– Eccentric Shaft – Scotch Yoke* – Crank Arm* – *Adjustment Mechanism
– Develop adjustment mechanism for fine adjustment of eccentricity – Go ahead with the development of Scotch Yoke
– Adjustment Mechanism refined after multiple design iterations – Development of Crank Arm with Adjustment after feasibility issues arose over lubrication of Scotch Yoke

Equations of relative motion were applied to derive the acceleration of the desired deflection assuming a constant angular velocity of the primary shaft. The moment of inertia was than approximated for the conduit with a 100lb cylinder at its end. Assuming the system acted as a pendulum and using the moment of inertia and acceleration we acquired a force. This was then superimposed with the force needed to bend the conduit (cantilever pipe) to the proper deflection. The calculated force was approximately 400lbf. Assuming a factor of safety of 2, the force acting axially on the slider mechanism was approximated at 800lbf.

A solution to an engine crankshaft force analysis was applied to
the slider mechanism, and the pressure force is replaced with the 800lbf axial force due to the vertical conduit.
