Hmmmmm I like the Tyco Terrain Twister. I wonder if that screw drive would have possible applications in real life…..hydrostatic drive I would guess. What say our resident enginqueers out there? |

That BMW watch to compliment my BMW slide-sandals! I run all the time and my Sony AM/FM Walkman Radio is light, but sometimes a tad weighty/pully for shorts and I have to keep buying triple-A's for it. Has served me well, but this'd be so much more 'nifty' and I'd never forget it at home as it'd already be on me. I have enough watches, but heck, could make room for one more. Would save me from an imminent Apple iPod purchase (which would be better, but is also more).
It's not all that pricey - even if in $USD. And here I was contemplating getting together with some friends and buying one of the last remaining limited edition VW GTI watches at $895US for a friend of mine! Craziness, I tell ya!
Wholly shiznaught, I'm on the BMW-online.com site right now and my slides are on special for $14US. I picked 'em up in FL at a dealer for $24! Gunna pick up a pair or two more! They're comfy and so much better and distintive than the bright neon Nike sandals or others. Just don't get 'em wet like they show in the photo because they'll be stenky forever after!
Oh, that watch is NICE! My-my, oh so tempting! Must...get...off...site... |

I drive a choo-choo train.  When acquaintances ask what I studied in college, I reply "Mechanical Engineering". Most give a weird look, then ask if I fix cars or work for Canadian Pacific.  |

You think you got it bad, Mr. T. My discipline was Industrial Engineering...even more esoteric. "Soooo...what? You build factories?" And that was from other engineers.  As for the list, I'd take the Tyco Terrain Twister (very cool), the die dast Ford GT, or the brake rotor book ends. I've got TOCA Race Driver 2 and Colin McRae 04 already, but I'm waiting for Forza Motorsport. Too bad it won't be out in time for Christmas though.

Fack……notice how engineers talk more about how qualified they are to answer the question then actually providing a solution  . |

Actually, I thought it would be obvious how unqualified I was to answer the question. |

I want Colin McRae Rally 2005 and a force feedback steering wheel. I've been a good boy this year! Regarding engineering stuff, here's something you might find amusing. |

Re: Snowy's question I could see a screw type propulsion system being used for offroad applications, such as forestry or hydro maintenance. It could have the ability to 'float' over soft terrain, or even be amphibious.  |

Yeah, something like that might work well in the muskeg. It'd rip it up pretty good too, I imagine. |

Yes Mr. T……I was thinking about forestry. Most of the timber in Northern Ontario is cut, de-limbed, and stacked during the winter months. The region has many swamps, bogs, and is thick with decaying plant matter. The heavy equipment is hard to move around during the transition seasons and summer. Road construction is very expensive and many bridges/culverts are required. The auger/screw drive may work well in these areas. |

I bet G.I. Joe (George Dubya) could use one of those in the ongoing battle against Cobra (Al Qaeda) and the forces of evil (axis of evil). |
