Power Take-Off Systems for WECs [PDF]
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.

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

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
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 ...
