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 ...
For five millennia, human civilization has progressed on the back of a simple yet rigid idea: the gear. From the chariot wheels crossing the Gobi Desert in 3,000 BCE to the intricate bronze clockwork ...
Scientists at New York University and NYU Shanghai have developed a new kind of gear that works without teeth or direct ...
A new study reimagines the 3,000-year-old technology using fluids, avoiding the most annoying limitations of teeth-driven ...
US researchers have created a gear mechanism that uses fluids, rather than mechanical teeth, to generate rotation. They believe their invention could lead to a new generation of devices that offer ...
Backlash, a clearance between mating gear teeth, is built into speed reducers to let the gears mesh without binding and to provide space for a film of lubricating oil between the teeth. This prevents ...
