Weight driven pendulum & torque?

AI Thread Summary
Lengthening a pendulum affects the torque on connected gears, as torque is influenced by the pendulum's length and weight distribution. The discussion raises the question of whether torque remains inversely proportional to speed in this context. The absence of a freewheel or over-run clutch on the pendulum itself is noted, indicating that the mechanics of the winding barrel are separate. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for analyzing the overall system's performance. The inquiry emphasizes the need for clarity on how modifications to the pendulum impact torque and gear function.

Need some help understanding if torque changes.

Does lengthening the pendulum affect the torque on the other gears (purple, green, and plum)?
In other words is torque inversely proportional to speed still applicable here?

thanks

Hi, are you using a over run clutch on the pendulum?
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
