| Green Spot: Interface, Inc. -- Zero Sum Game For Good
This time, he designs it to use 93% less horsepower (1/14 as much!). This time, he specifies big pipes and small motors to pump the viscous material, rather than small pipes and big motors. He arranges to install the big, straight, short pipes first, and then install the production line thereafter; rather than installing the production line first and bending pipes here and there to fit them to the line. He has largely defeated the pump's enemy, friction. He now knows that friction varies inversely with the 5th power of pipe diameter, and every bend in a pipe further increases friction and decreases efficiency, as does distance (i.e., pipe length). Doesn't every engineer learn these things in school? Apparently not; this is "new thinking". And, the entire production line costs less to build than its counterpart built 10 years before, and less to operate.
Reader comments: Mitt deflects questions about faith, finances
Bury your head if you want, but the fact that Mitt makes INFORMED decisions...is willing to CHANGE HIS MIND (BIG difference between that and flip-flopping...look into it and you can find the reasons)...and has the experience that matters (as in REAL WORLD, not east coast hollywoood...er..washington experience) tells me he is the best candidate right now. .
