How the iPad ruined the lives of IT architects
For IT architects, one of the most important non-functional requirements to determine is the availability needs of a system's users. It's often expensive and risky adding availability features to an already deployed solution, so getting it right first time is important. In current times however, we're being asked to regularly …
100% availability?
100% availability?
I could be wrong, but I dont think even the "big boy clouds"™ quote 100% availability?
Certainly I remember most have had one outage or another over the last year or so. Doesnt take much to knock those numbers into the 90s.
Re: 100% availability?
Lots of service providers will give a contracted 100% SLA, but the penalty for it being breached is sometimes only a refund of the pro-rated service cost e.g. your £1m/yr cloud service is down an hour so you get £114.15 back.
Re: 100% availability?
This already exeists for numerous customers does it not.....online banking, ATMs, hospital systems, tax systems. If the front end is running 24 hours then why not the backend, auditing and reporting mechanisms?
Re: 100% availability?
This already exeists for numerous customers does it not.....online banking, ATMs, hospital systems, tax systems
What stone have you been living under? One word: RBS.
Re: 100% availability?
Can't tell you about the others, but online banking and ATMs certainly don't come with a 100% availability. There are maintenance windows and just general failure from time to time.
Users may *expect* 100% but the reality is very different. Highly available services (the stuff you don't want failing, ever) is only usually rated to what was previously the holy grail of "five 9's" (or 99.999%), which equates to about 5 minutes outage per year as I recall.
There's also the question of whether availability even means anything. It's a very crude tool to measure outage impact. A 30 minute outage on the ATM network is more costly to a bank at 5pm than 4am, but availaiblity stats will show the same figure.
Re: 100% availability?
*shrugs* The mystical cloud is the current in-thing among the masses. Got some sort of IT problem? Doesn't matter what it is, it can probably be made better by invoking the cloud.

Re: Oxymoron?
Oxymoron or lintard?
I find the whole "I'm smart because the OS I've chosen to use makes me smarter than people who use other OSes that I don't approve of" thing really rather tedious. Can you say confirmation bias?
RE: Confirmation bias
You'd better get used to that around here...
Re: Oxymoron?
The comment was badly put, but when someone says their ipad is more reliable than their kitchen appliances, I begin to roll my eyes and wonder about the speakers credentials. I haven't had a service failure from my tumble dryer since purchase, over 10 years ago. Given the relative youth of the ipad, I begin to think that the windows expert must be rather young and/or inexperienced. Then I generalise the experience, including all the other windows support staff I've met and come up with a correlation (not causation)-inspired generalisation that windows people are not really enterprise-ready. In contrast, *nix people I've met tend to be to work on enterprise and carrier-class systems, but not even carrier-class systems run for that long without needing attention.
It isn't necessarily a reflection on the author himself who may have just had a bad-example day, or been unlucky with his white goods, but when you speak publicly, your speech reflects on "your kind" of people. Identifying himself as a windows person, associates him with other windows people and other windows people with him. Tarred with the same brush, rightly or wrongly. It isn't fair, but generalisation is how we deal large numbers of things.
Re: Oxymoron?
Since the average bash n00b can script an average MSCE out of a job, I do actually agree that the learning curve of a preferred tool set might actually have some correlation to a those tool's user's intelligence. However, this simple measure should not be taken for scientific proof that admins who prefer MS products are brain dead. Naturally I would suggest seeing a doctor. After all, you'd believe him whether or not what he is saying actually true because he wears a white lab coat.
Whilst I agree that business users now expect services to be running 24*7 or more likely just when *they* are awake...the current trend in news reporting of network outages means that people are generally more aware that Twitter, Amazon, Blackberry and mobile networks are not 100% reliable and so that expectation has slightly lessened.
Also, even those Apple devices (iPads, iPhones) need software updates and so the explanation that the system needs an update is actually understood and appreciated by users rather than them demanding a non-critical system stay available whilst updating.
What's the problem?
It all depends on the end users making a business case - if they believe (and can show) that 24/7 availability of any system is necessary then it can be provided, at a cost. It is up to the bean-counters to decide whether the cost of having support available 24/7 plus the necessary resilient hardware and software environment is justified by the business need. If you are talking about a global online sales system, where the customer can give you money, then the cost of losing that for 24 hours is high. The real cost of failing to allow some obsessive marketing drone to check the latest usage stats before they go to bed at 2am is probably rather less. Maybe there is a place for some negotiation here.
This is nothing fundamentally new - the same principles applied when developing and supporting mainframe systems decades ago. What will it cost to provide a particular service level? How much is having (or not having) that service level worth to the business?
It's a simple balance...
...availability vs. cost.
