Bits of (Technical) Wisdom
My name is Dan. I am a retired automotive engineer* with over 40 years in automotive and heavy vehicle engineering. Most of it was in powertrain engineering, the last 15 years leading work on hybrid and electric propulsion systems and vehicles. I started this channel to share my experience. After retiring, I purchased my "Barn Find" Camaro. As I work, I hope to provide some “bits” from my experience, plus share other projects and insights.
DISCLAIMER: In this channel, I provide demonstrations, suggestions, opinions, and answer questions on techniques and materials for various projects. While I try to be accurate, there are no guarantees, expressed or implied, that my information is correct and will work for you. If you wish to use any of this information, you must check and verify that it is appropriate for your use - use it at your risk. Do-it-yourself projects are variable and there are risks in conducting them.
