If that is the case maybe they should have left them to their normal messy ways. That is a real world way of dealing with things. They live in an area where that is common from heat and other realities. It's completely viable and fits normal experience. It's not always good to force things that are normal in one environment to another. Too many subtle details. People do things for a reason. Even if they don't know why(which they probably do there.). The longer we are in one place the more highly adapted we become. Speaking of which, I wonder if there are any animals or bugs that could have been used in the environment to destroy the stuff long ago for basically free. As long as it doesn't produce highly explosive ants or something. That or the fact they are in a desert, maybe they could take a policy of selling it for actual fertilizer use. Could have solved the money problems. Or is that usable in the environment. Not sure how farming works there. If there are other dangers may be pre mix it in dirt or something and make it inert somehow. Compost maybe? Whatever actually works.

That isn't how that works. It's unlimited because it's freely available in realistically infinite amounts. Conversion energy means nothing if you can pump in more and convert it. You are missing how realistic things work. Cold plasma is supposed to be very efficient at breaking down things. If it can do that efficiently then it's sustainable. If you want you can use solar or other things to start the process or another source. One being the existing gas tanks. Which is very realistic in a real world scenario. The primary purpose is decontaminating the food. There are natural things at work doing the work for use we can tap into.

I've posted the actual footage at the beginning of the event. People were wondering about fireworks or what started the blast. Does that footage give hints as to how this started?
-
This is the initial fire before the main explosion. Looking directly in the building from an adjacent rooftop. Does this give hints as to the initial fire or the substance burning or igniting?! timestamp at 35-49 seconds.
-
Are these fireworks? This is literally the roof right next to the initial fire. I wonder if the person taking the video at that point survived. He ran and had some of the building possibly taking the blast.

The one thing about the shockwave was that it also didn't seem to move the preexisting grey plume right next to it. Is that normal or does that indicate something about the fire and the smoking material? You can see at the 2:00 mark that the before grey plume and after the red plume forms isn't moved much. NVM, at 2:56 you can see it shove the cloud a bit. I assumed it would push a lot farther and dissipate the first cloud. Does the content of the grey plume have a lot of mass or do shockwaves tend to not hit other gaseous airborne things easily since it can potentially jiggle around or be pushed easily in odd directions? You can see the grey and red intermixing at the bottom of the plumes. You can also see a gap in the shockwave which I'm assuming is from the grain silo taking the brunt of the force. I wonder if you can use that to guestimate the energy and directional forces hitting the grain silo. You can directly see that space form in the shock wave from the building blocking it. Here is another view of the dent in the shockwave. Are these fireworks? This is literally the roof right next to the initial fire.

https://www.france24.com/en/20200805-lebanon-has-less-than-a-month-s-grain-reserves-after-beirut-blast This is the other problem in lebanon. This brings up a corona problem. Could we make massive ships that keep their stuff clean in the boat for cross country shipments of food and other goods. this could have redundancy in the boat and at port and all stages of transit. Or is the electrical cost too high? The other idea is then to use the cold plasma to convert water and air into fuel and then use that to fuel the boat and or generate electricity.. Or minimize fuel/electricity. How far could this be taken. Could current boats be equipped to use it to keep food corona free? How much energy does it take to generate this and what designs could be made. What is the maximum that could be done? This could include other things along the way to help make it efficient. For instance are MHD generators useful with cold plasma? One idea is you could put them on the nozzles actually used to prep the food or along other areas of flow to generate electricity or other things. You could keep it magnetized to the boat or to various structures and even use the boat as a giant field or something weird. Maybe go to automated boats and get rid of crews. Or have crews go on a side boat or tug like boat that helps at port and not on the actual ship. It could have remote overrides and stuff. No idea. Just coming up with random ideas. Even more random. Then you could make them into submarines and use them in shallow water and make them work like super cavitation missiles to get to port faster! Obviously it would have to stop along the way(or before hitting something), but the tech could make for faster travel and less fuel from longer trips. You are basically adding super aerodynamics, but the boat equivalent. This could be great for things across long ocean stretches like the major oceans. Assuming there aren't other issues. Could the cold plasma be used to actually propel the boat? I'm assuming it's strong point is not heavy loads. Unless it's a lot in a very small burst with a prepared fuel load which it could generate itself from it's environment. Any of this could lead to greater autonomy or functionality to existing fleets. Or newer greater vessels.

