It’s the elevator blood scene from the shining but with cummies
Can someone explain this to me ? Imagine I’m neither a native english speaker nor a revolving door engineer
Someone latched onto the phrase ‘hotel-masturbating’ and things turned into ‘how to bring a hotel (building) to climax.
but what was it supposed to mean initially ? people who masturbate in hotels ?
Until all the lights flicker in the lobby
OK but is this actually a thing that happens? Can the door motor feed back into the grid, or are there safeguards against that?
As a prospective electrical engineer, i sure hope there’s a safeguard against that, since i believe it would be quite simple and cheap to include. If you spin it fast enough you might overload and fry it though, even if it is there.
Would it be possible to put the energy generated back into the motor to make it easier to spin it faster? Maybe use some capacitors to have it switch between generator and motor mode on a repeating cycle?
It’s definitely possible, but I’m having a hard time trying to justify it. The amount of power a motor like this would draw i very low, so a few percentage points here or there doesn’t matter. The complexity of the circuit can quickly become fairly complex with something like this and i doubt the extra manufacturing costs would be worth it. Especially not for the seller, since they could easily (and probably do) just write in the warranty or whatever to not spin it excessively.
Fellas, there’s no point arguing with the flight attendants about wireless signal safety. Just smile and lie that you’ve switched it to airplane mode.
Yea, they just have to enforce it, not make sensible rules. Just let them do their jobs in peace and go petition the relevant aviation authorities if it bothers you that much.
Nah, fuck that. Anarchy forever. People should break pointless rules. But they should also lie about it when it’s a hill this pointless to die on.
Oh no I agree, feel free to break that rule, just don’t make it the flight staff’s problem.
