Not me, myself, but our lab has a 1000 kN tensile testing machine. That is the metric equivalent of the 220 kip tensile testing machine shown in this Slow Mo Guys video of a tensile test on a roughly 600 MPa rebar. What did I learn from their video? First, what we do is cool, and second, there is a unit out there called kip, and it’s not for measuring hotel capacity.
You’re definitely one of the cool kids, Stephan! Or at least a very cool nerd.
It does, however, make me wonder what kind of a deity Science is, that its followers seem to find it difficult to share its gospel without being profane.
I’m afraid I hardly noticed. Is it at the very end? At any rate, it’s an observation I can confirm from observations made elsewhere.
It wasn’t bad until the end. What particularly struck me was the “I bloody love science” comment. “Bloody” isn’t all that offensive here, but these are Brits….
