The Chappell brothers are no strangers to these pages. Over the years, they’ve produced an impressive string of bikes—despite living hundreds of miles apart.That distance has proved hard to manage, so these equally talented builders each handle their own projects nowadays. Chris operates as Chappell Customs out of Los Angeles, while Rob spins wrenches in Ontario, Canada, under the alias Origin8or.
This is Rob’s newest build, and we’re still trying to pick our jaws up off the floor.
It’s a 1981 Honda CB900F. Or rather, it was: Rob’s bumped it up to 985cc and thrown enough upgrades at it to make our eyes water.
“This build began three years ago,” Rob tells us, “right after I sold the white CB985 featured on Bike EXIF.”
“I figured I would spend the winter building the white bike’s replacement. Fast forward to the present: After six more client builds and a GSX-R1100 personal ride later, I finally got the CB finished.”
Rob wanted his new CB985 to stand apart from its predecessor—so he decided to finish it in black and play with its lines a bit.
Even though the donor bike’s fuel tank was in pristine condition he cut into it—reshaping it with knee indents and flush mounting a new pop-up cap.
Rob then customized a Kawasaki KZ1000 tailpiece to fit the Honda.
(He’s made a mold of it, so that he can offer the unit to others via his
website). Brother Chris also makes seats under the ‘Tuffside‘ label, so Rob commissioned a one-off perch for his CB.
It’s an absolute knockout—upholstered with suede, carbon and leather, and finished with yellow stitching.
Underneath is a superbly crafted subframe, with a triangulated single
shock mount. It’s hooked up to a 2008 Yamaha R6 swingarm and shock.
Matching it up front is a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750 front-end, capped off with a top triple clamp from Cognito Moto. Rob took care to clean up and brace the main frame where needed too.
The Honda’s rolling on new Carrozzeria V-Track forged wheels, with
Dunlop GP-A rubber (120 at the front with a whopping 190 at the rear).
Wave rotors at both ends, and braided hoses, add a smidgen more stopping
As mentioned, Rob tore the engine down and rebuilt it a little bigger. It’s now packing 985cc, helped along by a set of Keihin CR31 carbs and K&N filters. There’s also a new oil cooler, with braided lines and Earl’s fittings, and a stunning four-into-two exhaust from Cycle-X.
All the engine bits have been powder-coated gloss black, to
compliment the matte black engine block. There are stainless fasteners
throughout—and an anodized black billet sprocket cover from RICCI
Engineering in Australia.
Rob ripped out the electrical system too—rewiring the entire bike with a car-style start switch, Dynatek ignition, new coils and an Antigravity lithium-ion battery. Everything’s been neatly tucked away, leaving the big four with a lean look (despite its brawny demeanor).
The CB985 is finished off with a long list of carefully selected parts. The clip-ons and foot controls are from Woodcraft; the latter are mated to adjustable Yamaha R6 rearset mounts.
There’s also an LED taillight with integrated turn signals, and a
license plate bracket with illumination. With everything combined, the
bike is totally street legal (there’s a Rizoma mirror too, but it didn’t
make it into the photos).
Throughout the project, Rob wanted to walk the line between classic and contemporary. So finding the right color scheme was crucial.
“I played around with many different themes—solid black, black
silver, solid silver—but they all made the bike look too new. I wanted
to showcase the new parts, of course, but still wanted a retro feel that
would highlight some of the bike’s heritage.”
The final scheme turned out to be a cocktail of black pearl, metallic silver, lemon sting, liquid copper and metallic red. Rob handled the paint himself—along with all the welding, fabrication and engine work involved.
And he’s completely nailed it: his CB985 is refined and crisp, but
retains an air of brawniness and purpose. Now excuse us while we wipe
the drool from our keyboards. | mechanical_engineering |

The Benefits of Using Excavator Rubber Tracks
Thinking of purchasing excavator rubber tracks in Sydney? Wondering if they are the right kind for your machine? You are at the right place. The following is a lowdown of the benefits of using excavator rubber tracks. Rubber tracks have a large surface area which allow them to be maneuvered with ease. They also offer the correct balance for larger vehicles thus making them easier to work with.
Excavator rubber tracks can be used for the following purposes
- The kind of industries which require heavy material to be transferred from one place to another. Excavator tracks allow ease of purpose and this lets al heavy objects be transported with relative ease.
- Industries related to construction.
- Agricultural industries, mostly tracks are used in fields.
- Rubber tracks work well on concrete floors as well. When compared to any other kind of tracks they offer a smoother and pleasant ride. Plus the fact that they cause as little damage as possible on the roads is an added benefit. When compared to steel tracks, the damage is almost non-existent.
- Rubber tracks are resilient and sturdy, this is why it’s the number one choice of people working in the construction and agricultural industries. These tracks can work for years without tearing or the need to be repaired.
- The supple an agile nature of these tracks is another plus. After all the easier it is to maneuver a vehicle the better it can transport material from one place to another. They can glide easily over any kind of challenging surface yet at the same time provide a smooth and bump free ride. This is easy on the person who’s driving the excavator as well.
- However care should be taken that the tracks aren’t used on surfaces which are too jagged because this might cause a tear to occur in the tracks and which might need to be repaired to avoid further damage.
- The tough and sturdy rubber tracks are less prone to wear and tear. They don’t get punctured too easily. There are modular steel plates placed in the rubber tracks, these allow the tracks to be able to withstand any kind of surface.
- The large surface area of rubber tracks allows it to distribute the weight of the vehicle easily and without a great deal of hassle. Plus it can be easily maneuvered in areas which are too soft and where any other track would get jammed easily thus making movement a lot more difficult than usual. The easy traction allows material to be transported with ease.
- Any kind of movement when forward and backward is great deal easier while using rubber tracks. This ease of movement allows the vehicle to be maneuvered easily.
With so many benefits of excavator rubber tracks, it’s no wonder that it’s the first choice of all smart business owners in Sydney. If you are looking to buy the best rubber tracks, make sure you check out the variety available at plant supplies. They have an option of a fast delivery and the prices are reasonable as well. | mechanical_engineering |

Solar energy offers a clean and abundant power source that can be harnessed to enhance productivity, reduce operating costs, and minimize environmental impact. In this article, we will explore the growing trend of solar-powered technologies in agriculture, such as solar irrigation systems, solar-powered machinery, and remote monitoring systems, and how they can shape the future of farming.
- Solar Irrigation Systems: Water is a precious resource in agriculture, and efficient irrigation systems are crucial for optimal crop growth. Solar-powered irrigation systems utilize the sun’s energy to power water pumps, eliminating the need for traditional fuel-powered systems. These systems can be designed with precision, delivering water directly to plant roots, minimizing water wastage through evaporation and runoff. Solar irrigation systems are particularly beneficial for farmers in remote areas with limited access to electricity, providing a sustainable solution for crop irrigation.
- Solar-Powered Machinery: Solar energy is increasingly being used to power machinery and equipment in agriculture, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Solar-powered tractors, harvesters, and other machinery leverage the sun’s energy to perform essential tasks. These machines can be charged using solar panels installed on rooftops or as portable solar charging stations. By utilizing solar power, farmers can reduce fuel costs, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance overall operational sustainability.
- Remote Monitoring Systems: Remote monitoring systems powered by solar energy are transforming the way farmers manage their operations. Solar-powered sensors and cameras can be deployed throughout the farm to monitor soil moisture levels, weather conditions, pest activity, and equipment performance. This real-time data allows farmers to make informed decisions regarding irrigation scheduling, pest control measures, and machinery maintenance. With remote monitoring, farmers can optimize resource allocation, enhance crop yield, and minimize waste.
- Energy Storage Solutions: Solar energy systems can be integrated with energy storage solutions, such as batteries, to ensure a continuous power supply even during non-sunlight hours. Energy storage enables farmers to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during the night or periods of low solar irradiation. This helps to reduce reliance on the electrical grid and provides a reliable and independent power source for critical farm operations, such as refrigeration, lighting, and milking machines.
- Environmental Benefits: The integration of solar-powered technologies into agriculture brings significant environmental benefits. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, solar energy helps to lower greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. Additionally, solar-powered technologies contribute to improved air quality by eliminating the emissions associated with traditional fuel-powered machinery. Solar energy also reduces noise pollution, creating a more sustainable and harmonious farming environment.
The future of farming lies in the integration of solar-powered technologies. As solar energy becomes more accessible and affordable, its potential to revolutionize agricultural practices continues to grow. By adopting solar irrigation systems, solar-powered machinery, remote monitoring systems, and energy storage solutions, farmers can enhance productivity, reduce operating costs, and improve sustainability. Embracing solar-powered technologies not only benefits individual farmers but also contributes to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural industry as a whole. | mechanical_engineering |

By Peter Dorfman
December 5, 2018
“Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it,” Michelangelo reputedly said five centuries ago. Like most great classical artists, Michelangelo had apprentices who helped bring his visions to life. Today, some modern sculptors are inspired by the same materials as the Florentine master, but their assistants are less prone to error or fatigue—because they’re robots.
Stone carving and sculpture are fairly obvious applications for robots—computer numerical controlled (CNC) gantry-cutting devices, to be more precise. For decades, robots have been able to re-create virtually anything humans can design or make, only faster, more precisely, and less expensively.
For the Digital Stone Project, a nonprofit organization that connects artists with digital-design engineers and robotic stonework fabricators, the more interesting challenge is pushing the boundaries of automated stone-carving systems. The resulting artwork benefits from the imagination-stretching capabilities of digital-design software, as well as the precision of robotic drilling and chiseling.
A participant at the Digital Stone Project workshop puts the finishing touches on her work. Courtesy Garfagnana Innovazione.
“The robot just does what the 3D-design document tells it to do,” says Jon Isherwood, a sculptor who founded the Digital Stone Project in 2003. “The robot just does whatever you tell it to do and doesn’t take breaks. What an amazing assistant!”
Automation also accurately estimates the length of the fabrication process. “You have a better idea of your project’s economics than you ever would working by hand with human assistance,” Isherwood says.
But beyond the practical, the Digital Stone Project aims to discover what the software and robots can produce uniquely. “A Michelangelo, working in the 16th century, would use steel-forged tools like flathead chisels, points, and so forth, which would produce a certain surface,” Isherwood says. “A good example at the Accademia Gallery in Florence, where you can see the finely carved against the rough-carved surfaces. The robotic process is a removal process with a spinning head that moves across the surface. Artists and architects are beginning to embrace that and explore what it can do.”
In 2005, the Johnson Atelier (founded by sculptor Seward Johnson of the Johnson & Johnson empire) in Hamilton, NJ, decided to sell its stone division. Isherwood raised funds to buy out the foundation’s stake and, with a group of five sculptors, founded the Digital Stone Project to let artists continue to explore carving stone with digital technologies at a low cost. Their not-for-profit board ran the facility, providing services until 2011, when Isherwood refocused the mission solely on running artist’s workshops.
That left Isherwood without the infrastructure for digital design and fabrication. For that, he turned to the birthplace of the marble sculpture tradition: the mountains of Tuscany. Isherwood established a relationship with Garfagnana Innovazione, a company with the necessary technical depth and production capacity. Garfagnana is based in Gramolazzo, less than 90 minutes from Carrara, the source of the white or blue-gray marble prized in classical architecture and sculpture since the Roman era. Garfagnana was founded in 2011 to provide digital fabrication for architectural stonework. Italy is still the source of much of the world’s finest marble and boasts a substantial industry producing machine-milled ornamental stonework. Digital design and robotics are relatively new in that industry.
Since 2013, Garfagnana has provided engineering, machinery, and materials—including robotics and scanning technology—for the Digital Stone Project.
“The artists send us physical or digital models, and we translate them into designs in our software and do the actual fabrication,” says Lorenzo Busti, programmer/technician at Garfagnana. Although the engineers typically work from 3D computer-aided design files, they can 3D scan a physical model and scale it to the artist’s requirements.
Garfagnana’s robots work on marble blocks about 1 square meter by 2 meters high (approximately 10.7 square feet by 6.5 feet high)—large enough to fashion a human figure. That’s about 6 tons of stone. Fabrication of a reasonably complex sculpture takes about four weeks. “For sculptors working in the traditional way by hand, that kind of project would take 10 or 11 months,” says Gabriel Ferri, a programmer of Garfagnana’s scanning and cutting software.
The carving typically proceeds in two stages, each managed by a separate program. Staging the process this way lets operators change the diamond-cutting tools as they wear out at predictable intervals or swap tools to apply specific edges. Marble is relatively soft compared to granite, which wears out cutting tools three times as fast as marble.
Using robotics could expand the market for architectural and ornamental stonework, making it available beyond its current luxury clients, Busti says. Designers could even have machines mass-produce the David or Pietà.
The Digital Stone Project’s annual workshop gives professional artists, designers, and architects a chance to work with advanced digital-sculpting technologies on a beautiful work site in Gramolazzo, Italy. Courtesy Digital Stone Project. “We do have customers who want to re-create classical designs,” Busti says. But that might miss the point: Robotics offer precision and measurability that augment human skill and imagination, enabling artists to dream far beyond the classical repertoire.
“I’ve been exploring this intersection between form and surface,” Isherwood says. “It’s that moment when surface can have an identifiable marking from a tool that’s been instructed through digital processes. That’s bringing something new to my approach. I’m exploring the skin of the material. The robot allows specific incisions on the surface of the material that have a relationship to the overall form. They can swell; they can push, turn, twist, and accentuate the volumetric dynamic—the sensuality—of the form.” Explore the software that makes programming robotics a snap. READ MORE The robot acts on the stone, moving through seven axes to carve the material. “I just did a project for the Verona Stone Fair that brought together two surfaces that merged through one another,” Isherwood says. “Imagine a patterned surface that is concave and another surface that’s also concave; if you push them together, they intersect and create a third pattern.” New digital tools help bring the robot ever closer to the design process. Last summer’s Digital Stone Project workshop group used 3D scanners and virtual-reality tools to digitally sculpt the marble, and then Autodesk PowerMill sent instructions directly to the fabrication and milling robots.
The technology lets sculptors expand their creative vocabulary, which Isherwood likens to the impact computers have had on music. “Just as the software can create digital sounds that don’t come from analog instruments, the robot can give you a shape and form that doesn’t come from analog tools,” he says.
Stone sculptors exploring the possibilities in digital design, artificial intelligence, and machine learning will inevitably circle back to Michelangelo’s classic challenge: to discover the statue inhabiting the stone, waiting to emerge.
“One artist, Michael Rees, requested from the engineers who programmed the software that the first cut into the stone would not be informed by anything other than the decision to remove material,” Isherwood says. “Then the next move would be a response to that change, and each additional cut would be driven by the previous changes. The robot would continuously work in a way you might call intuitive.”
That approach, Isherwood suggests, only scratches the surface of what machine learning could contribute to the creative process.
The Digital Stone project has run workshops for professionals for six years in Gramolazzo. “As long as artists, designers, and architects want to come out and experiment, I’m happy to keep it going,” Isherwood says. “Autodesk’s sponsorship over the past few years helps subsidize several graduate students’ participation. We run the program at cost. You go into the mountains and work with the robot, eat great food, and drink great wine—what better way to spend a month?”

