Good ref image. Shows how and where obvious jams can occur, and what you’d need to adjust to clear one.

Dat engineering.

I literally did not know how a gun works until I saw this 

[dvbsh-deactivated20180526]

Nor did I.

The only thing I didn’t know was that the barrel tilts as the slide goes back.  The mechanics of a gun is impressive, it’s a shame guns have had such a detrimental effect on humanity as a whole.

Hi! I love planetary gears! They are used in all kinds of things like transmissions and old school hand crank pencil sharpeners. 

The sun gear is the gear in the center. The planetary gears are the ones that orbit the sun gear.

İskoçya’da Bir Mühendislik Harikası İster tasarmcı, ister mühendis olalım doğa ve gözlem bizim için herşeyden önce gelir.Örneğini de burada vereceğim bu döner asansör diye tabir edeceğimiz sistemin tasarımcıları, mühendisleri sorunu çözmek için çift başlı baltadan ve dönme dolaptan esinlenmişlerdir.Görüldüğü gibi sorun karşısında insan herşeye farklı açılardan bakıyor.Bir bakış açısı değişimi müthiş tasarımlara yol açabiliyor. Falkirk Wheel, İskoçyada bulunuyor.24 m  Yükseklik farkı bulunan iki kanalı birbirine bağlayan bir dönen tekne kaldıracıdır (bu uzunluk yaklaşık sekiz kat yüksekliğinde bir binaya denktir).Sistemde muazzam bir güç olmasına rağmen denge ve mühendisliğe doğanın da katkısıyla (Arşimet Prensibi) düşük güçle sistem işler hale getirilmiş.

Teknik Bilgileri: Sistemin işlevini yapması yani 180 derece dönmesi 5.5 dakikada gerçekleşir. Sistemin dönmesini 12 çamaşır makinesi motoru sağlamaktadır. (GÜÇ: 22.5 kW (30.2 hp) ) Dönme anında 1,5 kWh enerji tüketir. Dönen sistemin çapı 35 m

An engineering marvel in Scotland

Whether Designer who , whether engineers let nature observation and for us first of all gelir.örneg also here I will give this rotary lift the so-called we will system designers, engineers to solve the problem double -headed ax and the rotation of the closet esinlenmişlerdir.görül as to face the problem of human things from different angles looking . a change in perspective can lead to great design .

Falkirk Wheel in Scotland bulunuyor.24 m height difference between the two channels connecting a rotating boat lift (this is a length of about eight times the height of a building is equivalent to ) . Online tremendous power, although the balance and engineering of nature with the contribution ( Archimedes' Principle) low-power system works have been made.

Technical Information:

Performing the function of the system , i.e. 180 degrees rotation occurs at 5.5 minutes .

System provides a washing machine motor 12 rotation . ( POWER : 22.5 kW ( 30.2 hp) )

Turning instantly consumes 1.5 kWh of energy .

What Physics says About Perpetual Motion Machines & Free Energy:

A perpetual motion machine is a hypothetical construct which, once activated, would continue to function and produce work. If we were ever to make such a device, it would completely revolutionize our world by bringing the energy crisis to a halt (literally). But…could we ever actually make one?
