Vibrot, a simple device for the conversion of vibration into rotation mediated by friction: preliminary evaluation.

While "vibrational noise" induced by rotating components of machinery is a common problem constantly faced by engineers, the controlled conversion of translational into rotational motion or vice-versa is a desirable goal in many scenarios ranging from internal combustion engines to ultraso...