One such tool that has revolutionized the industry is the forestry mulcher. A forestry mulcher is a versatile and effective machine that not just removes trees and greenery yet also changes them into mulch right away. In this write-up, we will certainly discover the advantages and applications of forestry mulchers in land administration.
Forestry mulchers are made to be attached to different types of heavy tools, such as excavators, skid steers, or tractors, depending upon the size and range of the task. These equipments are furnished with a turning drum, fitted with sharp teeth or hammers, that shreds trees, brush, and other greenery into tiny items. This shredded material, or compost, can after that be left on-site to decompose naturally or made use of for other purposes, such as disintegration control, landscape design, or biomass fuel.
One of the significant benefits of making use of a forestry mulcher is its ability to clear land swiftly and successfully. Unlike standard land cleaning techniques, such as manual labor or excavators, which typically leave behind stumps and debris that require to be carried away, a mulcher can grind every little thing in its path. This not only conserves time yet also removes the demand for added devices and labor.
An additional benefit of using a forestry mulcher is its very little impact on the surrounding environment. With exact control and maneuverability, drivers can uniquely eliminate trees and greenery without creating unneeded damage to the dirt, root systems, or nearby structures. The mulched product works as an all-natural ground cover, which aids to stop dirt disintegration and preserve moisture, advertising healthy plants development.
Forestry mulchers are extensively utilized in various markets and applications. They are commonly employed in forestry and land administration jobs, such as getting rid of treking routes, maintaining power line passages, or developing firebreaks. Building firms additionally utilize these machines for site prep work, roadway building, and land recovery. Moreover, homeowners and towns use forestry mulchers for home growth, invasive plant species regulate, and storm damage cleaning.
Finally, the forestry mulcher has actually become an essential device for effective land clearing up and administration. Its ability to quickly and successfully grind trees, brush, and greenery right into mulch makes it a flexible and green solution. By utilizing a forestry mulcher, landowners and specialists can save time, minimize prices, and lessen ecological influence. Whether you are a forester, specialist, or property owner, purchasing a forestry mulcher can substantially boost your land administration capacities. | mechanical_engineering |

https://cdn.snowpak.com/advice/5-reasons-to-buy-custom-skis | 2020-12-02T00:50:06 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2020-50/segments/1606141685797.79/warc/CC-MAIN-20201201231155-20201202021155-00652.warc.gz | 0.960697 | 1,283 | CC-MAIN-2020-50 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2020-50__0__140576197 | en | When it comes to buying skis, bigger is not always better.
source: Seneca Boards
By "bigger", we mean mass-produced – as in the kind of ski that dominates about 95% of the ski industry, and 100% of what you see stocked in your local ski shop. They're the skis that make it through hundreds of hours of engineering and crafting, testing and demo-turning to evolve into the best product on the market for mass amounts of skiers. And don't get us wrong: they're usually pretty great skis. The thing is, about ten years ago a new kind of ski climbed the ranks of the ski market: the custom ski. Born out of dissatisfaction with performance, demand for big mountain durability, and longing for personalized design, skiing enthusiasts with a knack for engineering started experimenting with building their own skis. These companies usually started as experiments out of college house garages, and with perseverance and commitment to great products, grew into highly successful businesses dedicated to making enthusiastic skiers the skis of their dreams.
There are some setbacks. One of them is cost. In general, you can expect a pair of custom skis to cash in at double the price of a mass produced pair. The upside is that the custom pair is built to last longer. Another setback is time – while it's possible to demo a pair of mass produced skis in the morning and walk out of the shop with a brand new pair of your own in the afternoon, custom skis take time. Expect to wait a matter of weeks – and sometimes months, if they're backed up – between the time of starting the design/order process to clicking in. But if you've got the time – and the investment – there's no reason you shouldn't be looking into your very own pair of custom skis. Here are five stellar reasons to buy custom skis:
1. Improved Skiing Experience
This is the big one. An improved skiing experience was the reason that companies like Igneous in Jackson Hole got into the custom ski biz. The Tetons are notorious for wrecking skis of hard charging big mountain skiers: founder Mike Parris set out in the early 1990s on a mission to develop a high quality, creative product that could carry the most serious skiers through multiple seasons. One of the first custom ski companies, Igneous set the bar for highly personalized design that caters to an individual skier's height, weight, ability, skiing style, and terrain interests. When a ski is crafted so specifically, the result is a stable, playful, intuitive connection to the slopes. Backcountry skiers can request lightweight materials, big mountain experts specialized sidewalls, and speed junkies oversized edges for maximum stability. Master craftsman will help with design, but you've got the final say in your unique product. In the end, better skis make a better skier: that's what you can expect out of custom skis.
2. Personal Flair
Have you ever chosen a pair of skis because they look cool? No? Well, plenty of us skiers have. When I was about 10 I remember feeling extremely disappointed that the Salomons I wanted that season – the ones with fire graphics on the top sheets – were out of stock. I had chosen them solely based on the cool graphics. My ski selection has matured since then, but I'd be lying if I said the graphics on a ski didn't matter to me – and I'm betting that goes for a lot of skiers. When buying custom skis, part of the process is choosing what they actually look like. Companies like Folsom in Denver take their top sheet art seriously, employing local artists to craft custom designs for their retail products. If you have your own ideas for something uniquely "you," designers welcome submission of your own graphics. You can also team up with an artist to craft something together. With custom builds, you don't have to choose between high quality product and personalized expression: the skis are entirely you.
3. Small Business Support
Supporting small businesses is not only cool – it's practical. Because of the nature of custom ski businesses, opting to purchase your pair through them directly supports the owners, artists, and community in which they all live. Custom ski companies are small operations that support the businesses in which they live by skiing and riding local resorts to test their products, employing local designers, and purchasing materials from local businesses. Companies like Praxis in North Lake Tahoe keep everything in-house: skis are designed and constructed 100% in the Incline Village warehouse, and tested on local ski hills. When you buy custom, your support stays community oriented.
4. Eco-Conscious Practices
There's a dark side to the ski industry, and that's environmental impact. In the past five years, major resorts have taken steps to decrease ecological footprints with sustainable practices – and some custom ski companies have also taken notice. Seneca, which runs out of Bozeman, prides itself on its "farm-to foot" practices, which includes using FCS certified maple and poplar woods to support sustainable harvesting and use less plastic in the skis' cores. This construction design, which is demonstrative of many custom ski companies, cuts down on plastic and therefore waste when old skis are dumped into landfills. Custom skis are also designed to last years longer than mass produced brands.
5. Commitment to Quality
Skiers love to geek out on their gear, and custom ski engineers take that to the next level. Pete Wagner, founder of Wagner Custom in Telluride, developed his signature Skier DNA Design process to craft custom skis with painstakingly serious precision. His goal was to create a "computer-assisted design and manufacturing package that could optimize shape and flex parameters for any specific skier." Today, Wagner backs its promise to quality with a money-back guarantee if a skier is not 100% satisfied with their product. In 2013, Wagner cranked out 1,000 pairs of custom skis, and were asked to rebuild 3. When you buy custom skis, you can expect a personalized, respectful exchange throughout the entire process – a commitment to quality service and quality product. | mechanical_engineering |

We attempt to use our fingers but only wind up with aching fingers, as the old adage goes: you should use the right tool for the job. In these cases the ideal tool is a spanner, but what do you do when you don’t have a spanner?
Don’t stress, we have collected a list of common household objects you can use instead of a spanner.
What is a Spanner Used for?
Spanners are available in numerous types and sizes for a variety of various tasks and are a vital part of any tool kit. Used to loosen or tighten up nuts, bolts, pipes and pipes fittings they show their effectiveness sometimes over.
What to Use if You Don’t Have a Spanner
Duct tape works in nearly any scenario but you might be surprised to find out that you can use it to loosen up bolts. First tear off a section approximately 12 inches in length, after this tear it down the middle so you are left with two 12 inch strips.
Make a strong tape strip by sticking one strip to the back (the non-sticky side), next wrap part of the strip around the nut leaving a ‘tail’ 6-8 inches long and press securely to guarantee it has abided by the metal nut. Pull the duct tape tail in the instructions required to loosen up the nut to easily remove it.
Who would think that cash can be used as a makeshift tool? Take two big coins (2 cent coins work perfectly for this) and place them on either side of the nut. Grip the coins in between the knuckles of your index and middle fingers for additional grip and twist in the direction required to loosen up the nut.
These fantastic little tool kit devices aren’t simply utilised to clean cables and attach hubcaps, they can likewise be utilised in place of a spanner.
Place the zip-tie around the nut as securely as possible and utilising the tail of the zip-tie pull in the instructions needed to loosen or tighten the nut.
Another nut and bolt
If you don’t have any of the formerly mentioned objects but have lots of nuts and bolts lying around, you can still create a makeshift spanner with 2 nuts and 2 bolts.
First, attach one of the nuts to among the bolts and place it on top of the nut you want to loosen up or tighten (so that the thread of the bolt is on top of the nut). Adjust up until the nut is grasped tightly between the head of the bolt and the nut.
Now take the 2nd nut and connect it so that you can connect the two bolts, make certain that whatever is connected tightly and turn your production in the instructions needed.
There we have it, four options you can utilize to loosen up or tighten up nuts without a spanner. With this guide, there are no more reasons for why you have not done any of the jobs you stated couldn’t be done yet due to the fact that you do not have the tools!
Naturally, it is constantly much better to have a tool kit with the basic tools required for basic DIY however with these quick fixes, you won’t be caught in a pinch again.

