    Today I Learned

    The appearance of Bandersnatch here prompted me to finally look up the term. I have never read any Lewis Carroll stuff. So today I learned that, all linguistic cues to the contrary, a "bandersnatch" is not in fact a chastity belt. I now take my leave.

    News U. S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence report on CIA

    Including my response to Bystander as to what sort of unsavoury situations I've been in? Has he ever retrieved someone's head from a tree following a car wreck?

    Educational Background Trophy Problem

    That wasn't a profile; it was an evasion. :oldeyes:

    Open Source Spaceframe recumbent bike build

    Looking forward to it. I might not be of any assistance, but that's never stopped me from chirping up before and it won't now.

    Build an Oleo Strut: Tips, Instructions & Max Energy Absorption

    In that case, the limits would be upon the structural integrity of the seals and the cylinder components. If those walls are 1/2" thick, it will take more than if they're only .1". An accumulator is a "reservoir" into which excess fluid is routed and/or stored under pressure. An oleo strut is...

    Added weight to front of tractor

    Partially because I didn't fully understand until your last post what the problem is. You never mentioned that the front was pulling a wheelie. That normally happens only in a rear-wheel drive system. In a proper setup, neither the front nor the rear rises more than the other upon...

    Why we shouldn't eat already dead animal instead of killing

    Or you could come up here and try some "prairie oysters". :devil:

    Do you guys have microscopes at home?

    Designing using Impact Energy of Plastics

    You know that it won't be homogenous, right? You have to figure for the worst-case scenario, which means the toughest plastic that you'll ever encounter. Anything less is a walk in the park. As to the math part, I have no idea.

    Build an Oleo Strut: Tips, Instructions & Max Energy Absorption

    That is essentially limitless, since no size restrictions are given. That absorption will be through whatever you use as an accumulator or blowoff valve, not the cylinder itself (unless its structural integrity is less than the other 2). If you have only the cylinder with no valving, then back...

    Open Source Spaceframe recumbent bike build

    Keep in mind also that for a bike the tolerances aren't critical. If you just use a standard conversion chart and happen to be out by .01", nobody will notice. Anything where clearances are important such as hubs will be prebuilt to spec anyhow.

    When will an airflow cause whistling?

    It isn't restricted to commercial stuff. I've had cannulas (nasal prongs) for my oxygen equipment that whistled so loudly in my nose that I couldn't go to sleep. It seemed to be at their whim: sometimes they did and sometimes they didn't. When they did, I would bend and twist and beat them...
