I'm now inspired to learn how to weld and fabricate this summer and fall. I'll have to purchase a kit and hit up a few buddies to learn the basics, but nothing ventured nothing gained is a perfect motivator.

Nice. Im reminded of this episode of Invader Zim where Gir is in a ship and wonders what all the buttons do and commences to press every button a billion times. . "What's this do?!?!"

You should add Watts and kpm conversion to the end of HP section. Topics to consider for this thread: Viscosity; Vacuum and pressure; Ohms and kirchoff's Laws; resistance, inductance, capacitance, reactance and impedance; thermodynamics; frequency and resonance. Maybe some metallurgy so they...

S.T.E.M., it'll take you places...
