  2. Differential pulley - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_pulley

    The mechanical advantage at the differential sprocket pair equals ⁠ P 1 / P 1 − P 2 ⁠. Because there is a traveling pulley at the load, this doubles the mechanical advantage of the fixed (anchored) sprocket assembly, leading to a total mechanical advantage of 2 × ⁠ P 1 / P 1 − P 2 ⁠ .

  3. List of trigonometric identities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_trigonometric...

    A formula for computing the trigonometric identities for the one-third angle exists, but it requires finding the zeroes of the cubic equation 4x 3 − 3x + d = 0, where is the value of the cosine function at the one-third angle and d is the known value of the cosine function at the full angle.

  4. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot. The location of the fulcrum determines a lever's class. Where a lever rotates continuously, it functions as a rotary second-class lever. The motion of the lever's end-point describes a fixed orbit, where mechanical energy can be exchanged.

  5. Hoist (mining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_(mining)

    A drum hoist (steel wire rope visible) and motor. In underground mining a hoist or winder [1] is used to raise and lower conveyances within the mine shaft.Modern hoists are normally powered using electric motors, historically with direct current drives utilizing Ward Leonard control machines and later solid-state converters (), although modern large hoists use alternating current drives that ...

  6. Hoist (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoist_(device)

    Hoist atop an elevator. A hoist is a device used for lifting or lowering a load by means of a drum or lift-wheel around which rope or chain wraps. It may be manually operated, electrically or pneumatically driven and may use chain, fiber or wire rope as its lifting medium.

  7. Gresley conjugated valve gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresley_conjugated_valve_gear

    The longer 2 to 1 Lever is located on the right side of the locomotive, and the shorter Equal Lever on the left side. The Gresley conjugated gear is effectively an adding machine, where the position of the valve for the inside cylinder is the sum of the positions of the two outside cylinders, but reversed in direction.

  8. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    For example, for rod length 6" and crank radius 2", numerically solving the above equation finds the velocity minima (maximum downward speed) to be at crank angle of 73.17615° after TDC. Then, using the triangle sine law , it is found that the crank to connecting rod angle is 88.21738° and the connecting rod angle is 18.60647° from vertical ...

  9. Lewis (lifting appliance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_(lifting_appliance)

    The name lewis may come from the Latin levo -avi, -atum meaning to levitate or lift, [1] but the Oxford English Dictionary Online [2] states, "the formation and the phonology are not easily explained on this hypothesis", preferring "origin obscure", and speculating that the term may derive from a personal name.
