Woodpipe1-200dpi.jpgComposite pipe technology from 1920324 viewsSabie museum, South Africa. I have been working in the composite (GRP) pipe business since 1992 and noticed this pipe with great interest. This is a sample of the pipe imported from USA to water the citrus trees ca. 1920. The woodwork is made the same a barrel is made. The steel wire gives it extra strength to handle pressure. Today we use FibreGlass for reinforcement and easily make mass production pipes with a continues process at speeds of 30-50 meter per hours and for pressures up to 32 bar.showyourphotos

Willie_hold_up_the_pisa_tower_-_we_just_had_to_do_it.jpgThis is how the leaning tower of Pisa was fixed so it does not fall over.291 viewsMaybe you didn't know, but the tower of Pisa was falling over more and more over the last few 100 years. It was pushed back after 1992. The tip moved about 500 mm for the tower to be in the a stable position where it was 100 or so years ago. The tower was falling while they build it and was never straight. Now there are several rumors and theories of who fixed it and how. Here is my theory with proof: Willie, a no-nonsense engineer from South Africa, simply pushed it back a bit and now it’s OK. Well doshowyourphotos

Model_train.jpgModal Engineering267 viewsMy Father in law, Bryan Muller, is involved in this sport. The meeting of modal engineers from all over South Africa showed off the best of the best. It takes several years to scale and build these trains. It seems that very few young people are doing it now, maybe because this is a technology they had no part of and in the case of South Africa, it is not popular to be an artisan anymore.showyourphotos
