GE - Working Wonders Since...Whenever They Were Founded

GE continues to impress me. Well, I guess they do impress me. I don't really know much of what they do in the world and if I tried to act like I did, well hell, I'd be a complete liar, trying to make myself look good. And who would want that? Other than myself...no one.

But, I digress.

GE has this plan, for locomotives...who even uses that word anymore? That's so 1900's. Blah. So, GE has this plan, for trains, that is interesting. They have come up with this idea for something called "Dynamic Breaking." Fancy smancy right? Anywho - they plan on taking the energy that is created when a train stops and converting it into energy to run the train!

Brilliant!

Fuck...Toyota did that with a Prius 14 years ago. Dammit GE! I was behind you the whole way until I realized this. I guess I'll give you some points for wanting to apply this technology within trains.

I even had a cool video to show as an example...it shows different objects' masses, densities, and forces, ultimately showing the energy output upon contact with another surface.

Let's be blunt here. Honest if you will. I don't really know what any of this scientific knowhow is and how it works. I do understand the converting of energy concept and how a Prius works, but all this other stuff? Come on now.

Honestly? I like this video because I like a few simple things:
      A) Slow Motion
      B) Jiggly objects
      C) Things getting smashed

I'm a simpleton at heart and I love this video. Aside from it looking brilliant, the whole thing probably lasted, in real time, less than 30 seconds - probably under 15, but I'm going to say no more than 30 just to be safe.

Lining up the shot and timing it is impressive enough, let alone the clear picture quality.

Enough. Enjoy a cool video and learn a little something. I did when I watched it.
