project ideas

admin

im looking for various engineering projects for seasoned vetran welders im open to anything but keep in mind that i would like any ideas to be unique
Reply:Complex machines, furniture, picture frames? Need a little more info as to what you want to do with them.
Reply:Lol. You want people to give you unique ideas? Just grab some project on here and put your own twist or style into it. Not that hard really
Reply:Try doing wgat IRONHART does
Reply:Perhaps a penrose triangle?!?!
Reply:engineering projects are usually done to suit a need, not just for something to do, unless you need a bridge to nowhereWelding/Fab Pics: www.UtahWeld.com

Reply:Yup, More information required. Materials available, tools available, time available? Without all that you're just going to get directions on how to make a Rube Goldberg Machine.Need purpose, perimeters, and direction before you can get ideas started.There are no problems. There are only solutions. It's your duty to determine the right one.Hobart Handler 210Airco 225 Amp MSM Stinger

Reply:I have to admit, I'd be interested to see the design on the hydro-pneumatic.  Are we talking about damming up a river and using turbines to compress air?Hobart cutting/welding torch.MM252, and nothing else.  My first welder.  Buy once, cry once....but I really would like a nice 50/60A circuit to run it at full strength.A bunch of ideas, and not enough time and money to bring them to life.
Reply:CNC Plasma build? Machine everything yourself if you're feeling really bored.
Reply:Originally Posted by MinnesotaDave...and then we can build the Rube Goldberg Machine? I think a forum this size could think of a really crazy one for him to build.Plus, all of us are really good at spending other people's money for them anyway
Reply:I vote aye

Reply:cweldorI'd build a rudimentary pyramid of .375" tube orround stock, and sleep under it.This practice should provide both Architectural,and Engineering inspiration per:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImhotepThere have been a number of improvements:between then, and now.Pick any-one and strive to update.  I'd start with a mouse-trap.Opusp.s.  I'm looking for the same thing - a patentable idea.
Reply:Eye, si. Should the flexion-fluxion fusion capacitance percipitator (water bucket) have enough of a reasonsble amplitude (water volume) to make the gerbrbil gimble gable gyration gadget (wheel) create kinetic thrust, we then have an initiating force. Spill the beans or downforce dilema?  Last edited by bearston; 10-27-2014 at 10:29 PM.When a welder tells you to "stick it", what do they really mean?"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell
Reply:you guys do have a point i run a fab shop full of machines my idea for a power hammer is to make it the same princable as a steam hammer  but my idea is that i would make a steam engine to actually run the machine but the steam engine would turn a compressor wich would run the power hammer any thoughts
