The science around whisky is complex and interesting. It is so important to Scotland that hey have a special institute devoted to it. I had to visit it a few years ago in a professional capacity (I work for a Life Sciences company). Fascinating. Much of what they do is defining what it is that makes "Scotch" the real deal this helps in the fight against counterfeit "Scotches" that are made in the far east mostly. Also they can study single malts down to some of their consistuent molecules to define what gives each one its individual taste/aroma etc www.swri.co.uk/ |

So, dude is making a replica of the antikythera mechanism (a fancy clock from over 2000 years ago...)
he does a lot of fine work by hand, it's amazing.
My favourite bit check out him making rivets that then blend in with the piece being riveted through peening and polishing.. you can't even see them once he's done.

I don't follow F1 but this video amused me no end..
Turns out some of the teams have been using the oil blowby/PCV system to feed their engines additives during the race.. LOLLOLOLOLOL.

Looks like it might be more efficient for instantly refuelling a car with a hydrogen-powered engine than for an electric car.
I don't know what exactly they mean when they say 1 kg of aluminium can produce 220kW in 3 minutes. Closest I can figure is they mean when you mix 1kg of the stuff with water, within 3 minutes it's releasing hydrogen fast enough to produce 220kw of heat as it's burnt.
