This is interesting thanks for shearing especially the photos

Looks like a normal place… Just creepily empty. Like 28 days later

Do you think that is air pollution or atmospheric haze after a storm or something?

OwlPaste ,

Its pretty normal around China’s industry. And then the wind blows it all over the place. It sort of comes and goes depending on the wind and direction unless its local

Was this the inspiration for the Pokemon Snap vehicle?

Reminds me a bit of submarines, a bit of the vehicles from DBZ.

Rather have this than the cyber truck.

Very Falloutesque.

It’s also incredibly dangerous. Funny concept, but the second you brake while turning, it tips forward and diagonally. And instead of sliding, the whole thing will roll.

Basically the prototype for the Geo Tracker

It claims it pivots in place, rather than takes wide turns. Would it be any less stable than any other three-wheeled car?

Alteon ,

Oh yeah, it’s much less stable if it actually drives around. Check out other three wheeled vehicles, there’s a very big reason as to why there’s always two wheels in the front than the back.

I guess I would download and print a car, then!

Flintstones shit right here

People will turn to ketchup in that thing… No protection whatsoever…

Where are you going to drive it? Its so big that it needs a proper road even.

Oh wow! Even as a Slovenian this is my first time hearing about this. Are they still there?

That cover image would fit right at home as a poster tacked up somewhere in a Fallout game.

I thought it was something like that when I first saw it because I saw it pasted elsewhere with just the cover and no details- something fake anyway. So I researched it and found someone had scanned the article.

This is interesting but gun type bombs are not feasible for plutonium. The fission rate is too fast and would destroy the plutonium in a “fizzle” instead of a large explosion. This device could not use plutonium because it would have to be much heavier and longer.

The distance required to accelerate the plutonium to speeds where predetonation would be less likely would mandate a gun barrel too long for any existing or planned bomber. The only way to use plutonium in a workable bomb was implosion—a far more difficult engineering task.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_Man_(nuclear_bomb)

Also, the “shaped charge” plutonium bomb could not be assembled on site. It is too delicate a job for “spies” to do in a hotel room. This would have to be Uranium if assembled on site, and it may not even work then.

I wonder if the magazine knows this. Maybe they were fed incorrect info, since this may have been classified at the time.

What about uranium?

You need a bomb sniffing pig to find snizz snukes.
