The challenges of winding thread or wire on spools

  1. Home

By Khalid on 2007/09/30 - 12:16, last updated 2007/09/30 - 12:16

An article on Slashdot about the failure of a Space tether experiment had a very interesting comment. The comment author mentions how difficult it is to wind spools of any length. He mentions a discussion on spool winding, and companies specializing in spool winding.

Two other experiences attest to the difficulty of this problem:

Fishing reel spool

Anyone who used a cheap $10 fishing rod and reel can attest to how frustrating it is when the reel does not wind the fishing line well. Your casts will be short, and you will spend a lot of time untangling the cheap line.

Knitwear manufacturing

Knitwear yarn must be pre-processed and spooled on cones before it can be fed to knitting machines. This requires special machines to give the yarn the correct tension and eliminate the knots in it. The width of the yarn on the processed cone is many times more the cone's diameter. If a cone with yarn on it gets unwound, it is an unsalvagable mess.

Does CNN Provide TOO MUCH Information?

Wed, 2008/10/08 - 03:42

If you've watched the previous debates, you've noticed the Perception Analyzer at the bottom of the screen. It records the reactions of about 30 "uncommitted" voters - but some say your brain can't devote its full attention to what the debaters are saying and what you're seeing.More..
