in science class they called this scientific attribute a "Non Newtonian fluid." It's a type fluid whose viscosity, or resistance to flow, changes when a force or pressure is applied to it. It's used in a lot of armor due to it's attributes to absorb/distribute shock.

This is an 80,000-tonne hydraulic forging press from China’s Northern Heavy Industries, one of the largest metal-forming machines ever built. But it is not simply a machine that bends metal like traditional presses do. At this scale, forging is about changing the internal structure of the material itself, compressing the metal, refining its molecular grain flow and eliminating hidden defects that could cause failure decades later. Machines like this are used to create some of the most critical components on Earth, aircraft landing gear, titanium aerospace structures, nuclear reactor components, massive gas turbine rotors and ship propulsion shafts. The metals being forged are among the most advanced engineering materials available, ultra-high-strength steels, titanium alloys and nickel-based superalloys designed to survive extreme temperatures, pressure and millions of fatigue cycles. An 80,000-tonne press is an industrial ecosystem by itself. The press, hydraulic systems, furnaces, manipulators and supporting infrastructure can require hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, with hydraulic systems requiring tens of megawatts of power to control forces equivalent to thousands of tonnes. The biggest industrial machines often do not make the final products. They make the materials that make those products possible.

Seedmaster gurus. This is current running pressure when I have it wound up to 1700 target pressure. Do I have a hydraulic fitting failing on the return, a tyne ram bypassing or maybe both

A non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid that does not follow Newton's law of viscosity, that is, it has variable viscosity dependent on stress. In non-Newtonian fluids, viscosity can change when under force to either more liquid or more solid.

What is the RAT? The RAT is a small wind turbine stowed within the aircraft fuselage and deployed automatically when certain failure conditions are met. Once extended into the airstream, it uses the forward motion of the aircraft to spin and generate power—mechanical, hydraulic, or electrical. Primary Functions of the RAT on the 787-8 1. Hydraulic Backup Power On deployment, the RAT drives a variable displacement inline hydraulic pump. It pressurizes the center hydraulic system, enabling continued operation of critical flight control surfaces such as the ailerons, elevators, and rudder. This is vital in maintaining aircraft controllability if normal hydraulic sources are lost. 2. Supplementary Electrical Power While the RAT is primarily a hydraulic power source on the 787-8, it can also, in some configurations, drive an emergency generator. This generator provides sufficient AC and DC power to support essential avionics, flight displays, and communications systems. Deployment Scenarios: When Does the RAT Automatically Deploy? The RAT on the Boeing 787-8 deploys automatically—without crew input—under the following emergency conditions: 1. Dual Engine Failure If both engines fail, resulting in the loss of engine-driven electrical and hydraulic generation, the RAT deploys to maintain critical flight control power. 2. Complete Electrical Loss to Flight Instruments If there’s a total loss of electrical power to both the captain’s and first officer’s primary flight instruments, the RAT ensures these systems remain powered. 3. Low Pressure in All Three Hydraulic Systems If all three systems—Left, Center, and Right—lose hydraulic pressure, the RAT provides emergency hydraulic power through the center system. 4. EMP Failure + Engine Loss During Takeoff or Landing If all four Electric Motor Pumps (EMPs) fail and an engine fails during takeoff or landing, the RAT deploys to sustain flight control power during these critical phases. Automatic and Autonomous Operation One of the RAT’s key advantages is its fully autonomous activation. Pilots do not need to manually deploy it; the system is designed to react immediately to predefined failure logic, reducing workload and ensuring flight-critical systems remain powered. In Summary The Ram Air Turbine (RAT) on the Boeing 787-8 is not just a backup—it's a lifesaving last resort. It deploys automatically to supply hydraulic and limited electrical power when all other power sources fail. Designed with layered redundancy in mind, it is one of the unsung heroes of modern aircraft systems, ensuring that even in worst-case scenarios, pilots retain control to guide the aircraft—and its passengers—safely to the ground.

Bernoulli's Principle It’s a key idea in fluid dynamics named after Daniel Bernoulli. In simple terms: For a fluid flowing smoothly, an increase in the fluid’s speed happens at the same time as a decrease in pressure or a decrease in the fluid’s potential energy. Where: - P = pressure in the fluid - ρ = fluid density - v = flow velocity - g = acceleration due to gravity - h = height above a reference point Bernoulli's Principle basically says that for a fluid that's flowing smoothly, when its speed goes up, its pressure goes down. Think of it like this: fast-moving air or water pushes less sideways than slow-moving air or water. The energy in the fluid stays the same overall, but it shifts between motion, pressure, and height. That's why an airplane wing creates lift. The air moves faster over the curved top of the wing than underneath, so the pressure on top is lower. The higher pressure below pushes the wing up.

Here is a closer look at that Matthews gas line fire. This video was sent to us by a neighbor. This is right after it started. You can see both trucks from the contracting company on fire. Firefighters say this started when crews hit a natural gas line while drilling to place new power poles. It was extinguished when crews closed the pipe with a hydraulic press. More on WSOCTV at 5 and 6.

Tesla's new wireless charging technology is made in Germany 🇩🇪 The inductive charging pad that Tesla recently unveiled is based on technology from a German startup called Wiferion (formerly Blue Inductive) 👏🏼 “With an overall efficiency of over 93%, the systems based on etaLink technology are leading” - according to a press release from Bonn-based seed investor HTGF, which invested in 2017. 💪🏼 Even Marques Brownlee couldn't believe that 😉 He commented under a Tesla post that contactless charging could achieve a maximum of 75% efficiency. I'm curious to see who will be right in the end. But I think it is save to say, that after Tesla Automation (formerly Großmann), Wiferion was yet another smart purchase of a German company from Tesla.

The fascinating concept of Non-Newtonian fluids, which transition from a liquid state to a solid-like state when pressure is applied, has a rich history that spans several centuries. The study and understanding of these peculiar fluids have evolved over time, leading to a wide range of practical applications and scientific insights. One of the earliest references to Non-Newtonian behavior in fluids dates back to the 17th century when Sir Isaac Newton formulated the basic principles of fluid mechanics. Newton's laws of fluid motion primarily applied to Newtonian fluids, which exhibit constant viscosity and flow behavior regardless of the applied force or pressure. However, it soon became apparent that not all fluids behaved in this predictable manner. In the mid-19th century, a scientist named Thomas Andrews made significant contributions to the understanding of Non-Newtonian fluids. Andrews conducted groundbreaking experiments with carbon dioxide, revealing that under high pressure, this gas could transform into a liquid. This observation marked one of the earliest instances of pressure-induced phase changes in fluids. The term "Non-Newtonian" itself was coined in the 20th century to describe fluids that did not adhere to Newton's classical laws of fluid dynamics. These fluids exhibited a variety of behaviors, but one of the most intriguing was their ability to solidify or increase in viscosity when subjected to stress or pressure. One of the most famous examples of such behavior is cornstarch mixed with water, which forms a substance known as "oobleck" that becomes more solid when pressure is applied. In the modern era, Non-Newtonian fluids have found applications in various fields, including food science, engineering, and material science. They are used in products like quicksand, body armor, and even in the development of impact-resistant materials. One of the key insights that emerged from the study of Non-Newtonian fluids is the importance of understanding the relationship between stress and strain, as well as the influence of time-dependent properties on their behavior. This knowledge has led to advancements in rheology, the study of flow and deformation in materials, and has practical implications in areas such as industrial processing, medicine, and the design of everyday products.
