GE/Harmon LED vs. 100 MPH fast-ball

Post by freebrickproductions »

Someone on another forum I'm apart of shared this video there, and I thought I should post it here as well:



Glad to know these things are built durably. Wonder if they have a contract with Nintendo to get some of that Nintendium? :Tongue2:
They/Them for me, please.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Anyone who could throw a ball that fast would most likely be doing other things, like making big $$$$$ playing sport lol. It's an interesting video, nice to see how much research goes into crossing equipment. I wonder what would have happened if that light was mounted on an actual crossing? The LED insert would be ok, but the light head would most likely be knocked out of alignment.
