Hi there.
If anyone has any actual hands-on experience with the tools required
to fabricate and maintain anaerobic digesters, windmills, methane
bottling facilities, etc. I would be very interested to hear about it.
My long term interest is to identify what components tend to need
maintenance, and when. I presume that every tool will wear out sooner
or later. What is the mean time to failure. If a tool fails, does it
need to be broken down for scrap or can it be salvaged? Obviously
different tools will have different rates of depreciation, so hands-on
experience can tell which tools wear out first.
Thanks.

My Brain gets worn out often (although people can`t see
it), but a little rest and some pills helps.

Any recommendations for specific pills will be duly noted. (:
By the way, I've posted a lot of these ideas to
www.halfbakery.com
where I was told that Mean Time To Failure is hard to predict outside
of highly automated system, so my initial idea was a little
unrealistic.

An interesting site for those of us who have the time to
Browse. A real Brainstormer where some of the ideas
there could be realised if not copywrited first!
As for the Pills, anything goes in my Head.
Is this any help to you?

Actually, I hope that such sites will be useful.
I just looked at what I was trying to accomplish and realized that
Buckminster Fuller had spelled out the whole problem of "tools and
skills" long before I had been born.
So actually I'm going to go back and look at Fuller's work because
he's already scoped out the problem.
