  2. Propeller walk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propeller_walk

    Propeller walk (also known as propeller effect, wheeling effect, paddle wheel effect, asymmetric thrust, asymmetric blade effect, transverse thrust, prop walk) is the term for a propeller's tendency to rotate about a vertical axis (also known as yaw motion). The rotation is in addition to the forward or backward acceleration.

  3. Slide chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_chart

    A circular slide chart is sometimes referred to as a wheel chart or volvelle. Unlike other hand-held mechanical calculating devices such as slide rules and addiators, which have been replaced by electronic calculators and computer software, wheel charts and slide charts have survived to the present time. There are a number of companies who ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvelle

    A volvelle or wheel chart is a type of slide chart, a paper construction with rotating parts. It is considered an early example of a paper analog computer . [ 1 ] Volvelles have been produced to accommodate organization and calculation in many diverse subjects.

  6. Geneva drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geneva_drive

    In the most common arrangement of the Geneva drive, the client wheel has four slots and thus advances the drive by one step at a time (each step being 90 degrees) for each full rotation of the master wheel. If the steered wheel has n slots, it advances by ⁠ 360° / n ⁠ per full rotation of the propeller wheel. The minimum number of slots in ...

  7. Wheel graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_graph

    A wheel graph with n vertices can also be defined as the 1-skeleton of an (n – 1)-gonal pyramid. Some authors [1] write W n to denote a wheel graph with n vertices (n ≥ 4); other authors [2] instead use W n to denote a wheel graph with n + 1 vertices (n ≥ 3), which is formed by connecting a single vertex to all vertices of a cycle of ...

  8. Wagon-wheel effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wagon-wheel_effect

    The wagon-wheel effect (alternatively called stagecoach-wheel effect) is an optical illusion in which a spoked wheel appears to rotate differently from its true rotation. The wheel can appear to rotate more slowly than the true rotation, it can appear stationary, or it can appear to rotate in the opposite direction from the true rotation ...

    Working principle of a Maltese cross or Geneva drive Animation of a rotating shutter. The film is transported one frame when the shutter is blocking illumination of the film. An intermittent mechanism or intermittent movement is a device or movement which regularly advances an object, web, or plastic film and then holds it in place. This ...
