Gibbeting​

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Not to be confused with the Halifax Gibbet, a kind of guillotine.

The reconstructed gallows-style gibbet at Caxton Gibbet, in Cambridgeshire, England

A gibbet (/ˈdʒɪbɪt/) is any instrument of public execution (including guillotine, executioner's block, impalement stake, hanging gallows, or related scaffold). Gibbeting is the use of a gallows-type structure from which the dead or dying bodies of criminals were hanged on public display to deter other existing or potential criminals. Occasionally, the gibbet was also used as a method of execution, with the criminal being left to die of exposure, thirst and/or starvation.[1] The practice of placing a criminal on display within a gibbet[2] is also called "hanging in chains".[3]

Gibbeting was a common law punishment, which a judge could impose in addition to execution. As a sentence for murder, this practice was codified in England by the Murder Act 1751. It was most often used for traitors, robbers, murderers, highwaymen, and pirates and was intended to discourage others from committing similar offenses. The structures were therefore often placed next to public highways (frequently at crossroads) and waterways.

Exhibiting a body could backfire against a monarch, especially if the monarch was unpopular. The rebels Henry of Montfort and Henry of Wylynton, enemies of Edward II, were drawn and hanged before being exhibited on a gibbet near Bristol. However, the people made relics of these bloody and mutilated remains out of respect and later used the relics in violent protest. Miracles were even reported at the spot where the bodies were hanging.[4]

Although the intention was deterrence, the public response was complex. Samuel Pepys expressed disgust at the practice. There was Christian objection that prosecution of criminals should end with their death. The sight and smell of decaying corpses was offensive and regarded as "pestilential", so it was seen as a threat to public health.

This was fun

Will it run after 80 plus years 1926 Mack model AB truck​

Will this 1926 Mack model AB run after sitting for over 80 years. This truck has a 471 cubic inch four-cylinder engine. this truck was more than likely used as a log truck or as a wrecker or maybe as a semi truck to pull trailers out of the woods 80 years ago when it was running the roads The truck still has Goodyear tires from the 1930s on it to be back on the road. This truck will need the transmission cleaned and put back together and water pump seals and a few other things but for the first time in 80+ years we got this old truck running and I got to say runs pretty good for setting that long

The Clever Engineering Of Piston Rings​

This video explores the evolution and engineering marvels of these small but crucial components that have shaped the history of motorized transportation. We begin our journey in the mid-1800s with the first internal combustion engines, tracing the development of piston rings from their humble origins in steam engines to the high-tech marvels used in modern Formula 1 racing. Whether you're a car enthusiast, an engineering student, or simply curious about how things work, this deep dive into piston ring technology will give you a new appreciation for the clever engineering behind these small but critical components that have been quietly revolutionizing engines for over a century.

Key topics covered:
1. Early piston designs and sealing challenges
2. The invention of the split-ring seal by John Ramsbottom
3. Evolution of piston ring profiles: Rectangular, taper, bevel, and Napier rings
4. The introduction and importance of oil control rings
5. Materials science: From cast iron to advanced steel alloys
6. Cutting-edge coatings: Chrome, molybdenum, and diamond
7. The extreme engineering of Formula 1 piston rings

Learn how these seemingly simple components tackle complex challenges:
- Sealing combustion gases at pressures exceeding 300 bar
- Managing temperatures that would melt conventional materials
- Reducing friction to improve engine efficiency
- Controlling oil consumption and emissions

Discover the intricate balance of properties that make piston rings work:
- Tangential tension and specific contact pressure
- Radial pressure distribution and gas pressure metering
- The critical role of ring profiles in gas sealing and oil control

We'll explore how modern engineering pushes the limits of piston ring design:
- Ultra-thin rings measuring just 0.5-0.7mm in Formula 1 engines
- Advanced coatings like Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) and chrome-ceramics
- The trade-offs between performance, efficiency, and longevity in consumer vehicles

Dave Crockett's Footage from May 18th 1980 (uncut)​

A Trip Back to Hell on Earth​

Minute by Minute: The Eruption of Mount St. Helens​

A few years ago, to mark the 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, I visited the mountain with David Crockett , a man who saw things and did things on May 18, 1980, that still send shivers up a person's back. Very few human beings on this planet have a story to tell like David's, and I'm forever thankful to him for sharing his with me. Take a few minutes and re-visit the day St. Helens blew, with a man who stared into the fury and lived to talk about it. KOMO's Doug Pigsley shot this story. Joe Wren edited it. David Crockett LIVED it.
