but how did you make s many instructables!?!?!
I'm new to the website, but I can't seem to find were to make a new instructable.
could you tell me what to do?

Right now I'm 13. But I want to be a mechanical engineer when I grow up.

You totally should!
But, you don't have to "grow up" :p I'm doing my best not to (I'm in my mid twenties)

Now I want to be an agricultural engineer. I also have good news. I GOT ACCEPTED TO JCIB!!!! :D I'm also going to take the Shades Valley Pre-Engineering Academy! I went to their open house & it is right up my alley! I'm gonna take German as my foreign language.
Same here! & now I'm 14. (I'm talking about growing up).
I went to Career Cruising & the #1 choice on the likes & skill was Agricultural Engineer. #2 was Mechanical Engineer Tech. YAY MECHANICS! :D & I'm thinking about going to JCIB (Jefferson County International Baccalaureate) next year. I make As & Bs, even though my mom said I'm not dedicated enough to last in there & pass it.

Your Avatar... Is it taken at the MYTHBUSTERS HQ? I think I notice the clean floor and the scaffolding-like structures from that show.
Jun 29, 2008. 11:34 PMtrebuchet03 (author)
says:
No, not at Mythbuster's HQ :p That was taken inside a Lockheed Martin building in Orlando. Those shelves/racks are fairly common industrial modular type units... They're basically incomplete box steel beams that assemble press fit style - K'nex for adults :) My father has them in his shop (same color and everything), and it too has a nice clean (well, somewhat clean) and smooth concrete floor :p No, I haven't met the mythbusters guys... Yes, I'd be interested in meeting them, having lunch or whatever :)

what kind of fruit and plant attracts butterflies and catterpillars and what soil would make that plant grow and how much sunlight or how much water does the plant need?anyways nice instructables it did help

Butterfly bush plants like full sun and a well-drained soil. Buddleia davidii is relatively drought-tolerant.

Only after 2 years have I bothered to get an account here on instructables. Just wanted to say that I've been following and using yours. I really enjoy the collegiate meals. Anyways, I'll be watching you! Much love, your fan.

Hello, and welcome to Instructables!
I have realized that you did not receive a greeting from ewilhelm (Eric) or the Instructables Robot, so here you go!
I do NOT work for Instructables, but I give out greetings once in a while and help people on Instructables.
Welcome again, and just have fun here.
If you have any questions, you can contact the Instructables staff, or me. If you do not know who they are, you can check them out here. Just click on one of the accounts at the link I just gave you (somebody in the Instructables Team/ Interns/ Advisors) and ask them in a private message or comment. You can click here for a guided tour of Instructables, or click here for an Instructable about how to make your own Instructable.
You can ask me about anything on this website, how to change your profile avatar icon, posting Instructables, anything! I'll be here for you.
Have fun here at Instructables!

Ha! That's pretty funny :p I had deleted my Orange board awhile back :p In any case, I have been greeted by Eric, Canida and Robot (in the flesh! - well, sorta) etc. :D Actually... It's 2008... Probably time that the odometer resets and I clear the Orange board again...
I put today any photos in http://www.instructables.com/id/An-easy%2c-cheap-and-efficient-way-to-straighten-and/
I just checked out your website. Very nice. Now I understand your choice for your Avatar. : ) Lots of cool contributions. Thanks.

dude,he's a brilliant student in an engineering college.as it is engineering students have a lot of time on their hands,AND this guy must be finishing his work early.DUH he's got time.
Mar 8, 2007. 5:12 PMtrebuchet03 (author)
says:
Some of the recipes come from where I came from... My mother and father :P Others come from experimentation and just paying attention to other meals and such :) As for time... It doesn't take long to put those together. Plus I like taking pictures :) I haven't posted lately just because I've been hammered with school work - plus I've been eating frozen food (cough - my own frozen food ;) ).

I assume Lockheed is a sponsor of you HPV team? Once you have the whole build (or at least the most significant parts of it), you should be able to make a totally sweet portfolio from the Instructables to help get Lockheed to recommit or to attract more sponsors and take it up a notch. Great work.
Mar 31, 2007. 9:44 PMtrebuchet03 (author)
says:
Well.... Sorta. Officially, Lockheed has a trust fund for people they sponsor - we don't have anything like that. We have an extraordinary contact at Martin and he has gotten use clearance and worked out details with his superiors to let us have access to equipment. He has worked out some material donations (which has been a lifesaver for the project). So in that respect, Lockheed Martin has sponsored us. It is evident that he is very proud of the work he does and the company he works for - and he should be. I personally think this is part of the reason why he has helped us so much. I never thought of using the instructables as a selling point for sponsors :) I'll keep that in mind - because we're doing this on a tight budget (I think it's something like less than $2500 - I'll have to check) compared to other teams ($40,000 plus) :P

Hey man your knowledge on building stuff seems to be infinite what do you know about paragliders?
Mar 8, 2007. 10:14 PMtrebuchet03 (author)

Believe me... My knowledge is very finite ;) I really don't know much about paragliders... However, I am doing research on making power kites. If you want, I can link you to a few resources I've found thus far ;)

I was trying to build the air cannon that you posted on Instructables and was curious how you were able to connect the 2 Liter bottle to the system. The threads seem to be different on my device than the pipe threads. Any help would be appreciated.
Feb 17, 2007. 5:07 PMtrebuchet03 (author)
says:
I didn't thread it on ;) I used .5" tubing and a whole lot o glue. The tolerance on the tube and bottle is probably a 1/16 of an inch (diameter). Additionally, PET (soda bottle) and PVC/ABS are not compatible - so the glue will not fuse them --- be aware of this.

says:
Thanks for that information. I now have an airtight seal in the system up to 60 psi. However, when I trigger the solenoid, the air is released slowly through valve and not all at once. Do I need water in the system to make the diaphragm move faster?
Feb 24, 2007. 8:54 PMtrebuchet03 (author)
says:
What kind of valve are you using? Can you post a picture? If you want to see if it makes a difference -- fill the thing with water and hold it so that water will go through the valve... Then give it a little pressure (20-30psi or so). See if that works. If it does - it seems likely that the valve is either 1) defective or 2) won't work for this application. Although, I've never come across a valve (like the design I posted) that didn't work for air :/

First I played Tenor Sax and Bassoon (for the concert season). Then I converted to brass and played Baritone ;)
Hey, what's your school schedule look like this year and next summer? Want to come out and spend the summer at Instructables?
