Quotes About Mechanical

Victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists. If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of creating greater prosperity for all peoples.

If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building a greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war—even the munition makers. So ... I say, "TO HELL WITH WAR!

Bridge depends on character. Your character and the character of your opponents. You must consider the character of your enemy. This is true of bomb disposal. It is two-handed bridge. You have one enemy. You have no partner. Sometimes for my exam I make them play bridge. People think a bomb is a mechanical object, a mechanical enemy. But you have to consider that somebody made it.

Nu am f?cut operaÈ›ia suficient de mult timp pentru ca t?ierea puilor s? devin? o rutin?, dar munca a început s?-mi dea senzaÈ›ia unei proceduri mecanice, iar aceast? senzaÈ›ie, poate mai mult decât oricare alta, m-a tulburat: cât de repede te poÈ›i obiÈ™nui cu orice, îndeosebi atunci când cei din jur nu cred nimic despre ceea ce faci.

He believes in romance. He isn't merely going through the mechanical movements of a man in an exciting situation. He is, vitally and positively squeezing the last drop of delight from living the best life he knows in the best way he can.

I'm a machine freak. I just love it when you can get a big ol' steel machine to do the most that it's capable of doing.

Everyone thinks because we love cars and our dad was in the business, we love the mechanical end of cars.

Nous sommes de bien petites mécaniques égarées par les infinis.

We all like motorcycles to some degree.

The storerooms are full of hearts. This is the city of spare parts.

Many old timers spoke of 'winding-up' a Model 'T' Ford to get it started: In the same time period, watchmakers had perfected time-pieces which required 'winding-up' only once in every eight days:

Automatic simply means that you can't repair it yourself.

Both the Delvigne and Thouvenin rifles relied upon a human physical action to force the projectile into the rifled grooves. Capt. Claude Etienne Minie was intrigued with the problem and was determined to find a way to expand the base of the projectile mechanically to achieve a consistent and predictable trajectory.

He has no time to be anything but a machine. How

This survival of the fittest which I have here sought to express in mechanical terms, is that which Mr. Darwin has called 'natural selection, or the preservation of favoured races in the struggle for life.

Recently a study proved that working from a larger, less cluttered computer screen increases concentration. I could have told them that. And yes, I write first drafts with a mechanical pencil and a yellow legal pad. There's good reason for this primitive behavior: I am a crackerjack typist. My hand moves far more quickly than my brain.

From a very young age, I liked to take apart things. All of my Christmas gifts would wind up in a million pieces. I actually recall taking apart my dad's lawnmower three times to understand how combustible engines work.

If you sort of treat the environment in sort of this mechanical, industrial way that there's a disconnect between man and the environment, it's very easy to treat people that way.

We used to take a used locomotive engine, tear it down, rebuild it, and put it back out there. We treated all the engines the same.

The majority of reductive scientists, when they experience this fundamental aspect of reality, experience one overriding emotion: fear. Self-organization leads to an inescapable conclusion: there is more going on than mechanical reductionism perceives or can explain.

Nothing I can do. We lost the outriggers. I need the wheels free to engage the crankshaft.

There is nothing in the world more perfect than a slide rule. Its burnished aluminum feels cool against your lips, and if you hold it level to the light you can see God's most perfect right angle in each of its corners.

These are examples of "transhumanism," which advocates embracing technology to enhance our skills and capabilities. To survive and even flourish on distant worlds, we may have to alter ourselves mechanically and biologically. To transhumanists, it's not a matter of choice but of necessity.

Most of the energy of a chemical rocket goes into lifting its own weight into space, but a nanoship passively receives its energy from external ground-based lasers, so there is no wasted fuel—100 percent of it goes into propelling the ship. And since nanoships do not have to generate their own energy, they have no moving parts. This significantly reduces the chances of mechanical breakdowns. They also have no explosive chemicals and would not blow up on the launchpad or in space.
