>>108445453Thee Advanced Inertial Reference Sphere(AIRS) of the Peacekeeper missile. a fluid-suspended gyrostabilized platform system, as opposed to one using a gimballed gyrostabilized platform. It consists of a beryllium sphere floating in fluid. Jet nozzles are used to stabilize the inertial platform as commanded from the sensors to increase accuracy. This design not only eliminates the problem of gimbal lock, but also makes it extremely accurate (drift less than 1.5×10−5 °/h), to the point that any further improvement would give a negligible benefit to the missile's CEP.

>>108447458Japan was a monster decades ago in the world of consumer electronics. They made a ton of extremely good looking stuff.
>>108445453I love well built yet simple HF receivers

>>108450192nice. do you also find a neve 88rs, audient asp8024 he or otherwise and a sony oxford aesthetically pleasing?
always thought those fanless fans look cool, regardless of how they actually perform
>>108445474by far the most aesthetic plane, shame it's vaporware
>>108450572i used to have the model down TMD4000. I always wished I'd had the 8000 or Sony DMX R100.Never took much notice to Neve or Audient.
>>108447327the op1 was a good deal at its original price but TE realized they could gouge their customers
>>108449109>megabassWhat a great idea!
>>108450731Absolutely beautiful design and engineering work but as you said as useless today as it was back then.
>>108449863why aren't the numbers in order? are they retarded?

>>108445474saw one irl, got to touch it and everything.physically cried, don't care if it's gay, I was overwhelmed by such an incredible beautiful feat of engineering. a glorious achievement to look back on, when men were men and were allowed to dream and spend $$ where it mattered. now it's all cowardly drones and ugly negro designed shitheaps.
>>108445453The Curta is awesome, I hope to buy one some day.>>108445474Man of taste.>>108448595I remember using Tek scopes. Those were older than me but (like the Blackbird) well designed with impressive performance.>>108450731>by far the most aesthetic plane,None plus ultra>shame it's vaporwareYou must be confusing it with SR-72, L-M abusing the memory of Kelly Johnson and his crew.>>108451040>Absolutely beautiful design and engineering work but as you said as useless today as it was back then.It was killed by politics but peak performance was impressive. It could have been upgraded.>I was piloting the SR-71 spy plane, the world's fastest jet, accompanied by Maj Walter Watson, the aircraft's reconnaissance systems officer (RSO). We had crossed into Libya and were approaching our final turn over the bleak desert landscape when Walter informed me that he was receiving missile launch signals. I quickly increased our speed, calculating the time it would take for the weapons-most likely SA-2 and SA-4 surface-to-air missiles capable of Mach 5 - to reach our altitude. I estimated that we could beat the rocket-powered missiles to the turn and stayed our course, betting our lives on the plane's performance.>Walt asks me for the third time, if I think the jet will get to the speed and altitude we want in time. I tell him yes.>Within seconds he tells me to 'push it up' and I firmly press both throttles against their stops.>The TDI now shows us Mach numbers, not only new to our experience but flat out scary.>After several agonizingly long seconds, we made the turn and blasted toward the Mediterranean. 'You might want to pull it back,' Walter suggested. It was then that I noticed I still had the throttles full forward. The plane was flying a mile every 1.6 seconds, well above our Mach 3.2 limit. It was the fastest we would ever fly. I pulled the throttles to idle just south of Sicily, but we still overran the refueling tanker awaiting us over Gibraltar.

>>108454254that looks awesome
>>108446284>>108446437dogshit 'le warmth' meme, got absolutely mogged by modern ICs>>108446752TE's design language is great but sad that all they make are gimmicky shit that doesnt add much for actual workflows but rather premium artist toysnot to mention throwing integrity away with R1 grifter shit>>108449129it's always the logo that is dogshit with lot of chink stuff
>>108455814and the end result is usually a soulless looping shit making racks unironically lame for me let alone the consoom aspect of it

