pipedreams Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 A sound-triggered camera captures the Delta IV Heavy launch of the NROL-37 satellite on June 11, 2016. The camera was placed at the launchpad prior to launch and survived, even though it was just several hundred feet from the rocket.

railfancwb Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Where I used to work we usually had a tall bottle of helium and another of nitrogen. Periodically I had to remind people to secure those in an upright position, as we had all the doorways we needed in that room. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With those we had some of the most deadly gasses known for "doping" the semiconductors in process. I worked there for 40 years and we never had a single mishap. Everyone that handled them in high pressure cylinders (some the size of a thermos bottle) appreciated that they were so deadly, you couldn't evacuate fast enough. So they were careful. We did have a siren that went off if the gas were detected. It simply meant this is the last thing you will hear before you die.

Huaco Kid Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I worked in a lab that had a halon fire suppression system On one of my first days, I was told, "That means the equipment is more valuable than you are." 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first started at UNIVAC the tube computers had air conditioning to keep them working. The people didn't deserve such luxurious treatment till many years later. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsine, phosphine, boron trichloride, phosphorus oxychloride, and everyone's favorite pyrophoric gas, 100% silane! Along with sulfuric, hydrofluoric, aqua regia... What a fun industry! (Truth be told, I very much enjoyed the six years I worked at National Semi, and likely would have stayed longer if they hadn't closed the plant in 1990. Learned a LOT working there, and it's served me well since.) -Pat 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
