And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

it's a nice tool to help clean the debris left over from various enterprises. some day, someone is going to invent a "magnet" for non-ferrous materials as is left on the floor of the hangar. like aluminum and titanium and stainless rivets and shavings.
No kidding! Oh how I have wished for such a thing. I met a pilot who pointed to a 4 blade prop on the wall of his hanger. It looked pristine. It was but he said take a closer look. A bit of safety wire had lodged in the leading edge of a blade and had nearly cut through the blade.
He didn't notice until at run-up of his newly restored P-51 that he noticed a glint in the prop arc that didn't seem right. He narrowly avoided a very bad crash on departure.
There is actually an 'aluminum magnet' but it pushes aluminum away. Weird physics thingy. You can see them occasionally at recycling centers (real ones, not the sham ones that just send everything to the landfill anyways.)
Used them in the shipyards quite a bit. We would use steel shot to blast the nonskid off the flight decks of big deck amphibious ships and carriers and use those to sweep up the shot that was not picked up by the heavy duty vacuums!
Such a good article. Terribly spectacular and Interesting to read, additionally nice to learn a lot of new information. Thanks for sharing this with us. I additionally share some relevant article best magnetic sweeper for grass, I hope it helps a lot.

ReplyDeleteI don't remember the brand we bought, but does quite well. Seems like we keep coming up with nails ad infinitum. :)
ReplyDeleteI use one by the water bucket under my belt grinder for metal dust. It grabs a lot that would otherwise be on the floor
