As a rule of design, which is especially true for mechanisms but applies for other designs too, topology comes before geometry. While 3D models...
Actually I have found out that I don't even need my sketches to be realistic. Most of the time, when I draw something it is only very crude...
Should engineer be able to draw? Well, I suppose we deal with mechanical engineers here, because it is pretty obvious that not all engineers need...
Concept B is more beautiful and looks different, which is an advantage. However, concept A is more practical and less risky. I would choose A.
Eureka! Yes Archimedes. Thugh customers hardly ever know what they really want we should still bless them when they come to us with their...

Some noise is inherent to the very nature of gears, though it can be reduced substantially by hellicals. However, you can always try to reduce the...
I am not sure the potentiometer is your best bet, but since you asked here is my analysis: Since you cannot place the potentiometer in the hollow...
Unfortunately friction alone will never keep your chain in the same height for long. it is the result of several factors, including tolerances and...
Years ago I was exposed to a related question: is engineering design an art or a science? My argument that engineering design is more of an art...
