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? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Was a welder field tech where we made food processing equipment. It is difficult to describe the work goes into a machine like that, simply tuning it so its reliable, its actually the largest aspect of manufacturing such a piece of equipment. Not unreasonnable spending weeks getting them to run properly. Some machines, we'd make one off engineering drawings, fully knowing it won't work as it is, because you have to start someplace. We made these lipstick loading units, to fill their little containers, wasn't a lot larger than a big bar blender, spent two months tuning it. The hardest to fabricate and tune was a hot dog packaging machine. And it never worked 100%, had monthly battles with it for years. Then there's equipment say for loading the powder and pressing pharmaceutical pills. Story and a half tall, 3 to 6 ft stainless steel ducting feeding into venturi's going down to a few inches across. Crazy Frankenstein machines, 400hp electric motors running hydraulic rams. Everything made of 304 stainless steel alloy. All for a little pill. Shoots them little guys out like a machine gun.
Couple of YouTube channels featuring, well...just interesting machinery as the Does The Work. Shouldn't take much time searching to find one. The machines that make cookie dough cutter shapes? The critters look outlandishly overcomplicated but just will put you in an ASMR fugue state if you watch them too long. Warned You Have Been.
Or 1950's brassiere's...
ReplyDeleteI had to think about this video. I like the sugar cone maker.
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes them from scratch for our home made, pure Jersey cream ice cream. His sugar cones are delicious!
ReplyDeletewaffle cone maker. Engineering is neat.
ReplyDeleteIts a gatling gun uses sno cones for ammo.

ReplyDeleteThat’s fascinating. Thank you!
DeleteAs an engineer in a completely different field, I love watching machines like these.

it's brainporn. effectively calming.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wondering why no one takes tortillas & turns them into cones, and makes cone-tacos.
