Build a Segway Clone

Did you pass this along to Slang?

I think dual redundant means that they are mutually redundant to each other: instead of a primary and a backup, you have two primaries, each of which can shoulder the whole load if necessary.

Clodfobble, what is your IQ?

I believe CF is correct. This isn't really exotic, Flint. Your braking system on your car is likely "dual redundant" in that the two reservoirs for the brake fluid each serve one front and one rear wheel, though they are both actuated by the same pedal and master cylinder.
But nice catch. Good to see you're reading for comprehension and not just lip exercise. :) |

Now to take the extra step, to call it "dual redundant" must mean something. Either it's #1: "dual redundant" simply means "redundant" #2: as in BigV's example, it's less than redundant (what if the pedal or master cylinder goes out?) or #3: "dual redundant" is a hyped-up marketing word, designed to fool the consumer into thinking that they're getting something better than redundant (it's dual redundant, IE twice as good) ... I may be wrong here, but I'm going with #3, "dual redundant" is marketing hype, "redundant" is the word they should have used. |
So if I said I built a Segway clone for less than $2, then would I be redundant?

Having a spare tire is not a redundant system. A "dualie" is redundant (and legally required, over certain weight limits):
|
I wouldn't say a dualie is redundant since the purpose of the second wheel is to spread the load over a greater area, thus allowing greater loads.
Although as used by a lot of folks who are driving empty dualies, they are redundant. |
I figured that another part of the function is that, if one tire blows out, another one is already there, thus you don't fishtail with your load and wipe out a minivan full of unsuspecting innocents.

I insist that the dual in dual redundant is redundant. When you remove the redundant dual from dual redundant you still have redundant.
|
Dual redundant means it is not triple redundant or quadruple redundant. Most of the critical systems in commercial aircraft are triple redundant. Some military aircraft have quadruple redundant systems. :cool:
