Properties of Gyroscope Motion About One Axis

The known gyroscope theory based on principle of the rate change in the angular momentum of a spinning rotor. Practice demonstrates this mathematical model cannot describe other gyroscope effects and shows that there are other unsolved problems, which is spawned steady myth of the gyroscope mystery. These phenomena attract new researchers to solve gyroscope problems. The nature of gyroscope effects is more complex than represented in publications and known mathematical models do not match the actual motions and forces of the gyroscope effects. Latest studies of forces that involved in motions of a gyroscope demonstrate that there are four dynamical components, which act simultaneously and interrelated. The gyroscope with the external torque applied is experienced the resistance torque generated by the centrifugal and Coriolis forces and the precession torque generated by the inertial forces and the rate change of the angular momentum of the spinning rotor. These four dynamical components is represented the fundamental principles of gyroscope theory. Interrelation of this torques demonstrates the new unknown effects of the gyroscope. In case of the blocking the action of the precession torques resistance torques are deactivated. The mathematical model of forces acting in the gyroscope practically tested and the results validated the theoretical approach.

Modeling and Numerical Simulation of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Having Cavity Vanes

The last years have proved that Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are more suitable for urban areas than Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). To date, very little has been published in this area to assess good performance and lifetime of VAWTs either in open or urban areas. The main goal of this current research is to investigate numerically the aerodynamic performance of a newly designed cavity type vertical axis wind turbine. In the current new design the power generated depends on the drag force generated by the individual blades and interactions between them in a rotating configuration. For numerical investigation, commercially available computational fluid dynamic CFD software GAMBIT and FLUENT were used. In this numerical analysis the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-? turbulence model is used which is better than the other turbulence models available as suggested by some researchers. The computed results show good agreement with published experimental results.

Mathematical Models for Productivity Rate of Automated Lines with Reliability Attributes of Mechanisms

Automated lines with complex structures consist of stations and mechanisms with different levels of reliability. Most publications that present the mathematical models for productivity of automated lines are based on simplifications to derive the approximate equations of productivity. Simplification is based on the premise that all stations of the automated lines have one level of reliability, and balancing of technological process on stations is conducted evenly, etc. However, manufacturers need correct and clear mathematical models to enable the calculation of the productivity of the automated lines with high accuracy. This paper presents the analytical approach to the productivity rate of the automated lines with stations and mechanisms, with different failure rates, and processing times. The proposed mathematical models allow for the output of automated lines to be modelled with results that are close to actual productivity.
