Hey guys. First month of uni. And OMG its awesome. Pretty hard at the moment but getting into it. We do calculus, physics, computer programming fundamentals and engineering fundamentals. I sort of agree with "i_wish_i_was_smart" to an extent. I mean obviously you have a look at past exams...

"Chroot" I am liking that advice. Pretty much what i would do/be like anyway. "Minger" I am in New Zealand so our drinking age is 18 (which means everyone starts drinking at about 16), so I've sort of got over the "getting trashed for the sake of it" stage. Its stupid really. Cant really be...

Well I may just do a bit of both. Bit of study group and a bit of not. I’ll see how it goes. What sort of stuff does engineering even involve, in terms of physics and calculus etc? I don’t even know. Will it have seriously hard calculus and physics because that’s not my specialty. By that I mean...

Oh my god. My 4 years of mechanical engineering starts in one week. Its going to be hard.:eek: Any tips on how to not make it bloody impossible?

Its called a sunset and "GOD AM" explained it correctly. Its just after the sun has set where we can't see the sun but the clouds still can because they are higher up. Heres a picture i took list night of one. In New Zealand we get huge sunsets that look great. This one isn't a sunset...

Does it have to be accurate? A simple but effective method is to use the old school tennis ball launcher type design. You know the one where you have two wheels spinning in opposite directions and you roll a ball down a shoot between the two wheels and it launches out. If you make them well...

I have a friend who is a turbo mechanic so he balanced the shaft with the impellers on it but at the time I hadn’t made the spacer which now runs between the bearings (to keep everything tight but still free, in theory) that may be a problem. I think it should be balanced well enough for what I...

Firstly I would like to point out I have absolutely no idea what I am doing and will most likely be blind or dead by tomorrow. But anyway. I've finally finished me first turbo jet engine (from scratch I would like to add and designed myself and dodgy as I am pretty convinced that it won't...

Firstly I would like to point out I have absolutely no idea what I am doing and will most likely be blind or dead by tomorrow. But anyway. I've finally finished me first turbo jet engine :approve: (from scratch I would like to add and designed myself and dodgy as :biggrin: I am pretty...
