To put up an oil rig, follow that clam...

[LizzyAston]

If it were possible to have an atom the size of a football, how much would its (approximate) mass be?

(Would its weight be so great and concentrated that it would travel to the center of the earth?)

[dontneed]

Who needs a gerbil when you can play with a clam.....

[Extra2004]

never seen a clam do that

[tabithaTNT]

cool cool

[ThompsonSeedless]

The medical application is probably more probable

[JohnDeBunkTest]

'It could be used to anchor oil rigs into seabeds.

'It could also be used to anchor offshore wind turbines into seabeds.

The world focus needs to change from oil to renewable energy sources.

[qwerty7546]

good point!

[3ichard]

well its to late now we've done to much damage to the earth...

[JohnDeBunkTest]

Just because we broke is tis no reason to shirk the idea of fixing things.

Some really polluted rivers are returning to life, so we should not underestimate nature, just give things a chance.

[Sappharos]

Good point.

[adrastea99]

Horrible idea

[zueq]

by the time this robotic clam is made, oil price will reach USD 1000 per Barral.

[adrastea99]

100 canadian dollars per barrel

[kahnicles]

good luck

[VmeEmeTme]

that was really wierd : O

[teemuruskeepaa]

'It could be used to anchor oil rigs into seabeds. Interesting!

[Clockworkforest]

Thank you for the voice over!

[benziel]

nice

[RarewareLover]

I think the deserve another 2 billion dollar grant

[ShadowKnight1870]

I wonder if it has any other uses?

[narcoleptus]

How about changing the signature tune?

[temporaryonesix]

I second that.

[hfhf2008]

Me too. Very annoying. I have to mute my laptop until the signature tune finishes and I stop the video playing before it starts again.

[mungbeanman]

Mmm, razor clams. Tasty AND educational.

[MeebleMeeble]

its all about technique, huh?

[nelli0t]

um just wondering ... but how would the clam get back out of that hole!!!!

[enderwigginsx]

are you kidding me...

look at the Science thats gonna destroy the world!!

the science behind making it EASIER to put up new OIL RIGS IN PRISTINE OCEANS...

yeah.. i'm proud of science, and the new discoveries it makes constantly.

just... not this time.

[redbeast2]

So what is the mechanism through which oil rigs destroy "pristine oceans"?

[mguse123]

sorry, but at 4 dollars a gallon for gas, more oil is a good thing. what do you expect to happen. start paying up to 5/6 dollars a gallon?

[Zoiros85]

hehe... well.. we pay 10.5 dollars a gallon here in Norway, and we are an oil exporting country. But i understand that people in poorer countries like the US have problems paying that much.

[mguse123]

zoiros85, i am suprised to hear that you are paying that much. if the US and other countries start drilling more, (+ nuclear,coal, solar, and wind) it will cost much less. its that simple.

[sh8oony]

haha

[Zoiros85]

sh8oony said: "haha"

haha what??

[sh8oony]

"poorer countries like the US have problems paying that much."

funny how america's face has changed over the years and how americans regard themselves (myself included)

[sh8oony]

just dont start any political commentary... this is the wrong forum for that

[Avalikia]

I guess you can't expect someone from Norway to be able to understand how big the US is - how far apart things are if you don't live in a big city, how far the average US citizen needs to drive on a daily basis, how much fuel it takes to get an airplane from one end of the country to the other, that sort of thing. You could argue that our cities shouldn't have been built in such a decentralized fashion, but that doesn't do us any good now.

[Paulginz]

On one hand, yes, unless you live in a big city you can't get anywhere or probably even survive in the US without a car.

On the other hand... it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Everyone has a car so states don't bother to develop public transport or the railway system.

[alex3914]

Response to enderwigginsx

They would do it anyway. lol!

Just without the trouble and oil spills which is good thing....

[ebokingLib]

good ish

[LizzyAston]

At what temperature does concrete melt?

Is a gamma-ray part light?

[GetMeThere1]

concrete is essentially stone, so, lava typically being about 1000C, that would be the melting temp of concrete.

gamma radiation is of FAR shorter wavelength than visible light: 10E-12 vs 10E-7

[LizzyAston]

thanks for the reply, but i wasnt meaning visible light - is there still a slight amount of light in gamma rays? i was thinking this because we are able to use special cameras to detect infra red.

[GetMeThere1]

It's all electromagnetic radiation. People like to give names to different parts of the spectrum. ANY PART of the spectrum referred to as "light" is far far different from anything referred to as "gamma." Anything called "light" is of longer wavelength than anything called microwaves, radiowaves, and xrays. All THOSE are longer than anything called "gamma rays."

[GetMeThere1]

Sorry, I temporarily lost my mind: radiowaves and microwaves are in fact longer wavelength than "light." But that doesn't change the fact that gamma radiation is MUCH shorter wavelenght than any kind of light.

for further info you should search "electromagnetic spectrum"

[singlespies]

wish i could do that

[Extreme01459]

haha lol

[catchyphrase92]

TOO SHORT!

[AirsoftSniper727]

awesome but all of the vids you make are waaaaaayyyyy to short

[punchedtoast]

Man that thing is weird.

[Pottzy123]

first? and those things taste really nice ^^
