1 killed after Deerfield Beach crash | 1" Check Valve

I’m not sure a piston / valve crash with a camless would be as bad as a cammed engine. With a cammed setup, you have two metal objects smacking into each other, with nowhere else to go. On a camless, the piston would hit the valve and be pressing against the force of the actuator. I’m not saying that no damage would be done, but it might not be as bad as the bent stems and cracked crowns we’re used to seeing. All this said – a properly designed camless setup would fail safe – so no damage could be done.

Gonzaga (29-2) didn’t play last week after wrapping up its regular-season schedule March 2. The Zags return to the court against Pepperdine on Monday night to start play in the West Coast Conference tournament. Virginia (28-2) and North Carolina (26-5) finished tied atop the ACC regular-season standings with wins Saturday.

The only mild fueling miscue is below 2,000 rpm, where the engine has trouble maintaining a neutral throttle. While this is minimal in street mode, sport seems to exacerbate the issue, making me choose street until the city is behind me. However, this is really just a minuscule problem.

Simple, single-cylinder camless engines are relatively easy to build. Start with a four stroke overhead valve engine from a snowblower, scooter, or the like. Make sure the engine is a non-interference model. This means that it is physically impossible for the valves to crash into the pistons. Add a power source and some solenoids. From there it’s just a matter of creating a control system. Examples are all over the internet. [Sukhjit Singh Banga] built this engine as part of a college project. The control system is a mechanical wheel with electric contacts, similar to a distributor cap and rotor system. [bbaldwin1987’s] Camless Engine Capstone project at West Virginia University uses a microcontroller to operate the solenoids. Note that this project uses two solenoids – one to open and one to close the valve. The engine doesn’t need to rely on a spring for closure. [Brian Miller] also built a camless engine for college, in this case Brigham Young University Idaho Camless Engine. [Brian’s] engine uses hall effect sensors on the original camshaft to fire the solenoids. This route is an excellent stepping stone before making the jump to full electronic control.

From 1985 to 1994, Bavaro played six seasons with the New York Giants, one with the Cleveland Browns (for Bill Belichick, with whom he remains close) and two with the Philadelphia Eagles. He caught 351 passes for 4,733 yards and 39 touchdowns in 126 career games. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder from Danvers did so at a time when the Giants were one of the few teams that ran the ball more than they threw it — including both their Super Bowl seasons of 1986 and 1990.

“I jumped on the car, like trying to break the windshield. It wouldn’t break. I was trying to see if the door was unlocked but they were all locked so I jumped on the sunroof. I was stomping it but it wouldn’t break,” said CJ Holland.

In addition, this is the region’s first outbreak of Ebola and for those unfamiliar with the virus, at first it doesn’t seem too different from familiar diseases like malaria or typhoid fever.

The O’s were up 6-5 in the bottom of the fifth inning, but the Yankees were threatening. Greg Bird stood on second base with Gary Sanchez on first. Troy Tulowitzki was at the plate with two outs.

The Big 12 title was shared by Texas Tech and Kansas State.  The Red Raiders won their first conference title since the formation of the league.  They last won a conference championship in the Southwest Conference in 1996.  Kansas State last got a share of the title in 2013.

All but a few conference tournament schedules are set after Saturday’s action.  The AAC and the Big Ten still have work to do on Sunday.  Note that my bracket uses the top seed remaining in the conference tournament as the automatic qualifier.

Kentucky leads the way among the SEC’s three competitors for a No. 1 seed, even though LSU won the regular season title outright. Kentucky bests LSU in NET ranking, Q1 wins and strength of schedule, which has it just barely ahead of the conference’s regular season champs at the start of the SEC tournament. However, that is not set in stone. If LSU wins the SEC tournament, it will be impossible to argue that Kentucky deserves a higher seed than the Tigers. Kentucky has to go through Tennessee just to get to the SEC championship game, while LSU will have to play the winner of Florida and Arkansas, and then, if chalk holds, Auburn, to get to the final. If LSU or Kentucky wins the SEC tournament, that team will be a No. 1 seed. If Tennessee—or, for that matter, anyone else—does, the door will be open for Michigan State to get to the top line.
