Ah, thankyew. I have it, no wonder I couldn't find it. And thanx for the spelling lesson--I wasn't sure how to spell it.

I went into my files to look for the Coomber but I cannot find it. I thot I had ALL of Elmer's engines but apparently not., I wanted to look at the drawings so I could understand what it is supposed to look like. I swear I have redrawn it somewhere, but we all know how files can become mixed...

I've been working on becoming a physician at YTU (youtube uni) and learn brain surgery so I can operate on myself. Just to save the high cost that surgery has.

can you show a photo of your actual motor?

Is that actually as quiet as it seem? What an interesting beam engine. Is it possible to see the opposite side? It looks like two cylinders but could be a pump or something.

Thaat's the way schools should be now. What a travesty

Yup, saw that. Their lack of safety, however, was what really caught my attention.

Yes, I noticed they had no ppe and a couple guys didn't even have glasses. Piss poor examples to students. The wet metal was laughable, we always put metal about to be added on top to the lid while heating to be sure it was dry.

the basis of how that little shocker workt is how the transformer works. When a DC circuit is closed, a huge spike in Voltage AND current occurs in about or less than a 1/1000 of a sec. I don't know the exact amounut of time but that this occurs is important to how a transformer transforms...

LOL, I was not a nerd, I was a 'geek' and yes, in high school I did exactly that: wore a slide rule on my belt! In 1975 I bought my first calculator--it cost 156.09$. Now that calculator can be bought for 10$ The calculators I use now are completely unnecessary in power for what I use them...

You SHOULD be upset. They are doing the same to your children and grandchildren. We are being bred like pigs, chicken and cattle--to produce labor and to keep our mouths shut about the problems this all brings about. Some people thimpfk that as soon as AI is able to replaace us all, that the...

At a christmas party, my nephew put a shocking toy in my hand. not know what it was , I pressed the button. It shocked me, but when I get something like that done, I generally react without thimpfking--it was very heavy and I threw it across the room. lucky to not hit anyone as the room was...

I thimpfks that the subject of real education is so IMPORTANT, I will risk the ire of being off topic. Likewise the recovery of an important food species. Notice the two subjects are like a marriage, two become one which makes three! LOL As far as being 'cool', cool rhymes with 'fool' and...

When I was a kid (last week) I knew nothing about how tubes (valves), transformers or electricity in general workt. Had I known, I could have built my own radios (besides the crystal radios that I did indeed build). I bought a kit that you could build 18 projects with, it was fun, the only...

I thimpfks these guys are just misusing the word 'rectifiy'. We first language English speakers understood that the original person meant "inverter". When I was a kid (yesterday), we had radios in cars that had ancient technology for the radio for the amplification of the weak radio waves...

I know how that goes, when I was a little kid (last week), I had a wrench with which I took thge bolt off my tri-cycle handle bars. lost the bolt in the gravel and never found it. What a great disappointment. I learned from that to be careful where I put parts. NOw I ustually try to put nuts...

I just tried that. It gives the LENGth not angle. Must be another way. Ah, got it. click on the starting point, "enter", add the length, tab, add the angle! Thanx, this will help a lot, won't have to put in a circle to acheive the same thing

Ah, I know what the problem is with Atom: There are a couple possible solutions to the angle problem, (of course, I don't really know for sure what problem you're having), the first and most important would be to make a new drawing plane at an angle usually at 90deg to the part you want to...

out of curiosity, just what are the limitations? I use Atom almost exclusively now and have little complaint. Anything that is in a magazine or book, I can generally draw.

Ah, so you used Alibre. You have overcome the problems you were having with it. Yeah, I had probs with it too but kept trying till I got it. So how do you like it now?
