I bought a tube of silicone gel and realised it is grey in color, I feel a waste and very environmentally unfriendly to throw it away, so if anyone needs this gel ,I am more than happy to pass it on, but you must pick it up from me😀. It cost less than$5, so dont bother if you don't live around hougang area. I can lend you the applicator too if you need one.

Anyone knows whether the dentist replace the 'bend' tube that hook at the corner of our lips every time they treat the next patient? If not we may be subject to whatever infection the previous patient may have.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev.—Hyperloop technology this week is accelerating toward becoming a reality. On Wednesday in the desert north of Las Vegas, Hyperloop One Inc. conducted the first test of the propulsion system that is essential to the high-speed transportation invention when a sled zipped down a track for about two seconds and crashed into a pile of sand, as intended. On the eve of the test, the company announced it has formed ties with more traditional transportation companies and raised fresh capital. All are milestones in the company’s plan to create a fully operational hyperloop system by 2020. “The hyperloop is real. It’s happening now,” said Chief Executive Rob Lloyd, during an interview Tuesday in Las Vegas. The company on Tuesday changed its name from Hyperloop Technologies, to help distinguish it from its main rival. Hyperloop One is one of the startups aiming to commercialize the idea that billionaire inventor Elon Musk floated in a 2013 paper: transporting people in low-pressure tubes at 760 miles an hour, nearly the speed of sound. Mr. Musk envisioned it as pods powered by propulsion motors that use magnets to hover on a sliver of air in near-vacuum tubes. The lack of air resistance and friction of traditional transportation are what would allow it to achieve such high speeds. Hyperloop One is jockeying with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies Inc. to be the first to bring Mr. Musk’s idea to life. On Monday, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies said it created a way to elevate hyperloop pods using permanent magnets, a new technique that is cheaper and conserves more energy than previous methods. It hasn’t yet demonstrated its propulsion technology. Hyperloop One said it also is experimenting with permanent magnets. The hyperloop idea has faced significant skepticism, pertaining more to its cost than its technology. Mr. Musk has said that a San Francisco-to-Los Angeles hyperloop would cost $6 billion. Experts expect it could be much more expensive. “We will reduce the cost of the hyperloop until it is two-thirds the cost of a high-speed rail system at three times the speed,” Mr. Lloyd said. To reduce costs, the company is breaking down its design into different parts such as levitation, propulsion and tube design, and learning to build each with less expensive materials. Established in 2014, Hyperloop One raised an initial $37 million in funding and set up an office in Los Angeles. Last December, the company started building its test site north of Las Vegas, including a half-mile-long open-air track that was used on Wednesday. The propulsion mechanism that Hyperloop One tested Wednesday is the first segment of the project. Off a dirt road 30 minutes north of Las Vegas, engineers in a control room started the countdown and a crowd of spectators in a nearby bleacher fell silent. The test focused more on the propulsion technology—whether it actually could move the sled— than speed. The track was shorter and there was air resistance, two slowing factors which will be eliminated in future tests. A roughly 10-foot sled containing the propulsion motor, but no passengers, lurched forward—a sign that the was engine starting. It zoomed by at 116 miles an hour and then drove into a pool of sand designed to stop it, creating a giant spray of dust. The company hasn’t yet built brakes for the contraption. Hyperloop One also is trying to prove that its technology would be worth deploying. The company said Tuesday that it is participating in private-feasibility studies to examine a potential hyperloop route between Stockholm and Helsinki, as well as networks to transport cargo from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif., and throughout Switzerland. In March, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies signed an agreement with the Slovak government to explore building a hyperloop in the European country. Hyperloop One’s latest funding comes from new investors that have transportation expertise. The $80 million Series B financing investors include France’s national rail company, SNCF, and GE Ventures, the venture arm of General Electric Co., whose transportation unit makes locomotives. By the end of this year, Hyperloop One plans to build and test a complete hyperloop, including the tube, pod and the computer that pilots the pod, Mr. Lloyd said. That pod should travel about 700 miles an hour, he said. “We think we will be able to demonstrate full Kitty Hawk capabilities by the end of this year,” Mr. Lloyd added.

I have a Butler Tube Amp TDB 475. One of the channels currently seems to be not working. Anyone has any idea whether any shops locally can do a check or repair?

Helo to all Bros & Sis, Sometimes I really dont understand,why such a small items(refer to topic) get stolen.Are people Desperate nowadays? Have something to share,the cost of the product per set? :angry: I'm one of the victim who drive OPC car.

Hi, Any MCFers here know where I can find replacement tube for the circular fluorescent light use in car interiors? (See picture) I know the entire lamp is only $20, but would be quite a waste to replace entire lamp.

Need some advice from the ICE gurus here Current speakers set-up: Rainbow (front) and Lanzar (rear) components; 2 ch JBL amp for front components My sound-tech is advising me to add in a bass-tube, a 4 ch amp and a pre-amp to complete my ICE Is a 4 ch amp really necessary? T.I.A.

Hi all, I've the following items (from my previous vectra) available for sale (no more space in current setup in my Mondy II liao). SONY XPLOD XM-222 AMP, less than a year old - $80 BAZOOKA BASS TUBE EL SERIES 8"(passive), slightly more than one year old - $150 These two items form a good combination for those who are interested in getting more bass out of their current setup, as the Sony amp can be bridged to power the Bazooka bass tube. Viewing is possible, and pls contact or sms me at 98487271. I can consider some discount for purchase as a set. Cheers

i found out yesterday that there seems to be a missing connection (prolly some kind of tube) betwwen the cam cover and the airbox of the carburatted engine in my 73 celica...... went to part shops and was told they don't keep stock for 73 model no more any bro here know what sort of substitue pipe/tube i should use? the position of the outgoing(male) hole from the cam cover and incoming(female) hole into the airbox is very oddly placed such that when i tried using a normal 15mm dia reinforced garden hose the curvature is too sharp to connect the two holes??? i need help btw, i actually have been driving the car since i bought the car 3 years ago and the engine runs ok..... should i really bother with this missing connection now? "if it ain't broke, dunt fix it"????
