Phase-angle controller for Stirling engines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
An actuator includes a restraint link adapted to be connected with a pivotal carrier arm for a force transfer gear interposed between the crankshaft for an expander portion of a Stirling engine and a crankshaft for the displacer portion of the engine ...

Analysis and modification of a single-mesh gear fatigue rig for use in diagnostic studies [PDF]

open access: yes
A single-mesh gear fatigue rig was analyzed and modified for use in gear mesh diagnostic research. The fatigue rig allowed unwanted vibration to mask the test-gear vibration signal, making it difficult to perform diagnostic studies.

Astex microgravity experiment: simulated asteroid regoliths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
AstEx is a microgravity experiment selected to fly on ESA's 51st Microgravity Research Campaign in November 2009. The experiment will investigate the dynamics of regolith on asteroid surfaces. Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a

Directed flux motor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A directed flux motor described utilizes the directed magnetic flux of at least one magnet through ferrous material to drive different planetary gear sets to achieve capabilities in six actuated shafts that are grouped three to a side of the motor.

Design, characterization, and fabrication of solar-retroreflective cool-wall materials [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Raising urban albedo increases the fraction of incident sunlight returned to outer space, cooling cities and their buildings. We evaluated the angular distribution of solar radiation incident on exterior walls in 17 U S.
