The heads are extremely easy to put on. You have to remove a pin from top of the hammer and slide the next head on. Since the part below the brick would taper outward slightly, there would be no need for a pin below the brick too. Since the only thing left after the BRICkHAMMer has been used is the handle, it would definitely be dishwasher safe. The only issue would be fitment into the dishwashing apparatus.

Binary Weapons Industries (1 part+1part=1 weapon) holds the patent on these types of weapons. However, the limiting cost factor would be the cost of the components plus operating costs to manufacture the parts. Taking into account a small profit margin (to be fair and competitive) of ~15%, I believe the cost of these weapons is minimal. There would be no cost for labor since that is part of the function of the weapon. (i.e. placing a loaded head onto the handle and replacing the pin)

A fully automatic version can be produced. The downside of such a modification would be the added weight. Having multiple heads on the unit would make the unit quite heavy. Smaller heads could be used, but at the cost of least destructive/explosive force.

For those looking for maximum destruction, the BRICkHAMMer can be enabled to have multiple heads charged and ready for impact. When in "Nuclear Brickstick" mode (5 or more heads attached in tandem), one should take the proper precautions such as wearing protective face masks and body armor.

I swear, if people from other countries would come in here and read this they'd be like "yep, those war-mongering Americans" HAHAHA

Also, what are the chances of a head exploding by accident as you're loading it? How stable are the explosives? Do you have to arm them first? Are they nuclear? I like Gary's idea for the automatic loading.

Gary, my PM's dont work. please call fontana. we are in the room at the moment. they know how to contact me.

Thanks!

PerkyStina

hey guys. wish all of you had come up yesterday with us... even if you chose to head back Saturday. it's really nice up here since there aren't many cars around yet. Only a few Audi Quattros are out. The weather has cleared up today. I miss you guys.

See you next weekend when we get back.

Agent of Chaos

can't call right now. At work and on conference calls. Got your text message and about 50% of your voicemail. I'Ll try calling after I get out of work today. (about 5:00).

JKM

Hey, Stina, what room are you guys in anyway? That might help if I knew where I was going

Nuclear charges aren't going to be place for the personal BRICkHAMMer, but that is an option for our rocket-powered BRICkHAMMer. (The name of the "Nuclear Brickstick" mode for the personal version is only a nickname.) Note, however, that the rocket-powered BRICkHAMMer is to be carried by a plane such as the YF-22/23. A rotisserie packed with BRICkHAMMers could be devastating.

The BRICkHAMMer is a highly developed combat weapon. There have been no instances of premature detonation during testing. The head is armed when it is placed on the handle and the pin put back into place. In order for detonation to occur, a substantial force is needed to start the explosion. Simply dropping the BRICkHAMMer or bumping it into something is not enough.

The development of a BRICkHAMMer without the need for externally placed explosives is in the making. The design employs the use of pressure sensitive sensors to signal for the charged head to explode.

Fo those of us here at the Gap, I'm thnking about 1:00 for the Friday afternoon Skyway run. That should put us out on the Tennese side of the Dragon in plenty of time for the 4:00 gathering.

Melba gave birth to twins at about 730 last night! I don't think she was too happy I was already trying to cram in another set an hour later haha.

I could have been finished with the swap last night and the car back on the ground had I worked through til about 2am, and had I not run into complications. Remember how I said the studs came out with the nuts? Yeah, not so much a great idea like I thought. It made it a PITA to get the gaskets in there while trying to balance the turbo and put the bolts in at the same time...know what I found out? I only have two hands! You believe that?! Yeah, so that was kinda hard, but I got them all in and tightened down, only to realize I hadn't lined up one of the oil lines so now it's mashed in there and I have to loosen the bolts again and pull the turbo out a little. Aside from that, I should have the project finished tonight after a few hours of work. I also discovered a possibly HUGE problem with my old turbos after I took them out. I refer you to the photos...third one is what it's supposed to look like, the first and second are of my old one, one is a side shot showing just how bad it is. Sorry they're blurry, but you can still see the problem.

darktritium

Um...WOW. Since that's exhaust side I don't know how much of an effect that would have. Since both ports are dumping into (split bellmouth?) the same pipe I don't know if that would affect your boost. What I'm worrying about is the level or deterioration of the split. It's not just cracked, it's decaying. Could this be brought on by too lean of a mixture (Josh, care to chime in?)? Or is this something that just occurs after the manifold is cracked?

speedjunkie

iTrader: (3)

Well look at it this way...why would they separate it in the first place if not for some kind of effect? I posted this on MSCCNC and Ashraf simply said "a crack right there will definitely ruin your fun" haha. I feel the same way about the condition of the crack, cause like you said, that's no simple crack.

darktritium

Gotcha. True about the split mouth. Hopefully that'll help a LOT when you get that sucker back on. You said something about an oil gasket gone bad for your turbo, right?

The FB's engine is toasted. David was driving us up to the dragon from Fontana Thursday afternoon, and we backfired and lost major power. Got it to the dragon and parked. Wouldn't idle. Sounded like crap. Hoped it was the spark plugs, ran to Maryville, ordered them and bought a compression tester. Got dark by the time we headed back from Maryville, so our friend used his trailer and we brought the FB back to fontana. Parked the truck/trailer/FB overnight and compression tested it this morning. Front rotor was very very uneven, and the rear was 0 all the way around. Spark plugs were WHITE from being so lean. It seems that the leading ignition system was weak, or the secondaries on the carb may not have been working. The main thing that we believe caused it was the higher RPMs on the fun twisties. We haven't driven like that anywhere in Raleigh, so we had never had any issue for daily driving, so that would be why we think it could have been the secondaries. The rich smell we've always had was because it was dumping fuel that was never burned. Ugh. So strange. The FC was left at home, so she cursed the FB.

Chris and his buddy are towing the FB back tomorrow on their way home. We got a tow dolly from Maryville today when we went to lunch at Cracker Barrel. Gonna ride home with our guys on Sunday morning, and work on the FC Sunday evening and Monday.

Oh... We got one round trip of the Dragon in before she blew. David ran her through to the Tennessee side, and I ran her back to NC. At least we both got a chance to have fun.

V-8 swap is a major possibility.

SPARK NOTES:
1. FB's engine is blown.
2. To make a long story short, just read above. Just about as short as I can get it!
3. Looking for a V-8 for the FB.

Well, it doesn't matter anyway. I think my engine might be gone. It still has the same problem it had before, it does seem like there is more power on tap now though, but that could be just because it's been a while since I've felt some power. If I go WOT, when it gets to 3k it drops off and shortly after that it starts bucking like crazy. And when I rev the engine in neutral it pops alot, almost like backfiring. Tomorrow I'm gonna swap the check valves, and run some more Sea Foam through the engine starting at the intake elbow this time. After that, I'll be doing a rebuild.

Damn, that's jacked up, HAHAHAHAHA. Sorry to hear about your engine Stina and David, why a V8 though?

darktritium

DAMN.

darktritium

Horseshit. You said you had ~95 PSI across both rotors right? No way in hell that your engine is toast. Melba, yes. Toast, no. Can you reset your ECU by any normal means? Just an idea.

speedjunkie

iTrader: (3)

95 on one, 90 on the other. What are you doing today Phil, feel like taking a trip down here with your tester? HAHA

darktritium

If MY car was running fine, I really would, but even if I did, I don't trust my compression tester. I dropped it one day, so I think it's not working.

Operation: Shaft is in effect. Got shopped out yesterday.
