  2. Ceiling fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceiling_fan

    Contrary to popular misconception, wobbling alone will not cause a ceiling fan to fall. [26] Ceiling fans are secured by clevis pins locked with either split pins or R-clips, so wobbling will not have an effect on the fan's security, unless of course, the pins/clips were not secured. To date, there are no reports of a fan wobbling itself off ...

  3. Spark-gap transmitter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spark-gap_transmitter

    The current creates an oscillating magnetic field around the antenna, while the voltage creates an oscillating electric field. These oscillating fields radiate away from the antenna into space as an electromagnetic wave; a radio wave. The energy in the resonant circuit is limited to the amount of energy originally stored in the capacitor.

  4. Cam (mechanism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    The cam can be seen as a device that converts rotational motion to reciprocating (or sometimes oscillating) motion. [clarification needed] [3] A common example is the camshaft of an automobile, which takes the rotary motion of the engine and converts it into the reciprocating motion necessary to operate the intake and exhaust valves of the cylinders.

  5. Aircraft dynamic modes - Wikipedia

    To get back to straight-and-level, the recovery must get rid of this excess energy safely. The sequence is: power all off; level wings to the horizon, or if horizon has been lost, to the instruments; reduce speed using gentle back pressure on the controls until desired speed is reached

  6. Centrifugal fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_fan

    A centrifugal fan is a mechanical device for moving air or other gases in a direction at an angle to the incoming fluid. Centrifugal fans often contain a ducted housing to direct outgoing air in a specific direction or across a heat sink; such a fan is also called a blower, blower fan, or squirrel-cage fan (because it looks like a hamster wheel).

  7. Stokes problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stokes_problem

    The case for an oscillating far-field flow, with the plate held at rest, can easily be constructed from the previous solution for an oscillating plate by using linear superposition of solutions. Consider a uniform velocity oscillation u ( ∞ , t ) = U ∞ cos ⁡ ω t {\displaystyle u(\infty ,t)=U_{\infty }\cos \omega t} far away from the ...

  8. Lasko - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasko

    Lasko Andonovski (born 1991), Macedonian handball player; Lech Łasko (born 1956), Polish volleyball player; Léo Lasko (1885–1949), German screenwriter and film director; Michał Łasko (born 1981), Italian volleyball player; Miss Lasko-Gross (born 1977), American comics creator; Peter Lasko (1924–2003), British art historian

  9. Low-frequency oscillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-frequency_oscillation

    When routed to control pitch, an LFO creates vibrato. When an LFO modulates amplitude (volume), it creates tremolo . On most synthesizers and sound modules, LFOs feature several controllable parameters, which often include a variety of different waveforms , a rate control, routing options (as described above), a tempo sync feature, and an ...
