Author Topic: POV of climbing a 1,768 foot high transmission tower.  (Read 3644 times)




imagine this on an oculus rift



From that video I ended up at a video on prehistoric animals, from there a video on human evolution. Talked about crazy stuff which could happen and apparently the future humans will be taller, weaker, bald or less hairy, and have big eyes or become fat blobs.  Also one of those crazy tans-humanist things about putting our minds into machines and where privacy is thing of the past and we basically become the borg.

It's that weird part of youtube, it can mess someone up, man.

as soon as the oculus rift was mentioned i started looking up videos and now i can't stop

thank you

It got progressively worse the higher he got.

Would you guys climb that high for ten million dollars?

Holy stuff, it's an image on a screen.

I don't understand people sometimes.
Oh here's an image of a man being flattened by a bed of spikes

If you saw that would you cringe or would you not react at all because its an image?

Oh look a picture of a CUTE CAT DAAAAAAAAAAAW

If you saw that you would react or would you be a HEARTLESS MONSTER MAN CHILD

Would you guys climb that high for ten million dollars?
if I was on a safety harness and guaranteed not to suffer severe bodily harm, then hell yes.

Would it be too expensive to have the elevatus extend up all the way?

imagine dangling from a rope from the top

Probably.
To fit a lift in that could hold two people, the top would likely have to be much wider than it is already.
Which would be a lot more material in building the tower.
And while I don't know the science behind these towers, I imagine there's a perfectly good reason why they are thin at the top.

Also, you'd need space for the lift mechanism at the top, and the top would have to take the strain of pulling up the lift. And as the top is the smallest part, it's weaker too.

And if there was a malfunction with the lift at the top, it would probably be much much more difficult to get people up to fix it.
