About the FounderTumblr (3.0; @nucleargearing)http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/<p>Oh, Thank you very much! Sorry for not posting recently, but unfortunately my Junior semester is a bit hectic for me to post much on tumblr, that, and my projects are down to a lull when at College (unless you really want to hear about Hall thrusters and Aircraft Stability and Control) so I will continue to post as soon as I finish my finals-</p> <p>Thanks for your interest!</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/49090142800http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/49090142800Sun, 28 Apr 2013 10:01:25 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4ae36eba662dd9dee922825cfb7730dd/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/eb2e140ede401a038d25bd86221afcc8/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d3930b08f2c053a40ad8ef9604b1a88f/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c46c35874b3f3dbeb3e19694311571be/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/73ad9f4d688bec5669d4a07ec6ea02f9/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7b25c45fe91db4d7937ad10242b1b2f8/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o6_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/040dae8eab8c34dadcdf237479139079/tumblr_mhoe7i8Ko01roo6z2o7_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>Why did they ever cancel Police Squad!, it’s such a good show.</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/42246330930http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/42246330930Sun, 03 Feb 2013 22:11:00 -0500Police SquadTV1970<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d2626aa616de9bf7c87fb0f93f1641ec/tumblr_mh98q2JW441roo6z2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The BMW team was at the Krispy Kreme in Daytona and I MISSED IT!</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/41556640788http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/41556640788Sat, 26 Jan 2013 17:49:14 -0500RaceDaytonaCars<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c4b5c10b9b02fe2ffce1d504ca6d7946/tumblr_mgw7bjyjuc1roo6z2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Atlas D</p> <p>Launching Mariner 3 Deep Space Probe</p> <p>1964</p> <p>With the egrets doing a fly-by and the fire engulfing the whole bottom end of the rocket, this picture looks like it’s straight from a scene in a movie!</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/40953851322http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/40953851322Sat, 19 Jan 2013 16:50:07 -0500NASASpace1960<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1a8a58f17ac537fd7804ec8ec2dc8c57/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9cb514e1301930078cf656a3f4aff182/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o12_r2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/728ecdb8b1421cb0ed1ebaf8151b624d/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/eedd5ff3f039b07a5c7cf90d64adc72a/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/56aaa0e0d30d3a654a57fb0861e54e26/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1e17f0da5702468a7b98df48877f83c9/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o11_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1bd983b2bc3e7f31aa5df3b7ac29c8a0/tumblr_mgudyqiBPt1roo6z2o10_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>The TF/SPY-2 is your ultimate resource in Intelligence gathering capabilities!</p> <p>My computer case is nearing completion, with the paint added and buttons installed, but the trim for the outer edges of the case must be cut to size.

This round we’ve taken in that dilapidated Cherry topper seen around the Mojave Desert. Two Variations exist, the Nevada Highway Patrol and California Highway Patrol. The old bubblegum machine resembles a cross between the Packard Caribbean and a Packard Clipper- with a few extra add-ons. The engine has been moved to the rear (Replacing the Continental Kit) and utilizes an atom powered turbine. This looks like an open circuit turbine, releasing the radioactive sediments in the stream behind, unlike the <a href="http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/25999848410/heres-a-zinger-for-all-the-fans-of-fallout-out" title="Corvega Info" target="_blank">Corvega</a> which has a closed circuit. The open circuit, although more dangerous, is much lighter which can utilize faster speeds to catch the capers red handed! This paddy wagon also has the air inlet as a scoop on the hood of the vehicle, routing it to the turbine in the rear to get more air flow. Well, there you have it, the end to another Fallout update, With more updates rolling as the information flows in!</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/39444680516http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/39444680516Tue, 01 Jan 2013 23:19:16 -0500CarsFalloutNew VegasRetrofutur1950<p>So an update with the Queen Mary-</p> <p>I had replaced the front two brake pads and rotors with minimal ease (I really like the pin and clip system that the British use to release the brake pads) When I took off the back wheel I found a harrowing sight (No, the wheel well was not rusted to bits): The brakes for the rear suspension are inboard instead of outboard like the front. One reference to the maintenance manual yielded this:</p> <p>        <img alt="image" height="366" src="http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17iujkbqogsgfjpg/original.jpg" width="456"/></p> <p>The Suspension system was taken straight from the Jaguar XKE (E-type for you driving on the left side of the road) and had the same racing type braking system! This means that the whole rear end must be taken off of the body to get to and repair the brakes. The rear end looks like this when removed:</p> <p>                 <img alt="image" height="261" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5a/1985_Jaguar_XJ6_rear_suspension.jpg" width="394"/></p> <p>So, I had to send her to a specialist who has the tools and the know how in order to repair my sad cat. Luckily I have a few friends in the British and Import Repair business, and I got the name of a guy just across town who has done a few of these repairs- Lucky Me!</p> <p>A reminder to all- Remember to repack your bearings!</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/39190524756http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/39190524756Sun, 30 Dec 2012 00:06:00 -0500JaguarCars<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/54e7df2c5d2c941fd98f67a6bc5b2fc2/tumblr_mfq6y2VehZ1roo6z2o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Hobbit was a Pretty good Movie.</p>http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/39015840900http://nucleargearing.tumblr.com/post/39015840900Fri, 28 Dec 2012 00:22:00 -0500MovieShop Humor?<p>Sorry Friends, I&#8217;ve been away for so long without so much as a howdy-doo.</p> <p>This semester was a bit of a curmudgeon, taking 17 Engineering Credits was not a good idea while piling on research and projects.
