What Innovations Can Cyclotron Research Bring to Modern Propulsion Systems?

AI Thread Summary
Cyclotron research has not yet demonstrated significant innovations for modern propulsion systems. The discussion references the Voith Schneider Propeller, a century-old technology used in tugs, which features vertical blades that rotate around a vertical axis. This design allows for directional movement and precise maneuverability. The potential for cyclotron technology to enhance propulsion remains unproven at this time. Overall, advancements in this area are still in the early stages of exploration.

It seems not yet.

There's a similair system for tugs invented about 100years ago - the Voith Schneider Propeller
You have a set of vertical blades spinning about a vertical axis - as the blades go round you vary the pitch of each to change the direction the tug goes in. It allows it to move in any direction and turn in the spot.
 

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?'

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
