    The 1963 Černý Důl – Kunčice nad Labem aerial ropeway is over 8 km (5 mi) long, over 30 m high in places and carries 135 tons of limestone every hour from a quarry to the nearest train station. Its 120kW 3-phase synchronous motor requires power for a few minutes at the start and end of each day when most of the 800kg-capacity trolleys are empty, and spends most of the shift generating mains electricity and acting as a speed governor. Unlike the EV, it is fully autonomous most of the way, only 5 people are required to operate it including loading and unloading. The quarry will continue operation as long as it pays off, then the ropeway will be scrapped (projected 2033). A dude illegally rode the way up on it somewhat recently.
















  • Someone should make a qBittorrent plugin that adjusts a torrent’s speed limit continuously to draw shapes on the other peer’s speed chart for one-on-one transfers. Ideally, so that the curve peak is your bandwidth and the area under the curve is the total data volume of the transfer. I would totally waste half of my bandwidth for a chance of amusing some leecher. (The other half can in the meantime be used for torrents with larger swarms)
