News@lemmy.world•At least 5 shows canceled after drones fell from the sky at Orlando holiday event
27·2 years agoDrones are controlled by varying the speed of the motors while helicopters are controlled by varying the pitch of the blades at various points in the rotation. If a motor fails on a drone then it’s lost, there is no way of controlling it. The helicopter rotor will spin while falling and the pilot can then mechanically control the pitch of the blades purely mechanically which gives some control.
The change of pitch in the helicopter rotor throughout the rotation can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0shLv2_Rtnc

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What reading style do you consider more tedious to read, A) short, concise, and precise, but using non-layperson vocabulary, B) using layperson vocabulary, but it's longer, drawn out, and not precise?
2·2 years agoIt sounds like a strange scenario. You can write a lot of text but not make it precise?
I’d say it’s better to have it short and precise. It gives you an opportunity to study the details and learn while the long text sounds like it could be more open to interpretation and confusion

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Speakers of non-English languages, what common mistakes do native speakers make that drive you crazy?
10·3 years agoIn Swedish people often confuse de/dem(they/them kind of) and I honestly don’t know exactly when to differentiate. You often learn to replace the word with another like vi/oss(we/us) to see if the sentence still sounds good and then you know the form you should use

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•How should one come up with an idea?
3·3 years agoStart with something specific, like a character or a setting and think about what it could be like. Sketch and get ideas on paper. It doesn’t have to be good but you have to start somewhere to learn what works and what doesn’t.
