    Interesting system of weight measurement of flying planes

    This also helps prove what I posted here. ( bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/how-wings-work.336966/ ) Very cool and sensitive scale. Here is the system the fellow designed and helps prove its a positive force that supports flight.

    Air compressors

    I have always wondered why they are not treated with a paint or sealer inside the tank, sort of like some folks have done with old car and motor cycle gas tanks? Here is a good reason that it should be done, but then this could have been a stuck relay or pressure relief issue as well.

    Computer questions

    I'm lost nowadays with all the latest in computers, 20 some and more years ago I was into it. Started in DOS, then Linux, mostly command line, even OS/2 etc. then of course windows stuff even NT, now its just an old Win 8 unit. Yeah the old VESA, Micro Channel, PCI days, is it still PCI? I...

    A simple question for the internet gets a run a round

    I asked the search engine, "Is DC voltage a source of STATIC power?" Then I asked "Is DC voltage a source of NON DYNAMIC power?" The answers are non existent, and unrelated to the question. I suppose Power could be replaced with ENERGY. Just think of the battery in your car when answering this.

    San Diego Citation Crash

    No excuse this day and age for that to happen. The cure I have mentioned before is synthetic vision, combined with flir, and radar. Then fog and low visibility would not be an issue.

    Transmission parts issues

    Anyone that works on transmissions and or replacing them knows there are outfits located some where in the US that rebuilds CVT's. I'm sure that if they are doing so for say Honda, that they are not using China made push belts. How come you can go to the dealer and purchase normal step or...

    Off shore tools?

    How much longer will it be that they will be priced at almost snap on prices? My crystal ball says that there will be no such thing as affordable tools any more as time goes by.

    Internet providers etc

    Also for land line and tv. Need some ideas for ones that are easy on fixed income folks, and don't charge a monthly car payment for service.

    The big issue with CVT's

    Internal parts ! Can't even get a push belt from the dealer for a 2016 up HR-V, that has a habit of tearing them up. Go figure, parts are readily available for the step transmissions and engines. So funny thing is I think some factory authorized rebuilder is getting parts from some place. I...

    will there be an affordable vision system for aircraft?

    A multi system synthetic vision system that is affordable for all aircraft, that also enhances TCAS, to double check the controllers. A question do all planes now have altitude encoding transponders? Hope so.

    Things you have to do to new cars that you didn't have to do with old cars.

    A switch around of the other good thread on here. 1 Didn't have to change out the engine 3 or so times before 90K miles or less, because of engineering and or manufacturing defects. 2 Have the dealer fire the parts cannon to the tune of thousands of dollars, and still not find a loose or...

    The new vehicles that just lock up.

    Just watched a guy on the tube, that towed a newer 2022 vehicle that could not be started and also had no way to put it in neutral. Yeah all 4 wheels locked up, he did a great job flatbeding it and unloading it. Can you imagine this thing in your garage and catching on fire, no way can you...

    Craigslist is such a mess now

    It shows some really bad pictures to match and then when doing what it wants then it says, "an error occurred" it is now a non functional mess. At least in this state and area. Has anyone else run into this? It happens for some of the ad's with phone numbers, when clicking on the box for the...

    Planned obsolescence!

    For all the modern vehicles what parts are going to be no longer available, that will end the life of your top dollar vehicle? For some reason some folks think a new vehicle is some sort of investment?

    Got thinking about chainsaws and?

    Not sure if I asked this question here before. But how old were you when you ran one by yourself? And remember the older you are now the heavier the saws were when you was a youngin. I was around 10 when I did. I ran it younger but dad had to start it for me, 8 then. Gosh 9 year old grand...

    Toyota and other engine recalls

    Its so funny how the standard excuse for all of them is left over machining debris. If so that will rear its ugly head much sooner than many of the talked about problems do. Kia first to use that excuse now Toyota and Honda?