There was also a fire with a grey plume first. Then the big explosion with the red dust came up. I wonder what caught on fire first to cause the explosion. You could see a lot fires all over that building. In the first 15 seconds of the first video you can see a bunch of fire shooting out and lightning or electrical stuff going off in or near the grey plume. I also prescribe to the theory that the bride was also possibly miffed with something about the wedding and it remotely cause the initial fire that then detonated the ammonium nitrate! 8)

Does anyone know what likely happened? From what I can tell it was the side building as a shipping area and an offloading building or something. (no idea what it really is.) It's next to a giant grain silo like cement building and caught fire then a very large explosion happened. The explosion had a very round shape(for the most part.) is this from being a shaped explosion(purposeful bomb or a normal container?) or just from the potential shear amount of material being stored? It also had distinct red/brown material in the air afterword. And the shockwave didn't move the heavier ploom clouds. Or the clouds in the sky. Is this normal for a shockwave. I would have thought it would have been stronger. Or does this help measure the explosive force. There are videos of it exploding from a large ways away outside the city and it had a weird riptide effect on the clouds like it past through them with minimal effect as far as positioning went. Lots of angles: (At 2:13 you can see cracks in the cement. This is an above ground apartment. I'm assuming the cracks occurred because of the explosion. I wonder if or how much of that can be repaired or would be require buildings to be demoed and rebuild?) At 2:30 you can see the remove hill view with the shockwave going through the clouds. At 13-14 seconds you can see the explosion rip into the large building next to it. Other shots show the effect from the other side afterwords. Before and after: (At 24 seconds there is a cruise liner right at the site. Does anyone know what ship it is. I wonder if it has passengers on it at the time. Bad place to park a cruise liner.) Pre pictures are from may 31's I think. different boats in the befores. The hole is where the explosions occured. The building before is the building that was there previously. Bride explodes: I'm assuming if this was a nuke it was a very small nuke. I'm also assuming it was some form of massive chemical explosion. Someone was saying ammonia nitrate or something. Can anyone tell independently what it might have been? That or the bride exploded out of rage because she didn't like the dress!! >< You can see the outside of the silo building turned to dust and is in piles next to itself. That or that is some collected material from the explosion hitting it and falling to the ground afterwords or similar. And can sufficient number of these videos on youtube recoup the cost of the explosion?

Wouldn't a train engineer have the education to know if it could reach the boat. Isn't that part of the education to become a train engineer? I thought they had to at least have a general engineering background. This story is very odd. Sounds like they made it up and some hippy made up a story about it. How does any of this make sense for someone with an actual education. Or can anyone become a train engineer these days. I'll assume it does not require an engineering degree anymore. https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/how-to-become-a-train-engineer Apparently not. I would say make it a requirement for entry level work for people going into engineering. I mean an engineer(the namesake of the profession) actually being a requirement for the job... Although it would probably just lead a bunch of people to flood engineering to get the jobs. I'm surprised it pays so much also. 60k a year with only a high school diploma and good stamina... I could make a joke about running a train, but it might derail the thread. It's treated like a truck driver by the looks of it and not an engineering profession. Do they not do repairs or anything. Could they not improve the operation or design of the train if run by professionals... Engineers have higher ethics and would be more suited for this outside of the boredom. Which they are also accustom to. How did we get it so we don't have actual engineers being engineers... 60k a year would be great for people who want to get an entry level job after college. Get to see the world too. Only downside I could see is if it makes people leave the job more for higher paying work(it might not matter as less experience/training would be needed by engineering graduates making this less of a problem.). Although I have a feeling this work already similarly works this way for other reasons. At least you would have the potential for retention. With that much education running around you could probably expand businesses also. Or are the people running these companies so corrupt and greedy somehow they have to worry about people who understand everything around them being employed? We need to stock society with higher education anyway. Why not start with something like this. More engineers running things would not hurt the world. Outside of people who hate educated people and ethics. Which seem to already be in every facet of life already. That would be the only problem if those people resist out of fear of competition or other things. I would think the increase in education amongst drivers at least would help versatility for the companies normal operations. They could teach them to do more repairs and have more safety in case of emergencies potentially. And staffing could be more versatile. Training would take less time and people could swap positions more readily or gain position more quickly if that is already normal. And they could probably apply better training for more advanced tasks. This would only be stopped by the owners getting in the way if they are also not actual engineers. Then you get the same potential problems of software companies being owned by people not as educated as they should be as that is always a hindrance.

