    The turret itself was offset to the left in order to make room for a driver's compartment in the hull. ELC Even 30 ELC Even 30 prototype at Musée des Blindés. The ELC Even 30 was armed with twin 30mm Hispano-Suiza autocannons with fluted barrels mounted on either side of the turret, with two machine guns mounted slightly inboard of these weapons.

    71 km/h (44 mph) on the road. 55 km/h (34 mph) off-road. The Leclerc is a third-generation French main battle tank developed and manufactured by Nexter Systems. It was named in honour of Marshal Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque, a commander of the Free French Forces, who led the 2nd Armoured Division in World War II .

  4. Gun stabilizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_stabilizer

    A gun stabilizer is a device that facilitates aiming an artillery piece by compensating for the motion of the platform on which it is mounted. For naval applications see ship gun fire-control system. Moving land-based systems tend to require more specialized stabilization. Due to the need to fire while in motion, tanks in World War II made some ...

    Turret. The Batignolles-Chatillon 155 mm had a turret installed for rotation of the gun. This make the vehicle unique as other contemporary self-propelled artillery of that period did not have a rotating turret. Armament. The vehicle was planned to inherit the 155 mm gun from the Lorraine 155 mm.

    The M10 tank destroyer, formally 3-inch Gun Motor Carriage M10, or M10 GMC was an American tank destroyer of World War II. After US entry into World War II and the formation of the Tank Destroyer Force, a suitable vehicle was needed to equip the new battalions. By November 1941, the Army requested a vehicle with a gun in a fully rotating turret ...

  7. Euler's rotation theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_rotation_theorem

    A rotation represented by an Euler axis and angle. In geometry, Euler's rotation theorem states that, in three-dimensional space, any displacement of a rigid body such that a point on the rigid body remains fixed, is equivalent to a single rotation about some axis that runs through the fixed point. It also means that the composition of two ...

  8. Optical rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_rotation

    Optical rotation, also known as polarization rotation or circular birefringence, is the rotation of the orientation of the plane of polarization about the optical axis of linearly polarized light as it travels through certain materials. Circular birefringence and circular dichroism are the manifestations of optical activity.

  9. Rotational partition function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_partition_function

    In terms of these constants, the rotational partition function can be written in the high temperature limit as [4] with again known as the rotational symmetry number [5] which in general equals the number ways a molecule can be rotated to overlap itself in an indistinguishable way, i.e. that at most interchanges identical atoms.
