Athletes Go for the Gold with NASA Spinoffs

NASA technology tends to find its way into the sporting world more often than you’d expect. Fitness is important to the space program because astronauts must undergo the extreme g-forces of getting into space and endure the long-term effects of weightlessness on the human body. The agency’s engineering expertise also means that items like shoes and swimsuits can be improved with NASA know-how.

As the 2024 Olympics are in full swing in Paris, here are some of the many NASA-derived technologies that have helped competitive athletes train for the games and made sure they’re properly equipped to win.

The LZR Racer reduces skin friction drag by covering more skin than traditional swimsuits. Multiple pieces of the water-resistant and extremely lightweight LZR Pulse fabric connect at ultrasonically welded seams and incorporate extremely low-profile zippers to keep viscous drag to a minimum.

Swimsuits That Don’t Drag

When the swimsuit manufacturer Speedo wanted its LZR Racer suit to have as little drag as possible, the company turned to the experts at Langley Research Center to test its materials and design. The end result was that the new suit reduced drag by 24 percent compared to the prior generation of Speedo racing suit and broke 13 world records in 2008. While the original LZR Racer is no longer used in competition due to the advantage it gave wearers, its legacy lives on in derivatives still produced to this day.

Trilion Quality Systems worked with NASA’s Glenn Research Center to adapt existing stereo photogrammetry software to work with high-speed cameras. Now the company sells the package widely, and it is used to analyze stress and strain in everything from knee implants to running shoes and more.

High-Speed Cameras for High-Speed Shoes

After space shuttle Columbia, investigators needed to see how materials reacted during recreation tests with high-speed cameras, which involved working with industry to create a system that could analyze footage filmed at 30,000 frames per second. Engineers at Adidas used this system to analyze the behavior of Olympic marathoners' feet as they hit the ground and adjusted the design of the company’s high-performance footwear based on these observations.

Martial artist Barry French holds an Impax Body Shield while former European middle-weight kickboxing champion Daryl Tyler delivers an explosive jump side kick; the force of the impact is registered precisely and shown on the display panel of the electronic box French is wearing on his belt.

One-Thousandth-of-an-Inch Punch

In the 1980s, Olympic martial artists needed a way to measure the impact of their strikes to improve training for competition. Impulse Technology reached out to Glenn Research Center to create the Impax sensor, an ultra-thin film sensor which creates a small amount of voltage when struck. The more force applied, the more voltage it generates, enabling a computerized display to show how powerful a punch or kick was.

Astronaut Sunita Williams poses while using the Interim Resistive Exercise Device on the ISS. The cylinders at the base of each side house the SpiraFlex FlexPacks that inventor Paul Francis honed under NASA contracts. They would go on to power the Bowflex Revolution and other commercial exercise equipment.

Weight Training Without the Weight

Astronauts spending long periods of time in space needed a way to maintain muscle mass without the effect of gravity, but lifting free weights doesn’t work when you’re practically weightless. An exercise machine that uses elastic resistance to provide the same benefits as weightlifting went to the space station in the year 2000. That resistance technology was commercialized into the Bowflex Revolution home exercise equipment shortly afterwards.

Beakers Flask and Measuring Cylinders

 Beakers, flasks, and measuring cylinders are essential pieces of glassware commonly used in laboratories for various scientific tasks such as mixing, heating, measuring, and storing liquids. Each type of glassware serves a specific purpose, with different designs to accommodate different functions.

1. Beakers:

Shape: Cylindrical with a flat bottom and a spout (lip) for easy pouring.

Material: Usually made of glass (borosilicate) or plastic, resistant to heat and chemicals.

Sizes: Range from a few milliliters to several liters.

Usage: Ideal for mixing and heating liquids. Not meant for precise measurements, though they have approximate volume markings on the side.

Common Types:

Low-form beakers: Short and wide, used for general mixing.

Tall-form beakers: Taller and narrower, offering better control for stirring and heating.

2. Flasks:

Common Types:

Erlenmeyer Flask:

Shape: Conical with a narrow neck and wide base.

Usage: Used for mixing, heating, and swirling liquids. The narrow neck prevents splashing, making it ideal for chemical reactions.

