I like to think that it's been established so far in this thread that while it's extra cool if it's part of a vehicle gone  , what we're all really here for is to see anything spectacularly broken. Anything. Please, do continue.

drzrma posted:The problem with both of those is that the propeller and the main engine/turbine are basically directly linked, there is no neutral, you don't get reverse until you bring everything to a halt so you can get it moving in the other direction. Shaft brakes are the solution to this This is where you slam it into reverse right away and then the shaft is broken amiright?

Cakefool posted:Even a 20" half full of water would weigh like 18 tonnes? you'd need a pretty big boat to contemplate it, unless you just wanted to tow it back to port & borrow a crane there. Then you open it & find 25 Chinese bodies, not the 1908 Jag you were hoping for. It seems like there's some obvious solution that involves an air pump and the industrial equivalent of an inflatable raft but I can't put my finger on it. orange lime posted:Why is he trying to push it back out? loving DHS.

orange lime posted:I thought about this, but I dunno if crates are airtight enough. I'd bet that all the air would rather just leak out cracks near the doors or something. This is what I was thinking of! And use a big version of the blow-up wedge that the pros use to crank open your door when you locked your keys in the car to force the doors to bend open and let the water out faster without just opening the whole side of the crate. Drilling is a lot of  Also, gently caress waiting to see what's in there until it's drained. Boroscope and a good light in through the wedged part before we even start putting real work into it.

ratbert90 posted:Eh, I understand it saves money, I just don't think that bad design is something that should ever be excused. I hate balance shafts, I really do, and putting them in I-4's is even worse as they shouldn't need them at all. Yeah those Porsche guys especially, when will they learn how to build cars. I was under the impression that balance shafts aren't just for compensating for a builder- or design-created imbalance across the crank and rods, they create an opposite wave pattern that cancels the resonance of the crank. Engines without balance shafts don't need them not because their rotating mass is built "better" but because the crank's vibration is being compensated for another way, perhaps with a harmonic balancer, a reduced redline or simply being overbuilt and letting the bulk damp it. e: nevermind, realized who I was arguing with

el topo posted:Those things are probably there to route the air a certain way so as to maximize cooling. A bit like how a computer runs cooler if you keep the case closed. This. The explanation I've always believed is that the extra expense of that sort of plastic shielding was justified by engineers being convincing about how much more they could micro-manage what happened where with air and heat versus just a swirling underhood airstorm. That poo poo under there isn't free; somebody had to convince bean-counters it was a good idea, and it's all over engine bays from this decade. Raluek posted:I think the consensus from the last time this was brought up was that it was for pedestrian impact safety. Some crap like hitting the hood would be less damaging if it has plastic bullshit under it or something. This seems... questionable. And goofy.

grover posted:It's great not just for the architectural design, but also the engineering breakthroughs that went into the cantilevered beams. Truly revolutionary stuff. The breakthroughs were achieved by the people who came after him and had to clean up his horrible messes when he tried to work "outside the box", FLW had no engineering backround and said things like "It will look like this and this is how you will make it look like this AND BY GOD IF YOU KEEP COMING IN HERE AND TELLING ME HOW IT CAN'T BE DONE YOU ARE loving FIRED!" The stories of the things that were invented to repair Falling Water as it disintegrated are pretty amazing; the house certainly belongs in this thread. Dude had an amazing eye and I love a lot of it but what a jackass. Also, when I visited Chicago I was totally loving jazzed to visit Robie House because I had fallen madly, stupidly in love with it and wanted to kidnap it and live in it forever, or at least take the tour and dream about it. Imagine my surprise to find out that whoever's preserving it has converted more than 50% of the interior area to a gift shop. I didn't even go in, it was like a kick in the stomach. Imagine having a huge boner for Mount Rushmore and finding out when you get there that there's only Washington and three heads constantly cycling the faces of moderately-famous pop stars from the mid-'90s.

Can't remember if I posted this here or in Photos From The Road; gently caress it, it's a current topic after all. A Mazda3 IIRC and a pair of semis, driver lived.
