AI Thread Summary

Voltage appears when measuring the lathe process with a thermocouple due to the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is generated in response to temperature differences at the junctions of dissimilar metals. This phenomenon is inherent to thermocouples, making them effective for temperature measurement in machining processes. The voltage produced is proportional to the temperature difference, allowing for precise readings. Understanding the thermoelectric principles behind this can clarify why voltage is observed in such applications. Proper interpretation of these voltage readings is crucial for effective temperature monitoring in lathe operations.

Can you be more specific? Do you want to know how thermocouples work? I'm sure Wikipedia has a good explanation of that.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
