I play a lot of battlefield 2 and ace combat, and i've always wanted to know how it's possible for another plane to detect when I'm targeting them w/ heat-seeking missiles (air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles)? I assume they have various sensors all over the plane, but what exactly do these sensors pick up when my targeting computer is in the process of locking on to them?
Personally I think it's a weird thing and I wouldn't want to see it but I hear from others who have seen it that it's really interesting.
The exhibit is so worth the money. I saw it in Boston, the cadavers are not encased in resin. They infuse the tissue with a plastic material which allows them to manipulate the body parts with great precision. Imagine removing everything from the body except the circulatory system, but maintain the original form. The part that I found most interesting was the diseased organs. Normal lung, smokers lung, cancer lung, coal miners lung - all side by side. What a knee or hip replacement looks like if you took the whole leg and cut in half along the vertical. It's fascinating. It's not gross or bloody in anyway, at least I didn't think so. I also disagree regarding the audio. First off it's only $5, less then the cost of a beer at a baseball game. There is information on the audio that isn't in the written descriptions, although some of it is the same. It also enables you to move quicker if you desire and still get all the info. If you friends don't want to go - screw em - go by yourself.
The most common way is with a threaded connection. Check the link below. You may have to use a combination of fittings to get from one size to the other.