There have been highly available and even un-interruptible services around, but you have to pay for them, and they don't come cheap. Nor do the staff to set them up and run them.
Microsoft probably have an HA offering now, but I expect that even they will charge a premium.
Segregating the function, so that you can put your information distribution systems on simple, small, cheap, and redundant servers in front of your actual service machines can help with the appearance of a service being available (as well as increasing the security), but if you truly want high availability, it's going to cost.
"My iPad is more robust than most of the appliances in my kitchen never mind an enterprise data centre"
I got that far before it became apparent this was written by someone who knows absolutely nothing about the contents of an enterprise datacentre, or kitchen appliances.
25 years...
When the author comes back in 25 years and tells me that his 2012 iPad is still working and has never broken down, then I'll believe that statement!
Heck, my mother was still using her Sunbeam electric hand mixer in 2010, which she got as a wedding present 45
years earlier!
I've certainly still got kitchen appliances in daily use that I bought when I got my first house, back on 1990... And they'´ve been bumped around, moved across continents, dropped several times, cleaned with abbrasive chemical detergents... But they are still going strong.
I made it as far as "For IT departments with staff that grew up with 9 to 5 working hours"...
Or indeed iThingies
I gather the author means 'physically robust', because even though some kitchen appliances may contain a microcontroller with its associated firmware, the most common cooking utensils still do not.
Now go and accidentally sit on a rackmount server, on an iPad and on an egg whisk. Two of these will break and be out of order for a while.
Not So !
In September, 1937
I bought my wife a new electric iron for eight and sixpence
She's still using it everyday and it's never needed repair

Re: Robust
"Now go and accidentally sit on a rackmount server, on an iPad and on an egg whisk. Two of these will break and be out of order for a while."
Your argument here is not exactly generic or all encompassing and really only works because you chose one of the most fragile of all kitchen utensils. Try "accidentally it on a rackmount server, on an iPad and on a rolling pin", Two of these will keep working without a hitch and it won't be the iPad.
In most cases the same applies for: wooden spook, knife, cooker, dishwasher, fridge, need I go on?
In terms of operating robustness I also disagree with the author and agree with many of the posters. My wife has a mixer that was passed on to her from her grandmother. It's built like a tank and will still be going long after any of the modern electronics items kicking around our house!
Re: Robust
"Now go an accidentally sit on your own fingers while trying to type an El Reg post"... as I can testify from experience my typing breaks down pretty quickly! Wooden spook anyone?
RE: "My iPad is more robust than most of the appliances....
Well, I doubt it is as robust as the Kenmore washing machine I recently replaced, after 40 years of service.
I seriously doubt that your iPad would even last 10!!!!
What a twat.
I'm with you Gavin
My iPad 2's been working away happily yet I've been through a microwave, two kettles and a toaster - all of similar age.
Can't speak for your average datacenter but I imagine, where kitchen appliances are simple, datacenters are complicated enough to be more likely to suffer a component failure of some description than my iPad.
Re: Robust
I admit it has a case and after a certain figure the height becomes irrelevant but it does still work. Even with a case I imagine my toaster would either break or try to kill me.
Re: RE: "My iPad is more robust than most of the appliances....
"What a twat. "
Now hang on, that's a bit unnecessary. A twit maybe...
"how do we learn to trust a face-less cloud service provider"
Why should a cloud provider be treated any differently to any other supplier? If the Architect is doing his job properly, the service will be properly scaled and agreed, SLAs in place, and penalties for failure.
The cloud is only face-less if you design it that way.
Another Microsoft advertorial?
>: the answer like it seems to be for everyone but the richest organisations will almost certainly be the cloud.
Just like when then only solution you have is a hammer, so every problem looks like a nail?
The correct solution is a business continuity plan, with properly performed risk analysis, to determine what your company needs, what the biggest risks to that are, and how likely those risks are to come to pass.
Based on that you can work out how much it costs to provide the protection you need, which of course will not be the same for each user and each department. I suggest that instead of simply waving your hands in the air and claiming that "our cloud" will solve everything for everyone, you take a look at how the professionals do it. Start with the UK-focused Business Continuity Institute (http://www.thebci.org/) or perhaps the more US-centric Disaster Recovery Institute (https://www.drii.org/) and their various publications and conferences.
Re: Another Microsoft advertorial?
"The correct solution is a business continuity plan"
A couple of months ago there was a power cut in our city centre - only lasted about five minutes. Almost all the shops closed crying "the tills won't work, we can't sell anything!!!" At the Post Office they were recording transactions in a paper notebook. The first transaction was taking the notebook out of stock.
Cost vs advantages
Pretty sure every IT department could offer near 100% uptime, with worldwide availability on a multitude of devices if they had enough staff and funding.
