ajb Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Anyone know the dimensions of the world's smallest coil spring and what it has been used for? A quick "google" did not throw up any clues. Edited October 13, 2011 by ajb
TonyMcC Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) I don't expect this is the smallest - its probably a developing requirement - but this is certainly small. I "snipped" it from a web page . http://www.d-mec.co.jp/eng/products/acculas/acculas_zoukei.html Edited October 13, 2011 by TonyMcC
Phi for All Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 I can't take it apart to measure it, but it makes my nano-pen go, "Click".
Moontanman Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Aren't some molecules coiled springs? Jellyfish Nematocysts are coil springs....
Psycho Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Aren't some molecules coiled springs? Jellyfish Nematocysts are coil springs.... Protein structures form alpha helices that could be described as a coil spring, don't know if you could really apply it in any engineering sense though.
matty Posted October 16, 2011 Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) Did we arrive at a consensus, was Tony the winner and were you cheating on something from another forum, ajb?--I don't think molecules should count... Edited October 16, 2011 by matty
