  • Shlall RACING CARS.* by HN CHARLES, B.Sc.7
    500 THE INSTITUTION OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERS. ShlALL RACING CARS.* By H. N. CHARLES, B.Sc.7 (ASSOCIATEMEMBER.) February, 1935. INTRODUCTION. It is undeniable that everybody with a normal sense of values enjoys a clean sporting contest of any kind between adversaries who are fairly and evenly matched. To make the contest a real test of merit it must take place in public, and must be in accordance with the accepted rules. The above requirements are met by motor racing, since thousands of people witness the great long-distance motor races of the present day. The rules usually are also comparatively strict, and fine sportsmanship frequently exists in addition, in connexion with honouring the unwritten rules of the motor racing game. It has been the author’s good fortune during the last few years to be entrusted with the dcsigning of a number of types of what, for the want of a better term, may be briefly described as “ small racing cars.” The work, as it happens, has been entirely carried out for one Company, whose drawing office and experimental depart- ment are combined under his care. Having previously been in daily contact at different times with motor-cycle engines, airship engines, both rotary and stationary aeroplane engines, and a variety of accessories connected with the various types, it was at first some- what difficult to go back to the beginning and start with small engines all over again, but there is a great fascination about these small units, because they provide an almost ideal ground for experiment, the cost of which is greatly reduced by the small size of the parts involved.

In order to address these limitations, we have steering, although our systems do not explicitly employ developed robotic systems that actively steer a needle in those techniques. Clinically, needles are manually steered soft tissue. A bevel (asymmetric) tip causes the needle to through a combination of lateral, twisting, and inserting bend during insertion, and steering is enhanced when the motions under visual feedback from imaging systems such needle is very flexible.

  • Electric Tricycle Project: Appropriate Mobility
    Electric Tricycle Project: Appropriate Mobility Final Design Report 10 May 2004 Daniel Dourte David Sandberg Tolu Ogundipe Abstract The goal of the Electric Tricycle Project is to bring increased mobility to disabled persons in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Presently, hand-powered tricycles are used by many of the disabled in this community, but some current users of the hand-powered tricycles do not have the physical strength or coordination to propel themselves on the tricycle with their arms and hands. The aim of this project is to add an electric power train and control system to the current hand-powered tricycle to provide tricycle users with improved levels of mobility, facilitating freedom in travel and contribution to the community. The design objectives required a simple and affordable design for the power train and controls, a design that needed to be reliable, sustainable, and functional. In response to the request from an SIM missionary at the Handicap Center in Mahadaga, Burkina Faso, Dokimoi Ergatai (DE) committed to designing and supplying a kit to add electric motor power to the current tricycle design, and we, David Sandberg, Tolulope Ogundipe, and Daniel Dourte partnered with DE in their commitment. Our project was advised by Dr. Donald Pratt and Mr. John Meyer. 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………… P. 4 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………… P. 4 1.1 Description...……………………………………………………………… P. 6 1.2 Literature Review………………………………………………………… P. 7 1.3 Solution…………………………………………………………………… P. 10 2 Design Process……………………………………………………………… P. 13 3 Implementation……………………………………………………………..

This drives enable us to have a important feature of this drive is its compactness, low weight multi speed output at right angles by using a single output at and obviously its low cost. right angles by using a single control lever. The design of the drive is based on the principle of friction, hence slip is inevitable, but in many cases the exact speed ratio is not of prime importance it is the multiple speed that are available from the II. BACKGROUND & HISTORY drive that are to be considered. In this typical drive the power is transmitted from the input to the output at right angle at multiple speed and torque by virtue of two friction rollers and A. Friction Drive an intermediate sphere. The drive uses a singular control to effect the speed change, thereby making the operation of the drive extremely simple. Another important feature of this drive A Lambert automobile from 1906 with the friction drive is its compactness, low weight and obviously its low cost revealed.

