I enjoy the show, but I agree with Wayne. Many times there "science" is more magic. Then, if they don't get the answers they want, they say it can't be done. There is an episode when they were bustin

Oh I don't know. For some years I worked as a test lab engineer for Black and Decker over in their power tool accessory division. A whole lot of testing is not as impressively rigorous as you'd think

Because the bottom of water heater tanks is concave, and as they noted, it became convex, it seems reasonable that the change from concave to convex at high pressures introduces lots of stress parti

I'd like to believe budget is the problem... but I can't. How much would it cost to hire an intern to search the Internet and see if the "myth" in question is really a myth or not? They're just intel

Makes sense to me. And why else would the bottom be concave on an electric heater? Normally pressure vessels are convex, to distribute the forces better. -- Randall _________________________________

Honestly, I've never watched enough to 'loathe'. Why would you keep watching once you had even reached mild disinterest? Much more fun to go into the shop and make some chips! -- Randall ___________

Nothing like having the water heater explode and shoot upward boring a hole in the floor above so that the refrigerator then ends up in the basement. :) Randy To: Mark Andy <marka@maracing.com> Cc: S
