After years as a staff editor for engineering magazines, he set up his own consulting firm in technical communications. About the AuthorNeil Sclater switched his career from engineering in the military/aerospace industry to writing and editing in the field of electromechanical and electronic technology. Mr
not source book, but museum Turtleman I am mechanical engineer.I expected to get design examples, but I feel like it is more like "museum" of machinery.There are many devices, but many of them are not analyzed.The pictures are hard to understand, because they look like blueprints drawn by hand.The texts explains only about the history and usage, NOT about how the mechanisms actually works.The book contains many ideas, but not the actual contents.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Edit:I would recommend Machines & Mechanisms: Applied Kinematic Analysis (4th Edition)It is one of the easier textbooks that requires only high school m. Nice NERD book This is a book that will sit around, and be opened a number of times, as you look for new ideas for MAKE projects. Lots of drawings, that are fairly easy to understand, as well as a number of drawings covering how some items are manufactured. I put it right up there with my "How Things Work" books. "Be carefulit" according to Mike Vainstein. I have a Fourth Edition of this book. The book has a wealth of mechanisms and can be a great source of design. However, one should be very careful to use mechanisms based on descriptions and formulas in this book.A very disappointing example can be found on page 7, Fig.1Be carefulit I have a Fourth Edition of this book. The book has a wealth of mechanisms and can be a great source of design. However, one should be very careful to use mechanisms based on descriptions and formulas in this book.A very disappointing example can be found on page 7, Fig.13. The authors claim that depicted mechanism is a Scott Russell Straight Line Generator. Actually, the shown mechanism is not Scott Russell and clearly does not generate straight line.Well, this classic mechanism is very simple. It is easy to figure out why it does generate perfect straight line, and why the mechanism shown in the book, does not do anything close to that. But. .

A new chapter on stationary and mobile robots describes their roles in industry, science, national defense, and medicine. Each illustration represents a design concept that can easily be recycled for use in new or modified mechanical, electromechanical, or mechatronic products. This practical guide will get you up to speed on many classical mechanical devices as well as the hot new topics in mechanical engineering.COMPREHENSIVE INDEX MAKES IT EASY TO FIND SUBJECTS OF INTEREST GLOSSARIES OF TERMS ON: CAMS, GEARS, MECHANICS, MOTION CONTROL, ROBOTICS, WIND TURBINES, PUMPS, AND 3D DIGITAL PROTOTYPING AND SIMULATION COVERAGE OF MOBILE ROBOTS THAT EXPLORE MARS, PERFORM MILITARY DUTIES AND PUBLIC SERVICE, HANDLE AUTOMATED DELIVERY, CONDUCT SURVEILLANCE FROM THE AIR, AND SEARCH UNDER THE SEA DETAILS ON THE MECHANISMS IN RENEWABLE-ENERGY AND WIND-TURBINE AND SOLAR-THERMAL FARMS AND WAVE-MOTION POWER PLANTSMechanisms and Mechanical Devices Sourcebook, Fifth Edition, covers: Basics of mechanisms * Motion control systems * New stationary and mobile robots * New me
