Motorsport exposes engineering fast.
Heat, vibration and repeated loading aren’t edge cases — they’re normal. When something moves that shouldn’t, it shows up at speed.
Twister Fastener™ is designed for applications where vibration is part of life and clamp stability matters over time.
Motorsport doesn’t create these challenges — it just makes them visible.

Mark organizes all of his loose screws... and nuts, bolts, nails - you get the idea.
I'm working through bins of hardware, trying to combine what I already had with a trove my Dad gave me.
Interestingly enough, I found that sorting it tickles the same part of my brain that working on a jigsaw puzzle does.
🪝 Researchers develop hook-and-loop fastener for building components

An interdisciplinary research team at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has developed a hook-and-loop fastening system for buildings in the ReCon project together with company partners. This allows different parts of a building to be resiliently connected and, if necessary, easily separated from each other.
