  2. Fleming's left-hand rule for motors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleming's_left-hand_rule...

    Fleming's left-hand rule. Fleming's left-hand rule for electric motors is one of a pair of visual mnemonics, the other being Fleming's right-hand rule for generators. [1] [2] [3] They were originated by John Ambrose Fleming, in the late 19th century, as a simple way of working out the direction of motion in an electric motor, or the direction of electric current in an electric generator.

  3. Ideomotor phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideomotor_phenomenon

    A circle of participants press their hands against a table, and the ideomotor effect causes the table to tilt in such a way as to produce a written message, in a manner similar to a ouija board. [1] Faraday's apparatus for experimental demonstration of ideomotor effect on table-turning

  4. Catapult effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catapult_effect

    The idea of the catapult effect is central in our day-to-day lives as it greatly contributes to our understanding of the electric motor (which we use in numerous appliances from washing machines to vacuum cleaners and cars). The catapult effect helps to explain the movement of the motor itself and is thus used widely in science.

  5. Motor unit recruitment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_unit_recruitment

    General depiction of a motor unit, consisting of a motor neuron innervating a group of muscle fibers. Motor unit recruitment is the activation of additional motor units to accomplish an increase in contractile strength in a muscle. [1] A motor unit consists of one motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it stimulates.

  6. Biefeld–Brown effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biefeld–Brown_effect

    However, this effect works using either polarity for the electrodes: the small or thin electrode can be either positive or negative, and the larger electrode must have the opposite polarity. [4] On many experimental sites it is reported that the thrust effect of a lifter is actually a bit stronger when the small electrode is the positive one. [1]

  8. Drafting (aerodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drafting_(aerodynamics)

    Drafting or slipstreaming is an aerodynamic technique where two moving objects are aligning in a close group to exploit the lead object's slipstream and thus reduce the overall effect of drag. Especially when high speeds are involved, as in motor racing and cycling, drafting can significantly reduce the paceline 's average energy expenditure ...