Radiant Floor Heating with a Flat Heater is more Efficient
According to a recent study STEP Warmfloor® was measured to be significantly more efficient than other heating systems. Francesco Schiavone, PhD, (PhD, BEng (Mech) – University of Florence, Italy, Senior Research Associate – Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Australia) compared the heat transmission from STEP Warmfloor® self‐regulating heating element with electric cable systems and water tubing systems.
His key findings was:
- To give the same heat output, an Electric Cable system would require 2.5 times more wattage
- To give the same heat output, a water tubing system (Hydronic) would require 2.08 times more wattage
How is this possible? “Watts are watts and give the same heat output.”
There is no discussion that an equal amount of wattage will generate the same energy output. So how can Francesco Schiavone claim that STEP Warmfloor® flat heating elements require less wattage to heat a floor? Is it to fantastic too be true?
Let us take an example from the kitchen that most people are familiar with; You want to boil 10 cups of water in a large pot using 1000 watts.
First you place the pot (A) on a large cooking plate, which has the same diameter as the pot. Then you place an identical pot (B), but on a smaller cooking plate. In which pot will the water boil faster?
As most of us have experienced, the stock pot (A) on the larger cooking plate will have the fastest boiling water with the same amount of energy.
It is all about distribution and transmission of heat. If you compare the surface area of a cable or water tubing with STEP Warmfloor®’s flat heating element it is similar to the different sizes of cooking plates. While cables and tubing only cover a fraction of the floor, an installation of STEP Warmfloor® flat heating element will cover more than 60% of the surface.
The challenge lies in changing the thought process from an efficient component to an efficient system. To have an efficient heating system, it is not sufficient that the heating product is good, it is as important that the heat distribution is designed properly.
For efficiency, it will also be necessary to take into consideration the location and type of construction, including thermal insulation and floor covering installed.
When Francesco Schiavone made his calculations he based it on Newton’s law. According to Newton’s law, the rate of heat transfer to the surrounding air is proportional to the floor exposed area and to the difference between the floor temperature and the air temperature.
Watt is still Watt, but when it comes to radiant heating of a house STEP Warmfloor™ is more efficient than cables and water tubing. | mechanical_engineering |

Understand the reasons why your home might be better suited to an electric
or water underfloor heating system
When it comes to creating a comfortable and efficient heating system for your home, underfloor heating is the perfect choice. Among the various types available, water-based and electric underfloor heating systems stand out as two distinct options, each with its own set of advantages and considerations. It can be difficult to identify which system is best for your home, so we have curated this simple guide to help you decide.
1. Installation and Complexity:
Water Underfloor Heating: Water-based systems involve the installation of pipes beneath the floor, through which warm water is circulated. This type of underfloor heating is typically more complex to install, often requiring professional assistance and careful integration with the existing heating system. Water underfloor heating systems often require drawings created from the buildings architectural drawings. With the pipes secured to the floor through several techniques dependent on the flooring and underfloor heating manufacturer.
Electric Underfloor Heating: Electric systems, on the other hand, consist of electric cables or mats installed beneath the floor surface. They are generally simpler and quicker to install, making them a more accessible option for DIY enthusiasts.
2. When to Choose Water Underfloor Heating:
New Builds or Renovations: Water underfloor heating is often recommended for new builds or major renovations, where the installation process can be seamlessly integrated into the construction plans for the overall building.
Whole House Heating: For larger spaces or entire houses, water underfloor heating is a preferred choice due to its ability to distribute heat more evenly. The system can be connected to a central boiler, allowing for efficient heating throughout the entire property.
Integration with Existing Heating Systems: If you already have a hydronic heating system in place, extending it to include water underfloor heating makes sense. This integration can improve energy efficiency and reduce overall heating costs.
Lower Operating Costs in the Long Run: While the initial installation cost may be higher, water underfloor heating systems can offer lower operating costs over time, especially when paired with energy-efficient boilers.
3. When to Choose Electric Underfloor Heating:
Room-by-Room Heating: Electric underfloor heating is ideal for specific rooms or areas, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or home extensions. Its simplicity makes it well-suited for targeted heating solutions.
Retrofitting: If you're looking to add underfloor heating to an existing space without undergoing major renovations, electric systems are a more practical choice. The installation process is less invasive, making it suitable for retrofitting. Electric underfloor heating often has a much lower profile than water underfloor heating, so does not increase height of the floor dramatically.
Installation Time: Electric underfloor heating can be installed rapidly. Small areas such as bathrooms could have underfloor heating installed in just a day.
Individual Temperature Control: Electric underfloor heating allows for more precise temperature control on a room-by-room basis. This is advantageous when different areas of the house have varying heating requirements.
Quick Warm-Up Time: Electric systems heat up quickly, providing almost instant warmth. This feature is beneficial for spaces where on-demand heating is desired.
4. Considerations for Both Types:
Flooring Types: Both water and electric systems are compatible with a variety of flooring types, but it's essential to consider the specific requirements and limitations for each. For example, certain electric systems may be better suited for use under tile or stone floors, you can find out more about this in our Information Hub.
Energy Efficiency: Both systems can be energy-efficient, but the overall efficiency depends on factors such as insulation, the type of flooring, and the heating demands of the space. Proper insulation is crucial to maximize the efficiency of either system. For large rooms, water underfloor heating will generally yield higher efficiency.
Cost Considerations: While electric underfloor heating systems may have lower upfront costs, water systems can offer long-term savings in terms of operational expenses. Consider your budget and long-term heating needs when making a decision.
The choice between water and electric underfloor heating ultimately depends on your specific requirements, budget, and the nature of the project. Water systems are well-suited for larger spaces and new builds, offering efficient whole-house heating. Electric systems, on the other hand, are more versatile and cost-effective for targeted heating solutions and retrofitting. Before making a decision, feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we can discuss your options further.

See shearing, hot-forging, roll threading, and hot-dip galvanizing of these 3/4″ x 24″ timber bolts. See more videos on our channel at www.youtube.com/pdxbolt.
Hello, my name is Mike Monlux with Portland Bolt & Manufacturing Co.
I’m holding in my hand a 3/4″ x 24″ galvanized timber bolt. These are also referred to as economy bolts, dome-head bolts, or mushroom head bolts. The oversized, dome-shaped head on these bolts creates a large bearing surface eliminating the need for a malleable iron washer under the head. These bolts are commonly used in marine construction and the final destination for this particular bolt is Hydaburg, Alaska.
For this order, we made over 6,000 timber bolts in various lengths, in both 3/4″ and 5/8″ diameter. Portland Bolt manufactures timber bolts for marine projects throughout the country, and even overseas. And we perform all of the manufacturing processes, including hot-dip galvanizing, right here in our facility in Portland, Oregon. Right now we’ll take you through a step-by-step look at the various manufacturing processes involved in making these bolts.
The timber bolts for this order are manufactured from A36 mild steel material, which we receive in 20-foot lengths from a steel mill just down the road in McMinnville, Oregon. After the steel is taken off the racks, the first step in the manufacturing process is cutting the bars of steel to length. This is done by shearing the steel, a process which cuts the steel extremely efficiently, chopping the steel like a guillotine.
The next step in making timber bolts, is to hot-forge the head of the bolt. An induction heating coil heats the end of the round bar to approximately 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The timber bolt head is then forged onto the heated end of the bar. After the bolts are headed, they move on to threading.
There are two distinctly different ways that bolts can be threaded: cut threading and roll threading. These bolts will be roll threaded. Roll threading is an extrusion process in which steel round bar is forced between two dies to form the threaded portion of the bolt, instead of being removed as in cut threading. Roll threading is another very efficient operation, which results in a cost savings for the customer.
Now that the bolts have been made, the final step is to galvanize them in our hot-dip galvanizing tank. Before the bolts are dipped in zinc, however, they must be prepared so that the steel bonds properly with the zinc.
The pickling process involves submerging the bolts in caustic soda, rinsing them, and submerging them in sulfuric acid. These processes remove any scale and prepares the surface of the steel to accept the zinc. The bolts are then placed in our hot-dip galvanizing tank, which is filled with 840 degree molten zinc.
After the bolts are removed from the zinc, they are spun in a high-speed, centrifuge system to spin any excess zinc from the threads, so that they easily accept a nut. The bolts are then cooled in quench tanks, and inspected to ensure that the excess zinc has been properly spun out of the threads.
The bolts are then put in boxes, palletized, and marked clearly with the destination, contents, and any other relevant information. The order is then put on a truck, on the day we’ve promised to ship, and sent on its way, to its final destination.

We use Kidspark Mobile STEM Labs to achieve this goal.
The most effective way to close the STEM achievement gap is to expose young children to STEM subjects as soon as they enter their first classroom and to continue offering applied STEM experiences every year. Edupstairs STEM programs do just that. They are designed to follow learners through their entire primary and higher primary-school careers, starting with grade R’s and continuing with progressive STEM learning all the way through 9th grade.
Our aim with the STEM Program is to help learners feel confident and capable in solving everyday challenges through technology. Our grades R to 9 STEM education programs are a fun and effective way to develop learners’ STEM identity and technology fluency.
Seeing one’s self as being capable of learning and understanding science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The confidence and skills to creatively author with technology to solve real-world problems and design new solutions
From how we communicate to the ways we access information and entertainment, we’re living in a technological world, and young people with the skills and drive to pursue STEM subjects will be the innovators who shape our shared future. These skills are vital to all youth, no matter what path they take in life. By developing our learners’ love for science and technology today, we’re helping to ensure they are able to thrive tomorrow.
Edupstairs STEM education programs will help prepare our learners in disadvantaged communities for a lifetime of interest in science and technology. Each program is comprised of progressive units of instruction that guide learners through four principal learning phases:
Phase 1 – Foundational Fluencies (Grades R-2): Learners develop foundational capacities prerequisite to all STEM learning, like spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and symbolization.
Phase 2 – STEM Fundamentals (Grades 3-5): Learners begin exploring applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, and robotics. They gain confidence in their ability to use technology to design solutions to problems.
Phase 3 – Applications in Design & Engineering (Grades 6-9): Learners explore challenging STEM concepts from their everyday world, authoring with technology to solve problems and create new solutions.
Phase 4 – Systems of Technology (Grades 6-9): Learners use multiple technologies to create system solutions, including mechanical and structural engineering, computer-aided design and 3D printing, and programmable robotics.
In this challenge, teams will develop an automated gate that is controlled using the ROKduino programmable robotics controller and a bump sensor. Throughout the challenge, learners will brainstorm ideas, create prototypes, and carry out investigations as they develop a solution to the challenge.
In this challenge, teams will create an automated, movable bridge. Teams will be required to utilize a pair of light gates (using transmitters and receivers) to complete the challenge.
In this challenge, teams will apply mathematics and computational thinking skills as they create a retractable sports field that can move inside and outside of a stadium on command. Teams will utilize light sensors to position the field inside or outside of the stadium.

Tessema, Solomon B
Anguma, Simon Katrini
MetadataShow full item record
In this paper, we present the complete structure of a quasi-Keplerian thin accretion disk with an internal dynamo around a magnetized neutron star. We assume a full quasi-Keplerian disk with the azimuthal velocity deviating from the Keplerian fashion by a factor of ξ (0 < ξ < 2). In our approach, we vertically integrate the radial component of the momentum equation to obtain the radial pressure gradient equation for a thin quasi-Keplerian accretion disk. Our results show that, at large radial distance, the accretion disk behaves in a Keplerian fashion. However, close to the neutron star, pressure gradient force (PGF) largely modifies the disk structure, resulting into sudden dynamical changes in the accretion disk. The corotation radius is shifted inward (outward) for ξ > 1 (for ξ < 1), and the position of the inner edge with respect to the new corotation radius is also relocated accordingly, as compared to the Keplerian model. The resulting PGF torque couples with viscous torque (when ξ < 1) to provide a spin-down torque and a spin-up torque (when ξ > 1) while in the advective state. Therefore, neglecting the PGF, as has been the case in previous models, is a glaring omission. Our result has the potential to explain the observable dynamic consequences of accretion disks around magnetized neutron stars.

