What is a trip?

Hammer tricot is a type of machine used to develop a large amount of force on a small area. It uses heavy weight with increased lever. When the device is "buried", the weight purely falls to a predetermined location. A hammer trip can intervene with more energy and accuracy than with a hand hammer because it is mechanically and driven by gravity. This machine was in extensive use in the ancient world, including China and Europe.

up and down are the only two movements that make a trip. It can be increased in several different ways. Some are mostly manual, raised by pushing down to the opposite side of Fulcrum. People with COGS, powered by some external machine, are more commonly increasing. Historically, the water wheels were the primary source of energy for hammers. Sometimes animals were also used, and during the medieval era, windmills have become used for the same purpose. During the industrial revolution, steam was used.

The gravitational force always reduces the trip. Triggering this movement can be manual or aUtomatic. A simple device may have manual release that allows one -time or occasionally repeated use. More sophisticated machines used for larger scale purposes, such as spray grain, are more automated.

Trip Hammers served many features. They were some of the strongest machines available for ancient China, ancient Rome and Europe in the Middle Ages. The first use, in China, was generally associated with the production of edible grain and could have occurred long as 1000 B.C. However, the hammer trip was not described in writing up to 40 B.C. The Romans used these machines for the same purpose, but also used them for mining. Tric hammers could break large pieces of ore into smaller pieces, which made it easier for gold and silver extraction. Sold processes, such as wool treatment and paper production, came to be used.

Power Hammers, still used to this day, have evolved directly from Trip HammErs. They were invented early after the steam was first used in the hammer lifting process. The logical next step was to use steam to add additional strength to the downright stroke of the hammer. Power Hammers now use additional power, compressed air and other mechanisms to optimize energy utilization and maximize force. Trip Hammers are currently not in extensive use, although they are still sometimes designed.
