How a circular saw works?

Using a torque force, these clever cutting tools make light work of wood



 Circular saws rely on providing a large ‘torque’ in the centre of a hole in the blade. As a force is applied to one side of the hole, a torque force is created much like when using a spanner on a nut, although signifi cantly faster. When cutting through an object such as wood, the circular saw is placed fl at with the saw pointing down. The wood is clamped in place. By slowly moving the blade through the wood it will produce a clean cut. There are several types of circular saw, most spinning at up to 3,500 rotations per minute (rpm) to make a clean cut through an object. Some connect the motor directly to the saw for a one-to-one speed ratio. Others use a combination of large and small cogs to alter the revolution of the saw and ultimately the speed. For example, by attaching a large gear cog to a smaller one on the blade, usually at a ratio of two to one, a motor turning at 1,750 rpm will actually move the blade at 3,500 rpm

Gullet 

The teeth are designed to remove any material shed from the object it is cutting. This allows for a clean cut with no rough edges.

Double gear 

In this double gear system, a large cog is powering the smaller cog by applying a large torque force, which increases the number of revolutions.


Blade hole

 Although most saws use a round hole, some use a diamond shaped hole for a higher torque force.

Tip

 Carbide is a compound of carbon and iron, which is sometimes used to make the teeth. It is stronger and longer lasting than steel.

Teeth

 For each revolution, the saw will cut further and more swiftly into an object if there are more teeth

How ASPs works?

The Web and the Internet began to really heat up and receive significant media exposure starting around 1994. Initially, the Web started as a great way for academics and researchers to distribute information; but as millions of consumers flocked to the Internet, it began to spawn completely new business models. Three good examples of innovative models include:   • Amazon - Amazon (which opened its doors in July, 1995) houses a database of millions of products that anyone can browse at any time. It would have been impossible to compile a list this large in any medium other than the Web.   • Ebay - Online auctions make it easy and inexpensive for millions of people to buy and sell any imaginable item. It would be impossible to do this at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner with any medium other than the Web.   • Epinions - Thousands of people contribute to a shared library of product reviews. One of the Web's greatest strengths is its worldwide view a...

WHY DO WE SLEEP AND DREAM?

•We spend about one-third of our lives sleeping.  •Why do we invest so much time in sleep?  •The most straight forward answer is that, sleep is restorative, and it replenishes the body's energy stores.  •However, intense neural activity during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, the stage in which most dreams occur, suggests there may be more to the story.  •One theory, which by far has the largest body of evidence, is that sleep plays a critical role in learning and consolidating memories.  •It is probably why infants and toddlers need up to 14 hours of sleep a day, with half of it spent in REM sleep.  •In adults, dreams may also play a role in brain plasticity and learning, which is why sleep-deprived adults perform worse in memory tests and tasks.
