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 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

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 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
