In summary, the conversation discusses a model power generation system and the accessories needed to put it in place. The main components of the stand are tie wraps, long screws, and L bars, which rest on a folding table and two small wooden benches. The speaker suggests going to a hardware store to see and touch the necessary materials, as it can be more effective than online research. The term "touchy feely" is mentioned as a real engineering term for hands-on learning.

Given above is a photo of a model power generation system. It's not the machinery that's my concern here. I just want to know the names of the accessories (like rods, screws etc) that are being used to clamp it in position. In fact, I am trying to make a similar kind of model by myself and the basic structuring is complete. Now, I want to know the accessories that are needed to put it in place. I hope there are experienced persons in this forum who have worked with such accessories.

Go to the nearest hardware store, and ask them to show you threaded rods, angle iron, nuts, washers, steel flat stock, and similar stuff. A half hour of touchy feely is worth days of internet interaction.

And yes, "touchy feely" is a real engineering term that applies directly to looking at and handling things to learn about them.
