Final year project on archemedes screw

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on developing a final year engineering project centered around the Archimedes screw and its applications. The original idea stems from a school-level project, but the goal is to enhance its engineering aspects. Suggestions include exploring wind or solar power to operate the device, with references to existing wind-operated models using vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT). Participants emphasize the importance of researching existing technologies and innovations related to the Archimedes screw. The conversation highlights the challenge of elevating a simple concept into a more complex engineering project.

its a college graduation project. it seems high school level topic but that is the challenge. i want to make it engineering types. if you have seen the videos related to this topic, you would see that its a simple hand operated device. i have thought of running it on wind or solar power. any more ideas r welcome!
 
well! Google is your best friend. I have seen wind operated Archimedes screw using VAWT.

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...
