It can be surprisingly hard to find decent analogies when you’re teaching electronics basics. The water flow analogy, for instance, is decent for explaining Ohm’s law, but it breaks down pretty soon ...

Here's how to design mechanical linkages without solving a single trig equation. Modern CAD systems include powerful sketching tools. One application that gets little publicity helps design mechanical ...

Most mechanical linkages for speed adjustment work well and are easy to understand. However, maintenance can become a headache in both labor and replacement Most mechanical linkages for speed ...

In today's established dual-front wiper systems, a mechanical link between the left and right wiper is used for synchronization (Figure 1). This is necessary because of the different behaviors of the ...
