High Mechanical Advantage Mechanism
The goal in this project is to design, build, and test a mechanism that will produce the highest mechanical advantage. Mechanical advantage is the ratio of output force to input force. Each team will use a one-pound weight as an input force to their mechanism and try to maximize the output force per mechanism weight. The mechanism will incorporate a linkage system with the option of gears and cam-follower systems. The system performance will be assessed by both minimizing the design weight and the ability
of the mechanism to multiply the input force. Students will utilize materials and manufacturing capabilities from the Manufacturing Teaching Laboratory as well as premade components.
