Unlock the secrets of torque and rotational equilibrium in this clear and engaging physics explanation. Using the example of a hanging sign, we break down how forces, distances, and angles work ...

A little while ago I had one of those immensely annoying – and unwinnable – arguments in an online forum with a guy I’d never met. You’d think the touchy topic was the wisdom of wearing a face mask (I ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

Expansion Plan: The LS1 is a great engine that can be made even be better with just a touch more displacement! Everyone loves to get the latest and greatest. It’s human nature and it afflicts ...

Newton-metres and kilowatts: the most confusing concepts that explain the magic of the kick in your back when your car accelerates. From linguists to mechanics to motoring journalists, the ability to ...

In addition to being one of the most fun words to say—and hardest to spell—in English, “onomatopoeia” probably calls to mind a whole bunch of silly, fun words. Onomatopoeia is the process of creating ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

In the “old days,” cars were rear-wheel drive (RWD), which meant that the engine sent its power and torque to the two back wheels through the transmission and driveshaft. However, that started to ...

Torque vectoring is an electronically controlled system that improves vehicle traction, cornering capabilities, and overall stability by allotting specific power delivery to individual wheels. It is ...
