Active aero, mid-mounted flat 6 pushing out 1400hp at sea level, 1100hp at the Pikes Peak start line and 900hp at the top of the mountain. What does any of that mean or matter? Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inNOTE: This was recorded before the sudden and sad passing of driver Ken Block in early 2023. RIP to a motorsport and performance industry legend.Betim Berisha gives us the [TECH TALK] @semashow rundown on the @BBIAutosport 1972-ish Porsche SVRSR “Hoonipigasus” Open Class @pikespeakhillclimb1916 build which runs a modified Porsche GT3 R 4.0L flat 6 engine cranking out 900hp to 1400hp, depending how far up the side of a mountain you are.Why an early 70's Porsche based design via Joe Scarbo @scarboperformance8623 was used is discussed along with some of the challenges relating to a mid-mounted engine setup as well as aero packaging advantages via the 6000 pound of downforce at 160mph via CFD goal @VerusEngineering had, and how that stacked up (well) in reality.As discussed elsewhere the 2022 attempt at Pikes Peak sadly ended with engine failure which BBi and associated partners have not hidden away helping us all see that no matter the budget and level we're working at, sometimes things can and will go wrong. Importantly @gscpowerdivision5618 has since done the work to identify and solve 2022's weak link, with further testing to find and fix more planned.Electronics wise the car runs two @MoTeCAustralia M142 ECUs and a @boschglobal PDM which are taken care of by Sander over at Obsidian Motorsport Group who we have talked with via the 051 Tuned In podcast on this build previously too.

In this episode I discuss failure analysis component or joint failures during product testing or use and manufacturing problems such as supplier quality problems and manufacturing output that doesn't meet specifications. Failure analysis is part of performing a root cause analysis to identify the action, event, or decision that led to a component failing in a product or led to a manufacturing problem. The information from a root cause analysis is used to either fix a problem - in the case of product design and manufacturing - or assign blame - in the case of an insurance claim or litigation. Michael Pfeifer is a metallurgist and metals engineer. He works with design and manufacturing clients to help with Component materials selection Manufacturing process development Supplier evaluation Failure analysis and root cause analysis He received a B.S. and M.S. in Metallurgical Engineering from University of Illinois and a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Northwestern University.

On this episode of The Gas Compression Podcast, host Michael Haning welcomes Jim Detorre, President at Failure Analysis Services, Inc. With over three decades of machining background and over two decades working for Caterpillar dealers, Jim details his experience transitioning to failure analysis services. What is the typical failure analysis procedure and what are the best practices? Jim gives a thorough walkthrough, skimming across the surface of the complexities involved in diagnosing the failure. He provides a multitude of questions to gather as much factual data as possible and interpret those facts and why the failure occurred. Jim estimates that about 75% of failures are due to contamination and lack of cleanliness. Any time the compressor frame or engine is opened up, it risks contamination. The environment for servicing work should be contained and clean if at all possible. Before the pandemic, Failure Analysis Services hosted 30 classes a year and is now offering in-person courses again. Check out their website for more details.

Formal apartheid was abolished decades ago, yet rampant inequality remains a salient feature of South African society. Poor leadership, corruption, and cadre deployment are often cited as the reasons for the ANC's failure to make progress in that regard. While one can acknowledge these factors, one legacy of apartheid that is often overlooked is its spatial legacy. Civil engineering may be value-neutral in theory, but those who design the plans are rarely free from ideology. In this episode of The TK Show, civil engineer and former public servant, Gundo Maswime, joins TK to discuss the lasting effects of infrastructure designed by the previous regime, the need to get more civil engineers to join the public sector, and the importance of preparing the next generation of civil engineers to understand the socio-political context in which they operate. --- TK Pooe (PhD) is a senior lecturer at the Witwatersrand School of Governance; his main fields of research are Public Policy themes such as Local Economic Development, Law and Development, Scenario Planning and Thinking, and Failure Analysis.

In this episode, I share from an article where we investigated a claim involving a well pump installed in 1999. The claim was that lightening caused the failure but the technique described in this episode shows clearly how there were zero facts that match that type of loss. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/matt-warren8/message

Today I have a very special guest on for an unscripted show. Meet my 10-year-old son Mason. He is in 4th grade and his favorite sport is wrestling. He loved wrestling during the first two years because he had great success. In his third year, he got a new coach, learned new moves, and was moved into a new wrestling bracket. He lost all his matches that season and was devastated.  Mason and I are going to go over how he felt when he won and lost, what to do with those feelings, and how to learn from both winning and losing. This will give an example of how to do a failure analysis with your child so that you can instill the growth mindset that will help them triumph through all life's ups and downs.

Safety Podcast, Safety Program, Investigations, Human Performance, Safety Differently, Operational Excellence Bob is a degreed Aerospace Engineer, having graduated from Texas A&M University in 1970. He worked at McDonnell Douglas as an Aeronautical Loads Engineer on the F4 Phantom Fighter until 1973, then became employed at Allied Chemical's Nylon plant in Chesterfield, Virginia --an internationally recognized leader in Manufacturing Reliability at the time. Nelms eventually became part of Allied's Corporate Reliability Center, where he concentrated his attention on Failure Analysis until the Center was disbanded in 1986 -- whence he formed Failsafe.   His professional work initially focused on the physical causes of machinery failure. He developed an expertise in experimental stress analysis, including strain gage and photoelasticity studies. He also became involved in probabilistic reliability studies, including Weibull and other statistical analysis methods. But his passion emerged when it became obvious to him that human beings cause all physical failure. Since 1996, Bob has devoted most of his time trying to clarify the sensitive human issues at the root of all failure.
