Talk:Contra-rotating

message: The article currently asserts "...resulting in the maximum power of a single piston or turboprop engine to drive two propellers..."
This is asserted, in the article in several places.  The article doesn't try to explain why contra-rotating propellers result in more power.  This should be explained.  Geo Swan (talk) 03:23, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It is not that contra-rotating propellers result in more power, but that more power can be applied to an already size-limited propeller disk area.

Talk:Single-blade propeller

message: One of two flying single blade J-2 Cubs 
 
This is super interesting and totally bizarre, so I did a little research.  The idea is that a single blade would be more efficient than multiple blades because the single blade is always travelling through undisturbed air.  The propeller is counterweighted and mounted eccentrically on the hub to keep it balanced.  It also has fore-aft pivot so the prop pitch self-adjusts to the most efficient angle - you can move the tip of the blade forward and back several inches with your hand. 
Apparently the design worked; in 1939 the Everel prop was tested on a Taylorcraft in a race and won by quite a bit.  However, shortly after the introduction of the prop, powerful 50HP engines were developed which rendered the efficiency gains of the single blade moot.  Considering that the balance of the prop was very fickle in changing weather, the already mechanical complex prop just wasn't worth the effort, so the design never caught on.
It's a nifty bit of engineering and a cool piece of history.

message: Is the Hoberman sphere auxetic? --84.62.204.235 (talk) 07:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice question.  Assuming it retains its spherical shape when pulled along say the x-axis, it would then expand by an equal amount along the other two axes, which would make it about as auxetic as they come.  But I would guess that the spherical shape is only maintained by forcing all six circles to change size with equal forces applied to the circles, which lacks the asymmetry in the definition of "auxetic."  If pulling it apart in one direction caused it to shrink in the other two directions then it wouldn't qualify as auxetic.  Maybe someone who owns one can do the experiment. If it turns out to be auxetic it might give a novel, perhaps even patentable, nanotechnology for making auxetic materials out of Hoberman nanospheres stuck together.  --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 18:34, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Auxetic? 

message: The article says "A Hoberman sphere is not a true sphere, but a polyhedron known as an icosidodecahedron."  Actually it's neither or both depending on how you look at it: it's the projection of an icosidodecahedron onto a sphere.  The edges of any polyhedron are always straight whereas a Hoberman sphere is made up of six circles.  --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 18:17, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: How do you like my replacement sentence?  I inserted the word "typically" because I think I've seen small Hoberman models with a cuboctahedral rather than icosahedral pattern. —Tamfang (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, much better.  Presumably the cuboctahedral version uses four circles.  With three you'd have an octahedron.  I believe those are the only three possible quasiregular polyhedra that one can base a Hoberman sphere on (wish there were more, I could use one with 60 circles).  --Vaughan Pratt (talk) 20:13, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

He had two constitories during his  pontificate, in 1946 and 1953. He offered the red hat to Montini and Tardini an 1953, but they turned it down. He himself noted that at the beginning of his speech to the new cardinals in 1953. Montini did not get the red hat after 1954, because the Pope did not have a third consistory before his death in 1958. This meant that all archbishops, appointed after 1953, who could expect the honor because of tradition and importance of  their city, did not get the red hat (Montini Milan, O’Hara Philadelphia, Cushing Boston, König Vienna, Godfrey Westminster, Barbieri Montevideo,  Castaldo Naples, Richaud Bordeaux,  … and others:  http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/event/cs1958.html)

message: Removing hypothetic consideration about the future:
"a game that presaged what may have happened if the Uruguayans had sought to defend their World title in 1934"
This consideration is stating that, since Uruguay won 3-2 in 1928 against Italy, than a similar outcome was to be expected 6 years after.
With Italy-Spain ending 1-1 and then 7-1 three days after, this speculation about Uruguay-Italy 6 years after is a little bit weird.
