John, I can envision a system lifting from the ends to move a single 40 foot container or a single 20 foot container. However, I often see two separate 20 foot containers on a single forty foot trailer. Will this system somehow adjust so that the center part of the two 20 foot containers can be

I have also seen Diesel engines on cars in some countries with this arrangement. If the engine has a mechanical fuel pump they will run all day without any electrical input. Some injection pumps have an electrical solenoid that controls fuel supply and therefore is the usual way to stop the

David, Most of what I have read in the past about bypass filters concerned their utilization with synthetic motor oils. This is to aid in the prolonged change intervals seen with these oils. Now, if I am reading you correctly, you are advising that the use of the bypass filters with regular dino

I've had some thoughts running about in my head for a bit, and thought that I would pass them on. Perhaps it isn't strictly on-topic, but it illustrates how small changes in a population's lifestyle can have major implications on a global scale. One thing that I have noticed is that in the USA

Dear Keith, Todd, et. al., Before I went to India for a look, I would have agreed with you. However, the roads are so bad that it took me five hours to travel a distance of 110 k (68 miles) on one of the official Indian highways in a Jeep going as fast as it could go, or as fast as the driver

Keith, Not to belittle your concern about water, its importance, and the likelihood of wars being fought over it, but I still tend to feel that energy in one form or another is of utmost importance. I currently live in an environment where life is highly dependent upon technology and energy.

I have been considering ways to commercially produce biodiesel in India. My own thoughts have been along the lines of cargo containers. I want to get everything operational in 8 x 8 x 20 foot containers. They could be hauled about, set-up on site, etc. They don't need foundations. If the plant is

Hi Marc, Yes, you're probably right. That was one of the reasons that I mentioned thinking to restrict myself to designing within only 20 foot containers. Then, I think a lot of the interior of the container is going to be empty space surrounding the machinery. I had hoped to move them with a

I think you are being a touch pessimistic on the fuel consumption. I have a 1987 F-350 with dual rear wheels and a 4.10:1 rear. At the time I bought the truck it wasn't available with an overdrive transmission. I paid considerably extra to get the 6.9 liter Navistar Diesel engine. My fuel mileage
