Designing a Satellite with Two Motors

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around designing a satellite-like model that utilizes two motors for movement. One motor is intended for horizontal rotation, while the other facilitates vertical movement. Participants clarify that traditional satellites do not use motors for orbital changes but may use them for rotation. The original poster seeks guidance on controlling the model and understanding its mechanics. The design concept is likened to a spherical coordinate system for better visualization.

hi all


look i haven't finished the control I subject ..and the Dr ask us for a project.

i've got an idea i want to design and satlight with two motor if anyone can help
me with the basic i would be greatfull

if there any site can explain that ..please i need it

You want to design a satellite with two motors? What would the motors be used for?
 
the motor will be used for moving the satellite left and right at the horizintal plan
and the other one to move up and down ..

it's not a satellite letterly

it just the body of it and need to know how to control it ..

thank u

Satellites do not use motors to move (change their orbits). Why not? What do they use instead?
 
Do you mean rotate? Some satellites use flywheels and motors to rotate.
 
yea that is it to rotate
rotate right and left
and up and and down

imagin it like a sphirecal coordinate
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
