The nutating motion is widely employed in flowmeters and pumps.
2.
As the feed horn is fixed in nutated feeds, no polarization changes occur.
3.
A nutating disc engine was patented in 1993 and a prototype was reported in 2006.
4.
This uses a bearing that purely nutates, rather than also rotating as for the swashplate.
5.
A nutated feed offsets the antenna at an angle to a fixed feed horn, and then rotates the antenna.
6.
A washplate in the bottom of the tub nutated ( a special wobbling motion ) to bounce, shake, and toss the laundry around.
7.
A variation of a nutated feed makes the feed move in a small circle, rapidly and continuously changing the pointing direction of the beam.
8.
Most early systems used a rotated feed, due to its mechanical simplicity, but later systems often used nutated feeds in order to use the polarization information.
9.
Basically conical scan ( of the non-revolving nutating feed type ), the size of the scan cone cyclically increased and decreased roughly twice a second.
10.
Nutating flowmeters and pumps have similar motions to the wobble of a swashplate, but do not necessarily transform the motion to a reciprocating motion at any time.
