starts in 2161.

Did you take physical and energy damage into account when finding the energy of the gattling laser?
yes. because Lasers have physical damage ;l.
+Henry Wray sorry, I meant to write "physical and energy damage resistance."
Henry Wray and obviously he got his data for the energy of a gatling laser shot by comparing it with the Minigun. Two different kinds of damage. Two different kinds of damage resistance
i didn't think of that, thanks for clarification
if anything. the best thing to do was to select an enemy type that had the same energy resistance as the amount of physical damage resistance. then it would be as accurate as you'd get it.
This is simply the best Fallout 4 related video I've ever seen. Hats off to you, Shoddy.
You said Mega watts MW but put milliwatts mW. And GW is gigawatts....
Simple Answer:
Power armor and the fusion core weapons are insanely inefficient
I suppose that's a fair judgement when looking at many of the other things in Fallout lore that when looked at from a practical level makes very little sense but from a purely dramatic sense are very 50s-60s Sci-Fi like for instance the Fatman if the Chinese discovered a Fatman supply depot near the front lines at Anchorage it would be as simple as one artillery or one airstrike and you've just created a huge smoldering gaping whole in the American line. Or the Laser rifle which in and of itself would provide first aid to wounds by cauterizing and disinfecting the wound if used in real life. Or lastly Liberty Prime, a single project taking years and millions or possibly billions of dollars to build a single robot that at maximum (provided his laser could actually reach the horizon and on the unlikely condition that all of the ground around him was perfect flat and followed the curvature of the earth) could create an 80km wide gap in the enemy lines all the while remaining an incredibly large and relatively slow moving target instantly drawing an enormous amount of fire on himself and as seen in Fallout 3 Broken Steel he can be taken down by a single large caliber artillery strike he is simply just not worth the effort.
Make sense
When a fusion power plant (or core in this case) fails, the reaction just stop
No harmful materials, huge explosions or anything
I need to say this, because when (or "if", because maybe we never achieve fusion) we start building reactors, people that don't know how fusion works will freak out.

You can find fusion cores in different locations. Such as a chest, a shop, a corps or a big machine that makes loud noises. I believe that this machinery keeps the fusion in the core alive. I think that people in the fallout verse have found these and collected the cores.

+Dusk Rotani I would do that but there is 1 problem... i have never played or owned any dark souls game.
+WolfArtGaming you should boot that up if you do
I think we can all agree that if you're still playing this game after 62 days, you're doing it wrong.
One issue I have with the minigun's caliber is in the games it is supposed to be chambered in 5mm caseless. Yet in the games they clearly eject shell casings. I don't believe we have an actual 5mm caseless round in existence. The 5mm Remington was also designed as a varmit and target round, certainly not a combat cartridge. 4.7 caseless is the closet I think that you can get to what the minigun is supposed to fire. But I'm not going to ask you to redo the math on this great video. I'll post a link to the 4.7mm caseless if you're interested.
Okay the link didn't work. But google 4.73x33mm caseless and you'll find a wealth of information on it.
It's in the fucking future, mate. Well, in the past in the future. Or something. Anyways, they have fusion cores and power armour and laser weapons and so on, so I think it's reasonable to assume that some hipster would make 5mm caseless at some point. As for the shell casings being ejected, most likely either a design choice or an animator not reading too much into things.
Different timeline. 4.7x33 caseless doesn't exist. I'm not sure why the miniguns are in some weird 5mm cartridge. A 5.56 mini gun would make more sense seeing as that cartridge exists in fallout and, you know, works.
sharpshooter740 >minivans are in some weird 5mm cartridge
I feel like I've heard of 5mm before. On what are you basing your assertion that 4.7 caseless doesn't exist?
nicraptor11 Where in the Fallout universe have we ever seen 4.7 caseless? Where have we ever seen caseless ammunition in the fallout universe period?
i come on this youtube learning about enclave, brotherhood of steel, and NCR facts also their conspiracy
starts opening my table of elements again because i'm sucks at sains and i'm focusing on social study. everybody know s what's gonna happen. RIP me
and two things i get from this video is
1. machine guns and laser guns are awesome
2. pew pew pew... murica
“Do not mix cocaine with engineering”
Yes
How do fallout 4's gamma guns and far harbor's radium rifles work???
When it comes to the radium rifles I imagine, considering the electronic components haphazardly glued onto it like they mean anything (hint Bethesda, gluing capacitors onto something does not make it high-tech), it's presumably supposed to heavily irradiate the bullet, which them supposedly lodges itself into the enemy and irradiates them from the inside.
It's pretty hamfisted and I highly doubt it would work in the slightest.
+Corto Maltese maybe shoddy cast will find a way to make it work and explain it

