Gear Ratio
A gear train is a mechanical system formed by mounting gears on a frame so the teeth of the gears engage. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll on each other without slipping, providing a smooth transmission of rotation from one gear to the next. Features of gears and gear trains include: * The gear ratio of the pitch circles of mating gears defines the speed ratio and the mechanical advantage of the gear set. * A planetary gear train provides high gear reduction in a compact package. * It is possible to design gear teeth for gears that are non-circular, yet still transmit torque smoothly. * The speed ratios of chain and belt drives are computed in the same way as gear ratios. See bicycle gearing. The transmission of rotation between contacting toothed wheels can be traced back to the Antikythera mechanism of Greece and the south-pointing chariot of China. Illustrations by the Renaissance scientist Georgius Agricola show gear trains ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system. The device trades off input forces against movement to obtain a desired amplification in the output force. The model for this is the ''law of the lever.'' Machine components designed to manage forces and movement in this way are called mechanism (engineering), mechanisms. An ideal mechanism transmits power without adding to or subtracting from it. This means the ideal machine does not include a power source, is frictionless, and is constructed from rigid bodies that do not deflect or wear. The performance of a real system relative to this ideal is expressed in terms of efficiency factors that take into account departures from the ideal. Levers The lever is a movable bar that pivots on a wikt:fulcrum, fulcrum attached to or positioned on or across a fixed point. The lever operates by applying forces at different distances from the fulcrum, or pivot. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gearing Family
Three generations of the Gearing family served in the United States Navy. *Henry Chalfant Gearing (9 June 1855 – 16 August 1926) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1876. Gearing served on various ships of the Navy during his early years, including ''Lackawanna'', ''Tuscarora'', and ''Essex''. He spent tours of duty at the Naval Academy and on board ''Glacier''. After being promoted to commander in 1905, Gearing commanded the naval stations at Cavite and Olongapo, Philippines, until his retirement in 1909. He died 16 August 1926 in Charlottesville, Virginia Charlottesville, colloquially known as C'ville, is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It is the county seat of Albemarle County, which surrounds the city, though the two are separate legal entities. It is named after Queen Ch .... *Henry Chalfant Gearing, Jr., (22 January 1887 – 24 February 1944) was born in Boston, Massachusetts ...

USS Gearing (DD-710)
USS ''Gearing'' (DD-710) was the lead ship of her class of destroyers in the United States Navy. She was named for three generations of the Gearing family, Commander Henry Chalfant Gearing Sr., Captain Henry Chalfant Gearing Jr. and Lieutenant Henry Chalfant Gearing, III. Construction ''Gearing'' was launched on 18 February 1945 by the Federal Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., Kearny, New Jersey. ''Gearing'' was sponsored by Mrs. Thomas M. Foley, daughter of Commander Gearing and commissioned 3 May 1945. History After shakedown off Cuba, ''Gearing'' reached Norfolk 22 July 1945 and trained precommissioning crews for other destroyers until putting in at Casco Bay, Maine, 5 October. ''Gearing'' put in at Pensacola, Florida, 4 November to screen the aircraft carrier during carrier qualification operations. Returning to Norfolk 21 March 1946, she conducted peacetime operations along the Atlantic coast of North and South America, in the Caribbean, visiting Montevideo, Uruguay; ...

Gearing-class Destroyer
The ''Gearing'' class was a series of 98 destroyers built for the U.S. Navy during and shortly after World War II. The ''Gearing'' design was a minor modification of the , whereby the hull was lengthened by at amidships, which resulted in more fuel storage space and increased the operating range. The first ''Gearing''s were not ready for service until mid-1945 and saw little service in World War II. They continued serving, with a series of upgrades, until the 1970s. At that time many were sold to other nations, where they served many more years. Procurement and construction 31 vessels were authorized on 9 July 1942: * DD-710 to DD-721 awarded to Federal Shipbuilding, Kearny. * DD-742 to DD-743 awarded to Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine. * DD-763 to DD-769 awarded to Bethlehem Steel, San Francisco. * DD-782 to DD-791 awarded to Todd Pacific Shipyards, Seattle. 4 vessels were authorized on 13 May 1942: * DD-805 to DD-808 awarded to Bath Iron Works, Bath, Maine. 3 vessels were ...

Leverage (finance)
In finance, leverage (or gearing in the United Kingdom and Australia) is any technique involving borrowing funds to buy things, hoping that future profits will be many times more than the cost of borrowing. This technique is named after a lever in physics, which amplifies a small input force into a greater output force, because successful leverage amplifies the comparatively small amount of money needed for borrowing into large amounts of profit. However, the technique also involves the high risk of not being able to pay back a large loan. Normally, a lender will set a limit on how much risk it is prepared to take and will set a limit on how much leverage it will permit, and would require the acquired asset to be provided as collateral security for the loan. Leveraging enables gains to be multiplied.Brigham, Eugene F., ''Fundamentals of Financial Management'' (1995). On the other hand, losses are also multiplied, and there is a risk that leveraging will result in a loss if financ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ashley Gearing
Ashley Gearing (born May 15, 1991) is an American country music artist. She has charted four singles on the ''Billboard'' Hot Country Songs charts. Biography Ashley Gearing was born May 15, 1991 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Ashley Gearing made her chart debut in 2003 with the song "Can You Hear Me When I Talk to You?", which peaked at No. 36 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. At the time of its release, the song made Gearing the youngest female artist to enter that chart, at twelve years and one month. This beat a record set by Brenda Lee in 1957. The song was issued as a single on Lyric Street Records. The song is about a child who loses her father at an early age. At the age of twelve, Gearing sang " When You Wish Upon a Star" on '' Disneymania 2'' and " If You Can Dream" which was certified gold by the RIAA on '' Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection''. Her first full-length album, ''Maybe It's Time'', was released on the indepe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
