@IRstuff I realized after your first comment that this should definitely be in the homework forum, so I went ahead and threw it in there as well. Thanks for the heads up on that. I just kept it in here as well because of prez's reply for convenience. Do I need to take it down from this forum?
@prex EES is Engineering Equation Solver. It's a program used frequently for thermodynamic and fluids calculations. The coarsest mesh possible is 2mm because it is necessary to have a nod on the outside of the insulation and one on the contact surface with the battery. If you have done anything...
Hey there,
So I'm solving for a hypothetical situation of thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries. The goal is to find the ideal insulating material to ensure that the functional battery does not get above 100 C. Assume that the failing battery is separated from a non-failing battery by a 2 mm...
I didn't know how complicated it would be to install a new shaft in the solenoid, so if it doesn't require much more than basic tools, that is a definite possibility.
@ itsmoked: I will be using an AC solenoid, but the duty cycle shouldn't be an issue. Thanks for the heads up on that though...
Hey all, I am trying to build a scotch yoke system with multiple sliders positioned along a single rocker arm. The issue that I am running into is finding a good way to elongate my electric solenoid shaft.
I can get a solenoid that will give me more than enough stroke length to rotate the...
Thanks for the help everyone. @Timelord- The same day you made this post, I actually stumbled upon that same website and decided to just go with some of their products instead of fabbing my own. Very helpful link nonetheless.
So I am trying to fab some spur gears for a pan motor on a camera positioner. It's going on a UAV and the entire payload will weigh less than 3lbs. I am trying to run the pan motion off a 12V motor rated at 470 rpm and 5mNm torque. The shaft for the pan is going to be supported on a simple ball...
