Physics!
A group of components that work together to transfer power from its source to where it is used to do work
What is a powertrain?
In a Three-Gear-set, this one is in the middle
What is an idler gear?
This "ancient" type of drive system allows for the transfer of power using liquids
What are Fluid drives?
This stationary mechanical device reduces friction between two moving parts
What is a bearing?
This type of seal is used when there is no movement between two sealed surfaces
What is a Static Seal
This unit is a measurement of how quickly work is done.
What is Power?
In my opinion, this gear drives a Bull
What is a Pinion Gear?
This drive system uses an Impeller and a Turbine, but No stator
What is a Fluid Coupling?
Here's the rub: Resistance creates heat!
What is Friction?
This type of seal is used to seal a head to a block
What is a gasket?
This equine unit is about 745 Watts
Watt is horsepower?
A small amount of clearance between teeth to allow for lubrication and smooth gear operation
What is backlash?
This closed-loop drive system uses a pump to drive a motor
What is a Hydrostatic drive?
Sleeve Bearings are often made of this softer material, so that they may wear first
What is Brass, Bronze or Babbitt?
This tightly-wound insert provides additional force when fluid pressure is less, not to be confused with a wedding accoutrement
What is a Garter Spring
Force multiplied by Distance
What is Torque?
This thrusting straight-gear variation allows for quieter operation and is more suitable for heavy loads
What are Helical Gears?
Force = Pressure (Area)
What is Pascal's Law?
Needle, Tapered, Thrust, Ball
What are Anti-friction Roller Bearings?
This type of seal requires a special installation tool and seals against rotational movement
What is a Duo-Cone seal?
This celestial object is a little more than 238,000 miles from Terra Firma
What is the Moon?
With this component Held fast, the planetary set will rotate about its axis when the sun gear is powered.
What is the Ring Gear?
"Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink"
What is sea-Water?
-"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
This defiant yet noble Anglo-Saxon equestrian, bore it all due to over-Taxation
Who was Lady Godiva?
This type of seal was determined to be the failure that lead to the destruction of the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1986
What is an o-ring seal?
