Why Buses Have Bigger Steering Wheels



Have you ever stopped to think about how much we rely on buses? Whether you use one for school or utilize public transit, buses are so engrained in our daily lives that there’s a lot of questions we could—and should—be asking about them! Do you know what exactly is “School Bus Yellow”? It’s not really that primary yellow color. School buses are their own unique shade of yellow—you might even see it on a crayon! Also, there are a lot of laws that surround buses. And the rules are particularly tight for school buses! For example, steering wheels on school buses are subject to yearly inspections. By the way, why are they so big? Other videos you might like:

Where did the song “The Wheels on the Bus” come from? 8:10 #schoolbuses #buses #brightside SUMMARY:
– When power steering became standard in the ‘50s, a big steering wheel had to be added to accommodate the rotation of those huge wheels. It helps the bus driver stay in control!
– The steering wheels on buses are generally between 16 and 22 inches across. – Research shows that buses are one of the safest ways to travel, even without seatbelts; up to 40 times safer, in fact, than traveling by car!
– If you live in the U.S., school buses are actually required to be yellow by law! This may have to do with how easily we can spot the color yellow—it’s one of the first colors on the spectrum that we see.
– When it comes to school buses, there are different regulations that dictate their size. The average school bus weighs between 14,000 and 19,500 pounds. – The average school bus is 35 feet long and can carry 64 passengers. Obviously, students can’t stand while riding in a school bus, but you can in public transit! – If you wanna become a school bus driver, you must be at least 18 years old, and pass a physical and vision test. You’ll have to apply for a commercial learner’s permit and pass a thorough written test.
– There are records of a man named John Greenwood operating a scheduled bus route from Manchester to Pendleton in the UK as early as 1824. These would’ve been the initial horse-drawn models.
– School buses can hold between 60 and 100 gallons of diesel fuel. – The original composer of the song “The Wheels on the Bus” is unknown, but it was possibly written by a woman named Verna Hills. Published in 1939, the lyrics are a little different everywhere, It’s still sung in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia today!

Why Space Shuttles Take Off Only Vertically



The view of a rust-colored rocket carrying an orbiter on its back and rushing to the sky on its fiery tail is iconic. But considering the last Space Shuttle launch was back in 2011, is this the last we’ll ever see of such a thing? What’s next? Could an improved shuttle be made that takes off and lands like an airplane? Our planet is a complex hodge-podge of all kinds of matter, which is combined into an impressive mass. All that mass works like a colossal magnet that allows the Earth to maintain one thing we all know and love – the atmosphere. But the atmosphere itself is also filled with matter. Airplanes don’t struggle this much with getting through the atmosphere. But what about shuttles? Other videos you might like:

A space elevator 6:35
SpaceTram 7:35
Will people use planes as a way of getting into orbit? 8:14 #space #rocket #brightside SUMMARY:
– Going through a vacuum is like cutting through the air, whereas getting through the atmosphere is like going through jelly.
– Airplanes don’t struggle this much with getting through the atmosphere, because they use its density to lift up from the ground and maintain altitude. – Two things help them with that: the thrust of their engines and the form of their wings.
– Basically, wings make it so the airplane can glide on the air. But of course, that wouldn’t be possible without a huge force pushing the airplane along. – But let’s look at that space shuttle. The first obvious things are the cute, tiny, stubby wings that wouldn’t be any use for a horizontal takeoff. – The airplanes’ engines need air from the atmosphere to work. The shuttle’s engines obviously didn’t, since atmospheric air would’ve been hard to find in space.
– To fly up, a rocket engine has to throw off enough thrust, and burn the right amount of fuel to do the job. – The power of a shuttle with three engines and two boosters is around 7.8 million pounds of thrust! – But would it even be possible to fly a shuttle into orbit if it was modified to use the atmosphere like planes? Unfortunately, the answer is no.
– To escape the atmosphere, any object that starts from the Earth would have to be fast enough to cross the point of so-called escape velocity.
– This velocity is needed to overpower the gravitational pull of the planet and let an object go into orbit. – A space elevator is the concept of a huge tower that connects to a satellite at the top, which moves in line with the rotational movement of the Earth itself.
– Сarbon nanotubes were proved not sturdy enough for building a tower this huge, so the search for an ideal material continues. – Another project that uses a similar approach is called a SpaceTram. It’s a vertical vacuum tunnel that pushes a magnetically levitated shuttle.
– It’s possible that people will use planes as a way of getting into orbit. The plane won’t go to space by itself. Instead, it’ll be used as a launch platform. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Chinese People Always Drink Hot Water



