I'm going to try making a Vacuum Sphere that will float. No one has ever been successful I was told in making one that would work but I am going to try anyway. I use cheap and easily obtainable materials.

W16 Engine: The Cylinder Head (Part 3)

In this final post about the Cylinder Head of the W16 engine I will “repair” the part I made thus far and also adapt it for the right side of the engine.

Irish Education – Creating a Highly Educated Global Workforce

I continue my technology education tour of Ireland with my host Patrick Lynch from t4 and

Seamus Shanahan, Director of Solid Solutions Ireland. Seamus as been involved with the T4 technology, design, and engineering project since 2007.  As our SolidWorks Reseller living and working in Ireland, Seamus explained the t4 history.  There was a great deal of planning and dedication. T4 wanted all teachers and students to be provided cutting edge hardware, software, and resources to learn through design.  The top Irish educators, curriculum developers, assessment coordinators were trained by Solid Solutions Ireland.  Then they worked with t4 to help them develop projects in two subject areas Design, Communication Graphics (DCG) and Technology that used SolidWorks as the foundation tool for visualization and geometry.   Mathematics or "maths" was one of the core competencies to the t4 programs.
