Ok so this is how it looks...

Not really I am trying to push a turbine's tail to overall to "control" a yaw system. The axial force come as a result of the centripetal force on the bell crank. I have to calculate the axial force exerted at 600 rpm and see if that force can overcome the wind load on the tail

This is what i mean. Radial forces are an important component of the process that keeps any object traveling in a circular orbit. When a known mass (such as a ball) spins around in a circle a set distance (the radius) from the center point at a constant speed, the radial force pushes the mass...

Well basically the red objects have some weight and as they spin they will be pushed upwards and pushing upwards will make the bell crank turn and the green objects will push the shaft

I have this device, It has 3 masses 30 grams each (Red ones) the other masses are not considered. The masses are spinning at 600 rpm at that velocity this will reach maximun radius. The maximun radius the masses and reach due to the centripetal force is 15cm. Can this device push a 3kg mass at...

So an alternator as a whole is like a smart generator...now why then they don't use this system for windturbines instead of a brake system

I am wondering how can an alternator charge the battery if the rpm change constantly? Can someone please explain me how it manages to produce a constant voltage?

what do you mean, how do I calculate N as radial and outwards??

I want to make the blue part rotate so the more it pushes the more force the more it is going to slow down and also transmit the motion to the blue part

That's right but I don't want to slow it down although it will I want the other part to also rotate

the blocks slide on the blue part which is the one that is going to rotate when the friction between the blocks and the surface stick together The blocks are moving along a rotor's axis this makes the blocks move toward the blue part's wall that's when the blue part starts rotating. Like a...

3 masses 120 degrees away from each other each one of 46g is spinning at 600RPM 58mm away from the center and are fixed to a guide pole. The masses are transmitting torque on a surface and the friction between the surfaces is 0.62 The area of contact is 192mm^2. How much torque is transmitted...
