9 years ago Hi here we need a discussion to finalize the mechanical design
options:
1. Cart based
2. Rotatory
3. Sliding based
Cart based:
it can be simplifies by resticting motion in 1d but still there is a huge
possibility that ..... cart may run in a particular direction even though it
has
balanced ....it wont look that robust although problem is solved.
Slider based: it has resticted area to move so problem is not with that ....but
pendulum may fall when our slider reaches boundary and its not a very pleasant
condition either if we dont have swing up mechanism....
Although we can try our hands in swing up mechanism later but its not at all
our
primary objective we must concentrate on balancing first to complete our
primary
model as early as possible.
Rotary based: In my view this is the best alternative we have ...b' coz in this
design we have leisure to rotate as many times as it wants ...It has lots of
distance to balance the pendulum. Also we can add on swing up mechanism later
without having to alter the design..Also its a big issue to store the project
in our
room ....slider mechanism would account for a large mechanical body so we have
to
dismantle it to store...rotatory and cart based have smaller bodies to be
stored.
Although last point may seem worthless but its too a important factor if we
want to
go on improve our design....our mechanical design must be robust to last longer.
But give this thing a thot that rotatory based would change equations of motion
or
not...we dont want them to get complex to add on difficulties...
i think they wont because still applied force is in the link below ..only
difference
is locus of the moving rod would be cylinderical surface instead of a plane.
pls post here your views so that we can lock our mechanical design issue. Original comment by mudit.da...@gmail.com on 13 May 2010 at 3:37
