Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Still a cool helmet. Would be fun to rock that on occasion, but as an everyday one, meh. And for $1300? Nope

 

Def has a flavor of badass imo. I would wear it on the short bus mocking all my helmet wearing pals

 

If I had the extra money....I'd rock it while riding my 3 year olds tricycle

 

"...what happened at Duhva power station and the busted turbine.
They were doing a test of the turbine overspeed protection system, and in short, the protection did not kick in. Conventional wisdom tells me that there should be a better way to test a protection system than to try and destroy the turbine and see if it feels like protecting itself, but that’s basically what they did.
The turbine has a governor valve which controls the amount of steam coming into the turbine In order to keep it running at the right speed (3000 rpm for our grid frequency) and then it has a main isolation valve to shut the steam off completely. The protections systems (of which there are 3 independent systems, and a dude with his finger on the emergency button) are supposed to close this main isolation valve in a fraction of a second when the turbine overspeeds.
So they get ready for the test, they dump a helluva lot of steam onto the turbine, speed starts going crazy, it went from 3000 RPM to 4500 RMP in ten seconds (they are generally only designed for 10 to 15% overspeed, all three protection systems should have kicked in by the time you get to 110%). Anyway, I don’t know why, but all three systems failed, and the dude with his finger on the manual trip button wasn’t at his post. So the result was a big bang, some fire and a lot of steam going where it shouldn’t go.
Scary thing is Duvha has a shared turbine hall. All six units are placed in one long straight stripe, with no missile shield between them. And if you look at the third pic you can see how big that shaft is, if that landed on another turbine it would have destroyed that too. They are very lucky they didn’t lose the entire station..."

 

That is INSANE! I cannot even comprehend the carnage!

 

The pic of the shrapneled roof is insane, holy cow.

 

Coolest WTF so far.

I once had a coworker test a steel mill furnace runaway protection system by letting the furnace run away; it failed too, but all that happened was the furnace roof collapsed.

 

Random.

 

This helmet would look proper if you drive one of the new Lexus models with the predator-mouth grille:

Me & the Mrs. watched that one night. Funny as hell in a WTF kind of way.
