AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a go-kart, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of design parameters such as frame structure, suspension, and kinematic analysis. Key topics include the effects of front taper, chamber angle, and caster angle on performance. The original poster seeks in-depth resources beyond standard textbooks, which often lack detailed analysis. Recommendations include exploring Carroll Smith's books, known for their depth in setup and design principles. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenge of finding thorough online resources for go-kart design.

I am planning to make a go-kart.could someone help me with the design paramaeters?I would like to have a complete idea on the design of the frame (by this i mean to understand the pros n cons of front taper etc used in modern race cars),suspensions etc.

I have gone through much of the standard textbooks and found that they give light on only the different practical accessories used for these various parts.I would like to have an in depth force,kinematic analysis of the frame,suspension etc. starting from the basics and thus bring out the various effects of front taper, chamber angle, caster angle etc.

Any link to a worthwhile site will also suufice.

Has anyone PM'd you back on this question yet? I'm just asking because I don't see any responses to this post in the public part of the forum and was wondering if you've been left waiting for an answer :confused:
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