However, most don't. So, instead, they have to balance the perceived advantages of 24/7 access on consumer devices against their limited budgets. The reason Facebook can be always online? They have millions of servers and thousands of staff constantly adjusting, tweaking, upgrading, replacing and improving their systems. Most businesses question why you need a new server let alone a new data centre.
The consumerisation of business IT has made business IT professionals look slow or restrictive but they have a good reason to be - security. That iPad having access to all your financial details is a security risk. It might be fine for a consumer to have that, but a Fortune 500 company? Hmm...
Re: Cost vs advantages
Right. This stuff isn't magic no matter how mysterious it might appear to some. You wouldn't expect the phones to be answered 24x7 or the manufacturing lines to go three shifts without an investment in staff or gear, and IT isn't much different.
If it sounds cool and you think you want to be Always On! then call your staff and Get A Bid! because it shouldn't be free. There are costs to this that are being paid by those "consumer grade" companies like Facebook, and they are paying them because it's their bread and butter core business. Before your widget company makes a similar choice they need to decide how core this is, how global they are, and what IT is worth at 3:00am. "Just because you can doesn't mean you need to."
Re: "They have millions of servers and thousands of staff constantly"...
retweaking your privacy settings.
Oops, wrong thread.
Yet, with all those support people, Facebook is still not online 100% of the time, there have been failures.
Makes you step back and ponder that famous "cloud" wonderworld where everyone and his dog is offering to harbor your data.
Seems like it actually takes competence to maintain a cloud operation. Does every cloud provider have that competence ?
My iPad is more robust than most of the appliances in my kitchen
I doubt that. Most, if not all, of the appliances in my kitchen will still work after I deliver a swift kick from my size 9 boots. How well will your iPad fare? I'm available if you want to find out experimentally.
Re: My iPad is more robust than most of the appliances in my kitchen
How available? 100%?
re: boots
I once had my motorcycle engine block on a cooker; I want to try that one on his iPad
Re: My iPad is more robust than most of the appliances in my kitchen
What exactly is the definition of "robust" here?
Ability to survive being dunked in the sink, dropped on the floor, banged on the worktop to remove crumbs, scrubbed clean with wire-wool and cream cleaner?
Re: re: boots
Didn't you have the block inside the oven?
Same on you. That's how you change the main bearings on most old British bikes.
My ex used to moan like mad when i used her 'spotless' oven for main bearing changing. Sadly my 1969 Trident Crankcase won't fit in my current oven.
Same discussion when everybody had Windows PC's
A lot of downtime of devices, appliances, networks and clouds alike will not go away simply because human beings will not go away. The tablet only seems reliable because it's mass produced, with very predictable behaviour to test during development and production. We can say landlines or TV are reasonably reliable because of similar reasons. But IT is in the real world a more complex beast especially when customized to the needs of a business or customer. If you install another OS on the tablet or heavily tweak the thing, I can assure you it won't behave that predictable any more. See also various form of hardware and software certification like they need to define reliability in high-end industries or just any standardized configuration management.
Indeed some customers will expect from a real dynamic or complex system the same as from their iPad's but that's not a new problem. When everybody had a Windows PC, people thought all automation, installing and management on every scale in every business was just as easy as clicking on a wizard. But the architects survived that and they will survive the personal device bias.
A testing!
iPad vs Fryingpan.
iPad can have the first swing.
Let the games commence!
Re: A testing!
Having been hit in the face by an airborne iPad before (don't ask!) I'd rather have the egg whisk from earlier please...
Paris because she's used to foreign objects in her face.
The fact that staff want something
doesn't make it a legitimate business requirement.
I'd like a high floor office in the Shard and a private corporate jet. They'd undoubtedly boost my productivity a few percent but for some reason the logistics team don't feel compelled to provide them for me within their budget.
The fact that I can visit the Shard observation deck or buy flights online from a variety of vendors has yet to move them to meet my expectations.
The catering staff won't even bring a muay thai to my back garden when its sunny!
How dare business segments make decisions based on strategic objectives rather than to validate individual staff members.
Re: The fact that staff want something
I'd like a laptop that works, but apparently that's not in scope. Honestly, the keyboard makes my type like Officer Crabtree from Allo Allo some days.

Personally speaking, I've found that by simply visualising virtual models and embracing open-source interfaces for user-centric channels it's been easy to deliver end-to-end user experiences that redefine world-class collaborative availability.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
"Gavin Payne is a Microsoft Certified Architect who scopes, designs, implements and migrates mission critical data platforms. You can hear him share his knowledge and experiences at the "Iasa UK Architect Summit - Enabling Disruptive Innovation"
Who is it you work for Gavin? Because if this written perspective is the sum total of all of your "knowledge and experiences" then it looks to me that you've not got much of either and should move on. To put your head above the parapet and scribe this drivel - and for El Reg to publish it is embarassing and patronising to the professional IT populi.
