  2. Clockwise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwise

    Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW) proceeds in the same direction as a clock's hands relative to the observer: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English ) anticlockwise ( ACW ) or (in North American English ) counterclockwise ( CCW ...

    Counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation version of -00 14AB-02 CW, 680 hp (510 kW) at 2,400 rpm at 3,500 m (11,500 ft) 14AB-03 CCW version of -02 14AB-10

  4. Bacterial motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_motility

    CCW rotation of the flagellar motors leads to flagellar bundle formation that pushes the cell in a forward run, parallel to the long axis of the cell. CW rotation disassembles the bundle and the cell rotates randomly (tumbling). After the tumbling event, straight swimming is recovered in a new direction. [53]

  5. Run-and-tumble motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Run-and-tumble_motion

    [9] [8] In the model organisms Escherichia coli and Salmonella, bacteria swim in a random pattern produced by alternating counterclockwise (CCW) and clockwise (CW) flagellar rotation. Chemoreceptors detect attractants or repellents and stimulate responses through a signalling cascade that controls the direction of the flagellar motor.

  6. Rotation matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_matrix

    Noting that any identity matrix is a rotation matrix, and that matrix multiplication is associative, we may summarize all these properties by saying that the n × n rotation matrices form a group, which for n > 2 is non-abelian, called a special orthogonal group, and denoted by SO(n), SO(n,R), SO n, or SO n (R), the group of n × n rotation ...

  7. Quadcopter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadcopter

    Each rotor produces both lift and torque about its center of rotation, as well as drag opposite to the vehicle's direction of flight. Quadcopters generally have two rotors spinning clockwise (CW) and two counterclockwise (CCW). Flight control is provided by independent variation of the speed and hence lift and torque of each rotor.

  8. Shaded-pole motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaded-pole_motor

    The shaded-pole motor is the original type of AC single-phase electric motor, dating back to at least as early as 1890. [1] A shaded-pole motor is a motor, in which the auxiliary winding is composed of a copper ring or bar surrounding a portion of each pole to produce a weakly rotating magnetic field . [ 2 ]

  9. Points of the compass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Points_of_the_compass

    The "CW" column gives the fractional-point bearings increasing in the clockwise direction and "CCW" counterclockwise. The final three columns show three common naming conventions: No "by" avoids the use of "by" with fractional points. Colour coding shows whether each of the three naming systems matches the "CW" or "CCW" column.
