Modern automobiles feature countless electrical systems, such as the horn, headlights, fan motors, and auxiliary lamps. Obviously, all these systems need power, and that power needs to be regulated and controlled. This is where relays come in. Relay switches controlled by electrical power, with the purpose of automating this power to switch electrical circuits on and off at particular times. Relays can also switch multiple circuits, including different voltage types, within the same relay at the same time. Read more >>

When it comes to removing old finishes, getting rid of rust and corrosion, or preparing a surface for painting, abrasive blasting is often an ideal and efficient solution. By choosing the right material, or ‘media,’ for abrasive blasting, you can save time and money on otherwise intensive cleaning.

Today we’re focusing on the basic design of propeller blades. The use of propeller propulsion systems extends over a century and have paved the way for modern air travel as we know it. Let’s take a look at how standard propeller blade design helps to creates sufficient airflow in order to generate lift. Read more >>

It’s not fun to imagine a rusted bolt head crumbling or snapping off of your engine components. The premise isn’t fun, but for older systems, it’s a painful, inevitable reality. Corrosion and heightened pressure over time can lead to the degradation of an engine bolt rendering it entirely inoperable. There are a few steps to follow that might help you in your quest to remove the pesky fastener. Read more >>
