Question: What does a Cal Poly-educated design engineer do in his free time? Answer: If his name is Jeff Friesen, he designs and builds this incredible hydrostatic-powered machine, which he calls the ...

Most bearings operate with a fluid film -- oil, another liquid, or a gas. By far the largest number of bearings are oil lubricated. The oil film can be maintained through pumping by a pressurization ...

LNS America says its Hydrobar Sprint 555 bar feeders incorporate hydrostatic and hydrodynamic principles that allow users to cut up to 12-in. bar stock at maximum spindle speeds without dangerous ...

The frictional properties of any plain bearing depend on the lubrication system. Either hydrodynamic or hydrostatic lubrication can provide low friction. Gas bearings have the lowest friction levels.

Hybrid hydrofoil monohulls (HYSWAS) combine hydrostatic and hydrodynamic lift, in effect, merging Swath and hydrofoil technology. Conceptual studies have been carried out in Germany for a 500-ton ...

Characterizing forces on deformable objects intruding into sand and soil requires understanding the solid- and fluid-like responses of such substrates and their effect on the state of the object. The ...

Analysis of an exhaustive data base of Namurian ammonoid shell characters indicates that the morphology of the Goniatitida can be explained in terms of functional constraints, resulting particularly ...
