Researchers created a system that enables makers to incorporate sensors directly into rotational mechanisms with only one pass in a 3D printer. This gives rotational mechanisms like gearboxes the ...

Rotating turbulence dynamics encompasses the study of chaotic fluid motions under the influence of rotation, a field that is pivotal for understanding phenomena in geophysical and astrophysical ...

Astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli and Loral O'Hara ventured outside the International Space Station Wednesday to replace a bearing assembly in one of the lab's solar array rotation mechanisms. But the task ...

Consider the mechanism shown below made up of a continuously-rotating input drive centered at C (shown on the right) and an output drive centered on O (shown on the left). A pin P is attached to the ...

Consider the mechanism shown below made up of moveable links AB, BD and slider D. Link AB is rotating CCW at a constant rate. Point C is the center of rotation for BD, where point C is at the ...

Integrating sensors into rotational mechanisms could make it possible for engineers to build smart hinges that know when a door has been opened, or gears inside a motor that tell a mechanic how fast ...
