I made a post earlier regarding melting the leak closed. Apparently it's being seriously considered, using, what I'm assuming is a controlled nuclear reaction, as opposed to a bomb. I heard on the radio yesterday that this idea came from the Russians, who supposedly used this technique successfully

What is the obvious difference between DHT(Dehydrogenation Heat Treatment) and ISR(Intermediate Heat Treatment)?

"The pages of automotive history are filled with accounts of strange and wondrous machines, each intended to revolutionize, or at least alter significantly the path of motor car progress.

Some fanciful ideas were promoted by quacks and charlatans only interested in

Some racing fans hold their breath when a pack of horses round the far turn to battle it out down the stretch of a racetrack. Will one stumble and collapse with a broken leg? Tragedies over the years have made us wary, and there is a lack of data to prove whether synthetic surfaces are safer

Standing poses also double as balancing poses, which tend to work the whole body rather than one specific muscle area – making them extra valuable. In addition to improving balance, standing poses also tend to improve your posture.

I'd like to know about the reason of using short grp pipes for connection grp pipeline to rigid structure (2*DN -2M max , 1*DN-1M - min).

is it possible to use 3 meter GRP pipe length or more to connect pipeline to the rigid structure.

we are using upvc pipes in our project for gravity sewage system . at some areas we face groundwater .

can we use coarse aggregate as bedding and initial and final backfilling material in groundwater areas . Or

we have to used sand only for bedding and initial and final beckfilling materia

hey thank you guys for teaching me how to calculate the efficiency of a transformer as

efficiency = (power out)/(power in) = (power out)/((power out) + (copper loss) +(core loss))

which totally makes sense, but now im looking at a text book thats having me involve the self inductance and m

I am looking for an immersible 110V heating element to keep a low% alcohol solution at 40C. It has to be able to run dry as solution will evaporate (glass won't do). I have tried hot water tank heating elements but the ones I have been able to obtain do not have enough temp control i.e. too hot. Any

Meanwhile, I have several chunks of Ironwood, an extremely hard wood with a beautiful grain.

It has ocurred to me that I might be able to tumble these pieces of wood with an appropriate medium like walnut shells, and polish them to a

Ever since I built my first soda can solar heater three years ago, I've received plenty of input on how to improve the design for better heat output. For that reason, I never hooked up the first one – in fact, I gave it away to a friend – and set about building a bigger, better ver

I was surprised to see that the cat was maimed in a farm Harvester accident over in England.

I wondered why the cat got hurt? Was it lack of training? What laws govern the farm employment of Cats over their in Jersey?

I'm looking for a lightweight "grout" to cover the outside of an old log house. Something similar to plaster, weather resistant, paintable, having some ability to move with the normal expansion and contraction of the logs. Some "R" value would be great. Spray on or trowel, could use wire cloth for a

Anyone have any experience with the manufacturer MTH and using their pumps at 500 psig and above? They make a regenerative turbine that is less expensive than the competitors, but are having a hard time referring me to customers using them at 500 psig, even tho they are rated to 1000 psig.
