week 1: Introduction

I am a mechanical engineer student graduating in the Fall of 2019. 

Growing up in many regions in Peru, I found a love for how things work. My uncle owns a company in Peru “EMRECOS GROUP” which is dedicated to the investigation, development and manufacture of equipment for artisanal, mining, agro-alimentary and the installation of protection against the atmospheric discharges (lightning rods). 
At age 9, I have started working with the industrial machinery lathe, Bridgeport milling machines to name a few. By 18, I was soldering mining equipment’s for gold mining extraction.

Since my elementary school, I was inspired by my uncle and 
became passionate about machines and how they work and the realization of the end product.  today, I am interested to learn mechanical process in daily life, structure of vehicles, as well as the fabrication process in a factory and most importantly the power to control  the products through the  electromechanical  systems they posses. 

I would love to be part of this important project, Spartan Superway and be part of the professionals and students who share the same passion to contribute in any way possible to make the Spartan Superway a closer to reality.

WEEK 12: 3D printing for Prototype

This week is spent 3D printing all the parts for the prototype. The CAD is coming along however  3D printing takes longer because we depend Makerspace availability. This is the 3D printed part that will be attached to the body of the slave.  The plans is to secured, fixed (bolted) one side on the torsion spring (the outside) and  apply a force on middle legs. this will counteract  the force applied and create the 50N we expect. It was important to design a housing for the spring so we can attached to the spring and to legs. We are making iterations as we continue receive all printed parts. One important factor was how to hold on to the leg.  the next figures show the the changes.  These two figures are parts of the mechanism that will house the legs on the middle section. as we continue with these models we realized many iterations that have to made and  prototyping provide the opportunity to see that. the two figure will replace...

Week 5 (February 6,2019):Latest current pick up mechanism and current rail design

For the past week, the team have modified the current rail and the current pick up mechanism. The figure above represent last year design. the figure above is the latest design The figure on the right is the mechanism that will make contact with the electric current rail. the legs (L-shaped) are design to fit the the width of the overall Guideway track.

WEEK 6: CAD drawing submitted for fabrication

The week after presentation, helped me to address very important details regarding the current insulator and rail. Also, it helped few modification on the current pick up mechanism to pivot about a joint. I have addressed those details as shown in the figure below. Using SolidWorks, I was able to calculate the tolerance angle as the current pick up mechanism is raised for a maximum on 1 in. a 10 degree angle will be used on the top pivot point.  Additionally, I have sent the final drawing to Turpo Manufacturing company for fabrication. They will be machining some on the parts on this mechanism in exchange of advertising. finally I'll be working on the unistrust channels which will hold our current rail.
