Two levers as you've described is one way to do it. If the two points aren't two far apart, a linear bearing setup might do it. A push-pull...
A group of engineers and salesmen are traveling via train to a conference. Each of the salesmen buys a ticket, but the engineers buy only one...
An engineer returns to his room to find it ablaze. He grabs a bucket, fills it with water, pours it on the fire, then keeps pouring until the...
3 Engineers are sitting at the bar, having a conversation along the lines of: “If God were an engineer, what kind of engineer would he be?” The...
I only get 13 ksi or 90MPa, M= 350*2.375 right where the bar exits the tube. But yeah, no point in using stainless; any grade of steel will be...
If you can mold a small undercut in the cap, the plunger can be a loose snap fit into it.
Or a high school physics textbook...
When you propose something that violates the generally accepted laws of physics, the burden of proof is on you. Something to think about: All...
@Justcurioustwo, you need to study the basic physics relationships between force, torque, energy (or work), and power. Hint: They're not the...
Hi Don, I don't know what the engineering job market is like in Spain, but the first thing I would say is that "focusing my career on 2D-3D...
Congratulations, s. weinberg, you won! Now to work on Paul T and his perpetual motion machines... :D
and minus the weight of the air, though admittedly it's insignificant unless you're talking about liquid air at high pressure, which I realize...
I didn't check your numbers, but calculate for yourself how much energy it takes to compress that volume of air to 18 ATM. You'll find it's...
If the harmonic drives are at the joints, increasing the reduction ratio (so the belt moves less for a given amount of joint movement), errors due...
This time for sure... :mad:
Liberals tend to be open minded but can't (or don't care to) do math. Conservatives tend to be less open minded but they can do math. Engineers...
I don't know about gage blocks, but gage pins are often made out 52100 steel, which is a wear and impact resistant alloy often used for ball...
A lever ("see-saw pivot" as you call it) is the simplest way. Or you could do it with cables and pulleys, or a push-pull cable, or gears, or...
Whatever happened to the magical perpetual motion machine with the flipping weights that just needed a better bearing and then you'd amaze the...
Your professor is mistaken. If you document an invention and work on developing it and somebody else applies for a patent for the same invention...