>>108445474You made me check. There is a lot. Why is there a lot? Shame on you for getting me to look it up. And shame on me for looking it up. There's tags for specific planes getting dicked down.
>>108456016there is buran and the other one?
>>108446611>>108447362Flip screens, foldable phones, laptops. It always feels good to open one up. Nintendo did it really well
>>108456429?There is another Buran-class vehicle called Ptichka resting near the original Buran.If you're asking about the aircraft Mriya that transported the Buran, unfortunately she was destroyed by an airstrike. Ukraine wants to rebuild her using whatever parts they salvaged but it will cost untold amount of money because she was one of a kind and nobody has manufactured parts for her in 40 years.
>>108456440I still miss my RAZR, largely for that reason, and the satisfaction of slamming it shut to end calls.
>>108456016I stand corrected, I looked into it more. Buran was crushed to death in 2002 when the roof collapsed. I believe one of the shuttles in >>108456467 is a mostly completed copy and the other is a non-functional mockup.
>>108456472You can still end calls by folding your phone in half. You just won't be able to take calls anymore.

>>108452799I cried when I saw Cassini's last images. The damn thing started its life shortly after me which is why from a very young age my parents taught me all sorts of shit about engineering, space, and all throughout those years I kept up with the mission until the end.Say what you want about the guys movies but Nolan got it right in Interstellar.>We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt.
Excellent reference design wasted on a shit GPU
>>108445474For me it's Concorde.
It frustrates me that music instruments can still look neat and functional while anything else MUST look like fucking mystery meat average smartphone slop nowadays for some reason.
>>108459753this also seems to be the theme of this thread judging by the huge percentage of music instruments itt
>>108456003When I need to haul offroad, yeah. the rims are stock tho.
>>108458587I wish phone makes could start experimenting again. These days they are so far up Steve Jobs' back that we only get slabs in the West.>>108457330>This is literal orgasm!!!Yes! The model is old but they should embrace the fighter cockpit aesthetics and make a dual screen refresh with buttons and knobs all around both screens.
>>108445514A Russian similar, relying on far more mechanics.

>>108445453Calculators were once works of art.
>>108445508What is this? Sneakers (1992) has a similar setting and I wonder if it's referencing this.
>>108452799>>108458662literally you faggots
>>108462736it's a cray mainframe, as is the one in sneakers
>>108452940I've wanted one for decades. Pretty much given up on that though.
>>108462736It's a mainframe. When there was a computer museum near me I got to mess around with it. Was pretty fucking cool.

They dont have to appeal to masses.Guitar pedals are a thing where the makers go nuts with artistic input.

>>108468426>but if they looked like thisI think this style is known as "cassette futurism".
>>108464943lmao you are welcomeThough it's not silver/aluminum at all, titanium is a distinct shade of yellow blonde
>>108468722Is that what inspired the ipod click wheel?
>>108454254ABSOLUTE KINO
I have quite the like for ruggerized, self-contained and portable complex electronics.I'm an unemployed bum but one of my goals when I get a job is saving up some money, picking up an aluminium tool case and make a set of electronics lab machinery within.A big set of LiFePo4 batteries with the board for recharging and managing them, a variable power supply, a function generator and a hobbyist oscilloscope all contained in the same aluminium case. Saving up enough for that, building it and learning the stuff necesary for building it will take years though.>>108452940Dude I love those so much, I'm damn sure that if they were manufactured today they'd sell so well>>108448595I learned electronics with cheap and old tube-screen oscilloscopes but man, it hurts so much every time I see one in the trash or just collecting dust. Nowdays I wouldn't use them myself because digital ones exist but fuck, they are too gorgeous to see them slowly wither away.>>108454254holy based

>>108471037There have been quite a few microphones that look quite nice. Especially old ones.
>>108445453..
>>108445453.....
>>108471049Yes, i love old microphones and their looks.Especially old HAM- or CB-Radio desk microphones like this old Turner +2 (pic related)

