A team of New York University scientists has created a gear mechanism that relies on fluids to generate rotation. The invention holds potential for a new generation of mechanical devices that offer ...

Whether you have a mechanical limited-slip differential (LSD) in your car you stand to benefit from knowing how one works. Not so you can know how to fix it or anything—just because they’re a ...

For the first time, a gear mechanism has been discovered in nature – as opposed to a non-functioning gear patterns like those on the ‘cog wheel turtle’ or the ‘wheel bug’. The cogs are on the rear ...

The essence of mechanical engineering is problem solving. MEs combine creativity, knowledge and analytical tools to complete the difficult task of shaping an idea into reality. Mechanical engineering ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The simplest axial magnetic gearboxes consist of two disks each containing alternating positive and negative magnets ...
