Dash8 - Q400 - Propeller 1. General The propeller control system consists of the following components: • • • • • Propeller Electronic Control (PEC) Unit Propeller Pitch Control Unit (PCU) High Pressure PCU Oil Pump and Propeller O/S Governor Units (referred to as overspeed governor) Propeller Feathering Pump Propeller System Sensors The function of the propeller system is to modulate the propeller blade pitch to control the propeller speed in flight constant speed modes and in reverse‚ and to

single propeller significantly. However‚ further increases in efficiency can sometimes be obtained from having two propellers in a contra- rotating configuration. Contra-rotating‚ also referred to as coaxial contra-rotating‚ is a technique whereby parts of a mechanism rotate in opposite directions about a common axis‚ usually to minimize the effect of torque. Examples include some aircraft propellers‚ resulting in the maximum power of a single piston or turboprop engine to drive two propellers in opposite

PROPELLER CLOCK OBJECTIVE :- In this project‚ our aim is to use PIC or 8051 microcontroller to control a row of LEDs to function it as a clock. ABSTRACT :- The Propeller Clock is an electronic device which has a series of LEDs on board that rotate with the help of a motor to give an illusion of a watching a clock ( Digital or Analogue ). This requires a DC motor which rotates the PCB connected to it with sufficient speed so as to create the illusion. The LEDs are connected to a microcontroller

Efficient Propeller Design | AbstractHow does a helicopter generate enough lift to fly? How does a speedboat get moving fast enough to pull someone on water skis? Here ’s a project on designing propellers to do the job. ObjectiveThe goal of this project is to investigate how changes in chord length affect the efficiency of propellers.IntroductionA propeller‚ like an airplane wing‚ is an airfoil: a curved surface that can generate lift when air moves over it. When air moves over the surface of

"Propeller Clock" Mechanically Scanned LED Clock Seven light emitting diodes spin‚ giving the illusion of numbers in the air An Overview: Top View Side View How this clock works: A motor spins the "propeller"‚ and a small microprocessor keeps track of time and changes the pattern on seven LEDs with exact timing to simulate a 7 by 30 array of LEDs. It is an illusion‚ but it works nicely. To build this clock‚ few things are needed‚ including: 1. Skill with motors and mechanical

The aircraft propeller looks like a simple mechanism to the uneducated individual. To the educated‚ an aircraft propeller represents the highest sophistication in aerodynamics‚ mechanical engineering and structural design. This report will touch on the history of the propeller‚ from early pioneers/experiments‚ advancement during/after the war‚ all the way up to current applications of the propeller. The creation of the propeller can be traced back to Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci’s “helical screw”

A ‘clock’ is an instrument used to specify‚ record‚ and manage time. The word ‘clock’ comes from the French word “cloche” meaning bell‚ came into use when timekeepers were kept in bell towers in the Middle Ages. Historians do not who or when mankind “invented” a time-keeping device or a “clock”. Probably thousands of years ago when someone stuck a stick in the ground and saw a shadow of the sun move across the ground‚ known as the sundial. (Cummings‚ 1997-2012). After the Samarian culture
