This week we are exploring mechanical systems. We will define what a machine is and see several examples. We will then learn about the difference between torque and force, some of the terms for kinds of motion (oscillating, reciprocating, rotary, etc), and the relationship between torque and speed (especially as it applies to gear trains). We will then learn how to build some of the common basic mechanisms that will be part of many of our projects throughout the semester.
