Heyooo

I was wondering what Sanani and Nisshoku's lower parts look like (and maybe how they function too)?

Their anatomy is actually kind of horrifying. So I'm more then happy to talk about it because I spent too much time trying to figure out a way that it could work.

First and most important point- Skin is an organ. Just keep that in the back of your head.

Both Sanani and Nisshoku have a mixture of flesh and metal/mechanical organs.

Sanani has a flesh esophagus [covered in a sheath of thin muscles and skin] but the folded opening isn't connected to his mouth. It's just inside the hole where his neck pipe comes out of his casing. The top of it can stay closed like a pair of lips. The flesh part of his body consists of this tube [sitting between some soft silicone clamps to keep it in place.] A stomach, intestines, and an anus that functions like a cloaca. [Urine and feces come out the same hole like a chicken.]

The only place his organic parts are connected directly to his metal parts is on his crotch/rear area. The metal edge is a micro mesh. Pressed up against that is a layer of bone that's shaped to fit the hole. [So the bone is effectively grafted to the metal.] The thin edge of the bone that's exposed to air has a layer of enamel like a tooth to protect it from direct air contact. And the flesh that's touching that is like a circular gum line with a thin lip of skin to keep it moist. His anus is pretty human standard, it's just sitting inside an open ring of metal between his hips. [Think of the head of a drum.] The intestines are bunched up behind it with the stomach on top.

His cock is fully silicone and not on a rocker behind a plate like Solar or Sun. It's on a hinge so that he can snap it sideways into a long divot on his torso. This way it's not interfering with his organs. He can't pee from it, it just has a tube for whatever lubricant he's loaded as cum into the usual small bottle. The bottle is set high on the inside of his chest cavity. [It's more inside the inner surface of a butt cheek for the others, hence why it can be hard to refill without help.]

His organs are contained inside of a bag of living skin that's sitting at the bottom of his casing. He doesn't have a lower plate separating his crotch from the inside of his chest like the normal DCA models.

He does have his own nanos that tear up anything he puts in his mouth and ant trail anything organic down into his esophagus. His neck pipe has a tiny rubber tube inside for this purpose. [It's like you'd use for a aquarium pump.] The nanos also maintain the sack of organs by keeping the skin oxygenated and moisturized. His heart is mechanical and his internal motor can take a mix of electricity and biofuel extracted from normal food. His lungs are effectively a pair of bellows that can blow out his interior and vent anything loose inside. This is so he can get rid of the dead skin cells shed off his organ bag.

Nisshoku is a tad more complex since his body was shaped by wild magick in addition to what Golden Freddy made possible. His five crotch tentacles are a hydraulic mechanisim using carbonated oil in place of blood to move and extend them. They're mostly all the same length with the longest about 7 inches and each somewhat bigger around then a finger. They aren't prehensile but he does have some basic movement control. [Think non-dominant hand level dexterity.] Nisshoku can deliberately exude oil/lubricant [whatever is loaded] from the tips of tentacles. He has a mechanical heart with fluids in addition to the same nano and gut arrangement as Sanani.

If he wants to impregnate Sanani all he needs to do is trigger a group of his nanos to a different set of instructions. They'll copy his current personality coding and some physical appearance traits, and all the the info for how his body is set up.

He can then ejaculate them into his partner.

The tainted nanos would then mix with Sanani's native ones and get the same info from them to create a blended profile of both. They'd then parasite his body for consumed metal and organic material, make a new bag of skin to contain the new body and start building a small bio-mechanical anamatronic similar to both of them inside of his chest cavity. How long it takes to construct is highly dependent on how much food and metal he's willing to eat to hurry it along.

Trying to slow it by starving himself would be painful because the nanos would attack his guts and frame for materials instead. Nisshoku has full control of how many babies the nanos will construct as well. Any more then three could be extremely dangerous for the host.

SET TEN - ROUND ONE - MATCH FOUR

"D.I.Y. by John Wiswell" (2023 - J Yang) / "The Tragedy" (1903 - Pablo Picasso)

D.I.Y. BY JOHN WISWELL: [no additional commentary] (anonymous)

THE TRAGEDY: I was lucky enough to see it in person in D.C and I STARED at it for hours. It is one of the first art pieces that truly engaged me. Look at the depth of color in this!! There are layers and layers, scratched off and blended and mixing together. It’s blackened around the edges and in flecks across the canvas like an old photograph. This intensely emotional, impressionistic, virtuosic use of color, contrasted with thick black lines defining the people? Drives me UP THE WALL. Everybody has a foot out like it’s some macabre camp song, but only the child’s hands are visible, like they’re trying to fix something, the heaviness of which they can sense, but that they mostly comprehend as the fact that the adults are upset. PLUS the two figures on the right are both very Grecio-Roman faces, intensely shadowed, while you can SEE cubism creeping in on the woman’s face?! And the background is just three blocks of color but again they’re so varied and MOODY and evocative. This painting makes me need to vibrate at high frequencies and be crushed by a hydraulic press (@green-cargaytions)

("D.I.Y. by John Wiswell" is a piece commissioned by Tor.com for a piece of original fiction. It was done by J Yang, a queer Asian-American artist.

"The Tragedy" is an oil on wood painting by Pablo Picasso during his Blue Period. It measures 105 × 69 cm (41.3 × 27.2 in) and is held at the National Gallery of Art.)

Bad Batch Headcanons - Skin Conditions

I’ve had this on my mind for way too long now and I NEED to write it down.

For context: I think that their mutations and “enhancements” had some side effects and actually made them more sensitive or gave them some other issues, this is one of many. Maybe Regs have to deal with this too, but I’m running with the Bad Batch for now.

