When Galileo's name comes up, most people think about his contributions to observational astronomy. However, he did lots of other stuff including investigating the speed of light. During his time, ...

You might think that if you have a need to measure the speed of a projectile that is too fast for your high-speed camera, you would have to invest in some significantly expensive equipment. That was ...

Two tachometers for industrial and laboratory applications,the CA1725 and CA1727 from AEMC Instruments, measure the rotational speed ofany moving part or device from 6 rpm to 100,000 rpm with a ...

The motion of any object is relative. On Earth we tend to ignore that, because the vast background of the ground gives us a seemingly fixed and absolute frame of reference. Sitting comfortably at our ...

RPM stands for revolutions per minute, and in cars, it measures how many times the engine’s crankshaft makes one full rotation every minute and how many times each piston goes up and down in its ...

With the Speetec, Sick is expanding its product range for speed and length measurement of objects moving in a linear path to include technology that measures directly on the material surface. The ...

If you’ve never seen the International Space Station in orbit, you’re missing out on something awesome. Oh, you don't have a telescope? No problem, the ISS is easily visible at night. True. It looks ...
