Shaft Speed

AI Thread Summary

The critical speed of a shaft supported at its ends by bearings can be determined without load by analyzing the natural frequency of the system. The effects of critical speed include potential resonance, which can lead to excessive vibrations and structural damage. Dunkerley's method is often referenced for calculating critical speed, taking into account factors like shaft length and mass distribution. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for ensuring operational stability and longevity of rotating machinery. Proper assessment of critical speed helps in designing effective support systems for shafts.

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length of 150 feet'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

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...
