A manual posthole digger is also known as a clam shell digger. It's a tool used for small digging projects (as opposed to power augers used for bigger, deeper holes).

The manual posthole digger or clamshell digger as some call it is a tool that works fine for small jobs. Indeed, what a hand earth auger is compared to large mechanical augers, the manual posthole digger is to power models. A posthole digger should not be mistaken for a post pounder, which is often used along with the digger, but to force the pole into the hole once the hole is dug.

A typical manual posthole digger has a handle as long as six-feet long. This allows for greater depth than smaller models with five foot handles. The digger's handles are usually made of hard wood and are covered in a clear varnish. This clear coating is not merely aesthetic; it also allows the buyer to see the wood's condition beneath it. That's important since some not-so-reputable companies paint the handles to hide the inferior wood beneath. The tool's handles are normally rounded at the top. This makes it easier to use. On the bottom, though, the ends are square, because this gives added strength.

The blades of a good digger are precision molded and hardened. They're sharpened and then covered by a shield that protects them when they're being sharped; the shield also keeps the digger sharp and ready for use. The blades on the digger have been sized to cut a specific sized hole--perhaps six inches. If you used a shovel to dig the hole, you'd have to dig a hole with a much wider diameter. That's one of the main benefits of the posthole digger--the narrowness of the holes it digs. Please note, though, that the tool works best in softer soils, such as clay. If you try to dig in gravel with it, you'll have a bit of a difficult time, unless the stones are quite small.

The pivot pin on the digger is usually made of 3/4" steel. It's designed to be strong enough that it lasts for many years. You as the user, though, also play a role in its longevity: Make sure you keep it clean and coated with oil to keep it from rusting.

Prior to using your posthole digger, remember to keep safety foremost in your mind. This means you should make sure that there are no electrical, cable, water or gas lines or pipes that you might strike. It also means that you should practice proper hand safety by wearing gloves. And don't forget the goggles to guard your eyes.

Once all of your preparations are made, mark the spot where you'll be digging. Then, as you hold the handles together, raise the digger as high as possible, slamming it down to drive it into the ground. Now pull the handles apart and lift the tool. Your hole has now been started. Move the digger away and remove the dirt between the blades by pulling the handles from each other. Continue in this manner until your hole is your desired depth.

If you have a major digging project that will involve several holes or digging in hard ground, consider a power earth auger rather than the manual digger. But remember, regardless of which you buy, buy only from trusted manufacturers. SpeedCo, for instance, has a good reputation. For many people, when they think of SpeedCo, tractors are what they first think of, but their augers and posthole diggers are equally trustworthy.

If you do get the power auger, remember that you'll definitely need a second person to help you with it. That's another of the benefits of the manual posthole digger: It can easily be used as a one-man operation.

Duplex Stainless Steel

Stainless steel is steel which has chromium added to it. This gives the steel corrosion resistance properties, and these properties give the steel certain advantages. There are many different types of steels, and they are used for various applications such as sinks or basins and steel cutlery to name just a few.

Steels are graded according to their properties. Some may be very 'hard' and difficult to machine/fabricated (milling & turning etc.) whilst others may be relatively 'soft' and fairly easy to machine. Tough ones will reduce the life of the cutting tool whilst relatively softer steels will machine more easily and the life of the tool will be prolonged.

Duplex stainless steels are very resistant to corrosion and also have a high resistance to intergranular corrosion. They exhibit very high resistance even in sulphide and chloride environments, and have a high resistance to stress corrosion cracking. Super duplex grades exhibit even higher resistance to corrosion.

Due to the high content of chromium in them, temperatures of over 300 degrees centigrade can cause embrittlement, however at lower temperatures the steel has better ductility than ferritic and martensitic grades. Duplex grades of stainless steels can be readily used down to at least -50 degrees centigrade.

When machining or fabricating any types of steels, only tools dedicated to stainless materials should be used. Work and tooling surfaces should be clean to avoid any cross contamination by easily corroded metals that may discolour the surface of the machined product.

