Steering Definition and 63 Threads

Rear wheels' rigid positioning parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle somehow makes the vehicle (two as well as a four wheeler) go around a curve when steered. If the rear wheel is hinged to the frame making deflection about the vertical axis possible (Like the wheels in TV stands)...

hovercraft steering?? hey to u all can someone tell me how will i should estemate the force that i need to apply by the driver in order to move enough tjee rudders?? can i get a ready made system somewhere? thanks..

Consider this situation. A non-rotating wheel is cruising through space such that its velocity vector is at some angle to the wheel plane. (Like when a car slides through ice when the driver turns the steering wheel). When its base touches a surface with friction, it takes a turn and its new...

On a Go-Kart you have two independent steerable front wheels that can be adjusted to steer at different rates. What I am trying to figure out is a formula I can use, converted to degrees or MM, to give the turn angle each wheel must achieve to turn the kart and not create mutual drag and...

hello all i'm creating a prototype for a 3 wheeled car ( 2 wheels at the back & 1 wheel in the front ) motor with the 2 wheels in the back i want to test its stability so i want it to move in a straight line then take a curve can someone suggest a simple mechanism for the steering (from the...

Homework Statement I'm having trouble understanding the physics equations related to Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters (present in the book "Programming Game AI by example"). For those that don't know- Seek is a kind of behavior whereby an object with a given mass, current...

hey, i need some help with a project i am working on. what i am trying to do is take a full size car and turn it into a RC car. however, inorder to keep the car street legal, i need to keep all the controls operable by a person. i am using only off the shelf parts and servos that you can...

hey frnds ... i m 1st year student of DCE and m willing to make a car for college competitions. Till now i was using differential mechanism for turning the car but now i m interested to work on steering mechanism .. so can anyone suggest me how to implement steering mechanism ... :smile:

Hi guys. i need help to make a steering mechanism for a toy car. the car should be able to drive forward and reverse and can be turned. car should be controlled by a wired remote control with maximum of 3 wires. this seems to easy, but I'm still in the first year and do not have knoledge...

I am doing a project in Design & Technology and intend to design a product that is to be used by Playstation 2 (or other consols) users. I have a few questions, which I would be very grateful for if I get a few replies: Do you have a Steering wheel and pedal that you use to play car games with...

Is there a formula which relates the angle of a steering wheel from normal position (theta) and the radius of curvature (r) of the arc that an average vehicle moves through? (assuming power steering, since that's the most common) Such a formula would be useful in calculating centripetal...

Hi. I'm trying to find information about the circuit which controls raytracing within a television CRT tube (the circuit which controls the current through the steering coils deflecting the beam up down left and right)... How is this precise raytracing accomplished... what type of circuit is...

My car has a knob on the radio to control the volume. How would I make another volume control sp that I could put by the steering wheel so I don't have to reach for the knob on the radio?