TW: skin conditions, acne, eczema, a little blood? self-harm and injury

Hunter

first of all - he has like the most sensitive skin ever

I’m talking unscented, only natural ingredients, ph-neutral, everything you can imagine

soap made from ash, lime and oil, like, really specific and gentle shit

but on the other hand worst mixed skin ever, goes from crazy oily to dryer than Tatooine at least once a week

he’s either looking like a glazed donut or a shedding lizard

he’d straight up put cooking oil on his face bc “oil is good for dry skin, right?

someone tell this man how to take care of himself istg

bandana hides his greasy roots

bandana may be tied in different styles to hide his dandruff

he‘s highkey insecure about it

he‘s shedding like a dog, his hair is everywhere

in the shower, on the bed sheets, in the food if he cooks

if he ever shaves, doesn’t matter where or how he’s getting the worst razor burn and ingrown hairs ever

he’s getting all the issues

also, a big candidate for body acne?

he gives me back acne vibes

doesn’t wash his bedsheets or towel nearly often enough

they actually all (accidentally?) share a towel and never wash it, I’m convinced

Tech

his skin is dry af like, eczema / neurodermitis / psoriasis dry

especially his hands and joints, like the inside of knees and elbows

and around his eyes, especially because of his goggles/glasses, but also in the corners

he researched everything but sometimes just can’t help it and almost scratches his skin off

Hunter makes him wear cotton gloves when he goes to bed

that’s why he never sleeps

Crosshair straight up ties his hands with bandages so he can’t scratch himself

also a very dry scalp / dandruff candidate

should spend all of his time moisturising

tinkering around the marauder and getting into contact with motor oils/hydraulic liquids/fuel only makes it so so so much worse

doesn't wear skin protection, especially not gloves because it 'inhabits his motor functions'

don't get me started on his nails and nailbeds, because I can see how inflamed and irritated the skin is

the skin also peels off

sweaty hands

has a lot of moles?

stresses about said moles

Wrecker

has the nicest skin ever

except for a big pore / blackhead here and there

usually around the nose or on his forehead

literally the guy who either doesn't use soap or uses the same bar of soap to wash everything

it works

healthy glow might be mistaken for oily skin but it's actually not

actually gets a sunburn often, especially on his head, but refuses to do anything about it

turns into a lobster on uv-light-intense missions

red skin, really tight and shiny

sometimes, if crosshair is feeling really mean he gives him a brotherly slap on the sunburnt shoulder

he gets mouth sores sometimes, like cold sores?

also very attractive to mosquitos? he sweats a lot

scratches his mosquito bites so there are little scars all over his body

really random but occasionally he gets like one big aggressive butt pimple and can't sit for a few days

is very vocal about said butt pimple

Crosshair

my beloved

he's also getting all the issues

had very bad acne as a cadet

especially around his chin and cheeks to the point he straight up refused to take off his helmet

now that he's done with puberty he has a bunch of acne scars left

still breaks out sometimes

very sensitive to water - he just washes his face like usual and suddenly breaks out because that particular planet's water is 'weird'

so much acne but dry af skin, it's hard to combat

skin picking as self harm

aggressive nail biter; not only the nails but the skin around it

he's actually one big hangnail

and his nailbeds and sides are always inflamed

toothpicks to stop him from picking his skin

or to try to stop him from smoking but this is not a mental health / addiction headcanon

I'm convinced he has the ugliest, driest old man elbows and knees, I just know that they look weird

Echo

technically a reg, I know

but his prosthetics sometimes don't sit right, so there's a lot of friction and a high risk of irritated skin, blisters and sores

he's so pale - not surprised at all if he gets sunburnt quickly

reminds everyone to use lotion / sunscreen

learned the hard way bc he listened to Fives

tries to keep everyone from making stupid mistakes

buir mode activated

Omega

baby

baby skin

for now

Echo attempts to keep her in check

gets one really bad sunburn and learns her lesson

can't move for 3 business days

also, not a skin condition but she spends 5 seconds in direct sunlight and is just covered in freckles

have this wip of a freud/621 pwp where they're fighting while they're fucking you're welcome (this wip is mostly sfw)

Freud was on the hunt. 

The heavy footfalls of his steel-capped boots echoed loudly as he prowled through the dimly lit storage facility for the Vesper’s main base of operations in Belius, the towering stacks of shipping containers and crates creating an angular maze with plenty of dead-ends and blind spots. His only source of light was his flashlight that normally hung from his toolbelt when he wasn’t in his piloting rig - after all, if he wasn’t piloting, he was doing mechanical work on LOCKSMITH. 

Or hunting his favourite playmate. 

Belius was in its night cycle, and most good little pilots like Pater were in their bunk, snoring away. But their newest and most difficult member? V.VII Raven was scurrying around after hours, throwing up the figurative middle finger at his enforced curfew despite Snail’s teeth-gritted demands for him to adhere to Vesper hierarchy. 

If it were anyone else, Raven would’ve been tossed headfirst into re-education until his surprising rebelliousness had been stamped out, but fortunately for him, Freud intervened on his behalf. He liked Raven as he was: feral, vicious, always looking minutes away from ripping out his throat with his teeth - and as V.I, he overruled V.II’s increasingly strained suggestion to bring that mutt to heel.

Like hell. Freud was letting this beast run loose for the fun of it. It was Snail’s own fault if he kept letting himself get bitten. 

(He wasn’t even being figurative about it. Since capturing Raven and browbeating him into uneasy compliance by holding Walter’s life over his head, Snail had been bitten by Raven on four separate occasions, the last almost resulting in a lost thumb. To be honest, Freud was pretty certain Snail deserved it in some way. You’d think he’d learn to stay away after the first time, let alone the third.)

While Raven was obedient in terms of carrying out Vesper missions flawlessly, outside of the cockpit he was an agent of surly chaos. Freud thought it cute, though, and he always enjoyed these little games of theirs. After all, there was a reason why Freud was in the storage facility after hours, wandering around this faux maze with nothing but a little flashlight lighting his way… 

“Raven~” Freud called in a teasing lilt. “I know you’re here. You didn’t cover up your trail very well…”

A trail that Freud could see crystal clear beneath the glare of his flashlight. Small boot prints tracked across the concrete floor, an oily sheen to them: because it was an oil, and probably a mix of lubricant and other fluids required for effective AC functioning. Freud had tracked this trail from LOCKSMITH’s sabotaged hydraulics and fuel system all the way to this storage facility, more amused than annoyed about the damage to his AC. 

It was an easy fix, barely a few hours of work. Besides, the aim wasn’t to sabotage LOCKSMITH, it was to catch Freud’s attention. 

He followed the dwindling boot prints until he came to a dead-end… at a glance. He scanned the towering containers, just in case Raven was lying in wait for him up there (happened last time, where the little bastard had jumped on Freud like a rabid monkey and tried strangling him), but there was nothing he could see. However, the dead-end was a wall, and that wall had a ventilation opening, just big enough for someone as small and scrawny as Raven to slither into. 

