I'm addicted to machinery. Post anything real absurdly complex with lots of bolts, pipes, wires, hoses, etc.Like power plants, refineries, mines, production facilities, what-have you.Let's start with the JET Tokamac
And now a refinery
>>104830I can find some basic specs on this lovely piece of fusion technology, but what kind of power output can it achieve?
>>104840my guess is less than it's input
>>104840I know that, should the bolts holding the two magnetic halves together snap, the top would probably launch several miles into the air.I remember reading the repulsive force could levitate a C5 transport plane
>>104933That sounds like a wonderfully expensive prank that gets people fired.

awsome thread
Spherical reactors are superior
>>104974whatever the consequences (save maybe irreversible disability or death.. to ME not other people XD)it'd be worth it.. it'd definitely make the news..Speaking of that.. some high tension worker had a video camera (why i dunno) at the right moment and managed to catch a rocket fuel plant going up in nevada.. it had a cloud and a visible shockwave which travelled miles and looked like a nuclear test..The really wild thing is.. with that HUGE explosion... nobody was killed or even permanently disabled.. some people won't be hearing too well though.

these look vaguely erotic
>>105471time to get a girlfriend i think
not too high-rez
>>105521> too high-rezno such thing
>>105521I can't tell it that's drawn, rendered, or a photo. .... honestly... I can't.
>>104830A tokamak is a machine producing a toroidal (doughnut-shaped) magnetic field for confining a plasma. It is one of several types of magnetic confinement devices and the leading candidate for producing fusion energy.>>105230US KC-97 Stratotanker's Pratt & Whitney R-4360-59B Wasp Major radial piston engine. It had four of the bastards. It also had two General Electric J-47-GE-23 turbojet engines. I like it.Pic: Boeing KC-97 Stratofreighter. This Stratofreighter was assigned to the Strategic Air Command in 1955 at Westover AFB, Mass. In 1965 it was converted to KC-97L status by the addition of two jet engines and transferred to the Tennessee Air National Guard.
I don't pay you to stand around, pose for pictures, or get dismembered in the loom.
