Kero sprayers

So am I. My chain's never failed.

 

Yeah, it was a primary belt that got his primary finger.

What if the Chinese comes in a cardboard container?

 

I was going to try this, but I can't find anywhere selling
Bavarian take-away.

I have shaft drives nowadays so drive line mess/lube is something that i
really enjoy not thinking about. But good to see you can take advice...it
did happen to these 2 fellas & they were both in the 'you'd have to be an
idiot to let it catch you' club prior to joining that club.

 

I spose if your sitting in a waiting room for 12 hours waiting to be looked
at & youve got a mobile with a cam in it....but man i feel sorry for
him/her. I took the top of mine off with a hand saw. The saw jamed in a tree
branch so i gave it a big push.. cheap plastic handle split open & the back
of the blade came into the handle. I can still remember those deadening
needles going in & i recon the entire hospital can still remember what i
said.

Dont **** with running bike chains girls & boys. At least riders of messy
bikes have 10 fingers.

 

work?

Carotin?

Yes,but GB tells it better.

What does a failed O ring look like?

Does it all like firy, explosions, call out the national guard.

Or is it something so small its undetectable, you may never know the o ring
has failed, and the power of the bike just pushes it along.

 

Thanks Pope JP II, real glad I 'offered' that suggestion, these responses
could have just saved me a LOT of pain... yep, I was thinking its 'safe'
since having the cloth at the back past the teeth, but like you say..
..doesnt matter if you think you're safe since it still happens!

Also says something that people here are good advice givers, in hindsight
I'm suprised people didnt post a heap of abuse, it was all shot nicely!
jolly good show

Kind Regards

Bastard! I was about to post that!

It was a fairly big o-ring on the Challenger.

GB

 

They 'crashed' in alphabetical order, yeah. Challenger had an o-ring,
fail the result of trying to operate at ambient temperatures well below
acceptable. The o-rings were quite solid - not nearly flexible enough
at that temperature, and when the tanks twisted under the load of
lift-off, the o-rings simply lifted and allowed hot gases to blow past.

Columbia: a briefcase-sized chunk of insulating foam from a forward
bipod ramp (one of the mount points for the large oxygen tank) went
awol and impacted the leading edge of the left wing somwhere around
panel #7 and #8. The undetected damage left a breach in the wing that
allowed hot gases to enter the wing interior during re-entry and
effectivly melt everything structural on the inside. The Columbia
broke up during the latter stages of entry.


Those are material causes only. The real causes in both cases were
institutional.

We use the Challenger disaster as a case study to teach principles
of organisational structure to MBA students. (I've seen that video
a hundred times "I believe this nation must commit itself to the
goal, before this decade is out,..."... "no teacher has ever been
more prepared, for one lesson, in my life"


The o-ring failure was largely immaterial. A quick look at the way
the organisation operates will tell you that if the o-ring didn't
fail, something equally catastrophic would have gotten them sooner
or later anyway.

What they had was an organisational structure that leant itself
to blaming other departments, applying pressure from above, generally
shuffling blame around and making everything someone else's problem.
They operated in an environment where pressure (from the top) to
perform was so high that no-one wanted to be the person who called
"no flight". The Shuttle program was costing far more money, flying
far less often and having far more problems than anyone told Congress
when they approved it, and so there was a lot of pressure from on
high to perform.


In the case of the Challenger incident, the engineers from Thiocol
Engineering (the company that made the booster rockets) made it
very clear on the morning of the STS-51L launch that flying that
day would be a stupid and unacceptable risk.

They launched anyway. Need Another Seven Astronauts.



Seventeen years later, they lost Columbia in a disturbinly similar
way. The material cause was different, and the technical parts of
the report make quite interesting reading.


The frightening part is that, those fuckers in NASA management
didn't learn a bloody thing from Challenger. Chances are they
won't learn anything from Columbia either. I wonder if they'll
learn from Discovery.


(As an aside, the Australian guy, Andy Thomas, is scheduled to
fly on Discovery in the next few months, flight STS-114, the
first flight back after Columbia)

And a few biologicals as well.

So to summaries this

if you loose an o ring, you will explode into a firy ball and die?

they always told me that motorcycles were dangerious

but what has this got to do with a kero sprayer?

 

Yes, but only in alphabetical order.

If your kero sprayer is a cheap one with non-kero-tolerant
o-rings, then you will explode into a fiery ball and die.

GB

 

You know when an o-ring has failed by the seized link
Bummers

 

You use the kero sprayer to douse the fire.

Seriously, there are sprayers available for kero, but they're not the ones
in the $2 shop. If you have an empty Armour-All sprayer that will work fine.
I use the sprayer attached to my compressor if I want to clean things. 50%
kero, 50% degreaser works well for me.

Get out of here with your noncence

You dont expect us to believe that load of horse manure
