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 '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...

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 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
