  2. Helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix

    The pitch of a helix is the height of one complete helix turn, measured parallel to the axis of the helix. A double helix consists of two (typically congruent) helices with the same axis, differing by a translation along the axis. [3] A circular helix (i.e. one with constant radius) has constant band curvature and constant torsion. The slope of ...

  3. Pitch angle of a spiral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitch_angle_of_a_spiral

    In the geometry of spirals, the pitch angle [1] or pitch [2] of a spiral is the angle made by the spiral with a circle through one of its points, centered at the center of the spiral. Equivalently, it is the complementary angle to the angle made by the vector from the origin to a point on the spiral, with the tangent vector of the spiral at the ...

  4. Lead (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_(engineering)

    In these screws, the lead is equal to the pitch multiplied by the number of "starts". Lead angle is the angle between the helix and a plane of rotation. It is the complement of the helix angle, and is used for convenience in worms and hobs. It is understood to be at the standard pitch diameter unless otherwise specified.

  5. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    the plane normal to the pitch helix at side of tooth; the plane normal to the pitch helix at center of tooth; the plane normal to the pitch helix at center of space between two teeth; In a spiral bevel gear, one of the positions of a normal plane is at a mean point and the plane is normal to the tooth trace.

  6. Helix angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helix_angle

    The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used.

  7. 310 helix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/310_helix

    The amino acids in a 3 10-helix are arranged in a right-handed helical structure. Each amino acid corresponds to a 120° turn in the helix (i.e., the helix has three residues per turn), and a translation of 2.0 Å (0.20 nm) along the helical axis, and has 10 atoms in the ring formed by making the hydrogen bond.

  8. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    A science project is an educational activity for students involving experiments or construction of models in one of the science disciplines. Students may present their science project at a science fair, so they may also call it a science fair project. Science projects may be classified into four main types.

  9. Spiral bevel gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_bevel_gear

    The shape of a hypoid gear is a revolved hyperboloid (that is, the pitch surface of the hypoid gear is a hyperbolic surface), whereas the shape of a spiral bevel gear is normally conical. The hypoid gear places the pinion off-axis to the crown wheel (ring gear) which allows the pinion to be larger in diameter and have more contact area.
