SLIDE 2

Project Description

The goal was to create a kinetic sculpture that utilizes at least 3

engineering principles

Client: Dr. Sarah Oman
Stakeholders: current and future students/faculty

SLIDE 3

Project Description (cont’d)

The sculpture will be displayed in the engineering building
Purpose is to entice potential college students in pursuing a career in

engineering

Inspired by combining art and engineering

Requirements and Specifications

Dylan Lovato April 26, 2019 Kinetic Sculpture 3

Requirements Specifications

Easily Transportable Easily moved by 2 people Less than 150 lbs Fit through a door Cost Effective Budget of $2000 Represent Engineering in a positive way Demonstrate at least 3 engineering principle Aesthetically Pleasing 9/10 will enjoy and appreciate Safety No one can hurt themselves while using the sculpture Durable Must last multiple years in the engineering building

Table 1: Requirements and Specs for Final Design

SLIDE 5

Initial Plans

3D printed prototype
Gear train drives the worm gear
Ring gear is 16 inches in diameter

Figure 3: 3D Printed Prototype

SLIDE 6

Initial Plans (cont’d)

Melt and sand cast aluminum cans
Ring gear, sun gear, planetary gears were to be casted
Crucible failure led to redesign

Figure 9: Hand-Crank

SLIDE 9

Design Details

Utilizes timing belts for

control of speed of gear sets

Ratio of 1.31:1

SLIDE 10

Design Details

Planetary gear set driven by worm gear
Planetary gear set:
Centrally located sun gear
Planetary gears revolve around sun gear
Ring gear encases planetary gears

Design Details

Bevel gear machined on back of

planetary gear set

Figure 12: Bevel Gear Driving U-Joint

SLIDE 12

Design Details

U-Joint connects the gear set to the

Archimedes screw

SLIDE 13

Design Details

Archimedes screw lifts oil

up to the shelf which lubricates the main gear set

Meeting Requirements

Requirements Results Easily Transportable Created a stand with wheels for easy transportation Cost Effective Final product cost less than $1500 Represent Engineering in a positive way Archimedes Screw, 6 Gear Types, Timing Belts,

Cons. of Energy, Metal Casting

Aesthetically Pleasing Received only compliments on the appearance

f the final design

Safety The sculpture is encased in plexiglass Durable The oil lubricates the main gear set. Sculpture should last 15,000+ cycles

Manufacturing

Structure is made from 1.5” x 1.5” Steel Square Tubing
Bulk aluminum was purchased and machined by a CNC mill
Archimedes screw was created using plastic tubing, PVC, and A steel shaft

SLIDE 16

Testing Procedures

To test the sculpture we have run the sculpture for a total of 3,600 cycles
f the ring gear in the main gear set
Ran the system with the worm gear at 1500 rpm
Normal speed is 50 rpm
