Drafting stool, drafting table and drafting furniture

Drafting furniture and drafting stool resources

There are a great many draftsmen and women who still rely on the the traditional drafting stool and drafting table, creating drawings in pencil or ink on vellum. A number of structural steel detailers still work this way. As do many graphic artists and architecturaldesigners.

Here are some links for drafting furniture, drafting stools and even a portable drafting table.

This table is a good strong layout table and drafting board, I think this might be more suitable for a fabrication shop who needs a drafting table.

  • Wind energy stored in unused high pressure pipe.
    Wind energy is supposed to be free and something every country would like to take advantage of. But even if you install windmills there is still the problem of how to store the energy. At the moment, batteries are just not practical for storing the large amounts of energy for later use. A veteran of the canadian pipeline business may have come up with a novel alternative.

    Dave McConnell, of Lancaster Energy Systems in Alberta, Canada proposes using windmills to drive a nitrogen compression system. Forcing inert nitrogen gas into unused large diameter gas pipelines, he makes what amounts to a gigantic compressed air tank. Releasing the compressed gas makes it possible to generate power anywhere along the pipeline.

    The idea has been extensively researched by top scientists and engineers and may well be implemented in the coming years. It looks like a unique way to take advantage of two things Canada has in abundance. Wind and high pressure gas pipelines.
