Sentence examples for propulsive systems from inspiring English sources

The results contribute to our understanding of drag-based propulsive systems and may influence the development of novel underwater robotic systems and limb prosthetic devices for underwater rehabilitation.

This solution offers several advantages with respect to traditional internal combustion engines and even to the existing generation of Hybrid propulsive systems: a reduced engine weight and size, lower emissions, substantially extended range, ease of maintenance, and more efficient braking energy recovery.

This positive correlation may be due to the larger propulsive systems (Fisher et al., 2000) or increased anaerobic efficiency (Webb et al., 1984).

The results demonstrate that the propulsive performance can be indeed improved by proper surface area change in a motion cycle, which will be an inspiration to the design of novel underwater robot propulsive system.

However, the relation is not intuitively self-evident, since the shape of the propulsive system is known to influence the generation of hydrodynamic forces, along with the particular kinematics used, which in turn affect the power consumption.

Moreover, the nonlinear actuator disk method is also employed to investigate, through experimental design techniques, the effect of the key geometrical parameters of the duct onto the efficiency and robustness of this kind of propulsive system.

A gravitational capture occurs when a spacecraft (or any particle with negligible mass) changes from a hyperbolic orbit with a small positive energy around a celestial body into an elliptic orbit with a small negative energy without the use of any propulsive system.

The same cannot, however, be said of the flagellum, the only known example of a freely rotating propulsive system in biology.

Although gas leaks from e.g. the propulsion system and propulsive mass loss mechanism have been discarded as possible explanations for the anomaly, the arguments used against such mechanisms do not apply to global outgassing from the spacecraft.

The wing-sail propulsion system was fitted, and these same controllers re-tested with the wing providing all propulsive thrust.

The analysis of three example missions indicates that these two strategies can facilitate the successful establishment of small satellite constellations in Earth orbit whilst also reducing propulsive requirements, system complexity, and/or cost.
