    Pavement Meets Desert. (Will they mix?)

    Popular Science article: "Going Nowhere Fast". The $1 million Trophy Truck! Even though it is Trevor Harris, I'm wondering how well pavement and desert will mix. http://www.popsci.com/popsci/automotivetech/d5f67cdd8d83e010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html...

Some seem to be among the highest strength aerospace fasteners out there. I have seen them on things...

    Hi, What ever happened to dry clutches for motorcycles? I raced and maintained CZ motocross bikes which had dry clutches for years and never saw a worn clutch. Also had a Triumph with a dry clutch, worked great. Although they are a tad heavier and for sure more expensive, they can be just as...

    Ultrafine Particles
