Dahir Insaat probably based every single one of its engineering video things on previous sim city gameplay. They have this really odd obsession with LETS BUILD EVERYTHING IN PRETTY CIRCULAR PATTERNS THAT MAKE NO SENSE IN REAL LIFE.


Quadcopter will forever hold a place in my heart, though.

[Dutrius]

Forget the quadcopter itself. I'm more interested in that extremely accurate recoil-less minigun that fires miniature tank shells that they've invented.

Question: let's assume them to be patent trappers, waiting for somebody to try and produce something similar so they can sue. Bit wouldn't they themselves be infringing on whomever holds the patent to quadcopters with this machine?

I'd wager that what they have wrote in patent looks drastically different from what they have put in video.

I'm quite sure noone will invent an automatic antitank catapult that throws tankshells at enemy armored vehicles.

Now they've made a barrel-less cannon that for some reason doesn't have terrible projectile velocity or accuracy issues.

It's static as well and can't point up, which would be a problem if they didn't have quadcopters.


What next? Submarine mounted flame throwers? Edit: I've just seen the end of the video.

It doesn't seem to be a catapult, instead it's firing shells by hitting the firing pin.
But it still doesn't make any sense at all.
1 - there's no barrel or firing chamber. Not only would it be inaccurate as all hell, it wouldn't work, because there's nothing to contain the propellant to make it, well, propel the round in the direction you want.
2 - what happens to the casing? It just... disappears, apparently.

It doesn't seem to be firing missiles, which would... almost make sense? Here shows it's pretty clearly a shell, rather than a missile.

Ninja'd by Dutrius, but yeah, that... just doesn't make sense as a weapon.

[Sergarr]

Well obviously it uses a one-time-use wizard's wand to produce an explosion at the point of impact. The shell's outer casing and all that tech stuff is just to hide the real magic that powers it (and the quadcopter as well).

[TempAcc]

The future is boxes filled with explosives.

It's worse now that they're patent-trapping urban hydroponics towers, since those are actually potentially useful.

That automated restaurant almost makes sense.  I am kinda interested in it as a concept at the very least, and wish someone would try something similar, to see how well it works in practice.  Not so sure of the plates coming from the ceiling though, pushing it up through the center of the table seems like it would be far more efficient than lowering it from the ceiling.  So outside of a few knitpicks that need ironing I think that could work.

The drive through grocery store.  Despite what the video making fun of it says, does not seem like it would be different isles for different types of items, as you see a reasonable variety in a single isle.  That said, the implementation is garbage.  Would be far better to just give you a screen interface for buying similar to an online marketplace, pick what you want, a machine picks the items from their storage location and delivers them on a conveyor to your car.  With a return slot for the fruit squeezer types that would take the item and supply another one once it's accounted for in the return.

And from there the videos take a swan dive off bat shit crazy land into an empty pool.

[Sonlirain]

Well admittedly some of their ideas look semi reasonable...

Still that looks something that belongs in CoD.
Also i think i know who covers DI expenses.
Dahir insaat is basically russian propaganda with the murdercopter destroying swathes of F-16's and several B2 and now the S.H.I.Vs are tearing through an Apache.

Replace 'machine' with 'employee' and this already exists. There are even services that skip going to the store entirely and bring your groceries to your doorstep.

I'm starting to consider going back to EvE Online. I don't know why.
