I was just thinking that last night. I was like there has to be an easier way to do this. I am going to work on that idea today. The mechanism just needs to slosh the liquid around in the keg to facilitate the absorption of CO2 into the liquid.

ok, well I thought this would be a pretty straight forward project. I guess not. I will keep shaking them by hand. Thanks for the help guys.

Ah ok, yes sorry. I meant that the max torque didn't really change.

I don't remember how. Its been 15 or so years since i dealt with anything but static designs. lol

It is to gently rock a keg after it has been filled. With the CO2 feeding into the keg, you gently rock them and it can force carbonate a keg in about 30minutes. Instead of rolling them across my legs while I sit on a chair, I wanted to be able to strap the keg into this and run it for...

Thanks. I have updated the equations to using radians, but it didn't change the torque at all. It would make more sense to me for the torque required to be 89lb-ft, not 89lb-in. I am trying to solve this with trig. But my problem is that it doesn't seem like the usual slider crank mechanism...

I hope that it is okay for me to ask this here. It has been a long time since i did mechanism analysis. I have what I hope is a quick question. I calculate the torque required to rotate crank AB and therefore lift up the link BC to be 88lb-in. I assumed that link AB has no weight, no...
