@MacGyverS2000,
Yes, I understand that.
I used this site to calculate the reaction forces in the lowest arms: https://www.engineersedge.com/mechanics_machines/scissor-lift.htm
My assumption was that I could just sum up weights 1,2 and 3, but I am not sure.
Then I drew the diagrams of the...
@BAretired,
The chimney will discharge the fumes produced by a backup heating system and will only be used less then 500 hours per year. The Chimney has to be 7 meters to have an high enough dilution factor. The chimney has te retract to about 2,5 meters to be out of sight when the backup...
Hello,
For an internship I and a fellow student are designing a retractable chimney. For the mechanism to retract the chimney, we chose a scissor mechanism. We already drew a large part of the chimney in solidworks and know we want to calculate the reaction forces and internal forces that are...
