With circular motion, you can spin threads, mill grain, move a wheel forward, drill holes, bring water upwards, generate electricity spinning turbines, create gravity, defeat gravity. It's just too OP

Also upgrade uranium to weapons grade.

Add a cam or rack and pinion and oh baby you got a stew goin.

Wait'll you hear about levers, wedges, incline planes, and screws!

(Websearch simple machines)

Nah thats not real. Most uranium enrichment involves turning it into a gas then doing diffusion.

It can be vicious tho

An engine lathe is one of the only standalone machine tools that is capable of recreating itself in its entirety.

And not only can it recreate itself, with the correct tooling setup it can recreate itself in a more precise, accurate manner than it itself is built.

OP?

Original Poster?
Old People?

Overpowered.

Oblate sPhereoid

Wait how

As an old-school Zangief main, I concur.

Overeducated Pinhead?

I will say conservation of angular momentum really feels like a cheat code sometimes. “This thing can’t be tipped because it’s spinning too fast”

Objectively Phantastic

I think this is the first time I've seen someone make a contraction out of "till."

ITT: OP reinvents the wheel.

centrifugal force xkcd

For my next trick, I shall reinvent fire

Not to be overly pedantic, but fire is naturally occurring. Humans only invented ways of utilizing it.

Physics used Angular momentum!

It's super effective!

can it do that indefinitely?

Well, you're wrong, but okay.

Historically, the two uranium enrichment methods that have operated on a commercial scale are gaseous diffusion and the gas centrifuge. Gaseous diffusion was the first commercial enrichment process, but it is energy-intensive and has been replaced by centrifuge technology in commercial use.[5] The last large commercial gaseous diffusion plant, the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in the United States, ceased enrichment operations in 2013.[22]

In the mid-2020s, commercial uranium enrichment is performed by gas centrifuge plants

Wait till OP discovers the lever.

Theoretically, it's possible to use circular motion to build a train to orbit. Literally, you could have a floating platform suspended above the Earth's surface and a train line running right up to the thing. One could have a stationary ring circling the entire planet that you could ride a train right up to. Hell, with sufficient mastery of circular motion, you could build a structure that allowed you to sail a boat to the Moon.

If you're going to quote orbital mechanics as to why this is impossible, you don't know as much about orbital mechanics as you think you do.

I'm partial to simply using "til" myself.

Not OP, and I'm not sure how the lathe itself does it. But it shouldn't be surprising that it's possible to create more precise tools from less precise tools. Otherwise it would be impossible for us to ever create tools more precise than our own hands and fingers.

Screws are just wandering inclined planes

Ahh, good times, back when i still did weed.

Maybe I should start again.

It's funny because I hear "wait'll" often as the predominant colloquialism to express "wait until." Must be a regional dialect thing.

Yeah that just sounds like rotation and inclination with extra steps.

I love pedantry. Just to kick it up a notch, I'd like to point out that people are a part of the natural world, therefore our technology is a part of nature. For example farms don't seem natural, but I think most people would agree that ants are natural. Some ant colonies engage in farming, and we accept that as a part of nature.

What if I just combine it with gas (petrol) instead?

Nuke speedrun any%

Spiral power!

In terms of precision? Not entirely, there are limits to true mechanical precision that is necessitated by lubrication for moving parts, running fits, and natural vibrations.

When combined with other systems (aka computers) you are able to build shit like ASML microchip lithography machines...

This sounds like something a character from Dr. Stone would be amazed about. XD

But yes, I agree.

He'll lift the world!

If you use Circular Motion with both fists perpendicular to your chest in a vertical orientation, with both fists maintaining a 180° offset from the other’s circle, you can look like an old-timey boxer

Smoke some herb and get ready for this, all motion is curved, there's no such thing as straight motion. The summation of movement can be said to be linear.

Nope, separation between different Uranium isotopes is achieved by centrifugation (of a gaseous form). Pretty much every time where you have something that has identical chemical/physical properties outside of a differing molecular weight, centrifugation is the way to go if you want to do it quantitatively.

Spiral power, you say?

Edit: it is Junji Ito's Uzumaki.

If you are male than you can make some sweet circular motion in the shower as well.

Junji ito or berserk?

gifs that you can hear

Wheels in the form circular rocks are also naturally occurring. Plenty of human "inventions" are actually just finding useful applications for existing stuff. Like penicillin from mold. And organic iPhones from the Apple tree.

Yeah that's after the first one was diffusion.also that's misinformation it can be different molecular weights and different compounds while still being centrifuged into different layers most of biology does this to separate the bio mass. It doesn't have to be similar it can be different , as long as the weight is different. Impurities can be removed this way as well.

After diffusion you get a mixture of the isotopes, which is useless by itself. You have then have to separate these very similar atoms by atomic weight, and for that you need centrifuges, because the only difference between those isotopes is mass (which causes diffences in a flight path in a curve, similarily to how GC/MS works), which means that any other separation method will not enrich the isotope you are looking for; U-235 and U-238 diffuse identically, or at least so very much identically that you can't make an industrial process out of the difference.

In the shower?

Nah, man. I do that to my wife as a power move when I step out of the shower.

No this is new technology I’m talking about the very beginning. Centrifugals for Uranium Enrichment is the new and current method. When they started out they used multiple diffusion chambers. Look at the tube alloys project and then the manhatten project which is what all this eventually became. It started with diffusion.

I thought everyone in this community was in the shower 24/7
