    Electrical How to Make Activated Carbon Stick to Aluminum Foil for DIY Supercapacitors?

    Greetings. I started a new project, I am trying to establish a basic fabrication method so I can test different common household electrolytes when placed between two activated carbon electrode. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwO5zSDThdxFazQyeHM5ZFVEdDg/view?usp=sharing The main problem I am...

    Help needed with an Engineering project

    Hi, pulse motors are fun. This may give you some ideas. The motor does not work without the flywheel.

    How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= Hi, I completed the rotative beam. I plan to use a small DC electric motor to power the input. The output will drive a three phase AC generator. I can measure the current at the input and the output.

    How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?

    http://www.animatedengines.com/watt.html Hi, the first attempt produced poor results. I am altering the project to a rotative beam engine. I plan to replace the steam piston with a pendulum and place weights on just one side of the flywheel. It will still require a energy input to keep the...

    How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpp5_yU99dQ Hi, I have been working on VAWT project but I live in a low wind area. No wind no power. I watched a few videos on youtube of some projects trying to use pendulums to make a motor. So I am trying to fabricate a rotative beam engine that is powered by...

    How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?

    Hi, I was not happy with the test results of the pendulum driving the flywheel using a overrun clutch. I am changing the project to a rotative beam engine. I have completed the beam fabrication, should the beam end be placed directly above the flywheel crank or is there a better position that...

    How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HN4mBojjI_Q Hi, video of manually operating dual pendulum driving a flywheel. Once the flywheel is moving the pendulum keeps the flywheel moving without much effort. Should the weights on the flywheel be place toward the center or toward the outer diameter...

    How Do You Calculate the Power Produced by a Pendulum-Driven Flywheel?

    Hi, a pendulum drives a flywheel using a over run clutch so the flywheel will only spin in one direction. The length of the pendulum is 2.5 meters and the bob weight is 25 kilograms. It is a rigid pendulum. The flywheel diameter is 4 meters. 4.5 kilogram weights are placed at 60 degree...

    Curved Handles: Mechanics Behind the Design

    Hi, the reason why I ask is I am working on a vertical axis wind turbine project. I am looking for away to increase the start up torque. If the blade rotor spokes had a similar configuration would it be beneficial?

    Belts and pulleys for WIND TURBINE ?

    Hi, the only way I have to test the unit is to mount it on the back of my car and than I drive down the road at different speeds and measure the output using a 12 volt battery for a test load. I did find a bearing that I can use to solve the biggest problem of the shaft being pulled off center...
