  1. Re:25,000CPH?? on Inside the Raspberry Pi Factory · · Score: 1

    yeah.. it's relatively simple.. why not spend a week running them as opposed to 2 days? IMHO what they show pictures of looks like a prototype low volume line... NOT a volume production line.

  2. 25,000CPH?? on Inside the Raspberry Pi Factory · · Score: 1

    they have some really slow SMT placement equipment.. The lines I program could knock that out in about half the time for SMT, and do most if not all connectors inline. I see why they produce more in china than there..

    Why not just haul the drum up?? a 55gal. drum of diesel weighs about 400# and i'm sure 3 or 4 guys and a dolly could get it (slowly) up the stairs in about the same time as it takes to fill cans and have 11 guys to haul up 5gal each.

  9. What's your thought process? on Ask Steve Wozniak Anything · · Score: 2

    When working on a problem or idea, where do you start? are you visual? or theory based thinker. personally i'm not great at transferring ideas or solutions to paper, but I can visualize everything in my head, parts, schematics, etc. right down to building something. I am greatly curious where you start on an idea.. paper work first? or did you just build it out and see?

  19. seeing is believing on Engineers Find Nuclear Meltdown At Fukushima Plant · · Score: 1

    Funny... I wonder how they *saw* the rods.. did they pop off the reactor cap and take a peek in and measure it? lol I am going to assume that when they went in and re-calibrated the water level gauges they found the level to be below where the fuel normally is so it's a good assumption the fuel has broken/melted/fallen down the the bottom of the pressure vessel since it's still being cooled by the lower than normal level. but for how long?
