Book Description
A dangerous resultant can occur when we use and/or combine simple machines, such as levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, vectors, hydraulics, etc. This effect can be magnified many times when they interact with each other, or even when they interact with themselves. This resultant can either hinder us (minimally or deadly), or aid us resulting in a completed project - or a saved life. Being able to recognize and/or use the hundreds, if not thousands of different "resultants" may save a life; at the least, it accomplishes something important or extraordinary you would not have normally been able to. The examples I share are both technical and informative. In some situations people have died because of the resultant(s) or been seriously injured. In other cases there was considerable property damage, due to these resultant(s). Read-on to hear, learn, and share some information and experiences about . . . "Equipment, ropes, pulley systems, webbing, belts, cables, chains, different grades of chain (up to grade 100) links, master-links, turnbuckles (hook, eye, jaw and stub) cable clamps, hooks, blocks, sheaves, shackles (round pin, screw pin, bolt-type) connecting links, specialty chain fittings, sling saver fittings, pulleys bearing types, shank hooks, hooks, balls, Overhaul balls, blocks, sheaves, pins, hoist rings, pivot hoist rings, trench cover hoist rings, hook and latch kits, spelter buttons, eyebolts, eye shoulder bolts, wedge sockets, fist grips, shoulder eyebolts, . . . * Many Associated Principles, * Various Selections of and Choice's of equipment and systems* How-to rigging skills and information, rigging systems, pulley systems* Improvisation at its best.* Good examples regarding how-to create resultants and how-to avoid Dangerous resultants* How-to figure SWL (Safe Working Loads) or WLL (Working Load Limits) and many other Specifications, terms, and operational information* Do's and Don'ts, Corrects and In-corrects, quizzes and self tests (including answers that are found in the Appendix), ... * Information dealing with Safety, Managing Risk Exposure, and Understanding "Situational Awareness," including Safety Checklists, and more . . .* Including many examples of "Dangerous Resultants" and how various combinations of the above have created good situations to complete projects and save lives; or in some cases, killed people or created serious problems. Technically Speaking, I won't be speaking too technically. As you may have already noticed, I am not a professional illustrator, so please forgive my less than perfect illustrations. Maybe my communication skills will offset my lack of illustrating skills? I think I am a fairly good communicator, I guess you get to be the judge of that.It is my objective to present these things in a fun informative way. It contains information, examples, events, etc. which are useful to anyone. It contains detailed specifications, examples, and explanations of the principles behind many of the techniques being used, and more. I am not trying to present an all inclusive document about Ropes, Pulleys, Rigging Systems, and Dangerous Resultants, but rather, I have picked a good assortment of examples and details about the core components associated with Ropes, Pulleys, Rigging Systems and the Dangerous Resultants.Next, I have worked hard to present examples, information in a well communicated format, including quizzes, and minor tests to see how well I am able to communicate these things to you. It will also assist in remembering the "all important" principles associated with themThis book steps beyond just a casual approach and is aimed towards those who take a more serious approach, and those who prepare plans to use these thoughts to build, manufacturer, develop, rescue, and save lives. DO BE SURE TO STAY ALERT. As professionals, we must assume responsibility for our own safety, realizing what we do affects those around us.
