For years, B. Ubbo Felderhof has explored the mechanisms fish and microorganisms rely on to propel themselves. He has created mechanical models to support the theory behind the 'swimming' of ...

In the ideal scenario of a bicycle wheel on a frictionless axle, there is no external torque acting on the wheel once it is set in motion. This is why it continues to spin at a constant angular ...

People in the power industry understand inertia and its importance to grid stability. As large thermal power plants and other inertia-providing units are replaced with renewable resources that provide ...
