SQUIRREL STEALS CHOCOLATE BAR: Crunchie Caper Nearly wintertime. We keep our door closed. But every once in a while, we open it for some fresh air or delivery - and the menace strikes. It was in the mood for toffee this time... - Primitive Technology: Natural Draft Furnace I built a natural draft furnace to test ideas about how hot a furnace could get without the use of bellows. Natural draft is the flow of air through a furnace due to rising hot air. The hot gasses in the fuel bed are more buoyant than the cold air outside the furnace causing them to rise. Fresh combustion air then enters the base of the furnace to replace the rising combustion gasses, keeping the fuel bed burning. This effect increases with: 1. the average temperature of the fuel bed relative to the outside air and 2. The height of the furnace. Two other important factors are the size of the tuyere (air entry pipe) and lump size of the fuel bed as these effect the resistance to airflow through the furnace. The furnace was tested with wood fuel and some ore was melted but produced no iron. High temperature were indeed produced (probably about 1200 c). These types of furnaces were once used for smelting copper and iron ores in around the world in ancient times, usually using charcoal as a fuel and in some cases wood too.
- A thief in Spain The interviewee, an immigrant from Romania, says that the longest he has been in jail in Spain is 3 days, for 14 times.
- A semi diesel engine starts and jumps in all directions This video illustrates what happends when these two stroke semidiesels run out due to too much oil in the crankcase. With my left hand, I block the injection pump, so from that time the engine run on lube oil only, no diesel at all. I have heard lots of stories about this from decades ago but this is the first time, to my knowledge, that it is captured on video. Luckily we had blocked most of the air intake prior to starting and ended at somewhat over 1000 rpm. Max operating rpm is 425-450. With full air supply, I would guess this engine would reach thousands of rpm and I could only guess what would have happened then...
- Marabouts get their fish stolen by an eagle When a Marabou stork takes its time playing with its food, an eagle swoops in to steal it.
- Bike theft attempt I have my bike sitting in the front yard with TheBlankTrigger attached to test how effective it is on a bike. Apparently, this thief didn't want to steal a bike with flat tires (too much work). Thankfully, I have motion sensors in my front yard (who doesn't?) and I assumed it was birds eating my new grass seed (yes I know the yard looks like crap, work in progress). I'm glad I checked my cameras just in time to catch him in my yard, and with how fast he ran, he didn't need the bike anyway.
- Saudia Airbus A330 200 Makes Emergency Landing Without Nose Gear Saudia Airbus A330 200 leased from Onur Air made an emergency landing at Jeddah's King Abdulaziz Airport with the nose gear retracted. The aircraft had circled Jeddah for several hours and was forced to make two low passes until it was allowed to land on runway 34R at around 22 00 local time.
- Road is in Shocking Condition Occurred on February 13, 2018 / Montreal, Quebec, Canada "Montreal, Quebec in general, is known for the terrible state of its roads. Potholes are nothing new, but this stretch of road not only looked like it was subject to an air-strike, but I saw for the very first time in my life, an exposed electrical wire coming out of the pothole."
- thieves steal €100,000 of bikes from Dutch store This is the moment brazen thieves stole an estimated €100,000 worth of bikes from a shop in the Netherlands. CCTV footage released by the store in Udenhout — 30 kilometres north-west of Eindhoven — shows them running downstairs with multiple bikes at a time. The store has taken to social media to ask for the public’s help in tracking the thieves, who struck in the early hours of January 23. Store co-owner Frank Verschuren told Dutch media they walked back upstairs three times to get more bikes, despite the alarm going off.

- Aluminum and Mercury When mercury is added to aluminum, it forms an amalgam (a mercury alloy). Aluminum is normally protected by a thick oxide layer, but the formation of the amalgam disrupts it. It allows fresh aluminum to react with air to form white aluminum oxide. As the oxide grows, it forms as these cool white fibers.
- An air gun underwater This is a new invention I created, it is being manufactuered by H2Odyssey and will be available some time in September for around $130 at the store. Here is Underwater footage of two Scuba Divers shooting each other with Bubble Rings. The device is a Torid Pulse, it is a sort of Bubble Gun that attaches to the low pressure port of your scuba tank, just like a back up regulator. It will shoot round Bubble Rings up to about 35'. The device is easy and fun to operate, is low maintenance and does not seem to harm the environment, fish are indeferent and it only uses compressed air. On a typical dive of about 30' deep, you can stay submerged for about 45 minutes and still shoot 300 shots or so with out issues of air exhaustion.
- KLM serves a Bonding Christmas Buffet Although Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is a crowded place at Christmas, loads of people spend their transfer time alone – reading a book, or checking their phones. But watch what happens when they bond with each other, instead of their devices. Look up from your screen and you’ll see that magic is in the air. Merry Christmas everyone!
- Dawn of a revolution in urban mobility – first manned flight with the Volocopter VC200 The premiere of manned flights with the world’s first certified Multicopter, e-volo’s Volocopter VC200, marks the beginning of a new era in urban mobility. For the first time humans’ dream of personal flight as a daily routine becomes attainable. As such it not only offers more widespread use in conventional aircraft domains, but brings us another step closer to air taxi services and entire transportation systems in the third dimension. “The flight was totally awesome” pilot Alexander Zosel said right after his landing. “I got in, we did the pre-checks for what felt like maybe 20 seconds, and after that I’d already got the all-clear for flying. I didn’t wait long, I simply pushed the lever upward and the Volocopter simply sprung upward in a single bound.
It is definitely a sublime feeling to lift off, fly the first few meters, and then actually take my hand off the joystick and think that, yeah, it’s really as if I’m standing on the ground, and then I look down and there are 20-25 meters beneath me. So it’s definitely unbelievable what we’ve achieved here. It’s seriously unbelievable!”
