  2. Binary cam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_cam

    The binary cam is a design for the pulley system of a compound bow. Craig Yehle, director of research and development at Bowtech Archery, received a patent [ 1 ] for the design on December 11, 2007. Bowtech started equipping its bows with the new cam design in the 2005 model year.

  3. Bow shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_shape

    The compound bow, not to be confused with a composite bow, is a modern bow that uses a levering system, usually of cables and pulleys, to bend the limbs. The limbs of a compound bow are much stiffer than those of a recurve bow or longbow. This limb stiffness makes the compound bow more energy-efficient than other bows, in conjunction with the ...

  4. Compound bow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_bow

    In modern archery, a compound bow is a bow that uses a levering system, usually of cables and pulleys, to bend the limbs. [1] The compound bow was first developed in 1966 by Holless Wilbur Allen in North Kansas City, Missouri, and a US patent was granted in 1969. Compound bows are widely used in target practice and hunting.

    A connector attached to a bow's riser to allow a rear stabilizer to be attached. An alternate term for "siderod". back tension release (equipment) – see "hinge release" back wall – The point of a compound bow's draw cycle beyond which the bow cannot be drawn. barebow (equipment) – A bow with no accessories attached.

  6. Bohr model of the chemical bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohr_model_of_the_chemical...

    The Bohr model of the chemical bond took into account the Coulomb repulsion - the electrons in the ring are at the maximum distance from each other. [2] Thus, according to this model, the methane molecule is a regular tetrahedron, in which center the carbon nucleus locates, and in the corners - the nucleus of hydrogen. The chemical bond between ...

  7. Holless Wilbur Allen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holless_Wilbur_Allen

    In the 1960s, he sawed the ends off a conventional recurve bow and then added pulleys to each end. [1] Allen experimented with a number of designs to apply for a patent on June 23, 1966, [2] and U.S. patent 3,486,495 was granted to him in December 1969. With the help of bowmaker Tom Jennings, he became the first manufacturer of compound bows ...

  8. Composite bow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_bow

    A composite bow is a traditional bow made from horn, wood, and sinew laminated together, a form of laminated bow. The horn is on the belly, facing the archer, and sinew on the outer side of a wooden core. When the bow is drawn, the sinew (stretched on the outside) and horn (compressed on the inside) store more energy than wood for the same ...

  9. Electron configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_configuration

    His proposals were based on the then current Bohr model of the atom, in which the electron shells were orbits at a fixed distance from the nucleus. Bohr's original configurations would seem strange to a present-day chemist: sulfur was given as 2.4.4.6 instead of 1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 3s 2 3p 4 (2.8.6). Bohr used 4 and 6 following Alfred Werner's 1893 ...
