Hello all, I'm new on the forum and will be spending a lot of time here I'm sure, as I am starting a senior design project for my electrical engineering degree. I was wondering if anyone was familiar with a small electric generator, that can be powered by a small RC engine, similar to this...

hi everyone, suppose i have a system of gears where one shaft contains the initial pinion. a drive torque is applied to the pinion shaft so that the pinion then applies a force to the gear its connected to. how would i calculate the forces on the gear shaft? it is a static system (contant...

what formula should i use to calculate the shaft diameter according to the load due to bending and torsion??

There is a rotating shaft which is in contact with a spherical ball. The ball is in contact with an outer casing.The casing is fixed to the ground. I want to estimate the life of the surface which is in contact. There are two surfaces i want to estimate the life for. 1)surface of the...

Hello, I am wondering what the best (and simplest) way to secure a rotor disk to a shaft is. I have a 3" diameter Acrylic disk with a 0.375" hole drilled in it to accept a 0.375" diameter steel shaft. What do you all think? Thanks, Jason O

How can I demagnetize a steel shaft. Heat is not an option. The shaft is 0.6 inches diameter and 3 feet long. Note I have seen several devices for sale that seem extremely expensive. Perhaps, if I know what the actual physical process is, then I can just build a device to demagnetize the...

Hi all, I have a hollow shaft of 2" outside dia to 1.25" inside dia, about 1.5 ft in length.I also have a notch going around the outside periphery of the shaft. The shaft also has 2 holes drilled tranversely through the shaft The shaft will be rotating and will have torsion and probably...

For my Design of Machine Elements class this problem is being posed. This is exactly as the problem is stated. The torque on the 400mm -diameter shaft connecting the flywheel with the jaw mechanism should never go above 700kN m. Dimension a copper square tapered key so that the shaft is not...

Hi there again, I am having problems answering this question A girl wishes to estimate the depth d of a straight mine-shaft. She drops a stone vertically down the shaft and finds that there is an interval of 6 seconds between the instant she dropped the stone at the top of the shaft and...

Ok. assuming that Torque is basically force at an angle (yes that is a very very loose description, I know). would it be fair to assume that net torque would be equal to all torques applied to one rotating shaft? Or are there exceptions to this?

Hello, I'm stuck on this problem and I think its because I am lacking the calculus to get the correct answer. A shaft is turning at 65 rad/s at time = 0. After, its angular acceleration is given by: a= -10.0 rad/s^2 - 5.00t rad/s^3 where t is the elapsed time. Find its angular speed...
