  2. Zoetrope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoetrope

    The stroboscopic effect makes each seem to be a single animated object. By allowing the rotation speed to be slightly out of synchronization with the strobe, the animated objects can be made to appear to also move slowly forwards or backwards, according to how much faster or slower each rotation is than the corresponding series of strobe flashes.

  3. Tusi couple - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tusi_couple

    The Tusi couple (also known as Tusi's mechanism [1] [2] [3]) is a mathematical device in which a small circle rotates inside a larger circle twice the diameter of the smaller circle. Rotations of the circles cause a point on the circumference of the smaller circle to oscillate back and forth in linear motion along a diameter of the larger circle.

  4. File:Spinning Scroll Animation looped.webm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spinning_Scroll...

    English: A spinning scroll (often called a "co-rotating scroll") is a device that can be used as a compressor, expander, or vacuum pump. This animation demonstrates the unique rotary motion during operation.

  5. Throbber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber

    A throbber animation like that seen on many websites when a blocking action is being performed in the background. A throbber, also known as a loading icon, is an animated graphical control element used to show that a computer program is performing an action in the background (such as downloading content, conducting intensive calculations or communicating with an external device).

  6. Phenakistiscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenakistiscope

    Joseph Plateau created a combination of his phénakisticope and his Anorthoscope sometime between 1844 and 1849, resulting in a back-lit transparent disc with a sequence of figures that are animated when it is rotated behind a counter-rotating black disc with four illuminated slits, spinning four times as fast. Unlike the phénakisticope ...

    Animation of Watt's Linkage An animation of Roberts Linkage. Sarrus Linkage. Parts of the same color are the same dimensions. Peaucellier-Lipkin Inversor. Links of the same color are the same length. A straight-line mechanism is a mechanism that converts any type of rotary or angular motion to perfect or near-perfect straight-line motion, or ...

  9. Circular motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_motion

    Considering that the object is a person sitting inside a plane moving in a circle, the two forces (weight and normal force) will point down only when the plane reaches the top of the circle. The reason for this is that the normal force is the sum of the tangential force and centripetal force.
