Any project that contains something called a “flux modulator” instantly commands our attention. And while we’re pretty sure that [Retsetman] didn’t invent it after hitting his head on the toilet, this ...

Drive designers must make accurate life predictions to ensure reliability. Part of the equation is gear and bearing support flexibility — in the gearbox housing, planet carrier, and ring gear.

Gearboxes in general are a result of over 80 years of accumulated engineering knowledge. So why do gearboxes for wind turbines sometimes fail after seven to 11 years — way less than the anticipated 20 ...

Invention of the gear-hobbing process about 150 years ago revolutionized not only gear fabrication, but also gear design. Basically, a hob or shaper cutter traverses the gear blank to generate teeth.

Drive System Design (DSD) and Alvier Mechatronics have teamed up to create a development platform for electric vehicle drives. “The project leverages DSD’s expertise in rapid development engineering ...

Have you ever wanted to make your own outdoor gear? On this episode of Outdoor Explorer host Paul Twardock interviews two professional gear designers to help answers questions covering concept to ...

Six Northern Power 100 kW direct drive wind turbines produce power for Unalakleet, Alaska. The turbines are owned by Unalakleet Valley Electric Cooperative. Photo courtesy STG Inc. For years, wind ...
