minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 days agoYeah multiply the weight of 1/2 mile of fiber by 20 to 50 tangled strands and try to drag it.
minus-squareSchneemann@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 days agoIt’s not even just 1/2 mile. I read an article recently that 15km spools are already in use and 20km spools are actively being tested.
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 days agoIs the tensile strength anywhere close enough to reel it back? I assumed the spool is carried by the drone, not dragged from the source. It’s a really interesting/terrifying technology. But it’s gonna a be a mess to clean it up.
minus-square0x0@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoTensile strenghth is definitely enough. Ive used fiber to tow vehicles before in a pinch. A single strand takes a surprisingly higher amount of force to break than one would expect. Good luck pulling a window pane in two…
