Camber in a sentence as a noun

Does the push/pull change the toe or camber of front wheels, or something else?

I guess I'd have to give up my 2 degree camber with those wheels but it might be worth it.

It's almost 6" lower than stock, and i'm running -7* camber.

The problem is camber: the side-to-side tilt of the wheel and tire.

Just done some research for you, and looks like they can actually support camber, too!

Planes that often fly upside down typically have low camber wings.

Even if they left the camber settings the same though, the tire contact should still be better with the reduced roll.

Last weekend I just about shat myself when I had the jeep off camber and pointing straight up and down inches from a cliff.

When traveling in a straight line, negative camber reduces the tire's contact with the road and increases tire wear.

And there's always wasteful friction at the road:tire interface due to factors like toe and camber, even when going straight.

The dataset for camber-level 3D GPS maps, for example = large.

Most modern cars have a little bit of negative camber, which increases as the suspension is compressed.

For example DPS Skis has developed the Spoon--"the first ski built with reverse camber forward, back and torsionally.

This is true, but the camber you can use is limited by the fact that you may have to stop the train on the curve without it falling over.

Camber in a sentence as a verb

I have a pronounced negative camber to my shins, so kneeling like that puts almost all my weight on my metatarals.

Increased roll angle will cause more positive camber than the camber curve will decrease it due to suspension compression.

With an SLA suspension, you could just increase the ratio of bottom arm length relative to top arm to get a faster camber curve.

Bringing the top of the wheel closer to the center of the car is called "negative camber" while the opposite is "positive camber".

These are more accurately described, I think, as paper darts - the lack of camber in particular, makes this more of a dart design tool.

The teardrop shape and camber/cupping underneath just make the winds more efficient at slicing through the air without creating as much turbulence and drag.

The relationship between wing camber, angle of attack, and lift is a little more complicated than the post, or the presentation it references, implies.

For example, when you turn sharply into a corner, the wheel's camber helps determine how much of the tire's surface stays on the road, giving you more grip, keeping you in the corner at a higher G-force.

The relationship of compression to camber is called the "camber curve".When the tire is being deformed by cornering forces, negative camber helps more of the tire stay in contact with the road.

If you cannot predict any part of this, you run the risk that the inertia of the car from speed etc >friction => loss of traction, accident, crash etc. This means: If you don't know the "camber" of the turn, your math is a problem.

That's the limit of my knowledge :PI do know however that they are used symmetrically as part of Boeing's "cruise flaps system", which dynamically adjusts all of the control surfaces to optimize wing camber for weight, speed, altitude etc at cruise.

Its a step closer to having a real airplane design tool .. if they can layer the wings and produce camber using the same simple cutout techniques, then we have something even more useful for the budding junior pilots of tomorrow to use to learn how things fly.

This is another instance of the Techie echo-camber getting in the way, so what if some hardcore techies don't like them because Linux is superior, btw it's not, the market at large loves the ads and it's getting them to take a better look at Apple computers, end of story.
