Yeah, the whole "afterburner" is called an augmentor. We haven't used afterburner for a very long time.

11 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yes and no. The introduction and combustion of fuel within the augmentor is called afterburner. The augmentor also serves a purpose (1/2)

What about automatic guns?

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

fully automatic guns can be designed lots of different ways, of course, but some are basically the same as what's up there, except (1/3)

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(5/3) the gun shown above is, BTW, a semi-automatic pistol—which in some circles is referred to as an automatic pistol.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(4/3) the second round, and cock the hammer is absorbed from the recoil of the first bullet leaving the barrel. It's super cool.

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(2/3)the trigger/hammer mechanism is tweaked a little bit so that when the 2nd round is fully in the chamber, the hammer is already starting

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(3/3) to drop onto the firing pin (as long as the trigger is still squeezed in). All the energy necessary to eject the 1st casing, chamber

Don't know what he expected, women made up only 11.7% of ME bachelors degrees in 2011. Now, Environmental Engineering on the other hand...

The fact in 2011 44.3% of Environmental Engineering Bachelors degrees were awarded to women shows that they're capable, just not interested.

Hey guys, I'm studying to be an ME. Just passed Dynamics and Statics. I'm really enjoying it. Is it worth it all?

11 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

It's fast paced, high stress, stuff goes wrong / breaks down all the time, and I find myself working more than I would like. (3)

Also, I don't use my education in my current job. I shelled out a buttload of money for a top 5 school and don't use my education...sucks. 6

Just have an idea of what you want to do. ME is very broad and you can probably get your foot in the door for any industry you want. (5)

11 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

For me it would depend on the job you get. I interned doing mechanical design for the biomed industry, it was awesome. (1)

11 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

For me, design is what I think I'd like to do for the rest of my career, manufacturing is OK but not something I love. (4)
