Like Uranium, its the isotopes that are the real nasty ones. More common firms of Polonium is not that bad. But as said. Aftermarket snake oil.
Its a shame no one has produced modern castings for them like the Burtz motor.
A bit of a myth. ALL DOT fluids are compatable with the rubber used in brake system components. The issue is swapping fluid. Rubber absorbs a tiny...
Dot5 (silicone) has 2 significant weaknesses 1) its compressible so can't be used in ABS systems. It can also lead to more brake pedal travel 2)...
Depends what you mean by traditional. The clamps may have been available in the 20s but rubber gas and oil lines were not invented untill much later
Best combination of wear resistance, friction coefficient and lubrication retention. Same reason its used for bearings.
Both Impalas from different eras to prove how safe modern cars are. The staged crash was misleading as it deliberately impacted the 59 at its...
Not as bad as seeing cars getting wrecked in movies. That one was never going to be anything other than its weight in scrap metal.
