-20 deg C from October to May.

Wind-turbine lubricants freeze at -1 deg C.

A quick search for "lithium grease" "low temperature" yielded this among many others, and a quick search for "lithium grease" and "wind turbine" yielded this among many others. You're full of it.

Equipment like this one http://www.directindustry.com/... tend to be quite expensive. Have the times figgered out what they will do with the wirecutter becomes dull?

Like a Logitech g13?

That's exactly what it is...

It's totally not an analog keyboard. It's a keyboard with an analog joystick for the thumb.

I meant analog WASD input so you for instance didn't had to hit the walk key (or crouch) and change the outcome like that but rather could just push down the key a little to walk slowly.

I'm not sure the thumb joystick is as precise, maybe it is.

I assume there's some joysticks with buttons on the shaft too.

Games would of course also need to either have native support or mappaple support for it.

So basically when I said "I wish this "agitating water molecules" horseshit would stop", you agreed with me when you said "Both molecules will be subject to heating by microwaves"? It's difficult to follow your poorly thought-out arguments.

We agree that microwaves can have effects on more than just water molecules, we just disagree about the basic mechanism...

Anyways...

Please explain why industrial microwaves use 915MHz, and why industrial sealing machines work at 27MHz? How can they heat up anything?

http://www.industrialmicrowave... [industrialmicrowave.com]

"Standard modularized system designs are available using either 915 or 2450 MHz."

I eagerly await your thoroughly-researched explanation.

OOoh, and how, pray tell, does diathermy work?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... [wikipedia.org]

"short-wave radio frequencies in the range 1–100 MHz (shortwave diathermy)"

You'll have to contact all three manufacturers and explain your learned theory to them. When they're done laughing at your glib ass, grab a physics textbook.

PS: Pretty lucky for the universe that alcohol and water have *exactly* the same heating efficiency at 2.45GHz, but don't change that frequency!! LOL

That is fanboy cherry picking. Go google tablet PC and check out all the old XP running tablet PCs that looked basically just like an iPad years ago.

I did. Here are the first five; tell me which of them looks remotely like an iPad to you?

This exists already:

Don't know anything about this product, just googled for "floppy flash", but it seems someone thought already about this.

You are way behind the curve, my friend. Here is your replacement. Already in use. Here's a demo video.

Sand/toxins can get into a keyboard or mouse and be very very difficult to clean out

So the US military's approach to creating a sealed input device is to make a huge expensive fragile heavy touch screen table?
Because, you know, that makes sense because creating a sealed keyboard is so difficult

That is called a coupling. There are hard couplings, which are just holes drilled on center for the shaft size you are connecting (can be different diameters) and simple set screws to bind them to a shaft (usually a flat ground on the shaft).

Here is a simple hose style:

For vibration, or off axis loads there are flex couplings that can take up to say a 20 degree flex constantly.
Here is some bellow's style couplings:
http://www.directindustry.com/cat/mechanical-transmission-actuators/flexible-couplings-L-593.html

Then there are couplings that have 2 or 4 teeth on each piece shaped like a X and have a "X shaped" donuts that couple the two shafts. Again the collar on each side has set screws to bind them to the shaft. (can be seen in above link)

I don't recommend any of the links above for purchase, just wanted to show you.

Hi Bud- I am not sure what you clicked, but this link,
http://www.clevelandvibrator.com/
Is a site of a Cleveland Company.
If you don't believe me, here is a link to a website that mentions it: http://www.directindustry.com/soc/cleveland-vibrat or/pneumatic-ball-vibrator-14397-104376.html
I would not link to a malware site...
Yes,there is a product called a ball vibrator.
Here is the text from the homepage-

pneumatic vibrators for industry Industrial Vibrators: Vibratory Equipment:
* air piston (pneumatic) vibrators * single impactors * miniature air piston vibrators * lubrication-free coated air piston vibrators * ball vibrators * rotary electric vibrators * electromagnetic vibrators * vibratory feeders * tables (grid top, flat, jogger, shake-out, belt * screeners * laboratory test sieves * ultrasonic screeners * Hybrute screener * H K Technologies Not sure which vibrator to choose? Need help choosing equipment? Please fill out our quote request forms to find which type of vibrator would best suit your specific application and one of our sales staff will contact you. Please fill out our quote request forms to find which type of equipment would best suit your specific application and one of our engineers will contact you. We carry a most comprehensive line of industrial vibrators including bin vibrators, hopper vibrators, foundry vibrators, pneumatic vibrators, railcar vibrators, rollover & core machine vibrators, etc., in many sizes and varieties. Unlike competitive models, most Cleveland Vibrator's air piston models are shipped complete with mounting hardware, which are all grade five rated bolts. We supply an exhaust protector to not only assist in reducing the noise but also help prevent impurities from entering the vibrator exhaust. Our units are of a one-piece casting design, plus our pistons are a double-diameter design requiring no spring, meaning that they will start in any position. All of this at no extra cost! In need of a special coating or material for high heat or corrosive environment? Check out our special coatings or stainless steel and nickel-plated products. Call our sales department for more information for your particular application. Cleveland Vibrator manufactures a complete line of air and electric-powered feeders, screeners, conveyors, and tables for bulk material applications. Feeders and Screeners are available in various trough shapes, mild and stainless steel construction, and various coatings for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications. Vibratory tables and packers are designed to handle material loads from under 10 lbs. to over 16,000 lbs. Screeners can screen down to 5 micron.
