I’m a mechanical engineering student with a fairly open brief for a short project. Have to draw a 3D cad model of a mechanism and do some motion analysis. So i thought i’d ask the fine folk of slrpnk if they had any projects that need a bit of ironing out.
Probably best suited if you have an idea and want see how the parts might move in 3 dimensions. I’d be able to tell you stuff like how much force/torque is in a particular part, letting you know how strong bits need to be.
Has to be a mechanism of some sort that i draw from scratch - let me know what dimensions i need to accomodate. And i have to present it to the class.
I think I’ll see what I can do with this, Does something like this look suitable? From my back-of-envelope calculations, this gives 17000N force (about 1750kg-force like they’ve said).
And then the challenge is to release the pellet, and refill from a hopper containing more biomass material. Can you tell me what biomass material you would be using?
