Just when engineers thought they had mastered tuning parameters and torque curves, along comes AI-driven motion systems to rewrite the rules. Intelligent design tools and adaptive control algorithms ...

On Sept. 20, 1913, rumors were running rampant around North Dakota that J. W. Kennedy, of Mandan, North Dakota, had invented just such a machine. A news clipping about J.W. Kennedy and his perpetual ...

Perhaps the most persistent nonsense in physics: the perpetual motion machine. Bad ideas come and go in physics. But there’s one bit of nonsense that is perhaps more persistent than all others: the ...

There are many technical and commercial factors that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) must evaluate when designing motion control solutions for industrial machinery. Many types of industrial ...

Why AI is taking on impossible challenges. How a perpetual motion machine can power an AI. Why we have to put an explicit explanation about an April 1st article so that the search engines don’t ding ...

Over-engineered automation systems create hidden costs and delays. Right-sizing, openness and resilience offer a smarter path to faster development and better performance. 80% of applications use only ...

Beckhoff’s AL8000 linear motors can now deliver greater accuracy and synchronization with the company’s new TwinCAT Cogging Compensation software. According to Beckhoff, this software enables linear ...

Professor Jiawen Chen and Associate Researcher Yan Wang from South China Normal University, in collaboration with Professor Ben L. Feringa's team at the University of Groningen, Netherlands, designed ...

With Steorn's track record, you'd think that the company wouldn't be in such a hurry to put its "free energy" technology under a microscope. Then again, maybe once it has your €399 (roughly $550) your ...
