Technical Issue

This year, I'm taking up some challenging project utilising Magneto-Rheological Fluid (MRF) to control a structure. Sounds cool huh...here's the Jizz of wat's that fluid..


That puddle of shit looking thing over there...yeah..the middle one...is the fluid...

Left shows..before the fluid is activated...and right shows after...

The MRF is behaves exactly like a cup of coffee. However, if there's a magnetic field applied through the fluid, it'll harden up (activated) in less than 10 nano seconds...

What's the use u ask?...

This fluid acts as a damper in the next generation cars (Ferrari is using that now)...to dampens out vibration by regulating magnetic field below the suspension...cool eh

The military uses this technology to make bullet proof vests...

NASA uses that for their space stations...

Nike and Reebok is looking forward in this direction...making some SmartShoe out of it...

What's with my project?

My team is currently researching on ways to implement this into any high rise building to dampens out earthquakes or tremors. Hopefully by the end of this year we show some results xD. Tough project with limited resources but fun i guess.

Wish me luck~ That concludes Part 1 of MRF

(PS: if anyone happened to be interested...hire me...hahaha)

Practical Mathematical Calculations

*ROMANCE MATHEMATICS*
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy


*OFFICE ARITHMETIC *
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime


*SHOPPING MATH*
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

*GENERAL EQUATIONS *
A woman worries about the future until she gets a
husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets
a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money
than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a
man.


*HAPPINESS*
To be happy with a man, you must understand him
a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot
and not try to understand
her at all.

*LONGEVITY STATISTICS*
Married men live longer than single men, but
married men are a lot more
willing to die.

*PROPENSITY TO CHANGE *
A woman marries a man expecting he will change,
but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't
change, but she does.

*DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE *
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of
a new argument.

*HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU
ABOUT GETTING MARRIED*
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings,
poking me in the ribs and
cackling, telling me, "You're next."
They stopped after I started doing the same thing
to them at funerals.

Rule 101 on chrysanthemum

I got my mum a bouquet of chrysanthemum today...according to the florist...they r indeed for mum~....coz it rhymes...i guess...right?..right?...
WRONG~!!
I din know back in m'sia they use that for praying or something...lol...bad choice..bad choice...

Chrysanthemum

The China Astor, or chrysanthemum indicum, is a symbol of happiness and a life of ease. It is representative of autumn in the symbolism of the four seasons, along with wild plum (winter), peony (spring), and lotus (summer).

The chrysanthemum, also known as the mum, is a flowering perennial plant of the genus Chrysanthemum in the daisy family (Asteraceae).


*In OZ...the flower is meant for mum...or mothers day...

*In M'sia...the flower is used for sembahyang...

*In my dictionary...the flower is used to make tea...

Anyway..mum's still touched...i guess...coz i nv gave her flowers during mothers day b4...muahaha...

...

..

.

Though....5 minutes later...she took up her scissors to snip off the poor flowers' roots...putting them beside the altar(for sembahyang purposes)...XD
