Yes! Well reminded, I’d found it then gone off on a tangent and bought a book called “the boy engineer” which is pretty interesting too.

The cheerfully-named “nuclear war survival skills” book by the Oak Ridge national laboratory is what I was thinking of.

Here’s a link - Nuclear War Survival Skills: Updated and Expanded 1987 Edition https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/094248701X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Mi6BCb8DZ4HT9

The YouTuber that makes the auger is called chucke2009.
He says that he actually got the idea from a book published by a welder manufacturer, so I may be wrong about where it came from, but the above book is pretty interesting none the less - I shows how to build a wood gasifier to run a generator, things like that!
He also builds a hench bench grinder from a truck axle, that’s pretty good too.

>To the extent that Huawei copies other parties' IP, it is unlikely to suffer consequences in China because it does not subscribe to international IP norms.

Yes but the Chinese market is so big they don't care and it is only growing. The US market is also huge but we already are disinclined to purchase Huawei products, yet they are still top 3 in phone sales globally.

You asked how copyright laws handicap innovation? I'm speaking on the overall technological innovation of a society, currently the US' overall technological innovation is being hindered, in part, by copyright laws such as the DMCA and DRM.

​

In the book, AI Superpowers, the author, Kai-Fu Lee, argues much the same, but in the specific lens of Artificial Intelligence. He goes in to explicit detail about many examples, much better than I could explain them. There you will specifically find the examples you demand, then you can go and tell him he has no idea what he is talking about.

Interesting fact: The turbopumps were designed and manufactured by Pratt & Whitney. Rocketdyne's designs were always marginal and after the Challenger disaster Pratt was asked to redesign them. They were initially reluctant because they were in the running to build the shuttle motor but felt politics left them on the outside. It's in a very good book I have called "Advanced Engine Development at Pratt and Whitney: The Inside Story of Eight Special Projects, 1946-1971" with a bunch of other interesing stuff like a hydrogen powered turbojet for a spyplane and a high powered chemical laser.

Found it through google using following keywords: "plan original tour eiffel"

If you like those drawings, this book is pretty neat

interesting. reminds me of this thing i picked up in an Ace a few weeks ago: http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-ATR28-8-Inch-Ratcheting-Adjustable/dp/B008NM6VIC

granted you have to manually adjust the mouth opening but that allows for a greater range of possible nut sizes. OPs would be really good if you find yourself having to adjust a lot of nuts that have only a small difference in size.

If you enjoyed this video you might enjoy this book: The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation.

Like that but with a safety rating.

Amazon to the rescue!

All depends on what you do. Sure, many engineers stay at their desks their whole lives, just as many engineers are out in the field or on the floor working alongside the technicians.

Read Skunkworks. Rich goes into detail a couple times that Kelly Johnson, the father of Skunkworks would make sure his engineers were right next to the assembly line at all times. This allowed the engineers to still design what they needed to work on, but also go right to the floor in a matter of seconds to fix or check what they needed to.

Despite this video's great optimism, the M16 was borderline rejected by troops on the ground for unreliability and the need for constant cleaning. Many troops wouldn't give up their M1s or M14s. A fascinating book on the US service rifle is American Rifle.

What separates this product from one like this?

I think this is it in action.

And another user pointed out that this is the amazon link. I might get one myself, kinda cool!

I'll use it to power my Galaxy Note 5! /s

Use a small nail bar and a hammer. Then just use wood filler in the hole left by the nail. Sand over the wood filler a bit. Job done

> This is traditionally known as an external combustion engine in contrast to an internal combustion engine where the heat input is by combustion of a fuel within the body of the working fluid. Unlike the steam engine's use of water in both its liquid and gaseous phases as the working fluid, the Stirling engine encloses a fixed quantity of permanently gaseous fluid such as air or helium. As in all heat engines, the general cycle consists of compressing cool gas, heating the gas, expanding the hot gas, and finally cooling the gas before repeating the cycle. -- from purchase link below

Definitely up to 1".

I'd be pretty sure there are some even larger ones out there if you know where to look, but thus far I haven't come up with any.

EDIT: Holy crap, Wikipedia says socket wrenches go up to "3 1⁄2-inch square drive sizes". Whoa.

I didn't see anyone post this, but this is a great book with those kinds of stories.

Here's the 2019 version. Not much has changed.

I would say start with Griffiths Electrodynamics, and maybe a calc book, then go from there.

it is literally just a $US69 single component sensor that needs to be replaced - plus the cost of replacing the blade if the blade is damaged. (The blades aren't always damaged and usually don't need to be replaced)

https://www.amazon.com/SawStop-TSBC-10R2-Cartridge-10-Inch-Blades/dp/B001G9MGZQ

Yup. You blow a 70 dollar cartridge plus wreck your blade:

You don't think it'd be better if we had diplomatic relations with those countries so that they trusted us not to build crazy expensive aircraft, and thus we wouldn't need to either? Don't you see how this is perpetuating the global military-industrial-congressional-complex? Which is terrible for literally everyone, except for political insiders, lobbyists, and employees at fraudulent military contracting companies.

Then again, most of your posts are about the F-35 and other killing machines, (/u/dragon029 is a fucking MOD of /r/F35lighting) which means that you're likely employed by the MICC that I rail against. Or a delusional sociopath. Or both.

Whatever it is, I'd be interested to know what kind of mental gymnastics you tell yourself in order to justify that it's "okay" to spend trillions of dollars on a weapon of war. Is the China/Russia military the only one? Or are there others? Lastyl, have you never listened to Eisenhower's speeches? Have you read this book? Or this one? Or are you also an anti-intellectual?
