Wind Map

This map shows you the delicate tracery of wind flowing over the US. The wind map is a personal art project, not associated with any company. We've done our best to make this as accurate as possible, but can't make any guarantees about the correctness of the data or our software. Please do not use the map or its data to fly a plane, sail a boat, or fight wildfires :-) If the map is missing or seems slow, we recommend the latest Chrome browser. Surface wind data comes from the National Digital Forecast Database. If you're looking for a weather map, or just want more detail on the weather today, see these more traditional maps of temperature and wind. Project Sentry Gun. חשבון אחד.

It’s one of those projects I promise myself I will be devoted to when my life is a little less busy (does that time ever come?). Meanwhile, with a new 3D Printer on its way to CNCCookbook (just got the tracking notice yesterday, very excited!) , I started wondering about making a clock with the 3D Printer. Who knows, maybe this would be a good way to prototype some of the gear trains for my Astro Clock?

3D printing is great stuff, but the reaction of many is that it is either a toy or at best only suited to prototype work. Are you ready for this? The Foodini 3D Food Printer: Very sleek design for your high tech kitchen… Here’s the extruder capsule that it uses. … Read the rest The exciting thing about CNC is you can make almost anything you can imagine. Inventables: Find new materials. Design & make. I recently bought a small vacuum pump for a project (I will get into that at a later date) and found it to be surprisingly noisy.

At first I thought the noise was emanating from the housing itself, but when I blocked the outlet port with a finger the noise was cut down dramatically. A colleague suggested a muffler (thanks Keith!) And another gave me some tips on how they work (thanks Andy!) CNC - Haas Automation, Inc. - Solutions-Applications - Tooling. Print When selecting cutting tools for a job, the first thing to consider is what type of operation needs to be performed.

Here is a quick description of the basic cutting tools most often used in milling operations. A drill is used to create a round, cylindrical hole in a workpiece. Drilled holes can be "through holes" or "blind holes". A "blind hole" is not cut entirely through a workpiece. TIP: The length of the drill point is determined by the tool point angle and the drill diameter. For a drill point angle of:118 degrees135 degrees141 degreesMultiply the drill diameter by:0.30.2070.177. Metalworking.