Said ventilation opening had its grate removed too. 

“Really,” Freud sighed, kneeling down in front of it and shining his torch up there. “How am I meant to fit in there…” 

He could probably squeeze in and have enough space to crawl, but he’d be damned if he encountered a sharp corner. He wasn’t that flexible, and unlike the augmented assholes in the Vespers, Freud was beholden to the march of time. He was in his late thirties, and his joints weren’t as bendy as they used to be. Though, maybe he could-

“Ngh!”

-a sudden weight rammed into his back, and it was only his quick reflexes that stopped him from braining himself against the edge of the ventilation duct. He frantically slammed his forearm against the wall, and pushed back, landing hard on whoever had body slammed into him and hearing that familiar, wheezy grunt of Raven having all the air squashed out of his lungs. It was a very distinct noise.

Cheeky little- he ambushed him!

Grinning ferally, Freud twisted around and tried to get Raven into a headlock, but the smaller mercenary was as slippery as an eel. He dropped his flashlight during the fray, a stray kick sending it spinning and half-blinding him as he wrestled with Raven in the dark. The merc didn’t hold back his punches at all - literally. Freud had to bite back a grunt of pain when Raven full on slugged him in the chest, clearly going for the solar plexus and narrowly missing it - but it left him open in exchange. 

Freud grabbed his arm and twisted it violently, Raven letting out a strained, gasping snarl of pain, and slammed the mercenary face down on the floor. Raven thrashed and squirmed underneath him, even trying to twist around to bite him, but with his arm firmly held against his back, he wasn’t going anywhere. 

Freud was the victor, and he took his rightful throne of sitting on the back of Raven’s thighs as a result. 

“Well…” he panted, winded from that punch. Even if it missed his solar plexus, it still knocked the air out of him, damn. “You got me good for a second there, scavenger bird.” 

Raven hissed at him like a cat. 

“You were hoping to concuss me, hm?” Freud murmured, his blood still running hot but not quite clouding his mind as he thought back to that whole exchange. It would’ve worked. If Freud hadn’t been so quick on his reflexes, he would’ve smashed face first into the wall, leaving him disorientated. Raven would’ve capitalised on that, and…

But, it didn’t quite work out like that. Freud had been that little bit faster, but the ambush had still been pretty good. Freud got a little too complacent. 

“Looks like I won, though.” Freud shifted his weight and, still keeping Raven’s arm twisted behind his back, pressed his body in close, so he could murmur into his ear: “That means I get to decide the penalty.”

Raven didn’t respond or move. His free arm was slightly extended past his shoulders, and the narrow beam of his flashlight shone directly onto his scarred fingers. They were twitching slightly, like Raven was fighting down some sort of response, and Freud couldn’t help but smile. Down but not beaten… if Freud wasn’t careful, Raven might try going for the eyes again. 

Keeping his heavy-lidded gaze on Raven’s twitching fingers, he nosed his dark, half-curled hair before gently biting his ear. The mercenary flinched beneath him, and Freud pressed his half-hard erection against the firm swell of Raven’s ass, grinding languidly. 

Raven’s twitching fingers curled into a loose fist.

Outsider pt 1 (3/19)

Outsider Series

3. Strange Weather

The odor of motor oil mixed with gasoline and hydraulic fluid coaxed him awake.

Heavy lids fluttered open under dirty strains of hair. His head hung at a neck breaking angle, it throbbed at the temple when jerked to lift it. Fragments of his memory flickered, dull images of violence floated in and out of focus. She was there, the face of a woman-scared and hunted, but there none the less. Black hair surrounded a brown angelic face, a mouth stretched in pain, and tears-so many tears.

His thoughts were interrupted by the distant beating of helicopter blades that reverberated around. The sound derailed any effort he was making at rebuilding the last few hours. He shifted his weight to the left to ease the ache in his ribs, he pulled at his arm but nothing gave.

Bucky turned his head toward a large machine where his metal arm laid trapped in a vice.

“Hey Cap!” The voice of a man called out.

Bucky heard the footfalls of two men coming toward him as he slowly shifted up his body. The tall dark figure of a man, Sam Wilson, approached first, but his eyes slid to the man he knew to be his friend.

“Steve.” He croaked.

America’s soldier took tentative steps toward him.

“Which Bucky am I talking to?” He demanded.

“Your mom’s name was Sarah.”

He caught the memory that swirled into his mind of Steve before the serum. He could still see the skinny young man as he was, determined.

“You use to stuff newspaper in your shoes.” He chuckled, the sensation nearly felt foreign to him as it slipped out with the memory.

“You can’t read that in a museum.” Relieved, Steve allowed this small victory.

“Just like that we’re supposed to be cool?” Sam said bluntly.

Bucky knew the answer before he asked as to how he got out of the JTC. Same as it always was.

Fighting.

“What did I do?”

“Enough.” said Steve.

“Oh god, I knew this would happen. Everything Hydra put inside is still there. All he had to do was say the god damn words.”

There was a time in his life where his mere presence baited attention from the room. With jazz in his step and that supple cool gaze he absorbed the admiration. A magnetic charming personality seeped from a young vibrant smile. His eyes dazzled and usurped the will of both men and women alike when he glanced at them. He was a man’s man, a woman’s best dream, and he found himself effortlessly loving it.

He once had dreams of being a top savvy business man who traveled, hell, maybe even an artist. As a young man, he spent his time on the outskirts of social circles. He liked to dip in and sneak out, taking only what he needed from them in the end. Leaving his soul fed with a reality of his making.

The dreams of the present, those damn dreams. They peppered his mind with scenes of madness. Eliciting dark fantasies of stripping freedom from people where he had none. The dark visions insisted violence where he wanted nothing more than peace. But he allowed them to sustain the deep sorrow. anyway.  It meant he was alive at least. Though peace of mind never looked so good and at the same time never looked so far away as it did in the medical facility in Wakanda.

“I can’t trust my own mind.”

The memories would have to quiet now. Sleep was coming, a deep agitated slumber to ease the brutality of his actions into a dreamless hibernation.

“I think going back under is the best thing. For everybody.”

But he could fall asleep to visions of her. The one he had stolen her sense of safety from. He could see pieces of the moment now if he thought on it long enough. 

And he did in the few days since Siberia. When he had ripped her happiness away. He wouldn’t wish those images on his worst enemy. In these last few minutes before going under he could give it back though. 

