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
Larger than Life (song) tell ya now there are prices to fame alright." In the chorus, they sing about how having legions of fans has changed their lives, "All you people can't ya see can't ya see/How your love's affecting our reality/Every time we're down/You can make it right/And that makes you larger than life." Stephen Thomas Erlewine of "AllMusic", during his review for "Millennium", picked the song as a highlight from the album, while in its review for "The Hits: Chapter One", he wrote that "it may be more tied to its era, but "Larger than Life" is infectious pop nonetheless."
