Here is another application where battery technology makes sense. A Battery-Electric Train That Never Has To Be Charged

Have you guys been watching on YouTube the Edison Motors saga? I am not a trucker and I know nothing about heavy trucks but I find this fascinating. It is a group of Canadian logging truckers that decided to start their own hybrid (diesel /electric) truck manufacturing/assembly company and all...

With the 302 you could run fast enough that nobody could catch you and hit you in the back, so you would not explode. 🤣

That reminds me of the good old days in college in Puerto Rico. Back then, I was staying with my uncle in Mayaguez (where the only engineering school was back then) and he had a 67 VW van with the middle seat removed. A friend of mine that was staying at the school dormitories asked me if I...

This is what happens when you don't use proper "protection". :ROFLMAO:

Together with checking the HST fan, check the CV joint boots at both end of the of the shaft connecting the engine to the HST.

Military Right to repair. The best comment of the article: Captain: ...holding on the support line... Canon Support: Hello sir, how may I help you? Captain: rumble crash bang boom Our canon is misfiring. You need to come over and repair it immediately.rumble crash bang boom Canon Support: I'm...

My general suggestion would be to buy one stand alone camera with SD card recording (your choice of brand) and at least 1080p resolution with no subscription required. Try out how it works in different locations. Checkout operation with a computer or phone. Find out its strengths and weaknesses...

Oh, I forgot, all the Foscam cameras can be setup using the PC VMS software (can not be done with the phone app) to send an email with three sequential photos when motion is detected. That is the way my first camera was setup since I had no means to record video. However, it can become a pain...

I am cheap, I went with Foscam. The cameras are alright, one of my cameras is at least 10 years old. The PC software takes some learning. However, if you use the PC software (VMS for Windows or Apple), you can set up the cameras and monitor them remotely with a PC without the need of a Foscam...

Hey, it makes perfect sense in the metric world. The bigger first number goes with the bigger end! 🤣

That reminds me of when my son was in school and he came home after a CPR class. He said that the dummies that they practiced with were disgusting. He continued by saying that they stunk and they had these "wild ass hairs". My immediate answer without thinking much about it was "You might have...

I bought this monstrosity from the tool bargain bin in the local Tractor Supply Co. some years ago. It is great when I am taking something apart and I have no clue how tight the bolts are going to be or if I have the right 3/8 or 1/2 ratchet with me. And if it all fails, I can hammer the crap...

When we moved to our 1 acre lot in 1988, I mowed with a self propelled mower and it was horrible. It would take all day. My next door neighbor saw me struggling one day and just to show off, he brought his garden tractor over and mowed most of my backyard in about a half hour. Shortly after...
