I'm trying to find some data to support a product development decision at work, and I don't have the right contacts - I need to figure out how much gas quality (LHV and MN) can swing at sites supplied by wellhead gas gathered from a few wells. Consider remote power generation for oil production...
this sounds like total BS to me, but they're trying to sell it to a friend of mine so I thought I'd ask for some additional input - see the "enercat" tool on this website

Portland Just Installed Water Pipes That Generate Electricity!
Lucid Energy, a Portland-based energy company, has come up with a brilliant idea to harness electricity from the water that flows through a...
Maybe this is already done somewhere, but it occurred to me while driving home the other day that the stoplights near my office could benefit from a little awareness of commuting traffic patterns (so we don't have a single direction backed up for a mile while the other directions get useless...
very little detail on what the breakthrough was...

I was asked today to provide some information about the "flywheel bearings" used on a particular industrial/marine engine. The customer wants to know the size/material/type for the engine bearings (main/thrust/rod/pin) and in th.e same list he includes "flywheel bearings." Later he asks...
Check it out ... There isn't much up there at the moment, but I believe they are adding more. This ought to be a great source of toy models in the future...

Hello,
I've recently come across a setup which makes me worry a bit. A contractor is blending crude with condensate to achieve a desired API gravity. They have been using a cylindrical trailer-mounted mud tank and a small diesel pump for this purpose. Short version is they hook up a truck of...
Hi all,
I was wondering whether anyone has direct experience with the development and/or implementation of oil quality sensors in gas, diesel, or gasoline engines, (any size) and wouldn't mind sharing some stories/feedback about how well they work, how the go wrong, what types worked...
I have a concept heat exchanger design for water-to-water or air-to-water which varies thermal resistamce to set outlet temperature of one of the fluids, using no moving parts and without changing flow on either side of the hx. It costs too much to be used in the application for which I...
wow, that's pretty cool

Somebody pointed out to me that there are relatively inexpensive 3D printers on the market these days... and so I went out and bought one. I bought a Printrbot Plus kit (see http://www.printrbot.com ) and put the thing together. It took a few evenings. Now I've had the thing up and running...
Hello all,
After reading about this: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v489/n7415/extref/nature11418-s1.pdf
I have a practical application in mind, and would like to see whether there are permanent superhydrophobic coatings that would be suitable for application to steel and/or iron...
I have a 2012 Ford Edge Limited with 3478 miles on it. The EPA fuel mileage sticker puts the fuel economy at (cty/hwy) 19/27 mpg. My experience has been very different from that, and I'm wondering whether this is something that is likely to resolve itself, or if the mileage estimate is simply...
