Daddy Long Legs lookin ass

He's indestinguishable from the night sky on account of the fact that he's like vantablack and absorbs all light that hits him - That and being crazy bright during the daytime that he seems to have no shadows, either. The outlines don't actually exist on him, and are purely just for visualizing what he looks like.

Despite him being, like, A Comet, I don't have a lot of thought into him biologically? He's just an entity. There's a lot of weirdness to him, like, if he is discovered (and doesn't want to be), he scares off the discoverer by making it appear that it's very quickly changing from day to night and screaming at them, and the fact that he is so light, he often makes it harder to find his shape by walking on the tops of trees, barely making them bend under his miniscule weight like he's a massive hunk of graphene aerogel.

He can also kind of walk/sit on water, which is a little important since during the daytime he walks out into the ocean so that there's nothing but more water and sky in the horizon.

Fritz in this AU is an astronomer who discovered him when he opened one of his eyes right into the lens of his telescope, and studied him further when he realized that Comet's "night sky disguise" actually is an identical projection of outer space. It eventually gets romantical

Now to make ships more buoyant, and also bringing down the weight of cargo containers as well as the packaging that goes around a product and you can make the packaging heat resistant as well as water resistant and lighter than air!!! Doing this trains planes, cargo ships. Semi trucks can carry more weight.And news overall less fuel!!!! Now putting this in seats of planes in seats of trains and other things, our cars, we can reduce the weight of a vehicle.We can reduce the weight of a semi.We can reduce the weight of a ship.We can reduce the weight of a plane... so making it multiple times lighter than air can help reduce the weight of a building... So this allows you to go taller in the building without having to increase the overall strength of the foundation... But this also makes the building more stable... So there are many applications to this, but let's think about ships and putting this in between the hall and a ship to make it more buoyant. Think about putting this in a cargo container in between the material, the interior and exterior panels of a cargo container, making the cargo containe Lighter than air!!! But also, you can see that the packaging can be incredibly waterproof making the cargo container waterproof airproof fireproof and I'll add the videos!!!! This is a way to increase fuel economy of cars, planes, trains, and so on, so we can bring consumption down, and that will make things much better reducing global warming and helping us reduce our footprint on the surface of the Earth and we can do this with clothing as well, and it will help humans. Feel less effect of gravity, and especially for seniors taking gravitational pressure, offer them... So this will help slow down aging!!

Meet the New FedEx Efficient Containers. Lighter design. Less ...

Oct 3, 2013 — Efficient containers, which begin service with our maiden 767 flight later this month, will be significantly lighter than the models currently in our network.

To create an airframe lighter than air, you would need to design a structure that can be filled with a gas less dense than the surrounding air, like helium or heated air, which creates buoyancy and allows the craft to float, essentially acting like a large balloon with a controlled frame; this type of aircraft is commonly called an airship, blimp, or dirigible depending on its design and rigidity.

Key elements of a lighter-than-air airframe:

Lifting Gas Envelope:

A large, flexible or rigid container made from lightweight materials like fabric or composite materials designed to hold the lifting gas (helium is preferred due to its non-flammable nature).

Gondola or Cabin:

A separate compartment within the airship where passengers or cargo are housed, with necessary controls and equipment.

Structural Framework:

A supporting structure (rigid in a dirigible, flexible in a blimp) that maintains the shape of the envelope and provides stability.

Propulsion System:

Motors and propellers for controlled movement and steering.

Challenges in building a lighter-than-air airframe:

Gas Management: Ensuring the lifting gas remains contained and doesn't leak.

Weather Dependence: Sensitivity to wind conditions and potential for large-scale movement with changing weather patterns.

Payload Capacity: Balancing the weight of the structure and payload with the lifting capacity of the gas.

Examples of lighter-than-air vehicles:

Hot Air Balloon: A simple lighter-than-air craft where hot air is used as the lifting gas.

Blimp: A non-rigid airship with a flexible envelope.

Zeppelin: A rigid airship with a strong internal framework.

