The vibration-free engines are here For shipbuilders, vibrations have traditionally been treated as a natural consequence of Newtonian physics, rotational and oscillating forces. The response has been to work around the issue through overengineering: more steel, more cylinders, heavier structures, and restrictions on certain RPM levels. But what if there were a way to eliminate… Read more
