The internal-combustion engine energy-distribution mechanism comprises a first pulley-set and a second pulley-set, whereby it is possible to adjust its radius ratio and change the output load according to the road-surface, output speed and corresponding load to maintain an optimal operating state of engine for a given generator rotational-speed.
The central ring is rigidly connected to a pulley, which controls, via transmission cables and a second pulley of smaller diameter, the arms opening.
In Van de Graaff generators, electric charge is transported to the high-voltage terminal on a rapidly moving belt of insulating material driven by a pulley mounted on the grounded end of the structure; a second pulley is enclosed within a large, spherical high-voltage terminal.
In particular, two cables are wrapped around the drive pulley, fixed to the central command ring (1), the first transmitting motion to a lower pulley (2) part of the lower arm and presenting also a few teeth meshing with the second arm (3), and the second cable driving a second toothed pulley placed atop the forceps arms (4), which meshes with a second toothed pulley (5).
Conversely, the upper pulley sitting on the top of the upper arm, also fixed to a gear, meshing with a second gear and pulley, rotates in the opposite direction.
At one point the rescuers freed Mr. Jones, but a rope and pulley system failed, causing him to become stuck a second time.
Also the wire would need to overcome the resistance imposed by a second wire which would be required to return the pulley to its original configuration.
If, for instance, a weight is suspended vertically from one end of the rope while the other end is attached to a second weight on a diagonal slope, the non-parallel pulley system takes the shape of a triangle with points at the first weight, the second weight, and the pulley.
This configuration gives a system of two coupled equations: a second order one for the mass tied to the spring and a first order equation corresponding to the angular rotation w of the pulley.
Paper lanterns shaped like cottages represented quaint villages while alluding to Japanese influence; overhead a canvas drape on pulley wires served first as a sail and then, perhaps, as an overcast sky.
