wow! that is some extremely educational information...thank you all... this will keep my mind going the right direction. i have been interested in bio mechanical technology for an extremely long time. but my thoughts in the subject always bring me to a control device that would be able to...

I'm new to this forum, and I'm not very educated in biology, although i have recently grown extremely interested. I have gathered bits and pieces of information over the years on how the brain works and have some questions. I understand that the brain is still like the depths of space when it...

mender is right. in short the tensioner kinda works like a zip tie. once it clicks in a notch, it can't be pulled back. only the tensioner does have a small button that can be pressed to release it so that it can be compressed and a pin inserted to hold it in the compressed position for...

it would need to be falling or floating in space in order to get it to rotate with almost 0 force. but floating in water would be "close" to 0 friction. this is if it is a smooth object. so yea youre right. but to get it to rotate under strength of Earth's gravity pulling on it, there would...

cant you just open a window?:rolleyes: so open space far enough from a heat source will allow the heat in an object to dissipate into space never to be replenished. simple... thank you! but that just brings up more questions.:rolleyes: ill start a thread. lol.

I'm an Ase certified technician with only 4 years experience, although I'm not what is considered a veteran technician, knowing not to rotate an engine backward is common knowledge and one of the first things taught in engine repair. not all transmissions provide a lower reverse gear. some...

being an automotive technician, I would use an foot pounds torque wrench.

i don't even think the textbook i paid for in college was this direct and simplistic in its explanation of the theory. great word stacking! another theory that is used here is heat is present in everything. heat has to be removed to cool an object. you don't add cold, you subtract heat. that...

actually, if you park a manual vehicle facing up hill, you want to put the gear selector in reverse. you don't want to take any chance of turning your engine backward. some engines have hydraulically controlled timing components that keep tension on the belt or chain that synchronizes the crank...

thanks man. that's all i needed to know.

after my post last night i was doing research on what you told me and saw the flaw you pointed out to me. thank you. i had a back to textbook moment. i can still add iron to my plans. it only changes a few things. but in multiple ways this made my project even more accoplishable not only by the...

sorry for errors in my terminology. if i understood half of what some of you guys talk about on here, i probably wouldn't need to be a mechanic for a living. i would love to be able to work out some of the mathematical equations I've seen on here and grasp some understanding of what youre...

thank you for challenging my idea. that is actually what i was looking for by posting my questions on this forum. i do see your point. i understand that a magnetic pulse generator uses a coil wrapped around an iron core, and a small magnet attached to the non induced end to generate a pulse...

in the picture there are actually two devices. ill break each one down a little further. the smaller one is a generic view of a wheel speed sensor found on a vehicle. I'm an automotive technician so please excuse the terms i use. a reluctor wheel or tone wheel is the object connected...

new guy here with a simple magnetic theory question. if i were to coil 10 turns of insulated wire around an 1/8" round x 1" long neodymium magnet, then wire it in parallel to a second magnet with 20 turns of the same gauge wire, what kind of change could i exspect in the second magnets field...
