SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the essential accessories required for securing a model power generation system to the floor. Key components identified include tie wraps, long screws, and L bars. Participants recommend visiting a hardware store to explore threaded rods, angle iron, nuts, washers, and steel flat stock for effective assembly. Engaging in hands-on exploration, referred to as "touchy feely," is emphasized as a valuable learning method in engineering.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic mechanical assembly techniques
  • Familiarity with hardware components such as screws and rods
  • Knowledge of structural stability principles
  • Experience with hands-on engineering practices
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specifications and applications of threaded rods
  • Learn about the different types of angle iron and their uses
  • Explore the various fasteners, including nuts and washers, and their compatibility
  • Investigate the principles of structural stability in model building
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for hobbyists, engineers, and DIY enthusiasts involved in model building and assembly, particularly those interested in securing structures effectively.

TL;DR
Given below is a photo of a model power generation system. I just want to know the name of the accessories that are being use to fit it to the ground.

Given above is a photo of a model power generation system. It's not the machinery that's my concern here. I just want to know the names of the accessories (like rods, screws etc) that are being used to clamp it in position. In fact, I am trying to make a similar kind of model by myself and the basic structuring is complete. Now, I want to know the accessories that are needed to put it in place. I hope there are experienced persons in this forum who have worked with such accessories.

Overall, I would call that the stand.
Components of the stand include tie wraps, long screws, and a couple of L bars. It all rests on one folding table and two small wooden benches.
 
Go to the nearest hardware store, and ask them to show you threaded rods, angle iron, nuts, washers, steel flat stock, and similar stuff. A half hour of touchy feely is worth days of internet interaction.

And yes, "touchy feely" is a real engineering term that applies directly to looking at and handling things to learn about them.
