Electric Eel Wheel. Build Your Own Electric Spinning Wheel. I’ve designed a better electric spinning wheel that is cheaper to make and include detailed build instructions.

Build Your Own Electric Spinning Wheel

I also sell kits for this new version. Here is that project’s homepage. This article is dedicated to Emily. Without her love of spinning and knitting wool I wouldn’t have had willing test subject for my wacky spinning wheel contraptions. Intro to Basic Spinning Wheel Mechanics All spinning wheels have a bobbin and a flyer. There are a wide variety of spinning wheels. This simplification leaves a lot out and you can read more about spinning wheels on Wikipedia or by searching google. The main advantage to an electric spinning wheel is that it can be made smaller and is thus more portable. Overview Iterations Like most engineering problems it took me a few iterations to get everything working well. One This version was never completed.

Two The second iteration worked well and it cost me around $50. Three Four Version four used this dc motor, power supply, and motor controller. Five. Introduction to mechanics. Two basic types of movement rotation (a.k.a. spinning around a center point)translation (a.k.a. change of position) Rotation Translation Complex movements are often combinations of rotation and translation happening at the same time.

Rotation and translation And, of course, real life movement can involve movement in three dimensions, not just the two displayed on this screen. Machines In mechanics, a machine is a device that delivers a movement to a desired location (the output) from a force applied somewhere else (the input). Machines often involve converting one type of movement to another, such as rotary motion to linear motion. This devices transforms rotary motion into linear motion (or vice-versa) by using a mutilated pinion, which alternately drives the top and bottom rack back and forth.

Rotating the disk causes the rod to move to-and-fro. Complex machines are based on simple machines. Inclined planesleverswheel and axlepulleysscrews The inclined plane The lever. Spinning Wheel Sleuth Frequently Asked Questions and Links. 1.

Spinning Wheel Sleuth Frequently Asked Questions and Links

Who invented the spinning wheel? Where and when? 2. What are the basic structures of spinning wheels? Let's discuss spinning wheels in terms of physical properties that we see by looking at them. What does a spinning wheel do? 1) Where is the spindle mechanism, which twists the fibers, in relationship to the drive wheel? 2) What is the source of energy turning the drive wheel? Under horizontal wheels we can further subdivide by whether it has a spindle or a bobbin/flyer.

Bobbin/flyer wheels are foot-powered, i.e., a rod [footman] connects the foot pedal [treadle] to the drive-wheel axle. Vertical wheels all have bobbin/flyer units, and they are foot-powered, i.e., they have treadles. Sometimes components will be doubled, and we find spinning wheels with double treadles, double bobbin/flyers, or double wheels. 3.

архитектурный конкурс ПАРКовка

/ Valeria Zamboni / Italy, Rovereto / Архитектурный объект, Лэнд-арт объект Purpose: Create small urban objects with different functions (small pavilion, sitting point). Concept of the project: Inspired by the typical orthodox domes, the project idea wants recreate with an urban object a social public space to relax or meet people. The figure of the “cupola” is a recognizable image for everybody, locals and tourists. It’s an old cultural element of the city re-think in a contemporary key for a public space. If you look up walking through the city, you will understand that it is a characteristic element of the urban landscape.

Technical description: In the presentation, there are different types of “cupola”. For the budget you can realize or a large pavilion or a combination between a medium/small pavilion with a sitting element (extrasmall type). The materials are plastic pipes assembled on a wood frame. The estimated cost of the project: 2960 $ There are four types of domes:
