Position Loop Equation (Kinematics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the position loop equations for a solar panel deployment mechanism attached to a satellite. The user has defined the lengths of components but is struggling to formulate the y loop equation in a rectangular coordinate system. They are considering whether to switch to local, global, or natural coordinate systems for a solution. Attached files include a system drawing and a reference document for similar mechanisms. The user expresses frustration over the lack of responses to their inquiry.

What will be the position loop equation of the attached file. The system is of Solar Panel Deployment attached to Satellite Body .
The lengths are
AB = Yoke = a
BC=CD=DE = Solar Panles = b

I have been trying to fine position loop equations (i.e x & y ) in rectangular coordinate system but y loop equation is not achievable.
Should I try something in Loacal /Global/ Natural coordinate system.

Two files are attached ...one is of my system's drawing
Other one is a reference document of analysis of this kind of mechanism which is at

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...

Thread 'Bubble formation in 4 mm gap vessel'

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 '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...