A May 2021 National Law Review (NLR) article calls into question the safety of some of America’s favorite pressure cookers. Pressure cookers combine high heat and high pressure to save time cooking meals.
Pressure cookers, insta-posts, and similar kitchen devices have become quite trendy in recent years. Unfortunately, as their popularity grows, more and more people are suffering severe injuries because of pressure cooker explosions.
Some injured victims of pressure cooker explosions have filed lawsuits against manufacturers, alleging they were defective and dangerous. If you suffered serious injuries from a defective pressure cooker, you might be entitled to file a lawsuit and collect substantial damages for those injuries.
How Do Pressure Cookers Work?
Pressure cookers work by using pressure and heat to quickly break down and flavor the foods that are cooking inside the pot. They cook under high heat and high pressure.
Pressure cookers have various safety features that are supposed to prevent accidents and injuries. Because of the high pressure, however, if any of the safety valves or other parts do not work properly, the result can be a dangerous explosion that propels the scorching contents and parts of the pressure cooker in all directions, causing serious burns and other injuries.
How Can Pressure Cooker Explosions Cause Injuries?
When a pressure cooker explodes, the lid blows off the top, sending extremely hot contents into the air. Anyone nearby can suffer severe burns when it with hot food and liquid.
The lid itself can cause also injuries when it flies into the air, hitting innocent victims in the eyes, head or other body parts. Pieces of debris can become embedded in the victims causing severe lacerations and other injuries.
According to NLR, the people have allegedly suffered some of the following injuries and required medical treatments because of exploding pressure cookers:
- Third-degree burns
- Second degree burns
- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) and concussion
- Broken bones
- Permanent scarring
- Skin grafts
- Painful debridement
- Eye injuries, including temporary and permanent loss of vision
- Blood loss
These injuries can happen to the person using the pressure cooker as well as others in a vicinity when an explosion occurs.
Pressure Cooker Lawsuits are Being Filed By Victims Who Suffered Serious Injuries
There is, according to the NLR, quite a long list of lawsuits that injured victims have filed against the makers of pressure cookers. The writer states, “in many of these lawsuits, claimants have argued that some design or manufacturing defect led to the explosion and its subsequent injuries.”
Some individuals claim the combination of built-up pressure and faulty safety features caused their injures. Others suggest that the manufacturers should be liable for selling defectively designed pressure cookers. Some lawsuits claim that the defective pressure cookers that caused their injuries were the result of negligence.
There have been lawsuits filed related to some of the following pressure cooker brands:
- Crock Pot
- Instant Pot
- Wolfgang puck pressure cooker
- QVC electric pressure cooker
- Tristar power pressure cooker
Under various laws, manufacturers must ensure that their products are safe for their intended use. When a person uses the product as instructed, and injuries result, the victim often tries to prove that the manufacturer was negligent by making and selling a defective product. The injured victim might be able to collect compensation for their injuries.
These lawsuits are personal injury claims but can be more specifically referred to as product liability claims, defective product lawsuits, or design defect cases.
Are You Eligible to File a Pressure Cooker Lawsuit?
Ask yourself some questions:
- Did my pressure cooker malfunction and cause injuries?
- Was I burned by my insta-pot?
- Did my crockpot explode?
- Did I use my pressure cooker properly and get hurt?
- Did the instructions warn me about the dangers of using the pressure cooker?
- Have my injuries required medical treatments, caused me to lose income, and caused physical and/or emotional pain and suffering?
After answering these questions, consider seeking legal counsel to find out if you are entitled to file a lawsuit against the maker and manufacturer of the pressure cooker that caused your injuries.

Winter is most certainly here on The Ridge. With a foot or better of snowpack on the ground and daily temperatures struggling to reach double digits, Old Man Winter snuck up on me this morning and gave me a friendly kick in the rear end.
“Hope you didn’t need water this morning, Johnny!” he said, as I turned the kitchen faucet on. Nothing. Not even a drip. We were, as my dad would like to say, froze up.
My wife asked, “Do you think the bulb blew out in the well house?” Sudden fear gripped me as I realized I hadn’t turned the light back on after an unseasonably warm 20 degree afternoon several days ago. We watch every bit of energy we use, Maine’s soaring electricity costs being a constant challenge in a rural area.
The well house is a smallish structure roughly four feet square across the driveway and about fifty feet from the cabin. It houses our above ground jet well pump and tank. While insulated when initially built, the field mice have had their run at it for years and the evidence of their nefarious activities litters the floor from time to time.
In addition to insulating the structure, we use a single incandescent bulb in the secondary enclosure during the dead of winter to keep the well pump and lines from freezing. This isn’t the most desired solution I know, but when you live out here you just do what works.
And it does work, when you remember the light.
As I pulled my boots on, I ran through the possible scenarios. Where is the freeze up? Did the water line under the house freeze? If so, how can I get under there with 2 feet of frozen snow pack drifted up to the access door? Maybe it’s just the well pump frozen? If so, how am I going to thaw it out?
Lastly, the biggest and scariest question of them all; What if the pipe split from freezing? It’s one thing to get the freeze up thawed out. If that pipe or well head is damaged, I’m really going to be in trouble.
I headed into the shop in search of the Mr Heater. This marvelous invention is a must have out here in the Maine woods. It is a simple propane burner and igniter head that attaches right to a 20lb propane grill tank. I use it to heat small spaces outside on the property when I’m working, to warm the engine block of my diesel tractor in the winter and as back up heat source in the shop.
I grabbed the heater and headed to the well house figuring I’d hope for the best, that the well motor was frozen and all the lines were intact. I opened the secondary enclosure inside the house and peered in. No light on and the pressure gauge on the pump pegged to the red line.
I lit the heater and set it on the low setting. If the metal on the pump housing heats too rapidly it could crack. Similarly, if the water in the lines heats too rapidly the result is hot steam. That also can cause damage to the lines. I positioned the heater in a corner and closed the door.
Back inside the cabin, my wife and I opened some faucets and crossed our fingers. Opening the faucets would help the water expand as the freeze up melted. We still didn’t know if the freeze was all the way through the lines, so it seemed a good idea to be safe. We settled by the wood stove, thankful it was a Sunday and wondering when and if the water would return.
As I ran through my mental check list of supplies I might need and various repairs I might need to make, the tell tale whoosh of running water came from the bathroom faucet. Only twenty minutes had passed. We had water!
While happy to have running water again, I was cautiously optimistic. I still had to check the lines and pump to see if there was any damage or leaks. Back to the well house I went.
I checked the pump housing and lines inside the well house. No cracks or visible damage to the lines were present. I monitored the pressure gauge after the water pressure had built back up and the motor shut off. If there was a break or leak under the driveway or under the house, the pressure indicated on the gauge would slowly drop as the water leaked out. After 15 minutes I was satisfied we didn’t have any breaks. I turned off the heater and pulled the string for the well light.
As I walked through the front door, my wife was putting a fresh pot of coffee on for me. We looked at each other and grinned. We had gotten lucky this time. | mechanical_engineering |

Related Machines of Fish Feed Wet Extrusion
Feed grinder→Feed mixer→wet type Fish feed extruder→Pellets dryer→Automatic weighing and packing machine
- Material grinding—feed hammer mill
Raw material ingredients should be grinded to the required size by feed grinder. We supply three types of feed grinders to meet your different requirements: ZW-A series feed Hammer Mill is suitable for small or medium sized feed extruding factories; ZW-C Series feed Hammer mill is used for grinding raw materials by large and medium livestock and aqua feed mills; ZW-B series hammer mill, also called Wide chamber Fine feed Hammer Mill, is mainly applied to fine grinding of meals for special aqua feed.
- Material mixing—feed mixer
Mixing the material thoroughly can ensure extruding efficiency and improve the feed quality. We supply two kinds of feed mixers for you to choose: double-shaft efficient mixer can be applied to mixing powdery, granular, flaky and blocky materials while feed ribbon type mixer is mostly used for mixing powdery materials. These two kinds of mixers can be customized with atomizing spraying system which will add liquid like molasses and grease to material more evenly.
- Extruding process—Wet type floating feed pellet extruder
The wet typefish feed machineis with the conditioner and need to equip the steam boiler. Capacity of wet type fish feed extruder is higher than dry type ones, so usually the wet type extruder machine is suitable for large feed pellet factory.
- Pellets drying—feed pellet dryer
Our mesh belt dryer is a continuous convective belt dryer. Pellets formed through the extruder are stacked in layers on a wire mesh or perforated plate belt conveyor and conveyed continuously through drying chambers. During this process, the drying air is passed repeatedly through the products layer until pellets have the optimum moisture content before leaving the dryer. While if you choose wet type fish feed machine, we recommend the gas type pellet dryer.
- Pellet packing—electronic packing machine
To make the finished pellets easy to store, transport and catch the clients’ eyes, they should be packed properly. With our electronic weighing and packing machine, the finished pellets can be packed into bags, weighed, conveyed, and sealed automatically, which saves labor and time greatly and meet the requirements of large scale production. For this packing machine, automatic heat typing code, automatic bag sewing and automatic thread cutting can be optional functions. | mechanical_engineering |

The original sewer line is more than half a century old, undersized and lies deep beneath Central Ave. The location and depth presented significant challenges to up-sizing the pipe. The City chose pipe bursting as the lowest cost and least invasive method of increasing the sewer line's capacity. Pipe bursting essentially bursts the old pipe by pulling a cutter head followed by the new large pipe through the old pipe, pushing the crushed pipe debris of the old pipe into the ground surrounding the pipe. The additional capacity should reduce the chance of sewer backups in extreme rain events. | mechanical_engineering |

GREASE TRAP CLEANING SERVICE
Grease trap is a gravity device that traps the grease and solids before entering the sewer lines. Grease traps are typically located inside the facility varying in sizes that are typically 50 gallons or below. Due to its small capacity content level, they are usually serviced between 2-8 weeks, Depending on the amount of content going through the device this will determine how often the grease trap will be serviced.
GREASE INTERCEPTOR PUMPING SERVICE
When it comes to FSE’s (Food Servicing Establishments) the grease interceptor is basically the heart of the facility. Failing to properly clean or completely pump out the interceptor can lead to major problems such kitchen drain back up or grease interceptor overflow. Most municipalities will require interceptors to be pumped when it reaches 25-30% of combined grease and solid content or at least every 6 months. Call us today for a quote.

