Cotton shirt coated with hydrophobic material. There's a video of a pair of shoes with the same coating, walking through a mud puddle and coming out pristine white.
#10: Looks like that ship lost its stabilizing system... Of course, passenger ships HAVE these systems. Military ships... nots'much... On those things, the weather would get so rough we'd be left to tie ourselves into the rack or a chair and wait it out. Nothing rolled around because EVERYTHING was tied down, bolted down, or welded in place; "secured for sea." That was my personal experience as a sailor on a Coast Guard cutter in the Bering Sea... Good times...
Back in Mar 2019, the Viking Sky was a new ship off the coast of Norway. Lube oil sloshed in her tanks uncovering the oil-level sensors = false "No Oil!" = automation shutting down all the engines = no stabilization.
tweeeet . . . . all hands stand by for heavy rolls as the ship is coming about . . . . . ah nothing like taking the fire hose to wash all the puke off the decks :-)
No 10 - Fun times in the North Atlantic.

ReplyDelete#3-cloth treated with hygroscopic materials. Will supposedly never get dirty but I'll bet it breathes like rubber or Saran Wrap. I'd never wear it.
ReplyDelete#3 Rustoleum makes a two part spray called NeverWet. You can spray it on just about anything and it'll repel water. https://www.neverwet.com/
ReplyDelete#6: Exhibit No. 674,958 as to "Why women live longer than . . ." - no, wait, WTF? Girl, you're ruining the average.