If you came into my offices, sat with my Architects and suggested that we should... errr... hang on, what was it you said we should be doing with our mission critical data systems... oh yes... "what we need to be doing is blurring a solution's non-functional availability and reliability requirements"? Yes? Presumably by trying to sell a Microsoft cloud solution is it??? Well quite frankly you'd be laughed out of the offices, all the way down the boulevard, and out into the deep ocean.
Good luck with your conference.
Agree but it means slickly MANAGING EXPECTATIONS....
Anything from an MS architect always needs to be scrutinized for possible sales angles etc.
However, sometimes there are in-house EXPECTATIONS, i.e. requests from senior management-- the types who get their tech briefings from in-flight magazines...
Tech media frequently hypes the-emperors-new-clothes, presenting a host of new platform options that appear RISK FREE, with little regard to security or practical implementation. Sometimes you have to take executives aside and DELICATELY suggest that maybe they need to Curb their Enthusiasm a little...
A past example comes to mind. Senior executives managing billion dollar businesses wanted to use GoToMyPC and similar services to get access to their Desktops in order to see their spreadsheets, access mission critical in-house apps, and use Bloomberg etc. Corporate IT had long banned these. But I was being paid by the business not the tech side, and they wanted me to game-the-system.
It took a Herculean effort to point out some of the risks i.e. that their proprietary business models could be exposed etc... They hadn't thought about that, only about the added convenience of logging in at the weekend using an unknown computer belonging to their most recent conquest...
Reality check for lotuseaters
Full 24x7x365 at 99.5% means 43+ HOURS per YEAR with NO service .
They want/expect 99.9995, something like 40 mins/year. Electricity or running water like.
Taken us decades to get that degree of availability.
And how much investment??
Where is the money? where the techies?
Architects are fine, BUT then you have to actually build the thing, and then the TEAM of engineers,etc. get to do it.
The architects normally say it looked great on paper/scale model.
And then came PowerPoint.
And it looks beautiful.
But nobody listens to the bricklayers.
Re: Reality check for lotuseaters
Totally agree, but go back and read again. It looks like he realizes that only offering 99.5% looks bad so we should offer 24x7 and a good RTO rather than a specific uptime number. Which is a totally bogus faux-metric that the cloud vendors dreamed up. I'd rather get a solid schedule with an identified service window than some gob "blurring a solution's non-functional availability and reliability requirements" so that when the system inevitably goes down I can steer that away from business hours to a maintenance period after midnight.
Gavin, if you showed up in my office offering this pablum you'd face a short period of rude questioning followed a rather abrupt end to the meeting.
Re: Reality check for lotuseaters
You lost me at 24x7x365
Perhpas you were being metaphoric.
There are only approximately 52+5/208 weeks in a year, or does it mean 7 years. There are leap years.

Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Primary dealers in India bought unsold government debt at auctions for the third consecutive time this month in a sign the notes aren't attracting enough demand at yields the nation's central bank finds acceptable.
The finance ministry raised 150 billion rupees ($3 billion) selling securities due in 2017, 2022, 2027 and 2040, of which underwriters bought 1.49 billion rupees, according to a central bank statement today. Last month, the government increased its borrowing target for the six months through March by 32 percent. The government may exceed its fiscal deficit aim of 4.6 percent of gross domestic product, said K. Ramanathan, chief investment officer at ING Investment Management Pvt. in Mumbai.
"The increase in supplies has been the bane of the bond market ever since the second-half auction calendar was announced," said Mumbai-based Ramanathan. "There's little appetite among investors to add to their holdings, which is driving up yields."
The yield on the 7.80 percent note due April 2021 jumped 9 basis points today to 8.85 percent. The rate was the highest level for a benchmark 10-year bond since August 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Weather Overview for stalis
Stalis, a resort on the north coast of Greece's largest island, Crete, enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with long hot summers and warm to mild, rainy winters.
Summer in Stalis is baking hot with low humidity levels and seemingly endless sunshine: perfect. From May till October day time temperatures rise above 20°C. In May the average high temperature is already at 22°C, climbing to 26°C in June and peaking at a glorious 28°C in June and August. These high temperatures are moderated by a refreshing sea breeze and accompanied by a whopping twelve hours of brilliant sunshine each day. September is a lovely time to visit with similar temperatures to June but a warmer sea. By October the average high is back down to a pleasant 22°C. While the temperature in May and October is often very agreeable in the day, the evenings can call for extra layers with average night time lows of 14°C in May and 16°C in October. The sea is usually swim-able throughout these months, already at around 19°C in May. October also sees a slight increase in rainfall, though still only seeing around five days with rain in the month.
