Great Mechanical Principles

~ A Few Of The Greatest Mechanical Principles Of All Time ~

Here are 9 of the greatest mechanical principles and inventions,

which show the wonder of the human mind.

Simple animation to explain complex principles:

1: Aircraft Radial Engine
TOP rod is the 'master' rod, connected to the crankshaft. All the other rods connect to the 'master rod' base with their own 'rod bearing'



2: Oval Regulation

3: Sewing Machines (always was a mystery to me)

4: Malta Cross movement - second hand movement used to control the clock


5: Auto Change file mechanism

THIS IS HOW YOUR 4 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WORKS


6: Auto Constant Velocity Universal Joint
.ON ALL FRONF WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES.



7: Gun Ammunition loading system

8: Rotary Engine - an internal combustion engine,

the heat rather than the piston movement into rotary movement


9: Boxter Engine - it's cylinders lined up side by side

VW & SUBARU & SMALL AIRCRAFT ENGINES
