      @moose: I am (still) a mechanical engineer which means that i think about the designs of things for the fusion reseach machine, like a large gate-valve about a half metre wide and one and a half metres tall. I have to do some caculations to see if my first thouhghts are strong and stiff enough to work and then I tell an draftsman to draw it up in 3D CAD and i check it before it goes out as a finished design….See my profile for what CCFE does……..
