Engineering

/engineering3149

Electrical, Aerospace, Mechanical, Systems, Chemical, Semiconductor etc etc. A channel for making things work

did aerodome actually get acquired like a year after incorporation?

because you can print omni-directionally, i'd think of robotic arms for printing on some support. articulated arms in all directions so you can print on top of complex surfaces. I'd love to get rid of also the layer-by-layer printing and supports all together

would be rad because whatever the material is, fibers or materials etc would be directly deposited onto the surface, and you don't need a ton of adhesion or support in microgravity
My wife told me that some of her girlfriends are excited about Waymo because the creep factor goes to zero when there is no one else in the car - another unintended consequence that I'm bullish on self-driving cars / autonomy
Here's a very different and IMHO better model to understanding electrical circuits. Wish we were taught this in school, haha... but now explain KVAs and Power Factor to a normie 😅

Cool 🧵 of the engineering of Stellarators. Disclaimer, I know nothing about Stellarators 😬

Me starting an essay: 5 minutes in and my brain's already on vacation!
Hello 👋, I’m Callum. I have a degree in mechanical engineering, with a specialization in material sciences. Rather than pursuing a career in engineering, I went to law school and became an IP lawyer/patent agent to pursue innovation from a different angle.

After burning out, I quit last year to be a full time creator (photography, videography, animation) & educator (writer & web3 consultant)

Since I quit, I’ve been getting more interested in computer/data sciences and quantum physics, so I’m looking forward to learning more from you all here ✨
Hello, fellow engineers, I’m Adrienne.
Though I present as non-technical in farcaster land, I have a degree in Environmental Systems Engineering. When I discovered my junior year in college that environmental engineering was more about cleaning up industrial mess and not about protecting the environment I pivoted to tech and spent most of my career in software development. I still very much identify as an engineer and the practical art of creating value out of science.
Hello, fellow engineers, I'm Raul. Though I present as non-technical in crypto land, IRL, I have a degree in electrical engineering and nearly a decade (🤮) of experience in the Industrial Automation and Process Controls industry. I work mostly as a project manager and consultant these days, which gives me time to dabble in Web3 and make fun games with internet strangers.

Kickstarting channel introductions. I'm qt (or David) and I'm a chemical engineer, chemist, and operations person. Love Engineering and glad Warpcast has so many Engineers.

Earlier in my career, I built really big factories, then I moved into nascent process commercialization, and then into advanced innovation R&D (0 -> 1), and now I do Organizational Redesigns. I also still tinker, work with my hands, and have a goal to build large scale sculptures.

I look forward to seeing the /engineering channel grow.

And I think everyone should read "The Goal" by Eliyahu Goldratt
/engineering is open to all!

Cool analysis of the zen 5 CPU layout. Some interesting stuff in here

Fun fact: do you know why so many sailors wore eye-patches?

It's because they would burn their eyes using a sextant looking at the sun ww
Great summary of the history of nanotech

TIL birds don’t need GPS because they can see earths magnetic field

Apparently, the Coast Guard has recently started an investigation into the Titan submersible failure, and a looooot of juicy details are now public: https://www.news.uscg.mil/News-by-Region/Headquarters/Titan-Submersible/

Might make a Paragraph post about the structural engineering (or lack thereof)!
Another one that comes to mind is calculating MTBF (Mean time between failures) for components - and how they lead potentially catastrophic events like 10^-9 and beyond
