St. Patty's Day, 2013

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Tish and Matt on the arrival of Eli Matthew!

 

 

Here are great mechanical principles and inventions.

1: Aircraft Radial Engine
 

 

 

2. Oval Regulation
 

 

 

3: Sewing Machines
 

 

 

4: Malta Cross movement -
second hand movement used to control the clock
 

 

 

5: Auto Change file mechanism


 

 

6: Auto Constant Velocity Universal Joint
 

 

 

7: Boxter Engine - it's cylinders lined up side by side
 

8: Gun Ammunition loading system
 

9: Rotary Engine - an internal combustion engine,

the heat rather than the piston movement into rotary movement
 

 

And all this leads to today's robot technology.

www.singularityhub.com

 has great videos on the bebionic arm, and window cleaning robots.

I also liked how the bigdog robot can throw cinder blocks.

No comment on the "Man shoots robot story".

 

 

 

this is hilarious!  Jeff Gordon is soooo cute!

A train made entirely of chocolate has set a new Guinness World Record as the longest chocolate structure in the world.
The sculpture, on display at the busy Brussels South station, is 112-feet (34.05 meters) long and weighs over 2,755 pounds (1250 kilos).
Maltese chocolate artist Andrew Farrugia spent over 700 hours constructing the masterpiece.

 

 

This might be the best sports footage ever compiled.
