How is the mechanism used and what for? A Lawyer is a thief in a Suit.

Yes you can use the forward momentum of the PWC to go up onto the rollers and transfer the weight past center of gravity, on a cradle that will rock forward and lift the back end out after it rocks over and locks into place. Like I stated in the previous post, You don't need an electric motor, a...

Why not build an angled ramp with rollers and pneumatic loaded side cushioned rails,(like pneumatic shock absorbers), to guide the craft and hold it to center as the craft is driven up onto the unit. The unit rocks over once the center of gravity is surpassed on the upper end and locks it self...

Any thought on finding or even at this stage in our human history imagining an alternative to fossil fuels is a step in the right direction. By thinking outside the "status quo" box we can explore ideas. Engineering constraints and feasibility will eliminate those ideas that will not provide, at...

The type of funnel or wind sock I am talking about would be titanic in size. It would be perhaps 1000 ft or higher and just as wide, tethered to radio like towers that are reinforced and held in place with high tinsel guide cables. The wind sock would be made of a light weight fabric laced with...

As an Industrial controls engineer/project manager..it all has to work first on the drafting table/cadd drawings. The logic schematics will prove the concept. The most important factor is How much work one puts into the project to assure all of the i's are dotted and the t's are crossed. There...

wouldn't the weight of the extra tank and the weight of the water contribute to lower fuel milage in terms of fuel consumption. Depending on the weight of water in the U.S. or Britain. The added weight & cost to transport would negate the positive returns on heat recovery unless you took out...

I was joking about the weight of the boat. Doesn't an aircraft have fuel guages that are represented in lbs of fuel rather than gallons? Does the sensor in the fuel tank need re-calibration when the aircraft operates in a country with a different standard?

the previous poster..Danger.. put it correctly..imagination with the ability to find the answers. Where to look for resources. I designed Industrial automated control systems, ( I am retired ). The very first question that has to be answered..is what is the overall desired results. What do I...

The Boat probably weighs more overthere also, so it's all probably relative, ha, ha.

why not use (2) 610 gallon tanks or One 1220 gallon tank to lift the 10,000 pounds. Water weighs 8.33 lbs per gal. at 70 degrees F. We usually use an electric motor with a reduction gearbox driven tooth gear , (a sprocket), which operates a chain that drives a sprocketed shaft that have cables...

In this forum on 1st-23-2005 ed shaw posted a formula that explained the math if you access this site you will see the equation. http;//www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=60763 Basically he determined that a certain sized wind funnel which is explained in his post could generate 10 times...

Non carbon based Alternative renewable fuel sources..Ideas out side of the Box. #1. WIND POWER using a gigantic wind sock. A Wind Drome. Let's imagine a high tensil lightweight material 1000 feet across and 1000 feet high funneling down to an opening only 10 feet by 10 feet at the small end. (...

Why is it necessary to heat the fuel,( vegetable oil), to such high temperatures? Does it have to be at that temperature coming out of the injectors for proper combustion. I am a retired automation/Industrial controls engineer & I have had to solve many problems through the use of temperature...
