"Inventor, Solidworks, both programmes I believe to be obsolescent.
 
A Cad-Techie doth not a sigman freud ye make."
 
Sneer 1 and sneer 2. That's a great argument you're making.
 
I get an entirely different impression. Imagine if a noob comes to you with a .stl file of a turbine assembly and suggests you convert it to a class-A parametric surface. This is an analogy, think about it. If you know what you're talking about sometimes it gets irritating to have to state what should be obvious fact to anyone who has the slightest idea what they are talking about.
 
I guess what I am saying is that I think he's legit
 
As for Heral being the real deal. Let's compare him to the real deal. Let's say someone who actually had what it takes to design some of the best aircraft in history.
 
To me, the A-4 is the epitome of a simple, practical design. When I asked if there was anything he would change about the Skyhawk, Ed said he'd always wanted to redesign two quick and dirty fixes made during early flight testing to cure flow separation. One had been to remove the skin from one side of the rudder, the other to attach a bent-metal ?beanie cap? on top of the tailpipe. Both "temporary" fixes were part of every one the 2,960 A-4 Skyhawks built

I do not see the attitude described above in Herald.
 
What I see instead is a statement about moving a fuse in a bomb:
The bomb fuse failed to function as designed because it was in the wrong location. The US fuses are now located in the midbody on the casing strong-back. That is why I knew that BA was wrong on that contract as of this year, Warpig. The German fuses (not French) won't fit.
 
He supports with this link: "http://www.dtic.mil/ndia/2002fuze/robbins.pdf" and says:
Page 31-38 inclusive
 
I look at the picture on page 31 and the FZU-48 / FZU-55  is the only thing of the fuzing system located on the casing hard back.
 
For a while I believe what Herald says and that the FZU-48 / FZU-55 is exactly that fuse that is located mid body even to the point of making a statment that this might have been done because of standing waved.
 
And the Blue Apple posts this statement. 
 
Maybe because there simply is no midway fuze (fuze as "explosive detonator") and Herald is making things up?
 
I check this statement and find this datasheet by the manufacturer of the FZU-48 and FZU-55.
The FZU-48/B is an air-driven turbine alternator for use in the charging well of MK 80 and M117 series general purpose bombs.
 
This is not a fuse located midway on the hardbody of a Paveway. With this data the irrefutable evidence stares me in the face that the evidence Herald posted of a fuse located midway on hardbody of a Paveway bomb has been proven incorrect. The thing on the hardbody is not a fuze like Blue Apple's said.
 
Could a fuze be designed that is located there?, Yes.
Could an encoder fitted to the alternator be used for fuzing?, Yes.
Could a fuze be designed so that the blast pattern is optimal?, Yes.
(Just put the detonator on a "stick" so that the blast starts at the center of the bomb)
Have I seen any evidence that this is actually the case?, No

I've said this before. I don't believe the Herald has any expertise except being a master at using Google. He make obscure statements to draw people in so that he can then freely insult then because they didn't understand his posts. This particularly applies to anyone and anything French.
 
His analysis is usually laughable and shows no understanding of the issues that he discusses. When challenged, he makes things up or puts forward strawman arguments. Finally, he refers challengers back to unsubstantiated posts of his own that have already been refuted.
 
All in all, he is a total waste of bandwidth and I hope that he has been banned again, this time permanently.

A lot of what he says checks out as correct. There is technical expertice there.
 
What I see is that when faced with a mistake, he doesn't want to admit, learn from it and move on. That annoys me, because in my opinion it holds him back from being as good as he could be. In my opinion it holds him back from being a lot more competent than me.
 
In my opinion, to become the best you can, you need to try and test a lot of ideas and assumptions. The faster you are able to ditch faulty ones, the more time you have to try more ideas. Being hesitant to admit a mistake, makes you slower in trying new stuff, makes you slower in improving.
 
Why the hell would I care if everybody thinks I'm stupid, when constantly admitting to a mistakes enables improving to the point where you are able to design technology for real that others cannot even imagine in their dreams?

That's why I call him an expert Googler. There's no dispute that he posts factual items from the internet. What's lacking is anything more than the most shallow conclusions drawn from that data.

This thread is just too entertaining to let it slip away into oblivion off the bottom of the board.

hahaha! who deserve to read 700 post of this kind? I mean, It can probably inflict permanent brain damage and eye tilt. I would seriously consider this as an immoral torture.
