    Best mouse/input for SolidWorks

    The evoluent mouse basically has your hand and wrist in the same general position as a handshake. With most mice you can press the scroll button (or designated middle mouse button) down to rotate your model around to the desired orientation, so not sure why you like the Perific mouse trackball...

    Best mouse/input for SolidWorks

    I use a "vertical" mouse which helps the stress and strain on the hand and wrist. You don't know how much stress and strain you are coping with all day until you try a new device like this one. They have right hand and left hand versions. You can program each of the 5 buttons to whatever you...

    Gearing ratio

    yes, bikes are great. They are so effecient you would travel 28.3 feet with one turn of the pedals.....that is why they call it the high gear. For comparison the low gear ratio of 1.5 multiplied by wheel size (27) and multiplied again by Pi would give you a distance traveled of 10.6 feet per...

    Gearing ratio

    Bicycle gear ratio..... Nominal gear ratio is Front chainwheel number of teeth divided by rear sprocket number of teeth which will just give you a ratio. This number is typically multiplied by the bikes nominal tire diameter. That number is typically used for comparison for that bike. If you...
