    Adjustable Clamp Arm

    drawoh, Can you elaborate a bit on that? The pot would assumed to be sitting on a typical home stove, so I'm not sure where the rest of the mechanisms would rest at.

    Adjustable Clamp Arm

    JNieman Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, one of the other aspects of our design is to have adjustable shaft of the beaters, possibly it being telescopic. The only problem I can see with that is that it might be difficult to adjust during when placed inside the pot with food in it, but we're...

    Adjustable Clamp Arm

    Well, the main idea of the project is to have more adjustability than the auto pot stirrer on the market i.e. the stirio or robo stir. So, most auto pot stirrer have a top down design where the clamps are attached to the side of the pot to maintain stability of the base where the motor is held...

    Adjustable Clamp Arm

    Hi, I'm working on a design for a food stirrer that is clamped to the top of the cooking pot with a motor-system as the middle base. I'm thinking of using three equal distance threaded "arms" with a clip attached to the end to hold onto the side of the pot. However, I want to make the arms...
