  2. Blocked rotor test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocked_rotor_test

    It is also known as short-circuit test (because it is the mechanical analogy of a transformer short-circuit test), [1] locked rotor test or stalled torque test. [2] From this test, short-circuit current at normal voltage , power factor on short circuit, total leakage reactance , and starting torque of the motor can be found.

  3. AP Human Geography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Human_Geography

    Advanced Placement (AP) Human Geography (also known as AP Human Geo, AP Geography, APHG, AP HuGe, APHug, AP Human, HuGS, AP HuGo, or HGAP) is an Advanced Placement social studies course in human geography for high school, usually freshmen students in the US, culminating in an exam administered by the College Board. [1]

  4. APAF1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APAF1

    Apoptotic protease activating factor 1, also known as APAF1, is a human homolog of C. elegans CED-4 gene. [5] [6] [7] Function.

  5. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage .

  6. Loss of tail-rotor effectiveness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_of_tail-rotor...

    Loss of tail-rotor effectiveness (LTE) [1] occurs when the tail rotor of a helicopter is exposed to wind forces that prevent it from carrying out its function—that of cancelling the torque of the engine and transmission. Any low-airspeed high-power environment provides an opportunity for it to occur.

  7. Electromagnetic clutch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_clutch

    The rotor portion of the clutch becomes magnetized and sets up a magnetic loop that attracts the armature. The armature is pulled against the rotor and a frictional force is generated at contact. Within a relatively short time, the load is accelerated to match the speed of the rotor, thereby engaging the armature and the output hub of the clutch.

  8. Lock number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_number

    Typical rotorcraft blades have a Lock number between 3 and 12, [4] usually approximately 8. [5] The Lock number is typically 8 to 10 for articulated rotors and 5 to 7 for hingeless rotors. [3]: 186 High-stiffness blades may have a Lock number up to 14. [4] Larger blades have a higher mass and more inertia, so tend to have a lower Lock number.

  9. Yaw system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaw_system

    The necessary yawing torque was created by means of animal power, human power or even wind power (implementation of an auxiliary rotor known as fantail). Vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) do not need a yaw system since their vertical rotors can face the wind from any direction and only their self rotation gives the blades a clear direction of ...