Although some checks may involve the pupil opening the bonnet to identify where fluid levels would be checked, you will not be asked to touch a hot engine or physically check fluid levels.
As vehicle technology advances, more and more vehicles are being equipped with electronic diagnostic systems, which inform the driver of the state of the engine fluid levels and tyre pressures. It will be acceptable for a candidate to refer to the vehicle information system (if fitted) when answering questions on fluid levels or tyre pressures.
You will be asked two questions, one 'show me' and one 'tell me'. One or both questions answered incorrectly will result in one driving fault being recorded.
Tell Me Questions
Q1. Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine oil level and tell me how you would check that the engine has sufficient oil.
A. Identify dipstick/oil level indicator, then explain that you would remove the dipstick, wipe with a clean cloth, replace the dipstick fully, remove again and check oil level against the markers. This is best done when the vehicle has stood on level ground for more than 30 mins.
Q2. Open the bonnet, identify where you would check the engine coolant level and tell me how you would check that the engine has the correct level.
A. Identify high/low level markings on header reservoir tank or radiator filler cap, and describe how to top up to correct level.
Q3. Open the bonnet, identify where the brake fluid reservoir is, and tell me how you would check that you have a safe level of hydraulic brake fluid.
A. Identify reservoir, check level against high/low markings.
Q4. Identify where the windscreen washer reservoir is, and tell me how you would check the windscreen washer level.
A. Identify reservoir and explain how to check level and top up as necessary.
Q5. Tell me how you would check that the brakes are working before starting a journey.
A. Brakes should not feel spongy or slack (indicates low brake fluid). Brakes should be tested as you set off and the vehicle should not pull to one side.
Q6. Tell me where you would find the information for the recommended tyre pressures for this car and how tyre pressures should be checked.
A. Look in the manufacturer's guidebook or on the car door pillar, use a reliable pressure gauge, check and adjust pressures when tyres are cold, not forgetting the spare tyre and remember to refit dust valve caps afterwards.
Q7. Tell me how you would check the tyres to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that their general condition is safe to use on the road
A. No cuts or bulges, 1.6mm of tread depth across the central ¾ of the breadth of the tyre and around the entire outer circumference.
Q8. Tell me how you make sure your head restraint is correctly adjusted so it provides the best protection in the event of a crash.
A. The head restraint should be adjusted so the rigid part of the head restraint is at least as high as the eye or top of the ears, and as close to the back of the head as is comfortable. N.B. Some restraints might not be adjustable.
Q9. Tell me how you would know if there was a problem with your anti-lock braking system.
A. Warning light on the instrument panel (near speedometer) should illuminate if there is a fault with the anti-lock braking system.
Q10. Tell me how you would check that the headlights and tail lights are working (no need to exit the vehicle).
A. Explain how to operate light switch (turn on ignition if necessary), walk around vehicle checking each side light, dipped headlight and taillights. (As this is a 'Tell Me' question there is no need to physically check the lights).
Show Me Questions
Q11. Show me/explain how you would check that the power assisted steering is working before starting a journey.
A. If the steering becomes heavy the system may not be working properly. Before starting a journey two simple checks can be made. Gentle pressure on the steering wheel, maintained while the engine is started, should result in a slight but noticeable movement as the system begins to operate. Alternatively, turning the steering wheel just after moving off will give an immediate indication that the power assistance is functioning.
Q12. Show me how you would check that the direction indicators are working.
A. Press the hazard warning switch (which will operate all indicators) and walk around the vehicle to check functioning of all indicators.
Q13. Show me how you would check that the horn is working (off-road only).
A. Check is carried out by pressing the horn control on your steering wheel (turn on ignition if necessary).
Q14. Show me how you would check the parking brake (handbrake) for excessive wear, make sure you keep safe control of the vehicle.
A. Apply footbrake firmly. Demonstrate by applying parking brake (handbrake) that when it is fully applied it secures itself, and is not at the end of it's working travel, release the brake pedal to finish the demonstration.
Q15. Show me how you would check that the brake lights are working on this car. (I can assist you if you need to switch the ignition on, please don't start the engine).
A. Operate brake pedal, make use of reflections in windows, garage doors, another car bodies paintwork etc, or ask someone to look whilst you operate the brake pedal. (You may need to switch the ignition on but DO NOT start the engine).
Q16. Show me how you would clean the windscreen using the windscreen washer and wipers.
A. Operate control to wash and wipe windscreen (turn ignition on if necessary).
Q17. Show me how you would set the demister controls to clear all the windows effectively, this should include both front and rear screens.
A. Set all relevant controls including; fan, temperature, air direction/source and heated screen to clear windscreen and windows. (Engine does not have to be started for this demonstration).
Q18. Show me how you would switch on the rear fog light(s) and explain when you would use it/them. (No need to exit vehicle, Please don't start the engine.)
A. Operate switch (turn on dipped headlights and ignition if necessary). Check warning light is on. Explain use (you would switch the rear fog lights on when visibility is below 100m, otherwise it will dazzle the drivers behind).
Q19. Show me how you switch your headlight from dipped to main beam and explain how you would know the main beam is on whilst inside the car.
A. Operate switch (with ignition or engine on if necessary), check with main beam warning light which is coloured blue on the instrument panel.

Since light consists of waves, the theoretical resolution of a telescope depends on its aperture. Unfortunately, turbulences of the atmosphere limit the resolution even of the largest telescopes to 0.6″ – 1.0″. With Adaptive Optics one can reach the diffraction limit, i.e. better resolution (about 0.1″, depending on the wavelength and aperture size). Using astronomical interferometry these limits can be overcome. An astro-interferometer consists of two or more distant telescopes the gathered light of which can interfere with each other. This way a resolution can be achieved close to the limiting resolution of single telescopes with their apertures equal to the separation between the two telescopes of the interferometer.
The light from a star that will be combined in an interferometer must propagate through two different passages of equal length (Fig. 1). “Equal” means, the difference must be clearly smaller than the wavelength of the light. To achieve this, several high-precision controlling systems are used to compensate for earth's movement and atmospheric turbulences. Such controllers cannot yet compensate for all vibrations.
|Fig. 1: Main principle of an astro-interferometer|
One of the biggest interferometers in the world is the “Very Large Telescope Interferometer” (VLTI) of the European Southern Observatory ESO in Chile.
Fast mechanical vibrations, originating in the VLTI infrastructure cause fast and large changes of the Optical Path Difference (OPD) [1, 2]. Their compensation is required in order to access the full sensitivity of the instrument. In the joined project MAMMUT (Mirror vibrAtion Metrology systeM for the Unit Telescope) of the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena (Astrophysical Institute and Institute of Applied Physics) and ESO, a system was developed aimed at evaluating the potential of telecom fiber technology for mirror vibration sensing.
The ultimate goal is to monitor the OPD changes between mirrors number 2 (M2) and 9 (M9, Coudé room) of the Unit Telescope (UT, Fig. 2). As a result of the initial study phase, we have built and tested a 250+250-meter-long actively stabilized fiber interferometer which can be used as a coherent beacon for mirror vibration metrology by means of active homodyne detecion .
|Fig. 2: MAMMUT will measure vibrations occuring between M2 and Coudé focus (based on a figure from “The VLT White Book”, ESO 1998)|
To benchmark the performance of MAMMUT several minimal requirements have been selected at the beginning of the project:
Operation wavelengths: 1353 nm & 1368 nm
Measured frequency range: 1 – 100 Hz
Maximum acceptable power spectral density (PSD) of noise in the measurements: ≤ 1 nm²/Hz (in the range of 1 – 100 Hz)
Maximum detectable stroke: ≥ ±5 µm, excluding DC component
MAMMUT consists of two units: an actively stabilized fiber interferometer ('beacon') and a Fringe Sensor Unit (FSU). The system uses two laser diodes operating at close wavelengths in the near-IR J band (λ1, λ2).
|Fig. 3: Conceptual scheme of the laboratory prototype of MAMMUT. Main subsystems: Source Unit (SU), Active Phase Control Unit (APCU), Free-Space Propagation Unit (FSPU), and Fringe Sensor Unit (FSU)|
Internal metrology of the fiber interferometer:
λ1 (green in Fig. 3) is reflected by Fiber Bragg Gratings and recombined at the Phase Measurement Unit (PHAMU) of the Active Phase Control Unit (APCU). The calculated OPD is used by a PID controller to drive the Fiber Stretcher.
Mirror vibration measurement:
λ2 (red in Fig. 3) is injected into Free-Space Propagation Unit (FSPU) and coupled back into the input fiber of the FSU, where it is mixed with the reference channel provided by the second arm of the interferometer. By means of active homodyne technique the FSU calculates the phase distortions experienced at the FSPU from the feedback signal applied to the electro-optical modulator (EOM) .
The software for controlling MAMMUT was realized using LabVIEW™ and runs on a Real-time Desktop PC (LabVIEW™ is a trademark of National Instruments. This publication is independent of National Instruments, which is not affiliated with the publisher or the author, and does not authorize, sponsor, endorse or otherwise approve this publication).
The prototype of MAMMUT was delivered to the ESO and is now (2012) at the VLT on Cerro Paranal for evaluation and testing.

Depending on what you are looking for in a water treatment product, they might not be. Without the proper information, you may end up with a water treatment system that doesn’t fit your needs.
Water Conditioner vs Water Softeners – The Basics
A water conditioner, sometimes incorrectly referred to as a “salt-free water softener”, does address some of the problems associated with hard water, but they do not produce soft water. A water conditioner works to temporarily change the chemistry of hardness particles, resulting in a reduction of scale build-up in plumbing, for a certain amount of time. A water conditioner will remove additional chemicals, such as chlorine, from your water, and wastes less water than a water softener.
Conversely, a water softener removes hardness particles from your water. The result is a reduction of scale build-up on fixtures and appliances, softer skin and hair, and reduced soap and detergent use.
How Does a Water Softener Work?
A water softener uses an ion exchange process to remove hardness particles, such as calcium, magnesium, and limestone, from your water. As hard water passes through a bed of softening resin, hardness minerals are attracted to the resin and removed from the water. Over time, the resin becomes covered in these minerals and needs to be cleaned – this process is called regeneration. During regeneration, the water softener is flooded with water from the brine tank. The saltwater cleans the hardness minerals off the resin and flushes them down the drain, leaving the resin clean and ready to soften water again.
How Does a Water Conditioner Work?
A water conditioner “conditions” water by changing the chemistry of hardness particles for a certain amount of time. There are several types of water conditioners, using a variety of technologies. Here are examples of the most types of water conditioners.
- Electrically induced precipitation uses an electrical current to precipitate water hardness compounds. The hardness precipitate forms a soft sludge on an electrode that must be cleaned from time to time.
- Electrochemical water treatment uses electricity to dissolve hardness minerals and other contaminants in water.
- Template-assisted crystallization uses surface-treated resin beads to convert dissolved hardness ions into microscopic scale-resistant crystals. This type of system does not remove hardness.
- Magnetic water treatment passes hard water through a magnetic field to form microscopic crystals that will not form scale on plumbing and fixtures. There is no consensus on the effectiveness of this type of treatment.
Salt-free Water Softeners
Sometimes water conditioners are referred to as salt-free water softeners. This is an incorrect and misleading title. The truth is, there is no such thing as a salt-free water softener. Salt is an integral part of a water softener’s regeneration process and without it, a water softener would stop working effectively.
Remember that water conditioners are installed to stop build-up in plumbing, not soften your water. Their effectiveness ranges greatly, depending on which technology they are built upon. It is important that consumers who are interested in water conditioners thoroughly consider what their water treatment concerns are, and investigate the product claims of the system they are considering.
If you are considering a water treatment system, of any kind, an important first step is to have your water tested. A test performed by a water treatment expert will determine the condition of your source water and help you to determine which system is right for you. Your local Water Depot Water Treatment Experts perform free in-house or in-store water testing for water hardness, iron levels, pH level, total dissolved solids, clarity, colour, and odour.

There is no need to worry; the systems usually experience problems with time. Like any other system you have in your home; the air conditioner is bound to breakdown at times. If you installed the system ten years ago, then it also means that it may require replacement in the next few years. During the installations, repair, or replacements, you may need to hire an air conditioning company to help. The company you hire to work in your system determines greatly whether it will work or not. As you search for the best air conditioning system, here are a few things you should look out for.
Experience and licensing
Your air conditioning system may be the most expensive device in your home. You should make sure that whoever works on it has the right training on how it is designed and how it works. All air conditioning companies should have proper licenses to be allowed to offer their services in your area. So, before you begin the consultations, make sure that you check they have a valid license. They should also have vast experience in the industry to ensure that they offer you 100 percent satisfaction with their services. A vastly experienced air conditioning company can provide you with high-quality work since they have gained a lot of knowledge during the years they have been in the industry. Besides, make sure that they have an insurance cover that protects you against liabilities and other issues that may occur as they work on your system.
Referrals and references
Another way you can spot the best air conditioning and heating specialists in Cairns is through referrals and references. You need to ask about the quality of the services they provide and the level of efficiency. You should ask if the company did high-quality installations and showed respect to the property owners. This is the best way to understand the company’s reputation because you get information from people who have worked with them on their projects. Check whether there are complaints about them and also how they react to negative comments that may be given by their clients.
Cost of the services
It is also good to consider the price your potential air conditioning company charges for the services they provide. The company you hire should charge a price that matches the budget you have set aside for the work. It is necessary you take into consideration the quality of work provided, even as you consider pricing. If you focus solely on price, you may end up choosing a cheap company offering low-quality air conditioning services. Get full quotes during the consultation process so that you do not get bombarded by hidden costs, increasing the price at the end of the project.
Working with an air conditioning company located nearest your home is the best option. This ensures that in case an issue arises, you can call them and access your property fast. Working with a local air conditioning system also ensures that you can develop a better working relationship that enables them to charge you a discounted price for the airconditioning services provided. In case of an emergency, you can also get quick help when you work with a local company. | mechanical_engineering |

