Re: Curious Engineering
The Sydney Harbour Bridge automatically drops small bits of steel on the head of any tourist who says their cross harbour bridge is better. Not enough to hurt. Only the size of a small fishing sinker. But enough to jolt them back to their senses... But seriously folks..In Sydney you can see one small section of the above ground cross city expressway that comes to a dead stop in mid air. It was a mistake but was kept as a small car park. You can see the same thing in San Francisco not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. Does an engineering mistake count?Re: Curious Engineering

Drive shafts for pumps, motors, generators, starters etcetera have a narrowed section such that it will shear at this point if undue loads are experienced elsewhere.Re: Curious Engineering

Besides the Avro Vulcan Bomber, l love Concorde. I love its sleekness, its beautiful elegance and its pointy nose!
