your eye can only see about 24 frames per second. so when a rotating fan rotates with 24 rounds per resond or 48 rounds per second and so on, your eye will take a "picture" of the fan at excatley the same spot. Your brain then put these immages after each other an you wil see a rotating fan witchs looks like it isn't rotating. I hope you understand my English;P and I hope this answer helps.

What is a saw and what is it used for?

A saw is used to cut things. It can be hand powered or electric. It can be hand held or a stationary machine tool. It may have a straight steel blade or a round steel blade, it may have a loop blade like a band saw.

Because you have some kind of seeing disorder.


What is the difference between MRI Flair and MRI Flair Blade?

The plane of acquisition in BLADE is rotating, vs. a standard FLAIR has a single direction plane of acquisition (e.g. axial or sag). For BLADE, picture a plane rotating on a point like a see-saw, but 360 degrees. BLADE has been demonstrated to correct better for motion and Gibbs artifacts. See Wintersperger et al, 2006 in Investigative Radiology.


Tile saw and cut off saw?

Tile saw, the blade runs in water and is like a small table saw. Cut off saw can use water but usually is dry and is a chop saw. The blade come down into the tile or brick which is in the stationary base.

How does the victa lawn mower work?

The Victa brand is a basic rotating blade lawnmower. The blade rotates at the same speed as the crankshaft of the engine The neat thing is that these mowers have a fan disk and a feature so that if the blade strikes something solid like a large rock it shouldn't destroy the engine. It will still cut off your toes though. And I bet it does a good job mulching.

Why not rotating magnetic field produced in three phase transformer?

When the three phase stator windings are fed by a three phase supply, a magnetic flux of constant magnitude, but rotating at synchronous speed is produced. The flux passes through the air-gap, and cuts the rotor conductors which yet are stationary. Due to the relative speed between the rotating flux and the stationary conductors, an emf is induced. ( Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction ). Since the rotor bars or conductors form a closed circuit, rotor current is produced whose direction as by the Lenz's law, is such as to oppose the very cause producing it. In this case, the cause which produces the rotor current is the relative velocity between the rotating flux of the stator and the stationary rotor conductors. Hence, to reduce the relative speed, the rotor starts running in the same direction as that of the flux and tries to catch up with the rotating flux.