Spring and autumn are brief and mild affairs; the weather is better
suited to walking holidays. This is not really the point of Stalis though; it
is right next to the party resort of Malia and has its own helping of Irish
bars, English pubs and six euro deck chairs. However, many do prefer to visit
in March, April, October and early November to avoid the crowds of the summer
months. The smaller towns Mohos and Krassi are nestled in the mountains behind
Stalis and can provide more cultural distractions, and the rest of
Winter, from December to February, is mild but not suitable for sunbathing or even t-shirts. Daytime temperatures usually get up to around 14°C with night times getting down to around 8°C. It is also considerably wetter, with December seeing the most rain, and the sun is only reliable for around four hours a day.

After several clashes this past summer, Christian members of the Guantou church in Wenzhou, a city known as China's Jerusalem, saw the Chinese government remove the cross from atop their church. Church members were told by their government that if they resisted further, the whole building would be torn down.
Activists and academics believe this is part of a renewed Communist Party crackdown on faith that began in the eastern province of Zhejiang earlier this year.

The Income Implications of Rising U.S. International Liabilities
|December 2005 Volume 11, Number 12
|JEL classification: F32, F34
Authors: Matthew Higgins, Thomas Klitgaard, and CédricTille
Although the United States has seen its net liabilities surge in recent years, its investment income balance has remained positive—largely because U.S. firms operating abroad earn a higher rate of return than do foreign firms operating here. The continuing buildup in liabilities, however, should soon push the U.S. income balance below zero. In that event, net income flows will begin to boost the nation's current account deficit instead of reducing it.

Play On Theatre is looking for a new home, because they can no longer afford the rent in the Ix Building.
Earlier this week, the theater started a campaign to raise at least $20,000.
The Executive Director, Alex Citron, says it is really a theatre "for the community, by the community."
Frank Ix Properties says they fully support the theatre and have helped them out for months, but want to find a tenant who can pay the full market price.
Play On has so far raised $3,000.

Robert Covington, 76ers Nearly Finalize Agreement; Forward Likely Signing In D-League
Free agent forward Robert Covington and the Philadelphia 76ers progressed toward finalizing a multi-year contract this week, but a deal has deteriorated as the two sides failed to agree upon contract length, league sources told RealGM.
Without an NBA deal, Covington is expected to sign a contract in the NBA Development League on Thursday, where several organizations plan to monitor the 6-foot-9 forward. The 76ers had offered Covington their standard, four-year proposal, with high contract guarantees, and both sides couldn't agree to a shorter-term deal.
Covington was formally waived by the Houston Rockets over the weekend, despite being informed of a parting with the franchise early in October.
An undrafted prospect out of Tennessee State, Covington had a breakout season in the D-League a year ago, averaging 23.2 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.4 steals for Rio Grande Valley and winning several awards (All-Star Game MVP, All D-League First Team).
He averaged 2.3 points and 4.8 minutes in seven regular-season appearances for the Rockets.

A certified natural skincare from Tuscany, Italy.
bSoul skincare range promises to help our skin work better than it had. It focuses on the physiological normalisation of the skin, something that we have never heard of probably.
What we should know is that if we allow our skin to, it can function much more and better than we know; provided we stop piling synthetic products and chemicals onto our faces.

Oct. 22 (Bloomberg) -- European Union finance ministers made "real progress" in discussions on how to strengthen the region's banks, U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said.
"We've had a 10-hour meeting, but we've made real progress," Osborne told reporters today in Brussels. "We've come to important decisions on strengthening European banks."
"That's one part of the package and obviously there's more work to do," he said. "Britain will be keeping up the pressure over the next couple of days to get the comprehensive package and resolve the European crisis, the crisis in the euro zone, and make sure we get growth and jobs across the European continent."

Tornado-chasing stealth Batmobile set to invade killer vortices
A pair of intrepid 20-year-old Iowans have constructed a tornado-chasing vehicle that looks for all the world like a cross between a Stryker M1126 ICV, F-117 Nightwhawk, and a Ford E-350 van. Iowa Storm Chasing Network's 'Dorothy' tornado-chasing vehicle Armored, equipped, aerodynamically and aesthetically enhanced – Dorothy …
Tornado Rule #1
They're fickle. They can pick up a house and leave a baby behind. I would have hoped they had some windtunnel testing or will at least drive it into the path of tornado, run away in another vehicle and see what happens to it before staying in through a tornado. Too many people underestimate these storms.
What data is it they're interested in anyway.
