    Dave2 ques. on european tools

    'm a VN Era submarine engineer. USN then, and until 1995 when I retired, used off the shelf. Indeed, enginerooms are built to SAE standards, but still the Swagelok salesmen would wine and dine the MMCs and sell them a zillion dollars of fittings in CPI Chemical Processing Industry threads-...

    12V DC to 120V AC power inverters

    I scanned the thread and noticed no one mention 1 Hp = 745.7 Watts. Remember it as 750 Watts or even 1000 Watts to a horsepower and you won't go far wrong and even then in the 'right' direction. And yes, starting current is a big consideration. Starting current is three to six times running...

    Personal wind turbines?

    Door County, WI is sooo wannabe green and they have windmills and a abundant ordinance. Here, on our Island, we've been able to keep them at bay by citing our cost of electricity less the infrastructure costs = 6 ¢/kWh. That's six cents per kiloWatt Hour. Because our electrical coop...

    Fact or fiction?????????

    I'm tickled to find another reader of John Baez here. Unfortunately it is clear that no posters subsequent to your mention followed and read the linked URL.

    OT/ US not wanting diesel cars?????

    I'm up to ~120,000 miles on my second VW TDI, a '03 Jetta Wagen. My first TDI was a 2K NB TDI that my ex insisted on taking heh heh heh. I live on a 23 sq. mile island in Lake Michigan so the Jetta does not usually got to warm up in the winter. It still does high 30s mpg in the winter and...

    UGH!

    The version that I learned is "There's never time to do it right the first time but there is always money to do it over."

    Black and Decker 18 Volt Cordless Scrubber

    I have one but am still learning to use it. I pinched a nerve in my right flank and so have a 'winging scapula' and can't make scrubbing motions or raise my right arm above shoulder height without discomfort. Hence the powered scrubber. I do scrub floors and tub with it. I will use it on the...

    Lever interference draft control, remote left spool '86 3910

    Thanks. I'm about convinced that cutting will be gentler and less invasive than bending.

    Who wants first kick.

    Money is not the way to happiness! "Want what you have rather than have what you want." A long time ago I learned that there is always a shill in the back of the audience at an auction. Trade with your friends and neighbors that you trust, even if it costs a little more.

    Lever interference draft control, remote left spool '86 3910

    We have recently purchased an '86 3910. The subject levers interfere and especially just at the position where I think that the draft often must be set. To the point that I am unsure of the proper functioning of draft control. Is there a tried and true modification of the remote hydraulics...

    Bio Diesel

    There go all of the VW TDIs' warranties. The Solar Constant is 1350 Watts per square meter, equivalent to 4 - 6 kiloWatt-hours per square meter per day. That is the maximum rate that a bio-renewable can renew, even bio-fossil fuel. Then the future is indebted. Nuclear power is secure power.

    channel lock pliers

    I retired as a submarine reactor plant engineer. Slip joint pliers, with a specific exception, would get the user a reprimand and dismissal. So would adjustable wrenches. I use a small and well worn pair around the house for things like garden-hose couplings.

    air rifles

    Benjamin or Sheridan. The possibility of an un-aimed bullet hitting something is proportional to the ratio of the target area and the surface area of the semi-sphere of radius equal to range. For a 12 sq. feet human at a mile the probability is on the order of one-in-a-million. The...
