In fact, if it was close to right with the worn parts, I'll bet it wrong now. And that will NOT reveal itself by making the car lead to one side. It can make the steering over-sensitive or sluggish on center. And it will cause rapid tire wear. I figured out a way to do my own toe-in adjustment (on my 123s).

Re: [MBZ] My shaky front end is FIXED on my 95 E300D
If you replace a tie rod end and don't get the length right, the car won't necessarily pull, but the toe-in will be incorrect and the steering wheel will be off center. If you get the center link wrong, the steering wheel will be off center. If your steering wheel is centered, you're probably OK, unless both parts are out of adjustment and moving the wheel in opposite directions. BTW, were you the fellow with the 94-95 300D that was out of service for an extended time while waiting for a vacuum pump or oil pump or something after the vacuum pump self destructed?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compressed air storage
I also was thinking of the heat of compression, and that storing it in caves would cool it considerably, but then read NRStor is joining up with Massachusetts-based General Compression Inc., which developed a compressed-air technology that uses heat exchangers in a so-called near-isothermal process instead of fuel. There have to be losses in the heat exchange process, and to what are the pumping the heat? I guess if they heat water high enough with the heat, they could use it to drive turbines as well. My geothermal heat pump heats the water heater with excess heat in the summer, I guess they could do the same. I do think that using gravity to store the excess energy via pumping it up hill, and letting it run down through a turbine would be better though.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compressed air storage
In the interest of trying not to inflame anyone s passions I will withhold any caustic comments and just ask a compound question. In another segment of life, I was task with extraction of useful information from prisoners. It is a given that they lie, so the pattern of interrogation always followed that the questions would follow the lies which always became compound in depth and scope, ie layers of lies... sooner or later, the interrogated individual would reach a realization that they were trapped, with no way out, and that I had revealed their first set of lies through investigation of the second and third set of lies [these sessions had no time limit]. Always at that point, there was a physical tell [skilled people in the business knew what to look for] that would then be followed by clamming up. Then followed by attempts to coverup the previous sets of lies... ie the devil made me do it. This silent period was always the key point in interrogation, because suddenly, the trap of their own making had slammed on them and there was a degree of panic, knowing the jig was up.. Any new story would cause incrimination, and revelation of events and guilt. Is Hillary in that place about now? Does anything she may say serve to illuminate the untruths that make up her past actions?.. Did destruction of the file server and emails break the law? Did she sell influence to foreign persons while holding Sec of State office? How involved was she in the sale of Uranium mining [a DOD controlled substance] to foreign nationals while holding public office? Did the Clinton Foundation launder foreign funds?

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compressed air storage
The Republican debates, including the Plan B debacle for junior varsity (not-ready-for-prime-time) candidates, would be a great way to test that concept. The hot air emanating from these bloviators would generate awesome pressure and take forever to cool.

Canadian-based company NRStor Inc. set its sights on solving the complicated and critical problem of energy storage with technology that would compress air and store it in salt caverns to backup the grid when the wind isn't blowing. Interesting idea. I think if there is a hill that pumping water to the top will probably have less losses. One issue with compressed gas is the act of compressing it makes it hot, and for long term storage that heat will be lost. The greater the pressure, the greater the heat and the greater the loss. If they have figured out a way to effectively use low-pressure air to generate electricity, it might work out really good. But if it's just a turbine, high pressure makes the turbine more effective, so there will be a compromise either way. Short term storage - as in day vs night - the heat could be retained and then the system looks pretty good. Except for the explosion dangers. -- Philip, speaking before reading up on the details ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
