Sponsor


Armstrong HumidiClean™ humidifiers feature patented ionic beds, which are made of a fibrous medium that attracts solids from the water. This minimizes the buildup of solids on inner tank walls and heating elements. Once the ionic beds have absorbed their capacity, they can be changed in about 15 hassle-free minutes. To learn more, visit www.armstronginternational.com/CSE.

 

1. Billiards a great teaching tool for M/E students, prof says
Dave Alciatore has taught mechanical engineering at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colo., for 18 years and uses the mechanics of billiards to help his students learn mechanical engineering and physics principles. In his classes, Alciatore’s students have built a cue-testing machine from scratch to measure and compare different cue sticks. Up next? The students plan to add sensors to measure vibrations and compare speed of the cue stick and design the ideal cue stick.