In his own way, under his own control he could alter that moment in his mind. Maybe in a way his soul could be forgiven for his actions. So Bucky imaged a better outcome for her and him. One where she wasn’t terrified and where he could see a smile instead of that heartbreaking frown of horror.

He had been thinking about her long before this moment occurred. Rehashing and pasting together what happened piece by fragile piece. And it had alarmed him at first when he caught on to the obsession of remembering. But he never was very good at keeping up with the morals of others. It was no use trying to live up to their ideals, anyway. Except to gauge where he could lose himself in the in between of their structured ethics and values. He had nothing to lose.

He lay back in the pod, taking slow deep breaths, and the sounds of clicking and prodding were ignored. He didn’t mind it. And he did not let it become a nuisance to the image he saw behind his eyes lids.

Her heart was full of happiness. The love he felt when he gazed at those chestnut colored eyes of hers was immeasurable. What a pretty girl. It was like looking at a piece of him that had long been lost to time and torture. She lived free and untamed who, like him, was in touch with her desires for stability but appreciated the fresh and unseen. And he knew that he only had to ask her to follow him. Together they could chase freedom. But he watched her smile in his dream, a smothering goodness radiated from bright loving eyes. She was a work of art that emitted serenity and security, the person he wished he was now. Hair the color of black jade tickled his palms as she leaned into him.

She wasn’t scared of him.

She was his home for now.

She sustained him.

He would let this beautiful dream take him as he felt the broken parts of his mind shut down.

Heron by Carl Olsson

Arrangement

Heron of Alexandria invented a mechanical theatre. 1900 years later, I have created a hydraulic successor and with it I have given Heron over to his torture. 

In short, I have arranged a device for the compression of birds.

There is in this machine a relative of the egret. Every time I peer into my garden, I see the retracted neck atop its pedestal. 

According to the instructions that should have been passed down from Heron (but were not), to arrange an automatic theatre one needs a tight latex suit and a ball gag – one with repurposed breathing holes.

Heron never managed to write this, but I can write it now:

Let there be wine and white milk spurting out of the beak and mix in a pool below for others to ingest.

This takes place as follows: Two small pipes are attached beneath the bird’s feet, protruding from two holes in the surface of the pedestal. Let the pipes extend upward, past the folded legs, into the latex integument and through the cavities of the bird with their openings attached to inward face of the ball. Wine and milk is pressured through these pipes to pour out of the gaping beak.

The automaton takes is driven by the movements of the body inside the latex integument whose energy it harnesses to power the action of a pump.

About the movement of the theatre, Heron should have written that the pedestal slides back and forth on a rail, pulled by knotted ropes drenched in oil. And I say now in addition, let the inside of the latex integument also be covered in a generous amount of oil. That is, behind the latex there is a need for lubrication, though I must add that it should never be so much as to spill behind the gag, for that is the domain of the two pipes that exude wine and white milk and it may not be contaminated by any other liquids. The innermost space must thus be parched aside from wine and white milk (one might devise a motorized pump to extract bodily effluvia in the opposite direction (these are to be discarded and never seen by any audience)).

Against an arrangement such as the one described here the first threat is a rapid expansion of the compressed state. Although the relative of the egret has come to enjoy its situation with time (or has at least accepted it), until then the threat of uncontrolled expansion remained very serious. To avoid it, I used to stand for a time in the garden and examine my hydraulic display on a daily basis. I still polish its exterior and add oil when it is needed but with far less urgency. That way, the arrangement can be maintained for a long time and I will not grow bored of its appearance.

Principles of sympathetic torture

Heron of Alexandria was a first-century mathematician, inventor and the author of numerous technical manuscripts including two treatises on the construction of automata. An automaton in the relevant sense is a mechanical imitation of life. Ancient and medieval automata were spectacular instruments of wonder, built to bedazzle foreign envoys and royalty.

My hydraulic Heron owes its existence to a German by the name of Moritz Schreber. In the middle of the 19th century, Schreber brought the history of automata to its virtual termination by creating various contraptions that reduced human children to little engines. His machines were built to be moved by children and to move the children in turn. Whereas an automaton mimics life, life now came to mimic the machine. So rather than remedying newborn bodies maligned by the overcrowded cities of the industrial age, which was Schreber’s official motivation for building his contraptions, he unwittingly short-circuited the distinction between animal and machine by giving purposeless labor its proper purpose in augmenting purposelessness. The history of the automaton really ends at the modern gym, where it becomes a tributary to the history of corporeal punishment or gratuitous torture. 

A still unmentioned fact is that the arrangement with the relative of the egret described above was recorded with a hundred chameleons attached to the surrounding walls with duct tape. I did not mention it because such pictures never last for long and for fear of compromising the secrecy that is absolutely indispensable for constructing automata today.

But now that it is done and Truth has fallen on the history of Heron’s mechanical theatre, I can divulge its essential principles with perfect clarity.

The first principle completes the history of automata by inverting it, turning it back against life. The mechanical theatre with the hydraulic Heron is more than an image of life, it is life broken into an image of life as it reaches the high-point of second-order mimicry. Schreber, on his part, went just this far.

The second principle is shared with sympathetic magic.

Belief in magic is not required to appreciate the hydraulic Heron. On the contrary, it is magic which relies on the affinity of apophenia and the psyche, the innate tendency to believe that an image and its likeness really belong together.

Today no one can believe in the psyche, in consciousness, in magic or in anything like that.

All that remains after these ghosts were eliminated from our shared vocabulary are the formal rules of correspondence and association, capable of cutting across time. These rules are real.

This is to say

That

The first principle operates through the second principle;

That

The history of the automaton is completed through an inversion that mimics the mimesis of life in the sense that it reenacts, and therefore undercuts, the act of connecting Like to Like.

A Motorized Bicycle Parts Explained - Anatomy Of A Motor For A Bicycle

The components of a motorbike work together to create a bicycle capable of providing efficient transportation over short to medium distances. This article's goal is to educate readers who are unfamiliar with a motorized bicycle about each component's function. Motor for a bicycle is a two-wheeled vehicle equipped with an engine that provides propulsion. Let's explore its anatomy in more detail.

Frame: The frame forms the backbone of the motor for bicycle, providing structural support and housing for other components. It is typically made of steel or aluminum and is designed to withstand the forces and vibrations generated during operation.

