What connection does the ferris wheel have to Pittsburgh?
Your best bet is to solder an end cap on.
I think you might have overtightened it, if it is what I am thinking. Try loosing it up, see if it stops. They make all kinds of fittings for this job, No soldering needed, but that would be the best bet if you can do it. If you attempt it, clean the pipe, polish with sand paper, use flux, no water in pipe, heat the cap up, when the flame turns green, apply the solder, it will suck up towards the cap , let set.
That#x27;s where the first one was made.
ROLLER COASTER! And that's intresting. You're scared of heights, and yet you pick ferris wheel. When you're on a roller coster, you're going so fast that you don't realize how high up you are. When you're on a ferris wheel, you could get stuck at the very top, and then someone in the cart behind you could start shaking his cart really fast, leading your cart to flip over, and then you could fall several stories and die. Or suffer severe brain damage. think about the next time you're on a ferris wheel.
George Ferris invented the ferris wheel in Pittsburg The first ferris wheel was designed by George W. Ferris, a bridge-builder from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Ferris began his career in the railroad industry and then pursued an interest in bridge building. He understood the growing need for structural steel, Ferris founded G.W.G. Ferris Co. in Pittsburgh, a firm that tested and inspected metals for railroads and bridge builders. He built the Ferris Wheel for the 1893 World's Fair, which was held in Chicago to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landing in America. The Chicago Fair's organizers wanted something that would rival the Eiffel Tower. Gustave Eiffel had built the tower for the Paris World's Fair of 1889, which honored the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution. Finding a suitable design proved difficult: Architect Daniel H. Burnham, who was in charge of selecting the project for the Chicago World's Fair, complained at an engineer's banquet in 1891 about having found nothing that met the expectations of the people. Among the audience was George Washington Gale Ferris Jr., owner of a firm that tested iron and steel. He had an inspiration and scribbled the design for the Ferris Wheel on a napkin during the dinner. It was considered an engineering wonder: two 140-foot steel towers supported the wheel; they were connected by a 45-foot axle, the largest single piece of forged steel ever made up until that time. The wheel section had a diameter of 250 feet and a circumference of 825 feet. Two 1000-horsepower reversible engines powered the ride. Thirty-six wooden cars held up to sixty riders each. The ride cost fifty cents and made $726,805.50 during the World's Fair. The original Ferris Wheel was destroyed in 1906, but there are other ferris wheels at theme parks and carnivals everywhere.
