Crew members aboard a Canadian National Railway freight locomotive captured roughly 84 seconds of video on July 13 that puts viewers right inside the cab as wildfire pushed close to the tracks near Armstrong in northwestern Ontario. The recording, later shared publicly, shows the train stalled while intense flames and thick smoke turned the view outside into a constant swirl of orange.
There has always been a lot of information that could be gathered from Beta Pictoris, which is the best place to learn about the formation of planets in our galaxy. It’s located just 63 light years away from us, and it was formed some 23 million years ago. There is a lot of debris material around this star, along with two heavy impacting planets.
James Bruton has fabricated many rideable machines over the years. This one began with a simple question: could ordinary elastic bands, the thick variety offered for exercising, store enough energy to propel a full-size cart carrying a person? The solution emerged after weeks of testing, gear ratios, special plates, and meticulous winding. The final contraption rolled approximately ten meters using nothing but twisted resistance bands.
Drake Anthony spends a lot of time in the workshop, continually pushing the boundaries of what you can produce with basic materials. His recent video on the styro pyro 2 channel attempts to replicate a phenomenon discovered over three centuries ago. The ultimate result is a glass flask that emits visible light when shaken, eliminating the need for batteries, wiring, or other external power sources.
Longtime owners of the Neo Geo AES have watched countless other platforms receive Doom ports over the decades. The console always looked like a strong candidate on paper, with its fast 68000 processor and graphics hardware built for fast sprite handling. Yet the 64 kilobytes of RAM available to the main CPU kept creating a hard stop for anyone who tried a straight conversion. A fresh project shows the limitation was never as final as it once seemed.