https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/02/825897966/train-engineer-says-he-crashed-in-attempt-to-attack-navy-hospital-ship-in-l-a Is NPR a joke sight. If not how does someone crash a train into a concrete barrier and derail it and not die?! What would be the physics behind this? Is this the NPR from that show from the 90's joe rogan was on or is this a real NPR. I thought it was a real news organization though. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/us/train-derailed-mercy-coronavirus-trnd/index.html I'm going to assume it was not as violently as the first storry made it sound. It said full speed.. It would be funny if there was some sort of gas leak or something involved. I wonder if trains can give off fumes and literally make someone get weird like that. I bet nobody involved will look into anything like that.

Couldn't they just put the exit on the top of the tank and have it use pipes down to the bottom and use either pumps or other forces to pull it out? I would imagine the only reason not to is something to do with efficiencies in weight or other factors. Maybe a separate system pushing a plate up to minimize or remove gaps. A second system pushes air in the bottom and the sealed plate pushes the fuel out along with pumps etc. If it's light enough to be pushed by airpressure it can't be that heavy can it? If not put pumps on the bottom to push the plate instead of sucking out. Probably need mini chambers to hold it until release though as to not get air gaps. Or is that easy to deal with?
-
I know there are fusion reactors using plasma. I wasn't sure if the fusion was generating it or if it was being generated to aid the process. Either way, is cold fusion usable in the process. Either to aid in it or to keep the parts alive longer by cooling off the plasma to save some level of maintenance and possibly efficiency overall? I thought something indicated that it could be useful in the process. Maybe it can rip it back apart afterwords?! 8) I saw a video on a particular reactor, but I can't find it now.

