Engine out. Despite being insanely dusty this car is surprisingly clean and everything has come apart really easily. There's not a spot of rust anywhere on the chassis and corrosion seems to have limited itself to the aluminium body panels Some plasticky bits have not fared so well  At least the belts are intact and the engine turns over easily so with any luck it'll still make some compression

wesleywillis posted:Wow! For a machine that size thats...... Not a lot. I converted that to ftlbs (freedom units that we still occasionally use in canuckistan) and thats about 3700 ft lbs. The drill I run is just about 3300. Its tiny in comparison to that one. But yeah, if you're coring and constantly flushing the hole with air or water, you don't need as much. Yeah the lake rig is huge and impressive because it's a lake rig. Making something that won't sink to its doom as soon as you get it out on the salt is a decent feat. We also have a reverse circulation rig set up on the salt lake that consists of the rig, support vehicle, booster and lake walker, all daisy chained together with air and water hoses. The RC rig tops out at about 17k Nm, and with one booster we can push it to around 300m depth. I was on it on Saturday morning, finishing up a 280m hole and it took us two and a half to drill the last 15m, very slow going that deep. I've seen RC rigs get down to 500m but at that depth they're running two boosters and drilling even slower.

Colostomy Bag posted:OK, dumb loving question, what is the end goal or what is the job? Gold exploration. Drilling holes in the ground isn't actually that hard, but drilling holes in the ground and getting samples of what you're drilling through is. Aircore and reverse circulation drills bring up rock chips from what you're drilling as well as bulk samples that you can get assayed for gold. Aircore only goes to the first layer of fresh rock, so you use it to drill hundreds of holes in a grid to map what's down there. Then you can use reverse circulation drilling to target specific layers or structures, and diamond drilling (deeper, far more accurate and controllable) to hit specific targets.

I wasn't entirely sure which of the threads this would fit best. But imo these truck designs, with their focus on technology and aerodynamics, convey a of optimism about the future that has almost completely disappeared from modern automotive design:       Never seen it in the wild though. I think the first truck is the one with the brown interior, which was the concept. The others were the ones of which a small series was produced.

Luigi Colani is the designer, I think that truck design was actually used as some super exotic RV a few years back. Though whether that was a company selling it as a concept I dunno.

Though whether that was a company selling it as a concept I dunno. This one?  Also does away with the windshield wiper motor. But I think without a long freight car in the back, it doesn't look nicely proportioned imo.Colani as a designer seemed to have loved dynamic, flowing shapes and glossy finishes. He also expressed himself in a bunch of household appliances and glossy furniture. The taste of the late 1980s and 90s must have really helped him here. He was eventually also involved in an even more radical truck design:    Godholio posted:I love everything about this except the soft materials in the interior.

Applebees Appetizer posted:You are doing the Lord's work good sir. Not sure really but my guess is just age and the type of plastic it's made of; interestingly only the sensor side of the connector disintegrated and not the harness side. The ignition phase sensor on the back of the cam suffered a similar fate as well as the rear ABS sensors  From what I've been able to figure out the car has come from Macau and has been in storage since 2007 judging from the date on a newspaper found in the car lol

It’s all fiberglass, which is starting to flake off, and screws and glue. The interior is especially bad, but you can tell that even from the pictures you posted. From further away, they do look very 90s future though.

 Aww yeah, fat old Cadillac. Wait, what's going on at the back there?    Cadillac Mirage, mid 1970s, built by Traditional Coach Works, based on the Coupe de Ville. They made something like 240 of them and one sold on BaT for about 50k last March. (all images are links to enormous versions) Memento fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jul 15, 2019 |