Imagine yourself in China in the middle of July. The weather is boiling, and the only thing you can think about is a big glass of ice water. You ask for a drink at the nearest cafe and take a gulp. But the water’s so hot that it's burned your tongue! Yep, in China, drinking water is served piping hot. What's more, locals have it with all their dishes, be it winter or stifling summer heat. The answer to this mystery lies in Chinese culture and history. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body consists of yin and yang elements. And you stay healthy only if your yin and yang are in balance. Okay, what is this all about? Other videos you might like:

– The main reasons for different unexpected food combinations 7:10
– Their version of Bigfoot 7:39 #China #Asia #brightside SUMMARY:
– So, let's say your yang gets too strong. In this case, your internal temperature will rise, and you’re likely to get ill. That's why it's crucial to get rid of the extra yang (or, in other words, excess heat) in your body. – And however counterintuitive it may sound, the best way to do this is by drinking hot water, or other hot beverages. – Being able to drink hot water was kind of a privilege and was reserved for the elderly, the sick, and pregnant women.
– Another reason for drinking hot water during meals is that it's supposed to improve digestion and soothe the digestive tract.
– Soccer appeared nowhere else but in China about 2,200 years ago! Or at least it was the game that later transformed into the soccer we know today.
– With an area of more than 3.7 million square miles, China is a huge country. – China is the country with the largest population on the planet. More than 1.4 billion people live there! – The first day of the year in China falls on the new moon, which usually happens between January 21 and February 20.
– Fortune cookies weren’t invented in China! They began in San Francisco, and nowadays, more than 3 billion fortune cookies are produced every year.
– China is the country of railroads. Imagine this: if you combined all the Chinese railroad tracks, you’d be able to wrap them around the Earth two times! – Table tennis, or Ping-pong, is China's national sport, and the Chinese are really good at it! – Number 8 is a lucky number in China. The reason for this may lie in the fact that in Chinese, the word "prosperity" sounds like the word "eight." – China is also the home of the world-famous Terracotta Army, which consists of approximately 8,000 clay soldiers who were supposed to guard the Emperor's tomb in Xi'an.
– You have to thank the Chinese for inventing toilet paper! But at first, it wasn't just for anybody – only the emperor could use it. – One of the main reasons for different unexpected food combinations is that traditional Chinese medicine claims that all the tastes must be balanced. – China has its own version of Bigfoot. Its name is Yeren, which means "wild man," and it supposedly lives somewhere in the mountains of the Hubei Province, which is covered in dense forests. – The most popular hobby in China is collecting stamps. What's more, it's seen as a status symbol! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Fire Trucks Are Red



Everything about a firetruck makes us stop and look at it. They’re big, bright, loud, and they carry brave people who save lives. But have you ever wondered why they’re red? The answer isn’t 100% clear, but there are a few theories out there. By the way, other colors have also been used for them. Studies have shown that while that red hue reaches our eyes first in the daytime, it’s not best for at night. When it’s dark out, our eyes are better at seeing colors with a smaller wavelength like greens and blues. So some cities have adopted one of these colors for their firetrucks instead of the traditional crimson! Other places have even more surprising colors like orange, pink, yellow, and lime green!

– Surprising Horsepower 8:18
– The Lights and Sirens 8:38 #firetrucks #fireman #brightside SUMMARY:
– The earliest fire departments in the 1800s were made up of volunteer firefighters. Back then, red was the cheapest color of paint you could buy, so they went with the budget-friendly option.
– Another theory says that back when fire departments ran on volunteers, there was a lot of pride and competition between departments from town to town. Red was the most sought-after color because it’s bold and catches the eye. – Fire departments wanted their trucks to stand out among the thousands of dark vehicles and wagons on the road. – Fire extinguishers, hydrants, STOP signs and lights – they’re all bright red like a cherry.
– Red has the highest wavelength of all the other colors of the rainbow, so our brain registers it first. – Back in the days when fire engines were pulled by horses, a dalmatian would run ahead of them and bark loudly to clear the path. – The earliest fire engine was from Ancient Greece. It was only a large pump in an aqueduct system that shot water, but the concept evolved in Ancient Greece. – The fire engine is what brings the pumps and hoses to the scene, while the truck delivers all the ladders in case they’re needed. – Firefighters are trained to go up sky-high on these ladders. But no worries – they’re built to remain stable in 50 mph winds!
– Depending on what equipment it carries and how big the firetruck is, they cost between $500,000 and $1,000,000!
– The fastest firetruck in the world is called the Hawaiian Eagle, and it holds the record for the fastest firetruck in existence, and it can reach speeds of up to 407 mph.
– Surprisingly, the average firetruck only has around 500 horsepower! -It’s a little-known fact that the flashing lights and super loud siren are on the fire engine, not the truck. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What Happens When Lightning Strikes a Plane



