  2. Locomotive wheelslip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locomotive_wheelslip

    The greatest effort is required from a locomotive when starting. At this time, if the engineer applies too much power to the wheels (i.e., for a steam locomotive, the engineer opens the regulator too far) the turning force applied to the wheel will greatly exceed the opposing friction force affected by the surface of the rail, and the wheel will turn without being able to move the train forward.

  5. Tank steering systems - Wikipedia

    Turning the steering wheel displaced the bogies to the left or right inducing a modest turn. Further turning of the wheel engaged braking on one side or the other. The Light Tank Mk VII Tetrarch used a similar system but the front wheels and two middle wheels on either side pivoted to induce the warp. [7]

    Smiley left the pits to start his qualifying run. On his second (of two) warm up laps, he approached turn three. The back-end of the #35 Intermedics March 81C-Cosworth became loose, and Smiley over-corrected. The front wheels suddenly gained traction, the car turned and crashed head-on into the concrete wall at about 200 mph (320 km/h).

  9. Ophanim - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophanim

    The four wheels move with the Cherubim because the spirit of the Cherubim is in them. The late Second Book of Enoch (20:1, 21:1) also referred to them as the " many-eyed ones ". The First Book of Enoch (71.7) seems to imply that the Ophanim are equated to the " Thrones " in Christianity when it lists them all together, in order: "...round about ...
