That sounds a little more reasonable. Although there are so many bizarre fittings out there I have learned that most anything is possible once you take even the half dozen most popular producers into account.

Fittings are rated to the same pressure as the pipe of a corresponding size. (A reducer being rated to the lower of the two pressures.) Meaning a 2" Sch 80 NSF-PW fitting is good to 400psi.

BTW a Sch80 PW PVC 2" x 1/2" bell reducer is officially the oddest fitting I have heard of someone having.

EphOph, All orders that were pending should be shipped at this time. If you still have an order that has not arrived, please send me an e-mail at BCPneumatics@gmail.com, including your order number in the subject line ASAP. As of recently, all current orders are shipping out according to the regular...

Aside from convincing us that your name is warranted, I am not terribly sure of the point of this topic. There are a ton of nuances of this conversation on which to comment, but I will restrain myself. First of all, shooting for distance is not an inherently unsafe behavior. The fact that you think ...

This is fine, since no one is talking about building a device like this, or using solid propellants in a launcher. There is actually nothing terribly special about these types of carts. They are simply an intermediate that was around for a short while until centerfires and rimfires were developed. I...

Said so well it deserves reiteration.

Rag, I just set up one of those water drinking birds to tap F5. I am going for the high score!

psycix, You pray to high gravity?

(Sorry, Ragnarok made me do it.)

rp- I believe when something is pulled into a black hole it obtains (what is the right verb?) gravitational singularity, thus making the overall hole 'stronger'

While it is true that Rossler is probably more capable of talking about the reasons behind this 'fear' than he is qualified to talk about the actual happening, I still trust he knows more about it than we do. As far as I can tell he knows at least some of the mathematics, and has a bit of formal tra...

Rag- I think people are afraid we are going to kill ourselves for the ultimate reason of playing with what we don't understand. If we are sciencing (yup, I use it as a verb) in uncharted territory, finding a person fully 'competent' to evaluate it's risks isn't possible. Of course, they have rounded...

hi- I don't want to waste my time posting because you didn't want to read something. Black hole's are not the ultimate goal of this devise. They don't particularly 'want' them, any more than you want ascorbate acid when you think "Mmm, yummy orange juice!" Sure you think this is a waste, but like yo...

I think the 'scary part' (IE, the reason people are freaking out) of black holes is that they can continue to grow as long as they are absorbing more mass than they are giving off. The lucky thing is, the mass they give off is inversely proportional to their size. This means that a small black hole ...
