Writing Vector Loops and Geometric Constraints for a Mechanism with a P1 Joint

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on writing vector loops and geometric constraints for a mechanism featuring a P1 joint. One participant expresses skepticism about the mechanism's feasibility, indicating it may not warrant detailed analysis. There is a question raised regarding whether the inquiry is related to a homework assignment. Additionally, the presence of a P1 joint between links 4 and 5 is noted as a critical detail. Overall, the conversation highlights challenges in analyzing the mechanism due to its implausibility.

How would you write the vector loops and geometric constraints for this mechanism?

Engineering news on Phys.org
Here is an introduction to the method of vector loops :[/PLAIN] Link

The mechanism shown is so implausible that I'm not going to waste any time actually analysing it .

Is this a homework question ?

One thing I forgot to mention is that between link 4 and 5 is a p1 joint.
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
