1oz. TUNGSTEN Shotgun Slug - 🦖 Dinosaur Penetrator

We have another design by Brian to test out. Many viewers have asked us to shoot fishing weights and Brian really came through by using expensive tungsten weights. I discuss all the potential problems we might encounter and how I have to make careful considerations just to load them. It's too easy for ME to screw up someone's hard work with a bad recipe!

fun fact: the vast majority of the power grid is steam powered, so it is _in fact_ a partially steam powered camera.

[@taofledermaus]

At my last job we had a steam turbine air compressor that did the same work as about 12 Sullair 400 HP electric compressors. It was a pain to keep it running at times but was SO much more cost effective to run that thing.

@@taofledermaus i worked on a natural gas power plant with two gas turbines and a steam turbine. the two natural gas jet engines produced 300MW and hot exhaust gas. the hot exhaust produced three tiers of steam in the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) (almost like a muffler) before the stacks. low pressure, intermediate pressure, and high pressure. the low pressure went into the steam turbine, then back to the intermediate pressure rack in the HRSG, then back to the steam generator, back to the high pressure rack, back to the steam generator, then into the vacuum pipe under the steam generator that went into the condensers. power is generated by the difference of pressure. on the high pressure side it was 1800 psi, on the vacuum side it was -30 psi. that's where the power is at. water expands by volume approx 1700 times by volume when boiled. this is why thermal generators are by far the most efficient way to produce power in human history.

Tungsten, ”heavy stone” in swedish, coined by swedish scientist C W Scheele. And, as i wrote in a reply earlier, sabot is french for wooden shoe, clog. Sabotage comes from sabot, workers throwing their clogs into machinery in an effort to prevent machines replacing workers.

That steel backer is genius not only because it stops the core from busting through the wad due to inertia, it also adds some weight to the back of the slug which helps with stability. We even saw that the cork stabilizing tail wasn't necessary. Brian has a winner here!

[@taofledermaus]

I'm sure glad that worked. There wasn't even a slight bulge in the disk. I probably could have loaded these hotter. Luckily he sent 10 more similar to this.
