ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse if necessary and identify by block number) Navy Underwa ter Construc tion Teams require a capability for making access holes through a rctic sea ice. Required hole diameters range f rom less than 4 in. (J OO mm) to more than 10 ft (3 m) in ice up to 15 ft (4 .6 m) thic k. Small diameter holes are to be completed in less than 4 hr and la rge diameter holes in le ss t han 8 hr. The report f irst gives brief descriptions of the working e nvironment, site access con- side ra t ions, and probable operational procedure. PrinCiples and tec hniques for penetrating sea ice a re sum ma rized, wit h an initial list of 14 topics. Twelve of these items are identified as potentially re levant, and are discussed more fully. They include: 1) projec tile penetration, 2) shaped charge penetrat ion, 3) high pressure water jets, 4) bla sting, 5) flame je t s, 6) e lectrothermal devices, 7) hydrothermal devices, 8) rota ry drilling, 9) perc ussive and vibratory pene t ration, 10) mechanical c utting, 11) c hem ica l pene tra- tion, 12) exotic concept s. The final selec tion, which ta kes into a ccount prac tica l concerns and f ie ld experie nce, recom mends the following things as basic tools: a) small dia me ter auge r drills (Jess tha n 4 in. diam), b) large diamete r a uge r drills (::: 9 in. diam), c) chain saws, d) a hot water system for drill- ing and c utting. The disc ussion of assoc iated equipme nt covers elec tric genera t ors, hoists and lifting 20.

Over the divers past decade, the pace of activity increased, largely • holes from 4 to 10 ft diameter as a result of oil and gas exploration in the waters • holes larger than 10 ft around Alaska, Canada, and Greenland.

P. Arunkumar 3, Sanju Paul Kurian 4 1, 2,3,4. Department of Mechanical Jay Shriram Group of Institution Tirupur-638660 Abstract— Conventionally digging a deep holes or larger diameter holes requires more work and rime.so in order to reduce this losses we are planning to design a post hole digger machine for Kamco Tera-trac 4W tractor. Post hole digger machine is used to reduce the man work and time for digging holes. These holes can be used for fixing electric post and different plantation such as rubber plant, coconut, sugar cane etc. For rigid power and support, machine is attached to Kamco Tera-trac 4W tractor by means of PTO (power take off) shaft and three point linkage. PTO shaft of the tractor act as a basic power input and three point linkage provide a rigid support to the machine. Guarded shaft is used to transfer power from PTO shaft to the digger machine. Blades are provided at the end of the machine is used foe digging holes. Various type of holes can be created by using different diameter and length of blades. For designing Post hole digger machine, Creo parametric 1.0 software is used. Creo is 3D mechanical CAD software in which Drafting and assembly can be done easily.

  • In the Autumn 2011 Edition of the Quiver I Wrote an Article Touching on the Topic of Survival As It Applies to the Bowhunter
    In the Autumn 2011 edition of The Quiver I wrote an article touching on the topic of survival as it applies to the bowhunter. In this article I want to talk about fire specifically and the different types of firestarters and techniques available. Fire is an important element in a survival situation as it provides heat for warmth, drying clothes or cooking as well as a psychological boost and if you’re hunting in a spot where you are one of the prey species it can keep predators away as well. There are many ways to start a fire; some ways relatively easy and some that would only be used as a last resort. There are pros and cons to most of these techniques. The most obvious tool for starting a fire is a match. While this is a great way to start a fire in your fireplace or fire pit I personally don’t like to carry matches in my pack or on my person. They are hard to keep dry and you are limited to one fire per match IF you can light a one match fire every time. It would be easy to run out of matches in a hurry as you are limited in how many you could reasonably carry. A Bic lighter or one of the more expensive windproof lighters is a slightly better choice for the bowhunter to carry. They are easy to use, easy to carry, fairly compact, and last for a reasonable amount of “lights”. They don’t work well when wet but can be dried out fairly easily.
