Default I saw an incredible steam forging hammer in Chicago

The problem is much deeper than a lack of engineering background. A
high-school level tutorial on the basics of pressure versus total
force would take about a half hour. Folks of average intelligence
wouldn't find it difficult. I know good people who could never get it
though. But I don't know any good people who would try to fake it, in
print no less, as Wieber does with his 165 IQ. LOL


What..you mean the press wont deliver xx,xxx tons per square in? Over
a rather large area..each little square inch getting xx,000 tons on
it?

Really? Oh woe is me..tell me it isnt so!

Snicker...laugh laughlaughlaugh


60,000 tons per square inch is at least 500 times more than any metalworking press can deliver; around 1,000 times more than any commercial metalworking press can deliver without tearing itself apart.

The steel in the ram itself will collapse like a wet noodle if you try to load it to more than 60 - 75 tons per square inch.

You *******! Why are you spoiling my fun? No matter I suppose. If
history is any guide, Wieber will stick to his story, physics be
damned. Forecast is calling for more comedy. Maybe this newsgroup can
become know as the Onion of materials science.

He rarely admits it when he's wrong -- in fact, he'll often resist any evidence, no matter how obvious and unquestionable, that contradicts something stupid that he's said.

He's an ideal Trump supporter. d8-)


Could Wieberskull material be used for super-strength rams and dies?

I love Wieber physics. Here's another of my favorites in which Admiral
Wieber, who "does" engineering every day, weighs in on climate change
by summoning all the buoyancy expertise he gained while hoarding free
sailboats.

"Ice is 30% larger in volume than water. When a block of ice floating
in a container of water melts..the water level goes....down..not up"
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt....c/BP4WQAsFAwAJ

Perhaps he'll take this opportunity to explain how much the water goes
down "per sq inch... btw."


It's a matter of engaging the brain before opening the mouth. There may be a problem understanding basic high-school physics, as well.


Add that to the very long list of things he can't reason out. Can you
believe he still couldn't get the per sq in thing even after I gave
him the Grant's Tomb hint? Man, that's scary dense.

I remember learning about buoyancy in grade school. Maybe it's not too
late for Wieber. Here's something he should be able to handle.

learning new conspiracy theories doesn't leave him enough hours to
catch up on grade school physics.
