  2. Screwball Scramble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screwball_Scramble

    By turning a dial the player must pick the ball up from the platform using the magnetic crane and deposit it on the parallel bars. The parallel bars are two metal rods on which the ball sits. By moving these rods apart with a lever, the ball can be made to roll along the rods. If the rods are opened too far, however, the ball will fall through.

  3. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Magnetic levitation can be stabilised using different techniques; here rotation (spin) is used. Magnetic levitation (maglev) or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. Magnetic force is used to counteract the effects of the gravitational force and any other forces. [2]

  4. Crane (machine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crane_(machine)

    A crane is a machine used to move materials both vertically and horizontally, utilizing a system of a boom, hoist, wire ropes or chains, and sheaves for lifting and relocating heavy objects within the swing of its boom. The device uses one or more simple machines, such as the lever and pulley, to create mechanical advantage to do its work.

  5. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...

  6. Magnetic switchable device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_switchable_device

    A magnetic switchable device (often called a magnetic base) is a magnetic fixture that uses one or more permanent magnets in a configuration that allows the external field to be turned on or off. They are used in many applications including optics , metalworking , lifting , and robotics, to attach items to metal surfaces in a secure but ...

  8. Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin-stabilized_magnetic...

    Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation whereby a spinning magnet or array of magnets (typically as a top) is levitated via magnetic forces above another magnet or array of magnets, and stabilised by gyroscopic effect due to a spin rate that is neither too fast, nor too slow to allow for a necessary precession.

  9. Electric overhead traveling crane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_overhead...

    An EOT crane is able to carry heavy objects to anywhere needed on the factory floor and can also be used for lifting. However, it cannot be used in every industry. The working temperature is to limited to a range between -20°C to 40°C. With capacities ranging from 1-100 tons, our EOT cranes ensure precise load control and smooth operation.