One Tank For Several Propellants? Possible?
Arugela replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Cold Plasma combined with solar or similar? I think I read there are some solar panels or something that could be used in deep space with cold plasma or MHD stuff and still work. I'm assuming cold plasma can split it at a doable amount of energy. Or maybe given enough time. Couldn't find info on how long it takes to do something like that. Or how much. -
The Effects Of Diamagnetic Launch and Reentry
Arugela replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Could cold plasmsa be useful there? Maybe have it burn the oxygen and coat the ship in cold plasma. I would assume there are several ways to go about that. -
Infinite Cold plasma based on oxygen? (Applied to model kits!)
Arugela replied to Arugela's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I actually have one of these glass containers. I wonder if you can just use silicon and that layer of other meaterial between the lid and the base to fit in the electric and tubings. Then you can possibly adjust it later and you can avoid cutting glass. This makes it even simpler. Apply a bike pump or later a compressor. I actually have a cheap 30 dollar mini fridge. I wonder if it has a compressor in it. I'm assuming it's all electric though and uses something like peltiers though. I wonder how much pressure you need to achieve to try to do coatings with the stuff in this video: And are there any safety issues besides glass flying if it implodes. I really like the idea of that coating method. If you can apply a thin strong layer and then remove it from a mold you can make endless versions of it. I wonder if that thing of a layer could be used make a mold. Is titanium or anything easily used in this strong enough to make a coating as mold for later versions? And can anything be put between it and a model kit to not destroy the original plastic but still use it later. Might need clay and a mold I'm guessing. But if the vacuum chamber and the method could produce both it might be convenient. -
I saw something on an english company using oxygen as the basis of their cold plasma for getting rid of contaminents in the air. https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2018/02/09/researchers-to-develop-new-allergy-relief-device-using-cold-plasma-technology/ Could this be reapplied to make things for toys like gundam models. Could it be used with either weak lasers or electromagnetics to make laser gun toys, laser swords, plasma bolt toys that actually shoot out little balls of cold plasma? Lastly could it be made into mini thrusters to power it and then infinitely fly around and have mini animatronic/electronics making the mech into a tiny real life robot? I assume it would have to be pretty light. But could it be possible? Could either mini compressor or some other form of rechargeable oxygen battery be used to power it for as long as desired? (balancing storage vs intake as needed.) I assume adding oxygen, or even possibly taking it away could effect the end result somehow. http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2016/05/1100-proj-0033-tiefsturmer-deep-striker_26.html https://www.ohmygundam.com.my/products/mechanicore-1-120-deep-striker-permium-version Might have to cast stuff in lighter materials. And figure out proper balance. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsif.2018.0713 https://news.cnrs.fr/articles/on-the-hot-trail-of-cold-plasmas https://engineering.purdue.edu/ColdPlasma/research/plasma-experiments Little balloons might be a good way to put in light containers that can be sucked out for extra thrust if the maximum pressure is controlled to not tear it or suck it in. If compressors are used they could release into it at a controlled pressure to fill it. This could simulate thrusters potentially. Or something to smooth out air pressure or something odd. (Maybe) I wonder if you can miniaturize it in a way to get rid of the higher voltage also. Something so it can be run on batteries and maybe use thrust to produce electricity to recharge batteries for as long as possible. If anything the thrusters could be visual only and not provide enough lift to do anything. It would be an improvement to leds if anything. And you could reproduce some of the mechs actual systems in the process for fun. This may work in some cases as a way of making low level illumination: This could be used to coat the plastic or another mold material(preferably lightweight) and then use realistic magnetic coatings to paint. Hopefully reproducing whatever they would use on a real mech. Or just getting a nice paint job. It seems to retain a lot of detail also. So, you could customize the parts as much as possible and retain all detail from modifying the plastic layer. You could also probably isolate parts and magnetize them with frames in place to paint parts in different orders making more options for painting. It might make it easier to tape stuff off and not have it bleed if the magnet is drawing the paint in more to the center of where you are painting. It could also reproduce real methods for real world objects for realism. Neuro computer to control the mech!! >< https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonthermal_plasma Power? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator Could you use cold plasma and make the system within the efficiencies to power batteries or something in a model and keep the weight down? Or proportional to what the scale from a, "real," mech would be? Obviously the point would be to make a completely safe version for toys. It would be cool to have model kits with little cold plasma laser swords that can bounce off each other and little laser guns and rifles that shoot cold plasma possibly combined with a weak laser for visuals. And little thrusters regardless of if they are effective. It would be nicer than LEDs by a long shot. Let alone real servos and moving parts. Maybe magnets to lower the overall power draw: I'm assuming this is what a lot of mechs are using internally. I see a lot of glowy disks in them. Either way, the idea could make cool little robots for space stuff. They could fly around and look for wholes and have little arms to do maintenance. Or aid in stuff while in space. Especially if they could convert things into fuel or convert fuel into air and water etc.

But a lot of machines have both bipap and cpap. They can be set to either with a setting. Cpap is kind of a catch all term. They do put a good amount of stuff in your lungs though. Maybe not if it's filled with flem and pus, but it's still something.
-
That brings up something I've been curious about. 1. Are cpaps counted as ventilators in the count for ventilators/lack thereof we keep hearing about? 2. Do cpaps work in place of other ventilators in case of sickness etc. 3. If 1 is no and 2 is yes are there more cpaps about in warehouses that could be added to the list to keep people alive who get sick? If there is a large stock of various cpap machines why can't they be bought or handed out to people who need them to increase the ventilator stock? I bet they are cheaper than many hospital varieties also. Assuming they don't use them as such. And there could be large amount of them. Not to mention a separate production que potentially. If they are not from the same companies, or even if they are, it could be an additional production que to get more faster.

