Can you power a motor directly form a dynamo?

Yes, like the dynamo on a bicycle that provides power for the light, instead it can run an electric motor with the help of a few cheap diodes(Bridge diode setup)


Can steel tubing be brazed?

Certainly, it is frequently done with silver, brass, and bronze brazing alloys. Brazing steel tubes used to be the predominate method of manufacturing bicycle frames, and some high-end ones are still made that way.


Why does a longer bicycle ramp have better mechanical advantage than a shorter one?

Mechanical advantage is defined as the input force divided by the output force. If both ramps have the same final height, the longer one will generally have the greater mechanical advantage because it requires less overall work from the cyclist to raise the bicycle to a higher potential energy in a uniform gravitational field. The limit to this exists where the ramp becomes so long that it actually takes more energy to traverse than the short since you must account for the work required to maintain forward motion against friction and the climb against gravity. This limiting distance is related to the final height of the ramp.


What is a specialised machine?

There are many examples of a specialised machine. One is the printer used by a computer user. A bacon slicer machine used by a butcher is another. Even a bicycle is a specialised machine that needs a rider to pedal the machine along. Generally, a specialised machine is designed to do one task.

What did the wright brothers do before they flew airplanes?

Before they flew airplanes, the Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, operated a bicycle sales and repair shop in Dayton, Ohio. They used their knowledge of mechanics and engineering from their bicycle business to experiment with flight. Their interest in aviation was sparked by the work of earlier pioneers, and they began conducting glider experiments to understand the principles of flight, eventually leading to the development of their powered aircraft.
