#10- Now he can get added value from his lift rental by jumping to his death- And he doesn't have to worry about flowers for the funeral! Always look on the bright side of life!
#1 - Short girl, long hair. Pretty cool. #6 - Cool trick, until you crunch to tube and have to pay for it... #7 - Does anyone know what that's called? Looks like it's based on the wankel rotary engine, but with gears. I'd like to look it up, see if I can print one out as a fidget toy type thing with herringbone gears. That'd be pretty cool.
#6 When I first got on a Bobcat I didn't know how touchy the controls were. First I did a forward wheelie which threw me backward pulling the levers and doing a backward wheelie.
#2 looks great, but I would not want to have to clean out the shower drain every month ! # 7 is a planetary gear system. you find some in your basic auto trans. used to know a old school machinist guy who had something close to that on his worktable great man, he was always trying to explain how things like that worked to me. he helped me rebuild my first engine too. my dads truck never ran that smooth before although he never told me that. I heard it from him. dave in pa.
#7 I really love stuff like that. I recently discovered tourbillon watches. A couple of hundred years ago, some guy decided that he could improve the accuracy of pocket watches by putting the escapement in a little sub assembly that rotated. It is doubtful that this invention made watches any more accurate but the mechanism is fascinating to watch working. So now you can buy tourbillon watches that have a little window in the face with the rotating escapement on view. The only reason for having this complex mechanism, now that we have quartz watches, is that it looks totally brilliant. Stonyground.
Look a little further if you want 'mind=blown. Don't remember right off which Swiss manufacture made it, but there's a tourbillion escapement that also rotates 360 degrees. The idea is to overcome the force of gravity on the hairspring.
Originator I think was Breguet. The 360 degree rotation referred to is thus: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/WKDgS7pCtm0 It is the second escapement shown on this short video.
# 7. Looks like a hybrid planetary/cyclo. Sun gear follows elliptical path like a Cyclo and studs replaced by idlers. Idlers rotate between Sun and Planet on elliptical path. Very cool !
I worked at the nations 7th largest Jr. College. (for 15 years)----7 miles away from Nellis Air Force Base--and was able for free, every month -watch the T- Birds/ Stealth Fighter's and Bomber's play/practice and or just Fly out--What a Pleasure to see them(t birds and stealth fighters) do maneuvers just 200 feet above us in the parking lot or on the roof.
#1 - The Blue Angels are performing at the Beaufort (SC) Marine Air Force Base today & Sunday. People started parking their cars in the field across US 21 on Thursday.
#1 The formation flyby. I saw that pass directly overhead once and within 100 yards of that thrice, all at 250-300 feet altitude. Twice they had the smoke going.
I live in VA Beach, at the time 2 miles almost due West of the southern end of the runways at NAS Oceana, and was kicked back on the back yard deck at the edge of a bayou. Saw the show, didn't have to deal with the crowds. A fine day.

ReplyDelete#2 I love long hair on women but you know how they holler when you accidentally pull it while lovemaking? This is a whole new level.
ReplyDeleteNo, I holler when he rolls over on it in his sleep and traps me to the mattress.

ReplyDelete#3 good eye and a steady hand
ReplyDelete#5 I need that gun. There are a couple of mockingbirds annoying me.
ReplyDelete#10: He can't say he didn't try... I'd've spit on the glass and left it at that...
ReplyDelete#2 I guess he has a plumber on retainer.

The terms ".50 BMG" and "bullpup" just don't go together. I'll stick with Ronnie Barrett, thank you.

ReplyDelete#8 - If those things grew to several feet long , nobody would ever go in the ocean again .
ReplyDeleteI've never been in the ocean above my ankles. I generally avoid places where I can be eaten.
DeleteI wonder the size of both prey and hunter? 2 inch minnow or 5 lb fish?
Delete# 7 Why?
