Product Description
At last! The nuts and bolts of building robotics... MECHANICAL DEVICES FOR THE ELECTRONICS EXPERIMENTER Here's the book electronics experimenters have been waiting for... a how-to book for designing and fabricating the mechnical devices for motion and positioning in robotic applications-as well as others. Filled with easy-to-understand illustrations, this unique guide describes in detail how to: design robot propulsion systems; fabricate components for pneumatic systems; design simple hydraulic systems and motor controller circuits; design and fabricate solenoids, gear trains and cams; adapt parts and components for use in electronics experiments. Harness the use of electromechanical forces with plenty of practical advice and applicable theoretical information. Explore the possiblities of ingenious invention...
Book Description
Projects that electronics experimenters undertake often have significant mechanical content in addition to their electronics content. In fact, for projects in the area of robotics, the electronics content is usually secondary to the mechanical content. Written for amateur robot builders as well as electronics and computer hobbyists, this book explains how to design and build mechanical devices that can be used for motion and positioning in robotic applications. Britt Rorabaugh describes in illustrated detail how to: Design robot propulsion systems; Fabricate homemade components for pneumatic systems; Design simple hydraulic systems and motor controller circuits; Select motors for particular applications; Design and fabricate solenoids; Measure motor performance; Design gear trains and cams; Design and fabricate vacuum actuators.

Format:Paperback
I bought this book, but regretted it. There is nothing practical in this book. Mostly introduces lots and lots of different, unrelated, mechanical things such as gears, pulleys, etc. Has a completely useless chapter on walking robots, mostly about linkabes.

A good book if you want too know how to calculate & use mechanical devices like levers / pulleys /motors etc . Technical yes, difficult no - explanations are for the layman.

I opened the first page and it came off in my hands. You would need a doctrate degree in Nuclear Physics to understand but only just barely. How long did it take you to build up this pile of meaningless pages? 5 minutes? Next time you think about putting pen to paper, heres a small piece of advice, don't.