Engine: The engine is the heart of the motor bike, generating power to propel the vehicle. It can be either a two-stroke or four-stroke internal combustion engine. Two-stroke engines are simpler and lighter but require a mixture of fuel and oil. Four-stroke engines are more complex but offer better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

Fuel Tank: The fuel tank stores the gasoline or fuel mixture required to power the engine. It is usually located in the front or center of the frame, and its capacity can vary depending on the design of the motorized bicycle.

Carburetor: The carburetor is responsible for mixing the fuel and air in the correct ratio before it enters the engine for combustion. It regulates the fuel flow based on the throttle position, ensuring optimal engine performance.

Exhaust System: The exhaust system consists of a series of pipes and a muffler that expels the burnt gases produced during the combustion process. It helps reduce engine noise and directs the exhaust gases away from the rider.

Transmission: Motor for a bicycle typically uses a chain or belt drive system to transmit power from the engine to the rear wheel. The transmission may include a gearbox with multiple gears to provide different speed options.

Clutch: The clutch allows for smooth engagement and disengagement of power between the engine and the transmission. When the clutch lever is pulled, it disengages the engine from the transmission, enabling the rider to change gears or come to a stop without stalling the engine.

Throttle: The throttle is a control mechanism that regulates the engine speed and power output. By twisting the throttle grip, the rider can increase or decrease the amount of fuel and air entering the engine, thus controlling the vehicle's acceleration.

Brakes: These are equipped with brakes to slow down or stop the vehicle. The most common types of brakes used are drum brakes or disc brakes. Drum brakes consist of a brake shoe that presses against the inside of a drum attached to the wheel, while disc brakes use a caliper and brake pads to clamp down on a disc attached to the wheel.

Wheels and Tires: Motorized bicycles typically have two wheels, each equipped with a tire for traction and shock absorption. The wheels can be made of steel or aluminum, and the tires vary depending on the intended use of the motor for a bicycle, with options for on-road or off-road riding.

Suspension: Suspension systems are used to absorb shocks and provide a more comfortable ride. These often feature suspension forks in the front and either spring-based or hydraulic shocks in the rear. These components help to smooth out bumps and uneven terrain.

Lighting: To ensure visibility and safety, motor bikes are equipped with lighting systems. This includes headlights, taillights, and turn signals. These lights can be powered by the electrical system of the motorized bicycle or, in some cases, by a small battery.

Controls and Instruments: These have various controls and instruments to provide essential information to the rider. This includes handlebar-mounted controls for the throttle, clutch, brakes, and lights. Instruments such as a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge may also be present to keep the rider informed about the vehicle's performance and status.

Display: These days, almost all bike kits and complete bikes come with a rather complex display computer that serves as a dashboard for monitoring operations. From the early days of e-bikes, when the majority of systems only had a few LEDs to display the battery level, this is a wonderful improvement. 

Kickstand: A kickstand is a small mechanism attached to the frame that allows the motor for a bicycle to be parked and supported in an upright position when not in use. It provides convenience and stability when the rider needs to park the vehicle.

These are the primary components that make up the anatomy of a motorized bicycle. By combining these elements, motor for bicycle provide an efficient and convenient mode of transportation for short to medium distances, offering riders the benefits of both a bicycle and a motorized vehicle.

The main features are compact installation, easy use, the same calibration medium, strong movement ability, and the ability to provide hydraulic oil. The working mode of the liquid flow controller is as follows: match through quick connection and replacement, and lead the hydraulic hose into the displaced liquid flow controller calibration device; The hydraulic power converter of the investment department generates clean and stable liquid flow through the hydraulic pump, hydraulic filter, etc. Capture the cumulative flow value determined by the computer system using the calibrated flowmeter and the standard flowmeter, and capture the temperature and pressure on the calibrated flowmeter and the standard flowmeter; The measured value error of calibrated flow is determined by the computer software system. Main characteristics and application of common liquid flowmeter Volumetric flowmeter Volumetric flow meters (also called volume-specific flow values) are general-purpose instruments with the highest accuracy. The measured components can also be divided into the following main features: pitch circle (two rotors), plate flow measurement, oval gear flow measurement, rotary piston flow measurement, circulation flow measurement, etc.

① Advantages: high measurement accuracy; It can be used for measuring high viscosity fluid and simple phase fluid; The instrument does not need external energy to directly record the total flow. It is easy to install without special requirements for front and rear tangent lines. ② Disadvantages: not suitable for high temperature and low temperature; Type of measuring center with limited diameter; Pressure drop; Periodic calibration is required. ③ Application: Volume traffic signs, due to their high-precision measurement in energy, petroleum, medicine, food, chemistry, and other fields, especially raw materials and other fields, must be measured for storage, transfer, and distribution, and used as the basis for a financial settlement, or as a legal indicator of the contract between two tax dealers.

Differential The differential is one of the most commonly used flowmeter types, which can be divided into diverter flowmeter, Venturi flowmeter, average line current, etc. according to the test piece (inlet instrument). The main features are: ① Advantages: single-phase fluid has a wide range of measurement methods, some mixed fluids; Simple structure, easy maintenance, the long service life of control components and detonators, display equipment produced by different manufacturers, improving economies of scale. ② Disadvantages: general customization accuracy; Large pressure loss (orifice plate, nozzle, etc.) The assembly constraint shall be high, and there shall be enough straight pipelines before and after assembly. ③ Nozzle: When measuring the flow in the closed pipe for the first time, the differential can be used for projects under different conditions where the flow is about 1/4-1/3 of the total flow. Ultrasonic assistance The ultrasonic flowmeter can be generally divided into plug-in type, pipe section type, external clamp type, and portable type. ① Advantages: large diameter non-contact measurement, large flow calculation; Pressure loss, no fluid disturbance; Suitable for every liquid, easy to install and maintain. ② Disadvantages: When the measured liquid contains bubbles or noise, the measurement accuracy will be affected; The temperature range of the measured liquid is limited by the heat of the ultrasonic protection and the communication materials between the switch and the line, and the original data for measuring the high temperature of the liquid is incomplete. ③ Application: Ultrasonic velocimeter is often used in petroleum, chemistry, metal, electric power, and other fields, and is often used to measure the emission reduction of gas pipelines in factories, fluids, and work areas.