It was a cold rainy day in October of 2016. Huge balls of hail crashed into the ground. In short, it wasn’t a good day to fly, and Wow Air Flight 404 headed from Reykjavík, Iceland to Paris, France would soon understand why… That iconic fuchsia-colored plane was struck by a massive bolt of lightning not long after taking off! But did she go down? You’d think so given that a single lightning bolt carries 1 billion volts of electric force with it. So, an exterior burnt black like a piece of coal? A shredded fuselage? A fire on board? No, nope, and negative. Other videos you might like:

Can passengers notice anything? 7:22
The biggest risk 8:14 #planes #whatif #brightside SUMMARY:
– Lightning doesn’t hit airplanes that often these days. Security rules don’t allow pilots to fly into a storm front. The plane should go around a thundercloud but never above or under it. – Ok, but if a lightning strike doesn’t bring a plane down or do any threatening damage, then why do they avoid storms? Well, it’s not because of the lightning itself but extreme turbulence that might happen inside a storm. – As it is now, with the existing safety rules in place, lightning hits a plane 1-2 times a year if the aircraft is used regularly. But even then, it doesn’t usually lead to any serious circumstances. – Out of 3,000 plane-related incidents since 2000, only 8 of them were caused by lightning strikes.
– Retired pilot Chris Hammond explains that before an aircraft goes into service, it gets tested for all possible incidents. That includes a lightning strike simulation.
– The bolt usually hits the plane in the area of its nose and leaves near the tail and partially through the wings. It does that because it chooses the path of least resistance.
– Even if the flight makes it to the destination and everything seems ok, technicians still carefully examine the aircraft once it’s on the ground to see if there’s any micro damage to its skin.
– Spots where the lightning entered and exited the plane’s exterior usually look like small melted holes no more than half an inch in diameter. They can be fixed very quickly.
– But can passengers notice anything on board during this impromptu light show? Sure, you can hear a loud strike and see flashes outside the plane. – Lightning is not a problem in modern aviation. A lot of design solutions protect airplanes from any severe damage, and the risk of getting into an accident caused by lightning is next to zero.
– In fact, the biggest risk caused by a lightning strike (other than any turbulence going on out in that storm) is that passengers who notice it can get scared and start panicking. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Japan Has Left-Hand Traffic



If you live in the West, you probably have only a passing familiarity with the geographically small but economically powerful nation of Japan. It's the country that brought us PlayStations, anime, and tiny cars. But there are a lot of surprising quirks of Japanese culture most westerners aren't familiar with. When you think of driving on the left side of the road, which country do you think of? If you live in Europe or North America, jolly old England comes to mind. India, Australia, and South Africa are also reasonable guesses. These countries, and most of the others with left-side driving, were once part of the British empire, so it's no wonder they inherited the UK's driving habits. But Japan was never part of the British Empire, so why they drive on the right? Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– It turns out that while Japan was never a dominion of Her Majesty, British companies were responsible for building Japan's first railways in the 1870s. They brought their lane preference with them. – Kit-Kat sounds almost exactly like the common Japanese phrase Kitto Katsu. This translates to "You will surely win," and is the cultural equivalent of an English speaker saying, “good luck.” Nestlé was quick to seize on the luckiest bit of free advertising in history, leading the Kit-Kat to become the most popular chocolate bar in Japan.
– Finding out that KFC is considered a traditional Christmas dinner in Japan might come as a shock to some people. Customers will line up around the block and to-go orders must be made months in advance to guarantee they’ll be enough to go around. – Japan became the sole holder of an imperial title following the collapse of the Ethiopian monarchy in 1974. While the Emperor no longer wields direct power, he continues to hold a position of extreme cultural importance as both head of state and of spiritual traditions. In addition to being the last Empire standing, Japan's Yamato dynasty is the oldest royal family in the world, allegedly dating all the way back to the year 660 BC.
– While plenty of Japanese vending machines sell traditional snack foods, the sky’s the limit as far as automated sales are concerned. This includes neat but relatively reasonable things such as fresh fruit and hot coffee, as well as oddities such as clothing, shoes, umbrellas, surgical masks, and even cassette tapes.
– While most of the Japanese companies you've heard of are sprawling multinationals with multibillion-dollar incomes, huge corporations actually represent a tiny fraction of the local market. With small and medium-sized businesses dominating Japan's economy, most workplaces don't have the resources to update their technology regularly.

What If You Swallowed the Most Venomous Spider



It’s been said that a person swallows about eight spiders in their sleep every year. It's hard to say if that story is true or not but it makes a kind of sense. Spiders like warm dark places and the inside of your mouth sure fits that description. Gross as it sounds, if the story’s true, it seems to be mostly harmless. But what if it wasn’t? What if you swallowed a spider that wasn’t just venomous, but the most toxic spider in the world? Let's find out! But please, please, don’t try this at home. Do not eat live venomous spiders!

