Hello everyone,
I'm a 50 year old engineer in the Rail Industry (Rolling Stock Maintenance).
I am proficient in Mechanical, Electrical, Pneumatic and Fluid Dynamic Principle Engineering.

I have Asperger Syndrome and ADHD, which form part of the Autistic Spectrum. Although perceived as a disability, I would not be the engineer I am today without it, so see it as a positive.

I like tinkering and making things. I also take enjoyment and satisfaction in fixing anything, even though it doesn't always work out :doh:

In my youth I used to restore old 1950's & 1960's Air Cooled Volkswagens, which was before my children came along and had more disposable time 😆😆

Anyway, take care and I look forward to having a chat 👍

Welcome to the forum.
 
Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.
