Smokescreen at the Pentagon

Oh, do tell then - was it a burst radiator?

I'm not certain, but it appears that it is consistent with a glycol based coolant hitting something hot, like fire, or a radiator, or a muffler, or a steel trailer shell, self ventilating from some opening in the back of that trailer. What it DOESN'T look like, is a smoke generator. The velocity is wrong, as is the "viscosity" of the smoke. Natural smoke tends to billow more, whereas from a smoke generator it's more directed, and stays together better.

You think?

Huh, a glycol based coolant hitting something hot?

Wrong velocity? What's the right velocity for two different makes of smoke machines. Are you assuming the Russian flavor is exactly the same as the US flavor?

Got any photos or videos of that glycol thing, 'cause as far as I can tell it looks exactly like a thermal smoke generator.

Except for the lack of a smoke generator. Where is it, again Yankee?

While driving on the highway my frost plug let go. The plume of steam went thirty feet up behind me despite the fact that a frost plug is located near the bottom of the engine block.

BTW, some who live in warmer climes may not know what a frost plug is, but its a safety device that is only supposed to let go if pressure from freezing coolant causes it. It prevents ice from cracking the block.

Ha! TSIG is right. They're not a relief valve. I've always called them "freeze out plugs" even though I've had more than one block freeze and crack on me. I had one let go on an old Cougar back in the mid 90's. Driving to work, all of a sudden I smelled antifreeze. Three seconds later my car filled up with white smoke lol.

Remember kids, don't let small children and pets near spilled antifreeze. It's poisonous but very sweet tasting (trust me, I know) and they'll drink it.
 
You think?

Yes, I think. I'm not able to zoom in, or look around the corner, to see what exactly is happening, and I'm not able to time travel yet, and I'm not able to physically examine the trailer in question, so it's my educated guess.

Huh, a glycol based coolant hitting something hot?

Yes, are there words in that sentence you don't understand Steve?

Wrong velocity?

Yes, again. Which word in that sentence is confusing?

What's the right velocity for two different makes of smoke machines.

I'm comparing the one in the video, that you claim is evidence. Secondly, the way really big smoke generators work, is essentially the same over all makes and models.

Are you assuming the Russian flavor is exactly the same as the US flavor?

They're using the same concept, same type of process, so yes, very similar. Are you assuming that's a Russian model, and not a Swiss model, or US model, sold to Russia?

Got any photos or videos of that glycol thing, 'cause as far as I can tell it looks exactly like a thermal smoke generator.

No. Nor do I much care to find anything. Are you an expert on thermal smoke generators?
 
JREF enlightenment is like military intelligence. An oxymoron.

As long as most of the other stuff you have presented has been shown to be wrong, I'll prove this one wrong*, even though most folks know the military intelligence quip is a joke.

Here's a couple (or so) data points.

Air Force, excerpt:
Officer Academic Education
60.0% of officers have advanced or professional degrees
48.4% have master's degree
9.9% have professional degrees
1.7% have doctorate degrees

Army officer advanced education:
THE EFFECT OF ADVANCED EDUCATION ON THE RETENTION AND PROMOTION OF ARMY OFFICERS



* Just because I can.
 
In other words, ignoring the evidence.

Move along people, all hope is lost on this one.

Hey, it's all just about yoootooob hits anyway. And maximum irritation delivery to critics.

One thing the whole no-plane thing is for sure not about: finding the Truth.

cjnewson88 has put 100 times the effort into this than the no-planers have. That's why they run away from his material.

ETA: I wonder why Steve doesn't want to hear his own name?
