Any project that contains something called a “flux modulator” instantly commands our attention. And while we’re pretty sure that [Retsetman] didn’t invent it after hitting his head on the toilet, this ...

A methodology has been developed for creating a fundamentally new high-speed planetary gearbox for an electric vehicle drive with double-crown planetary gears mounted in central bearing supports ...

Recently, in addition to large agricultural machines such as tractors and combines, research on multi-purpose agricultural vehicles, such as utility terrain vehicles (UTVs), has been actively ...

What if the future of precision mechanics didn’t rely on massive manufacturing plants or multimillion-dollar R&D budgets, but instead emerged from a 3D printer on a hobbyist’s workbench? That’s ...

The gearbox connects the power unit to the rear wheels and is responsible for multiplying torque at lower speeds and allowing the engine to operate within its power band across the full range of car ...

The choice between helical and spur gears in gearboxes may seem straightforward. Go with helical gears if you want the gearbox to run as smoothly and quietly as possible. Choose spur gears when you ...

Gearboxes in general are a result of over 80 years of accumulated engineering knowledge. So why do gearboxes for wind turbines sometimes fail after seven to 11 years — way less than the anticipated 20 ...

Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.

Drive System Design (DSD) and Alvier Mechatronics have teamed up to create a development platform for electric vehicle drives. “The project leverages DSD’s expertise in rapid development engineering ...

Has been the product of a two-month long journey, with more alterations in the works! Building replica scale models of famous cars is an amazing feat in itself. But what happens when you someone ...
