AI Thread Summary
To build a hydraulic robot arm capable of lifting and pouring a cup of water while adhering to a maximum syringe length of 6 inches, leveraging a lever mechanism is essential for extending the reach and height. The design can incorporate a system that multiplies the force applied by the syringes, allowing for greater movement despite the length limitation. Using a combination of syringes strategically positioned can enhance the arm's range of motion. Discussion participants emphasize the importance of mechanical advantage in achieving the desired functionality. Overall, creative engineering solutions are key to overcoming the constraints of the project.

I have to make a hydraulic robot arm that can lift a cup of water up and down 8 inches, pour it and move it left and right 8 inches. Only problem is the assorted syringes we are required to use has a length of at most 6ish inches. How do I make it push farther and lift higher. BTW I can only use 6 syringes max

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...