Further adding complexity, 3D-printing procedures don’t translate comparably with conventional manufacturing technology always, once the material output is virtually exactly the same even. This is typically because of the dissimilar build parameters, environment, and material delivery methodology. To learn the nuances, you must grasp the basics behind each technologies and know the full spectral range of available material options.
This article can help you determine the technologies and materials that are right for your application. Many 3D-printing processes are in use today, but for the purposes of this article, we will only touch on the most commonly used in design and manufacturing engineering today: photocuring, filament deposition, polymer laser sintering, and direct metal laser beam sintering.
This band of 3D-printing processes employs liquid photopolymer resins which are solidified and cured with ultraviolet (UV) light, to serve as models mostly, light-duty prototypes, and patterns for secondary casting. Photopolymers differ in colour, transparency, and mechanical and thermal attributes, which range from low-temperature soft and versatile elastomers to tough and rigid nanocomposites in a position to withstand elevated temperatures. For example, Somos NanoTool, a composite stereolithography (SL) material, has a heat deflection of up to 437°F at 66 psi.
An advantage of photocuring is the refined quality of the output. Photocuring processes produce parts with smooth surfaces and fine-feature detail-16-micron layer elevation with PolyJet-ideal for aesthetic plus cosmetic applications. However , UV durability and balance falls short for high-efficiency and end-use product applications. Continued contact with UV light causes photocured objects to become brittle and change in appearance. In addition, some materials can lose shape and dimensional accuracy from humidity absorption and sag or creep from prolonged stress.
The two nearly all used photocuring technologies are PolyJet and SL widely. PolyJet deposits tiny droplets of photopolymer and treatments the thin layers with UV lighting simultaneously. This process can print in a very high resolution with layer thicknesses as thin as 16 microns, which minimizes post-processing. Also called multi-jet printing, PolyJet is one of the only technologies with the ability to print multiple materials in one print with varying durometers.
On the other hand, SL builds 3D objects layer upon layer by using an UV laser to draw and solidify cross-sectional slices in a vat of liquid resin. It as well can produce smooth components requiring minimal finishing, but will not offer multi-material printing. Multi-jetting and SL have minimal shrink-associated deformation typically. Finally, both processes are perfect for producing casting patterns targeted at silicone urethane and tooling casting, and sacrificial patterns for expense casting.
Guided by software- generated toolpaths, the filament-deposition processes develop 3D objects by drawing cross-sectional slices of parts one upon another via a heated extruder head. One chief advantage of filament deposition is the ability to produce strong and durable functional prototypes and end-use parts in a variety of high-performance materials popular in typical machining and molding manufacturing procedures.
Fused deposition modeling (FDM) may be the many mature and widely followed filament deposition process. FDM can maintain dimensional accuracy over length while having the opportunity to save material and weight. Some companies will post a general tolerance of ±0. 008 inches; however , it’s hard to give an exact number or even a range because of this accuracy because it depends upon the machine, material, geometry, and size of the part. In addition, FDM is less prone to warp and curl than laser sintering.
The most significant drawback of filament deposition is the pronounced layer ranges in the surface of its output. It necessitates even more effort than various other 3D-printing technologies to even the areas and create aesthetic qualities much like conventional manufacturing procedures, such as for example injection molding. Additionally , applications that demand airtight or watertight functionality may necessitate a denser build style, which increases build time and material consumption, and/or software of a sealant to alleviate surface porosity.
Polymer Laser Sintering
These practical processes fuse or melt powdered polymers and composites with a low wattage CO2 laser that sinters cross-sections of 3D objects layer upon layer. Polymer laser-sintering (LS) materials mainly have bases of Nylon 12 and Nylon 11, with a number of filler options such as for example glass beads, mineral fibers, and carbon fiber, which supply substantial durability and strength for useful prototyping and end-use part creation.
Other specialty materials that assist niche applications include thermoplastic elastomer, which can have rubber-like qualities for prototype hoses, grommets and seals. Also, low-density polystyrene infiltrated with wax can offer as a low-ash expense casting.
Another benefit of LS is that 3D objects are self-supporting within the construct chamber, enabling three-dimensional nesting. Efficient and affordable production of complex geometries with internal cavities and channels are feasible with LS without the need to remove supports.
The thermal nature of the process and absence of supports to anchor laser-sintered objects makes them more prone to warp during the build or cool- down cycle. In addition, an inverse relationship often exists between your mechanical strength and dimensional precision of the output. Laser energy and build chamber temperature boost to optimize particle adhesion, and create a stronger part. However , increased temperatures and power could cause expansion; the walls and top features of a right part may become oversized, warp, and curl. Generally, dimensional problems arise with higher laser-power and powder-bed temps. That’s because more of the surrounding powder sticks to the sintered/melted part, which causes the surfaces to grow and walls to thicken.
This commonly results in fitment problems with mating parts. Yet, encountered LS operators might be able to adjust laser offsets, adjust build orientation, and change the design to work much better with the process.
Direct Metal Laser Sintering
Using an yttrium-aluminum-garnet-fiber laser, generally referred to as a YAG-fiber laser, metal laser-sintering systems essentially micro-weld powdered metals and alloys layer upon coating to produce fully dense 3D objects with qualities similar to castings. Through post processes, such as heat-treating and scorching isostatic pushing (HIP), it’s possible to boost metallurgical properties for high-performance programs.
There are several benefits to direct-metal-laser-sintering (DMLS) forms of processes more than conventional manufacturing methodologies, like their ability to produce complicated contoured geometries without too much tooling or programming costs. The additive nature of 3D printing saves weight and materials , and offers greener manufacturing in comparison to casting and deductive processes.
In addition , 3D printing can consolidate assemblies, reducing the real number of components that may reduce work cost and fasteners, and simplify a product. Benefiting from these features with the DMLS process is ideal for low-volume manufacturing of end-use parts and products, and high-performance functional prototypes.
On the downside, the learning curve to build quality DMLS products and parts is substantial. An educated technician or designer should comprehend how to work with a CAD design to verify a print is economically practical before it would go to print. An experienced operator will have to develop effective build ways of mitigate warping and minimize assistance structures. Furthermore, for optimal dimensional accuracy, smooth surface finishing, and tiny features, DMLS users often have to utilize more sophisticated post-processing and finishing systems, such as CNC machining, wire EDM, chemical etching, liquid honing, tumbling, media blasting or coating.
A trained staff can display screen and qualify the very best materials and processes for every customer’s specific programs and needs. There isn’t an individual technology well-suited for every program, and there isn’t usually a clear-cut answer for a customer’s specific needs. Often multiple options could work, each with a different set of pros and cons. The following seven considerations will help you qualify and disqualify procedures and materials for every of your unique projects:
1 . Program: What is the goal of the object?
The intent for 3D-printed objects could range between aesthetic show models and mock-ups, to functional prototypes, R&D test pieces, or end-use production parts and products. The requirements of each of these applications can vary greatly, and therefore are better suited to some processes. It boils down to cosmetic often, dimensional, or performance requirements.
2 . Efficiency: What does the part should do?
A 3D-printed part may should just hold form as a static design or bear a detailed resemblance to a conventionally manufactured product with fine detail and smooth surfaces. In this case, PolyJet or stereolithography may be the ideal process. Hard-working parts that must bear a load or resist impact could be better suitable for the FDM procedure. If the application involves simple fit or long lasting living hinge, LS may be the better option.
3. Stability: In what atmosphere does the part have to function?
The necessity to maintain properties and function in higher temperatures rules out some 3D-printing processes and materials. In addition , outdoor applications need an UV-stable material such as for example acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA) or durable laser-sintered nylon with an UV-inhibitive coating. Photopolymers won’t work very well for outdoor environments because they react to UV light. Moisture is another common factor that adversely affects many materials. If biocompatibility is essential for a surgical device, metals then, such as for example titanium Ti-64 for electron or DMLS beam melting may be the best, if not the only real, option.
4. Durability: Just how long does the part have to last?
The number and duration useful cycles can eliminate some processes and materials. For example , a 3D- printed mold or form tool may need to go through hundreds of cycles and withstand prolonged stress and friction, whereas a fit-check prototype may only need to function once. Photopolymer materials are often effective for short-term, low-stress applications and are struggling to withstand prolonged stress typically. Built thermoplastics from the FDM and LS procedures can serve many useful prototyping and end-use reasons for increased cycle life.
5. Aesthetics: How does it have to look and feel?
It is possible to generally expect photocured 3D items to be fairly smooth and also have high resolution right off of the machine, and can easily be hand-finished to a cosmetic state. While thermoplastic and powdered plastic processes such as FDM and LS produce stronger and more durable parts, cosmetically they shall require even more labor and skill to attain a smooth surface, resulting in higher costs and increased prospect time. With the tough alloys and metals of DMLS, it takes much more time, effort, and expertise to produce a polished look.
6. Economics: What is your budget, timeline, and quality expectation?
In case you have a firmly capped budget, the decision may be on price rather than other factors. Time and quality come in conflict collectively often; rapid turnaround and high-level aesthetic finishing could be exclusive mutually. However , shortcuts, workarounds, and efficient systems can reduce lead expenses and times while maintaining top quality standards. Efficiencies could be gained from working with something bureau that may creatively batch, nest, strategically section, shell, adjust fill, and modify build orientation to reduce machine time and material usage.
7. Priorities: Of all these aspects, which is the most important?
Ultimately, you must consider all factors and decide on those that are most important to attain the primary objectives and project targets. There are many competing requirements often, however your main priorities should drive your choice and filter the 3D-publishing material and technology options. If you have a brief timeline, economics may be the determining factor. If longevity is the priority, strength may be the determining factor.
Selecting the perfect material and technology for the project is vital to maximizing success. The primary indicate remember is that the “one-size-fits-all” approach doesn’t apply to 3D printing. It is essential that you either invest time to learn the pros, cons, and nuances of the major processes, materials, and post processes, or find a target partner or expert who gets the know-how and experience to provide you with sound guidance.

With cities becoming ever denser and denser, there are also increasing risks for fires. Because of this, many people are looking at ways of minimizing the risk for both people and assets. This makes the fire protection market one of increasing importance for people worldwide, and also for Aalberts integrated piping systems as a solution provider.
We excel in the most varied circumstances. Our solutions are particularly suitable for use in fire protection systems in residential and non-residential buildings, shipbuilding and industry.
Some of our integrated piping systems can be used in the fire protection market in a number of different applications and surroundings.
Lindenhofje – Amsterdam, The Netherlands
The buildings on the Lindengracht 94-112, located in the Jordaan area of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, have been used to provide care since the founding of Lindenhofje in 1616. Today, the buildings provide shelter and function as a nursing home for child care. Lindenhofje is part of the Salvation Army in Amsterdam. Ten severely or chronically ill children can stay here permanently or temporarily, when for example parents are not able to provide the children with intensive care from home.
Although the existing fire alarm system, smoke detectors, etc, meet the building fire protection requirements, the owner still opted to install water tap sprinklers because they offer extra security in case the building has to be evacuated due to a fire.
Children are normally not able to save themselves. However, the sprinklers fight the fire directly and will reduce the fire in the core, creating a longer flight and escape time. This extra flight time is very important, especially during evening and night shifts, when there are fewer people in the house.
In total about 300 sprinklers have been installed over three floors, covering all the children’s playrooms, the office rooms and other spaces. | mechanical_engineering |

