Creep Properties

AI Thread Summary

Creep in polyoxymethylene (POM) refers to the material's tendency to deform under sustained load over time. For detailed technical assistance, contacting DuPont is recommended, as they have expertise in this area. However, reaching the appropriate contact within larger companies can be challenging. Previous experiences indicate that direct communication can yield helpful information. Understanding creep properties is crucial for applications involving POM.

Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
