I live in Finland, one of the top countries on guns per capita. Also one the lowest gun crimes per capita. Very strict gun control, in fact, i can't own a single casing, let alone live bullet. All have to be licensed, all counted, no guns licenses without a hunting or shooting club membership, no guns without proper training. No backyard sales, not even ammo. We have long hunting tradition. Also a long militia background, guns and the need for them are acknowledged in every part of our culture and history, armed uprisings (albeit all of them failed) against oppressive conquerors are our heroes.. And of course that one little squirmish against Soviet Union, we got thru with it with guns. But the tools they used are not worshiped, just appreciated as good tools.

Hand guns are not for hunting and as such, they are even more controlled. No ONE has ever raised an opinion that our freedoms are being oppressed by our gun laws. Overwhelming majority likes them the way they are, only wanting more control on mentally disturbed individuals. Some of course want no guns at all and very small portion wants guns for all. But majority and i mean majority as in +80% are very happy the way things are now. If i want to start hunting or shooting as a sport; i can. I can't, however, get a gun just because i want one.

Also, front doors in Finland are sturdy enough that you can't just kick it in... Something to think about, we got the best locks in the business (google abloy, 99,99% of our locks are ABLOY). In fact, and this is coming from experience, our burglars don't pick locks. They remove the whole doorframe with hydraulic jacks (or remove the whole lockbase and part of the door with tons of force.. or drill the lock)..Locksmiths here don't have lockpicks as the locks are protected very well against lockpicking, in fact abloy is one of the benchmarks on lockpickers and it still takes hours. Instead locksmiths carry a big ass cordless drill with the hardest drillbits you can find; they drill out and replace the whole cylinder and it's noisy as hell. That's what our doors are like, maybe there is some answer there; you don't feel afraid when your front door can take a bear.

Howdy... the rear triple axel unit is often referred to as a "jeep". It is steerable (have a look at the two opposed hydraulic cylinders above the jeep frame and below the load... you can see the sun glint off the left cylinder at 0:07). The control lines for the jeep are running forward to the cab through the lines which are bundled just ahead of the 3 boomers that are holding down the load, and riding up on top of the beam. In the final 3 or 4 seconds of the video, you can see the black sheathed control lines bouncing up and down, still attached back to the jeep which is out of frame on the RHS. The mistake here is that the jeep wasn't controlled properly during the turn (it's one or sometimes two buttons in the cab, often attached to or near the gear shift for single finger operation); during the turn the jeep is turned to make a wide turn and stay in lane, and once the turn is made, the jeep should be brought back to a 0° (straight running) position, but it looks like it was left a few degrees right and thus hit the concrete guardrail. 10-4.

Says Sweden when you follow the link.

And just as a FYI. Hydraulic beds can get weird failures where they will raise on their own. I was told stories about one that would raise on it's own due to some problem with the controls, and the guy wasn't paying attention and drove down the road smacking all the traffic signals. AFAIK newer trucks have lock outs to disable the lift of the bed, but shit happens.

Honk at em if you see some going down the road with their bed raising (aside from salt trucks), cuz you never know what they might have in their bed that'll come spilling over on you. (seen a truck like this one hauling human waste they would put on crops but had too much of so it went to the landfill...looked like pudding and landfills smell really bad...and you could smell from a half mile when that truck was coming to be weighed on it's way in.....I still don't know how he legally hauled that around in what is essentially a non-sealed container.

*music

The 5 trucks need hydraulics so they can pop up and down with this music.

They needed the heavy metal music and fake scream track because you can probably hear the hydraulics of the thing from a mile away ;-)

I'd like to see it with LARGE SCALE HYDRAULICS and a seat.

Impressive. I'd love to see something like this using artificial muscles
and small scale hydraulics. Bioengineering is cool.

To be fair, TMWTGG was ramp-to-ramp. But also, this video was not ground-to-ground either, it was ramp-to-ground.

I'm 100% sure I've seen a barrel roll using hydraulic/explosive rams. THAT would be ground-to-ground.

Pretty much you'd imagine, but what strikes me is what should strike that truck's tires after the 1 or 2 warnings-Pop-up tire-poppers about render-dead-stopped distance from the tunnel's next repair shut-down.
Pop the sleepy trucker's go-circles (or hoist his shit up hydraulically w/piton) before the rainy, non-deterrent.
The rain-stop sign only works if he hits his brakes, right?

Yes, exactly. It seems strange that they were seeing failures from springs at such low engine rpm's, but in any case I have heard that you just can't achieve more than 18,000rpm with springs no matter what.

I have found a web page with some nice diagrams and explanations of the electro hydraulic system used by Renault... they have indeed done away with the cam entirely (at least in testing, not sure if it has raced since that article was published). Since the engine management system would have to manage this, and it is a control unit supplied by McLaren, we can be fairly sure that all the engine manufacturers have a common system.

Mythbusters, I propose this as your next assignment.

I want to see two "Buster" dummies with hydraulic arms swinging real chainsaws at each other!

*edit: Oh, and I *love* the title!

Eww!

They didn't even mention having to stop to rest after scuttling due to low hydraulic pressure!

What MonkeySpank said is actually partially correct. I think when someone refers to skeleton they usually are referring to an endoskeleton. Spiders do have exoskeletons, and they do have muscles, but as MonkeySpank said they also use a form of hydraulics to straighten their legs, and muscles to bend their legs (They lack extensor muscles).
