It is also known as short-circuit test (because it is the mechanical analogy of a transformer short-circuit test), [1] locked rotor test or stalled torque test. [2] From this test, short-circuit current at normal voltage, power factor on short circuit, total leakage reactance, and starting torque of the motor can be found.
Advanced Placement (AP) Human Geography (also known as AP Human Geo, AP Geography, APHG, AP HuGe, APHug, AP Human, HuGS, AP HuGo, or HGAP) is an Advanced Placement social studies course in human geography for high school, usually freshmen students in the US, culminating in an exam administered by the College Board.

Typical rotorcraft blades have a Lock number between 3 and 12, [4] usually approximately 8. [5] The Lock number is typically 8 to 10 for articulated rotors and 5 to 7 for hingeless rotors. [3]: 186 High-stiffness blades may have a Lock number up to 14. [4] Larger blades have a higher mass and more inertia, so tend to have a lower Lock number.
An induction motor or asynchronous motor is an AC electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor that produces torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction from the magnetic field of the stator winding. [1] An induction motor therefore needs no electrical connections to the rotor.
Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage .
A locked differential can provide a significant traction advantage over an open differential, but only when the traction under each wheel differs significantly. All of the above applies to central differentials as well as to those in each axle: full-time four-wheel-drive vehicles have three differentials, one in each axle, and a central one ...
Main rotor disk vortex interference Weathercock stability Tail rotor vortex ring state. Loss of tail-rotor effectiveness (LTE) [1] occurs when the tail rotor of a helicopter is exposed to wind forces that prevent it from carrying out its function—that of cancelling the torque of the engine and transmission. Any low-airspeed high-power ...
It is determined by dividing the total helicopter weight by the rotor disk area, which is the area swept by the blades of a rotor. Disk area can be found by using the span of one rotor blade as the radius of a circle and then determining the area the blades encompass during a complete rotation.
