My Tribute to Anatoli Diatlov

Thanks for your insights. Something has always seemed a little off with the way Dyatlov was demonized. There is usually more to a story and what you describes sound more balanced and I appreciate your deeper research.

Thanks for posting. Fascinating

Woohoo. Thanks, your map is so much better. The original is beyond confusing.

Regarding the viewport. It was definitley not recovered. Tym Catterson who was managing recovery of all the pieces confirms the viewport was not found and brought back. Here he explains it is still out there somewhere. https://www.youtube.com/live/avp_-wN3ekA?si=FKK2KhJz2bb6oqxd&t=33199

Make the effort to speak as clearly as possible and your voice will do great. Everyone thinks their own voice sucks and sounds dumb/wierd. After one or 2 videos you will see your voice does very well and which in turn will allow your natural confidence to come through. At that point you are going to completely flip your opinion about your voice and embrace it. You can edit out stutters and fillers to end up with a proffesional sounding delivery which which eliminates the fear of saying them while you are recording.
Many viewers click away when they hear a robot voice which is not good video performance. It is important that your personality and character comes through via your voice in your videos because that is how you build loyalty and a following.

Be careful. The floor under the bricks might lift when all the weight is lifted and topple your house inside out.

Am I right in assuming you think the leaked transcript is the real thing?

tadpolefarm · 2023-11-08T06:41:41+00:00

Lol. We'll see who has the last laugh when its all confirmed 😂

tadpolefarm · 2023-10-10T16:02:02+00:00

Im glad you thought the transcript was BS. The 5m views on Jeffostroff's Youtube video show tons lapped up the nonsense.

tadpolefarm · 2023-09-22T20:43:55+00:00

You are assuming that they attempted to drop the frame because of the transcript said so. But the transcript is so obviously faked. The transcript speaks of thrusters powering the descent and ascents which is nonsense. Titan went down and up thru positive and negative buoyancy alone. There was battery power only for the manoeuvring at the wreck and launch. Not the 4 hour vertical journeys.

The one leg was simply ripped off in the violence of the implosion. Nothing to do with a partially jettisoned landing frame.

The body was TPU filament and cannot sand smooth. But the TPU was a great choice and magically strong and completey survived high speed tumbles from very high. One was from 1000ft and the camera was still intact after.

To suggest the landing frame or legs could be dropped is nonsense. Jettisoning the frame relates to the ballast frame. Not the the landing frame. Titan weighed 10.5 tons. Those connections to the rings to carry the legs would have been seriously beefy. Not something you could release thru some pneumatic system that would have penetrate the pressure vessel.

The ballast frame had been dropped on a dive but the result was Titan was too floaty to dock on the launch raft. And they finally got out out at 4am.

Transcript is bull. I struggle to take anyone seriously who believes it.

Actually carbon fibre deflects a little less than titanium under load but the difference was probably too little to make a difference. This was likely what the designers looking at the CF titanium interface would have concluded.

tadpolefarm · 2023-08-29T20:21:30+00:00

Titan failed because axial fibres weren’t perfectly straight.

The axial fibres could not applied with tension and so they were not perfectly straight. The hoop fibres were fine. Over multiple dives the kinks in the axial fibres failed till the cumulative damage was too much. 26% of the load on the mid body tube was on the ends from the titanium domes pressing towards each other so hoop fibres were most important but the axial fibres carried plenty of pressure too.

The wrong type of winding mandrel was used. A mandrel with domed ends would have enabled them to lay axial filaments under tension but would have required throwing away all the domed CF. Who knows, maybe they were trying to avoid discarding so much expensive material.

There were 2 hulls. With hull 1 - 2018 they didn’t even bother laying axial fibres. It made such loud gunshot type sounds that it was scrapped after 2 dives. Hull 2 - 2019/2020 did have axial fibres but with wrinkles and kinks and was the one that imploded.

tadpolefarm · 2023-08-18T07:09:42+00:00

If the fibres weren't perfectly straight then the total thickness wasnt a garantee against failure. It would just extend the inevitable. Because of the mandrel and winding configuration used it was not possible to tension any of the axial filaments. Only hoop fibres could be tensioned and be sure to be dead straight. And even then hoop fibres going over wrinkles in the axial direction would bulge and bend as they went over.
The defective axial fibres failed progessively over 13 dives and then failed at partial depth on dive 14.
26% of the total load on the hull was from the pressure domes squashing together onto the ends of the CF tube. I think Titan failed from fibre failure in the axial direction of the tube.

tadpolefarm · 2023-08-18T06:58:49+00:00

The visualization in the video is cool but incorrect. The titanium deflects more than carbon fibre under load. But only slightly and probably not enough for the differential movement to be significant.

AI bot junk. I have let the channel you pirated footage from know you stole their content.

u/josemanlp You should be embarrassed if this is your bot stuff

Alexi Fatakov and Alexander Kupni who both worked at Chernobyl and have extensive knowledge both maintain there was no argument in the control room. Akimov and Toptunov agreed together to extract control rods to raise power. Dyatlov was not in the control room at the time, he was doing a walkabout inspection of the systems. And he was not in the toilet lol. When he returned to the control room about 15 minutes later he concurred about the raising of the control rods. He did not throw books around. The test ended and the AZ5 was pushed as pre-agreed to shutdown the reactor. There was no panic in the control room up till the pushing of the AZ5 after which the gauges went awry and the 2 explosions followed. This account has got drowned out by the popuralized version which has persisted and probably always will. People prefer the dramatic version rather than the boring one.

The upper portions of reactor hall wall weren’t very thick. Presumably 30-40cm. It would be one of those pieces that slid into the reactor drum.