Turbine speed Intel Remax accelerated technology plan has been expanded to multiple categories in mass production, and its main features are as follows: ① High precision, usually ± 0.25% r - ± 0.5% r, up to ± 0.25% r - ± 0.5% r; Repeat at most 0.05% r-0.2% r for a short time; Zero contact movement, sturdy and durable. ② Disadvantages: The physical characteristics of the liquid have a great influence on the flow characteristics; Calibration characteristics cannot be saved for a long time. ③ Application.

Types of water contamination in oil

In our last #knowyouroil segment, we had discussed about Particle Contamination and its effect on the life of rotating parts. Companies spend a lot of money on installing filtration units to counter particle contamination but never take preventive measures towards water contamination. Water is a worse and silent killer for the life of machinery as it slowly degrades the oil properties and one only gets to know about it when the machine fails pre-maturely.

In this article, we will try to understand the basics of Water Contamination. We will also try to answer the following questions.

1. What water does to oil properties?

2. Can we see water contamination as soon as it starts?

3. What to do if our oil is contaminated?

To check your machine's, follow: https://www.linkedin.com/company/minimacsystemsprivatetlimited

There are three phases in which water can exist in oil i.e. dissolved water, emulsified water, and free water.

Dissolved Water: It is characterized by individual water molecules dispersed throughout the oil. Water can remain in a dissolved state and hence difficult to understand the contamination at this stage.

Emulsified Water: When the oil gets saturated with water it starts to exist as a suspension in oil like microscopic droplets giving oil a milky appearance and is called emulsion.

Free Water: When the level of oil in water increases further it leads to separation of oil and water called Free water.

For a lubricant, the most important property is its viscosity. As the water starts to mix with lubricant it starts to alter the viscosity and hence impacts the film strength which is essential in maintaining equipment reliability by keeping moving parts away from each other. Water contamination also impacts the chemical properties of the base oil by acting as catalyst oxidation and aeration. This also leads to the appearance of sludge and varnish which leads to premature failure.

Water contamination also leads to Hydraulic Pump Cavitation in machines:

Pitting inside of the machine; as the water droplets burst under pressure and high temperature creating microfractures on the machine’s surface.

If you see the signs of water contamination in your oil, what should you do?

1. Not to change oil as changing oil is not the only option. This is because once the oil is drained the impurities still remain in the system until they are flushed. If new oil is introduced without cleaning the system it leads to contamination of the new oil leading to no change in the premature breakdown situation.

2. Flushing of the system

3. Check the internals of the system to check for any damage

4. Filter the new oil to ensure no moisture is available in the oil

5. Skip all four steps and call Minimac (+91 7030901266)

We at Minimac Systems Pvt Ltd. not only design a maintenance schedule for the lubrication oil but also provide OIL TESTING and FILTRATION services as per the ISO standard of Super Clean Oil. Minimac stands for MINImum MAChinery Maintenance.

3 Best Practices for Converting Waste Oil to Diesel Efficiently

In recent years, the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions has brought attention to innovative methods of recycling and repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste. One such method is converting waste oil into diesel, which not only addresses environmental concerns but also provides a cost-effective alternative fuel source. Waste oil, such as used motor oil and industrial lubricants, can be refined into diesel fuel through various processes, offering a cleaner and more sustainable option for industries and vehicles. However, to maximize efficiency and sustainability, it’s essential to follow best practices in the conversion process.

In this blog, we will explore three best practices for converting waste oil into diesel efficiently, helping you get the most out of this transformative process.

1. Implement Proper Collection and Storage Procedures

The first step in efficiently converting waste oil into diesel is ensuring that the waste oil is collected and stored properly. Poor handling of waste oil can lead to contamination, which makes the conversion process more difficult and less efficient. By following proper collection and storage procedures, you can ensure that the waste oil remains usable and that the diesel conversion process yields a high-quality fuel.

Best Collection Practices

Waste oil can come from various sources, including automotive garages, industrial plants, and even households. Implementing a structured collection system is crucial to avoid contamination with water, dirt, or other chemicals. When collecting waste oil:

Use Dedicated Containers: Waste oil should be collected in containers specifically designed for oil storage. These containers should be leak-proof and resistant to corrosion to prevent spills or contamination.

Label Containers Clearly: It’s important to clearly label containers with the type of oil being stored. This ensures that different types of waste oil, such as engine oil or hydraulic fluid, are not mixed. Mixing different types of oil can complicate the conversion process and reduce the quality of the resulting diesel fuel.

Avoid Water Contamination: Water is one of the most common contaminants in waste oil. Even small amounts of water can complicate the refining process. Therefore, it’s essential to store waste oil in sealed containers and keep it in a dry area to minimize exposure to moisture.

Best Storage Practices

After collection, proper storage of waste oil is critical to maintaining its integrity for conversion. Follow these storage best practices:

Keep Oil in a Temperature-Controlled Environment: Extreme temperatures can cause chemical changes in waste oil, making it harder to convert into diesel. Storing waste oil in a temperature-controlled environment will help maintain its quality.

Monitor Storage Conditions Regularly: Regularly check storage containers for signs of leakage, corrosion, or contamination. This ensures that the oil remains in good condition until it’s ready to be converted.

By implementing these collection and storage procedures, you can ensure that the waste oil you convert into diesel is free from contaminants, leading to a more efficient and successful conversion process.

2. Use Advanced Filtration and Pre-Treatment Techniques

The next best practice for converting waste oil into diesel efficiently involves using advanced filtration and pre-treatment techniques. Before waste oil can be processed into diesel, it needs to be filtered and treated to remove impurities. These impurities can include dirt, metal particles, water, and other contaminants that accumulate in the oil during its use. Removing these impurities is crucial for producing high-quality diesel fuel.

Filtration Techniques

Effective filtration is the cornerstone of preparing waste oil for diesel conversion. The goal of filtration is to remove solid particles and contaminants that could interfere with the refining process. Some commonly used filtration techniques include:

Centrifugal Filtration: A centrifuge separates impurities from waste oil by spinning it at high speeds. Heavier contaminants are forced to the outer edges of the centrifuge, while clean oil remains in the center. This method is highly efficient at removing solid particles and even some water.

Vacuum Filtration: In this method, waste oil is passed through a series of filters under a vacuum. This process removes water and other contaminants that may be dissolved in the oil. Vacuum filtration is especially effective for treating oils that contain significant amounts of water.

