Post and Beam Homes – Old World Look In A Modern Home
Post and Beam Homes feature vertical, load bearing round logs or square timbers which support the main framework of the home including upper beams and joists.
As opposed to standard platform framing construction, the logs of post and beam homes are not connected together with metal fasteners.
Instead, post and beam home construction uses tenons and mortises which are custom shaped at the joint locations to fit together and form a strong connection.
The appeal of post and beam homes for consumers is the beautifully crafted, old world look that can be produced both inside and outside of the home.
The strength and stability of post and beam homes has been proven simply by the sheer number of these magnificent structures that are over a century old and still standing today.
Rather than hiding the structural framework as is done in many stick frame houses, Post and Beam Home Designs allow for an elegant interior display of the structural framework which can add rich beauty to the living environment.
Many of the log characteristics are retained and used to accent the living space. Post and beam home construction allows for an interior with wide open expanses and tall ceilings, which is difficult to replicate using conventional home construction methods.
Homeowners also have the option to find and purchase pre-designed Post and Beam Home Plans or to customize post and beam plans to include their own preferences in the final layout.
Post and beam homes also offer one of the fastest forms of home construction available.
The framing concept is simple. Every portion of the post and beam framework is preassembled at an outside location and then the pieces are transported to the site for assembly.
Once on site, the home's posts and beams can be connected together easily because the tenon and mortise joint connections have been pre-milled offsite.
In addition to the solid connections provided by the tenon and mortise system, diagonal braces are usually added to give a post and beam house excellent lateral resistance to wind.
The large logs and timbers used in post and beam homes give great strength and visual interest along with their load bearing capacity.
With proper construction, a post and beam house can be very energy efficient. Insulation panel sections can be pre-designed and added to the building walls to form a seal that prevents cold air from penetrating the interior environment.
Annual or semi-annual inspection of the roof is important to keep the elements out. Sealing of exterior wood surfaces at predetermined intervals, often two or three years, will ensure a long lasting service life for your post and beam home.
Proper care for a post and beam house will allow the structure to have an indefinite life span.

Gaussian Beam $95.59 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In optics, a Gaussian beam is a beam of electromagnetic radiation whose transverse electric field and intensity distributions are described by Gaussian functions. Many lasers emit beams with a Gaussian profile, in which case the laser is said to be operating on the fundamental transverse mode, or TEM00 mode of the lasers optical resonator. When refracted by a lens, a Gaussian beam is transformed into another Gaussian beam, which explains why it is a convenient, widespread model in laser optics. The mathematical function that describes the Gaussian beam is a solution to the paraxial form of the Helmholtz equation. The solution, in the form of a Gaussian function, represents the complex amplitude of the electric field, which propagates along with the corresponding magnetic field as an electromagnetic wave in the beam.

Beam Engine $71.7 A beam engine is a design of engine based on the principles of a firstclass lever. A force is applied to one end of a beam, which is pivoted in the middle, and the lever action transfers the force to create work at the other end of the beam.The most familiar example is the type of stationary steam engine used for pumping water from mines. Here the piston of a verticallymounted cylinder is attached to one end of the beam, to apply the force through upward and/or downward motion. The other end of the beam is connected to a verticallyacting pump. A downward pull on the piston causes the other end of the beam to lift whatever is attached to it, thereby doing work.
