One thing I know is that Aluminum oxidizes almost instantly. Oxidized aluminum is gray. So what your seeing is Aluminum oxide. You can not solder aluminum without either a flux that removes the oxide chemically and places a shield, liquid to prevent oxidation or melting a metal alloy and...

Dave, the model I posted for a bush DC motor which applies to all DC motors shows the relationship between speed and current. And the highest current occurs at zero rpm. So a fuse designed for motors will disconnect the motor when locked. Consumer product such as a garbage disposal that...

All windings are insulated from the laminations by the wire insulation, the insulation liner of the slot and the fact that the hottest wire are in the middle of the bundle in a slot. The only placement of the probe that will get even close to a good temperature is potted in the end turn...

This is the curves for the operation of a DC motor. It is for a PM stator and wounds rotor with brushes to control current flow. The curve for a brushless DC motor and a Universal brush motors will be similar unless the electronic limits current. A Brush motor is extremely robust. Do not...

The CAD designed gears are not being cut with a CNC program that would require a very very accurate gear. The freeCAD program allows you to increase that points along the involute. http://www.helicron.net/workshop/gearcutting/gear_cutter/ Is it good enough? However DIY gear are cut with a few...

This is the gear modal 1mm 10 and 6 teeth 20 deg pressure angle and pitch circle. Created by part design work bench on freeCAD21. This is a good design. As you can see this is an undercut gear. The only problem I have seen with the Gear work bench is the clearance at the root of the gear...

Great use of a button gear. A pinion gear shaper tool is used that is geared to rotate with the ring gear bank on commercial machines. (larger OD for cutting root of ring gear and only nee a few teeth on each side of the center) This could be make with the DIY gear cutting approaches found here...

I really like this solution. Your showing a purchased cutter, but a DIY cutter would also work. It is a single tooth cutter.

Weight is a big problem with aircraft so they would use gears to reduce the weight of a flywheel, however; the quality of the gears would be much higher then likely the rest of the gears. This was the case for the gears in torpedoes where noise was an issue. Noise is produced by the same...

A belt is both a dampener and a spring. So there can be situations where in has the resonance near one of the machine's resonance. A directly connected flywheel lowers the resonance frequencies and the amplitude resulting. www.sandv.com › downloads › 0505swan.pdf

This approach will work for both spur and bevel gears. For bevel gears the mod changes along the gear cone. So calculate the mode at the small end of the cone. Pitch Diameter_small end / number of teeth = mod_small end. and Pitch Diameter_large end / number of teeth = mod_large end...

The sand has to be bone dry. Liquid nitrogen requires special vessels to store it and it has a short shelf life. I can not think why the sand stays together after the LN is totally evaporated and is strong enough for pouring hot metal into.

OK, so you trading off more drag and wear since the balls has to be sliding with preset force against each other and on the ball tracks of the nut. I have never seen a ball screw with a cage, but I haven't purposely looked. I do have limited exposure to ball screws. Did they apply the solution...

I said commercial machines which you expanded and added the reason in hobby machines. I agree but as most thing it is a little more complicated. Ball screws do not eliminate back lash so do not save on software to compensate. Understand that a ball screw can be back driven which creates it's...
