I wonder how hosed the US Navy would be in a real war when its destroyers don't have functional radars. I assume the DoD is just wasting trillions of dollars on Pentagon toiletries and stealth fighters that can't get rained on

I feel like this is why we can't seem to scale our military down to a proportional level rather than having multiple times everyone else, it's poo poo across the board so we take the brute force approach of having so much poo poo we can overwhelm any other country that tries to mess with us. Of course that strategy falls apart when not necessarily fighting a country, but it's not like we've been doing that for nearly 20 years or anything.................

I went to see the big steam tractor today and unfortunately it did not explode and kill me. I apologise, thread.    In retrospect, a 'Rock Crushing Plant' sounds like the most OSHA thing ever.

Platystemon posted:Did it ever explode? Parts of it, yes. Since I've got flywheels on my mind, I'll tell you about the time Roger the Redneck Millwright left a 4 lb hammer on a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt lead to a hammer hog. A hammer hog is just your basic multi-hundred pound steel flywheel, about 30 inches wide, with steel hammers spaced out on the face. Think like knobbly tires on a motocross bike. It rotates about 1500 rpm or so and is used to break up strips of trim and reject panels and stuff. So anyway, Roger finishes working on whatever and tells the operator to start it up *twirl finger* ... My back was to everything that happened so far. The first indication I got that there was a problem was a heavy vibration that I could feel through the floor and the forklift I was sitting on. I thought "earthquake" and half a second later there was an explosive sound of metal shattering followed by heavy THUDTHUDTHUDthudthudthud thump thump bump CLANK...rattle.. I got a look at the aftermath. The 4 inch diameter steel axle was bent 90 degrees on one side of the hog wheel and the axle stub was non-existent on the other side. There were some decent gouges in the concrete floor where it dug in for a couple rotations. If the one remaining bearing had let loose, the hog itself probably would have bashed through a wall and gone raging across the factory floor. When Roger got his new hammer, it was spray painted florescent pink.

Memento posted:Wheeling back around to that dam collapse in Brazil the other week, in what to me is an incredibly surprising move, they're actually changing the legislation around them and enforcing it on Vale to the tune of $3 billion in reworking costs. Upstream dam barely meets the definition of a dam I can see why they were banned but why were they ever approved?

This wasn't the Solvay mill, was it? The pink hammer reminded me: Old Sterling trucks could be re-keyed with Ford blanks, which I took advantage of when I found out that Home Depot had bright pink Hannah Montana keys to make the office spares. Incidences of drivers leaving keys at home dropped precipitously after that.

Humphreys posted:That really is a dumpster fire of a handgun. Even with my basic machining and theory knowledge on 'how guns works' (and 15 years since I've held a firearm ) I couldn't actively make something that failure/hilarity prone. The best part is that USFA was a highly regarded manufacturer of Single Action Army replicas. The owner was a weirdo who thought he had come up with the next best thing in guns, so he immediately sold all of their equipment to fully retool for making his plastic monstrosity with the expectation that they’d sell so many that they could buy back all the SAA tooling. Instead he completely destroyed his company for no good reason.

Just finished the chapter in Marine Salvage about Ernest Cox, the guy who set out to salvage the entire German fleet from Scapa Flow (using compressed air and a repurposed drydock) to sell as scrap metal. Some highlights: During the General Strike, all of Cox's workers stayed on the job, but the price of coal skyrocketed. Rather than wait it out, they started bringing up coal from the sunken ships and burning that. A recurring theme was ships coming up upside-down, at which point rather than try to flip them, they'd simply leave some compressors attached and tow them to the breakers keel-up. This left the guns and conning tower dangling down, though, increasing the draft and making it harder to tow them through shallow waters. Usually this meant cutting off -- or blasting off -- the turrets and conning tower, but for the Kaiser, this is what they did instead: - float the ship - pour a hugeass slab of concrete on the seafloor below it - send divers under it with cutting torches to weaken the hull around the conning tower - release all the air, sending the ship to the bottom - the conning tower hits the concrete and is smashed through the weakened hull and interior decks, becoming flush with the top deck of the ship - send the divers back down to chain the remains of the conning tower in place - refloat the ship - profit At one point they were trying to raise the battleship Hindenburg, but it wasn't filling with air properly. quote:Divers were sent down outside the hull to look for leaks that had been missed, and one of them sent up a signal that he needed help—fast.

Cojawfee posted:Is that even a thing? What was that even hooked up to? Looks like they're trying to tighten (stretch) the track. Usually there's a hydraulic cylinder in the track that expands to tighten it. Often the cylinder is expanded w/hydraulic pressure from the machine, or even by manually pumping grease into it through a zerk. Apparently they've found a new way (the machines I'm familiar with took 1500 psi to tighten the tracks). Edit: Or they're having a lark.
