Great, so we have the highest post count, and when everyone comes in to see what it's all about, they find out we're nothing but a bunch of postwhores...

Lets turn this into another standard high tech thread in the 2nd gen forum.
Lets see what can we talk about now?????
How about making a heads up display. Or lets discuss different coatings for the housings like molybedendum.

I am not sure, I learned this from my Shelby car.
This is almost top secret ****, because the oil companines lose money, when your engine is running without any friction internally and getting awesome gas mileage.
I think you get a small portion of molybdenum in higher quality oils, but not much and once its gone, so its the protection of the oil.

Here is some data.
What does molybdenum do ?
The demands of industry are becoming constantly more severe. Engineers want stronger, tougher materials with better hot strength, superior properties at low temperatures, more corrosion resistance and added wear resistance so they can design and build more efficient equipment to give us a better life. Molybdenum helps meet these demands.
Just like other common alloying elements such as chromium and nickel, molybdenum additions give alloy steel and iron a combination of strength, toughness and wear resistance not possible with unalloyed steels. Its extensive use is proof that, under many conditions, its inclusion (alone or with other alloys) results in a more economical and serviceable part. Moreover, molybdenum makes a unique contribution to hot strength, corrosion resistance and toughness.
Increasing temperature raises the efficiency of most types of equipment from steam turbines in central power stations to gas turbines in jet planes and eventually automobiles. Relatively small molybdenum additions are in many cases the best means of increasing hot strength. This applies not only to steel but also to the nonferrous super-alloys with nickel or cobalt as a base. In some aerospace and metalworking applications, molybdenum metal – either pure or with small additions of other alloys – is needed as it stands up even at temperatures where steel melts.
Molybdenum additions give stainless steel greater corrosion resistance. Molybdenum-containing stainless steel is now specified in automotive trim for long life even along the seacoast and in contact with de-icing salts. In other grades, the added corrosion resistance resulting from molybdenum makes chemical processes industrially feasible that would otherwise be confined to the laboratory.
