Mechanical energy can be harnessed through technology to make work easier. For example, a wind turbine can convert the mechanical kinetic energy of wind into electrical energy. Additionally, a nuclear power plant converts the nuclear energy of atoms into thermal energy, which is used to turn wate...
Mechanical energy is needed to lift a certain amount of water from a depth of H1 and discharge it to an elevation of H2. If V∘ is the volumetric flow rate of water the mechanical power required for pumping is given by (1)P=γV∘(H1+H2+h)η where P is the power, γ the ...
Each joint of a hydraulic-driven legged robot adopts a highly integrated hydraulic drive unit (HDU), which features a high power–weight ratio. However, most HDUs are throttling-valve-controlled cylinder systems, which exhibit high energy losses. By contrast, pump control systems offer a high ef...
Skin thickness δ can be calculated by the following formula: [Math Processing Error]δ=ρeπμf, (2) where ρe and μ are the conductivity and permeability of materials, respectively, f denotes the loading frequency of power. But up to now, little research has been reported on the ...

In this paper, we present design ideas for cryogenic and support systems of an on-board magnet used in a high-acceleration high-temperature superconducting (HTS) electrodynamic suspension (EDS) system to achieve the goals of tolerating high acceleration, low weight, and small size. Biconical suppor...
A non-linear power generator system that may include a flexible beam for receiving a mechanical input, the flexible beam being supported in a bowed configuration; an electrically responsive member sup
In 2008, two articles in Autosport revealed details of a new mechanical suspension component with the name J-damper which had entered Formula One Racing and which was delivering significant performance gains in handling and grip. From its first mention in the 2007 Formula One spy scandal there wa...
The original issues contained in this article are: (1) The highlighting of the physical and mathematical connection between the specific electrical formalism and the Theory of Sonics by introducing the sonic power in B8 (B18) formula. (2) The materialization of theoretical results on the ...
Simple Electrical Circuits Questions on electricity usually take the form of simple circuit diagrams. Mechanical Reasoning Tests These diagrams are usually restricted to showing: The power source Switches Loads (typically bulbs) The path of the wiring To answer these questions, you need a basic unders...
