  2. Sarich orbital engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarich_orbital_engine

    The Sarich orbital engine is a type of internal combustion engine, invented in 1972 by Ralph Sarich, an engineer from Perth, Australia, which features orbital rather than reciprocating motion of its central piston.

    Tilting side to side on the X-axis. Tilting forward and backward on the Y-axis. Turning left and right on the Z-axis. In terms of a headset, such as the kind used for virtual reality, rotational envelopes can also be thought of in the following terms: Pitch: Nodding "yes" Yaw: Shaking "no" Roll: Bobbling from side to side

  5. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Engine balance refers to how the inertial forces produced by moving parts in an internal combustion engine or steam engine are neutralised with counterweights and balance shafts, to prevent unpleasant and potentially damaging vibration. The strongest inertial forces occur at crankshaft speed (first-order forces) and balance is mandatory, while ...

  6. Spacecraft flight dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_flight_dynamics

    The principles of flight dynamics are used to model a vehicle's powered flight during launch from the Earth; a spacecraft's orbital flight; maneuvers to change orbit; translunar and interplanetary flight; launch from and landing on a celestial body, with or without an atmosphere; entry through the atmosphere of the Earth or other celestial body ...

  7. Rotation around a fixed axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotation_around_a_fixed_axis

    Rotation around a fixed axis or axial rotation is a special case of rotational motion around an axis of rotation fixed, stationary, or static in three-dimensional space.This type of motion excludes the possibility of the instantaneous axis of rotation changing its orientation and cannot describe such phenomena as wobbling or precession.

    In 1998, Sarich reported that Orbital Engine Corporation had entered into a non–exclusive licensing agreement with Ford to develop and test a pilot for the manufacture of the orbital engine. [11] In January 1992, General Motors displayed its newest concept car called the "Ultralite", incorporating OCP technology, as its centrepiece at the ...

    where is the lower or upper wheel position (rad), is the phase angle (rad), is the mass of wheel, is the motor shaft input speed (rpm) and is the force transfer coefficient. Gyratory equipment is only invalid if two or more materials to be separated are finer than 4 μm , which varies with different machine dimensions.