They are right next to china. They were also one of the first places it spread too. It should have hit their poor like a ton of bricks. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/30/india-confirms-first-case-of-the-coronavirus.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_India January of 2020! They were already hit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_India The population of the US basically. This should have been pandemic central. There is no way it was avoided. It wasn't avoided. India is the perfect test for what the pandemic does. It is completely open to spreading there. https://www.soschildrensvillages.ca/news/poverty-in-india-602 This estimates even more. India is literally the perfect storm. Most of their population doesn't even have TV or radio potentially to get the info. How can they quarantine anyone without it spreading?! The poor population is the most likely to ignore it also as it risks their lives the most because of lack of food or other resources. Look at china for examples. let alone I bet most of them don't have plumbing. So, when they all congregate at the river to wash clothes and bathe what should happen. [smip] they should be massive carriers and the problem starts back up again potentially with any population movements. India's population should be mostly dead at this point. We should have seen a biblical end of times, death of the firstborns population drop in India by now. the congregation of flies should be visible from orbit and they should be spreading to surrounding nations like the plague of flies in egypt spreading it even more.[snip] https://abcnews.go.com/International/toxic-foam-pollutes-indias-sacred-yamuna-river/story?id=57995346 There is nothing logical about this whole pandemic. If it's too good to be true IT IS. The only other answer is the pollution killed corona. At which point why aren't we studying it to death for a cure?! Nothing is adding up. One person in india sick should have basically doomed their entire poor as it went up like mount st. helens. https://www.britannica.com/video/82384/awe-geologists-explosion-Mount-Saint-Helens-May-18-1980 As I said, they were some of the first hit. They started this back in January. How did they not bloom like everyone else on the planet?! [snip] Why do you think they are late to the party. Why not actually look up the info first... Two seconds of googling will solve this. Mountains mean nothing with modern transportation. Even with ancient transportation transport across those mountains was common. The ancient native populations were very adept at it. And still are. Add this to the mix. Where is the food for the poor coming from(since January). If they are isolated how do they eat. Maybe they have dried food(maybe), but what about water?! They cannot isolate. Only live. And they have every level of poor. Mud hut poor, Ramshackle massive village poor like in brazil, low in come house poor, etc. They have poor from every type and should be reflective of it just like the rest of the planet. Please, somebody, explain this to me.

I don't get how it's not possible their lifestyles(which they can't avoid) has not made it spread like a wildfire through their poor populations and literally dropped the human population by many percentages. It's statistically impossible given their situation. It should have been the biggest part of the pandemic. There is no logical reason for it not happening. It should be defining the entire pandemic. And it should have already happened. Their line about them being hard on the pandemic is repurposed bovine waste. It's not possible and it hasn't happened. They have no way as a country to avoid the pandemic. They are the biggest sitting duck on the planet. Something is very wrong with this whole thing. As in massively conspiratorially wrong. They could not hide a large percentage of the human population dieing at once. The body piles would be too high(and viewable from satelites.). Or the smell of corpses would reach other nations. It's too much too fast. It would outdo the entire black death of Europe and be the biggest tragedy in human history on it's own. There is no way to hide that. Or that it hasn't happened. And it hasn't. Something fishy this way comes. This should be the biggest shock of human history at this point. But nobody is noticing it. And governments will be lieing through their teeth when/if the public notices it(And everyone is too stupid at this point by the looks of it. Sadly proving public education has done it's job.). Assuming they don't bite the efficient lockdown nonsense. [snip] With the info we have been given this is the only logical outcome. And it doesn't matter which point you argue from. The rest of the points won't make sense because of this alone.
-
One thing bothers me about all this. India namely. [snip] But given their open completely exposed populous they should all be dead by now. So, what is happening?! How has india not dropped in population by at least 50% yet?! It's one of if not the most bizarre thing so far out of the entire, "pandemic." To be fair, the employee with the name tag on the side guarding it is standing 6 feet away for his own safety while the people in line aren't. Little details make big differences.
