Perhaps. There are things out of my control, but I can commit to what I enjoy doing. Otherwise I’ll go nuts in the process and despite what college professors tell their students about engineers changing the world, many perpetuate existence and help corporations pay their shareholders.

edit: and really, there’s nothing wrong with that as long as somebody enjoys their job overall. My plan B has always been to live on an organic farm…

I have no shame and nobody should. I’m a gay engineer – a strange being for sure. I actually thought most here knew, but I guess there’s a lot of new members.

Congrats man! Good stuff!

It’s so coooooooold in the d!

23

Some of you guys act like you have never communicated with a gay person before. Geez, I don’t see what the big deal is here…he shares the same hobby that we are all here for and that is a passion for cars. I don’t think anything else matters.

:tup: to you for making the switch/promotion. I’m sure it will be nice getting back closer to home.

24

hey it pays the bills, it paid mine for a few years. good luck :tup:

25

congrats man!

26

Congrats big time man, really cool to see someone on here working in such a high profile, relevant field! You gotta post more!

And listen here Straighties, Ultra just asked if he was gay, dont everyone jump at once to defend this horendous hate crime of a question. Im sure 75% of the people reading this who dont know Redgoober were wondring this as well. The only thing cooler than being a chick doing what youre doing is being a gay dude. Its stupid for us to prentend its not a bit of deal.

See the blue areas on the map above.

Just add something like this:

Also, Ferndale (just South of Royal Oak) has a pretty big gay community. Big annual parade (lots of Miatas cruisin).

Plus, Detroit has a lot of cool place to eat between Greektown, Mexican town, Hamtramck (polish village) and a ton of BBQ places popping up.

:lol:

Congrats. Get them to pay for the PhD, then marry a PhD that has been imported and have the most boring conversations of your life. (as viewed by non PhD’s)

We have some recovering fuel cell engineers from Delphi - Rochester before they shut it down.

Fuel cells are fun. We are doing similar research but using the materials differently.
Same shit different program. High temperature seals suck, transitioning from high temperature ceramics to metal sucks,
Coking sucks, etc…

31

Where were you working?

32

nice job not answering the question

h20/=O2

33

90+ percent of Hydrogen comes from Natural gas.
Electrolysis is really expensive.

34

Nice job not being able to read.

35

I’ll just say congrats before this thread totally falls apart, lol.

If you love burnouts and sketchy driving, you’ll love Pontiac especially around the Woodward Dream Cruise!

36

reading has nothing to do with the fact that there is not currently an affordable source of pure hydrogen big enough to support fuel cell vehicles
you can post all the articles you want, but the fact remains that there is no source

37

If the world wanted to get serious about getting off oil we could easily use modern nuclear processes to cleanly produce hydrogen. It’s going to take oil continuing to spike in price and people like Goober coming up with a reliable, efficient and cost effective fuel cell for getting off oil to become a priority.

I’ll go create a thread where we can discuss this without shitting up poor Corey’s job thread any further. :slight_smile:

38

Or you can run a SOFC off of a hydrocarbon based fuels!

39

you want a 800C object running around in everyone’s cars?

they are a good idea for stationary power though, material costs continue to be an obstacle though

I know, I was just seeing if I could peak your interest :stuck_out_tongue: EGT’s hit 825C in some instance :slight_smile:
