everything is compressible, the steel blade is compressible, that is in fact how strain gauges work, but yes it doesn’t compress very much and as a result the athletes body takes abuse. That’s why I was suggesting designing some compressibility in, though I realize there is a balance to be struck since adding…

you can get gearsets a couple hundred dollars, this system should cost less than 100$ to fit to an existing system. Yes there's margin, so call it 200, but there's no reason they can't offer it on a 500$ package.

That price is crazy, charging an order of magnitude more for a couple of servos, a small battery, and a microcontroller with a switch

platform base with a smaller cabin full of tinder built inside a bigger cabin to get things started. Later in the night that turns in to sort of a lean-to with a big log of ugly wood with reasonable size split logs leaning on it and a coal bed underneath. Makes for a nice fire to look at and sit around.

the lack of helmet doesn't bother me, the lack of fire protection does and given the horrible burns he got from one of his previous jet engine builds you would think it would be a greater concern for him too, but clearly not

that's for the leafblower that starts the jet. Check out the previous two build videos if you're curious

watch the series, it is the fart at france engine

Indeed, when it comes to threads in aluminum, just go straight for the Helicoil

Jewelry and a megaphone!

Well said. This study is probably accurate for North America and most of Europe, but not the whole world.

Posers are the problem, exact same thing on bikes as with sports cars.

Now if you can just find a bank or ATM next to a police station you've got it made!

Oh I agree with you they are garbage to try to ride on anything but a straight road, but for the person who just wants attention, they can't be beat for that.

They wanted to make a commuter but they used skinny high pressure tires, a paper thin seat and no suspension I can only imagine how uncomfortable this thing is to ride. That make's no sense.

have you ever blipped the throttle of a Harley? I'm going to guess not, its pretty great.

a lot of banks will let you deposit checks at an atm now, so you can meet at an atm and they can deposit the check immediately!

In North America this may be true. In Asia or Africa I doubt it. All I'm saying is that given the entire sample population came from one town you cannot claim the conclusions to be broadly true.

Lets be careful with generalizing the results of this study, given that all the data came from one street in Toronto. It seems like there is a high probability this isn't true globally.

it would be interesting to see the physical validation date for those side mounted elements. On my team a few people were sure it was a great idea, we ran some CFD simulations that showed that the air in that area is such garbage from the front wing and spinning tires that there was almost no benefit to them.

the biggest problem with this system will be how to keep drivers awake so when they need to take over they are actually ready to!