More

Creating an airplane frame that is lighter than air is currently not possible with existing technology, as the fundamental principle of flight requires an aircraft to displace more air than its own weight to generate lift. This means that the structure itself would need to be incredibly lightweight and have a massive volume to contain a lifting gas like helium or hydrogen to achieve buoyancy, making it more akin to a blimp or airship rather than a traditional airplane design.

Key Challenges:

Material limitations:

No known material is strong enough to create a large, lightweight structure capable of withstanding the forces of flight while being lighter than air.

Volume requirements:

To achieve significant lift, the airship-like structure would need to be incredibly large, making maneuverability and control difficult.

Lifting gas concerns:

Helium, the most commonly used lifting gas, is expensive and can be difficult to contain in a large volume.

Potential Approaches (Highly Theoretical):

Advanced composite materials:

Developing extremely strong and lightweight composite materials like carbon nanotubes or graphene could potentially be used to create a very thin, large structure.

Vacuum technology:

A hypothetical concept would involve creating a rigid vacuum chamber within the aircraft structure, effectively displacing air with a vacuum to generate lift. However, maintaining a vacuum in a large, complex structure poses significant engineering challenges.

Current Research:

Hybrid airships: Some research is exploring hybrid designs that combine aspects of airplanes and airships, potentially allowing for greater maneuverability while still utilizing the buoyancy of lifting gas.

The slowness is what caused scurvy, though.

Of course, ultralight modern materials combined with the rigging from the windjammers—the ships intended to compete with steam (and which did, for a long time, since there are places around Africa where you’ll run out of coal but the wind still blows)—might make sail competitive with powered ships.

Replacing the ship steel in a windjammer with graphene aerogel would reduce the mass of the heaviest part of the ship by 99.8%.

