Thanks, I thought all yours was mighty fine as well. Especially the crank throws being 90 degrees apart.

Nice find on that video too!

I wonder if this one was used as a kerosene room heater?

Mostly the same as this one.

The picture is not entirely correct, the phase of the piston and the brass cylinder is really 90 degrees.
We heat a manual gas burner.

Reading about the Democratic debates this morning and a few thoughts which also apply here came to mind...

1)Despite tRumps infantile attempt at distraction claiming he would like to debate Bloomberg we all know Elizabeth Warren, the law professor, would dismantle both tRump and Bloomberg in any real debate. tRump never mentions Warren because apparently he has the reasoning skills of a monkey and Warren would expose him for the narcissistic abusive psychopath he really is. I think it's comical how the republicans play down Warren and you can be sure there pissing there pants hoping she never gets on stage in a real debate with dipshit donny. A real education, intelligence and integrity can be a real bitch for the terminally misguided.

2)Many psychotic people use NDA's not as a business tool but as a weapon to manipulate people. tRump and Bloomberg seem to be using NDA's to silence people they have apparently cheated and abused which seems to be a sick and degenerate pattern of behavior for these kinds of people. It works like this, first the NDA is pitched as a "business agreement" then the rules are changed and the goal posts moved and when the person objects or speaks out the NDA is invoked. It is a tool for sick and psychotic people to gaslight and terrorize there victims for power or profit. It is no wonder tRump and his rich friends often use NDA's to hide there degenerate behavior from the public. I would never sign another NDA and if asked I would tell them to piss off and stop wasting my time. My freedom is worth more than that and they have nothing of value I need.

The common thread here is that these morally bankrupt people really have no interest in science, facts or the truth in any sense of the word. The upside here is that once we learn to recognize these psychotic and mentally deranged people for what they really are it's pretty easy to avoid them. Life is to short to get involved in there petty BS, were better than that in my opinion.
