AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on building an automated guided cart (AGC) using car wiper motors and bicycle wheels. Key concerns include determining the weight limit for the vehicle based on the power of the motors, which has not yet been established. Participants discuss the challenges of mounting bicycle wheels to the small shafts of the wiper motors. There is also a request for sharing design ideas and resources related to AGC. The conversation touches on potential physics topics that could be explored using the automated guided cart.

Hi guys, I am building my own automated Guided CART, using two car wiper motors as my mian motors connected to bicycle wheels, now i want to know how I am going to determine the weight limit that i can put on my vehicle? the power of the car wiper motors are not yet determined

I really don't want to derail, or stray far from your focus, and I promise I'll get back to it, but... How do you plan on mounting bicycle wheels to the motor shaft of a couple wiper motors? they are such small shafts. Sorry if this sounds stupid, I just had a hard time picturing it working effectively.

as far as the power/weight, I found this; http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,5978.0.html
hope it helps!
 
Hi, can you send me your email address i'll send you my design :) this AGC is quite rare that is why I am finding a hard time looking for resources
 
Sure thing! I'll PM you
 
What Physics related topic can be studied using automatic guided cart?
 

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Find 3D Printer & Software Resources for Prototype Creation'

I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
