  2. Helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

    The pitch of a helix is the height of one complete helix turn, measured parallel to the axis of the helix. A double helix consists of two (typically congruent) helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis. [3] A circular helix (i.e. one with constant radius) has constant band curvature and constant torsion. The slope of ...

  3. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used.

  4. Lead (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(engineering)

    In these screws, the lead is equal to the pitch multiplied by the number of "starts". Lead angle is the angle between the helix and a plane of rotation. It is the complement of the helix angle, and is used for convenience in worms and hobs. It is understood to be at the standard pitch diameter unless otherwise specified.

    the plane normal to the pitch helix at side of tooth; the plane normal to the pitch helix at center of tooth; the plane normal to the pitch helix at center of space between two teeth; In a spiral bevel gear, one of the positions of a normal plane is at a mean point and the plane is normal to the tooth trace.

  6. Generalized helicoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_helicoid

    The trace of the point is a circular helix (red). It is contained in the surface of a right circular cylinder. Its radius is the distance of point to the z-axis. In case of >, the helix is called right handed; otherwise, it is said to be left handed.

  7. Pitch angle of a spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_angle_of_a_spiral

    In the geometry of spirals, the pitch angle [1] or pitch [2] of a spiral is the angle made by the spiral with a circle through one of its points, centered at the center of the spiral. Equivalently, it is the complementary angle to the angle made by the vector from the origin to a point on the spiral, with the tangent vector of the spiral at the ...

    Shohei Ohtani's dog, Decoy, threw out the first pitch before the Los Angeles Dodgers game on Aug. 28. Watch the moment, including a high-five at the end.

  9. Alpha helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_helix

    The pitch of the alpha-helix (the vertical distance between consecutive turns of the helix) is 5.4 Å (0.54 nm), which is the product of 1.5 and 3.6. The most important thing is that the N-H group of one amino acid forms a hydrogen bond with the C=O group of the amino acid four residues earlier; this repeated i + 4 → i hydrogen bonding is the ...