– This hairy little monster is known as the Sydney funnel-web spider, or “Atrax robustus” if you want to show off.
– The Sydney funnel-web can hold its breath for over a day, in some cases surviving underwater for up to thirty hours. – Atrax really don’t like to be handled, and their fangs are large and powerful enough to punch a hole in your fingernail. – The Atrax’s venom is a special kind of nasty, attacking its prey's nervous system. Symptoms will begin within minutes as the neurotoxin starts shorting out your nerves. – After being bitten, your heart will start beating rapidly as your blood pressure spikes through the roof. This is followed by breathing trouble, muscle spasms, and numbness around the mouth.
– Finally, the venom begins to attack the brain, causing disorientation and eventually loss of consciousness. In as little as fifteen minutes after the initial bite…
– You're in for anywhere from two to twelve injections depending on the severity of your symptoms. – Anyway, let’s say you managed to wrangle a Sydney funnel-web into your mouth without getting bitten. What happens then?
– For the record, something is poisonous if you get sick from eating it, and venomous if you get sick from being bitten. There may be a lot of venomous spiders, but no one’s ever found one that’s poisonous. – Venom is dangerous if it gets in your blood, but harmless if swallowed; although I have no idea why or how anyone would end up doing so.
– It turns out, most mammals are entirely immune to the Atrax’s venom. Only invertebrates and primates are vulnerable, anything else gets off with the equivalent of a bee sting. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

A 700-year-old Glacier Has Melted Due to Climate Change



Blue glaciers are a trademark of Iceland, a Northern country, 11% of whose territory is covered with ice. But glaciers have started to disappear, and there’s a possibility that soon, they’ll vanish altogether. Okjokull glacier was formed about 700 years ago. In 1901, it stretched for 15 square miles and had a depth of 165 feet. It now takes up less than half a square mile and is only 50 feet deep. It took a century for the huge glacier to turn into a small piece of ice; and in 2014, the glacier stopped moving and was officially considered extinct. And a similar occurrence has happened all around the world. Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– Okjokull lost its prefix “jokul” which means “glacier” in Icelandic, and they started calling it Ok, after the volcano on which it sits. – A geologist from Iceland, Oddur Sigurdsson, predicted the quick disappearance of glaciers as far back as 10 years ago. 56 of 330 small glaciers have disappeared in the Northern part of Iceland already, but Okjokull was the biggest of them all. – A similar occurrence has happened all around the world. Glaciers now cover about 10% of the Earth's surface, but are quickly melting because the average temperature on Earth has been steadily rising. – Pedersen Glacier, located in Kenai Fjords National Park, receded throughout the 20th century, exposing Pedersen Spit and Pedersen Lagoon. There are almost no traces of the glacier left now.
– Carroll glacier used to be 15 miles long, but little of it is left now. A calm lake, touching the base of a small hill, is in its place. The snow that used to lie on top of the hills and lakeshores also melted, and now everything is green. – The territory, which is mostly green now, used to be covered with a thick layer of ice and snow a hundred years ago. Muir Glacier can hardly be recognized now after the glacier sunk back about 12.5 miles. – The vast icy expanses of Muir glacier have turned into a huge lake. There used to be no plants here because of the low temperatures, but after the glacier melted, the valley bloomed and filled with ocean water, creating Muir Inlet. – Toboggan Glacier used to cover a large territory, but less than a hundred years later, it’d thinned by 492 ft. It was a dull gray landscape before, but by the year 2000, brushwood had covered the slopes of the hills.
– Greenland is #2 on the list of places that are losing their glaciers quickly.
– In just one day, July 31, 2019, Greenland lost 11 billion tons of ice; and 197 billion tons in the whole month of July. This is 3 times higher than ecologists had predicted. – #3 in the list of the fastest melting regions is the Southern Andes, which lost 1.2 trillion tons of glacier ice over half a century.
– Qori Kalis Glacier, in Peru, one of the few tropical glaciers, has been melting for 33 years, and continues to melt at an alarming rate.
– In 2009, Bolivia had to close down the Chacaltaya ski resort. It was situated at a height of between 15,400 and 17,700 feet, and was the highest ski resort in the world. – In 2005 a snowcap on top of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania melted for the first time in 11,000 years. The height of the mountain is 19,350 feet, and it’s never been that warm there. – 9 years ago, NASA started mission IceBridge to observe the polar ice in the Arctic and Antarctic. – This year, they reported that the polar ice sheets are smaller than ever, and the speed of the melting is faster than scientists predicted.
