You obviously know the story of Archimedes, how he invented the method for determining the volume of an object and his joyful crying “Eureka!“. Can you please describe it in a way that even someone who has no knowledge of physics understand it clearly and find it very amusing. I mean, can you bring some fun to the story as well? Please take your time and write it in details. (more…)
Carbon fiber fabric and lightweight honeycomb materials, plus a mobile manufacturing platform, make infinite pipeline technology cheaper and greener while boosting local economies.
Mo Ehsani, professor emeritus of civil engineering at the University of Arizona, has designed a new, lightweight underground pipe he says could transform the pipeline construction industry.
Instead of conventional concrete or steel, Ehsani’s new pipe consists of a central layer of lightweight plastic honeycomb, similar to that used in the aerospace industry, sandwiched between layers of resin-saturated carbon fiber fabric. (more…)
