You are a huge inspiration to me. When I choose mechanical engineering over electrical engineering, I was thinking of the pure joy I get from your your channel.
Just bought a wind powered air compressor to pump water out if my deep well on my homestead I'm building. Really excited about what else compressed air can do to keep me off grid. I have a lot of research pneumatic technology! Great video and thanks
I've got an Integra. Fortunately, she's holding up okay, but if problems come up I'll try to post. I've got future plans for transforming it for autoX, but for the time being I just need it to run. There are still some things I could certainly fix on it, so when I do get around to it I will certainly post videos. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you, that was really well explained although it would have been nice if there was an explanation of what an actuator actually was at the beginning (ie something that converts energy into motion)
In the power steering example with the hydraulic actuator, does that mean the valve is changing states each time I change the wheel direction from left to right? I'm curious to learn more about how such a valve would work.
An actuator is a component of a machine that is responsible for moving and controlling a mechanism or system, for example by opening a valve. In simple terms, it is a "mover". An actuator requires a control signal and a source of energy.
How will the hydraulic/pneumatic actuator make the green thing move backwards if the green wall is already at the end, touching the the barrier at the right side
so the actuator on my subaru ez30 intake regulates cruise control? I want to delete it when swapping for a newer plastic intake. Thanks I think this helped me out!
Re: hydraulic/pneumatic actuator: shouldn’t the medium flow the other way - ie from the pump to the reservoir and then through the valve? To me the reservoir in a hydraulic circuit is similar to a large capacitor in an electric circuit- that is - to stabilise the current/preassure
would you be able to explain linear steering, which I think 350z has, want to know what's difference between linear and non linear and non power steering. hopefully makes sense what I wrote not sure how to really explain it properly. also which steering feels better on the road for best feed back.
Does anyone have a good link to efficiency statistics for linear vs hydraulic vs pneumatic vs vacuum actuators and how much work is required to produce how much work on the other end of the system? What losses are in each system? And advantages and disadvantages of each? Actuation speed and frequency/total work the system can do etc.? Thanks.
The syringe ; when the movement goes on right; you want to pump oil to bring it back down. But how is that possible? Wont the stringe leak oil in doing so from top part as there is no closure on top? If so what is this type is syringe called?
I want to learn and understand how to implement the steer by wire system. Kindly help me. How can i learn to seclect the steer motor and the controler. Regards?
hey great video! I was hoping to use a pneumatic air cylinder in a design I have to help elderly users rise from a knelt position, Imagine a kneeling pad that lifts you up. Do you think it would be feasible to use an pneumatic cylinder and an air compressor to do this in a way that would be portable product? I've been trying to work it out but pneumatics is totally new to me. I want the design to be cheap (less than £60/$89), portable (less than 10-15kg in weight) and strong enough to lift a load of say 65-90 kg (132lb-198lb). Any advise would be massively appreciated! I'll be subscribing for more.
hi, i want to open a door that weights aprox 600 pounds and measures 9 x 9 feet. Can you give me an idea of what i need? The idea of using pneumatics for my project its because i know pneaumatics are way faster than electric linear actuators. I want my door to be opened in less than 5 seconds and closed in 5 seconds too is it possible? thanks
