Supposed to happen a couple days ago, Post.
Bridge the Gap.
So the other day I was watching some show on historic feats in man made (not woman made) construction. Just kidding, I bet a woman did something to build these, like get in the way. Bring the mother fucking ruckus. Anywho, this shit blew my mind. At this point in the night I think I was about 6 beers deep so I deemed it necessary to grab my computer and start doing my research for this post. As you can tell so far, I did a lot...
VIADUC de MILLAU
This baby is over a mile and a half long. It is the tallest bridge in the world, it's tallest mast standing at 1,125 feet. The coolest thing in the world you might say? Nope, it's in France. End of story. Fuck.
Did you hear this? See the soccer ball next to the video resolution? If you click that, it blasts Vuvuzela horns over your video... I kid you not. I tried to see if it was on every video but it is not. See if you can find one.
Obviously if you click on the pictures they will get bigger, nice try Eagle eyes.
Now that you have seen a modern marvel in bridge making technology, look at what they used as a "NOT TO DO" sort of thing. They learn from the best.
Now it is time to blow your mind. Two words, Aeroelastic Flutter. You saw the video of Galloping Gertie. But do you know why that happened? Aeroelastic Flutter. Basically every single thing in the Universe gives off its own natural mode of vibration, everything. So when a 40 mph wind comes tearing through the Tacoma Narrows, that is going to fuck things up. But when that wind matches the natural vibration of the bridge and is larger than the natural damping of the system is where things start to get interesting. Next, I bring you to Self-Exciting Oscillation. This is where shit is totally fucking fucked. There is nothing you can do now, God takes over, or maybe it's his old friend. Read.
I'm not taking questions today. Thank you for your time.
