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 '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...
