 We have shared with you before the theory behind what happens when a plane is struck by lightning, but this is probably the first time you actually get to see it happen. A passenger who was waiting for a storm to pass to board his flight caught the exact moment when a lightning bolt struck a Delta airliner. The video was recorded at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in the United States. Jack Perkins was stuck at the airport due to the bad weather, waiting to board his flight from Atlanta to Minneapolis. Bored, he decided to film the massive storm and the other planes outside. That was when he managed to catch the exact moment when a lightning bolt struck Delta's Boeing 737-900R. "While filming the line of planes all stacked up during a ground hold in Atlanta on 8/18/15 I happened to capture this direct lightning strike on a 737," Perkins explained. The 111 passengers and six crew members on board of Delta Flight 67 heading to Las Vegas, Nevada were not affected, and in fact might not have even known they were struck by lightning. When the discharge strikes a plane, electricity simply travels through the outer shell of the aluminum fuselage, not causing any actual damage to the plane or anyone in it, as you can see from our article what happens when a plane is struck by lightning. |
| Lasers are one of the coolest stuffs to be used in our daily life! There are laser guns, so called laser swords, laser welding, laser cutting to name a few. Yes lasers are also used to drill holes on really really hard metals but let's see what BullseyeBore have got for us!  Courtesy Bullseyebore Yes, the name is indeed cruel and terrifying but no, the BullseyeBore doesn't drill a hole but it is an intelligent idea of an attachment to your conventional hand drill which helps you drill perfect straight holes like a pro! Now the technology used here is pretty smart. The battery powered bullseyebore simply projects a set of 3 concentric laser rings on the wall or surface that you are drilling. The inner two rings are stationary and don't distort wheres the outer ring distorts and loses its concentricity thus indicating the extent of deflection and will remain so as long as you are drilling straight. As soon as you have shook from your straight path the outer ring distorts and thus give you a feedback of your path so that you can correct it by making the three circles appear concentric again. However another function of the outer laser ring is to measure the depth of hole as its diameter of projection will be reducing as the drill bit penetrates deeper. The Bullseyebore should be a really convenient and a 'must have' accessory in your toolkit since it can be used along with just any drill and on any orientation either walls or floors or roof. This thing is sure to get your job done damn easier, tidier and pretty economical too. Well the sad part is that this gizmo hasn't yet hit the stores and its manufacturers are still developing the tool for further improvement. |
