    Hand Held Laser Welding ??

    Note that these use various tips that are dragged on the part. This keeps the distance constant, needed as laser welding is done with the beam focused, not collimated, so the useful range is limited. By the time the energy crossed the street it would be dispersed enough to not even peel the...

    Jokes! ( Not Necessarily Work Safe )

    On a similar thread, I have no idea where this came from but it's old enough to be audio only. http://w3.uwyo.edu/~jimkirk/guidance.wav This sounds like what inspired the Improbability Drive.

    Jokes! ( Not Necessarily Work Safe )

    Two married buddies are out drinking one night when one turns to the other and says, "You know, I don't know what else to do.

    Electra Meccanica (three Wheel Electric) Email-11/2/15

    Solo's batter is 16000WHr, so 16000WHr/20W = 800 hours, assuming 100% efficiency, which it isn't. Probably better off to carry a folding bike and pedal that.

    Jokes! ( Not Necessarily Work Safe )

    An oldie, but timely one.... An America couple was being shown around Moscow one day, when the man felt a drop hit his nose. "I think it's raining," he said to his wife. "No, that felt more like snow to me," she replied. "No, I'm sure it was just rain," he said. Well, as these things go...

    Are You A Lefty?

    I'm "cross-dominant" - I use my left hand for fine motor skills (writing, soldering), and my right hand for large motor skills (hammer, saw). A few things I can do with either hand (screwdriver). Took me years to figure out what it was called.

    Bike Trainer ,no Training Wheels

    It's hard to tell, but I believe the front fork is on backwards. The tabs where the front axle mount are typically in front of the fork axis, not behind. Changing it will increase stability a small amount. She looks like she'll be having fun no matter how it's set up!
