Gear Definition and 386 Threads

I am designing a gear train for my basic mechanisms class that consists of three shafts. The input horsepower is 10 and rpm is 1750. I calculated the torque of the first shaft to be 360 but I am not sure if the horsepower stays the same throughout the whole train or not. The first shaft has a...

http://www.lessloss.com/blackbody-p-200.html Only $1,323. Of course, they recommend multiple units to "maximize coverage and effectiveness." There is a lot of sciency stuff on their site and they have lots of other goodies to sell as well.

I have studied how gear trains work for a project I am working on, but can't find an analogous situation where the forces in the gear train oppose each other. Can someone help me? I have a 2:1 gear ratio on a dual rack and pinion gear train connected to opposing pistons, and there is equal...

if we keep a spring attached to a trolley on moving vehicle we find the force by f=kx and the potential energy by 1/2kx^2. thus we calculate the friction, the slope of the road and device an system to automatically change gear.we already know the petrol consumed, speed and acceleration and...

I need to lift 75 pounds when only using 4 pounds of force. Is there a gear set or pulley system that can do that? Thanks

Hi all, I always wondered if the combination of gears used to achieve a specific gear ratio mattered. Assuming the desired gear ratio is 3:1, would it matter if the gears used were 10x30 or 9X27? Thanks in advance.

Hi guy I try to understand how should I calculate the force on a wheel with known radius which is driven by a motor with a known torque and rational speed, in between three gears with known radiuses. Does the number of gears matter for the torque and so for the force on the wheel? (100%...

Hello please see my problem below, 1. A gear train is to be designed to transmit power from shaft 1 to shaft 2 with the following condition: (i) Shaft 1 (driven by an electric motor) rotates at 100 revs min–1. (ii) Shaft 2 is to rotate at 400 revs min–1 in the opposite direction to shaft 1...

I am still trying to visualize horsepower and torque seen on the racetrack, and its hard. Obviously torque is a component of horsepower. Without enough torque, a car would take forever to reach its power-band. With a lot of torque, but merely no horsepower, a car would have a very steady...

Hello all: I have a quick question concerning a variation of a planetary gear train I am working on. If I want a sun gear and then two planetary gears in between the sun and ring gear (like is shown in the attached picture), how do I find the number of teeth for the ring gear? Would the...

Our lab is looking at designing a new ECAP machine (Equal Channel Angular Pressing). It needs to be driven by an electric motor attached to a gearbox. From their modeling and data collected from their existing ECAP machine they are requesting the output shaft on the gearbox to have a 2,000,000...
