Well it also covers all of the sub-systems on the aircraft as well, from countermeasures to communications down to how to evacuate the aircraft toilet waste.
The information in that manual is probably spread over the domain of 100's of people all performing different roles. I don't think their is any expectation that one single human would read the entirety.
Kinda like your car manual or university textbook. I've never read mine from cover to cover, but it is a useful reference sometimes. Particularly in the case of Air Force One where I doubt an internet search covers most troubleshooting requirements.
Seems novel in that they are combining the best of current rotary atomizers and electrostatic guns, and removing the need for compressed air.
If you look at current electrostatic guns, they mostly seem to use compressed air to atomize the paint. Rotary atomizers still use air to direct the paint to the surface.
So they get better transfer efficiency through electrostatics, and the rotary atomizer part probably allows them to use paints with lower VOCs further reducing emissions.
That said it does look like there already exists rotary atomizers that also use electrostatics. But also still use air.
In terms of a general statement, its a bit misleading to state that sintered metal gears retain the improved strength of traditional metal gears. They are a lot stronger than plastic gears, but in the majority of cases (particularly in hand power tools), they do not have the strength of traditional machined gears.
Read the sentence immediately preceding the one you quoted, her reasoning is to "bask in a glorious downhill". She needs the full width of the road to give a larger margin of error due to speed and to maximize her enjoyment.
A simple considerate solution would be to slow down and pull over.
The crux of the issue is that people of every persuasion, be it cyclist or driver, would never consider inconveniencing themselves or sacrificing their enjoyment for the good of others. i.e. they are selfish.
I cycle and also occasionally tow (which puts me in the group of annoying slow road users). My frustration with these type of articles is they only ever ask for the road to be shared, but do not share the road themselves. As a slower road user you should also be considerate of other road users. An example would be when towing and driving at a more sedate pace, when it comes to passing lanes - SLOW DOWN - to allow the pile up of cars behind you to pass. However most people simply maintain their speed, ignorant of the building frustration behind them. By slowing down you might add 30seconds to your travel time, but give 10-20 people back minutes to their travel time (a net win for society!).
In this case if the cyclist periodically slowed down and moved to the shoulder when going downhill (or in general), the pile up of cars and frustration might be mitigated.
"Through my eyeglass-mounted mirror, I watch cars inevitably pile up behind me. When the terrain flattens out and I move back to the shoulder, a stream of cars pass me."
I'd argue that the pool noodle may have unintended consequences, and will most likely increase road rage. It seems to scream EMPOWERMENT ("taking back the road"), but I think it leans more towards SELFISH BITCH.
