Special food and turbochargers



This week our parents have come to visit us from Menorca. They have come to celebrate my partner's birthday, mine and my father's. On Saturday morning I had to get up very early to go to the airport to pick them up.This time, and as we celebrated our birthday, we went to a restaurant located in the center of Palma, but there are others like it all over the island.We went to “la casa gallega", all the food they make is very good. For the amount of food they give you and the quality, the price is good. The dish that I liked the most was a grilled sirloin that was delicious. When we finished eating we went for a walk in Palma and some shops there. The same day, my parents returned to Menorca. The rest of the days, it has been bad weather and we have not left home, and we have taken the opportunity to study module 7 and cook some special dishes. One day I made chocolate with churros that were great.
On Sunday I made a seafood paella that was also very good and for dinner “typical Mexican burritos”.
When I am at home and in bad weather I love to cook. In Globalia training we have been dismantling the combustion heater of the turbocommander. It’s a system that heats the air we use to pressurize the plane, using a fuel burner. Dismantling was very easy, but to mount, due to the placement of the burner, it was a difficult job. This week, our group will begin to disassemble the turbochargers of the “convair coronado" we have on test benches.
In the theory classes, we are still with Fernando Arruego, but at the end of the week we return to the pneumatic and hydraulic part with Jose Miguel.

Racing drones

A Drone is a flying device controlled remotely by a person or a program to develop many types of functions. There are many types of drones but my favorites are the racing drones. These devices are controlled by people who use a control with two joysticks and glasses where you can see in real time what is in front of the drone. Be careful if you are a person with vertigo or fear of speed. The device is normally built by four high performance electric motors that provide support and addressability to the device; a battery that gives electrical energy; a camera that allows you to control the drone as if you were inside and some circuits that control the motors and send the video signal to the glasses. There are a variety of forms of these devices: with more engines, with steerable propellers or even amphibious water-air. They are devices that don't allow a great time of flight, but can reach speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour. Their flight range doesn't reach a kilometer aw...

Sushi and bad weather

This week, my in-laws they planned to come a few days to visit Mallorca and be with my girlfriend and me. Due to weather forecasts, they changed the day of arrival and advanced the trip a few days. From what they said on the news, it was going to rain a lot this week and the wind was going to blow very hard. These days we went to eat at two restaurants. The burguer Doze, is a small restaurant in Llucmajor that makes a very good burgers at a good price; or to kiyomi sushi, which is a Japanese food restaurant that has a menu where you can choose everything you want with a fixed price. The sushi is of very good quality and the entrees are very good. My in-laws left to Menorca a day before the storm began. This storm was announced well in advance, as it could cause a lot of damage to coastal areas and flood areas. Finally there have been waves up to 14 meters high and winds of up to 120 kilometers per hour. It has been days of staying at home in the afternoon. In the practice hours in Glob...
