Horizontal oscillations to vertical.

AI Thread Summary
To convert horizontal oscillations to vertical oscillations, a slider-slider mechanism with two pistons positioned at 90° to each other can be effective, as movement in one piston induces movement in the other. Another option is the Bell Crank Linkage, which requires some play in the movements to function properly. The trammel mechanism, involving two sliders connected by a rigid link, can also achieve this conversion by allowing horizontal motion to drive vertical oscillation. However, it's important to note that energy input is necessary to operate these systems. Exploring these mechanisms can provide viable solutions for the desired oscillation conversion.

I want to convert horizontal type of oscillations to vertical oscillations.
is there any existing mechanism for it?
if not, what should i do.

I believe you can look at a slider-slider mechanism. Imagine a two pistons inside of sleeves which are connected with a rod. The two pistons are 90° from each other. As one of the pistons moves, the connecting rod will force the other piston to move in the opposite direction.

After some research, there is also something called a Bell Crank Linkage, but it needs the horizontal/vertical movements to have some play in them.

You could use the trammel mechanism which consists of two sliders, say one along the x-axis and one along the y-axis, joined by a rigid link. As the vibratory motion moves the horizontal slider, the vertical slider will also oscillate. Energy will be required, however, to move the system, so this is not free.
 

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?'

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
