Is this attaching to W deck or something with a flange at the bottom of your intended round post?
If it's an arrangement that doesn't require welding you could specify an epoxy coating for the steel. A heavy zinc flake might also work.
Two methods I'd want to investigate:
1) Eddy current brake. The torque level and amount of power you're talking about are not prohibitive. This may be expensive, depending on the exact configuration and range of control you need.
2) A friction brake - but wet, with an active cooling system...
A bolt is not intelligent - it does not 'know' whether it is threaded into a nut, or into a threaded hole in a casting or plate or whatever.
It stretches and applies preload to the joint just the same.
I'd suggest you try to find an entry level job with a surveying firm - always better to learn while someone else is carrying the insurance. You might have to take a step back in prestige/salary until you have your license (not sure how this works in the UK compared to the US). Also surveying...
It would take some legwork but you could figure out the mating connectors and make a little sub harness to go between the engine harness and solenoid... You'd need to dig in to a Deutsch catalog.
Sounds pretty reasonable to me.
Will the system re-activate if power is delivered to the solenoid without an engine restart?
If so, I'd investigate putting a switch in-line somewhere in the cabin so that when you're on the highway and want the deactivation again for best economy you can just...
This is correct. The controlling characteristic isn't the squish area, but the shortest path from any point to the flame front. So you can have very large squish area that won't cause a problem, if it's a constant diameter 'ring' around the perimeter which has a consistent, and short, path to...
When you write ridiculous criticism like that, keep in mind that this website is run at very low cost, and no profit, by a group of people that do it because they want to.
No one is getting rich off of being the host or a moderator of eng-tips.
You're insulting those people, and effectively...
Don't worry about it CW. Engrus is just still holding out hope that Mark Reuss is going to call him back and offer him a billion dollars to fix every single engineering issue that GM has ever had.
Everyone but him knows exactly how likely that is.
Dik, I don't know if you just lost your cool over the last few days and could no longer keep it in, but I am truly embarrassed for you.
From behind my keyboard, there can be only one possible explanation for the worldview you have expressed in this thread. It's so completely nonsensical and...
Metal deck w/o concrete is going to be LOUD. Assuming the architect is directing you to use the same W deck you would've used with concrete, I'm not even sure the decking is designed for that use case. I'd be looking to go to metal grating with water control underneath, or some other solution...
No it isn't. Good lord.
San Francisco proper has had tornadoes before - many times. One hit actual downtown San Francisco in 2005.
Know what the difference was between then and now? They didn't issue a warning in 2005 because weather radar resolution at that time didn't show rotation in the...
That's new vehicles sold in the month of May, 2024. That's not total vehicles on the road. Do the math, dik.
Or just go straight to the actual source. The actual number, according to the government of Norway, as of the end of September, is 26.5%.
Diesel = diesel
Bensen = Gasoline
Elektrisk =...
Sigh. This statistic is not true, please stop saying it.
93% of passenger cars sold in Norway in 2024 were electric.
The actual share of electric vehicles on the road in Norway is around 28%.
That 93% does not include commercial vehicles, where electric propulsion has all the same adoption...
Anyone who says there have been no advances in physics since the 1930s has done you a favor by clearly demonstrating that they have no idea what they are talking about
A second way someone can rapidly self-identify as a clueless moron is to enthusiastically declare allegiance to the nonsensical...
JoshPlumSe is talking about the original map posted by Dik - in which purple represents hot + arid.
On your map, purple represents IECC climate zone 7, titled 'very cold'.
Moisture IS a component of that map. That's the IECC climate zone map, which determines all sorts of things code related...
