Q: Engineering Challenge Questions? Feature suggestion

Sam WestonI'm currently staying in a rural area in a small cabin as part of an internship, I got up this morning and it was so cold my milk and become a thick slurry, yuck. However to me this is just simply a design challenge, I love finding minor problems around the home and trying to find unique or inter...

Q: How to design a hemispheric flexible pressure vessel?

Sam WestonConsider a balloon, it is a flexible, expanding pressure vessel made of synthetic rubber. I am trying to design a system that will use hemispheric pockets of neoprene to grip an object, much like the one found in this journal: H. Choi and M. Koç, 'Design and feasibility tests of a flexible ...

Anyone willing to take a look at my most recent question? I don't think I worded it very well.
Apr 12, 2015 00:54
@HDE226868 It got another upvote
Apr 11, 2015 23:08
Indeed
Apr 11, 2015 23:07
@HDE226868 Yeah it was weird, downvoted again
Apr 11, 2015 23:05
I down voted the question but then it removed my vote ???
Apr 11, 2015 22:56
yeah real convincing kid

@HDE226868 Although now I realize that this is probably a homework question
Apr 11, 2015 22:53
Not me, although it's a simple question to answer.
Apr 7, 2015 01:33
So so cantankerous
Apr 6, 2015 22:13
Every time I go into chat there seems to be a call for meta discussion on 'homework' questions. We're like a lonely old man; "You damn kids, get off my lawn"
Apr 6, 2015 22:10
@hazzey Perhaps we should have a meta meta discussion about the frequency of meta discussions on this topic
Apr 6, 2015 00:31
@TrevorArchibald I recommend CrossMe
Mar 22, 2015 21:26
Hi guys, is recommending someone perform an experiment to resolve a question that hasn't recieved any answers an acceptable course of action?
Mar 16, 2015 04:15
I've used quite a few manual and CNC lathes that could handle 5mm, depends how big it is
Mar 16, 2015 04:15
Uhh, what do you mean swiss lathe
Mar 16, 2015 03:32
@HDE226868 Me too
Mar 9, 2015 02:35
How are people today? what's new?
Mar 8, 2015 00:45
on the assumption that other nations*
Mar 8, 2015 00:44
@hazzey I think your question may rely heavily on other nations use the same colloquial trends as yours :/
Mar 1, 2015 22:03
Hey guys! What's happening?
Feb 20, 2015 03:50
but that will drop me to 43 rep and then I can't freely comment
Feb 20, 2015 03:50
will I lose my privelledges if my rep drops below the privilledge due to offering bounties? I want to offer 50 for this question: engineering.stackexchange.com/questions/227/…
Feb 20, 2015 02:06
@GlenH7 If you find a solution, post up your method on instructables or something, I'm interested in building one myself, but I'm a little busy with my robot bartender
Feb 20, 2015 00:16
plus, that's like taking a volunteer census, useless data
Feb 20, 2015 00:13
I was mostly just curious, it seems most users here are from the US
Feb 20, 2015 00:12
you mean as a feature proposal or something?
Feb 20, 2015 00:05
Anyone know what the nationality demographic split is on this site?
Feb 19, 2015 21:11
@Air Yeah I'd buy it
Feb 19, 2015 03:19
Only became a user a month ago, much love <3
Feb 19, 2015 03:19
SE has eliminated that for me though
Feb 19, 2015 03:19
Oh yeah ha ha yeah precisely
Feb 19, 2015 03:18
imgur, most comics, profile pics
Feb 19, 2015 03:18
well, specific images it seems
Feb 19, 2015 03:18
Can't see images at work :/
Feb 19, 2015 03:09
and mass searches
Feb 19, 2015 03:09
it's created a culture of poor expectations
Feb 19, 2015 03:08
I think it's a result of the problems that SO set out to eliminate, answers lost in forums, answers behind paywalls
Feb 19, 2015 03:08
I used to do that sort of thing in high school when web developing
Feb 19, 2015 03:07
For instance they go on create a user, ask a question, don't get the answer immediately, go looking else where and forget about the user here
Feb 19, 2015 03:07
@TrevorArchibald I think it's more of an impatience thing
Feb 19, 2015 03:03
Yeah but I think that's a new user thing
Feb 19, 2015 03:02
@GlenH7 You know, now that you've mentioned it that doesn't surprise me at all
Feb 18, 2015 22:23
It surprises me that 800k people of so have the Scholar badge but 1m have the Student. Scumbags not accepting answers :I
Feb 18, 2015 22:20
What level of pokeman will obey me if I get it?
