AI Thread Summary
The discussion explores the concept of a spring that could theoretically store and release double the energy in its first half. Participants acknowledge that while such a spring likely does not exist, experimenting with different designs could yield interesting results. The feasibility of this idea raises questions about energy storage and mechanical efficiency. The conversation emphasizes the importance of innovation in engineering to explore unconventional solutions. Ultimately, the concept remains speculative but intriguing for further investigation.

Is there a type of spring that stores the energy of the whole spring and displaces the whole energy into on the first half of the spring? So basically doubling up the energy into the first half. There probably isn't but its worth a try to see if there is.

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...
