    The radial thickness of the belt is a compromise between the maximum gear ratio and torque. Steel-reinforced V-belts are sufficient for low-mass, low-torque applications like utility vehicles and snowmobiles, but higher-mass and -torque applications such as automobiles require a chain. Each element of the chain must have conical sides that fit ...

  3. Solar System belts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_System_belts

    Solar System belts are asteroid and comet belts that orbit the Sun in the Solar System in interplanetary space. [1] [2] The Solar System belts' size and placement are mostly a result of the Solar System having four giant planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune far from the sun. The giant planets must be in the correct place, not too close ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halley's_Comet

    The confirmation of the comet's return was the first time anything other than planets had been shown to orbit the Sun. [36] It was also one of the earliest successful tests of Newtonian physics, and a clear demonstration of its explanatory power. [37] The comet was first named in Halley's honour by French astronomer Nicolas-Louis de Lacaille in ...

    2006 VW 139 is a non-family asteroid of the main-belt's background population. [9] It is both a binary asteroid and a main-belt comet, also known as "active asteroid".It orbits the Sun in the outer main-belt at a distance of 2.4–3.7 AU once every 5 years and 4 months (1,944 days; semi-major axis of 3.05 AU).

  6. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    The open belt drive has parallel shafts rotating in the same direction, whereas the cross-belt drive also bears parallel shafts but rotate in opposite direction. The former is far more common, and the latter not appropriate for timing and standard V-belts unless there is a twist between each pulley so that the pulleys only contact the same belt ...

    Basket: it is an optional attachment on a bike and is used for carrying things; Bearing: a device that facilitates rotation by reducing friction; Bell: an audible device for warning pedestrians and other cyclists; Belt-drive: alternative to chain-drive; Bicycle brake cable: see Cable; Bottle cage: a holder for a water bottle

  8. Comet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet

    A comet is an icy, small Solar System body that warms and begins to release gases when passing close to the Sun, a process called outgassing.This produces an extended, gravitationally unbound atmosphere or coma surrounding the nucleus, and sometimes a tail of gas and dust gas blown out from the coma.
