  2. Pelton wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelton_wheel

    The Pelton wheel or Pelton Turbine is an impulse -type water turbine invented by American inventor Lester Allan Pelton in the 1870s. [1][2] The Pelton wheel extracts energy from the impulse of moving water, as opposed to water's dead weight like the traditional overshot water wheel. Many earlier variations of impulse turbines existed, but they ...

  3. Water turbine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_turbine

    The water from the mill race entered the pit tangentially, creating a swirling water column which made the fully submerged wheel act like a true turbine. [1] Fausto Veranzio in his book Machinae Novae (1595) described a vertical axis mill with a rotor similar to that of a Francis turbine. [2]

  4. Flywheel energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flywheel_energy_storage

    It used a carbon fiber rim with a titanium hub designed to spin at 60,000 rpm, mounted on magnetic bearings. Weight was limited to 250 pounds (110 kilograms). Storage was 525 Wh (1.89 MJ) and could be charged or discharged at 1 kW (1.3 hp), leading to a specific energy of 5.31 W⋅h/kg and power density of 10.11 W/kg. [36]

  5. History of perpetual motion machines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_perpetual...

    Early designs of perpetual motion machines were done by Indian mathematician–astronomer Bhaskara II, who described a wheel (Bhāskara's wheel) that he claimed would run forever. [2] A drawing of a perpetual motion machine appeared in the sketchbook of Villard de Honnecourt, a 13th-century French master mason and architect.

  6. Free-piston engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-piston_engine

    Free-piston engine used as a gas generator to drive a turbine. A free-piston engine is a linear, 'crankless' internal combustion engine, in which the piston motion is not controlled by a crankshaft but determined by the interaction of forces from the combustion chamber gases, a rebound device (e.g., a piston in a closed cylinder) and a load device (e.g. a gas compressor or a linear alternator).

  7. Artificial gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_gravity

    Artificial gravity is the creation of an inertial force that mimics the effects of a gravitational force, usually by rotation. [1] Artificial gravity, or rotational gravity, is thus the appearance of a centrifugal force in a rotating frame of reference (the transmission of centripetal acceleration via normal force in the non-rotating frame of ...

  8. Water wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_wheel

    A water wheel is a machine for converting the energy of flowing or falling water into useful forms of power, often in a watermill. A water wheel consists of a wheel (usually constructed from wood or metal), with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving car. Water wheels were still in commercial use well into ...

  9. Water power engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_power_engine

    Hydro power is generated when the natural force from the water's current moves a device (fan, propeller, wheel) that is pushed by the force of the water. Ordinary water weighs 8.36 lbs per gallon (1 kg per liter). [citation needed] The force make the turbine mechanism spin, creating electricity. As long as there is flow, it is possible to ...
