    Mechanism Steering
AI Thread Summary
A first-year DCE student is seeking advice on implementing a steering mechanism for a small toy car intended for college competitions. The student initially used a differential mechanism for turning but is now focused on a more effective steering solution. Suggestions include using standard steering linkages from garden tractors or go-carts for medium-sized models, or replicating the simple steering mechanism of RC cars for smaller models. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper writing in future posts for clarity. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for a functional and efficient steering design for the student's project.

hey frnds ...
i m 1st year student of DCE and m willing to make a car for college competitions. Till now i was using differential mechanism for turning the car but now i m interested to work on steering mechanism ..

so can anyone suggest me how to implement steering mechanism ...

:smile:

i knw there r many who can help me and guide me ...
pleasez suggest ...:confused:
 
Welcome to PF, Nxt.
You didn't specify the size of this thing. If it's big, just use a standard steering linkage from another car. One from a garden tractor or go-cart would work on a medium-size model. For a small one, just look at the way an RC car steers and duplicate the mechanism (or transplant it).
In future posts, though, please use proper writing rather than short-form. Most of us have trouble reading that and find it annoying.
 
sorry ...since this was my first post so was not aware of what all to write...
actually i m making a small car , u can say a toy car for car racing competition and design too hold some points that's why i m willing to use steering as it is less implemented ...
i knw one way in which the whole connecting shaft will turn via single motor when turning the front tyres..
but that is not steering , i suppose ...
i need a better way of implementation

and danger what do u mean by an RC car steers ?
 
Model car steering is very simple, really. Both front wheels are mounted on stub axles which are connected to the frame with pivot pins. Each axle has a lever arm that protrudes at 90°. The outer ends of the arms are connected by a bar or rod which is moved side-to-side by the servo.
 
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...
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...
