Have you ever thought why trains blow their horns so often and so loudly? The truth is that they have to. And the main reason for that is safety. Locomotive engineers are required to honk every now and then, which is written down in the regulations called the "Final Rule on the Use of Locomotive Horns." So, as you can see from the name, all this honking business is pretty strict and obliges trains to make four blasts approximately 20 seconds before they reach a crossing. But that's not all! Trains whistles and horns are an effective method of communication! There is a whole system of locomotive horn signals, where different sound combinations mean totally different things!

Why trains can't just stop 4:07
Why trains have problems with going uphill 5:24 #trains #railroad #brightside SUMMARY:
– If you hear a number of short whistles, it means that the engineer is trying to attract attention to the moving train.
– One long whistle-like sound can be heard when the train is coming to a halt, and the engineer applies the air brakes. – Two long honks mean that the train has released the brakes and is ready to continue its journey. – Three short whistles made by an unmoving train mean that the locomotive is about to move backward. – One long whistle followed by a short one means that the train is nearing some equipment or people working on or near the track. – The signal you probably hear more often than others is two long whistles followed by one short and another long whistle. Trains have to honk this way every time they approach a grade crossing, which is a place where a railroad track and a road or two railroad tracks cross at the same level.
– Florida once tried to ban locomotive horns. However, peace and quiet didn't last long. After the number of accidents at grade crossings had almost doubled, the ban was lifted. – Any heavy object moving at high speed can actually stop pretty fast. – The friction between the two is twice lower than the friction between a car's rubber tires and a road covered with asphalt.
– But besides being not very good at braking, trains also have big problems with going uphill! – We, humans, can deal with super-steep inclines of around 80 degrees! But for high-speed trains, the maximum incline they can climb is only 2.5 to 4 degrees, while freight trains can't make it if the incline is more than 1.5 degrees. – And still, some trains manage to climb not very steep hills with the help of several locomotives pulling them. – After helping the struggling train to travel up, helper locomotives return back to the bottom of the hill to wait for the next train that needs assistance. – On the other hand, any unfavorable conditions, such as rain, snow, or fallen leaves on the track, can prevent a train from going up a steep hill, even with the help of additional engines!

More Why Trains Blow Their Horns So Much Videos

Fastening your seatbelt while in a car is something you learn even without knowing the rest of the road traffic regulations. But have you ever wondered why buses don’t have seatbelts at all? It seems only natural that a vehicle that carries so much more people than a car should have seatbelts, but buses have none — not even school buses. And how can they be safer than cars then? Speaking about safety, have you ever thought why buses stop and open their doors at railroad tracks? It’s actually a must for any vehicle to stop at a designated point before railroad tracks and check if there’s a train coming. For a bus driver, it’s also important to open the doors. But why? Well, let’s find out the answers to these questions and more! Other videos you might like:

Why are bus steering wheels almost parallel to the ground? 7:26
Why don’t buses have a more aerodynamic shape? 8:11 #buses #safety #brightside SUMMARY:
– In case of emergency, passengers need to get off a bus as fast as possible. With seatbelts on, they’ll waste precious time on unbuckling them.
– Like any other public transport, buses have a schedule to meet, and in big cities, traffic jams aren’t rare. So to reduce delays caused by heavy traffic, dedicated bus lanes were introduced.
– When a bus has already closed its doors and moved a few feet away from the stop, halting it again creates difficulties for the rest of the vehicles on the road. – There’s a mechanism that opens and closes the driver’s door from the outside. The button that activates it is usually hidden and located under the door.
– Buses are heavy, and it takes a really serious impact to stop them in their tracks. They’re also long, so even if a bus crashes into a brick wall, passengers will fall, but no one will probably get seriously hurt.
– Public transport depots need a lot of land, and land in big cities is costly. So when a transport company buys a turf to park its vehicles, it normally chooses a piece of land that’s relatively cheap. – When a bus approaches its next stop, the GPS sends a signal to the display, and it changes the name of the stop. – The steering wheel is connected directly to the wheels of the vehicle with a rod. In a car, the front wheels are further ahead of the driver, so the rod goes smoothly back and up to the steering wheel.
– Aerodynamics allows vehicles to move faster with less opposing force of the air. It’s fine with transport that’s made to be fast, but buses aren’t about speed; they’re more about safety. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Buses Don’t Have Seatbelts Videos