>>108452940>The Curta is awesome, I hope to buy one some day.I bought two of these on fleamarket back in the nineties. The guy who sold them didn't know what he had so i got them for 20 D-Mark each. Both with box and manual.I'm so scared of breaking them, that i have never really used them.
>>108470966That is cool looking>>108471037>>108471045Saved. Never noticed how aesthetic some microphones are.
>>108469115Hard to tell where Jobs ripped it off from but it was used in ham radios for decades before the ipod, see for instance the main dial on this one: >>108454254
>>108445453We hit 150 the image limit. New one?>>108452799>a glorious achievement to look back on, when men were men and were allowed to dream and spend $$ where it mattered.And it didn't cost that much either. gary Powers was shot down in 1960 and 4 years later the Blackbird prototype took to the skies and another 4 years and it hammered routinely across enemy territories. They had the attitude to go with the altitude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg73GKm7GgI Also>Though I fly through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil. For I'm at 80,000ft and climbing.Today? Well, the F-35 is ugly as sin, steers like a cow at sea, the engine tends to self destruct from flaking, the cost got out of control a decade ago, it is more about financial engineering than aircraft engineering, and GAO is not impressed.>>108462736Correct. Check out the IMDB entry, the movie is full of references, some are very obscure.>>108469458>I have quite the like for ruggerized, self-contained and portable complex electronics.You might want to look at QMAC HF-90>I learned electronics with cheap and old tube-screen oscilloscopes but man, it hurts so much every time I see one in the trash or just collecting dust. Nowdays I wouldn't use them myself because digital ones exist but fuck, they are too gorgeous to see them slowly wither away.I suspect we are about the same age.>>108471037That simply must be inspired by tensegrity. It is so sad being out of images in this thread.
>>108471525>Saved. Never noticed how aesthetic some microphones are.Image search for "Soyuz Microphones" Especially the lollipop design ones look sooooo good. You will love them (fuck image limit).Microphones are pieces of art in every aspect.>I suspect we are about the same age.Do you guys remember the old Rohde und Schwarz Ozzies?>That simply must be inspired by tensegrity. It is so sad being out of images in this thread.Don't know if it really is inspired by this, but it's primarily made such to counter any vibrations that could disturb the audio.Most condensers like the Neumann are SUPER sensitive and literally pic up a bug walking on a concrete floor if you just crank them up enough.Dynamic microphones, such as handheld ones used on live stages are much less sensitive and have a built in vibration dampening.Same is true for radio and podcast microphones such as the Shure SM7b and many others. That's why you see these mics mounted with yokes only to the stand or mic arm.Other aesthetic mics to image search are the following ones:>Turner +3>Turner +3b>Turner Super SidekickThese have all the same casing but different capsules, internals and paintings>Astatic Silver EagleLollipop style mics in crhome and partly also with gold plated.There are countless iterations that were made the last 60 years or how old these are.But they look amazing and are collectibles now.
>>108472151>Rohde und Schwarz OzziesI remember the brand but not sure about the Ozzies. We mainly used HP stuff (plenty expensive) and Tek scopes in the lab. Their mainframes with uV plug-ins combined with XY mode was a perfec fit for our work in characterising discrete electronics components. This was of course a long time ago. >Don't know if it really is inspired by this, but it's primarily made such to counter any vibrations that could disturb the audio.No doubt, but the suspension structure reminds me how Skylon was suspended:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylon_(Festival_of_Britain)Essentially, the object is not connected directly by any stiff parts, only by springs and wires that also allow for some flexibility.
>>108445453All of this can be simulated and emulated, software defined. Stop holding onto the past.

>>108472277Irrelevant. This thread is about looks and aesthetics.
>>108467713How's the R-500
>>108463076you utter waste of oxygen
>>108468001The Countach was great but I liked the Diablo more.
>>108473034If we are talking about radio receivers, there is the legendary R-390/URR, a work of art.>>108473135Yes, a more comfortable drive, right?Bazinga!
>>108446380this shit is crazy when you think about this, there was no GPS.White men are brilliant.
>>108473563Insane design (19k parts and 6m manufacturing time). This kinda hurt the MX missile in the end since it had to wait for the AIRS to be delivered and then fitted. DARPA later went down the MEMS path (Microelectromechanical System), etching directly onto silicon to miniarize the sensor suite.
>>108472493Obsolete. Just program the sound. Software define. There's an algorithm for that oscillation.
>>108472810Software Define the look and aesthetic.
>>108474639Did the LLM just take a core dump in this thread?
>>108473034The R-500 is a nice little tuner, especially for the price, only cost me $30. I was mostly using it as a phono pre-amp and sold it recently when I upgraded to an Alva Duo.
