A friend of a friend does deep welding and repair operations where he needs to prepare in the pressurized chamber. He makes $850 an hour, including the time in the pressurized chamber. But, it's super dangerous and he said your career isn't as long as others.

How often do these cables need these repairs, for instance? So good money-- for the time you actually work. It doesn't add up the way it sounds.

Yes, but at a cost. Those blades may look like they're spinning slow, but the tips are zipping at a hundreds of mph. Those large ones with 120m blades are over 1000 mph. Birds get hit, fall into the sea and that attracts sharks who feed on the free meals. It changes the whole ecoscape. The same thing is happening in windfarms in the western US. Eagles and other birds getting wiped out at an alarming rate. So while I agree with the clean power, don't think it doesn't come at a price. A steep price for some

@@JazZy-pn4ms The red pill is knowing how nuclear plants are the absolute greenest form of energy. Solar and wind could never currently keep up with demands, and the pollution caused making and maintaining them is a joke. Natural gas plants (second to nukes) are currently more green than solar and wind. So much of the world still runs on coal and diesel. People need to wake up on this issue.

In space, for something like an O’Neill cylinder, you would need something similar to lay down those cables as it’s being built. The plus side of it, versus just installing and doing a spacewalk is that you can go up and down the cylinder as needed for repairs in comfort and safety of the ring.

@MrSaemichlaus
@MrSaemichlaus 2 місяці тому
Starting such a big engine is a whole process that requires a team of technicians. Those technicians aren't going to be on shift while the ship is anchored for hours or days and no cargo operations happening either. Of course you might have maintenance crews working on the engine at the same time as the propeller has downtime. In such case, everybody is briefed, contractors will announce and report to ship company / captain on deck who coordinates crews. If the engine was somehow started anyways during diving work, it would likely happen slowly and allow for swift evacuation. In any case, ship operators will be in big trouble if it happens. "I'm gonna need you to call this number", diving contractor probably nopes out of there, legal procedures, downtime, financial penalties, all that jazz.
