Increase Vehicle Efficiency In this forum post, a pulley system that uses less energy is described. The system includes plates that slide over fixed plates using lubrication. The stationary plate is supported horizontally on sliding plates. Load or force (mg) is applied at the center of the stationary plate. This load is equally divided and applied on each sliding plate in a vertical downward direction (mg/2). This mg/2 cos(alpha) helps the sliding plate to slide in nearly downward direction.Post a Reply