Surely there's plenty of data out there, what is so specific and important it requires driving a truck into a Tornado to collect??
Re: Data
> Surely there's plenty of data out there
A neat summation of the Mediaeval attitude to the Renaissance there. Have you heard of science?
Re: Data
> Surely there's plenty of data out there
A neat summation of the Mediaeval attitude to the Renaissance there. Have you heard of science?
And have YOU heard of unmanned drones, wheeled or aerial?
Re: Data
Yes. They would all be ways of collecting more data. What's your point?
Are there any test results?
Air travelling over the bump of the vehicle has to go faster than air travelling beside the vehicle. The energy for that extra speed comes from reducing the pressure. That shape generates lift. If the vehicle stays on the ground, it is because of the weight of the armour, not the shape.
A more obvious shape would be some legs sticking out sideways to stop it tipping over and an a disk on top: flat on top and curved underneath. That would create down force from wind in any direction.
The only way I would drive either design is by remote control from the safety of a storm shelter.
Re: Are there any test results?
EF5s are very rare, and more common EF3 and less aren't capable of lifting/flipping a heavy vehicle that doesn't allow the wind to get under it.
Unless they're (un)lucky enough to hit the EF5 jackpot on their first outing, it will be "tested" on your garden variety weaker tornadoes first, and they'll have some empirical data on whether it is merely crazy or truly insane to drive that into the path of a EF4 or EF5.
As an Iowan, I'm proud of my fellow residents' ingenuity. I just hope I don't see it driving around town on a "mission"....we had a EF3 cut a path straight through the center of town about 7 years ago, so we're not supposed to be due for another in my lifetime!
Re: Are there any test results?
The friction component in a tornado also seems to give rise to lightning, so I guess a bit of high voltage test zapping won't go amiss either...
Re: Are there any test results?
I assume the construction is mainly metal, creating a good Faraday cage. That should withstand being zapped. Any sensors outside the cage would be in serious trouble, however.
Re: Are there any test results?
I see that old fallacy of "half Venturi shape" is still alive.
Go and read introduction chapter in Understanding Flight to see why this is mistaken.
With that colour and poor weather, they are more likely to be hit by another vehicle than a tornado. Do tornadoes actively avoid hi-viz yellow?
Hi-viz yellow??? Not that I'm aware of. But if they really want to test it, make look like singe-wide trailer. There's a reason trailer parks are called "tornado magnets".
Good luck keeping it on the ground if they get it inside one
04/27/2011 - An F5 rated tornado hit Smithville, AL.
Among the other havoc, a ford explorer that was parked a half mile away from the town's water tower was picked up by the tornado and thrown into the top (That's right, the top!) of the water tower. The vehicle was then thrown an additional few hundred feet.
More details here: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/hun/?n=franklintoral
Picture of truck (it's the red lump in the foreground), and the water tower it hit (waay in the background). BTW, the flat blue and gray thing in the picture under that was a tractor trailer that got tossed a quarter to half a mile in the storm.
So, um, good luck with that van fellows, you're gonna need it!
Re: Good luck keeping it on the ground if they get it inside one
The shields are there to stop wind getting under the vehicle and lifting it, they also have spikes that extend down into the ground to prevent slippage.
But still, I'd like to see proper test results, I linked to a Mythbusters test below which shows the vehicles surviving a wind test, but it is far far from actual hurricane conditions.
I think the dangers they face is from being hit by other debris rather than being lifted and thrown themselves.
Flip ...
Air pressure differentials are the reason for things being moved around by big winds. This can't be assayed too easily by eye (or what looks nice). It should be assayed by scaled wind tunnel tests. Driving this thing into a tornado without such tests is foolhardy at best and possibly tantamount to suicide.
While I applaud their willingness to die for science, it really is worthy of a Darwin Award.
...seeks twisters, data, and adrenaline
And more than likely some blood.
Vehicles like this have been on Mythbusters where they put 2 of them behind each wing of a plane and cracked the engines up to hurricane winds (IIRC they did 100-150mph winds).
They did survive, but I'd want a bit more thorough testing before I sat in one during a tornado. They have anchor spikes and the shielding is to provide downforce/prevent wind getting under the car to provide uplift. What they didn't test was impact from other debris, which I'd guess is a bigger problem.
It looks like the latest version of a vehicle that's been around for several years. It features on the reality show Stormchasers.
Indeed. In fact Stormchasers showed multiple iterations of two tornado-chase vehicles - Reed Timmer's Dominator (which started as a common-or-garden Ford Explorer with some extra window protection, but evolved into something similar to this vehicle); and Sean Casey's TIV, which was designed to film tornadoes (not F5's, obviously - many Stormchasers episodes feature Sean's team trying to find sustained tornadoes that aren't too vicious for the vehicle's capabilities) from the inside.