Fine Particle Filtration: Using filters with very small pores (usually in the range of microns) can help remove tiny solid contaminants. This step ensures that even the smallest particles are eliminated, resulting in cleaner oil for diesel conversion.

Pre-Treatment Methods

In addition to filtration, pre-treatment methods can further enhance the efficiency of waste oil conversion by addressing other impurities like chemical additives or oxidized oil components. Key pre-treatment methods include:

Dehydration: Removing water from waste oil is essential, as water can cause problems during the refining process. Heat dehydration involves heating the waste oil to evaporate any water present. In some cases, vacuum dehydration is used in combination with heat to remove water more effectively.

Chemical Additives: Certain chemical additives can be used to break down sludge and stabilize the oil before it enters the conversion process. These chemicals help improve the overall quality of the resulting diesel fuel.

By using advanced filtration and pre-treatment techniques, you can significantly improve the efficiency of the waste oil-to-diesel conversion process and ensure that the final product is of the highest quality.

3. Optimize the Conversion Process with Efficient Technology

The actual process of converting waste oil into diesel involves breaking down the molecular structure of the oil and refining it into a usable form of fuel. To maximize efficiency and output, it’s essential to use advanced technology and methods designed specifically for this purpose.

Choose the Right Conversion Technology

Several technologies can be used to convert waste oil into diesel, and choosing the right one is crucial for optimizing efficiency. Some of the most common methods include:

Pyrolysis: This method involves heating waste oil in the absence of oxygen, causing it to break down into smaller hydrocarbon chains that can be refined into diesel. Pyrolysis is highly efficient and produces minimal waste, making it a popular choice for large-scale waste oil conversion.

Hydrotreating: In this process, hydrogen is added to waste oil under high pressure to remove impurities such as sulfur and nitrogen. This method produces high-quality diesel fuel with fewer emissions, making it an environmentally friendly option.

Catalytic Cracking: Catalytic cracking uses a catalyst to speed up the chemical reactions that break down waste oil into diesel fuel. This process is known for its efficiency and ability to produce a high yield of diesel from a given amount of waste oil.

Monitor and Adjust Process Variables

Once you’ve chosen the appropriate conversion technology, it’s important to monitor key variables throughout the process to ensure optimal efficiency. Some critical variables to monitor include:

Temperature: The conversion process usually requires high temperatures to break down the waste oil molecules. Keeping the temperature at the optimal level ensures that the process proceeds efficiently without wasting energy.

Pressure: In certain methods like hydrotreating, maintaining the correct pressure is essential for removing impurities and achieving a high-quality fuel output.

Catalyst Performance: If using a catalytic conversion process, it’s important to regularly check the performance of the catalyst and replace it when necessary. A poorly performing catalyst can slow down the conversion process and reduce the quality of the diesel.

By using the latest conversion technology and carefully monitoring the process variables, you can maximize the efficiency of converting waste oil into diesel, resulting in a higher yield of clean, usable fuel.

Conclusion

Converting waste oil into diesel is not only an environmentally responsible practice, but it also offers significant economic and energy benefits. By following these three best practices—proper collection and storage, advanced filtration and pre-treatment, and optimizing the conversion process with efficient technology—you can ensure that the process runs smoothly and produces high-quality diesel fuel.

As the world continues to move beyond traditional energy sources and embraces more sustainable alternatives, companies like Veera Group are at the forefront of these innovations. By implementing these best practices and embracing cutting-edge technologies, we can make a positive impact on both the environment and the economy.

What Color Is Transmission Fluid? Understand the Signs

Ever found yourself staring under the hood, pondering, What color is transmission fluid? Well, you're not alone! This question pops up more often than you’d think, especially when car owners try to decipher what’s going on with their vehicles. If you’re like most folks, you probably know that transmission fluid plays a crucial role in keeping your car’s transmission system smooth and functional. But what does its color tell you? Can it be a warning sign? Buckle up, and let’s dive into the world of transmission fluids, their colors, and what they really mean for your vehicle!

The Role of Transmission Fluid

Before we zoom in on the colors, let's take a quick pit stop to understand what transmission fluid does. Your car’s transmission system is made up of various gears and moving parts that need to stay lubricated to function correctly. That’s where transmission fluid comes in. It lubricates, cools, and cleans the transmission, preventing overheating and ensuring a smooth gear shift.

Transmission fluid also acts as a hydraulic fluid, helping in power transmission. Without it, your car wouldn’t run efficiently, and you’d be dealing with a lot of costly repairs. So, you see, this fluid is quite the unsung hero under the hood!

The Colors of Transmission Fluid: What Do They Mean?

Now, let’s get to the heart of the matter—what color is transmission fluid? While it might seem like a trivial detail, the color of your transmission fluid can actually reveal a lot about your car’s health. Transmission fluid can appear in different shades depending on its condition, and it’s vital to know what each color signifies.

1. Bright Red: The Picture of Health

When transmission fluid is brand new or in excellent condition, it’s usually bright red. This vibrant hue indicates that the fluid is clean, effective, and doing its job well. If your transmission fluid is this color, there’s no need to worry! Everything’s working like a well-oiled machine—literally.

2. Dark Red or Light Brown: Time for a Change

As transmission fluid ages, it can start to change color, turning from bright red to a darker red or light brown. This shift typically happens as the fluid accumulates dirt and metal particles from the transmission, leading to reduced effectiveness.

When you notice this color change, it’s a good idea to check your car’s manual and consider a fluid change. Though it’s not an emergency, you don’t want to let it linger for too long. After all, nobody likes to gamble with their car’s health, right?

3. Brown: A Sign of Wear and Tear

If your transmission fluid is brown, it’s a clear sign that the fluid has been in use for quite some time. At this stage, the fluid is no longer providing optimal protection and lubrication for your transmission.

Brown fluid can also indicate that the fluid is oxidizing, which is something you definitely want to avoid. When transmission fluid oxidizes, it can lead to increased friction and wear on the transmission’s components. If you spot brown fluid, it’s time to act fast—get that fluid changed pronto!

4. Black: Danger Ahead!

Black transmission fluid is a red flag (or should we say, a black flag?). This color indicates that the fluid is severely degraded, possibly even burnt. It’s not lubricating the transmission components properly, and it could be causing serious damage to your transmission.

