View source for Scaling laws by degree of knownness


== Very widely known ==

ATM barely any descriptions on the listed pages here. Most is on page: [[Scaling law]].<br>
I advise visiting any of the countless sources on the web for details. 

* [[Twice the surface area of half the volume]]
* [[Thousandfold lower mass of tenfold smaller machinery]]
* [[Twice the frequency of half sized machinery]]

== Somewhat known ==

More details here:
* [[Same absolute speeds for smaller machinery]] <br> Usually formulated indirectly by stating that machine frequencies rise linearly with falling size. <br> This one is basically equivalent: [[Twice the frequency of half sized machinery]]
Not a size but a speed scaling law:
* [[Hundredfold smaller frictionlosses from tenfold slowdown]] <br> There might still be dissipation mechanisms that scale differently. <br>See: [[Accidental heatpump bearing]]

== Very poorly known (but very important) ==

* [[Higher throughput of smaller machinery]]
* [[Same relative deflections across scales]]
----
Less relevant but a bit flabbergasting:
* [[Lower stiffness of smaller machinery]]