The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch gets its name from the World War II, US naval unit (Frogmen) whose primary job was to prepare safe landings for troops and supplies at sensitive zones and takes you back to those days with its vintage, military appeal and retro touches all over. Complete with canteen-styled screw-down crown protectors, this is the watch you can actually take to the bottom of the sea.
The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is influenced by the Khaki Frogman Auto Chronowatch and merges style seamlessly with functionality and in the process, makes both of them prominent instead of so many others that water down one feature in favour of the other.
A surprising aspect of the Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is the Swiss automatic movement inside has been specially positioned; it rests at an inclined angle and got two pushers integrated into a single hole. The crown protectors are not the usual kind you see in other watches; they are Hamilton’s unique way of ensuring the water resistance to make the watch completely fail safe. The sturdy cross protection at the rear is a reminiscent of vintage diving suits.
The grade 5 titanium build of the Khaki Frogman Auto Chrono makes it 30% stronger than an equal volume of steel and cuts down the weight to half. It is also more resistant to corrosion, which is a must if you are spending more time amidst salt water. The high-tech look comes from the sand-blasted finish and the magnifying windows, which indicate the brand’s long diving tradition.
The Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Patrol Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch nests a 7750 Valjoux self-winding chronograph movement inside, which is also the most preferred mechanical chronograph movement today. It uses a three-plane (mainplate, calendar plate, and chronograph top plate) cam system which replaces the column wheel. The stopwatch (chronograph) uses a coulisse-lever escapement and is activated and deactivated with levers that push a cam (a rotating disk shaped to convert circular motion into linear) back and forth, putting into use the 12-hour and 30-minute chronograph functions. The hours, minutes and the centre 60-seconds hand operate separately.
The Hamilton Khaki Automatic Frogman H77746333 Mens Watch is also one of the few to feature a domed sapphire crystal and the cross-shaped structure on the case back acts as a reinforcement, which increases the durability of the watch. Even the window borders are made from solid titanium, which is definitely a notch above from other so called titanium watches that just stop at the case.
So, is the Hamilton Thin-O-Matic H77746333 Mens Watch meant for you? Definitely, if adventure – be it of any kind, even water-related (for you can take it down to under 500 feet) – is a part of your life! If not, then you’ll be wearing just a piece of history. | mechanical_engineering |

Understanding how these portable units function and being aware of common issues can help users maximize their efficiency and longevity. In this article, we’ll delve into the inner workings of portable air conditioners, highlight some key maintenance tips, and explore the benefits of air conditioning hire services compared to purchasing your own unit.
How Portable Air Conditioners Work
Contrary to popular belief, air conditioners don’t generate cold air; instead, they work by removing heat from the air in a room, thereby cooling it down. This process involves several key components working together seamlessly.
One of the central components of a portable air conditioner is the compressor. This part acts as the “muscle” of the unit, responsible for pumping refrigerant throughout the system. Refrigerant, often referred to as freon, is a substance that can readily absorb heat. As the compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, it becomes very hot, hotter than the surrounding air in the room.
The heated refrigerant then flows through coils, known as the condenser coils, where it releases heat into the surrounding environment with the help of a fan. This process causes the refrigerant to condense into a liquid form. Next, the liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, which depressurizes it and cools it down significantly. This cooled refrigerant then flows through another set of coils, the evaporator coils, where it absorbs heat from the air in the room. The now-heated refrigerant is then cycled back to the compressor to repeat the process.
A fan or blower plays a crucial role in the air conditioning process by circulating air over the coils. Depending on the direction of airflow, the unit either blows out cool air into the room or expels hot air outside through an exhaust tube.
Common Issues and Maintenance Tips
While portable air conditioners offer convenience, they are not immune to issues that can affect their performance. Here are some common problems users may encounter and maintenance tips to address them:
- Dirty Coils and Filters: Over time, dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser and evaporator coils, reducing the unit’s efficiency. Similarly, air filters can become clogged, hindering airflow.
- Exhaust Tube Blockages: The exhaust tube is essential for expelling hot air outside. Blockages or kinks in the tube can restrict airflow, causing the unit to overheat.
- Compressor Issues: If the compressor fails to start or is not functioning correctly, the air conditioner may not cool effectively. Checking for any burnt-out relays or connections on the circuit board can help identify compressor issues. However, handling electrical components requires caution, and it may be best to seek professional assistance for repairs.
- Fan Motor Problems: A malfunctioning fan motor can prevent air from circulating properly, leading to uneven cooling or inadequate cooling. If the fan is not spinning, it could indicate a motor issue that requires attention from a technician.
- Accumulated Condensation: Portable air conditioners produce condensation as they remove moisture from the air. Excess condensation can collect in the unit’s accumulator, potentially causing damage if not drained periodically.
Benefits of Air Conditioning Hire Service
While purchasing a portable air conditioner may seem like a straightforward solution, opting for an air conditioning hire service can offer several advantages:
Cost-Effective: Hiring a portable air conditioner eliminates the need for a significant upfront investment. Instead of purchasing a unit outright, users can pay a rental fee, which may be more budget-friendly, especially for short-term cooling needs or occasional use.
Flexibility: Air conditioning hire services offer flexibility in terms of unit selection and duration of use. Users can choose the most suitable portable air conditioner for their specific requirements, whether it’s for cooling a single room or an entire space.
Maintenance and Support: When renting a portable air conditioner, maintenance and support are often included as part of the service. This means that any issues or malfunctions can be promptly addressed by the rental provider, relieving users of the responsibility of troubleshooting and repairs.
Professional Installation: Air conditioning hire services typically offer professional installation by trained technicians. This ensures that the portable air conditioner is set up correctly and operates efficiently, maximizing cooling performance and energy efficiency.
In conclusion, portable air conditioners offer a convenient cooling solution for various applications, from residential spaces to commercial environments. By understanding how these units work and being aware of common issues, users can ensure optimal performance and longevity. Additionally, exploring the benefits of air conditioning hire services can provide cost-effective and flexible cooling solutions without the commitment of purchasing a unit outright. Whether for short-term cooling needs or long-term comfort solutions, portable air conditioners and air conditioning hire services offer versatility and convenience for users seeking reliable cooling comfort. | mechanical_engineering |

The impression technique should confer to the technician the position of the implant, its angle and orientation and relate the relationship of the implant to other relevant structures such as bone, teeth, other implants and soft tissues.
It is important that the impression should accurately record the head of the implant or abutment in a way that allows for precise duplication. The choice of the material used impacts on the accuracy with recommendation being given to medium consistency polyether and high consistency addition silicones. (1)
The impression record should be accurate, dimensionally stable, resist rotational force and reproducible (1).
It has been demonstrated in a multiple implant impression situation, that the transfer copings when splinted with an acrylic resin were more accurate than when acrylic was not used and this reinforced when non smooth, angular impression transfer copings were used. (2,5).
Transfer of implant position may be achieved by taking an impression of the head of the implant using;
1. Screw retained impression coping technique, either open tray or closed tray. The open tray impression technique requires the insertion of an impression post into the head of the implant. This post is then secured with a pin. The impression is taken with the securing pin passing through a prepared hole in the impression tray and when set; the securing pin is removed allowing the impression to be withdrawn, the impression post being securely retained in the set impression. The technician inserts a matched implant analogue onto the impression coping and the model is cast.
Advantage: Simple technique. Dentist does not need to hold a stock of abutments. Ideal in poor access situations or patients with strong gag reflex. The prosthetic (crown) should accurately fit the abutment as it has been made on the abutment present.
Disadvantage: Increased laboratory cost, laboratory decide on position of margins. Implant replicas are not identical to the implant and so micro positional error can occur which may be significant when planning splinted cases as the abutment position and orientation may differ slightly when comparing the model to the intra oral position. Splinted cases may require sectioning and re-soldering in the metalwork stage to ensure the “Sheffield test” criteria are met.
A closed tray impression post involves the placement of an impression post as a single unit being inserted into the head of the implant and an impression taken with a special tray. The impression is removed and the closed tray impression post removed from the implant, fitted with a matched implant replica and re-positioned into the impression before casting.
Advantages are as with the open tray technique. Easier to use further back in the mouth where it may not be possible to remove the securing screw from an open tray impression post.
Disadvantage. Implant replicas are not as accurate as the placed implant. Also difficulty may noted in re-fixing the impression post into the impression and this can result in the restoration produced being high in the occlusion and create significant discrepancies with regard to rotational inaccuracies(3) The possibility of non identical replication of position is a concern, particularly in multiple unit placement.
Some operators have developed a technique of using the implant carrier as an effective closed tray impression technique.
In a bounded saddle situation it is possible to transfer the information required by using pattern resin to locate the position of the implant to adjacent teeth.
The technique involves, prior to placement, taking an accurate planning cast. At placement, pattern resin is used to connect the carrier to adjacent teeth. No impression at operation is taken. The carrier is then removed and fitted with an implant analogue and the pre-operative model modified to allow placement of the analogue in the correct position once the pattern resin matrix is fitted over the adjacent teeth.
Advantage: Cross infection control issues are minimized, quick, simple, and inexpensive. Disadvantage; manipulation of soft tissues is compromised as it is difficult to assess the soft tissue contour; implant replica may not be accurate.
“Clip in” or “snap over” closed tray impression caps are available from some implant manufacturers. These manufacturers have produced plastic caps that “push fit” onto the head of the implant and or implant abutment. A standard silicone impression is taken and an implant abutment replica fitted into the impression cap along with implant replica prior to casting.
Advantage; quick and easy.
Disadvantage; inaccuracy of fit due to multiple transfer errors. (impression, plastic cap, inaccuracy of replica). In addition machined tolerances between implant components range from 20-1001.tm, and that second generation components have a lower tolerance than first generation components. (4)
The above techniques may be applied at first stage surgery. i.e. at time of implant placement, or after an appropriate healing period. If these techniques are applied at first stage surgery consideration must be given to the issues surrounding infection control.
Information may also be transferred to the laboratory once an abutment has been placed and this may be achieved by;
Securing the abutment in place so that it may be regarded as in the final position and conventional preparation of the abutment may be made followed by conventional crown and bridge impression technique. This technique reduces the errors associated with component and replica tolerances but can limit operator in management of the soft tissues.
Securing an abutment into position and taking an impression. Once the impression has set the abutments may be removed and implant analogues fixed to the abutments before the abutments are re-inserted into the impression and cast. Errors can occur when using a replica analogue (4) and repositioning the abutment into the impression i.e. acting as a closed tray impression component. In addition, precise placement of the implant abutment into the exact position it was in at the time the impression was taken is unpredictable even when using an indexed system.

"The combination of reduction in launch volume and mass, and the ability to make it bigger than you could possibly fold up into a rocket, means you can get an order of magnitude improvements of performance in cost."
Tethers Unlimited is focused on creating what's call a trusselator, a machine that takes spools of carbon fiber material and knits it together to build high-performance carbon fiber trusses, which can be used to build antennas or solar arrays.
So far, a prototype trusselator has been used to build a truss that was more than 52-feet long.
The 3D printers needed to build these large structures in space would look and function much differently.
"It isn't a typical 3D printer," Hoyt said. "The printers people use now are typically a big box that can make something smaller than that box. We want to have a tool that can make something much, much larger than itself. We're trying to figure out how to turn the 3D printer inside out. We need a tool that can act like a tiny spider building up a big web. And we have to figure out how to control the temperature of the materials while we're processing them — and doing this in orbit where the temperatures vary by hundreds of degrees. That's a big challenge we need to address."
A big step for the company will be to test the manufacturing platform on the International Space Station in several years.

