  • Engineers make models using 3D printers:

jakemason1 : how often do you use 3d printing
edwardtaylor : We use 3D printing at work sometimes to create a respresentation of an engineering system. For example the other day we used a 3D printer to make a little model of a ship radar to show a customer! It looks really realistic and doesnt take long at all to make

  • Ground source heat pumps are a bit like fridges:

michaelheston2 : how does your technology work?
nicolalazenby : Like your fridge takes the heat out of food and kicks it out the back of it (check out the back of your fridge when you get home!) a ground source heat pump works by taking the heat out of the ground and putting it into your house
