That. Is. Ridiculous.

Cool!
I reckon those tracked trailer wheels are doing their fair share of pushing. |
I'm not sure if the wheels/track on the trailer are driven or not. If you go to the logset website, they stress all their models are built super rugged so their machines are like the Energizer Bunny.

Experimenting with stable gear ratios in a Lego Technic construction.
Gets up to 7750 rpm (17k when driven by a power drill--and it eats the plastic.) |
That was interesting.

An old racer with two inline 6 cylinder engines has the wildest exhaust system ever...

All his videos are twice as long as necessary. :eyebrow:

Yup.

Now that's pretty clever to make the truck look normal. May cut down on tool theft compared to a box back instead of a bed.
|
I bet that don't rattle at all.

Why you don't plow deep enough to dig into the road...

This added at least 20 minutes (I caught the tail end of it) to my commute the other day.

Are those Air Force markings on that rig?
|
Via Twitter comments, it's "USA Truck".

OK thanks, somebody has grabbed that for a corporate logo.
|
It's looks like the old USAF logo. Color is a bit different, also.
|
It's still the current USAF roundel, but lighter blue. It doesn't seem like that should be OK, but they've been doing it for a long time.
|
Then I'm wrong.
|
Well, you're right that it's an old USAF logo (dates back to WWII) with a slightly different color. But, while it is old in terms of years, it's not old in terms of replaced.
|
I feel like that company used to be bigger. I remember seeing that logo pretty frequently years ago.
In local trucking, a load of fracking sand got stuck under the railroad bridge by my work that took the AC off the top of an RV last summer. |
I remember working in a warehouse in the 90s,

They took Medusa to a car show, got separated at a gas station, so he waited out side the show because she had the money.
I think she was also in charge. :yesnod: You can skip to the 6 minute mark. |

Pretty cheap for a fully prepped, blown, injected race motor, plus a ton of spare parts and a whole barrel of nitro..

I used to have a 76 Pontiac Lemans Sport Coupe. Had a .060 over Pontiac 400, healthy cam, massaged 7M5 heads (or some such alphanumeric designation) and a Quadrajet from a grain truck engine, iirc it was 427.
I had right at $3000 in that motor, machine work and all. That was a fairly heavy car, and it would boogie right on down the road. |
Canadians moving a propylene/propane splitting tower.
The load and trucks is 587’ long, 31’ wide, 42’ high, weighs over 900 U.S. tons, and has 912 tires. |
Wowser.
The front four trucks look like horse teams. |
My God, the logistics of that move...:crazy:

If you take a perfectly good engine and wash it in hot water...

95,00 RPM
Flame engine Auto Union Cool cat Needs a second look |
My first second look was at the W32 Patelo that runs with coins balanced on edge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVuKp5M3de8 And another one of his https://newatlas.com/spanish-enginee...-engine/20636/ He gets a 10.0 on a degree of difficulty that is off the chart. |
No problem, just take a full sized engine, wash it in hot water, and tumble dry. If it's not small enough, repeat. :haha:
|
The trouble is shrinking the vehicle to scale.
|
And the people to drive it. ;)
|
I bet I know where Patelo gets his springs.

The Japs had grabbed all the rubber trees(along with the land under them and people who farmed them) long before Pearl Harbor, so inventor Earst Meili came up with this substitute...
|
They were also called "spring wheels" and "airless tires."
http://s2.e-monsite.com/2010/04/23/0...heel-Meili.jpg http://www.unusuallocomotion.com/med...g?fx=r_950_950 |
Both those links are Meili's work. I think he also came up with a smoke detector, and some sort of light bulb.

Can't trust LEGO...

I've seen a lot of tractors that size do that. Most of the time, on their own.

What do you expect,it's a ford.

This is a message from god, go back to bed. :yesnod:

Chip box on the bucket truck almost did that.

I have never seen a 8N or similar tractor break in half on its own.
Tell us more. |
Well, I meant without the assistance of an intersecting automobile...

Sorry my bad, the hood looks like an 8-N Ford. At least it wasn't a Deere.
