Circumambulate her charm;
But our lot crawls between dry ribs
To keep our metaphysics warm."

Lead mining has been an important industry in the Peak District since before Roman times. Magpie Mine is one of the best examples of surviving surface remains from this once thriving industry. Magpie Mine stands south of the village of Sheldon. The mine has been worked on and off from the 1740s to the 1950s, by various shareholders and to differing intensities. Various methods were used to remove water so that accessed could be made to lead at a greater depth, including several different pumping engines. A sough (drainage tunnel) was created in the 1870s, costing around £18000, and prompted the first use of nitroglycerine explosives and pneumatic drills in the area. Magpie Mine is also famous for the disputes between 1824 and 1835 which culminated in murder and ‘the widows curse’.

Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Limburg, Heerlen, Dutch Mine museum, Pneumatic drill, (cut from B&T)
A pneumatic drill with its reinforced weathered rubber hose at the Dutch Mining museum in Heerlen.
The museum uses the shaft building of the decommissioned Oranje-Nassau 1 mine (once commonly known as ON1). I started up in 1899 and decommissioned in 1974. It's history is here.
The profitable mining in Zuid Limburg enabled Holland to build up the welfare state. But the region paid the price. Deep mining proved to be dangerous and sometimes even deadly. Many miners suffered from silicosis and other miner's diseases. And there were geological consequences such as the rising and falling of the ground of certain parts of the region and local earthquakes. And the highly polluted (asbestos, drilling emulsion) water from the the decommissioned mines is rising, which will eventually reach the ground water table. Check out this (sorry only Dutch).
From the early sixties onwards, the Dutch coal industry withered away and eventually was terminated due to the import of cheap American coal and the start of the exploitation of the Dutch natural gas fields in Groningen.
Another factor in this process was the big conversion from coal to oil as an energy source. A spectacular example is the conversion in the shipping industry from WW1 onwards. There were large cost savings in this conversion -among others on labour costs. And it sped up the world economy.
The mine closure caused severe social and economic problems in the region.
About the production of gas in Holland: every city / large municipality had its gas factory (coal to gas conversion). Due to the Dutch natural gas availability, these factories with their typical large gasometers could be phased out – from 1963 to 1972, the Dutch Gasunie installed a nationwide underground gas transport network. This led to yet another conversion process. This time in the Dutch households. The burners in the water heaters, stoves and furnaces had to be changed ‘cause of the higher energy content (caloric value) of natural gas ánd the high pressure of the Gasunie network.

A problem ever since pneumatic tyres came into use.
The first practical pneumatic tyre was made in 1888 on May Street, Belfast, by Scots-born John Boyd Dunlop, owner of one of Ireland's most prosperous veterinary practices. It was an effort to prevent the headaches of his 10-year-old son Johnnie while riding his tricycle on rough pavements.

Pneus velhos doados por borracharias da cidade de Carambeí no Paraná compõem o visual da entrada deste parque infantil - Centro de Educação Infantil São Judas que atende a comunidade do bairro do Boqueirão.
Os pneus foram pintados, restaurados e adaptados ao parque que faz parte do Projeto “Parque dos Pneus” elaborado pela professora Seli Regina Petroslki.
Adorei a idéia e a iniciativa e por isso divulgo aqui para que sirva de inspiração a outros locais do planeta.
Nice photo of the tiny shell used with the French 60 mm Brandt pneumatic mortar.
"A French pneumatic fired mortar bomb developed by the Brandt Company in 1915. This was an early attempt to develop a small portable launcher to launch mines and other projectiles during the early phases of the First World War. Although not very powerful, it was mobile and silent in operation. The launcher consisted of a tube 1.3 metres long which was linked to a system of tanks, pistons and a mobile breech weighing in total 22 kg. The propellant was compressed air that was supplied from bottles or from manual pumps."

2LT Estabrook sans shades on the ladder of his favorite jet, the T-38, at Laughlin AFB, Del Rio, Texas. Class 82-04. This is a typical "hero" shot for Air Force pilots. It is indescribable to be given the keys to a supersonic jet with afterburners and go fly solo. Be advised, we are sarcastic when we label these "hero photos." We know who the real heroes are. This was a 35mm color film shot cropped to a square in Photoshop CS2.
The machine is a pneumatic forging hammer photographed at the National Slate Museum, Llanberis , North Wales. Image originally made in 2018.
Thanks to the awesome parts sent byNew Elementary (
www.newelementary.com/ ) for their parts festival I finally managed to build this compact pneumatic tunnelier for which I had sketched a design back in 2012.

An old Chicago Pneumatic Tool air compressor from 1929 left abandoned near the old mining ghost town called Barron.
If you visit this area be advised that most of the town is private property and the owners may be around during the summer and fall, so be respectful and take nothing but pictures.

