I think you will find that material prices are <20% of the capital cost.

I assume as transistor density increases, you get more chips per wafer.

Pretty difficult to get any form of accuracy with this because you can't easily account for tyre sidewall stiffness

Well it also covers all of the sub-systems on the aircraft as well, from countermeasures to communications down to how to evacuate the aircraft toilet waste. The information in tha…

Seems novel in that they are combining the best of current rotary atomizers and electrostatic guns, and removing the need for compressed air. If you look at current electrostatic g…

No idea what the stock seal would be made from. Nitrile is commonly used in hydraulics as natural rubber doesn't play nice with hydrocarbons.

In terms of a general statement, its a bit misleading to state that sintered metal gears retain the improved strength of traditional metal gears. They are a lot stronger than plast…

Read the sentence immediately preceding the one you quoted, her reasoning is to "bask in a glorious downhill". She needs the full width of the road to give a larger margin of error…

I cycle and also occasionally tow (which puts me in the group of annoying slow road users). My frustration with these type of articles is they only ever ask for the road to be shar…

We don't have the luxury of McMaster Carr here, but a quick search suggests that they have history and expertise in supplying engineering equipment which explains why they are so m…

Yeah wire gauge fasteners is definitely weird, not something I've used, but from a quick look they exist, although I'm not sure if they get much use. Castle nuts are a bit of an od…

Stainless I would argue belongs in material not in grade and class as these are different attributes. You can get grade 10.9 bolts in stainless, black, zinc plated and possibly in …

Fastener classification does tend to be a bit vague at best. Generally I find generic terms are used for low grade products, and often for products which you may struggle to find p…

The difference between zinc plated fasteners and hot dip galvanised fasteners is actually quite significant. Zinc is usually around the 20micron thickness possibly less, whilst gal…

By not marketing it as a replacement for the 7, Apple has managed to significantly bump the price of the device with barely anyone the wiser. Anyone hazard a guess at the increase …

Does this imply that the well educated wall street folk might be out of touch with 'America'?

The HiMAT basically demonstrated this. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much information online about the program, however some books I've read note that the program was a su…
