Preview of Mechanics
• Why make art move?Because it’s new, it’s fun, it’s challenging, it’s engagingThe tools/methods are widely available, the tools are getting better/easier, the resources are getting better.
• But, IT’S NOT EASY
• Reliability.
• This takes, diligence, creativity, trial and error, and lots of time.

Review of physics principals that are important
• Force - N, Lbf• Distance – in, m• Rotational Distance – degrees, radians• Torque - in-lb, oz-in, N-m • Time – s, min• Basic Geometry• Work (linear) = F*d = joules• Work (rotational) = T * θ, where θ is in radians• Power = W/t = joules/sec = watts (1 W = 1 j/s). • Where else do we know power from? Electrical!• P = I V

Motors
• electrical, hydraulic, or combustion, the same principals apply:
• RPM• Torque• RPM is used to determine the rate of shaft
rotation• Torque and RPM determines Power output (HP,
watts, etc)• Not going to cover IC, Turbine, Thermal, or
Hydraulic

Electrical motors
• AC, Brushed DC, Brushless DC, Stepper DC
• AC, single phase. Simple, cheap, no position control, low starting torque. Works with a triac for speed control (light dimmer, but use a snubber to make sure it turns off, doesn’t false trigger).
• AC, 3 phase. Bigger motors, more common in industrial use (220v, 380v).
