Thankfully, it's only been a close call a couple of times the 8 months I've been working there. they cause glancing crashes.... usually, so there's fewer injuries. They also cause a lot of stupid people to destroy their cars in drunk driving incidents https://youtube.com/c/MilwaukeeRoundabout

The grape contains hints of spice in the top of the bouquet, with earthy tones of vanillin and high notes of caramel, whereas the SB has more of an overall "Tin Man's festering scrote" metallic back-of-the-throat thing happening. Important to know in advance what sort of sophistication you're wading into when you're getting your Fuel Fragrance huff on. (Seriously, what the gently caress.) Edit: Did a little digging and found a snowmobile forum thread discussing it...a few people wtf-ing and a few more saying "yeah, this stuff's great because it smells nice and your throat and nose don't burn so much while you're working on an engine!"

All I done smelt was some grape stuff, not no gasoline vapor. Now I look like a wax model of Freddy Krueger that's started to melt." Not to mention that one of the best diagnostic tools for any internal combustion engine is your nose. Seems fair to me that if you don't like the smell of fuel, you probably chose the wrong hobby.

How many cars need to be unloaded before this thing pays for itself vs the cars with a trapdoor on the bottom?

Those bottom dump cars are maintenance nightmares, and spill coal constantly. Most of the car rotator is just the big hoops to hold on to everything, the actually mechanics of it are pretty simple.

MisterOblivious posted:https://gfycat.com/lividslipperybream SuddenCactus posted:You would think that robot arms would have "if cannot complete action, return to first position and try again" programming Best practices for a robot would be to stop when it detects a collision, and wait for manual intervention. But that is mostly for robots that are contained within cells and cannot move at all if the cell is open without a person driving it at a slower speed. This video doesn't look like there is a safety cage around the robot area, and there are certain types of robots and applications where people can work alongside them. These types of robots would move much slower and be much more sensitive to resistance. They may even be and to pushed away by the human workers. Since multiple people got caught by moving robots on this video, I'd say that their process is seriously lacking laser scanners which could detect people approaching the work area and halt robots.

I toured a coal power plant once that had one of these, and yeah the connectors pivot on the cars - the cars are designed to expect this. Also the yard switcher had a wireless remote so one person can stand by the rotating machine and work the whole train. It was pretty well thought out.

OSHA's role would be to make rules like "no one is allowed in the pit while the cars are dumping" or "you must get adequate sleep to use the car dumper"

Explosions are a big one, even things like flour and sugar can cause fuel air explosions if its ground up enough and then dispersed. Also they would want to keep dust under control so it doesnt start getting into the mechanisms and sensors.

This'll probably get me on a watchlist, but I just googled "wasabi powder" "fuel air explosion" and there are no results. Someone's got to have tried that or at least proposed it before, right?

Will wasabi powder burn? I think the principle is that anything that's both combustible and finely grained enough to become airborne can cause an explosion, it's a physical process not a chemical one vvvvvv I mean, it doesn't depend on what the powder actually is, just whether it ticks the boxes haveblue fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Jul 11, 2022 |

In addition to explosion hazard, there is a big fire risk attached to having a layer of settled flammable dust coating everything. Sawmills tend to have problems with this. Even if there is no boom, a small fire can get out of hand far faster if you don't have some kind of dust control.

The finer the powder, the worse it is.
