About Me
Quotes I like: "Prediction is very difficult, especially concerning the future." "There are some things so serious that you have to laugh at them.” __ Niels Bohr Given his contribution to the establishment of quantum mechanics, I guess it's not surprising he had such a quirky of sense of humor. ......................."Deliberate misinterpretation and misrepresentation of another's position is a basic technique of (dis)information processing" __ I said that

Mitt Romney says we should turn over the FEMA function to the Private sector... what more vouchers??
Yeah, I can just imagine it. Everybody will get a voucher for flood, fire and or earthquake rescue (including a bit of food for a little more $s) in an amount that will go up 'somewhat less than inflation'. Of course, for those who have plenty of money in reserve, the vouchers added to that would buy you preferential response from private rescue firms ("Gold card lifesaving service" ![]() "Please sir, can I live another day?" |

GM develops magnesium tough enough for body panels: double digit fuel economy gains possible
GM Welding Breakthrough Enables More Use of Aluminum http://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/news.detail.html/content/Pages/news/us/en/2012/Sep/0924_welding.html DETROIT – General Motors Research & Development has invented an industry-first aluminum welding technology expected to enable more use of the lightweight metal on future vehicles, which can help improve fuel economy and driving performance. GM’s new resistance spot welding process uses a patented multi-ring domed electrode that does what smooth electrodes are unreliable at doing – welding aluminum to aluminum. By using this process GM expects to eliminate nearly two pounds of rivets from aluminum body parts such as hoods, liftgates and doors. GM already uses this patented process on the hood of the Cadillac CTS-V and the liftgate of the hybrid versions of Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. GM plans to use this technology more extensively starting in 2013. “The ability to weld aluminum body structures and closures in such a robust fashion will give GM a unique manufacturing advantage,” said Jon Lauckner, GM chief technology officer and vice president of Global R&D.
