How much energy can you store in a rubber band? Obviously, the answer depends on the size of the rubber band. I'm talking about, of course, the energy density or specific energy of an energy storage ...

I blame Destin and his interesting sling shot video. Watch it. In this video, he claims that rubber bands do not act like springs. By "acting like springs" of course he means Hooke's law. This ...

If you are designing a product that requires any sort of smart-motion precision, spring parts that apply constant force or constant resistance are key mechanical design elements to consider. Two of ...

To investigate experimentally the extension of a spring and how it is related to the applied force, and recall that the extension of a spring is directly proportional to the force applied, provided ...

Spring are mechanical devices that store and apply kinetic energy. They’ve been around a long time and continue to play essential roles in a wide range of machines, vehicles, and engineering tools.
