The Automotive Differential – lots and lots of gears!
While being absorbed watching videos on a popular social media site, a video appeared talking about the need for a differential on your car. It was very short and didn’t provide a satisfactory explanation of how the design evolved. I searched the internet and discovered a very unique discussion of the principles involved. Surprisingly, it […]
PI – Around and around we go!
Today is PI Day and if there is any number that should be celebrated it is PI. PI shows up in so many formulas and equations in math and science and engineering that it would be virtually impossible to make even a passable list. For mechanical engineers, anything rotating “around and around”, like gears, will […]
Microalgae to Fuel a Tropical Paradise
Researchers at the University of Hawai’i are working on engineering microalgae – small photosynthetic organisms, to produce useful organic compounds like lipids and other long chained molecules. These can be easily converted into fuels and medicine. The key is rewriting the DNA so that the desired compounds are made in large quantities without hurting the […]

Using the Web to Measure Indoor Air Quality
We’ve all used the world wide web to collect information on how to do most anything, from tying a necktie to understanding quantum mechanics (OK, enough with my web searches!). But a study published in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology puts a new “spin” on using the web to measure indoor air […]

Maybe the Matrix was Right, People are Electric
Scientists at the University of Houston and Rutgers University are researching an interesting form of energy found in cells. Most of the energy used by a cell is produced by transforming ATP (adenosine triphosphate) into ADP (adenosine diphosphate). However, the movement and flexing of cell membranes can produce a voltage too. Called flexoelectricity, scientists say […]
