    Jet engine vs Rocket engine

    Dave, there were two answers each less than 20 :) Take out the word "engine" and you can combine both for less than 20 words. Now you're being vague. You want a specific answer but aren't giving enough of a clue as to what you want. Sounding a bit like my wife ::) I know it's all in fun, so...

    Jet engine vs Rocket engine

    I'll bite: 1) A rocket engine carries it's own oxidizer. I jet doesn't. 2) A rocket engine can operate in a vacuum, a jet can't. Take your pick.

    RED XXXXXXXXXXXXX's

    Ok, that helps a bit. Office 2000 has nothing to do with it though, unless you meant Windows 2000. Win 2000 shouldn't make any difference. All the smileys are showing up just fine for me. It must be a setting on your system that is blocking the download. Are you running any kind of virus...

    RED XXXXXXXXXXXXX's

    Well, a bit of a clue what you are talking about might help. Red "x"s usually indicate that a picture or graphic of some sort could not be downloaded to your browser. Is that what the problem seems to be? Is it happening on all threads or just some? I've checked a few threads and all the...

    Quad Rocker

    Messe, the designer's name is Terry Coss. I'm sure you could Google it and find his web site, I don't know it off hand. You'll probably also get many videos about the Quad and and his other designs.

    Something wrong with the way this forum looks

    Everything looks fine here. Tried both Firefox and IE8 on WinXP. Also with Firefox on Linux. All look fine. I have had on occasion a glitch that caused only text to show, but they have been very rare and a reload fixes it. You guys might want to try clearing out the cache and temp files...

    A Ringbom Engine

    Hey Doc! Man, that sure runs great! I didn't know you were that far along in the build. Sneaky... Congrats on the runner. I'm sure the others will turn out just as well.

    Crusader .60s (x2)

    W/E, It's good to see you back in the shop and moving on with the Crusader. Are you still planning to build two of them? Sorry I haven't commented till now. I've been watching but time is in rather short supply the last few months.

    A new level in small engines

    Interesting. But my AVG anti-virus threw up an alarm when I clicked on the picture.

    Humour

    Cletus is passing by Billy Bob's hay barn one day when, through a gap in the door, he sees Billy Bob doing a slow and sensual striptease in front of an old green John Deere. Buttocks clenched, he performs a slow pirouette, and gently slides off first the right strap of his overalls, followed...

    A bit of synergism

    Nice one, Marv! I've always felt that the most elegant "redneck engineering" solutions leave the parts intact for their original purpose. This fits the bill perfectly!

    my new granite surface plate

    I've used a granite floor tile to good effect for several years. The lines I draw are just for reference anyway. Look at the reflection of a florescent tube, if it appears straight then I think you're good to go Thm: Any dishing of the surface would make the reflection appear to bow. The...

    Post Times

    Dave, The time displayed is whatever you have your time zone set to in your profile. So, if you have it set to your local time zone (instead of the default Zulu) then it will show the post at your local time.

    How Much PSI

    Not to be contrary, Ken, just a warning: oil or grease in the boiler is not a good idea. It'll attach itself to the shell and carborize causing hot spots that will eventually burn through. Even a small amount will do it. Just need to make sure that the boiler gets a very thorough cleaning before...

    Firefox reload question

    Sounds like a Java issue. You might try clearing out the java cache in windows control panel. Also updating java may help.

    We're back!!

    Sorry about the outage, we had another hack attempt. This time his poorly formed code left the site unavailable. Because of work obligations I didn't get to cleaning it up till just a few minutes ago.

    Steampunk

    You're listening to the wrong stuff, Marv. Lady Gagme even makes the cat run for cover faster than I can grab the shotgun. Try some older Yes or Pink Floyd. Not to the same par as Liszt or Mozart but certainly better than those pikers Gershwin or Rachmaninoff. There's even a video out of...
