    Local Pulleys
AI Thread Summary
Local stores that sell pulleys include automotive and agricultural supply shops, which typically offer a wider variety than standard hardware stores. Boating suppliers, or ship chandlers, are also recommended for finding pulleys suitable for physics projects. Arts and crafts stores are generally not reliable sources for pulleys. For specific needs, checking local NAPA shops may yield good results. Exploring these options can help find the right pulleys quickly.

Your best bet might be an automotive or agricultural supply shop. Hardware stores tend toward purpose-built pulleys such as for yardlines or garage doors. My local NAPA shop has a far wider variety.
 
Boating suppliers (ship chandlers) are also great for physics toys.
 
Good idea, Mgb. Being in the middle of Alberta, I don't tend to think of marine-oriented things. :redface:

Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