Feeling tired and weak? Perhaps you were buried in your workload and didn’t notice the time. You look at the clock and what?!? It’s 4 hours passed your lunchtime! And you remember that you haven’t eaten anything since last night because you were too tired to make anything and just went to bed. You make the excuse to yourself that you’re on a diet anyway, and this is a good way to accelerate it. Stop right there. The reality is, it’s a big NO! Intermittent fasting, low carbohydrates, water therapy, and keto: these are just to name a few of the most trendy diet plans right now. Apart from a million ways to go about it, there are a lot of reasons why a person would restrict their eating habits. The most common ones would be to look good and feel good. For whatever the reason, deciding to suddenly starve yourself will never be worth it. Even just for a day. And here’s why. Other videos you might like:

– Once you take that first bite, different body parts start to play their role in digesting the food. It starts with the saliva in your mouth, which helps with chewing and swallowing.

Here’s where our pancreas, liver and gallbladder will be put in action too. – Our colon is a 5 to 6 foot-long tube of muscles where water is absorbed, and waste and leftover food will be stored after being digested until the time that it exits our body through the rectum in the form of stool.
– Once your stomach becomes empty, it releases a hormone called ghrelin. This is the hormone that tells your body that you’re hungry and that you need to eat. – Another hormone, which is equally important to keep in mind, is leptin. This one is the total opposite of the first.
– Having low blood sugar will make you feel dizzy and light headed, while having a high level of blood sugar may cause you to have headaches, blurry eyesight, or to feel fatigued. – Your body is desperately trying to use every bit of resources that you have left and turn them into energy, just so you can carry on with your activities. This is the reason why you lose some weight when you don’t eat.
– If your body is in starvation mode and starts feasting on muscles, you can definitely expect a little difficulty in moving. – No doubt, there are some cases where a person can go on without eating for 3 to 4 days, but take note that this wasn’t accomplished overnight. – If you decide you really want to try fasting for an entire day, don’t just act on an impulse and try it all of a sudden

More What Happens When You Don’t Eat for 1 Day Videos

Whether you’re getting around by car, train, or plane, traveling can be uncomfortable and inconvenient, even if you love it. Your flight can get delayed by a lot. Sitting in close quarters for a long flight can slow blood circulation and cause the muscles to cramp. Your ears can pop during take-off and landing. So pay attention to some tips that will make your next trip a breeze! For example, make sure you have an empty water bottle in your carry-on. That way, you can get past security with no problem and then just fill the bottle up at the airport. Most have drinking fountains, so you’ll save some cash! Other videos you might like:

Go big on lunch 6:27
Help your body with jet lag 6:49
Carry an empty water bottle with you 7:18
Drink water 7:43 #TravelingTips #lifehacks #brightside SUMMARY:
– If you take 1 or 2 tennis balls with you on the plane, you can use them as little massagers to relieve and prevent that pain. Roll it along your ankles, calves, legs, wrists, back, and shoulders.
– Chewing on some gum actually keeps your ears from popping during take-off and landing. – A trash bag or two will be a lifesaver when you come out of the airport at your destination only to be met by…rain!
– The dryer sheets will keep your garments smelling fresh and clean like they’ve come straight from the laundry. – If your luggage is marked as “Fragile,” it should be handled more carefully by baggage personnel. Plus, it’ll likely be put on top of the other bags. – Grab a binder clip and clamp it onto the blades of your razor when you pack. This will save you from any accidental—and painful—injuries.
– You don’t need to go out and buy expensive and flashy luggage. Use a plain basic suitcase and tie a bright ribbon around one of the handles. – When you’re packing, wrap your shoes up in shower caps. This will prevent the bottoms from dirtying the rest of your clothes.
– Whether you’re flying or driving, keep all your chargers and power cords in a good-sized sunglasses case.
– You know those pill containers with little boxes for each day of the week? They’re also a great way to store and organize your jewelry when you’re traveling. – Keep your shirt collars nice and crisp by lining them with a belt. – Most airlines provide a pillow and blanket so that passengers can get a nap in during the flight. Take that little pillow and put it behind your lower back.
– If you’re going to be switching time zones, start making changes to your sleep pattern the day before you leave. – The air inside airplane cabins tends to be very dry. Drink plenty of water, or another drink that contains electrolytes, to prevent dehydration. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The bright orange color astronauts wear to go out for launch is called International Orange, and it’s the same shade as the paint that coats Tokyo Tower in Japan, and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. However, once astronauts are in space, they swap orange for snow-white wear. So what gives with the different colors? Well, there are actually two main types of spacesuits. The first one is the Advanced Crew Escape Suit, aka the "orange suit," aka the "pumpkin suit." Astronauts wear this full-pressure suit during "lift-off". These spacesuits are crucial for those who are heading for super high altitudes. But still, why this color? And what about the white, bulky spacesuits? What's their purpose?