I hope he will.
The only comparison I can think of is the depleted uranium rounds used in by real world military. The depleted uranium tip makes it easier for a round to cut thru armor. This tip was used for multiple size rounds and could turn a tank into an instant death trap for years to come from contamination. Note that after its first major use in Iraq, there was a huge debate on if these rounds violated serval national laws including the Geneva Convention. The contamination still effects Iraq today after it seeped into the dirt and water. Vehicles lined with contaminant just a couple feet from children playing. Considering how FO4 handles radiation poisoning, no the weapons are not accurate, but they are probably based on depleted uranium tipped rounds.
Radium was the original material used for glow in the dark watches when they were first introduced in the military. It's actually a sad story. They had women hired to paint the watch faces, and most of them died of horrible cancers.
In short it's just something that can be painted onto a round to deal said damage. It's not too far fetched but their design for the gun is a little flamboyant.
That was a fascinating nerdout, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
"Do not mix cocaine and engineering" My friend, you just got a sub
Can you imagine how smart the Think Tank could have been if Mobius didn't change their programming and put them in a loop? They were the top scientists who produced Fusion and the Sierra Madre vending machines.
Fun fact! Before fallout 4, power armor was running off a micro fusion pack, not a core. That pack could have ended the war and prevented everything if it was further developed.

Austin: Takes a deep breath
Eminem: Why do I hear boss music?
wait you said 1.28 giga watts AND NO REFERENCE TO BACK TO THE FUTURE? ( i know its 1.21 gW but COME ON its close)
IKR even just an offhand comment like "that's more energy than what it takes to send a Delorean back in time." Would've been nice.
Oh what wasted potential for a joke
To be fair the script does say "1.21 jigowatts". "The 'jigowatt' is really the gigawatt that was misspelt by the producers Bob Gale nd Robert Zemeckis while filming Back to the Future, and became the standard spelling for the movie. It could then be interpreted in-universe that Doc pronounced gigawatt as jigowatt."
I wasn't prepared for this much science
*at Bethesda HQ* *See's a video from this guy* O GOD NO STOP DOING THIS TO USE
us*
This is another reason why the institute truly is the best thing for the commonwealth, even though there di*ks, they could commandeer the mass fusion building and recommence the production of fusion cores and be the greatest power in the commonwealth (maybe even America) surpassing the brotherhood and starting a new order and eventually share their technology with the commonwealth. It'd be the overall best ending.
The "Institute" is a joke ,They Abuse technology ,just Look around the wasteland ,Humans have gone too far ,join the brotherhood of steel .
:)
The east coast brotherhood in 4 is actually way more of a group of technology abusers, considering their use of the Prydwin and vertibirds exclusive to them for wartime activities
Yeah but they don't care about the wastelanders. They think it would be better for the world if they were the only ones left alive.
***** fair but I don't think one man could change the base beliefs of an entire community in only one generation. Oh wait this is a Bethesda fallout game? Well then never mind all it will take is one sentence and some save scumming.
+Ben Solo
They abuse it far less than the Brotherhood. Get your head out of Fallout 3, this is the true Brotherhood who care only for themselves. The Institute at least *tried* to help the Commonwealth. That just blew up in their face because wastelanders. So they are underground and running experiments and developing better tech so that, one day, they can try again to help the world above.
i have no problem with fusion cores, what i do have a problem is that they ignore a part of their lore. more specifically this part of lora on the t51b: "The armor is fitted with a back-mounted TX-28 MicroFusion Pack which generates an output power of 60,000 Watts, The armor usually carries enough fuel to last for one thousand years"
you see 10 000 years in contrast of 30min that fusion cores provide
1 thousand*
agree
Same goes for X-01 Powerarmor.
Agreed, also didn't the first version of T-45 power armor use Small Energy Cells -- but they burned out too fast so they changed it in later models?
well... they nerf Fusion Cores for gameplay balance reasons...
You really make me smile; I appreciate your drive, as well as your work!
Could you discuss the possibilities of ghouls in a nuclear fallout? That would be really cool!

worth a read
You will not turn into a ghoul, you will turn into a corpse...
Vsauce3 made a small mension about it in thier video about nuculear survivle
There's a video about that, super mutants and even about rad roachs
+Brandon Nece SuperScienced I believe was the name of the one who made the video
So if a fusion core contains 1.28 gW of energy, does that mean we could travel back in time?
Yes. Yes it does. It's time to stop the war before it begins!!!
But a bolt of lightning only produces 1.21 GW... ugh time travel's hard!
what is we took "x"% of whatever the capacity of the fusion core is, so that we had 1.21gW?
Austin, we need your maths again! What proportion of a fusion core would we need for it to contain 1.21 gW of potential energy as opposed to the normal 1.28gW (as you calculated)?
Too bad there aren't any Deloreans in the Fallout universe, but we do have Flux Sensors and Reflex Capacitors so if we duct taped those together added a fusion core and attached it to Dogmeat's armor... hmmm lemme get my abacus.
I would think that the reason the fusion core is at 100 percent in buildings is the constant supply of hydrogen. So you would have to account for the constant fusion for 210 years.
So, all this time I've only knew Austin from his videos on the game theorists channel, which are actually edited differently. So all of this time you have been doing 2 videos by the price of one, that I respect.
