Power Take-Off Systems for WECs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The power take-off (PTO) of a wave energy converter is defined as the mechanism with which the absorbed energy by the primary converter is transformed into useable electricity.

A timed method for the estimation of aeroplane take-off and landing distances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper describes a method by which, without the use of external personnel or equipment, take-off and landing distances of an aeroplane may be estimated.

Take-off speed in jumping mantises depends on body size and a power limited mechanism

open access: yes, 2016
Many insects such as fleas, froghoppers and grasshoppers use a catapult mechanism to jump and a direct consequence of this is that their take-off velocities are independent of their mass.

Changes in long jump take-off technique with increasing run-up speed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The aim of this study was to determine the influence of run-up speed on take-off technique in the long jump. Seventy-one jumps by an elite male long jumper were recorded in the sagittal plane by a high-speed video camera.

Optimum take-off angle in the long jump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this study, we found that the optimum take-off angle for a long jumper may be predicted by combining the equation for the range of a projectile in free flight with the measured relations between take-off speed, take-off height and take-off angle for ...

Optimum take-off angle in the standing long jump [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The aim of this study was to identify and explain the optimum projection angle that maximises the distance achieved in a standing long jump. Five physically active males performed maximum-effort jumps over a wide range of take-off angles, and the jumps ...

Wave energy converter platform stabilisation and mooring load reduction through power take‐off control

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, 2021
Mooring systems are a significant capital cost of a floating wave energy converter and their premature failure negatively impacts operational costs.

Power Take-Off Safety

open access: yes, 1995
The Power Take Off (PTO) Drive, found on most farm tractors, is a major power source for agricultural equipment. The PTO system efficiently transfers mechanical power from the tractor to the implement, but it may present serious hazards to persons who ...

Hydrodynamic Modelling of An Oscillating Wave Surge Converter Including Power Take-Off

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
To estimate the response of wave energy converters to different sea environments accurately is an ongoing challenge for researchers and industry, considering that there has to be a balance between guaranteeing their integrity whilst extracting the wave ...
