'Super Steel' Sought For Fusion Reactors
Smivs writes "New research shows how
steel will fail at high temperatures because of the magnetic properties of the metal.
Scientists say an understanding of how the Twin Towers collapsed will help them develop the materials needed to build fusion reactors.
The New York buildings fell when their steel backbones lost strength in the fires that followed the plane impacts.
Dr Sergei Dudarev told the British Association Science Festival that improved steels were now being sought.
The principal scientist at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) said one of the first applications for these better performing metals would be in the wall linings of fusion reactors."
bit shamefull to abuse this day, on which the world remembers the victims of this horrible disaster to make these statements how usefull it could be for science.
It is almost like they are happy the attacks took place.
It never melted either
Can you then explain for me (for us?) why did constructers find a pools of melted steel after weeks under the ruins?
Fireproofing is rated by the hour uh? How long did each tower burn? You think the world's biggest skyscrapers were rate for 1 hour of fire? That's a big vote of confidence on the firefighters. ;-)
You see, the reason we openly mock those who swallow whole piles of bullshit whole is exactly the same! But factual in this case. Creationists are mocked because they take bible bullshit at face value. Science is conducted independently and can't make it's conclusions official and true by having the government write a book in red, blue and white with a big 9/11 on the cover. See the similarities there? Use the comparison if you like, but makes you look kinda bad. :-)
Send your spendthrift head of state this
