HowellingWulf Posted May 6, 2011 Share On the Roam DVD there was a special feature from the Specialized R&D department. The designer - can't remember his name - builds suspension links out of Lego before doing them on a computer. Time to go play with my Lego sets methinks...Remember that. Will have to watch it again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowellingWulf Posted May 6, 2011 Share I tried to get my kids interested in Lego, but they just weren't that keen, although we have used it to build some stuff for school projects. No yet, but it sometimes takes a while to change.I have to say that playing with Lego's from an early age had a big influence on my career choice in later years.

When I look at friends & family that I know played with lego/ mechano a lot, also seem to have been influenced as regard to their career choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think thats the age limit for playing with it "8- 28"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drongo Posted May 6, 2011 Share So, imagine that the tunnel through the moon is 20 feet (7 meters) in diameter. Down one side is a ladder. If you were to climb down the ladder, what you would find is that your weight decreases. Gravity is caused by objects attracting one another with their mass (see Question 232). As you descend into the tunnel, more and more of the moon's mass is above you, so it attracts you upward. Once you climbed down to the center of the moon you would be weightless. The mass of the moon is all around you and attracting you equally, so it all cancels out and you would feel weightless. If you were to actually leap into the tunnel and allow yourself to fall, you would accelerate toward the center to a very high speed. Then you would zoom through the center and start decelerating. You would eventually stop when you reached the tunnel's lip on the other side of the moon, and then you would start falling back down the tunnel in the other direction. You would oscillate back and forth like this forever. If you could do this on earth, one amazing effect would be the ease of travel. The diameter of the earth is about 12,700 kilometers (7,800 miles). If you drilled the tunnel straight through the center and could create a vacuum inside, anything you dropped into the tunnel would reach the other side of the planet in just 42 minutes!
