AI Thread Summary
To build a simple gear at home, one can start by scribing a gear shape with straight cut teeth on a piece of brass. A hacksaw is used to remove excess material, followed by drilling a shaft hole and filing the gear to achieve the desired shape. Although this method is time-consuming, it is effective for creating functional gears. Additionally, the discussion mentions gear hobbing as a less high-tech alternative for gear production. Exploring rapid prototyping machines is also suggested for those interested in more advanced techniques.

Hi,
I want to build a simple clock of gears.
How I can build a simple gear at home.
Thank you...

You can scribe a gear (straight cut teeth) on a piece of brass. Use a hacksaw to cut off the bulk of the material, a drill to bore out the shaft hole, and then a file to shave everything down to the final shape. Very time consuming, but it will work non the less.
 
rapid prototyping machine?

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...

Thread 'HP Required to move a robot 10meters at 1.5m/sec'

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...
