    Component Green
AI Thread Summary
The green component in question is identified as a type of ratchet mechanism, specifically a ratcheting freewheel mechanism. It allows gears to turn freely in one direction while engaging in the opposite direction. The design is based on the deflection of the ratchet rather than a traditional pivoting arm-and-spring style. There are options for plastic freewheels available commercially, or they can be custom fabricated. The specific design details of the component remain uncertain.

I don't know the name for that specific device, but it is a type of ratchet mechanism.

Edit: To further classify this, one might call it a ratcheting freewheel mechanism. The one thing of which I'm unsure how to classify, is that the ratchet mechanism is based on the deflection of the ratchet, rather than a pivoting arm-and-spring style mechanism.
 
i found the photo on google. I am looking for a plastic gear component that allow gear to turn freely in one direction, but engage in opposite direction. do u have any idea?
 
I'm sure someone makes plastic freewheels, or you could easily have it fabricated for you. As far as that specific design, I don't know.
 

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 '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 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'

Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
