This was obviously not a good system design, but a box full of relays and PLC controller cost a whole lot less than the all-in employer cost of an extra employee. They really shoul…

The scary part is how much real interpersonal communication data they have on users and what could be done with it in the wrong hands. What is their real business model? It can't j…

I see no reason this thing wouldn't lose compression or backflow exhaust gas after wear-in, and wear-in would happen quickly with the cyclic load on those ball bearings. It's a pre…

Guesses poorly too, based on the examples. The crack growth example is almost laughable. These are nowhere close to where real cracks would form. Cracks start on the inside corner …

That's for peak power. Efficiency is lost in the deformation bending and returning of the walls of each tire as it rolls. i.e. A really highly loaded tire needs to be really well p…
