Thu, 01 Nov 2012 22:02:25 -0700 British Engineering http://netninja.posterous.com/british-engineering http://netninja.posterous.com/british-engineering
****** FROM  ROLLS-ROYCE STAFF MAGAZINE ******
 


 

Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! (true story)..


Scientists at Rolls Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens

at the windshields of airliners and military jets all travelling at maximum velocity.


The idea is to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl

to test the strength of the windshields.

American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it

on the Windshields of their new high speed trains.


Arrangements were made, and a gun was sent to the American engineers.

 
When the gun was fired, the engineers stood shocked as the chicken shot out of the barrel, crashed into the shatterproof shield, smashed it to smithereens,
blasted through the control console, snapped the engineer's back-rest in two
and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin like an arrow shot from a bow..

The horrified Americans sent Rolls Royce the disastrous results of the experiment, along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions.


You're going to love this......

Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo:

 
 
"Defrost the chicken first."

Tue, 30 Oct 2012 16:36:42 -0700 Spanish Computer http://netninja.posterous.com/spanish-computer http://netninja.posterous.com/spanish-computer
  
A Spanish Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine. 
  
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa.' 

'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.' 

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?'

Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation. 

  
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because: 

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic; 

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else; 

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and 

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.   

  

  
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:   

  
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on; 

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves; 

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, 
but half the time they ARE the problem; and 

  
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model. 

The women won.

An elderly man is stopped by the police around 2 a.m. 
and is asked where he is going at this time of night. 
The man replies, "I am on my way to a lecture about 
alcohol abuse and the effects it has on the human body, 
as well as smoking and staying out late." 
The officer then asks, "Really? 
Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?" 
The man replies, "That would be my wife."

Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:43:56 -0700 Chinese Airliner Servicing http://netninja.posterous.com/chinese-airliner-servicing http://netninja.posterous.com/chinese-airliner-servicing

 Chinese Jet Engine maintenance 101
 


 For anybody who is not familiar with a jet engine, a jet fan blade should be perfectly smooth.

A pilot for an unnamed Chinese carrier requested permission and landed recently at FRA ( Frankfurt,

Germany ) for an unscheduled refuelling stop.

The reason soon became apparent to the ground crew: The Number 3 engine had been shut

down previously because of excessive vibration and because it didn't look too good (a slight understatement).

It had apparently been no problem for the tough guys on the ground back in China; as they took

some sturdy straps and wrapped them around two of the fan blades and the structures behind,

thus stopping any unwanted wind-milling (engine spinning by itself due to airflow passing thru the

blades during flight) and associated uncomfortable vibration caused by the sub optimal fan.

 

24547b1

Note that the straps are seat-belts ....how resourceful!

After making the "repairs", off they went into the wild blue yonder with another revenue-making

flight on only three engines!

With the increased fuel consumption, they got a bit low on fuel, and just set it down at the closest

airport (FRA) for a quick refill. That's when their problems started.

The Germans, who are kind of picky about this aero-safety stuff, inspected the malfunctioning

engine and immediately grounded the aircraft.

(Besides the seat-belts, notice the appalling condition of the fan blades.)

The airline operator had to send a sizeable chunk of money to get the first engine

replaced (took about 10 days).

The repair contractor decided to also do some impromptu inspection work on the other engines,

none of which looked all that great either.

The result: a total of 3 engines were eventually changed on this plane before it was permitted to fly again.

And some people worry about Chinese-made toys with lead paint?!
