First off please excuse the drawing, as you can see I'm not a draftsmen by any means. I have a
tendency to to think using this cad program 1992 version. it works quite well as I have
nearly 300 macros and programs to aid me. Not that all of the excuses are out of the way
here is my problem...
Ihave a local shop that is haing severe welding problems while welding 2205 SS/2205 SS and 2205 SS/340lSS. The welds are supposed to be strenght welds, no code. The equipment has been in use several years and is very dirty and coated with polymer. Best effort cleaning
appears to have no effect...
many moons ago someone mention that they collected old textbooks and had a large collection. In the near future I am going to let go off my fathers ICS engineering textbooks, circa 1922 and would like to find them a good home.
These books are in very good shape with the exception of the cover...
Would the use of 2 1/2" poly spheres for volume reduction be allowed during hydrotesting of a P.V?
The purity requirements for the test water are extremely high due to a highly polished interior. The volume is 2250 gals with a test pressure of 40 psig. Other test media has been ruled out...
This purely academic.
I watched the Discovery Channel Program on building Tower One at the WTC site where it showed the Iron Working Connector Crews hanging iron for the new building when the question came up about the bolting in specific. The crew on television apparently only sets the steel...
Why design something if you can't get it made without sending it off shore.
Several recent items in the news have concerned the lack of skilled labor available for a good number of companies now hiring.
This rather long article brings up quite a few very good points that need to be addressed...
I've been following the news concerning the stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair as close as possible from afar. One possible smoking gun as appears in some photos, that is what appears to be billboard/sign atop the stage roof line. It appears to be a an add on as it's braced in one...
2 weeks ago I was at a local electric motor shop checking on a new alternator for a friend's boat and since it was for a 32V system there was a little discussion and some contact information was taken to contact me. Monday I found out that 4 Leece Neville 200 amp generators were recovered along...
This is camera that I've been needing for years. It looks great for everyday photos, but I think it has tremendous potential for industrial and hopefully Microscopy.

This is mainly for your information,but I would appreciate any comments.
This is 2205 SS hollow shaft operating around 400°F that had a short happy life of 6 months.
This is a problem where one has 4 unknowns and 4 equations. The thermal history of the weldment is missing, along with the...
I've lost my DC motor Expert.
What is the variance in speed between two series wound DC motors(2hp) on the same bus?
Will it vary with motor size and speed?
I'm trying to make high purity water by zone refining, I can do it using a large containers but are not so successful using !/2 L bottle as the core doesn't end up in the middle/top.
Any ideas on freezing from the bottom up or from the sides.
Engineering history or just the end of a era?
I've seen several films and read numerous articles on the development of the Kodachrome process. There was quite a bit of chemistry and engineering that went into developing the process.
It is ironic that the banner on this article has an ad for a...
This issue of Fortune Magazine has an article about the Southern Company and their approach to new plants. It mentioned that they had two very large holes in the ground so I called my buddy who has visited the site several times and stated they are getting on with the program. He will try to...
