Scorpion, I have done a bit of civil engineering, too.
I designed and built lakes and 25-foot steel bridge and 40-foot concrete bridge across the overflow weirs of the dams, before I was 14 years old. My father was not an engineer, but he let us do whatever we were capable of doing on the farms. Later, for a graduate course in civil engineering, I engineered the largest one again, including all the soil analysis and run off calculations, just to match up to our historical records.
Since then, I have engineered 6 buildings over 10 stories tall and one over 20 stories, and supervised construction on them - site, utilities, electrical, fire, HVAC, structural modifications, plumbing, all of it.
I have engineered large civil sites up to 280 acres paved, including roads, drainage, water, sewer, and electrical duct banks.
If you don't understand machine design and high speed dynamics, don't comment on my explanations. The wiki knowledge is strong with this one. Lee, I wasn't commenting on your machine design. I made a direct reference to you in a thread on the handgun forum saying that Glock handguns use 'jet propulsion forces', which is a line of bull. Also, your entire above quoted post must make you easily the most talented engineer in the world. It would be somewhat believable to me if you only claimed to be one type of engineer. The fact you claim to be an expert mechanical engineer, along with being an ace civil engineer (before you could even drive a car), makes me throw up the BS flag. There is no way that a 14 year old could actually design and build a steel or concrete bridge of that size, properly. With the talent you clearly must have, I am sure a man of your caliber has received numerous awards from professional organizations. Pray, do tell, Lee. I'd love for you go into a few details about all of your concrete designs, as well as highway designs. What roads did you design and build? State DOTs keep records of these things, and it would be quite easy to find out IF you actually did design a certain road/highway. What about buildings? If you have "engineered" 7+ buildings, Lee, you HAVE to have a PE License. What state are you registered with and what is your license number? That would be the easy way to validate your claims. It's a simple matter to check with whatever state you claim to be licensed in.

yes I know, it was as if I was summoned to a thread I was otherwise uninterested in.
Something clever here.

You know lee, I have pic of nearly every project I've been involved in, but instead of boring someone such as your self with silly little billion dollar DOT projects, lets see some of yours.

Does anybody but you really buy the bullschit your selling?
NO. That doesn't seem to keep him from piling it all the thicker,however.

He has quite an impressive resume to say the least. Not sure if there is anything he hasn't done regardless of the field.

Thanks, 340boy. I just can't take Lee's lies anymore. tzone, the only boring thing about DOT projects is following the paver for miles and miles and miles.

Thanks, 340boy. I just can't take Lee's lies anymore. tzone, the only boring thing about DOT projects is following the paver for miles and miles and miles. I do like paving in late Oct, early Nov. when it keeps your feet warm. My favorite part is taking nuc densities for weeks on end. Nothing like hurring up and waiting. I'd rather do that though than sit in an ofice for the next 5 years like I'll be doing. 'tis better on the really hot days and really cold days.

Sorry guys but Dave's Boob design wins! He out engineered everybody! Certainly an elegant design, that. Good finish work, also...

We had a very cold summer this year, and I worked on a project that was nights only. When it got down to 50 degrees it made it nice standing by 300 degree asphalt.