Casey did eventually get (IMAX) footage from inside a tornado. His film is out and has been shown in a number of IMAX theaters. I think in the last season of Stormchasers he was back at it, trying to get IMAX 3D film this time.
So: 1) nothing terribly new about this Iowan effort, and 2) this sort of vehicle, including particularly the ground plates, has been tested. I know the supergenius team of Reg commentators knows more than all the rest of the world put together, but really, guys, you could do just a little bit of research before complaining that the Iowan team hasn't done any.
Of course, Stormchasers is also a reminder that on-the-ground tornado research is very dangerous, even when it doesn't become hey-I'm-no-longer-on-the-ground research. There was plenty of footage of tornado-caused destruction, and a few episodes that consisted mostly of the principals helping out in tornado disasters. And Tim Samaras, one of the most cautious researchers featured on the show, was killed in a 2013 storm, along with a co-worker and Tim's son Paul.
(It also shows that in fact not all tornado chasers are men. Just the overwhelming majority of them. Of course no one in IT is familiar with that sort of gender disparity.)
Why is it always guys?
Because guys like Stuff. Ask Dave Barry.
Tough projectile
So if it does fly it would make a pretty hard damn bullet.
I wont be in its path, hopefully.
What is it with Americans
And massive cars?
I'd have thought something that looked like an upturned saucer would be the best shape - not just with edges as close to the ground as possible, but with the smallest frontal (and side) area presenting itself to the wind - whilst armour plates close to the ground will stop wind getting under, the bluff sides of a Ford Van present a large area for wind to push against, increasing the likelihood of disaster (Not to mention providing a larger and more perpendicular target for any debris to hit).
Something smaller, lighter, shorter and with air suspension would be the most intelligent thing - increase ride height to drive through tornado-hit areas, before dropping down to touch the ground for enduring a tornado head on. The technology is pretty widespread these days too...
If you wanted even more security, a Brabham "Fan Car" solution would help - what little air did get under could be sucked out through the top (but would have to run constantly through the tornado, and probably has a high probability of debris getting sucked in and destroying the fan anyway).
Even better again, smaller "not-flying" upturned saucers (remote controlled, loaded with enough batteries for a few hours driving and full of cameras) that could be loaded onto a truck, offloaded quickly near a twister and move up to investigate the twister whilst relaying info back to the mothership (ie truck) could potentially provide more telemetry, footage and understanding at smaller risk to personnel.
Re: What is it with Americans
It'll be fine unless a Trenco or a zwilnik's bomb gets under the leading edge...
Re: What is it with Americans
'It'll be fine unless a Trenco or a zwilnik's bomb gets under the leading edge...'
Well, you just cut in your 'Bergs and float away on the wind!
The Inverted saucer sounds the best bet for not developlng lift, combined with ground anchors it should give a fair level of security. Thhe problem with big storms is the power of some very local vortex effects can exceed the general wind speeds around and produce some impressive damage.
During the Oct '89 storm in the UK , near High Elms golf course in Kent, there was an area about 50 metres across where mature trees were blown flat in the centre of dense woods, the trees around were unaffected.
If something like that hit the car adrenalin will be the last thing to think about.
Re: Saucer
October '87, wasn't it?
Tunstall Forest in Suffolk was the same: looked like a giant's footsteps.
Re: Saucer
An inverted saucer sounds like an aerofoil waiting for an excuse to take off.
I always wonder at thing like this..
Why not simply buy a used Tank.. Pop the turret off it and put in place some ridiculous recording equipment and viewing dome.
Re: I always wonder at thing like this..
While I was thinking along similar lines, it struck me that a tank - though offering protection and likely too heavy to be blown along - is not going to cut it as a tornado chaser without sacrificing some of that weight for more speed.
Re: I always wonder at thing like this..
Simple, cost. Want a used Sherman, $310,000. What about a lightweight tank? Not cheap either. You can buy an E350 and outfit it cheaper.
Re: I always wonder at thing like this..
I highly doubt a tank, even with the turret removed so it looks less threatening, is street legal.
Re: I always wonder at thing like this..
Pretty sure tank tracks and pavement do not mix well & your local police may not take kindly on the attempt or your license's applicability in any case ;-)
Re: I always wonder at thing like this..
I like your way of thinking :D
Anti clamping?
Can I have some of those side tire protectors? try to clamp or tow my truck will you?
Dorothy has no spoilers, so she will feel the full upward Bernouilli force of the tornado.
Bloody Merican mutilation of English
Its "tyres" not "tires"
Tyres is wot goes on wheels.
Tires is the effect writing from a yank has on me.
