Flügelbombe Fi 103 (Vergeltungswaffe 1, V1) auf einer Walter-Schlitzrohr-Schleuder auf dem Gelände vor dem Kraftwerk der ab 1936 errichteten Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde (heute Teil des Historisch-Technischen Museums Peenemünde). In der ab 1936 errichteten Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde wurde vor allem die erste funktionsfähigen Grossrakete Aggregat 4 (A4, bekannt geworden als «Vergeltungswaffe V2») entwickelt und getestet.
Die Erprobung der weniger bekannten Fi 103 erfolge ab 1943. Im Schlitzrohr wirkte ein mit einem mobilen Dampferzeuger nach dem «kalten» Walter-Verfahren erzeugtes Wasserstoff-Dampf-Gemisch mit hohem Druck auf einen Kolben, welcher mit dem auf Schienen über dem Schlitzrohr gelagerten Flugkörper gekoppelt war. So wurde auf einer Länge von 48m die erforderliche Abschussgeschwindigkeit erreicht. Dieses (hier unvollständige) Exemplar wurde von den Alliierten gegen Kriegsende in Pas de Calais (Frankreich) aufgefunden.

Winged bomb (Flügelbombe) Fi 103 (Vergeltungswaffe (Retaliation Weapon) 1, "V1") on a Walter slotted-tube sling (Walter-Schlitzrohrschleuder) on the grounds in front of the power plant of the Peenemünde Army Research Center (Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde, now part of the Histroical-Technical Museum Peenemünde), which was built from 1936 onwards and was primarily used to develop and test the first functioning large rocket, Aggregat 4 (A4, which became known as the "V2 retaliatory weapon").
The testing of less known Fi 103 took place from 1943. In the slotted tube, a hydrogen-steam mixture generated by a mobile steam generator using the "cold" Walter method acted at high pressure on a piston, which was coupled to the missile mounted on rails above the slotted tube. In this way, the required launching speed was achieved over a length of 48m. This specimen (incomplete here) was found by the Allies at Pas de Calais (France) towards the end of the war.

An airplane engine like this has a diameter of about 3,2 meters, large enough to fit a small car inside. A curious fact is that it can generate enough thrust to move an entire freight train, showcasing the immense power required to keep an airplane in the air. Interesting, isn’t it?
I studied Mechanical engineering from 1992-1996 here
I practically spent nothing here in my four years on tuition fees .

Not many know the photographer of this famous image was Oswald Garside of Warrington, Lancashire. Oswald studied photography at Warrington Art School.
The Granville to Paris express careered through the buffers to land on the street thirty feet below. The only person killed was a lady selling newspapers on the street, killed by falling masonry. The current (2-2016) exhibition of local photographers at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery tells you Oswald's life story along with other prominent local photographers, including of all people Lewis Carroll of Alice in Wonderland fame.
a local workshop, been fascinated by these colours since i was a kid, the owner was my late father's friend. this workshop is a trusted family workshop (Kah Huat)
My grandfather was a fitter employed at the coal mines in the southern part of The Netherlands. He lived from 1893 until 1984. When he moved to an elderly home, I got his books on mechanical engineering, published in 1913. Two bulky volumes in German, in Gothic script, and with many technical drawings. A third thinner book contains more drawings of machinery in colour, consisting of several layers that can be unfolded to show the interior of the machines.
Beautiful books, which keep the memory to my grandfather alive.

Spectacular Engineering New LIRR Terminal 150 Feet Below Manhattan NY - IMRAN™
I consider Manhattan, New York my forever American hometown for 36 years! I have always admired the feats of engineering that show up as literally countless skyscrapers and train tunnels upon tunnels under the granite foundation since more than a century.
I have also been a Long Island Railroad (LIRR) user since 1993, literally years ago when I first found the spot to build my home on the NY South Shore beach in Suffolk. But those trains went from the old dilapidated Penn Station, under the landmark Madison Square Gardens.
Grand Central Terminal is an architectural work of art. I often go there when in the area. But I only took subway trains because the other trains went north of New York City, and Long Island is to the East.
After many years of incredible underground dogging and construction, plus the completion of a decades old planned tunnel, now I can take LIRR to Long Island from here too. I just didn’t have a chance to use it yet.
I was in Manhattan last week to speak at a Future Of SaaS event at the world famous Rockefeller Center.
After a great dinner hosted at world by the organizers, one of the attendees and I were chatting about technology when we realized we both were going to take the same LIRR train. He mentioned taking it from Grand Central and I said I hadn’t used it yet. So off we went.
What an incredible experience. The train tracks are nearly 150 feet beneath the city. That is nearly 15 stories DEEP. That’s deeper than the tallest buildings in many cities.
Imagine the marvel of engineering this is as I looked at the view from the escalator. it leads to the $12 Billion station that’s 350,000 square feet (33,000 square meters)! It took basically a century from idea to conception but what an amazing feat. I’ll post a video later. As you can tell, I ❤️ NY!
