To begin, we know that both intake and exhaust systems operate with un-steady, pulsing flow. On the intake side, by comparison, this is probably more important to consider since (particularly when ...

Over time, in this column, we have touched upon several aspects of not only how to achieve higher levels of volumetric efficiency (as it relates to torque) but the importance of this feature in a ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

Everyone and their mothers know a car’s top two performance metrics are horsepower and torque. They’re littered across every car’s spec sheet, plastered multiple times in its reviews, and bolded and ...

Try this for kicks. The next time you’re surrounded by your gearhead buddies, ask them to explain the difference between horsepower and torque. The participants will immediately divide into “pro ...

Here are the important specs on the high-performance Tesla Model S P85D that CEO Elon Musk unveiled Thursday night in L.A.: $120,000, 691 horsepower, and 687 lb. ft. of torque. That's a ton of ...

Volvo's new XE13 and Eco-Torque powertrain packages will make a big difference to drivers in ways they will never know — and a few they will. What a difference a little extra engine torque makes. I ...

To evaluate isokinetic shoulder flexor–extensor (F/E) and abductor–adductor (Ab/Ad) torque ratios in individuals with paraplegia using a new interpretative approach. We proposed to study torque ratios ...

As the cost of electricity goes up, energy efficiency becomes more and more relevant as a design parameter. This is even the case in motion/position control applications, where servomotors are widely ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...
