Hmmmm....perhaps it's a ladder?

LOL..WELL DONE !!

Je Suis le King de la hard ones !!

[Karen W.]

yes it is an extension ladder to be more precise!

[Batroost]

How about these then?



What and Where are they?

 []

[neilep (OP)]

Wow !!..those are great Batroost and thanks for rejuvenating this thread.

I have to say I have no clue...........yet !!

..however...on a side note..it's nice to see the bats out already at night....it's great to see them whooshing by so silently !!.YAYYYYYYYY !!

[Batroost]

Yep. I've just been out for a walk with the Bat Detector (converts the bats ultrasound to audible frequencies) and picked-up and seen well over a dozen in half an hour.

[Seany]

Mehh.. I don't have a clue what they are.. Any hints []!

[Batroost]

You're looking at the tops and think about where the The Blue Glow might be coming from....

[Seany]

Ahh.. Nope, still stuck. []

[neilep (OP)]

They are tricky !!......what kind of size are the objects ?....golf ball sized ?..microwave oven sized ?..hippo sized ?

[Karen W.]

Are they color dyeing vat structures in India. LOL

[Seany]

*Laughs* [^]

[Batroost]

Nope (to the Indian dying) though that's inventive.

A bit more info - the 'tops' are about 30cm square, the sides are about 4m long.

There should be 193 of them but some have been taken out (by the thing in the top-middle of the right hand picture) which is why you can see the blue glow so clearly.

(I like the blue glow...)

Perhaps this is clearer from further away?

So, is the blue glow sky ?

Wow...me is even more confused and I have to say I was very impressed with the imagination of Karens guess !!

193 4 metre by 30cm containers ?...hmmmmmmm!!...

Is 193 prerequisite ? or can it be more or less ?

[Karen W.]

Please someone convert those numers into inhes could you..

And thanks It was the only thing I could think of!! LOLDoes that say anything about what useless information runs around in me wee brain..LOL..

[Batroost]

193 is what I'm familiar with, but some have more some have less (OK - I admit that's not being very helpful). []

30 cm ~ 1 foot, 4 metres ~12 feet

The pictures are actually taken under water and that's tied-up with the cause of the blue glow.

btw - on cartoons they usually show it as a green glow!

[Karen W.]

They look like some sort of injectors.. Is it part of an engine not a car though ...bus or train or something..LOL

they have all those little vent holes maybe for air circultion or maybe steam,.. but I see no rust, so maybe not steam.. hummmm is it something dangerous as it is glowing is it radio active or would that be red or something.. It looks like the inside of something a missle maybe or a weapon..oooh me just has no idea....LOL... oh well! What does a nuclear reacter look like... better go see LOL be back!

[Batroost]

as it is glowing is it radio active

Spot-on. It's called Cerenkov radiation and it's caused (for example) by high energy electrons tavelling in water. The radioactive beta particles (fast electrons) are actually travelling faster than the natural speed of light in water (< c) and this results in something a bit like an electromagnetic sonic-boom = Cerenkov radiaton.

What does a nuclear reacter look like

RUMBLED...

Picture on the left is looking down in to the Refuelling Pool of a Pressurised Water Reactor (Sizewell 'B' in Suffolk, UK). About half the core (made up of 193 fuel assemblies) has been removed so you can see down the sides of those that are left. Picture on right shows one of these fuel assemblies close-up and you can just make-out the individual fuel pins.

they have all those little vent holes

Yep. The core is about 3metres across and has a water flow of about 20tonnes per second through it when its running. It produces ~3500 MW, or the same amount of heat as 1 million electric kettles.

And from the oustide:

Well Done Karen!

[Karen W.]

Well..... I'll be dipped in in dog doo!!! LOL...Not in my wildest dreams but some odd deductions...LOL I was very close that doesn't happen often!! LOL LOL  Wholly crimany maybe I is getting smarter LOL......HEE HEE HEE.. that was interesting and great pictures by the way..We have a big Nueclear power plant here that is all shut down these days but is still housing all the nuclear stuff inside.. I always worry as we have a high cancer rate here in this county and always wonder about leakage birth defects etc...

[Seany]

*Gawps*.... Well done Karen! []

[Karen W.]

No kidding huh Seany.. LOL I am as shocked as you ..LOL me brain is growing smarter in the forum.. LOL I must learn more wonderful science ...LOL HEE HEE HEE!!!
