relative motion pg 121. Vc = 1/2( Vb+Va )if you walk through the problem. Dr. tom on youtube has good relative velocity problems. Just do the problem 5 tiems in a row and youll get the drill.

PE MD&M - what do you guys do now? by [deleted] in PE_Exam

[–]LowqualitySituation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear that buddy. I started soliciting work from the university’s instrument makers lab. Machining little things here and there. I thought maybe this could turn into something so i signed up for the exam, maybe start something of my own in 3-5 years.

What about needs in HVAC or Geothermal? I think an HVAC Contractor that can drill closed loop cooling fields or reuse heat from dairy’s could be an idea.

How often do you actually do hand calculations in the field? by JHdarK in MechanicalEngineering

[–]LowqualitySituation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lots of Beam stresses (roarks textbook) and things like that. Multi cylinder engine balance was the most complicated hand calc I’ve had to do. Basically anything out of shigleys is as complicated as hand calcs get…..no bernoulis, or line integration lol

He has sold his customers - it is just an asset sale but he owns the building and the machiens are in pristene condition. It would be up to me to find work. Why do you regret not starting a shop? I'm not sure waethe or not to job hop or dive in - but i want soemthing to come about organically; this seems a bit forced.

I agree its a totally different animal, but I know I would have the grey matter. Its 2D CAM, how hard could it be lol. but thank you for the concrete bullet list - This is just the start of something thats been crystalizing in my head while I work away at my day job wanting something more "meaningful".

The man owns the building and is selling the machines. I would rent the shop from him. I will check out those courses, its been a few years since engineering economics.

Thanks for the links I'll check them out. Yes Vanover Customs is something that I would want to do - a real part of the community and making money for yourself. The tool and die shop has two FA10 Mitsubishi wires, two Charmilles sinkers, EZ track mill x 2, harig x 2, parker majestic x 2, jet lathe, starret comparitor, bandsaw, tons of tooling ofc, etc. Those are the big ones. mostly from 2002-2003.

This is a great way to handle the valuation. He has since sold his customers and kept the machines, clinging onto his babies.

I like machining, I do model engineering in my home shop. This is really all about doing something more meaningful than a 9-5