Re: Bloody Merican mutilation of English
It's it's not its.
Version 2 will no doubt include
a large borer with an expanding bit so that they can anchor themselves a bit more firmly to the ground.
V1 will be a write off as it will probably take to the skies along with everything else in the path of the Tornado. my guestimation from having seen a Tornado lift a fully laden tanker (carry water) and toss it around as if it was a fly.
Not nearly as exciting...
Wouldn't some sort of RC camera/instrument drone be the thing to build today?
It could still be controlled from the Tornadomaster 9000 van for maximum social badassness, and emergency "oh, crap, it's headed straight for us" use.
Re: Not nearly as exciting...
> Wouldn't some sort of RC camera/instrument drone be the thing to build today?
Something light enough to be lifted by a couple of electric motors is going to get ripped to shreds before getting in camera range of a tornado.
What might work is adapting the plan from Twister (which is where Dorothy got her name, BTW) - a shedload of GoPros in armoured balls in a dustbin left in the the path of the tornado. They get picked up by the tornado, and a few might survive long enough to record video of the inside of a tornado before being taken out by a flying combine harvester.
Re: Not nearly as exciting...
IIRC, Dorothy was a little girl who liked singing and had a likkle dog called Toto. Which is where Twister got the name from.
I have a feeling we're not in Kansas any more.
Needs a ground-penetrating harpoon.
Fired down from the centre of the vehicle into the ground, barbed to prevent withdrawal, steel cable winched taught after firing. Basically an anchor. Single use of course because the whole point is that the harpoon is designed to be impossible to withdraw, so after the tornado has passed detatch it and leave it in the ground, and load up another ready for the next tornado.
An American tradition.
The 6000 SUX.
I'm going to chase a storm.
I may be gone for some time.
Well ...
... at the very least, this could improve the species. I'm sure the folks at the Darwin Awards will be monitoring this project.
As soon as I read what they were going to use it for
A voice ( which I think comes from a kamikaze pilot at the back of the room, to whom it has just been explained what his mission is, in "a child's garden of grass" ) spoke in my mind's ear.."you gotta be outta your fuckin mind(s)"
Will they also have Mr T hair and large amounts of gold chains ( to weigh them down ) around their necks ?

The New Fountain of Youth
Wrinkles are so 2012. The worldwide antiaging market is now focusing on brighter, more even-toned skin as the fountain of youth.
By Marisa Fox
Elure a skin-brightening line from this sun-drenched, technologically innovative country is a novel weapon against hyperpigmentation. It contains the compound Melanozyme, a trademarked enzyme derived from an edible tree fungus. Many products inhibit melanin production to prevent dark spots, but Melanozyme can also break up existing spots, says dermatologist Dr. Gregory Nikolaidis, founder of Westlake Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery in Austin, Texas. Other lightening agents, like prescription hydroquinone, take about a month to work, but this lotion provides visible results in as little as two weeks without irritation, according to Elure scientist Yoram Karmon. In fact, the AAD's Draelos is working on a research paper that shows Elure Advanced Skin Brightening Lotion is as effective as 4 percent hydroquinone the Rx lightener in the same amount of time.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. -- Hundreds of dollars in damages. That's how much a Cape Coral woman had to pay to get her car fixed after she accidentally ran over an uncovered storm drain. She wants the city to pay for it, but the city says no way.
"It was the biggest bang you had ever heard!" That's how Cape Coral reisdent Christina Consolino describes driving over this storm drain.
At the time, it was a gaping hope in the ground because the grate had fallen in. Her ten year old daughter was in the car.
"Everything, all the compartments opened up, glasses came flying everywhere, my daughters breakfast went flying..she had a headache!" she said.
Firefighters told her the tire was ready to blow. She had to have her car towed away. Fixing it cost her $280.00. She wants the city to pay her back, but a plea for help hit a dead end. "Right away, she said, its been denied, and your's will be too," she explained.
The city's risk management tells us:
"We investigated the citizen's claim. The City was unaware of a problem with the storm drain grate at this location. As soon as the City was noticed, the grate was replaced the same day. For a claim to be valid, the City must have been made aware of a problem and failed to take action within a reasonable time period."
But that doesn't settle well with Consolino. "I've lived here for quite a long time now, and nothing has ever happened. But then the first time something does happen? Like this, you would think we would be taken care of," she said.
She's determined to make her case heard and is not giving up. She is considering going before Cape Coral's city council. "I really think that people should stand up for themselves," she said.
Another man drove over the open storm drain right after her. The impact ripped out a section of his emergency break. He was able to hold it in his hand. But the city has not compensated him, either.

U.S. states are set to increase spending at the slowest pace since the recession ended five years ago, reflecting wariness about the recovery.
