  2. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    Figure-8 coils can be used to keep something aligned. [10] An especially technologically interesting case of this comes when one uses a Halbach array instead of a single-pole permanent magnet, as this almost doubles the field strength, which in turn almost doubles the strength of the eddy currents. The net effect is to more than triple the lift ...

  3. Air caster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_caster

    Air casters require a smooth, non-porous surface in order to maintain lift and operate properly. Cracks and other surface defects can interrupt the proper flow of air, causing the air cushion to dissipate and thus lose its ability to lift. This limits their application to fields like manufacturing, where such surfaces are abundant.

  4. Manual handling of loads - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_handling_of_loads

    The NIOSH lifting equation is a tool (now application) that can be used by health and safety professionals to assess employees who are exposed to manual lifting or handling of materials. [7] The NIOSH lifting equation is a mathematical calculation which calculates the Recommended Weight Limit (RWL) using a series of tables, variables, and ...

  5. Bench press - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bench_press

    Examples include lifting on a Swiss ball, using dumbbells instead of a barbell, or lifting with the legs on the bench or in the air. Alternating arms: This involves using a pair of dumbbells and lifting and lowering one and then lifting and lowering the other; or lifting one while lowering the other in an alternating sequence.

    When ready, push into your heels to lift your hips and squeeze your glutes at the top. Lower your body and repeat the move. This targets the glutes, strengthens the lower back and engages the core.

  7. List of weight training exercises - Wikipedia

    A chin-up (palms facing backwards) places more emphasis on the biceps and a wide grip pullup places more emphasis on the lats. As beginners of this exercise are often unable to lift their own bodyweight, a chin-up machine can be used with counterweights to assist them in the lift. Equipment: chin-up bar or chin-up machine.

  8. Lift (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lift_(force)

    Lift is proportional to the density of the air and approximately proportional to the square of the flow speed. Lift also depends on the size of the wing, being generally proportional to the wing's area projected in the lift direction. In calculations it is convenient to quantify lift in terms of a lift coefficient based on these factors.

  9. Lewis (lifting appliance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_(lifting_appliance)

    The slab lifter uses two safety devices. Safety chains and a support bracket allow safe lifting of large slabs. This lifting appliance also has a safety locking device that is engaged when the gripping pads are activated by the weight of the stone. This prevents any jerking movement from releasing the stone.