After extensive analyses, thoughts and discussions with the engineers and architects involved in this project, we agreed we would be unable to ensure a safe environment for our clientele and employees, nor could we offer a customer experience that meets our usual high standards.
During the time span the Complex is closed this summer, swimmers will still be able to take a refreshing dip in the Jean-Doré Beach, at Parc Jean-Drapeau.
Frequently Asked Questions
We decided to close the Aquatic Complex in 2017 because it is located just beside the sector where the renovations will be occurring on Île Sainte‑Hélène in conjunction with the execution of work pertaining to the enhancement and development plan (PAMV).
After many analyses, thoughts and discussions with the engineers and architects involved in the project, we agreed it would be impossible to ensure a safe environment for our clientele and employees in 2017, nor would we be able to offer a customer experience that meets our usual high standards.
The Aquatic Complex is situated next to the PAMV construction site and is in the direction of the prevailing winds. The construction work will inevitably generate noise (demolition, excavation, foundation work), vibrations and a considerable amount of dust, which will affect the clientele. Not to mention the high amount of traffic from the trucks and heavy equipment in this particular area.
Added to this are other works, including the installation of a retaining wall to ensure the stability of the Complex's infrastructures due to the construction of a new mechanic ventilation well and the replacing of Île Sainte‑Hélène main aqueduct system, which explains our difficulty in being able to maintain the water quality of the pools.
The water quality of the pools will be affected and the dust might damage the filtration system, which could lead to sporadic or prolonged closures of the pools. And, the overall safety of pool users might be jeopardized (ex: noise, murky water, making it difficult for lifeguards to do their job).
The dust generated by the work during the week puts the water filtration system of the pools at risk, to the extent that we are simply unable to refill the pools for the 2017 season.
Moreover, it's possible the contractor will be working on the site on weekends. We can't take the risk of planning for the opening of the pools if there is work being conducted.
The Aquatic Complex will be open for the 2018 season.
We didn't have all the required information at the time to make a definite decision. Our intention at the time was to keep the Aquatic Complex open, but the details about the type of work that needed to be done and the related risks convinced us otherwise.
Synchronized swimming, swimming, water-polo, diving and triathlon.
In the fall of 2016, we notified the Federations and Sports Clubs that, due to the PAMV work, it would not be possible to hold events at the Aquatic Complex.
We worked with the City of Montréal's sports department to try to come up with alternative solutions to relocate them, and help them stage their respective events. As of now, all of the affected sports federations have been relocated.
The federations will train at Parc Olympique and the Sports Clubs were relocated to various Montréal boroughs thanks to a collaboration with the City of Montréal's sports department, which allowed us to find other venues for the Sports Clubs' training sessions.
Since the decision that was made was based on facts relating to the safety of the users and Parc Jean-Drapeau's operations, consulting with the sports federations to reach a decision was not possible.
The temporary closure is inevitable considering the work which has to be done for the PAMV, a project announced in 2015 and one which has a very positive impact for the Parc.
The Aquatic Complex's clients can continue to come and swim at Parc Jean-Drapeau this summer, at the Jean-Doré Beach. Situated on Île Notre-Dame, Jean-Doré Beach provides open-water swimming for training sessions, and has a huge area for recreational swimming.
The admission price for both facilities is the same, so the Beach will be just as accessible for Montrealers to come for a refreshing dip. We are also working with other aquatic facility operators to redirect the clientele.
We are currently evaluating all of the issues relating to the PAMV work and the shifting of some events. If there are other changes in our program, we will assuredly announce them at the appropriate time.
Before visiting, please consult the regulations for the Aquatic Complex.
- Anyone not complying with the regulations is subject to a warning. The Société du parc Jean-Drapeau reserves the right to eject anyone that does not obey the rules or warnings.

Her solution: EcoHelmet, a folding, recyclable helmet for bike share users.
EcoHelmet uses a unique honeycomb configuration to protect the head from impact, and folds flat when not in use. A biodegradable coating makes it resistant to rain for up to three hours. The lightweight, durable design of EcoHelmet empowers cyclists to ride safely and confidently.
The cell structure of EcoHelmet distributes any impact evenly around the head as effectively as a traditional polystyrene helmet. Due to the radial nature of the cells, it will protect the user from a blow coming from any direction. The simplicity of EcoHelmet’s construction, coupled with its inexpensive materials, will keep the manufacturing costs low – meaning they can be sold for $5 at bike share stations.
“I was lucky enough to be studying at Royal College of Art and the Imperial College of London for a semester, and was granted access to Imperial’s crash lab,” says Isis. “They had a European standard helmet crash setup that allowed me to gather enough data on Ecohelmet’s proprietary honeycomb configuration to know it was viable and worth developing.”
As international winner of the James Dyson Award 2016, Isis will be awarded $45,000 to further develop her invention.
“EcoHelmet solves an obvious problem in an incredibly elegant way. But its simplicity belies an impressive amount of research and development,” says James Dyson. “I look forward to seeing EcoHelmets used in bike shares across the world.”
There are also two international runners up in the James Dyson Award 2016: Smart Contact Len Platform and Respia.
Smart Contact Lens Platform is uses state-of-the-art engineering and nanotechnology to create a contact lens with a sensor that can continuously monitor its user’s glucose levels. After analysing the concentration of glucose in the user’s tear film, the sensor transmits its readings to the user’s mobile phone so they can better manage their diabetes treatment. It was designed by a team of students from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
Respia is an asthma management system that tracks and records the user’s respiratory health and medication use. It is a complete redesign of existing aerosol inhalers, coupled with the world’s first wearable patch that tracks respiratory health. It was designed by Katherine Kawecki, a student of industrial design from the University of New South Wales, Australia. | mechanical_engineering |

The project, slated to launch next year, aims to provide a faster and more convenient delivery experience for consumers, reducing the reliance on traditional human delivery services.
During the recent Gitex Global 2023 event, attendees were offered a tantalizing glimpse of this futuristic delivery method, wherein orders for meals and drinks were placed and received in under four minutes thanks to the drone delivery system. This groundbreaking project was jointly demonstrated by Dubai-based FEDS Drone-powered Solutions (FEDS) and the Chinese company Meituan UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems).
The Benefits of Drone Delivery
According to Rabih Bou Rached, the founder and CEO of FEDS, drone delivery is poised to outpace traditional human delivery methods in terms of speed and efficiency. Drones offer a unique advantage because they can bypass ground traffic, allowing orders to be fulfilled in record time. Furthermore, this autonomous system is not subject to congestion and delays typically associated with human delivery personnel. As such, the order fulfillment process is significantly expedited, promising a superior level of service.
Pilot Project and Future Prospects
While full-scale, citywide drone delivery operations are expected to materialize within the next two years, the initial phase involves establishing a pilot test area within a residential community characterized by low-rise buildings. This pilot project is scheduled to become operational by next year, allowing residents to experience the convenience of drone deliveries firsthand. Initially, between 10 and 20 drones will be deployed during the trial period. However, the potential for hundreds of drones to be utilized in a citywide operation is on the horizon.
The autonomous drones are equipped with impressive specifications that make them suitable for various delivery tasks. These drones are outfitted with six rotors and have a compact size, measuring 1370 X 1370 X 450 mm. They boast a payload capacity of up to 2.5 kilograms, making them capable of delivering family-size meals and other goods. To ensure uninterrupted communication, the drones rely on a combination of 5G, 4G, and Wi-Fi, allowing them to operate within a 10-kilometer radius. With a climbing velocity of up to 10 meters per second and a descent speed of 6 meters per second, these drones are designed for swift and efficient delivery. They can detect obstacles up to 50 meters ahead and 15 meters above, making them exceptionally safe to operate.
The drones are engineered to handle a variety of environmental conditions. They can operate in moderate rain and function efficiently within a temperature range spanning from -20 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius. This adaptability ensures that drone deliveries remain consistent even in adverse weather conditions.
Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Certification
One crucial step in expanding drone delivery capabilities is obtaining certification for “Beyond Visual Line of Sight” (BVLOS) operations. BVLOS certification allows drones to operate at distances beyond the direct visual range of the human pilot. Meituan UAS has been a pioneer in developing and deploying drone delivery solutions, focusing on providing services within a 15-minute radius for users located within three kilometers. With a track record of over 184,000 successful deliveries of meals, drinks, and other daily necessities in China since 2021, the company has emerged as a leading provider of drone delivery services.
Dubai Municipality (DM) has made significant strides in preparing the city for widespread drone deliveries. During the Gitex Global event, DM officials announced their efforts to map the airspace in the city. This mapping will help identify optimal routes and landing locations for drones, ensuring the efficient and safe integration of drone delivery services. The completion of this exercise in Dubai Silicon Oasis serves as a testament to Dubai’s commitment to adopting innovative technologies, with plans to extend similar preparations to the entire city.
Dubai’s embrace of autonomous drone delivery services is poised to revolutionize the last-mile delivery experience for consumers. The strategic partnership between FEDS and Meituan UAS demonstrates the commitment of both local and international stakeholders to enhancing convenience, efficiency, and speed in the delivery of goods and services. With cutting-edge drone technology and regulatory preparations in place, Dubai is set to redefine the future of last-mile delivery, making it a faster, more efficient, and environmentally friendly experience for residents and visitors alike. | mechanical_engineering |

What’s causing the greatest impacts
All life cycle stages
The production stage is dominating the results for most impact categories. The production stage has the most significant contributions to eutrophication (mostly from emissions from copper mining and the printed wiring board), non-carcinogens (emissions from the production of copper and zinc) and ecotoxicity (mostly from disposal of steel slags and bottom ashes from coal fired power plants, and barium emissions to water from the extraction process of natural gas). The use phase is relevant to most impact categories, especially fossil fuel depletion, ozone depletion, carcinogenics, and global warming. The use stage impact is mostly due to the embedded energy arising from acquisition, treatment and distribution of the water used during the use of the product.
The recovery stage includes recycling processes and benefits by preventing the need to produce primary materials. Recycling is a relevant factor for some of the impact categories, offsetting a portion of the impacts caused by production. Additionally, the delivery of the product to the construction/installation site, the construction/installation processes, the processes for dismantling the product and final waste treatment during the end of life stage do not have a significant impact.
Brass parts and the printed wiring board, along with the brass turning process have significant contributions to the impact categories. Stainless steel materials and the turning steel process are relevant to the carcinogenics category. The electroplating process along with injection molding are major contributors to the ozone depletion catgory. Additionally, polishing has a somewhat significant processing contribution to the results. Transport via oceanic freighter appears as a relevant contributor to the fossil fuel depletion and smog categories.
Deviations in the LCA results are a result of the difference in the assembly parts of the two faucets as well as the use phase. TEL105-D10ET and TEL105-C20ET contain more mass than TEL105-D10EM and TEL105-C20EM. The continuous cycle uses more water per cycle than the on-demand version of the two faucets.

LCA Background Report
Part A: LCA Calculation Rules and Background Report Requirements v2016 (compliant with ISO14040-44 and ISO14025)
Transparency Reports™ / environmental product declarations enable purchasers and users to compare the potential environmental performance of products on a life cycle basis. They are designed to present information transparently to make the limitations of comparability more understandable. TRs/EPDs of products that conform to the same PCR and include the same life cycle stages, but are made by different manufacturers, may not sufficiently align to support direct comparisons. They therefore, cannot be used as comparative assertions unless the conditions defined in ISO 14025 Section 6.7.2. ‘Requirements for Comparability’ are satisfied.
The intent is to reward project teams for selecting products from manufacturers who have verified improved life-cycle environmental performance.

For the second year running, Chamblee Charter High School will be represented at the World Championship competition for VEX Robotics, to be held in Anaheim, CA from April 17 to 20.
On Saturday, January 26, one of Chamblee's three independent teams qualified for the international event by winning the "Design" award during their fourth competition this season.
“I could not believe I was able to do this,” said team captain, senior Chad Weeks.
In addition to Weeks, the winning team consists of juniors Sams Khan, Daniel Richardson, and Logan Simpson, and senior Sebastian Perez-Ramirez.
The feat of making it to the world level competition is especially impressive as members of the team have only been working with VEX robots for five months.
“They went from knowing zero to where they are now,” said team sponsor and engineering teacher Gwen Cook. “I gave them about three weeks worth of lessons, and then they took it from there.”
The group is now in third place for the DeKalb league (which contains approximately 50 teams). Chamblee’s other two teams are currently holding the 19th and 17th ranking spots in the county.
The journey of getting to Anaheim, California is not over yet though. The team plans to build a second robot and to make changes to their current design.
“My hope for Worlds is to be in the top 15 percent of robots after making the changes we need to make,” said Weeks. “I hope that we are not just there, but are there as serious competitors.”
Before reaching this goal, the team has a long road of fundraising and work ahead of them. Just building the second robot will cost around $1,000.
For the two teams that are still trying to make the Worlds competition, Weeks has a few words of wisdom.
“Troubleshoot to create what you had imagined,” said Weeks.

Aircraft structure mechanics assemble primary and major sheet metal assemblies, including different types of metals, composites and other materials. This includes a variety of operations in the assembly involving component tooling where some judgment is necessary, such as cutting, filing, drilling, countersinking, fitting, and shimming. Sometimes, this work includes applying sealing, bonding agents, and other liquid adhesives, and installing hardware such as spring pins, cotter keys, and safety wires. Structure mechanics also conduct functional testing of parts and assemblies. | mechanical_engineering |
