Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Styrning (author unknown): The process of influencing or controlling a technical solution to ensure it performs as desired. It involves directing the operation of machinery or systems to achieve specific outcomes.

  • Mekanism (author unknown): Components within a machine that move and transfer force. These parts work together to convert and transmit energy, enabling the machine to perform its function.

  • Vinsch (author unknown): A machine consisting of a drum and a wire (vajer) used for pulling or lifting objects. It operates by winding or unwinding the wire around the drum to exert force.
