I am interested in capturing some of the low voltage electricity coming from a solar panel (that are used to recharge batteries) on a cloudy day. These solar panels come with a charge controller to regulate the electricity that goes into charging the battery, but it rejects all the electricity...

shock suspension? I am looking for a CAD (or autodesk inventor) drawing of a bicycle rear air shock suspension similar to the one in the following link: http://www.sram.com/rockshox/products/monarch-r I tried to ask several bicycle suspension shock manufacturers such as...

In terms of a track or terrain, when the ground is said to have a maximum gradient of 15% what does it mean? I think it means that the tangent of the angle of the maximum elevation on the ground is 0.15, but I'm not sure. Does anyone knows? thanks

I trying to buy the parts of the suspension of the front wheel of bicycles, so that I can incorporate them to a small vehicle that I am building. Does anyone knows what company makes those suspension? do they make them in smaller size?

I am making this small car (wihich is about 4.5 feet in height, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet in length) that weighs about 200 lbs, has six wheels, and that will be running at a maximum speed of 9 miles per hours. Can I use the rear schocks suspensions of some mountanin bicycle to make a suspension...

I read the general principles of how boost type DC to DC converters work. They are made up of an inductor, a capacitor, a MOSFET transistor switch, a diode, and a micro-controller. The micro-controller opens the switch and lets current coming from the input source go to the inductor which then...

I have this design project for a mechanical engineering class, and I need to improve a portable icemaker with a maximum capacity of 1 cubic feet. I don't need to design the whole thing, i just have to select one part or component of the ice maker and come up with ideas to improve it. So, which...
