We all have gone to school (at least many of us have) and we all have learned a lot from our schooling period. But there were times in our study days when we just couldn't understand the damn concept behind a certain thing. It was just a given and we, without understanding how or why, just locked it in our minds that certain things work in a certain way. But has anyone challenged the law? Has anyone tried to find out 'Why' a certain thing works like it does?
Well, today we'll be taking a small lecture, clearly explaining how a certain machine works. In other words, we'll make you understand those complicated mechanisms in a very simple way, leaving you laughing at the word 'complicated' along with a lot of knowledge.
The class begins!
Radial Engines
Radial engines are used in aircrafts, having propeller connected to the shaft, delivering power in order to produce thrust. Its basic mechanism is as follows:
Steam engine Principle
Steam engine, once used in locomotives, was based on the reciprocating principle as shown below:
Sewing Machine
Maltese Cross Mechanism
This type of mechanism is used in clocks to power the second hand movement. Explained nicely below:
Manual Transmission Mechanism
The mechanism, also called as “stick shift”, is used in cars to change gears manually. Explained clearly below:
Constant Velocity Joint
This mechanism is used in the front wheel drive cars:
Torpedo Boat destroyer System
This system is used to destroy fleet in naval military operations:
Rotary Engine
Also called as Wankel engine, it is a type of internal combustion engine. It has a unique design that converts pressure into rotating motion instead of reciprocating pistons.
