[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 114317, member: 24"] Re: Incandescent Lightbulb "ban" 2014 Hydraulic engineering. A number of years ago, a well meaning but poorly reasoning engineer at a local oil fired power plant went to use a hydraulic ram to clear a blockage in a supply pipe. Everything started moving at his end so he assumed all was well without checking to see how it was flowing at the other end. Yep he basically blew out the side of the pipe at the blockage and then pumped thousands of gallons of fuel oil into our local river. I was working as an environmental analytical chemist at the time and our group ended up with the contract to monitor the cleanup over the next year. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD [/QUOTE]
