  3.  @sky_professor3051  I can tell you he's one of the worst Aussies when it comes to pronouncing ANYTHING foreign correctly. It's a bloody embarrassment tbh....

  4. Well they're dedicated. But on flat ground, the standard duorail can hold something like 10 fold the weight. Engineering channels show the numbers on this and monorails come off as a bad joke.

  5. The nuclear powered thing WAS CORRECT and NOT going to spew radiation everywhere unless damaged internally. The first generation nuclear power plants ran pretty similar but weren't allowed to get that hot (except for the Chernobyl accident which was a steam explosion).

  6. The exhaust WASN'T radioactive. Nick knows NOTHING of nuclear technology to even assume it would be. This is exactly the same way that first generation nuclear power plants ran, just not allowed to get that hot (graphite rods).

  7. I knew there was an "n" on the end. This guy can't ever pronounce ANYTHING the way anyone else does.

  8. This guy can never pronounce ANYTHING correctly. Never bothers to see how anyone else says it before TOTALLY butchering anything not English and usually misses the end letter off words, even English words. I rarely watch because it screws up the videos for me. You can't build a channel when you can't say anything right and even screw English words up and upload it like that.

  9. WUNDERWAFFEN..... FFS. Dude you can't even SPELL it right on the screen. It's very obvious you NEVER watch DVDs or other channels to get the pronunciation right. Even botched von brauns name here. But then I have heard you leave the last letter off from ENGLISH words. Do you even LISTEN BACK to your audio before you upload? Or are you dyslexic in an audio sense or something. It's like almost MOST non English words get butchered. I know you research well but if you would PRONOUNCE properly you wouldn't get SUCH A HIGH dislike ratio. Honestly most good YouTubers get a 1000:1 ratio. Look at how bad yours is FFS. You could get it down to 1000:1 if you didn't BOTCH WORDS every SINGLE video, multiple times each video. It just really craps on the whole video with that.

  10. You REALLY DON'T get nuclear technology do you. It would run from thermal expansion, much the same as aircraft today. Dramatic heat would do it. Also, if nick thinks it was going to make everything radioactive he obviously has ZERO clue EITHER. Because this is much the same as first generation nuclear power plants. Realize that both yhe Americans AND the soviets later worked on nuclear powered aircraft engines. The Americans got to the point of getting individual components to work.

  11. TOTAL BS. This is the same way that first generation nuclear power plants ran. Nick obviously has zero idea of nuclear technology. The Americans and soviets BOTH worked on nuclear powered aircraft engines. The Americans had individual components of the engine working on their own.

  12. Considering some of the nonsensical crap he's said about nuclear powered stuff, I am not surprised by this obvious error. It's interesting to learn about these things. Even better when the host starts thinking harder...

  13. Except for the fact that he COMPLETELY MISSED THE MOST WELL KNOWN sightings of it. Thousands upon THOUSANDS saw it in Belgium in 1988 and the belgian air force had to have a press conference about it. It's more SPOOKY to have these fleeting sightings but SOMETHING DEFINITIVE like THOUSANDS OF people and some who videoed it is going to take the MYSTERY out of it.

  14. NO NO NO. He can't even say some English words with missing the last letter. You have THOUSANDS of DVDs and other videos saying wunderwaffen and this guy can't even SPELL it right on the screen, lel alone listen to others to see how it SHOULD BE said.... and he screwed up von brauns name as well.

  15. I can't believe you MISSED BELGIUM 1988.... THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS SAW IT and the Belgian air force head had to give a press conference.

  16. That's exactly what I was thinking. It'd blow SO MUCH FUEL to carry ITSELF.... then its actually carrying planes or rockets that CAN FLY THEMSELVES.

  17. There's one in Detroit too. The FUNNIEST cheapskate one I think was in Cleveland Ohio. It was an elevated CONCRETE rail with everything running ON TRUCK TIRES. 2 freewheeling either side of the rail to keep it on the rail, and one on top of the rail that was the drive wheel. Of course a similar thing on the front end as well. A total of 3 RAILCARS I believe. With a diesel engine rumbling away to run that one drive wheel. Worked great but it was as primitive as hell and quite a joke.

  18.  @jean-baptistepoquelin5116  so you're saying the BLADES are the bigger surface area the radars will pick up on? What planet ARE YOU ON?

  19. Well the nuclear thing was VERY REAL and actually described EXACTLY the old first generation nuclear power stations. It actually DOESN'T spew radiation into the sea unless it's internally damaged.

  20. That's because lab theory and tests come BEFORE the actual working plane.

  21. In VOLUME TERMS the monorail is a damn joke compared to duorail. They CAN NEVER even hold 1/10 of the weight rating. You go look at ENGINEERING channels talking about them.

  22. With the amount of vodka in russia in those days.... is it any surprise?

  23. I thought ramjets start around mach 3.5. Do you realize that Chernobyl was a STEAM explosion? Do you know about the nuclear powered aircraft engines both the Americans and soviets were working on? The Americans got to the point of getting individual components of the engine working on their own.

  24. ONLY A CALIFORNIAN BIG SHOT would sit there tell you that an ELEVATED rail system is safer in an earthquake than 2 rails flat on the ground....

  25. If you know ANYTHING about nuclear stuff it ACTUALLY WON'T SPEW radiation EVERYWHERE AT ALL. Unless it's damaged internally. You OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T SEEN anything about the nuclear powered aircraft the Americans AND soviets experimented with. The Americans had individual components of the engine working on their own.....

  27. We figured it out in 1987 or so. Aurora/TR3-B. I remember in the late 90s they let it slip that some GREAT asian woman scientist had OFFICIALLY discovered it. Anti gravity has been around for years. Theres even an experiment online I remember where you use thin copper wires and aluminum foil and thin wood and can MAKE something that uses anti gravity technology at home.

  28. Well I mean there ARE navy water to air missiles...

  29. You don't understand communist economics. The whole concept of cost is somewhat blurred under a command economy. Plus as someone said, the Soviet Union doesn't have a military industrial complex problem, it IS A military industrial complex.

  30. Very likely because it works well. You're talking about a guy who's SO CLUELESS on nuclear technology that he thinks that everywhere you go with this thing you'll leave fallout behind. Well not unless it has INTERNAL DAMAGE. Because it's basically the same as first generation nuclear power plants.

  31. You could say that about MANY aircraft.

  32.  Ian Wilson  NOOOO.... it's what happens when the damn thing blows out to like 8 TIMES the original cost. You seem to think money is LIMITLESS for stuff that will never BE USED in ACTUAL war.... like that stupid joint strike fighter thing that Canada, Australia and like a total of 7 countries were involved in. The project was SEVERAL TIMES the original cost and 7 years late BEFORE A PROTOTYPE was built. I think it turned out 12 years late or we may have even given up. There's a point where it's PEOPLE WASTING MONEY and the project CAN'T DELIVER what they promised. Just like the joint strike fighter that couldn't meet a WHOLE BUNCH of things it was originally claimed it would be able to do.

  33.  @bazurful  he even botches English words sometimes. I am surprised that he never bothers to hear how OTHER videos say it.

  34. I remember stuff in the late 90s early 2000s talking about this plane. Code Name Aurora.... 20 years....
