    Abstract: A reduced drag cable for use in vertical wind tunnels and other applications with a change in the spacing and/or size of the strands of a standard twisted wire cable is disclosed. The perimeter strands of one embodiment all have a standard diameter, with the exception of one or more wires with different diameter from the other perimeter strands. The different sized strand forms a helical feature around the cable, creating a non-circular profile to reduce drag in air.

    Abstract: Mesh cells (30) for machine-made netting (51) use pairs of mesh bars (35) made from a continuous length of material and meet at a common coupler (34). Such mesh bars (35) have a lay with a common direction throughout the length of material. In a zig-zag pattern used in knitting machine-made netting (31), the longitudinal axis of symmetry (38) of mesh bars (35) turns at each coupler (34). Towing such mesh bars (35) causes water to flow past pairs thereof in two different directions with respect to their common lay. The directions of water flow are neither parallel nor perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry (38) of the mesh bars (35). As water flows past the mesh bars (35), the cross-sectional shapes of the mesh bars (35) produce a net component of force that is oriented in a direction perpendicular to a combined drag component of force for the mesh bars (35).

    Abstract: To identify the need for replacement of stranded synthetic fiber ropes, preferably ropes of aramide fiber, a torsionally neutral rope construction of load-bearing fiber strands is obtained by having at least two layers of strands laid together in opposite directions so that the torsional forces in the layers of strands compensate each other. If the layers of the strands become weakened by unequal amounts due to wear or external influences, when the rope is under load and running operationally it begins to twist about its longitudinal axis. The twisting of the rope can be made visible by a colored mark or strip extending along the length of the rope to indicate twisting of the rope thereby providing visual identification of the need for replacement of the rope.
