Week 3 Summary

4/20/12


A basic design of the transmission has been drawn on graph paper. This is the first design so there may be things to change in the future. This design is to have the most torque and most speed. The radii and tooth count has been determined, and all the gears and shafts will be drawn on the computer very soon.

Today in lab, Deepak brought in the housing for the manual transmissions. We used this time to measure the dimensions, holes, and spaces in the housing. We will use these measurements in order to design the most efficient and powerful manual transmission. Deepak has also told us that were is a tutorial to make a gear with teeth. This is crucial to our design so it is important that every member knows how to do this.

In addition, during lab we started to put the Design Proposal together which is due this Friday. We plan on finishing this portion of the module as soon as possible to give us extra time to design.
