A Very Expensive Boneyard (7 pics)

Posted in Pictures 1 Mar 2010 / 6262 views

The base in these photos is home to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance And Regeneration Group (309 AMARG) which repairs some of the aircraft and even gets some of them flying again. Electronics, wiring, munitions, and engines are all recycled to help reduce the cost of maintaining today’s fleet. The U.S. government even allows the military in other countries to buy parts and planes from the site. The facility is the size of 1,300 football fields. The desert is a perfect place to store the mass of steel, because the small amount of rainfall means low humidity which means very little rust occurs.

Look At What The Chinese Manage To Do With Bridges (6 pics)

Posted in Pictures 27 Jan 2010 / 5377 views

One would think that it would only take some dynamite to bring a standing bridge down, however that is not the case. It would appear that it takes a good many man hours to destroy a bridge, especially if the bridge was made in China almost entirely from trash in the first place. Much of the trash that was used to construct the bridge must be removed by hand. It probably takes half as much work to destruct a bridge as it does to construct one. Thus, what starts out as trash ends up as trash. It turns out to be a good way to recycle.

Houses made from salvaged materials (18 pics)

This is incredible how many of materials are not used during the construction and just dumped as a trash. Dan Phillips finds such materials and uses them to build low budget houses. He has built fourteen homes and some of other materials he said he finds on the construction sites, trash heaps or on the side of the road.
