Man............ |O I wonder how much all of that costs? Pathetic MLB ball, cant even survive hitting a steel plate at Mach 1.3. |
| Refrigerator:
I wonder how much they'd gain if they used helium instead of nitrogen. |
| SilverSolder:
Awesome, the world is beautiful just for having crazy guys like this in it! :D Anyone know what that cool machine was, that they used for making the graphics on the control panel? |

Give or take if the guys are contracted or volunteer, and just how much material and machining cost went into it (did they volunteer their own machines, or contract out to a CNC house?). With 8M subscribers worth of YT bux and Patreon supporters, that sounds very plausible. I'm rather concerned that he never mentioned hydrotesting it. 750 PSI gas was the first and highest pressure it'd been brought up to? :scared: Tim |
