Sagebrush posted:I don't think those are the kind of trucks that go from one job site to another. They get them to the mine somehow, and they just stay there until the mine closes or they're scrapped. Yeah. Those Komatsu trucks at least leave the plant as a mostly complete frame via rail car or an oversized load tractor trailer*. Most of the stuff that is inside the frame will be installed, including the diesel engine, along with a few bits that don't stick out too far. Everything else is shipped separately to the final destination where it all gets assembled. *I think those ones get put on a barge a short distance away Here's a timelapse of the 930e getting assembled. At 0:29 you can see the frame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4Zvq-bboaQ xzzy posted:A Caterpillar engineer I was chatting with once explained that a lot of those rigs are custom designed specific to the job site, and yeah, they're shipped in parts. Still really loving big parts, but a little bit more manageable. A lot of the equipment isn't all that much different from a car when it comes to the purchase. You pick the general type of thing you want and then choose the options. The bigger stuff is somewhat low volume and costs millions of dollars though so the dealers are usually pretty happy to make sure the customer is happy and gets what they need. I don't know that every single truck is unique but the design is usually being constantly refined so it might be close. Cat actually has a UAV group now to survey mine sites and such and help the mine owners increase efficiency. Galler fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Jan 22, 2016 |

The Locator posted:My guess from the size and shape is that those are electric drive motors and these things work like diesel/electric locomotives, but without rails. Yup. Komatsu's big haul trucks are diesel/electric. They also have some 'small'er diesel only (usually referred to as mechanical drive) trucks. Cat still has a lot of mechanical drive trucks, including their biggest truck IIRC, but has been making progress on electric drive trucks and have a number of electric drive versions.

As Nero Danced posted:The programmers dilemma. Which is worse: it's broken and I don't know why, or it's fixed and I don't know why. It's broken and I don't know why is the expected state. It's fixed and I don't know why means it's actually still broken, but now I can't easily troubleshoot it and it's going to fail at some inconvenient point in the future. In fact, it will probably fail again while I'm working on something unrelated causing an 'it's broken and I don't know why' situation.

I've only put a couple hundred miles on my bike over the past few years. I like riding but the weather here is garbage 10 months of the year and there aren't too many places worth riding to. Looks like I'm moving to Oregon though so maybe I'll get some more riding in out there.

I've only seen a handful of foot activated hatches being used out in the wild but none of them have seemed to work all that well. It's usually someone with their hands full barely managing balance on one leg while swinging the other around under the car for 20 seconds until it finally pops open or they give up and use their hands. I'm not sure if it's user error, if the sensor gets covered in road grime immediately after exiting the dealer lot, or if the system just kind of sucks.

Saukkis posted:Install a longitudal battery at the center line, with openings at the front and back. Drive straight at a fresh battery, let it push the old battery out the back. An 18650 battery is 18mmx65mm so this would be, what, a couple 36013000 batteries? I really like the idea of the pit stop being a car rotisserie where they flip the car over, pop open the hatch, and pull out and 3-4 giant cylindrical batteries, replace cover, and put it back on on its wheels. Preferably with the driver inside the whole time. E: I checked the ifixit guide for replacing the battery in my surface pro 3 and, well, it's just going to spend the rest of its life tethered to the wall. I'm kind of surprised it can still go 1-2 hours unplugged after nearly 8 years (holy poo poo... If someone had walked up and asked me how long I had had that thing I would have been like idk 4 years?) Galler fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Feb 8, 2022 |

boxen posted:So, imagine all the effort it takes to make drag cars go fast and instead design a car that when you push the go pedal, the front wheels come off the ground. Ditch the go fast bit entirely. That's gotta be cooler than going in a straight line, right? That's a good starting point but I want the front wheels to keep going around. Burnout -> staging -> backflip -> 1/4 mile pass

There are horror stories for every insurance company. 10ish years ago a tornado took out a chunk of Washington, IL. I was living about 10 miles away and was fine, but I knew plenty of people who were directly or indirectly affected by it and the people with State Farm had a much worse time than those with any other insurance provider. You would think State Farm might put in a little bit of effort when their customers are 30 miles away from State Farm HQ but nah.