We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched

Transforming Construction with Advanced Material Technology

The construction industry, a cornerstone of modern civilization, has been evolving for millennia. From ancient mud bricks to modern skyscrapers, the materials used in construction have always played a crucial role in shaping the world around us. Today, as we stand on the brink of a new era, advanced material technology is transforming construction in unimaginable ways. This article delves into how these cutting-edge materials are revolutionizing the industry, making it more efficient, sustainable, and innovative. The Evolution of Construction Materials Historically, construction materials were chosen for their availability and basic functional properties. Stone, wood, and clay were the primary materials, with advancements such as concrete development in ancient Rome marking significant milestones. However, the 20th century brought innovation by introducing steel, reinforced concrete, and synthetic materials like plastics. These innovations paved the way for modern architecture, allowing for taller buildings, longer bridges, and more resilient structures. In the 21st century, the focus has shifted toward materials that meet structural and aesthetic requirements, address environmental concerns, and enhance overall performance. The need for sustainable development, energy efficiency, and resilience in the face of climate change drives this shift. Advanced Materials Reshaping the Industry Self-Healing Concrete Concrete is the most widely used construction material globally, but it is prone to cracking over time, leading to costly repairs and maintenance. Enter self-healing concrete, a revolutionary material that can repair its cracks. This is achieved by incorporating microcapsules containing healing agents like bacteria or chemical compounds. When a crack forms, these capsules break open, releasing the healing agent that fills the crack and hardens, restoring the concrete's integrity. The potential impact of self-healing concrete on the construction industry is immense. It could significantly reduce maintenance costs, extend the lifespan of structures, and enhance safety. This technology is precious in infrastructure projects like bridges, tunnels, and highways, where repair work can be disruptive and expensive. Graphene-Enhanced Materials Graphene, a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, is hailed as a wonder material due to its extraordinary strength, conductivity, and flexibility. Its integration into construction materials has opened up new possibilities for more robust, lighter, and durable structures. Graphene-enhanced concrete, for example, is more robust than traditional concrete and more resistant to water and chemical damage. This means buildings and infrastructure made with graphene-enhanced concrete could last longer and require less maintenance. Additionally, graphene's conductive properties make it ideal for intelligent buildings, where sensors and electronic systems can seamlessly integrate into the structure. Aerogels Aerogels are ultra-light materials derived from a gel, where the liquid component is replaced with gas. Despite their low density, aerogels have remarkable insulating properties, making them ideal for energy-efficient buildings. They can be used in walls, roofs, and windows to reduce heat loss and save energy. Moreover, aerogels are also being explored for their potential in fire-resistant construction. Their ability to withstand high temperatures without degrading makes them suitable for enhancing the fire safety of buildings, which is increasingly important in the face of rising urbanization and climate-related risks. 3D-Printed Materials 3D printing technology has made significant strides in recent years, and its application in construction is gaining momentum. 3D-printed buildings and components offer numerous advantages, including reduced waste, faster construction times, and the ability to create complex designs that would be difficult or impossible with traditional methods. Materials used in 3D printing for construction include concrete, plastics, and even biocomposites. These materials can be tailored to specific needs, such as improved insulation, acoustic properties, or environmental sustainability. As 3D printing technology advances, we can expect more widespread adoption in the construction industry, leading to a new era of customization and efficiency. Phase-Change Materials (PCMs) Phase-change materials (PCMs) absorb and release thermal energy during melting and solidifying. In construction, PCMs can be integrated into building materials to regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems. For example, PCMs can be incorporated into walls, floors, or ceilings. During the day, the material absorbs excess heat as temperatures rise, preventing the interior from becoming too warm. When temperatures drop, the stored heat is released at night, maintaining a comfortable indoor environment. This passive temperature regulation can lead to significant energy savings and contribute to the sustainability of buildings. The Impact of Advanced Materials on Sustainable Construction One of the most significant drivers of advanced material technology in construction is the need for sustainability. The construction industry substantially contributes to carbon emissions, and there is increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint. For instance, using Galvanized Steel Pipe for Sale in production projects can offer long-lasting resistance to corrosion, ensuring that infrastructures stay solid and dependable over the years. Advanced materials offer solutions that can help achieve this goal in several ways: - Energy Efficiency: Materials like aerogels and PCMs improve the energy efficiency of buildings, reducing the need for fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. - Resource Conservation: The use of self-healing concrete and graphene-enhanced materials extends the lifespan of structures, reducing the need for frequent repairs and the consumption of new materials. - Waste Reduction: 3D printing and other advanced fabrication techniques minimize material waste during construction, contributing to a circular economy where resources are reused and recycled. - Carbon Sequestration: Some advanced materials are designed to capture and store carbon dioxide, turning buildings into carbon sinks. For example, certain types of concrete can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere over time, helping to offset the carbon emissions associated with their production. Challenges and Future Directions While the potential of advanced material technology in construction is vast, there are still challenges to overcome. These include: - Cost: Many advanced materials are currently more expensive than traditional options, hindering widespread adoption. However, costs will decrease as research progresses and production scales up. - Regulation and Standards: Introducing new materials requires updating building codes and standards to ensure safety and performance. This process can be slow and complex, particularly in industries like construction that are heavily regulated. - Compatibility: Integrating advanced materials with existing construction practices and materials can be challenging. This requires collaboration between material scientists, architects, engineers, and builders to develop compatible systems and techniques. Looking ahead, the future of construction will likely be defined by the continued development and adoption of advanced materials. As the industry embraces these innovations, we can expect to see buildings that are more efficient and sustainable and more resilient and adaptable to the challenges of the 21st century. Architecture Firms in Oman, for instance, are more and more incorporating contemporary substances into their designs to acquire each functional and visible excellence. The ability to apply substances that offer specific homes and finishes complements innovative opportunities and contributes to more excellent, sustainable, and resilient homes. Conclusion Advanced material technology is transforming the construction industry in profound ways. These innovations make construction more efficient, sustainable, and resilient, from self-healing concrete and graphene-enhanced materials to aerogels and 3D-printed structures. As we move towards a future where environmental concerns and resource scarcity are at the forefront, the role of advanced materials will only become more critical. By embracing these technologies, the construction industry can build a better, more sustainable world for future generations. Read the full article
