  2. McKendree cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McKendree_cylinder

    A McKendree cylinder is a type of hypothetical rotating space habitat originally proposed at NASA's Turning Goals into Reality conference in 2000 by NASA engineer Tom McKendree. [1] Like other space habitat designs, the cylinder would spin to produce artificial gravity by way of centrifugal force.

    Contra-rotating propellers Contra-rotating propellers on the Rolls-Royce Griffon-powered P-51XR Mustang Precious Metal at the 2014 Reno Air Races. Aircraft equipped with contra-rotating propellers (CRP) [1] coaxial contra-rotating propellers, or high-speed propellers, apply the maximum power of usually a single piston engine or turboprop engine to drive a pair of coaxial propellers in contra ...

    Artist's depiction of a pair of O'Neill cylinders Interior view, showing alternating land and window segments. An O'Neill cylinder (also called an O'Neill colony, or Island Three) is a space settlement concept proposed by American physicist Gerard K. O'Neill in his 1976 book The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. [1]

  6. Contra-rotating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contra-rotating

    Contra-rotating, also referred to as coaxial contra-rotating, is a technique whereby parts of a mechanism rotate in opposite directions about a common axis, usually to minimise the effect of torque. Examples include some aircraft propellers , resulting in the maximum power of a single piston or turboprop engine to drive two propellers in ...

  8. Balance shaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_shaft

    The counter balance shafts have eccentric weights and rotate in opposite direction to each other, which generates a net vertical force. The balance shaft was invented and patented by British engineer Frederick W. Lanchester in 1907. [1] [2] It is most commonly used in inline-four and V6 engines used in automobiles and motorcycles.

    Connecting rods (rotating around the piston end as required by the varying horizontal offset between the piston and the crank throw) The imbalances can be caused by either the static mass of individual components or the cylinder layout of the engine, as detailed in the following sections.
