Is there a specific equation or a method to determine the strength, thickness and other dimensions of a circular plate (cam plate) under axial loading and supported at the center of the circular plate (i.e. with a bolt)?
How can we find the bending and deflection of such cases??
I am interested in designing a linear generator (miniature generator)of about 200 W, I would be really thankful if anyone could guide me with selecting the necessary permanent magnets and the coil, in order to achieve this. I have thought of a Halbach array magnet arrangement but I do have...

Hooking up an alternator or a dynamo you can produce electricity, what if several alternators are used for a single bicycle, is it possible to increase the current generated?
Could someone help me with how 'Independent Pedaling System' in a tandem bike works, there are two mechanisms I know of, the Da Vinci's tandem and the Afar IPS. I know that coasting is possible with the free wheeler or the uni-directional bearing that they have used, but how is Independent...
Can someone help me with some links to learn the drive mechanism of the 'Da vinci's independent coasting system' and/ or any other available independent pedaling or coasting system.
I'm hoping to combine the power from two cycling machines to generate a single output.
What do you think is the best way to combine two shafts, in line (coaxial) or parallel, rotating at two different speeds to get a single output? Will a power split device do the work for you, or is there any...
What do you think is the best mechanism to generate power using a bicycle? Is it using a dynamo fixed to the wheel or using a flywheel through a chain drive?
