The Late Heavy Bombardment was a period of intense asteroid impacts occurring 3.9-3.85 billion years ago, evidenced by remelted rock samples from the Moon’s asteroids. Earth, Venus, and Mercury likely experienced a similar increase in asteroid impacts, causing serious environmental damage every 100 years. The oldest rocks on Earth are 3.85 billion years old, erasing […]
Heavy equipment training is divided into two categories: tracked vehicles and rubber-tyred vehicles. Diesel mechanics training is important for maintenance and troubleshooting. The best courses offer hands-on experience and safety training, with some programs taking place in actual quarries. Military instructors often teach heavy equipment training courses. The different types of heavy equipment training are […]
Heavy water, or D2O, contains the deuterium isotope of hydrogen, which adds weight to the atom. It is used as a regulator in nuclear reactors and is extracted from normal water. Heavy water is mildly toxic to humans and is tightly regulated due to its role in producing weapons-grade plutonium. Heavy water is the common […]
Heavy-duty actuators produce extreme torques and can exert 1,000 pounds or more of pressure. They come in rotary and linear types with electric, pneumatic, or hydraulic power sources.