Oh and a big shout out to Zander (zeessi) he made an edit as well but at the same time as freedom, but i uploaded freedoms version first. sorry bro.
Model of the world's largest hydraulic mining front shovel, the Caterpillar 6090 FS. It is done at a scale of 1:28.5 to match my other mining models, some of which can be seen in the background of the video.
In fact, the roots of the mining shovel range of Caterpillar are the famous O&K (Orenstein & Koppel) excavators from Dortmund, Germany. Thus, Cat's 6090 FS is in fact a repainted O&K RH 400. Developed in 1997 by O&K, later on the mining product range has been taken over by Terex and thus the RH 400 changed colors as well. For a short timespan, Bucyrus International was the new owner, just to be taken over themselves by Caterpillar back in 2012. Since then the standard color scheme is yellow with black. Production facilities have meanwhile been transferred from Germany to Indonesia.
While the first RH 400s started somewhat smaller, the current shovel tips the scales at 980 tonnes. Two diesel engines deliver some 4570 hp. Funnily enough, these powerplants do not come from the Caterpillar product range. Instead, two Cummins QSK 60s are installed.
My model is fully remote controlled as can be seen in the video. Power comes from three rechargeable Power Functions battery boxes, two of which are in the upper structure, one in the lower works. Four SBricks allow full bluetooth control via smartphone and gamepad of the following functions:
- Independent drive of the left and right crawler tracks, each by a Power Functions XL motor.
- Slewing of the upper structure, using two Power Functions M motors.
- Boom, stick and bucket motions as well as clamshell bucket operated pneumatically. Each of the four functions uses a Power Functions servo motor which in turn controls a corresponding pneumatic valve.
- Air compressor using two of the large pneumatic pumps (the spring-loaded type), powered by two buggy motors.
- Independent boarding ladders on the left and right side of the engine module, powered each by a Power Functions M motor.
- Spinning engine fans (2x) and oil cooler fans (4x). Each group of fans is powered by an old style 9V geared motor.
- Work lights at different positions around the upper structure, using five pairs of Power Functions LEDs in total.
Vaig comprar aquesta càmera de gran format (9x12cm) desconeguda i en mal estat per un parell de motius. El primer era que estaba molt bé de preu (precísament per no tenir identitat coneguda i esta força bruta); el segon era el molt bonic obturador Bausch & Lomb Unicum tardà.
L'obturador en si era d'origen i cronología prou clares: produït als Estats Units entre 1906 i 1912. Destaca dels Unicums inicials (encara més bonics) per els seus colors sobris en cromat i negre, així com per una palanqueta lateral per obrir directament el diafragma i enfocar amb el vidre esmeril·lat. Aquest obturador en concret porta una lent Extra-Rapid-Aplanat sense més indicacions, i funciona perfectament.
La resta de la càmera, un cop neta d'oxid, ronya i nius d'insecte (ecs) donava pistes sobre el seu origen. Cap inscripció apart de "hinterlinse" en l'indicador d'enfoc. Això apuntava a un origen alemany. Revisant vegades i vegades catalegs de càmeres alemanes del periode 1900-1920 em va portar finalment a la conclusió que és una Bülter & Stammer, corroborat per experts en el tema, als que agraeixo l'esforç.
Hi ha molt poca informació sobre aquesta marca, reconvertida el 1922 en Orionwerk. La manca de nom pot indicar que fou exportada, probablement a França, ja que n'hi ha una de molt similar a internet (analogyou.wordpress.com/photos-vintage/) importada per Poulenc Freres. Per tant calculo que fou produida a Alemania entre 1905 i 1914.
====================
I bought this large format camera (9x12cm) as an unknown machine and in poor condition. Foremost it was very cheap (due to its filthyness and lack of id). The second element was the very beautiful Bausch & Lomb Unicum later model shutter.
The shutter itself was of clear origin and chronology: produced in the United States between 1906 and 1912. It can be distinguished from the initial Unicums (even more beautiful) for its sober colors in chrome & black, as well as a side lever to open directly the diaphragm and focus with the ground glass. This shutter specifically carries a Extra-Rapid-Aplanat lens with no further indications, and works perfectly.
The rest of the camera, once clean of rust, dirt and nests of spiders (buergh), gave clues about its origin. No inscription other than "hinterlinse" in the focus indicator. This pointed to a German origin. By checking time and time again German cameras from the period 1900-1920 finally led me to the conclusion that it is a Bülter & Stammer, corroborated by experts in the subject, to whom I am grateful for the effort.
There is very little information about this brand, reconverted in 1922 in Orionwerk. The lack of name plate in this camera may indicate that it was exported, probably to France, since there is one very similar to the Internet (analogyou.wordpress.com/photos-vintage/) imported by Poulenc Freres. So I estimate that it was produced in Germany between 1905 and 1914.

So this is a pneumatic rocket toy gifted to my youngest son. It's capable of launching the rocket you see quite high. My kids can proably get it to about 20m - 30m, or about 70'-100'.

Last months I had an increasingly problem with standing waste water of the toilets and sinks in my home. As vinegar, soda and suction plungers didn't help, I called a professional plumber.
He cleaned all sewer drain pipes from my house to the road.
No heavy clogging was found, but the problem stayed.
Now the plumber did inspect the inside of the drains with a long cable with light and a camera at the front.
Nothing spectacular was found. Only one place, where the bottom of the drain had standing water over it, was suspect because some cracks in the side wall.
After digging a hole of about 1 meter deep, the drain was located and also the cause of everything was detected.
A year earlier a fiber optic cable was installed (for internet, tv, telephone). From the road to my house this installation was not done by open trenching, but with an underground pneumatic missile.
This missile had cracked the underside of my head drain to the road and caused a hole of about 25 x 6 cm.
For more understanding see also the picture in the first comment !
Everything is fixed now - I can use my toilet again without nasty surprises ;-) - and with the photo's as proof, the costs were paid by the local community.
To make the smelly ;-) picture a bit more attractive, I used some photoshop tricks.
