Two shafts that aren’t even pointing in the same direction, yet somehow they still manage to transfer rotation. Mechanical engineering has some pretty clever ways of making things work ⚙️🤖 That’s exactly what a universal joint does, and it’s used in everything from automotive drivetrains to industrial machinery. This... time I modeled one from scratch in Fusion 360, including the moving assembly and joint relationships. It’s a pretty fun CAD project if you’re learning mechanical design or want to get better at thinking like a mechanical designer. And watching the finished mechanism move is surprisingly satisfying. Would you trust this design under a serious load, or should we put it through a stress analysis next? 👀 #engineeringstudent #mechanicalengineering #engineeringprojects #fusion360 #learnontiktokcontestshow more

Mechanical engineering is the reason anything in the world moves, generates power or gets built. Engines, turbines, pipelines, cranes, machines, vehicles, aircraft. All of it starts with a mechanical engineer. It is the broadest engineering discipline on the planet and it touches every single industry that exists. This is what mechanical engineering actually looks like in the real world.

One of the most useful tools in my design workflow isn’t a CAD program—it’s a set of alcohol markers. I use them for two very different purposes: 🎨 Design sketching — quickly adding light, shadow, and dimensionality to turn simple linework into sketches that feel much more realistic. ⚙️ Engineering sketching — using color to separate parts in complex assemblies and make mechanical systems easier to understand at a glance. It’s a surprisingly simple trick, but it makes a huge difference when you’re trying to communicate ideas on paper. 🖊️ The exact markers I use: 🌐 More design, engineering, and 3D printing projects: Do you use markers when sketching, or are you all digital these days? #IndustrialDesign #Sketching #DesignSketching #ProductDesign #Engineering

AI in CAD just went from “make me a part” to “build me the damn machine.” Using Autodesk Fusion MCP, the agent is working inside a real mechanical assembly with a chassis, shafts, gears, bearings, brackets, repeated hardware, and multiple components that all have to stay aligned with each other. That is a completely different problem from generating one clean 3D object. You can inspect the assembly from different angles, isolate sections, dig into individual joints, and keep working on the same engineering project instead of starting from another prompt-generated blob. The important part is not that AI can create geometry anymore. It is that it can operate inside the structure of a real CAD project where every component depends on what is around it. Once this gets reliable, a lot of mechanical CAD starts looking suspiciously simple: describe the system, inspect what the agent built, then tell it what to change.

The scary part about AI in CAD is not that GPT can extrude a shape. It is that it can now build a mechanism where multiple parts actually have to agree with each other. Using GPT + Autodesk Fusion MCP, this project turns into a mechanical iris assembly with a base plate, eight overlapping blades, a drive ring, a cover, mounting holes, and relationships between the components. One blade is easy. The annoying part is repeating it around the same center, keeping every pivot aligned, fitting the mechanism between the surrounding plates, and making the whole assembly stay coherent as more geometry gets added. That is where MCP starts getting interesting. GPT is no longer treating Fusion like a place to dump some 3D geometry. It is working inside the actual CAD structure, where components, relationships, repeated parts, and the assembly itself all matter. That is a much bigger deal than text-to-3D. Because once an AI agent can reliably build and modify mechanisms instead of isolated shapes, a surprisingly large chunk of mechanical CAD starts looking like something you describe, inspect, and correct rather than model feature by feature.

Edgerrin James says that he used his first NFL signing bonus to buy two rundown buildings in a drug-affected neighborhood in his hometown and turn them into a recreational center for local kids “I mean, it’s appropriate. You know, them things you’re supposed to do. That’s your way of really giving back and helping and showing. You can help a lot of people by making one move. One move can change the structure of so many other kids. Like right now, from Immokalee, we got four guys that’s in the NFL right now, and those same four guys used to come to that same building that we opened up and that we had around. And it was actually pretty cool to actually see that, you know, they were a part of it.” “Exactly. And that’s what it’s about. You’re showing them that it’s possible, and that’s part of my whole MO, man. Like, look, I’m going to come across as normal, and I’m going to do all the same things y’all do. So I’m showing you that it’s possible. Right now, you got to dig into it a little bit more to say, ‘Okay, what separated me from them?’ And that’s when that discipline and that hard work and really knowing what it’s going to take, or doing what it’s going to take, to get there.” “Yeah, you got D.J. Swearinger, you got Mackensie Alexander, you got D’Ernest Johnson that played for the Cleveland Browns, and then you got the Pro Bowler, J.C., that played for the New England Patriots. You know, all four of those kids, they used to be around. They’re all out of Immokalee, and that’s what it’s about. To have kids that’s in the community that actually see you do what you do, and they follow in those footsteps.” “I got a million names from them. They actually make you feel old. Like, they really the ones that make you feel old. And then you go back, you go through some of the pictures, and you see the kids out there doing what they were doing. Like, dang, I’ve really been around a long time. And to see J.C. go to the Pro Bowl, you’re like, man, I watched this kid from birth. But it’s a good feeling to know that you got people coming from your area that you inspired.”

I posted about a friend of mine that relocated to the UK from Abuja and is very good in mechanical and electrical things when it has to do with cars. This is one of the things he does that gives him serious pounds. He can pimp anything you want in your car. Look at how he is controlling the windows of his car with just the car remote.

