AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on designing a go-kart, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of design parameters such as frame structure, suspension, and kinematic analysis. Key topics include the effects of front taper, chamber angle, and caster angle on performance. The original poster seeks in-depth resources beyond standard textbooks, which often lack detailed analysis. Recommendations include exploring Carroll Smith's books, known for their depth in setup and design principles. Overall, the conversation highlights the challenge of finding thorough online resources for go-kart design.

I am planning to make a go-kart.could someone help me with the design paramaeters?I would like to have a complete idea on the design of the frame (by this i mean to understand the pros n cons of front taper etc used in modern race cars),suspensions etc.

I have gone through much of the standard textbooks and found that they give light on only the different practical accessories used for these various parts.I would like to have an in depth force,kinematic analysis of the frame,suspension etc. starting from the basics and thus bring out the various effects of front taper, chamber angle, caster angle etc.

Any link to a worthwhile site will also suufice.

Has anyone PM'd you back on this question yet? I'm just asking because I don't see any responses to this post in the public part of the forum and was wondering if you've been left waiting for an answer :confused:

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet?'

I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
