While the chassis remains the same, the suspenders it wears went for a trip to the future and gained Kawasaki Electronically Controlled Suspension (KECS) technology. Now, based on the riderâs selection of four modes (Sport, Road, Rain, and Rider mode (Manual)), the KECS automatically adjusts to the road surface in real time. This means that, every 10 milliseconds, the KECS ECU is receiving information from suspension sensors, the IMU, and the ECU about the status of the motorcycle and making changes to the solenoid-activated suspension damping. All of this should increase rider confidence over a variety of road conditions.
The TSA 230 takes a 9-inch wheel and cuts to a depth of 2-3/4 inches. The belt drive is sealed for reduced maintenance and a spindle lock makes blade changes easy. With the appropriate blade it can also be used to cut rebar and metal stock.
Pocono Raceway announced Gander RV, the Official RV & Outdoor Company of NASCAR, as the entitlement sponsor for two of their NASCAR-sanctioned motorsport events taking place at “The Tricky Triangle” this summer.
In men’s singles, Russia’s Semen Pavlichenko overtook countryman Roman Repilov in the second and final heat for the victory. Repilov held on for second and Latvia’s Kristers Aparjods was third.
Firefighters not trained in sprinkler systems tend to have unrealistic expectations of their suppression capability and may not realize that sprinklers are no guarantee that a building will not be destroyed by fire. This leads to complacency: They don’t expect to fight a serious fire in a big box home improvement store or a modern high-rise apartment building because they are protected by sprinklers. Additionally, they fail to understand that very few sprinkler systems are designed to completely extinguish a fire and are unaware of the factors that must be in place for a sprinkler system to operate as designed. Part 2 of this article examines a type of high-flow sprinkler system that can completely suppress a fire under the right conditions. These systems discharge a massive volume of water from “early suppression/fast response” (ESFR) sprinkler heads.
The bubble picture continues to be as clear as mud. And you can see why after taking a look at Saturday’s key results.
The period that particularly excites Hudson’s passion is the Bronze Age (about 2,500BC) in ancient Sumer, Mesopotamia and Babylon. This era is not well known to most people since about the only things that have survived are ruins and tablets with cuneiform script. Yet echoes still exist: the Statue of Liberty, for example, reflects the Babylonian practice of emperors holding up a torch when they made a proclamation. The inscription around the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia — “Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” — also harks back to Babylon. Hudson explains why the phrase has particular significance: “liberty”, he says, does not simply refer to the abstract idea of freedom but to another idea — debt forgiveness.

And I would point out the following things about transmission vs engine: 1. active for longer periods (100ms range) vs. 30ms for 1000rpm engine 2. number of activations is in the range maybe 1/s (worst case city very aggressive driving) vs 16/s engine idle 3. work with much lower and slower pressures (in an engine, you will have 9-10bars at end of compression, before detonating the fuel) 4. transmission solenoid failure will result in disconnection, whereas engine failiure can lead to sudden stall, which the transmission has to disconnect, otherwise wheels will lock-up. Engine damage is implied. From 1. and 3., there are 2 electrical conclusions: they need a lot (10x-100x) of electrical power to do the job. Which leads to thicker wires, massive transistors (with massive heatsinks) and massive EMI. In short…..way too expensive. The concept is nice, but you should already know that things don’t scale in linear fashion and sometimes researching another domain is less expensive than developing this (looking at you, electric cars!). Why use tons of electricity for valves when you can sent it to the wheels?
A better idea would be to build a vacuum canon instead. Yes they do take longer to prepare for fire, but they are easy to build, and won’t turn into a grenade if you screw up. A 1-4 inch PVC pipe, a good vacuum pump, some aluminium foil for the ends, an appropriate quick release hose attachment, and a properly sized projectile.

What about making the valve move AWAY from the combustion chamber when opening, rather than pushing it INTO the chamber? Why does it have to be less efficient that way?
