Some of these don't have a description because I was a dummy and deleted the link from my favorites before I could copy relevant information.

something called "smart bolts" ?

Site that sold this is now non-existant, but it supposedly cost $90.

True fact: this is how the Powerpuff girls hands work.

It had this horrible music over it instead of clicky sound so I removed it.

Vibrating Reed Tachometer. For engines probably?

This is kinda the same as the other one.

Lost the original link. I think this is somewhere Scandinavian maybe?

#1 I love the engine-turned finish on that. It's something totally unnecessary, but the tool is better for it.

#12 this is zero tolerance machining. Usually created using an EDM machine. You can create insanely accurate surfaces. The two parts shown would be made from seperate hunks of material, not cut from one chunk that puzzle pieces together.

CheeseIsNaturesFudge

These are not made with EDM, these are CNC milled.

While drawing blueprints by hand is cool, my I don’t have good fine motor skills. I because of cad I am still an engineer designing parts, and fuck yeah for being able to adjust designs

As I said the last time this video came up, before firing, be absolutely sure that your foot or any other essential bits are not inside a rope loop.

#1 I got an A in A-level ( Advanced Placement ) Technical Drawing 3 years before AutoCAD came out which quickly made pretty much everything I learned obsolete.

localsurfer

Not really. You still need to learn geometric constructs and how to dimension drawing properly even with 3D cad, let alone acad.

Hey now my certificate program included AutoCAD and I don't use it all l anymore

I took a class on robotics, we never touched a robot in it, we only did 'theoretical' robot programming based on poorly xeroxed manuals of a 30 year old 6 axis robot. It was mainly a class on coordinate transforms. On the last day of the actual class (before finals) the professor said 'this class is basically useless because software does it all for you now' (or something like that)

I program robots, and while it is pretty easy these days it's still very useful to know what those transforms are actually doing under the hood.

Yea, I get that, but when I signed up for a robotics class I was hoping to get to play with one. I didn't even get to touch one in college, it wasn't until like my 3rd year in the automation control industry when one of our suppliers offered a UR training class, that I got to actually work with one.

That sucks

#29 Attitude, not altitude. It allows you to know where the sea meets the horizon and whether you are inverted or not.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attitude_indicator

judgewolfgm

Better check YOUR attitude. Wheres the indicator for that, huh??

THAT'S MY PURSE, AND I DON'T KNOW YOU!

thanks. I'll change it right away.

No worries. Used to trip me up too. Generally we bounce signals off the ground to monitor altitude. But no pilot wants to crash into the sea and when you're up there sometimes the sea and the sky are the same color.

naturebowgame2000

l don't understand; can't you just watch the horizon outside the window?

So, in low visibility conditions (or at night), the visual difference between the sky and the ocean or a large body of water is much harder for a pilot to discern. The link to the Wikipedia article I linked explains some but think about it this way. A fighter pilot for instance is concentrating on a lot of things at once and this gives an Immediate orientation at a glance. Flight instruments are meant to augment the senses because it's easy to lose track of orientation in such conditions.

Standing on land, it's very easy to orient yourself because you have the ground and your connection to it to orient yourself. A gymnast can experience what's called Twisties where they lose orientation while doing twists or flips. That's dangerous for someone who's less than 15' off the ground. A pilot is operating at a much higher altitude and as a result, if they lose orientation they run the risk of crashing into the ocean. When you don't have land masses to orient yourself it becomes much

harder still. This device and flight instruments like it have helped make flying less dangerous for everyone involved.

absolutely fascinating! thank you for taking the time to explain this to me!!!

No problem.
