CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT... This month we're featuring a project by John Newman - who built this model of the SpaceX Merlin-1C rocket engine. He says: "I machined this model of the Merlin 1C rocket engine from 3 inch bar stock I bought from Speedy Metals. I worked on all 10 of these engines for the first Falcon 9 flight to the International Space Station back on May 25, 2012. This is a display model but the injector head is interchangeable with 16 #2 SHCS allowing a fuel injector head to be installed. This has lines for gaseous oxygen and propane injection as well as a spark plug. There is no regenerative cooling so I ran the engine in short 3 second bursts only but got a thrust of 85 lbs. on my test stand."

DID YOU KNOW?
DID YOU KNOW...? ...that controlling bubbles is a key advance in the mining industry?
While mining materials like copper or lithium, only a small percentage of the material that is excavated is actually made up of the desired metal - the rest is "dirt-like particles" that must be discarded. According to Chris Boyce, assistant professor of chemical engineering at Columbia Engineering, "We have to separate the useful metals from the useless particles, and we do this by blowing air bubbles up through them." However, "this process utilizes a large amount of energy and water, causing climate change and water shortages, thus creating problems we are trying to prevent. We have this issue in part because we currently cannot control the motion of these bubbles."
But it turns out that if you vibrate the particles while blowing air bubbles through them, suddenly the bubbles are controllable, and arrange themselves into regularly spaced, triangular arrays. This will eventually enable scientists to optimize the use of energy and water for this process, creating a cleaner, more sustainable future.All by controlling bubbles.
