    CF Trying to Make Best Use of Video Games

    The only problem with the crysis engine is that you need heavy resources (SLI systems) to make full use of it. Maybe the CF can coax LucasArts into letting them use their engine for Force Unleashed, the physics engine and particle engines are amazing!

    CF Trying to Make Best Use of Video Games

    They should use the unreal or crysis engines. If LucasArts was releasing Force Unleashed onto the PC, I would've suggested they used it, but apparently, PC's can't handle the game (Bunch of BS)

    What is the Montauk Monster?

    I just recently read an article by that had compelling evidence that it was just a decomposing Raccoon, sure it looks like it has a beak, but that is just the angle of the photo, if you see it from a front view, you can see that it isn't a beak, but it is wider, and has a hole where a nasal...

    Manitoba bus stabbing/ beheading

    People should be allowed to have concealed weapons w/ the appropriate permits. Something like this could have been stopped, or at least it could have been prevented from becoming so gruesome.

    TASER OPINIONS?

    I think that a Taser should only be used in a situation where they would use a firearm, which from all the stories I have read (nonlethal and lethal) doesn't seem to be the case. Also, enforce copious amounts of paper work to be filled out in triplicate if a taser is used. I think that would...

    What low lives

    What would possess a person to do something like this. Yeesh. and not to take away from the story, but I think by reproducing it in full you are voiding any protection under the Fair Dealing provision.

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    It won't give off toxic fumes if punctured, it will most likely erupt into flames :). Lithium is highly reactive with water, so the moisture in the air would react with it. However, the battery case would be as puncture proof as possible.

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    It will be based on Lithium Ion Polymer batteries, so there is no battery acid, plus they are light weight and have an excellent energy density to weight ratio. It is a portable system, so it goes with the soldiers, the power system will have a retractable cable that will plug into whatever...

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    I was going to use water because it's cheap, non toxic, easily replaced, and works pretty well as a working fluid. I mean, if you can use it to cool a PC, I think it can cool a body.

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    It will be both pluggable into a power system and battery powered, the pump I have lined up only uses 18W. My main worry about my system is how long it should last, that is to say, the amount and weight of the batteries which could be the heaviest part.

    You wouldn't happen to know how long they lasted?

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    OWDU, that's good information to know. However, with my idea, the only fluid (the working fluid) in use is water, so I don't think it would cause such a problem. However, I am wondering if the tubing used would be a problem, I will have to check into it.

    The CFS Alert Merged Thread

    I didn't hear the term, I just assumed it based on what I remember him saying he did. He was probably a supply tech though. Here is a pic of him http://www.thecoldtomorrow.com/images/Danny.jpg

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    I am betting that these vests use some sort of large non portable A/C like unit built into the Sea King, my idea is a portable one man, no ice pack, vest/shirt.

    Does the CF use Cooling Vests?

    The main reason I am asking all this is because I have come up with a new design for a cooling vest that would possibly work very well, the only problem is I don't have the money to develop the system right now, so I will be waiting until I am in the CF, I will be applying for LCIS Trade. I...

    The CFS Alert Merged Thread

    He's Retired from the Military now, I haven't talked to him about his career since I was really young, all I can remember is he used to drive trucks around a lot, possibly supplies? Not too sure, I will call him within the next few days to find out for sure, he could have been a Supply Tech or a...
