Is there a mechanical way of increasing angular movement?

AI Thread Summary
To achieve a mechanical increase in angular movement, the discussion focuses on using a gear system where point C rotates at twice the angular velocity of point B, both connected to a common pivot point A. Suggestions include utilizing an epicyclic gear system, which involves a sun gear at A, a planet gear at B, and an annular ring gear at C. The relationship DAC = 2DAB is emphasized as a key factor in the design. Additionally, the possibility of incorporating a cam-type linkage or a secondary pivot point is considered to facilitate the desired movement. Overall, the goal is to find an effective mechanical solution for increasing angular movement at point C.

(A) being a common pivot point for (B) and (C). In relationship to (A), I would like to have (C) move twice the DEGREE OF ANGULAR movement as (B).

Any suggestions or thoughts on how I might accomplish this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

I believe that if you increase the centripetal acceleration at point C then it will move at a higher angular velocity.
someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
 
How about an epicyclic gear system? A is the centre of the sun gear, B is the centre of a planet gear, and C a point on an annular ring gear running on the planets?
 
You just described a simple gear joint. Just keep the relation DAC = 2DAB
 
Thanks for the suggestions. While I understand the concept, I'm looking for a mechanical method of rotating (C) twice that of (B) when both are connected to (A). Wondering if I need to consider some sort of a "cam-type" linkage or, possibly, a mechanical link to a secondary pivot point?

Thanks again..
 
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
