GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

RESORTE / RESSORT = “SPRING” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about the spring, as in a metal spring not the season.

I wanted to do another STEAM post but about something extremely simple that also has lots of science as well. So today we will learn about the spring.

I will share some interesting facts about the spring that will be both interesting and educational. Enjoy.

⸻

✅ 1. Ancient origins
• Springs go back as far as the 15th century, when early clockmakers used them to drive mechanical clocks.
• Leonardo da Vinci is believed to have sketched spring mechanisms in his notebooks.

⸻

✅ 2. Hooke’s Law
• Most springs obey Hooke’s Law, formulated by Robert Hooke in 1676, which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring is proportional to its change in length (within its elastic limit).

F = k × x
(F = force, k = spring constant, x = extension)

⸻

✅ 3. Made from spring steel
• Most springs are made of high-carbon steel or alloy steel, often called spring steel — known for its amazing elasticity and durability.
• Stainless steel, phosphor bronze, and even titanium are also used for specialized springs.

⸻

✅ 4. Huge variety of types
Springs aren’t just coils! There are:
• Compression springs (squish down)
• Extension springs (stretch out)
• Torsion springs (twist like a clothes pin)
• Flat springs (like leaf springs in vehicles)
• Constant force springs (like those in tape measures)

⸻

✅ 5. Super tiny to super massive
• Micro-springs in medical devices can be smaller than a grain of rice.
• Giant springs in earthquake dampers and bridge supports can be meters long.

⸻

✅ 6. Critical for safety
Springs are used in:
• Car suspension systems
• Firearm firing pins
• Airplane landing gear
• Industrial machinery safety switches
• Electrical contacts

⸻

✅ 7. Springs never really “die” — they fatigue
Springs generally fail due to metal fatigue — after repeated compression/extension, tiny cracks form and eventually the metal breaks. Designers use careful calculations to make sure a spring lasts millions of cycles.

⸻

✅ 8. Springs store mechanical potential energy
• When you compress or stretch a spring, it stores energy — which is why it bounces back when released.
• This is why they are used in wind-up toys, watches, and even retractable pens.

⸻

✅ 9. Springs are tested in space
NASA tests specialized springs for satellites and Mars rovers, where temperature extremes can change the spring’s performance drastically. Springs have to work in -150 °C and +150 °C conditions!

⸻

✅ 10. You use them every day
Springs are hidden in everyday things you may not notice:
• Click pens
• Door hinges
• Mattresses
• Keyboards
• Cars
• Clothespins

I liked the fact about how many things have springs in them that we see and use everyday but may not notice them because they are “hidden”.

I have some pens where I have swapped the springs and ink and now have a little collection of “spare” springs. It is not always possible to switch out components of one thing into another and have it still work the way it was meant to but springs are so simple they become also versatile!

What fact did you find most interesting❓

THESE THREE STEPS BELOW WILL ALLOW YOUR EXPERIENCE OF THE GAME CALLED LIFE TO REVEAL YOUR POTENTIAL

1} LEAD WITH LOVE

2} HONESTLY TRY

3} REPEAT STEP 1 & 2 EVERY DAY

LOVE TRY REPEAT

WHEN YOU ARE GRATEFUL FOR SOMEONE OR SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE DID, LET THEM KNOW🙏🏼

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU❕

Believe in yourself

Don’t be hard on yourself

Allow yourself to see what is possible

Never let doubt be the thing that prevents you from trying to achieve what you desire most

Remember your wins

Learn from your mistakes

Have fun along the way

You have more influence over your health and happiness than you know

DRINK WATER❕

Rest well my LOVES

You are LOVED

I hope you have a GREAT DAY‼️ 😎

PEACE❕

💕 I LOVE YOU WITH ALL THAT I AM 💕

I AM ONLY A HOWL AWAY IF YOU NEED ME 🐾