– The orange suit is equipped with different stuff that can help an astronaut to survive if something goes wrong during the launch or landing of the spaceship. – Astronauts wear EVA suits when they go on a spacewalk! Such an outfit can protect them from the unfriendly conditions of outer space, what with its extreme temperatures and near-vacuum! – In case the tether tears, the EVA suit has a backup system. This system includes small jet thrusters which can be controlled from the station with the help of a joystick.
– Months after coming back from long missions in space, astronauts still tend to let go of things while they’re still in mid-air. – There was an astronaut who’d been waiting for a whopping 19 years before he finally flew to space. – All American astronauts have to learn Russian to be able to run the International Space Station using Russian-language manuals, if there’s no alternative. – During space adaptation, 50% to 75% of astronauts have highly unpleasant syndromes, such as vertigo, headaches, nausea, and overall tiredness. – When astronauts are in space, they often see random flashes of light – and it's not hallucinations! – Before going to space, astronauts have underwater training, which is supposed to simulate zero gravity.
– According to NASA, they accept only 8 applicants out of 6,000! On top of that, the selection process takes around 18 months!
– If an astronaut cries in space, tears don't flow down their face. Instead, they gather into thick blobs of liquid around their eyes because the water surface tension holds tears together. – Astronauts who forget to attach themselves to something when they sleep can easily float away and bump into a hard surface.
– Astronauts see a sunrise and a sunset every 45 minutes, which totals 15-16 sunsets and sunrises each day. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Astronauts Wear Orange and White Videos

When you hear a police siren blaring around the corner, you’re already expecting to see a sedan painted in certain colors rushing past you. But have you ever wondered why exactly police cars are painted in colors they use? In fact, there are plenty of reasons for that in any given country. Let’s take the USA and Canada for example. When first North American police cars appeared in the early 1900s, pretty much all automobiles were painted black, and law enforcers weren’t any exception. Later, most authorities across the US thought it prudent to make police cars easily recognizable to the public. And so they worked out a color palette that would be both symbolic and affordable for the budget. Other videos you might like:

APRIL – 14, 2017: POLICE CAR: By SergeevDen/Shutterstock.com, https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/usa-florida-miami-beach-april-14-621090572 Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– A monochrome design proved to be very efficient: people would instantly recognize a police car as such, and it was also not hard to give it another paint job in case it was given to a detective or an undercover officer.
– With the appearance of vinyl decals, however, it became increasingly easy to paint a car in whatever colors you wanted. – Originally, most police cars in Europe and the UK were white with distinct markings on them in either black, blue, or red. – But then, in the 1990s, the revolution came: the Battenburg markings. Developed in the UK, this distinct pattern became a standard for the British, Australian, and many of the European police cars. – The markings look like alternating squares of two different colors — kinda like a chess board.
– The reason for such a radical redesign is simple enough: making the emergency services highly visible.
– Only the emergency services are allowed to bear them, which makes these vehicles immediately recognizable even in the heavy traffic.
– In the Czech Republic, for example, most police vehicles have striped decals running along the bottom of the side of the car. – When light-reflecting stripes are put lower on the body of a car, they always get enough light to be seen for what they are.
– But probably the most visible police cars ever reside in Dubai. The police force in that wealthy city has perhaps the most expensive set of vehicles in the world. – Dubai creates a picture of the richest and most luxurious city in the world, and having their police officers drive around in Lamborghinis and Ferraris does a lot to add to this image.
– Police vehicles are generally more powerful than those available to the public. All around the world, governments place special orders for their police cars.
– There’s one thing the police have that makes almost every car chase a success: communication. And that’s the only real advantage of the police cars. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why Police Cars Are Often Black and White Videos

