What is the meaning of helical?
Of or pertaining to, or in the form of, a helix; spiral; as, a helical staircase; a helical spring.
A helix refers to a proteins structure?
Protein is a chemical family name. Its shape may be helical. But a helical shape is of a spring type item shape.
What are helical springs?
Helical springs are the typical, common, wound springs used in tension or compression. The term 'helical' comes from the spring being a helix- the wire is wound around a mandrel, advancing along the length of the mandrel as it is wound.
What shape can be said to be 'helical'?
When one uses the term "helical", one is often referring to the shape of a helix or spiral. An object with a spiral or helical shape, is one that has a shape or form similar to the helix.
What is the difference between helical spring and coil spring?
is helical coil and coil spring are the same
What is a helical protein?
"Helical" refers to its structure -- a helix (a spiral). See the related link below for an image.
What are helicle gears?
helical gears offer a refinement over spur gears. The leading edges of the teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation, but are set at an angle. Since the gear is curved, this angling causes the tooth shape to be a segment of a helix. The angled teeth engage more gradually than do spur gear teeth. This causes helical gears to run more smoothly and quietly than spur gears. Helical gears can be meshed in a parallel or crossed orientation. The former refers to when the shafts are parallel to each other; this is the most common orientation. In the latter, the shafts are non-parallel. For a crossed configuration the gears must have the same pressure angle and normal pitch, however the helix angle and handedness can be different. The relationship between the two shafts is actually defined by the helix angle(s) of the two shafts and the handedness, as defined: : : Where β is the helix angle for the gear. The crossed configuration is less mechanically sound because there is only a point contact between the gears, whereas in the parallel configuration there is a line contact. Quite commonly helical gears are used with the helix angle of one having the negative of the helix angle of the other; such a pair might also be referred to as having a right-handed helix and a left-handed helix of equal angles. The two equal but opposite angles add to zero: the angle between shafts is zero -- that is, the shafts are parallel. Where the sum or the difference (as described in the equations above) is not zero the shafts are crossed. For shafts crossed at right angles the helix angles are of the same hand because they must add to 90 degrees.
What are all the advantage of helical spring?
Because it handles both tensile (Expansion) load & Compression Loads...
What is an inclined plane that wraps around a shaft?
The screw could be described just this way. A helical angle, a screw has a helical angle, roll the object on white paper one revolution the indent or marks will show the incline, helical angle.
What shape does a DNA Molecule have?
DNA molecule is shaped like a spiral staircase and is composed of two parallel strands of linked subunits.
What is a spring scale is?
a balance that measure weight by the tension on a helical spring
How is the staircase a symbol of genetics in the movie gattaca?
They are helical in their structure; they look like a strand of DNA (the double helix.)
