AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on identifying accessories needed to secure a model power generation system to the floor. Key components mentioned include tie wraps, long screws, and L bars, with the setup resting on a folding table and wooden benches. Participants suggest visiting a hardware store to explore items like threaded rods, angle iron, nuts, washers, and steel flat stock for practical understanding. The concept of "touchy feely" is emphasized as a valuable approach to learning about these materials. Overall, hands-on experience is recommended for selecting the right accessories for the project.

TL;DR Summary
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.

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
