General Discussion / Dithioanthracene
« on: March 28, 2008, 01:11:39 AM »
This is shattering stuff, that will change the world.
Let's hope Dithioanthracene doesn't teach Cycloalkanes any new tricks or we could end up with our fuel sneaking out of the fuel tanks and going on it sown road trips.

The walking molecule

Found this Indian vender

http://stores.ebay.ca/PKI-TOOLS-SHOP

Prices seem good since a single Warwick 5/16 tap cost me $15.00.

Shipping also seems way lower than we have come to expect from such distances...

Just some sales stuff from Conie about the TF engines. I thought the fact the engine numbers seem to follow close to the Chinese worth posting and note the top right " Non-EPA certified"

Other Slow Speed Diesels / Daihatsu DM950D
« on: February 18, 2008, 04:13:27 AM »
Does anyone have any experience with the Daihatsu DM950D

This engine is sold in the USA as a Briggs and Stratton Vangard diesel and its the engine in the Kawasaki diesel mule and might also be in some Bobcats or other light construction machines.

Websearch hasn't turned up any useful info on it and I'd like to find out if they are worth the trouble to strip and rebuild

General Discussion / Old tools
« on: February 12, 2008, 03:08:22 AM »
Recently I was looking for a Coleman kero presure lamp and I stumbled on some blow torches on Ebay and this link

http://www.blotorches.com/

Turns out more people collect this stuff than I ever amagined so I thought maybe we start a thread about antique tools or that old favorite in the back of the box that still does some serious work

And maybe we can post some pictures.....

Here we have a 150 hp engine driving a GE and Weg induction set.

I think the reason for the tandon set up is that was all he had.

Cool stuff....

Wiring makes my hair stand up....

I have this problem with things following me home.

A large UPS.
A pile of Teck cable.
Some electrical panels.
A large drill press.

I have 24 hours to clear the snow and move everthing out of the drive and into the make shift work shop. Or Bus meets stuff in the most brutal way lol

Excuses like its free and I could sell it and I will use it and I'm just holding it for someone....

General Discussion / Depressing articles collection
« on: January 21, 2008, 02:01:03 AM »
For your enjoyment I link for you and evenings reading of doom sayers and gloom spreading.

Don't ask me how much is truth or hype, its just a lot of opinion and facts from the Internet.

Lets hope there are true alternatives to fossil fuel..

By playing follow the link I just found this wonderful site by Chevron that admitts
"Oil production is in decline in 33 of the 48 largest oil producing countries,"

http://www.willyoujoinus.com/energy-issues/supply/?s=0

So I guess that settles it for me, time to run in small circles waving my hands in the air and scream like a little girl....
No not realy I'm going to stick my head in the snow untill I get an Ice cream head acke that numbs me back to the blind march of the rest of Suburbia around me.....

Have a nice day lol....

Everything else / Solenoids
« on: January 19, 2008, 09:59:45 PM »
The parts fairy dropped a Woodward RSV type shut down solenoid for Bosch inj3ection pump in my lap ( this is for an inline 6 pump from a Duetz )

Question:

Pull and hold wires are self explanitory but hold long can this thing hold is it intended for continues hold?.

I was thinking this might be a very effective way to yank a Roid injection pump rack closed. I'm also thinking it might be of some use as a decompression lever actuator.