If you notice black transmission fluid, don’t hesitate—get your car to a mechanic immediately. Continuing to drive with black transmission fluid can lead to catastrophic transmission failure, which could leave you stranded and facing a hefty repair bill.

5. Milky or Pink: Beware of Water Contamination

Here’s where things get a little more concerning. If your transmission fluid appears milky or pink, it’s a sign that water or coolant has mixed with the fluid. This could be due to a leak in the transmission cooler or a crack in the transmission’s housing.

Water contamination can lead to serious transmission damage if not addressed quickly. The milky appearance is caused by the mixing of fluids, which dilutes the transmission fluid and reduces its effectiveness. In this case, it’s not just a fluid change you need—you might be looking at a more extensive repair.

When Should You Check Your Transmission Fluid?

Knowing the color of your transmission fluid is one thing, but you also need to know when and how to check it. Checking your transmission fluid regularly can help you spot potential issues before they become major problems. Here’s a simple guide to help you stay on top of things:

Check Regularly: Make it a habit to check your transmission fluid every month or so. It only takes a few minutes, but it can save you from a world of trouble down the road.

Warm Up Your Engine: Before checking the fluid, make sure your engine is warm. This gives you a more accurate reading of the fluid’s condition and level.

Use the Dipstick: Pop the hood, locate the transmission dipstick, and pull it out. Wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and then pull it out again to check the fluid’s color and level.

Consult Your Manual: Every car is a little different, so be sure to consult your owner’s manual for specific instructions on checking and changing your transmission fluid.

How to Change Transmission Fluid

Changing your transmission fluid might sound intimidating, but with the right tools and a little know-how, you can do it yourself! Here’s a quick rundown of the steps:

Gather Your Supplies: You’ll need a new transmission filter, a new gasket, a drain pan, a socket wrench, a funnel, and of course, the correct type of transmission fluid.

Drain the Old Fluid: Start by jacking up your car and securing it on jack stands. Place the drain pan underneath the transmission pan, then remove the bolts to let the old fluid drain out.

Replace the Filter and Gasket: Once the fluid is drained, remove the transmission pan and replace the old filter with a new one. Also, replace the gasket to ensure a tight seal when you reattach the pan.

Refill with New Fluid: Reattach the transmission pan, then use a funnel to pour the new transmission fluid into the fill tube. Be sure to add the correct amount—check your car’s manual for the exact capacity.

Check for Leaks: After refilling, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check under the car for any leaks, and recheck the fluid level with the dipstick.

Dispose of the Old Fluid Properly: Don’t forget to dispose of the old transmission fluid at a designated recycling center. Never pour it down the drain or into the environment!

Conclusion

Understanding What color is transmission fluid? isn’t just about satisfying your curiosity—it’s about ensuring your car runs smoothly and avoiding costly repairs. By regularly checking your transmission fluid and knowing what each color signifies, you can keep your vehicle in top shape. Remember, bright red is the goal, but if you spot any other colors, take action accordingly. So, next time someone asks you about transmission fluid colors, you’ll not only know the answer—you’ll be the go-to expert!

Create a Nonsmoking Workbench: Make sure your operating room is free of foreign substances that might seep into the chamber during repair.

Remove the Hydraulic Fluid: Remove all hydraulic fluid from the cylinder in a meticulous manner to avoid contamination of new lubricant.

Check Hydraulic Cylinder: Take advantage of the time changing fluids and look over cylinder rods, nut threads or any other items that can show wear indicate rusting or pitting. This is especially important for tie-rod hydraulic cylinders and welded body hydraulic cylinder, that quite often work in difficult environmental conditions.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process

The correct cleaning of the hydraulic cylinder provides a foundation for effective lubrication. To make it as fresh and clean read through these steps:

Get Rid of Old Lubricant & Debris – Use a Wire Brush or High-Pressure Water Cleaner to Release All the Crust (old lubrication, sludge…else) From Rods and Pistons. This is perhaps one of the most important steps in not only getting rid of some debris from your vehicle, but also preventing contaminates form mixing with new lubricant.

Many telescopic hydraulic cylinders have many intricate internal parts that need to be cleaned.

Cost Frugal Ways to lube Up Your Hydraulic Cylinder

The right lubrication oil is critical to ensuring the performance and life of your hydraulic cylinders. The selection of the lubricant should be in accordance with your equipment, including that which is specified by manufacturers and operationally required on regular basis as well by application environment.

a. Hydraulic Oil

Hydraulic oil is excellent for use in hydraulic cylinder since it offers good stability and lubricity. This is especially useful in applications that operate at very high temperatures or pressures. But they may degrade the seals used in your custom hydraulic cylinders, so it is important to ensure that a specific type of synthetic oil would be compatible with those types of equipment.

b. Hydraulic Grease

ServicePack Hydraulic Grease also doubles as a lubricant and a sealant which is an effective solution to prevent the cylinder rods from contamination, debris and basically avoids spurting of grease oil away. Because of the composition, grease is a bit more viscous than oil and therefore better able to form an elastic protective film that is especially useful in outdoor gears or when equipment remains idle for extended periods. But be careful only with greasing in higher temperatures as the grease can burn leaving a hard residue.

c. Water-Based Fluids

These are also compatible for working on fire-hazard sites but the water-based fluids aren´t used that commonly. But they need more frequent reapplication and may not offer the same protection as oils or grease used for hydraulic purposes.

Lubricating The Hydraulic Cylinders

If the LPG is clean and they have chosen a good lubricant, there are some important steps to apply it:

Re-Lubrication: Another easy step is to reapply the new grease used in a hydraulic cylinder on all moving rods and sheeting. Make sure to properly lubricate all the critical ours as we want minimum friction and wear on any part.

Replace Flushed substances with Clean Fluid: After lubricating, replace all flushed compounds by clean hydraulic fluids to keep the system intact.

Put the Cylinder Back Together and Put It Back In: Now that it has been properly oiled, put all of your cylinder parts back together ensuring everything snaps into place. Clean off any remaining lubricant then reinsert the cylinder to your tool.

Long-Term Reliability of Hydraulic Cylinders

Of course, normal cleaning and maintaining lubrication are only a portion of the greater maintenance picture for hydraulic cylinders. By checking on your cylinders regularly you will be in a position to catch problems early so it won't lead up to system crashing.
