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 ...

Scientists at New York University and NYU Shanghai have developed a new kind of gear that works without teeth or direct ...

Gear tooth geometry is determined primarily by pitch, depth, and pressure angle. Pitch: Standard pitches are usually whole numbers when measured as diametral pitch P, the ratio of the number of teeth ...

A new study reimagines the 3,000-year-old technology using fluids, avoiding the most annoying limitations of teeth-driven ...

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 ...

The ATS685LSH is an optimized Hall-effect sensing integrated circuit and rare-earth pellet combination that provides a user-friendly solution for true zero-speed digital gear-tooth sensing in two-wire ...

A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

Even before the Industrial Revolution, gears of one kind or another have been put to work both for and against us. From ancient water wheels and windmills that ground grain and pounded flax, to the ...
