Watertube Boiler in Hydronic System
This is how we will explain hydronics system to our kids 😁
What is Tensegrity Structure?
A tensegrity structure is a type of structure in which compression and tension are used in conjunction to create a stable and strong form. The name “tensegrity” is a blend of words from “tensional integrity,” which refers to the balance of forces within the structure. Tensegrity structures are typically composed of a combination of compression…
The Rhyme of Oil Separator

With pipes and valves and gauges galore,It works around the clock, never a bore,Separating the two, with skill and finesse,It performs its task with great success. The…
Theory of Engineering Enthusiasm
e = mc² Where “e” is engineering enthusiasm. And “m” is miniaturability and brickability of an engineering equipment, which is a measure of how easy certain equipment to be miniaturized and built by LEGO bricks. Then “c” is cuteness 😁
