Nacelled Wright R-3350. Some beauties never loose there looks, and no there's no blood in her lines, shame....

A pedestrian walks among triangular shadows cast inside an elevated bridge crossing. Called "Torque", the bridge was designed by artists Jennifer Marman and Daniel Borins and New York-based architect James Khamsi of FIRM a.d. and connects the Delta Hotel to the existing PATH system.

Power is the name of the game.
In order to create the much needed power you have to have the gigantic wind turbine to twist and torque it's way towards generating energy.
Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

The inspiration here is 'Torque' by Kristin Hersh. Download, free & legal, in high quality here. Lyrics here. I only discovered her music some three years ago, and now listen to it all the time. Especially since I found out about her latest album.
Just now I found this page with the history of the song. Anyway -- the photo is about this bit here where a human being's very nature is explored and questioned.

Flight safety is enhanced through the use of torque paint (aka, torque seal, torque stripe, indicator paint, tamper paint, ...) which is a quick drying brittle paint applied to certain critical parts such as push-rods or propeller bolts.
After the part is properly tightened, the mechanic applies a dab of paint indicating the step is completed. At each pre-flight the connections are checked. Any movement or loosening will cause the paint to crack and flake off indicating there is a mechanical problem impacting safety.

For the Macro Monday theme of measurement I have chosen a torque wrench with a 3mm and 5mm socket - this is a wrench for by bikes both road and mountain bike as on a carbon frame it is important you measure the force you apply when tightening bolts or fixings.
Here's the Holden Efijy concept car on display at the General Motors showcase in the parking lot of the Athens Coney Island diner in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak during the 2007 Woodward Dream Cruise.
When I think of American car companies that operate in Australia, I primarily think of Ford, but GM also operates in Australia through their subsidiary, GM Holden Ltd.
The Holden Efijy is a retro-styled concept car with a design evocative of the automobiles of the 1940s and early 1950s, especially the Holden FJ (which was made in 1953; I guess Australian designers were still into curvy styles while American cars were beginning to sprout tailfins).
From Wikipedia:
Richard Ferlazzo was the designer behind the Efijy project. He began sketching the first designs in 1989. The main reason for making this car is purely for entertainment. “Invariably, people smile when they see it for the first time. Efijy is our accolade to the talented designers who cut loose with some fantastically flamboyant styling in the post-war 1940s and 1950s,” Richard Ferlazzo said. “Ask the question, ‘what would these people have created using all the skill sets and technology we have now’, and Efijy might be the all-Australian answer to that question," in relation to the original FJ designers.
The engine used is a Chevrolet 6.0 litre LS2 V8 engine that has been supercharged and modified by Ron Harrop, an ex FJ racer and well respected automotive person in Australia. The engine produces 480 kilowatts (645 bhp) and 775 newton metres (560 ft·lbf) of torque through the rear wheels.

Special:
- The 32 is basically an improved 600/32 with a bigger and more powerful engine and was redesigned by Johan van der Brugghen (W. van den Brink designed it original in 1955).
- The body was re-styled by Giovanni Michelotti.
- DAF was the first car to have a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) system - the innovative DAF Variomatic: a continuously variable gearbox transmission with an automatic two-stage centrifugal clutch in drum (with "het pientere pookje" - "the smart gear stick").
- An interesting feature: putting the car in reverse reversed the entire drive system. This enabled the vehicle, in theory, to reach the same top speed in reverse as forward.
- Advantage: it was the only small, affordable car with automatic transmission.
- Disadvantage: because the car had an unsportsmanlike image, it had often an "image" for the elderly or disabled people.
- The Series 32 was available as this 2-door Coach, as 2-door Panel Van, as 2-door Estate Wagon and as 2-door Pick-Up.
- They were only assembled in Eindhoven - The Netherlands.
