How do u know if you have a transmission leak or a power steering leak?

Posted on May 5, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

When I went to drive my jeep today, I had a pretty big puddle of red/pink fuid in the snow underneath. It has been pretty cold here about -25 and about -32 with the wind, so it could be the power steering line, but dodge suposedly fixed it a couple about 5 weeks ago, because it was making a weird noise when I turned left. Now it makes a weird noise when it even starts…
It is a 2001 Grand Cherokee. It is towards the front, I added power steering fluid so I could drive home from work, and I am pretty sure it is all gone again (it is now like -30 without the wind and I am definitely not going out to check it) Whatever fluid it is just pours right out. It will be going back to the mechanic tomorrow, I was just wondering what kind of money I am looking at, even though I already paid over $150 to fix the leaks a little over a month ago..
I don’t recall a hesitation shifting the gears, I do however think that when I went to leave work last night, I am pretty sure there was a slight hesitation when I went to turn, I just thought it was a build up of ice and snow by the tires…
I was just thinking….Maybe with the cold the Power Steering resevoir cracked.. God knows it is definitely cold enough to crack a brick building….

Is it safe to put a solid cabin on a tiny fishing power-boat?

Posted on January 29, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I’m commuting across a harbour with a 3-meter aluminum boat every day, and I am considering to build a cozy, fully enclosed structure onto it to protect me from the elements and the engine noise. Trouble is, I’ve constructed this in CAD, and it looks pretty top-heavy. But I don’t think it is, as it’s going to be all aluminum and PVC windows. I’m only worried about stability when the wind comes from the side – is this too small a boat to put a cabin onto?
Thanks.

Wind Turbines Causing Health Problems

Posted on August 8, 2010 by admin| 7 Comments

Wind Farms Are Making People Sick “Wind Turbine Syndrome” Wind energy is a multi-billion dollar a year industry. Its billed as clean, green, renewable. In this engagingly written, peer-reviewed report by a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine trained MD and Princeton (Population Biology) Ph.D., we discover wind energys dirty little secret. Many people living within 2 km (1.25 miles) of these spinning giants get sick. So sick that they often abandon (as in, lock the door and leave) their homes. Nobody wants to buy their acoustically toxic homes. The lucky ones get quietly bought out by the wind developers—who steadfastly refuse to acknowledge that Wind Turbine Syndrome exists. (And yet the wind developers thoughtfully include a confidentiality clause in the sales agreement, forbidding their victim from discussing the matter further.)

Wind Turbine Shadow Flicker and Noise, Byron Wisconsin

Posted on May 18, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

When industrial wind turbines which are 40 stories tall are sited too close to people’s home there is trouble with noise and shadow flicker. Wind developers deny these problems exist and in the state of Wisconsin want to put them 1000 feet from houses. That’s 350 steps. This video shows what happens when wind turbines are irresponsibly sited. The nation is slowly waking up to the downside of wind energy. Developers lie to residents about the impacts these machines will have on the landowners and neighbor’s lives. They take advantage of those of us who want to do the right thing for our environment by telling us there will be no problem with noise, no problem with shadows, and no problem with putting turbines in bird migration flyways. The truth will out, eventually. For the residents in the town of Byron, Fond du Lac county, the truth is what they live with every single day. There is a place for wind energy. It’s just not beside a person’s home.
