Cylindrical space station

Image by verysubmm
Really it’s my 360 degree Niagara Falls panorama converted to polar coordinates with the GIMP, but it reminds me of a painting commissioned to depict the inside of a city-sized cylindrical space station, sort of like Babylon 5, but with sunlight coming in one end.

No, a rainbow wouldn’t really look like that; it’d still be circular.

Inspired by those Little Prince type planetoids people are making, but easier since the source panorama doesn’t need to include the ground (i.e. directly down).

Buses in Hong Kong serve an important function—it transports people traveling long distances between remote areas and downtown. Although the metro (MTR) is fast, it is also very crowdy. The last thing you want after a day of work is stand inside a compressed train being pushed around.

Pictured is a bus terminal located in Central, the financial district in Hong Kong. It is situated at the ground level of Exchange Square, the building which also houses the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. A time lapse video of this area can be seen earlier in the stream [1].

This 360-degree panorama was stitched together using 15 captures on the 6D + 17-40 f/4L mounted on the Manfrotto 303SPH. Many people walked by as I was photographing this, but you do not really see them as this was shot with a relatively long exposure. I do this intentionally to hide the identity of the pedestrians.

These are obviously ground stone tools. As for what the two biconical stones are on the left, I have no idea. Maybe they had boat lines wrapped around them.

The piece at the top looks like it might be part of a pipe.

R — ^, in which P is the frictional Dmean effective pressure, d the diameter of cylinder m inches,s the stroke, and D the diameter of the drivers, both in thesame units. In one series of tests with a small engine it was tound thatwith a fixed cut-off the frictional M. E. P. was independent ofthe speed, but varied from 1.7 lbs. at 80 per cent, cut-off to 5.3lbs. at 25 per cent, cut-off. When it is remembered that inworking at the full power which is of interest in tonnage rating,cut-off varies inversely with (moderate) speeds, it follows thatthis variation with cut-off implies a variation in road servicewith speed. Again, the method assumes that losses are propor-tional to cylinder power, and it follows that two locomotiveswith the same size cylinders, but different weights on drivers,should have the same frictional loss.

am fast enough. The loss in pressure because of wire-drawing and condensation decreases the mean effective pressure fasterthan the mechanical gain due to the increase in piston speed. 74 ELECTRIC TRACTION FOR RAILWAY TRAINS A definite relation exists between the mean effective steam pressureand the piston speed, as a collection and tabulation of results from a greatnumber of indicator cards show. The general relation is exhibited in theaccompanying curve. The data for the curve were first obtained fromF. J. Cole, Mechanical Engineer of the American Locomotive CompanysEngineering Dept., Schenectady, N. Y. Mr. Cole states: ^This curve,showing the relation between the mean effective pressure and the pistonspeed, was plotted on a large scale, from many hundred indicator diagrams,and represents an average result, taken from different types of locomotivesunder various conditions of service. The data are for a wide-openthrottle, when presumably the cut-off was adjusted so that the locomotive

The curve represents the averagebest maximum mean effective pressure for different piston speeds underordinary conditions, with simple locomotives. There are, of course,limitations due to the capacity of the boiler, size of pipes, kind of valve .gear, and the builds of different locomotive companies. | The curve has been carefully checked by data from indicator cardstaken from Baldwin and Schenectady locomotives with 26-inch strokesfor passenger, and 28-, 30-, and 32-inch strokes, for freight locomotives. The relation exists between the mean effective pressure and thepiston speed, and there is no general relation between mean effectivesteam pressure and revolutions per minute, independent of the pistonstroke, as some early writers have thought. The locomotive has one point of cut-off for
