BYU Prof says 9-11 was BushCo. plot!!!!!!!!!!!

you can use angle iron to focus a c-4 charge into a linear cutting device.

Sure, but you can't have, say, a block of C-4 whose "whole length is a shaped charge."

BS, you're part of the conspiracy.

If you knew even a little bit about explosives (that's all I know - a little bit), you'd know that's impossible. Look up "shaped charge" and you'll probably find all you need.

I have to question your documentation style for reference materials. And there is the fact that someone just confirmed that such materials exist, and that they have used them.

 

[carebear]

We're probably interpreting the original terms differently.

Generally I'd walk away and let ignorance be it's own punishment, but since it's a moderator I'll oblige them.

But next time please consider asking for more information, before dismissing.


"...
Cutting Charges

Cutting charges include linear-shaped charges, which have been available for several years, and the more recently introduced cutting tape.

Linear-Shaped Charges. These charges use high-velocity explosive energy to accelerate a v-shaped liner material (usually copper) into a high-velocity jet (Welch, 1995) that can penetrate and cut the steel. A linear-shaped charge can be housed in a specially manufactured ring-shaped container made to fit around the outside of a pile, or it can be used with a running tool and an articulated device for making an inside cut. When accurately positioned to a precisely calculated stand-off distance between the charge and the target, smooth cuts can be obtained. The stand-off distance is a function of the thickness of the steel.

There are several limitations to using linear-shaped charges:

*

If an external charge is used to cut a pile, there is no attenuation of the explosive energy afforded by the soil.
*

To pass by stabbing guides in the pile, an internal-shaped charge must be the articulated type.
*

If the thickness of the pile section is unknown (possible in older structures), if the pile is out of round, if the charge is not placed directly against the target, or if a stabbing guide is at the proposed cut elevation, a successful cut may not be obtained.
*

Shaped charges require long lead times (several weeks) to fabricate the containers and articulated devices and cost about four or five times more than bulk charges.
*

Divers can place the shaped charges, but safety and cost considerations must be taken in consideration.
*

Performance of a shaped charge depends on the presence of an air gap between the liner of the charge and the target (pile or caisson). Water infiltration between the charge and the pile greatly diminishes performance (Welch, 1995).

Future Explosive Cutting Techniques
Cutting Charges

A refinement of rigid, linear-shaped charges that may be useful in the future is explosive cutting tape. Explosive cutting tape is a flexible version of a linear-shaped charge. The explosive and the liner are extruded into a shaped charge housed in a flexible jacket that allows the tape to contact the pile and maintain a proper stand-off distance. Although the new type charge is flexible, variations in the shape and dimensions of the liner may cause problems, and the jacket may compress in the high ambient pressures of deeper water (more than 300 feet). Divers would be required to place the charges. According to the manufacturer, who prepared a committee presentation, explosive tape is not as efficient as linear-shaped charges and may not perform well in deep water."

someone just confirmed that such materials exist, and that they have used them.

No, he didn't. Read what he posted. What he discussed was entirely different.

The original description was:

a new type of demolishion shaped-charge sticky-tape that works very well. It's like the moulding on the side of a car, except the entire length is shaped charge, with a sticky surface.

Not what he said he used.

Anyway, I even said:

that's all I know - a little bit

 

[Lucky]

But you also informed me of how ignorant I am, first...

Heh, life's tough, even when I'm right I'm wrong.

A few miles back...

... some one said "Tenure is a wonderful thing, no?"

Yes. It's wonderful. If it were not for Tenure we would not be entertained by mouthy idiots from academe. Ward Churchill is a godsend. The latest dunce, John Daly, is another. I love these guys just as I loved Joycelyn Elders of Slickster administration fame. Remember her? They are comic relief. Long live their right to free speech.

The mythical Mormon 'planet' is Kolob.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled conspiracy thread.

Nice. Reference your knowledge from two anti-Mormon sites. Next we'll be seeing links to Nazi websites for information on what Jews believe.

Krenn stated it best at about page 3 or so. Read his information if you want the truth about what Mormons believe.

http://scriptures.lds.org/abr/3

Kolob is a star, which is "near unto the throne of God," and is apparently divinely referenced for various units of measurement and geography. (either spiritual or physical.)

http://scriptures.lds.org/moses/1 (verses 27-35)

there do appear to be other inhabited planets, but Kolob is not neccessarily host to any of them. And Whether or not any of them has become by now a a "specifically and entirely" mormon planet is not said.

 

[RomanKnight]

I've read reports, from both nazi Germany and communist Russia, of people in the cattle cars, on the way to the concentration/labour camps, respectively, saying: "They cannot do this!" Still in denial; the reality of the world around them was not proof enough. Well, "They" could do it. After reading this thread, I see that mentality not confined to THOSE tyrannical dictatorships.
Who will end up paying the butcher's bill for this one?

 

[Art Eatman]

But I don't care what Mormons believe!

What's important is what I believe--about overly BSive threads...