  • A Friction Differential and Cable Transmission Design for a 3-DOF Haptic Device with Spherical Kinematics
    2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems September 25-30, 2011. San Francisco, CA, USA A Friction Differential and Cable Transmission Design for a 3-DOF Haptic Device with Spherical Kinematics Reuben Brewer, Adam Leeper, and J. Kenneth Salisbury Abstract— We present a new mechanical design for a 3-DOF haptic device with spherical kinematics (pitch, yaw, and pris- matic radial). All motors are grounded in the base to decrease inertia and increase compactness near the user’s hand. An aluminum-aluminum friction differential allows for actuation of pitch and yaw with mechanical robustness while allowing a cable transmission to route through its center. This novel cabling system provides simple, compact, and high-performance actuation of the radial DOF independent of motions in pitch and yaw. We show that the device’s capabilities are suitable for general haptic rendering, as well as specialized applications of spherical kinematics such as laparoscopic surgery simulation. I. INTRODUCTION As the application of haptics becomes more common and widespread, a need arises for haptic device designs which exhibit a slim form factor, are suitable over a range of scales, are mechanically robust, and are capable of general haptic Fig. 1: Our 3-DOF spherical haptic device. rendering as opposed to specialized applications. Spherical kinematics can be used to achieve such slim, scalable designs by concentrating the motors and transmission in the base of capabilities of our device make it suitable for general haptic- the device and leaving a slender, single-link connection to the rendering, and the novel mechanical design improves on user’s hand.

  • Automobile Blind Alleys and Lost Causes
    Automobile Blind Alleys and Lost Causes A collection of articles about innovations in automobile designs that where before their time or failed to fulfil their promise at the time and some that might have, with a bit of luck. I.F.S. The popular image of the automobile before the end of the nineteenth century is at first resembling a horse drawn carriage without a horse but the addition of an engine and transmission, then quickly changing to what became the dominant format of front engine, rear wheel drive, retaining the beam axles and cart springs of horse drawn vehicle, that was produced in evolving form for the next forty years. That is not the full picture as early as the eighteen nineties some engineers produced machines that a simple description of their specification would seem very modern. I have come across the story of an automobile pioneer from my local area in Somerset, England, who produced a number of machines with a two litre engine transversely mounted in the mid position driving the rear wheels, which was common at the time, with independent front suspension, that was not. Despite the size of the engine these where lightweight machines that sported two bicycle style front forks and wheels linked by a transverse leaf spring. This layout wasn’t suitable for heavier machines and wasn’t copied. A couple of machines of the period that were produced with independent front suspension, the Decauville of 1899 and the Sizaire-Naudin of 1908 were lightweight machines and it was the Morgan cycle car first produced in 1910 and then later their cars, that continued to use Morgan style independent front suspension into modern times.

  • Error Analysis of Friction Drive Elements [7018-163]
    Error analysis of friction drive elements Guomin Wang*, Shihai Yang , Daxing Wang National Astronomical Observatories/Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optics and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Nanjing 210042, P.R.China ABSTRACT Friction drive is used in some large astronomical telescopes in recent years. Comparing to the direct drive, friction drive train consists of more buildup parts. Usually, the friction drive train consists of motor-tachometer unit, coupling, reducer, driving roller, big wheel, encoder and encoder coupling. Normally, these buildup parts will introduce somewhat errors to the drive system. Some of them are random error and some of them are systematic error. For the random error, the effective way is to estimate their contributions and try to find proper way to decrease its influence. For the systematic error, the useful way is to analyse and test them quantitively, and then feedback the error to the control system to correct them. The main task of this paper is to analyse these error sources and find out their characteristics, such as random error, systematic error and contributions. The methods or equations used in the analysis will be also presented detail in this paper. Keywords: friction drive, drive system error, error analysis, error calculation 1. INTRODUCTION Normally the friction drive system consists of driving motor-tachometer unit, driving roller, big wheel, control feedback device and coupling, shown as Fig.1 schematically. The main error introduced by these components to the motion accuracy is summarized in Fig.2. Among these errors, some are systematic error which can be calculated or tested with the help of certain instruments, and then compensated through control system.
