"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
My engineering degree project was a water powered generator. A 6' diameter water wheel using 3' threaded rods, with double electrical outlet boxes to catch the water, a bunch of wheels with fan belts, one gear pair as the final torque was high, hooked to a double point GM car generator connected to a car's fuse box. So naturally I moved to a desert.

Yeah, but if you can find a stream, you'll know how to build a water-powered generator, and it'll be the only one in town.
ReplyDeleteNice masonry work, and a sound design. But I hoping to see a generator ....
ReplyDeleteNext project: destroy the dam by remote control aircraft dropping bombs. Woo hoo!
Mechanical engineers build weapons, Civil engineers build targets.
DeleteCombat engineers use the weapons to blow up the targets! Essayons!
ReplyDeletethe engineering circle of life... beautifully efficient.