They do not harden if heat treated but it can be work hardened. Annealing (a softening up process) may be carried out by rapid cooling after heating to about 1100 degrees centigrade.

Due to the properties of duplex steels machining can be quite difficult, but the machining may be enhanced by using the following procedures;

o Dull edges cause work hardening so keep cutting tools sharp

o Light cuts should be taken but deep enough to prevent skimming the surface

o Use adequate amounts of coolants and cutting fluids

Some typical applications for duplex steels can include chemical processing, marine environments, oil and gas refining and pulp and paper manufacturing.

Heat is energy in transit from warmer to colder system.

Heat is associated with the internal potential and kinetic energy (an apparently disorganized molecular motion) of a system.

There is a dilemma with the understanding of the previous paragraph. If heat is a form of energy associated to the particles’ rotational, translational and vibratory movements, what is the heat that moves through the empty space between the Sun and the Earth, where for the most part there are not molecules? Well, we should know that the heat could be transferred from any source by radiation. The thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation that consists of quanta and waves, to be precise, photons and waves, like light’s propagation. Thus, the radiative heat transfer can take place through vacuum.

The energy always moves from a warm system to a colder system. The energy that is moving from one system to another is known as heat. The transfer or dispersion of heat can occur by means of three main mechanisms, conduction, convection and radiation:

CONDUCTION: It is the flow of heat through solids and liquids by vibration and collision of molecules and free electrons. The molecules of a portion of a system at a higher temperature vibrate faster than the molecules of other regions of the same -or of another- system at lower temperature. The molecules with a higher movement collide with the molecules less energized and transfer part of their energy to the less energized molecules of the colder regions of the structure. For example, the heat transfer by conduction through the bodywork of a car.

Metals are the best thermal conductors; while non-metals are poor thermal conductors. For comparison, the thermal conductivity (k) of the copper is 401 W/m*K, while the thermal conductivity (k) of the air is 0.0263 W/m*K. The thermal conductivity of the carbon dioxide (CO2) is 0.01672 W/m*K, almost the thermal conductivity of an isolator.

Formula to calculate the conductivity gradient for a given system:

q = - kA (Δ T/Δ n)

Where Δ T/Δ n is the temperature gradient in the direction of area A, and k is the thermal conductivity constant obtained by experimentation in W/m.K.

CONVECTION: Flow of heat through currents within a fluid (a liquid or a gas). Convection is a movement of liquid or gaseous volumes. When a mass of a fluid warms because it is in contact with a hot surface, its molecules are expanded and scattered causing that the mass of that fluid becomes less dense. As the hotter volume of the fluid becomes less dense, it will be displaced vertically and/or horizontally, while the less hot but denser volumes of the fluid will sink (the less hot volume is displaced by the hotter volume of fluid). By this mechanism, the hotter volumes transfer heat towards the less hot volumes of that fluid (a liquid or a gas).

For example, when we heat water on a stove, the volume of water at the bottom of the pot will be warmed up by conduction from the metal of the pot and it will become less dense. Then, because it is less dense, it will shift upward to the surface of the volume of water and will displace to the upper -less hot and denser- mass of water.

Formula of Convection:

q = hA (Ts - T ∞)

Where h is the constant for the convective heat transfer coefficient, A is the area implied, and Ts - T ∞ is the difference between the final temperature and the initial temperature.

RADIATION: It is the transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. It does not need a propagating medium. Radiated energy moves at the speed of light. The heat radiated by the Sun can be exchanged between the solar surface and the Earth's surface without heating the transitional space.

For example, if I place an object (such as a coin, a car, or myself) under the direct sunbeams, I will note in a little while that the object will be heated. The exchange of heat between the Sun and the object occurs by radiation.

The formula to know the amount of heat transferred by radiation is:

q = e σ A [(ΔT)^4]

Where q is the heat transferred by radiation, E is the emissivity of the system, σ is the constant of Stephan-Boltzmann (5.6697 x 10^-8 W/m^2.K^4), A is the area involved in the heat transfer by radiation, and T^4 is the the fourth power of the absolute temperature.

