Applications. Radial engines have several advantages for airplanes: They can produce a lot of power. A typical radial engine in a B-17 has nine cylinders, displaces 1,800 cubic inches (29.5 liters) and produces 1,200 horsepower.

A mountain bike (MTB[1]) or mountain bicycle is a bicycle designed for off-road cycling. Mountain bikes share some similarities with other bicycles, but incorporate features designed to enhance durability and performance in rough terrain. These typically include a suspension fork, large knobby tires, more durable wheels, more powerful brakes, straight handlebars, lower gear-ratios for climbing steep grades and sometimes rear suspension to really smooth out the trail

A mechanism which used in motion picture film projectors to intermittently advance film through a film gate having a projection aperture. The film is moved or advanced by a Geneva Mechanism (also known as a “Maltese Cross”) until an image frame is in alignment with the projection aperture.

Scissor Lift is a type of mechanism that allows for vertical displacement of some load, through the use of linked, folding supports, in a crisscross “X” pattern, referred to as a pantograph (or, simply, a scissor mechanism) Subscribe to learn more about mechanism & automation for FREE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVbjnpjSOH2BrLBYhqdXW4g?sub_confirmation=1

Intermediate
This is an intermediate level design tutorial, geared towards the workflow of developing a 3-blade RH prop profile but may be used for developing other prop designs. As such, this tutorial is not so much dimensionally driven as it is, procedural in nature. You will no doubt have your own constraints to work within.

Intermediate
Oscillating cylinder steam engines are now mainly used in toys and models but, in the past, have been used in full-size working engines, mainly on ships and small stationary engines. They have the advantage of simplicity and, therefore, low manufacturing costs. Community link: https://www.youtube.com/c/BeCreative666?sub_confirmation=1

How to convert a CAD file to an STL file?
GrabCAD Tutorials
in
Design & CAD

Intermediate
STL is the standard file type used by most or all rapid prototyping systems. A STL is a triangulated representation of a 3D CAD model (figure 1). The triangulation of a surface will cause faceting of the 3D model. The parameters used for outputting a STL will affect how much faceting occurs (figure 2 and 3). You cannot build the model any better or smoother than the STL file, so if the STL is coarse and faceted, that is what you can expect in the final model. In the CAD package, when exporting to STL, you may see parameters for chord height, deviation, angle tolerance, or something similar. These are the parameters that affect the faceting of the STL.You don’t necessarily want to go too small. The finer the STL the larger the file is in size, which will affect processing time in Insight as well as build time. Below is some information found on the Internet regarding exporting to STL from various CAD packages.

Intermediate
A trammel of Archimedes is a mechanism that generates the shape of an ellipse. It consists of two shuttles which are confined (“trammelled”) to perpendicular channels or rails, and a rod which is attached to the shuttles by pivots at fixed positions along the rod.
