While weight and mass might affect how fast an objects falls, moment of inertia is the key to speed today! Much like a figure skater pulling their limbs in to speed up a spin, the more mass an object ...

In a state of bewilderment one fine day, I asked a group of three mechanical engineers at this company where I was then employed if they could please explain to me the concept of “moment of inertia”.

We’re all familiar with the magic of the Olympic games. Once every four years, the entire family sits down together to watch a selection of sports that many of us are not routinely exposed to. As a ...

A new theory of inertia could explain how NASA is generating thrust with a new drive design, and may even show them how to make it more powerful. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X ...

The moment of inertia of the load is a key measure for sizing and tuning servomotors. Traditional sizing methods use mathematical equations to accurately estimate the inertia of the load based on ...