🚨This is what American engineering looks like… in real time. No hype… no CGI… no trick editing. A man takes industrial structural adhesive… Applies it correctly… lets it cure… Then lifts a 7,000 lb Tesla Cybertruck OFF THE GROUND… Tesla With glue. Let that sink in. Not bolts… Not welds… Not steel reinforcement… Glue. This isn’t arts and crafts… this is aerospace-grade chemistry meeting precision engineering. The product used… Fusor 2098 Is designed to create bonds so strong… they rival or exceed traditional mechanical fastening in specific applications. And it showed. That joint held under full load… No snap… No shear failure… No separation. This is the level of innovation people underestimate. America doesn’t just build things… It reinvents how things are built. From automotive to aerospace… From composites to bonding science… We are engineering at the molecular level now. While others are debating… We’re designing materials that can hold up a truck with a layer you can barely see. That’s not just impressive… That’s dominance in applied science. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

In Ag…… let’s be honest we know so very little, we just hope to capture a bit of knowledge each opportunity we get. We should learn from one another not cry about someone’s ideas because they are different then what you learned or were taught. History teaches us a lot, but it doesn’t mean you can’t move forward, it’s a constant cycle of learning. And no one learns without others! It’s a team game that we are all in together. The guy that says I can’t trust that guy as he sells that seed or that fertilizer or that foliar is going to see rough times. As learning is opening your eyes and ears to ideas, and adding them to your library full of knowledge from your own experiences. That’s how something improves. It’s not the same thing every year and it’s not changing everything all at once. It’s bringing ideas and practices together to make it all work and bridge the gap.

Our AI in Design case study featuring Linear is live! A couple things stood out to me right away as we were talking to Karri Saarinen and team about how they use AI in their flow - 1. They go waaay deeper with AI before doing any work that most teams would categorize as “design” though they rightfully see it as a key part of the design process. This means asking AI for info on how a UI came to be, who has worked on it historically, why a certain change might work or not, etc. They really use AI to deeply understand the problem they’re about to tackle. 2. The way they use AI within Linear gives them a crazy advantage. Imagine asking something like: “What designer has touched this feature in the last 5 years and why does it work the way it does?” Good luck getting a good answer for this at most companies. At Linear they have all that context IN Linear… it’s a huge advantage they have and one they utilize to no end. This approach is an incredible way to save unnecessary iterations and ensure you’re building a product that’s moving the company in the right direction. Lots more great insights and examples in the full case study here -

If I have a plug or a hack to get a better deal or more food, would I share it online? Probably not, the chances that it would ruin it me or the company is pretty high. Especially if other locations catch on. I feel that if I shared this, what would happen is more and more people would try to take advantage of it and the store would issue a policy to stop it. What I’m conflicted about is, by ordering a taco in a bowl, I would be getting a $15 bowl for $4. Is it my fault the company has a loophole like that, or should I even feel guilty about exploiting it if it’s only for my benefit? Or is it a scenario where everything is fair game because the restaurant allows us to do that. Whose fault is it that we figured out how to get their pricier item for less? Someone else called it theft, but is this really theft if it’s allowed? They allow us to put our taco shell in a bowl. They allow us to ask for as many extras that we want. So would I really be the bad guy for taking advantage of this? I figured if this was a real issue the store would have stopped it, and to this day as far as I know, anyone can still do this. When I get a chance this week I’ll go and try to do this again to see if it still works, I’ll keep you posted.

Steve Jobs on what separates the successful founders from unsuccessful ones Steve is asked what the factors of success and common pitfalls are for young entrepreneurs. He responds: “I get asked this a lot, and I have a pretty standard answer. A lot of people come to me and say, ‘I want to be an entrepreneur.’ And I go, ‘Oh, that’s great, what’s your idea?’ And they say they don’t have one yet. And I say I think you should go get a job as a busboy or something until you find something you’re really passionate about, because it’s a lot of work.” Steve continues: “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance. It is so hard. You pour so much of your life into this thing, and there are such rough moments in time that most people give up. I don’t blame them. It’s really tough, and it consumes your life. I mean, if you’ve got a family and you’re in the early days of a company, I can’t imagine how one could do it. I’m sure it’s been done, but it’s rough because it’s pretty much an 18-hour-a-day job, 7 days a week for a while. So unless you have a lot of passion about this, you’re not going to survive. You’re going to give it up.” He concludes: “You’ve got to have an idea or a problem or a wrong that you want to right that you’re passionate about. Otherwise, you’re not going to have the perseverance to stick it through. And I think that’s half the battle right there.”

This autonomous Dollar General looks like a cute little log cabin in the mountains… and there’s no one working inside. It’s in Banner Elk, North Carolina, and appears to be one of the first (and only) fully cashierless Dollar Generals. You scan your credit card to get in, grab what you need, and just walk out. The cameras track everything and charge your card automatically. Want a receipt? Enter your phone number. The convenience is pretty nice, especially since it’s open 24/7. At the same time, it does feel a little Big Brother with all the cameras watching every move. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Would you shop at a store like this, or does the no-staff + constant monitoring feel off to you?

The cameras track everything and charge your card automatically. Want a receipt? Enter your phone number. The convenience is pretty nice, especially since it’s open 24/7. At the same time, it does feel a little Big Brother with all the cameras watching every move. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Would you shop at a store like this, or does the no-staff + constant monitoring feel off to you?