Do you wonder why flight attendants always give us the same instructions before take-off and landing? Some of them sound strange and seem to have no logic. Like, why do we need to open window shades or sit in darkness for flights at night? Pilots have their own window to look through, and they can’t even see if it’s dark or not in the passenger cabin. What gives? Take-off and landing are the most dangerous moments of the whole flight. Airplanes seldom crash in the air; the pilots can easily control the aircraft at a high altitude, or even in a turbulence zone. Most crashes actually occur when the plane is rising above the airport, or is touching back down on the runway. So all the instructions we follow have a good explanation. And that’s for our own security. Let’s see how it works. Other videos you might like:

Why does the seat back have to be straight? 4:44
Why you should keep window shades open 5:25
What about cell phones? 6:28 #planes #rulesofflying #brightside SUMMARY:
– The source of power on board the plane is an electric generator, which works at full blast during these 2 crucial moments of the flight. – The lights are turned off so that nothing interferes with the generator’s work when it’s under the most stress. – The human eye is built in a special way. When the light around us rapidly changes from very bright to dark, it takes some time for us to get used to it.
– The crew dims the light in the cabin on a nighttime flight so that the passengers’ eyes get used to the outside darkness. – Your eyes won’t need time to adjust to see the little floor lights that guide you to the exits. That’s why using your gadgets with a bright screen is also not allowed.
– If everyone had gotten used to low light conditions before the accident happened, you'd see about 1,000 times better, compared to if you were suddenly plunged into the darkness.
– Passengers should stay in their seats with seat belts fastened, the back of their seats in a vertical position, and tray tables locked.
– In case of an emergency, this position is also safer for you and the passenger behind you, since the risk of trauma to the head and neck is much lower this way.
– Pilots say that passengers are curious; they're perfect for an extra set of eyes to see if something goes wrong out there. Usually passengers report stuff right away.
– Plastic shades can also cause different injuries: in the case of a crash landing, the plastic can break into sharp pieces, which can cut your face, hands or other body parts. – The root of this instruction is in the past, when the navigational system wasn’t protected well enough from interference.
– Most researches show that switched on electronic devices don’t influence modern navigation. So, in 2014, this rule was officially called off. – Some airlines still stick to it, though, mainly out of habit. It’s just a question of time before it’s no longer used anywhere.

More Why Pilots Turn Off the Lights During Landing Videos

Do you wonder why flight attendants always give us the same instructions before take-off and landing? Some of them sound strange and seem to have no logic. Like, why do we need to open window shades or sit in darkness for flights at night? Pilots have their own window to look through, and they can’t even see if it’s dark or not in the passenger cabin. What gives? Take-off and landing are the most dangerous moments of the whole flight. Airplanes seldom crash in the air; the pilots can easily control the aircraft at a high altitude, or even in a turbulence zone. Most crashes actually occur when the plane is rising above the airport, or is touching back down on the runway. So all the instructions we follow have a good explanation. And that’s for our own security. Let’s see how it works. Other videos you might like:

– The source of power on board the plane is an electric generator, which works at full blast during these 2 crucial moments of the flight. – The lights are turned off so that nothing interferes with the generator’s work when it’s under the most stress. – The human eye is built in a special way. When the light around us rapidly changes from very bright to dark, it takes some time for us to get used to it.
– The crew dims the light in the cabin on a nighttime flight so that the passengers’ eyes get used to the outside darkness. – Your eyes won’t need time to adjust to see the little floor lights that guide you to the exits. That’s why using your gadgets with a bright screen is also not allowed.
– If everyone had gotten used to low light conditions before the accident happened, you'd see about 1,000 times better, compared to if you were suddenly plunged into the darkness.
– Passengers should stay in their seats with seat belts fastened, the back of their seats in a vertical position, and tray tables locked.
– In case of an emergency, this position is also safer for you and the passenger behind you, since the risk of trauma to the head and neck is much lower this way.
– Pilots say that passengers are curious; they're perfect for an extra set of eyes to see if something goes wrong out there. Usually passengers report stuff right away.
– Plastic shades can also cause different injuries: in the case of a crash landing, the plastic can break into sharp pieces, which can cut your face, hands or other body parts. – The root of this instruction is in the past, when the navigational system wasn’t protected well enough from interference.