Volumetric Flask:

Shape: Round bottom with a long neck.

Usage: Designed for precise measurement of a single, specific volume. Used in preparing standard solutions.

Florence Flask:

Shape: Round bottom with a long neck.

Usage: Used for boiling liquids, often in distillation processes.

Büchner Flask:

Shape: Similar to Erlenmeyer but with thicker walls and a side arm for vacuum filtration.

3. Measuring Cylinders (Graduated Cylinders):

Shape: Tall and cylindrical, with volume graduations marked along the side.

Material: Typically made of glass or plastic.

Sizes: Can range from 10 mL to several liters.

Usage: Used to measure the precise volume of liquids. The liquid level is read at the bottom of the meniscus (the curve seen at the liquid's surface).

Accuracy: More accurate than beakers or flasks for measuring volume.

Key Differences:

Beakers: Primarily for mixing and rough volume estimates.

Flasks: For reactions, heating, and mixing with some specific uses like precise measurements (volumetric flask) or vacuum filtration (Büchner flask).

Measuring Cylinders: For precise volume measurements of liquids.

The Occupied Palestinian Territory is enveloped in a spiral of unstoppable violence, with stories Palestinians and other witnesses relay adding new depths to atrocities the world has witnessed since the beginning of Israel’s assault on Gaza over six months ago, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Francesca Albanese said today. “The pace and intensity with which this violence has spread to the rest of the occupied territory confirms that no Palestinian is safe under Israel’s unfettered control,” Albanese said, concluding a visit to Egypt and Jordan. The Special Rapporteur said Israel had once again arbitrarily denied her access to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, compelling her to report on the situation of Palestinians under occupation from neighbouring states. Albanese said her visit demonstrated that the situation in Gaza is worse than previously assessed, with serious and multi-layered long-term implications. Most victims she met had endured catastrophic injuries, witnessed family members killed and experienced the effects of Israel’s destruction of Gaza’s health infrastructure, even after 26 January 2024, when the International Court of Justice (ICJ) issued a ruling ordering Israel to prevent genocide in Gaza. Patients that previously arrived in Egypt primarily with explosive and war injury-related symptoms are now joined by patients with chronic diseases and/or malnutrition, especially children, arising from Israel’s intentional humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. “Photos from a mere eight months ago show a chubby-cheeked 8-year-old Hamid, now rake thin and spending his days in excruciating pain due to pancreatitis developed through the harsh conditions of the siege,” the Special Rapporteur said. “Those who have left Gaza come out fractured and wracked by ‘survivors’ guilt’ and severe trauma,” Albanese said. “Just 50 kilometers away from the Gaza Strip, crucial, life-sustaining aid and goods, including water desalination equipment, first aid kits, oxygen cylinders and portable toilets – paid for by taxpayers across the world – languish in warehouses, barred entry into Gaza on the pretext of use by combatants.” “Humanitarian measures implemented so far – airdrops and maritime corridors – are a mere palliative for what is desperately needed and legally due,” the expert said. “These measures are grossly inadequate to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe that Israel’s assault has created.” “At this point, Israel has reneged on its international obligations to a degree that warrants a call for sanctions,” Albanese said.

I got curious and did some math, using Re: Dracula to measure how long each phonograph diary entry from Dr. Seward was, and found that by the date of this most recent update (September 26th) he has gone through anywhere between 84 to 85 wax cylinders, as wax cylinders could only record two minutes of audio.

In the US during the time of Dracula, a wax cylinder went for 50 cents a pop, which translates to 1 shilling and 5 pence in England. The median wage in England at the time was £41 a year, meaning that a single cylinder was 0.254% a year's wage in England (0.111% a year's wage in the US).

Adjusting that for inflation in relation to median wages, in Britain a cylinder would cost £88.80, and in the US would cost $41.72. So that's pricey, but for a neat little gimmick in an age where entertainment options were more limited, not too bad.

But then you have to consider Seward has used 84-85 of these things already, which means he's spent 21.6% of an average Brit's yearly income just on his diary.

£7,552.

On wax cylinders.

In under four months.

Just how much fucking money does he make?
