I'm impressed by people who post helpful stuff like this...

....and I'm curious how many of the regulars here have assembled something like that?

Well, my website (see sig) doesn't have much, though my older one has a
few projects;

I started on this

but haven't kept it up.

Do you have the lat/lon of the:

"Old transcontinental railroad tunnel,
near the China Wall and the old
Lincoln Highway"

 

[hamilton]

It's on Donner Pass Road, just below the Rainbow Bridge. Google Earth has it at
about 39.19.03N 120.19.13W.

I just downloaded Google Earth and it did not like the lat/lon supplied.

Does anyone have an conversion for this format to one that Google Maps
likes ?

Thanks


If you start there on foot, you can walk easily over

So, now I know how to fix my scooter tire,
this summer I pumped it full from some spray can, and made it to the repair shop.
New tyre, the repair man did not like thw stuff from the can... its poison.
I always carry such a repair can.

Some cars are supplied with a repair kit (can, little compressor)
rather than a spare. Run-flat tires are brutal.

As to websites projects, I beat this guys:

You can drive for miles in the old tunnels and snow sheds.

I sort of have a thing for abandoned industrial stuff, like mines, tunnels,

factories.

If he worked on that kind of affection for antiques a bit, he'd be able to buy heavily gapped pot cores with a central hole into into which he could screw an adjuster and use it to make himself a trimmable inductor.

Sadly, this kind of technique isn't quite obsolescent enough to be glamorous, so he has to make his trimmable tanks circuits with switches and loads of capacitors.

If you're in the Tahoe area this summer, don't miss the Shakespeare.

Shakespeare's been dead long enough for his stuff to be fashionably antique. EPCOS is still making the parts you can put together to make trimmable inductors, so they are merely old-fashioned.

Argh.. Run-flat tires! They are on my wife's minivan. (You can drive with a flat.. but that ruins the ~$200 tire in ~10 miles.) I've told her that when we go through the current "batch" we'll get regular tires and put a spare up on the roof. (Then it will be like a land cruiser. :^)

I did see these on Google Earth.

Seems as reasonable as any other frat.

How is a processed strain gage reaction
going to be able to overcome the force
of momentum on such a machine?

Are these water jet cutters really slow
compared to plasma cutters?
