Designing a Mechanism for Two Half Circles' Synchronous Rotation

  • Start date Start date
AI Thread Summary
A mechanism is being designed for two half circles to rotate synchronously, utilizing springs and a single input rotational source. The discussion includes ideas about incorporating a crank and slider system to facilitate the opening and closing motion. There is a request for guidance on effectively using springs within this mechanism. Additionally, participants are prompted to consider the purpose of the half circles' movement and whether they function as mirror images. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for developing the mechanism effectively.

Regards Respected Teachers and Members

I would like to draw a mechanism that two half circles should rotate synchronous close and open as a result gears will rotate at same Value , i would like to use springs in this mechanism between circles , the other idea i know that use crank and slider , link from slider attached to both circles as a result opening and closing will happen , but i would like to use springs and the input rotational source should be one as shown in figure

Need guidance about spring using

Thank you

I think we need to step back and look at why the mechanism needs to move the two quadrants or part circles. What will the quadrants be doing ?

Do the part circles move as mirror images about some plane ?
 

Thread 'A practical way to vaporize fuel for high MPG?'

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

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...
