Accentuate Your Home With Mirrors
Looking at your reflection in the mirror, it is hard to imaging that mirrors in some form have been used for 5,000 years, be it they started from a reflection in a pool of water.

Mirrors have been made of glass for many centuries excepting the Aranmula Kannadi. These mirrors are unique and mysterious, their beauty is unequalled. The metal mirror, a marvel in the annals of metallurgy was in vogue long before the appearance of today s glass mirror. Used in ancient Egypt and Bagdad the mirrors are still made at Aranmula in India, a creation which is secretly guarded and possess a Geographical Indication tag.

Metal Injection Molding
What is Metal Injection Molding? Metal injection molding is a powder metallurgy process used for manufacturing metal parts. Although metal injection molding uses powder metal, it is nothing like conventional powder metal processing. The metal powders used in metal injection molding are 10 ndash 100 times smaller than in powder metal processes. Also, the end product of metal injection molding is much higher in density. Metal injection molding offers the same benefits and features as plastic and rubber molding, but produces a much stronger end product. Applications for metal injection molding parts include surgical tools, automotive locks and actuators, firearm components, computer hard disk drives and electrical connectors. Process of Metal Injection Molding Metal injection molding is a fast growing manufacturing method that bridges the gap between the technology up gradation and costs involved.

A History of the Bicycle
Today we all enjoy riding bikes and pedaling through the streets on our way to work or simply going for a ride through the park. The bicycle, however, is a versatile invention that has gone through a variety of forms before reaching its present state. The first thing that was created that looked even remotely like a bicycle was developed by the Baron von Drais as an aid to walking in the royal gardens faster. Two wheels of the same size were mounted in a frame which you straddled. This device did not have pedals and instead was propelled by pushing one s feet against the ground creating a kind of gliding walk. Eventually, the machine came known as the Draisienne or hobby horse. This invention enjoyed a short period of popularity as it was not practical for transportation in any place other than a well maintained pathway such as one in a park or garden.

Sword of Damascus Got to do with Modern Day
When the brave and experienced fighting Christian knights trekked the long route to the holy lands to fight the Muslims they were in for a terrible surprise. They were beaten and beaten hard and repeatedly and eventually sent packing back to England and Europe defeated. What they were not prepared for was the secret weapon of the enemy they came to easily slaughter in the name of God. The Muslim fighters had a superior weapon and that was Damascus steel. Their swords and daggers were made from this vastly superior steel. It is said, and probably a fanciful bit of exaggeration, that a Damascus sword could slice through a silk scarf falling through the air. True or not, the Damascus sword was amazingly sharp but also much stronger than normal steel.

Insights Into the Minneapolis Bridge Collapse
The incredible collapse of the Minneapolis bridge will send a message to the nation that has been repeatedly sent for decades, but that our political system has refused to effectively respond to. America s physical, engineered infrastructure has been in desperate need for massive spending to repair and replace, but the multi ndash trillion ndash dollar cost has been rejected by local, state and federal politicians. We have had bipartisan government neglect. The bridge fell down because our politicians have let us down. First, understand that I have a professional background in this area. My career started as a metallurgist, than I obtained a Ph.D. in Materials Engineering and became a full professor of metallurgical engineering at the University of Wisconsin, Madison where I taught about mechanical metallurgy and failure analysis, and in my consulting practice regularly worked on explaining actual failures of products and systems.

Build Your Own HHO Generator!
As gas prices continue to rise worldwide, people everywhere are suffering from the effects.

HHO (water fuel), also known as Brown s Gas or Rhode s gas, has been shown to increase fuel economy by up to 40 when used in conjunction with gasoline in standard internal combustion engines.

Dry Film Lubricants - More Than Just Low Friction Coatings
Dry film lubricants are much more than low friction coatings. That s right. They can be used for metal wear protection, too. Especially when surface contact is severe and localized. Ironically, this is the time when lubrication, not hardness alone, is key. Does your surface condition fall within these types of wear or contributing factors? Wear Adhesion ndash ndash visible by fretting, pits, holes or scales transfer, the result of softer materials dislodging from a widened hardness gap between two moving surfaces. Besides a drop in performance, look for visible changes in surface finish, dimensional or geometric distortion. Wear Abrasion ndash ndash witnessed by scratches, grooves, or corrugations, caused by loose abrasive particles torn away from the wear surface. Also look for negative changes in performance, surface finish, dimensional or geometric distortion.
