I'm looking for some general information on pullies and advantage. It's been a LONG time since I've had to deal directly with pulleys....be gentle.
I understand that the mechanical advantage, in general, of a pulley system is the # of supporting cables. For example, the system shown in the...
Looking for insight on designing/routing exhaust manifolds for a single turbo on a V6/V8 engine.
Lately the trend has been to go with parallel twin turbo but I'm looking to go to a single turbo in this application. Unfortunately, due to the twin turbo trend I'm having trouble finding...
I'm having an argument about the proper location of the intake air temp (IAT) sensor with a fellow car fan. I'm sure I'm right but I want to check with you guys to make me feel better (or worse?).
Okay, the car in question has an IAT sensor right at the throttle body. The throttle body on...
I'm wondering if it would be adviable to try and squeeze an IC between the SC and the intake manifold??
Do drag racers do this or do they just lower the compression to account for these temps??
There's room under the hood but I'm wondering if the IC would really create problems with airflow in...
I want to get an idea of what others do in this situation.
I have a 25 foot deep (10' ID) precast manhole. We are going to put "doghouses" in the bottom so that it can be placed directly over some existing 30" and 36" pipe. A footing will be poured beneath the existing...
Hi,
I'm trying to find a relay that will open (or close) after a certain frequency is achieved. Ideally the relay would be adjustable to allow for fine tuning but this is not necessary. I'm looking to find a relay like this or I will build my own if need be!!
I have a signal from a VSS that...

How does one calculate the load on a rebar that will be embedded into a concrete wall??
I have the Hilti manual so I know how to calculate the embedment but I'm having trouble figuring out the forces applied to the rebar.
The element in question is a beam. It's 18" x 18" with two...
I had such good answers on my first question I have a second already.
When working with concrete (or masonry) retrofits or repairs, how do you figure the development length for the dowel bars that are inserted into existing concrete??
Is this something that you can only get from the...
This looks like a great forum. I have a question as to something I have not encountered in my SHORT career but would like to know.
How does one determine the weld strength required when welding a plate (or any other shape) to the bottom flange of a beam? Top flange? Is it the same strength...
