Helix angle the helix angle. The efficiency can be plotted versus the helix angle for a constant friction, as shown in the adjacent diagram. The maximum efficiency is a helix angle between 40 and 45 degrees, however a reasonable efficiency is achieved above 15°. Due to difficulties in forming the thread, helix angle greater than 30° are rarely used. Moreover, above 30° the friction angle becomes smaller than the helix angle and the nut is no longer self-locking and the mechanical advantage disappears. In helical and worm gears, the helix angle denotes the standard pitch circle unless otherwise specified. Application of the
Less Than Hero episode received a Nielsen rating of 5.0/9. Zack Handlen of "The A.V. Club" gave the episode an A, saying: "Seeing Leela, Fry, and Bender work together as a team nearly always makes for something grand, and on the whole, “Less Than Hero” doesn’t disappoint. Its ambitions are modest, and it makes the most of them. Plus, it offers the rare chance to see super-heroes being ridiculous for no other reason than they want to. We could use more of that, really." Less Than Hero "Less Than Hero" is the fourth episode in the fourth season of the American animated television
