So i think i came up with a good idea of how the fulcrum of my trebuchet will work. i think it needs a little work but it should be ok. I think the only problem i may come upon is the lever arm falling out.

This is really comming together!

So yeah, Andy and I almost died today.

Some background info. Andy and I are working mechanical crew this summer and the school gave us a 1992 blue s10 tahoe pickup. To put things in perspective, this truck is rusted over and a stick shift. The only thing this truck is good for is going from point A to point C and back to point B with a load of sh..stuff.

So we pulled into the mechanical parking lot today to go and clean the boiler in the basement of Sorensen. After we finished, we went back out to the truck to go over to the power house to see if Ralph needed us to do anything. As Andy shifted out of reverse into 1st, the engine stopped. I laughed at him cause I thought he had slipped the clutch and stalled the engine. As he is trying to restart the truck, Jack Duncan comes walking over and tells us to get out of the truck. We thought he was joking till he kept walking towards us. Apparently the truck was leaking gasoline. badly. We luckily stopped doing stuff before we blew up.

So yeah, we almost suffered an explosive death. I blame the Jesus, AKA Buddy Christ, action figure we have taped to the dashboard.

QWERTY!

Well, i am off to do nothing. Jake OUT!

Maybe i will try and get the school to pay for me to file patents cause i cant seem to get a break

 Wireless Energy

Benjamin Franklin anyone?

Yeah, in case you didnt know, Benjamin Franklin had the idea for a city powered by bolts of static electricity comming from a centralized massive Leyden Jar. 

And funny note, as it so happens back in my junior year of highschool I had an idea for wireless energy by using different radio frequencies to transfer energy through the fabric of timespace. I even made sketches and everything, I just wish I could find them to prove I'm not making this up. Oh well. Back to Cash Cab.

there, i updated
