Using the principles of passive dynamics, engineeers have built a walking robot out of one motor and two rigid legs Back in the late 1980s, a Canadian engineer called Tad McGeer built a remarkable ...

This dynamic compressor with passive components reduces high signal to a lower, more constant signal. If you look at this compressor schematic, you’ll notice it has no power supply, the required power ...

Back home in Scotland, David Arnott was accustomed to houses with triple-glazed windows, well-insulated walls and rainscreen siding “because it’s freezing . . . and the key thing we had up there was ...

A study examines the role of passive dynamics in the movement of a desert snake, lending potential insights into the design of limbless robots. Limbless vertebrates such as snakes slither across sandy ...

Recent research has found relationships between frequencies and the passive dynamics at play when vehicles move in air or water toward a better understanding of how to use these forces to enhance ...
