I'll Show You Mine/You Show me Yours 1/6
Comments (15)To: roy4me That is interesting "old" technology. That is a Pelton water wheel driving a sandstone grinding wheel. That setup is very dangerous. I wonder if the owner knows how dangerous it is. That is a sandstone wheel that is meant for slow speed only. Typically, those were spun by a foot treadle and speed was of no concern. However, that wheel has a very low speed rating. That pelton turbine has the capability of spinning the wheel above its bursting speed. When I was a boy, an acquaintance of mine was severely injured when he spun up a low speed sandstone wheel with a Model T engine. The wheel 'exploded' into 4 pieces striking him in the chest. He nearly died and did not live long afterward finally dying of complications from that injury. The speed of that setup is determined by the velocity of the water and pulley diameters. Maybe there isn't enough available energy to over-speed the wheel. However, the danger potential is there without a speed governor or meter....See MoreI'll show you mine/you show me yours - F 1/6/23

Comments (15)Just took this one today. Stuff ready to be put in recycling boxes. The sparkly wine was given to us at Christmas and because of the ’old booze’ thread I opened it last night so it wouldn’t be sitting around gathering dust. We had one small glass each, didn’t finish it and the rest went down the drain. Felt good!...See More

as you can see,she had been a naughty girl while we were out and it was actually our puppy's bed and not her own that she had ripped up!

I am so proud that my oldest Grandchild is one of these Airmen. (And thank you, USAF for continuing to call them Airmen, and not Air People or Air Persons. The women who serve are as tough as the men. As a woman, I'd be proud to be called an AIRMAN!
