Bet Elon Musk was pissed he had to figure out how to land his rockets because this was patented. :haha:

What year was common fucking sense invented? |
Pretty um... sexish.

Meh, gives the guy something to do besides scream and hang on for dear life, I guess.
Cool. |

The BBC used these machines to record broadcasts on 20 lb reels of metal tape.
They still have 350,000 hours of recordings on this tape. |

Looks like about 14 concrete pumpers, each being fed by multiple trucks, pouring a pad big enough to support a huge building... or your mom. :haha:

Damn.

I remember that pic from an old IOTD, one of the first I saw, but I can't find it.

580:1 reduction...

Portable music ain't new...
|
The 580:1 reduction system seems like a very expensive way to any number of unexpected, and most likely unwanted, outcomes.
|
I expect the whole project was engineered for a very specific outcome.
Going many slow. With very torque. |

This link has video of the New Zealand war effort.

NZ link with something I never heard of. Didn't even know they had an auto industry.
Looks like they did a good job. Sort of like hospitals fixing up soldiers for return to battle. |
I doubt they do now, even the auto industry in Australia is shutting down.:(
|
From Wikipedia:
"New Zealand no longer assembles passenger cars." |

Fun, fun, fun... until somebody loses a eye.
|
Seems a little expensive for what you get. That old timey money was worth more. $149 for some tube held together by bolts and two bucket seats and a windscreen?
|
Well, the bench seat model was a little cheaper, but it came with a column shift, so...:neutral:

Making damn sure it won't happen again...
|
What exactly am I looking at there? I get the wrenches, so the bolts don't come loose...
Are the bolts passing through an exhaust manifold? It's kinda brilliant. Sorta. Also: That person's safety-wiring technique looks to be lacking.:p: |
Don't know, looks like an exhaust manifold but there appears to be shit under it like it's being used for a motor mount or supporting a turbo or something.

Motor Toboggan, US Military bought 250 of them for service in AK.
|
Heh, like a snowmobile, without, well, most of it.
|
And really really hard to steer. :eek:

GM's turbine powered Firebird III front brakes.
|
I wonder if that wheel/drum would EVER dissipate heat? Looks like a lot of mass, in both pics.
|
Yeah, those holes are supposed to pump air through to dissipate heat, but I'm skeptical too.
|
Too much mass. Looks like it'd hold heat forever.
4 or 5 times the pad surface, too, looks like. |

What's that machine normally for?
|
Looks like a picker upper to me.
|
My guess is it's dedicated to changing tires on big trucks, just like it appears to be doing there. How else are you going to manipulate those ridiculous things?
|
The things you could pick up with that...
|
I wanna see it pick up an egg. I bet it could, with a skilled driver.
|
Its probably used for something besides mounting tires. Unless their drivers fuck up a lot. Then they would be in the unenjoyment line for sure.
|
Yeah, no need for a monster that size to change a 1000 lb tire, must be re-purposed from something else...
Like when weird Aunt Lily says give auntie a big squeeze for the millionth time.;) |
Trying to figure out what that is, I came across demolition robots.
|
It's just a giant front end loader. There are myriad attachments/tools for those things. Scoops, buckets, forks, cable spoolers/unspoolers...tire changers.

Showed some guys the old pick-up-the-dime/quarter-with-the-forklift trick. They hadn't seen or heard about it, and were fairly impressed.

Moving an 187 ton steam turbine rotor through NY State...

It's a real good idea to unhook the container from your truck before the crane grabs it.
|
I'm always amazed at how strong those hitch pins (?) are.

No, it's not that, it's for cracking open boiled egg shells...

Looks gruesome.