A Heat Sink is a system capable of absorbing heat from an object with which it is in thermal contact without a phase change or a significant variation in temperature.

At Earth's location, the outer space, the gravity field and the false void are heat sinks.

Water has a specific Heat of 4.190 kJ/Kg.K, while air has a specific heat of 1.0057 kJ/Kg.K, and soil have a Specific Heat of 0.725 kJ/Kg.K.

Water has a Specific Heat higher than soil and air; then, the Thermal Capacity of water is higher than the Thermal Capacity of the air and the soil. To a greater Thermal Capacity, a slower rate of dissipation of heat.

The atmosphere and the soil cannot maintain a generation of heat for longer periods than water because they have a thermal capacity lower than water. For equal volumes (1Kg of each medium), water absorbs more heat than air or soil, so water can absorb more heat, which will be converted into kinetic and potential energy, than the soil or the air can do. A body with a high energy density will last more for losing its inner energy than a body with a lower energy density. For example, if you have ten dollars and your friend has five dollars, and each one is obliged to spend one dollar per day, you will delay ten days to spend your money, while your friend will delay only five days to consume his money.

In general, the soil and the air have, independently, 1/4 of the specific heat of water. For example, the Specific Heat of Carbon Dioxide is 850 J/Kg °C; to be precise, 4.92 times less than the Specific Heat of water; then, its Thermal Capacity will be less than the Thermal Capacity of water. For equal masses of the evaluated substances, at controlled temperatures and pressure, the Carbon Dioxide will release its internal heat five times faster than the water. If one Kilogram of water at 30 °C is cooled by 10 °C in 10 minutes, one Kilogram of Carbon Dioxide at 30 °C would be cooled by 10 °C in two minutes. The rule is: If you get it fast, you will lose it fast. As an interesting datum, the Hydrogen has a Specific Heat of 14200 J/Kg -°C; while Methane, another of the famous "Greenhouse" gases, has 2200 J/Kg °C. Steam has a Specific Heat of 2100 J/Kg-°C (Data on Specific Heat of the substances obtained from MONACHOS ENGINEERING and from Wittemann).

Water absorbs the Infrared Radiation incoming from Sun because the frequency of the internal vibration of the water molecules is the same frequency of the waves of the solar Infrared Radiation. This form of Radiative Heat transfer is known like Resonance Absorption.

We humans feel the heat radiated by the Sun and other systems with a higher temperature than our bodies because the last are formed by 55-75% of water. The Radiative Heat incising on our skin is absorbed for our bodies’ molecules of water by Resonance Absorption. At that moment, the Infrared Radiation directs a more intense internal vibration of the molecules of water in our bodies (our bodies get warmer). However, living beings in general possess systems that permit us to eliminate the excess of heat from our bodies to maintain a quasi-stable internal temperature (it is one of the many homeostatic processes of biosystems).

If Earth did not have water, nights would be extremely cold -even if its atmosphere had had "Greenhouse" Gases five times more concentrated than at present.

For example, if the atmospheres of Mars and Earth had the same density, Mars would have an atmospheric CO2 concentration of 11998.5 ppmv. However, due to a lower density of the atmosphere, the concentration of CO2 in Mars is equivalent to 0.95% on Earth; nevertheless, Mars is a frozen planet because Mars has only vestiges of water (0.03%) and it has not ponds, lakes or oceans.

Have you read that “the main explanation of the blazing Venus surface and the frosty Martian surface has been quite clear and straightforward: the "greenhouse effect”? This assertion is not true, because the real cause is the distance of Venus (nearly) and Mars (distant) from Sun, and that Mars and Venus do not have water as Earth has. If the “greenhouse” effect were the responsible, then Mars, a planet that has 95% of Carbon Dioxide, would not be an iced, but a tepid planet. Besides, Mars only receives 589.2 W/m+e2 of radiant energy from Sun, while Earth receives 1367.6 W/m+e2 of solar radiant energy (2.32 times higher than Mars). Mars’ core has a temperature of 1727 °C (Fei and Bertka, Science; 2005), while Earth has a core generator of heat at 7,200 °C, ¡A CORE TEMPERATURE FOUR TIMES HIGHER THAN MARS’ CORE TEMPERATURE!

