  2. Steam locomotive components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_locomotive_components

    The diagram, which is not to scale, is a composite of various designs in the late steam era. Some components shown are not the same as, or are not present, on some locomotives – for example, on smaller or articulated types. Conversely, some locomotives have components not listed here.

  3. Linkage (mechanical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linkage_(mechanical)

    An extended scissor lift. The movement of an ideal joint is generally associated with a subgroup of the group of Euclidean displacements. The number of parameters in the subgroup is called the degrees of freedom (DOF) of the joint. Mechanical linkages are usually designed to transform a given input force and movement into a desired output force ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partek

    Partek Ski Lifts, commonly known as Partek, is a chairlift manufacturer based in Pine Island, New York. It was founded in 1996 as the successor to Borvig, who went out of business in 1993. The company was founded by Hagen Schulz, the son of Borvig's President Gary Schulz. The company was also the official parts distributor for Borvig lifts.

  5. Circuit diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_diagram

    A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.

  6. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    A free body diagram is not a scaled drawing, it is a diagram. The symbols used in a free body diagram depends upon how a body is modeled. [6] Free body diagrams consist of: A simplified version of the body (often a dot or a box) Forces shown as straight arrows pointing in the direction they act on the body

  7. Block and tackle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_and_tackle

    Diagram 3 shows three rope parts supporting the load W, which means the tension in the rope is W/3. Thus, the mechanical advantage is three-to-one. By adding a pulley to the fixed block of a gun tackle the direction of the pulling force is reversed though the mechanical advantage remains the same, Diagram 3a. This is an example of the Luff tackle.

  8. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    In the free body diagram above, two other forces are visible Fx and Fy. In order to explain that lets go through the term ∇(B ⃗⋅B ⃗ ) and expand it. Magnetic field density is a vector function displayed like below:

  9. Paternoster lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paternoster_lift

    A paternoster in Prague Paternoster elevator in The Hague, when it was still in operation. A paternoster (/ ˌ p eɪ t ər ˈ n ɒ s t ər /, / ˌ p ɑː-/, or / ˌ p æ-/) or paternoster lift is a passenger elevator which consists of a chain of open compartments (each usually designed for two people) that move slowly in a loop up and down inside a building without stopping.
