The wagon-wheel effect is exploited in some engineering tasks, such as adjusting the timing of an engine. This is also done in some turntables for vinyl records. Since the pitch of music reproduction depends on rotation speed, these models have regular markings on the side of the rotating platter.
Backspin (upper surface rotating backwards from the direction of movement) on a golf ball causes a vertical force that counteracts the force of gravity slightly, and enables the ball to remain airborne a little longer than it would were the ball not spinning: this allows the ball to travel farther than a ball not spinning about its horizontal axis.
Wheels can also lose traction when surface conditions reduce available traction such as on snow and ice. As an open differential delivers only enough torque to cause the "weakest" wheel to spin, if one drive wheel is stationary on a low traction surface (mud, ice, etc.), the deliverable torque is limited to the traction available on it.
Stroboscopic effect is one of the particular temporal light artefacts.In common lighting applications, the stroboscopic effect is an unwanted effect which may become visible if a person is looking at a moving or rotating object which is illuminated by a time-modulated light source.
This is one of the oldest techniques in the book: Acceleration uses energy, whether you're driving a gasoline-powered vehicle or an EV. And the harder you accelerate, the more energy your vehicle ...
A burnout (also known as a peel out, power brake, or brakestand) is the practice of keeping a vehicle stationary and spinning its wheels, the resultant friction causing the tires to heat up and smoke. While the burnout gained widespread popularity in California, it was first created by Buddy Houston, his brother Melson and David Tatum II at Ted ...
Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar emphasized Sunday the importance of FBI background checks for Trump's Cabinet nominees, which she said was necessary for their confirmation. "I want to make ...
That puts OPEC+ in a tight spot. Members are losing market share by postponing production increases, yet turning on the taps will put downward pressure on prices.
