The flammable component of the orange is not citric acid, but the oil in the rind, which mostly consists of limonene.

Any news on the Waiver issues?
You could save money by just buying Vivarin or No-Doz caffeine pills and swallowing them with water...
Agreed on the suckitude of the new can designs, but their intended function AFAIK isn't to prevent spills, but to prevent EVAPORATION. VOC emissions and all that.
So the EPA decided to trade...
Makes about as much sense as the Braille signage on DRIVE-UP ATMs....
After an unscheduled week off from work due to Sandy, we were asked by the HR dept. to work on Election Day and Veteran's day "if at all possible"...
If they wanted to put one in the NYC area, a much better place would have been the Cradle of Aviation museum on Long Island.
NY's only claim on the shuttle was the fact that large parts of it were...
Power just came back on here a few hours ago. Good thing, as the gas supply for the generator was getting low, and they start restricting gas sales here at noon due to shortages....
GREAT article! Thanks for posting this!
The IEEE article on Apollo 13 linked within is another great read, BTW.....
I work in Hoboken, but live up in Bergen County.
Carlo's is way downtown, near city hall. The other side of town from where I work, but Hoboken isn't all that big. They call it the "Mile Square...
Power went out here about 19:30 last night. Running on generator now. Landline phone and internet still up.
All in all, not too bad here, but I am about 10 miles inland from the Hudson river. I...
Prepped as well as we can here in northern NJ. Extra pumps in basement, generator fueled and ready, plenty of food water and batteries.
Lights starting to flicker a bit, but power still on as of 6...

Those "Speed Hump" signs might lead to trouble, too...:)
Correct. and "poly" refers to "many", so what we have here is a discussion of multiple bloodsucking parasitic creatures. Sounds about right to me.
Was considering the thermal issues, and planned on at least a couple static fire tests followed by careful inspection before actually flying the modified motor.
My initial thought was that a...
I'm always wary about the "indie" club insurance policies actually covering individual flyers, rather than the club itself. Especially given the tendency of insurance companies to find every...
Thanks for all the input. I figured that "no way" would be the answer, but wanted opinions from real people, rather than just a straight regurgitation of the NAR HPR safety code language.
Looks...
I'm pondering the idea of building a HIGHLY instrumented rocket (Strain gaged fins, pitot tubes, pressure ports, air temp. nose temp, etc) . something in the L2 power range. Among the measurements...
Already been done, just covering all the bases....
My friend's daughter lost a rocket on Saturday, and asked me to post this for her.
The rocket was a purple and gold Wildman Dark Star Jr., named "Panda-Monium". Had a CTI 3G 38mm case and a 30"...
Saw it pass over twice from the NJ side of the river this morning. Quite a sight. :cool:
Could be, in more than outward appearance.
Apparently, there is a proposal to restart production of the F-1 engines for use on SLS:

Does anvil launching somehow qualify as an "antique firearm"?
Built a 4" tubefin from Blue Tube for my L2. Attached the fins using epoxy and screws into the centering rings. Detailed pics in the build thread here:

Those guys all have LEUPs for the BP, right? :D
Correct. YYZ is the IATA code for Pearson Intl. airport, Toronto.
Has anyone else noticed that the opening guitar riff is actually the letters "Y-Y-Z" being sent in morse code, like a VOR beacon?...
Lotsa great possibilities here....

Like many others, I use Cat5, because I have access to huge amounts of scrap. Some brands have each of the 4 pairs bonded together (like tiny zip cord), which makes it a bit harder to work with. A...
