The Mouse that roars, eats scorpions and howls at the moon

This little fellow with the torrid name, Onychomys torridus, is a real bad boy of the animal world. A real Don.

The kind of things it does are unbelievable. Nothing seems to affect it. Impervious to pain it eats deadly poisonous insects. Research is on to unravel what gives Torridus this ability. This may lead to some new pain management for humans.

    sir, i read your discussion about vacuum lifting. but i m not understand properly so i need to know if 1 kg block its dimension L=100, B=80, H=40 what its formula to find the vacuum for a lift and hold (5 sec). how to selecting capacity of vacuum generate for this application.

    Your question relates to some other thread where you have seen the discussion on vacuum lift. It will be more appropriate if you post your query there so that more people can participate.

    Lifting capacity = (Difference in pressure between atmospheric pressure at the place and the absolute pressure of the vacuum pump) x area of contact between the lifting mechanism (cup or whatever) and the block. The vacuum pump must have sufficient flow rate to maintain this vacuum in case there is a leak at the joint.
    For example, if the contact area is 10 sq.cms., then you need a vacuum of 0.9 Bar absolute (-0.1 bar gauge) to lift 1 kg. If the area is 5 sq.cm. then you need a vacuum of 0.8 bar absolute(-0.2bar gauge)