Despite the low density of the Martian atmosphere, it has a concentration of Carbon of 0.95%, which is 29.5 times higher than in Earth’s atmosphere. If the global temperature were determined by Carbon Dioxide, Mars would be comfortably warm. Besides, NASA has reported a Climate Change on Mars -specifically, a Martian Global Warming because the "shrunk" of frozen deposits of carbon dioxide on Mars means that its atmosphere's temperature has risen far from normal. The report on the Martian Global Warming from NASA says, “New impact craters formed since the 1970s suggest changes to age-estimating models. And for three Mars summers in a row, deposits of frozen carbon dioxide near Mars' South Pole have shrunk from the previous year's size, suggesting a climate change in progress.” (I have added the cursives). Scientists have also observed that Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and its satellite Titan are experiencing also Climate Changes, which indicates that the Climate Change and the Global Warming are phenomena taking place in the whole Solar System obeying to a cosmic origin, or... perhaps there are industrial activities on Mars and the other planets?

Many authors on climate say that “Greenhouse” gases act as a “blanket” that reflects the heat back to Earth -i.e. “Some re-radiated heat reflected back to Earth” (Ultimate Visual Dictionary – The Atmosphere. DK publishing, Inc. p. 301. 1998) and “The reason is that the atmosphere functions like the crystals of a glasshouse. This is, the properties of absorption and conduction of glass are similar to those of the atmospheric greenhouse gases …” (Wilson, Jerry D. College Physics-2nd Edition; p. 382. Prentice Hall Inc. 1994).

There are many authors that stated thermal events as did it the writers that I quoted in the previous paragraph; I have found the same mistakes written on reports from NASA, NOA, EPA, etc. Those unintentional faults have been inflated by numerous pseudo-environmentalists and politicians that enforce the erroneous and unreasonable concept of "Greenhouse Gases", “Anthropogenic Global Warming” and “Manmade Climate Change”, closing their eyes before the Laws of Thermodynamics, the Heat Transfer, the Thermal Expansion, the Physical Laws, etc.

The atmosphere is not a “glass”, nor acts like a glass. It is neither a blanket that “reradiates” the heat, or that obstructs the convection. Absolutely not! Far from impede the heat transfer through convection, the gases allow convection.

As all substances, Carbon Dioxide has a capacity to absorb heat from ground and oceans and transform it into kinetic and inner potential energy. Through this transformation from one form of energy into another, the Carbon Dioxide generates heat that is transferred slowly by convection to the upper atmospheric layers. After transferred, the heat is released from the highest atmospheric layers to the outer space (Heat Sink). However, we have understood that the current concentration of Carbon Dioxide is not the source of “Global Warming”. We would need about 1200 ppmv to rise the Earth’s surface temperature up to 0.5 °C.

The terrestrial atmosphere is a stratum formed by a mixture of gases (air) that wraps the Earth and is retained by Earth’s gravity.

The atmosphere stratifies by means of density and temperature. Nitrogen and Oxygen are the predominant constituents in all layers, but each layer is less dense than the previous layer, starting up from the troposphere which is the denser layer (density = magnitude of mass per unit of volume; for example, the density of liquid water is 1 Kg per liter).

The quantity of mass of air per unit of volume decreases as the altitude increases. At the sea level and at 288.2 K (15.2 °C or 59.36 °F), the density of air in the troposphere is 1.225 Kg/m+e3 and its thermal conductivity is 0.02596 W/m/degree Kelvin.

However, like all materials, when gases warm up their density decreases because their molecules vibrate faster and are scattered (expansion). Thus, the volume of air is enlarged to a maximum value, but its density decreases because its molecules distribute in a greater volume. If the gas expansion were not feasible, then the pressure exerted by the gas would increase; for example, inside a closed container or into the cylinders of a modern engine.
