Our team was tasked with creating an purely mechanical system capable of transmitting torque from a small motor to accomplish a quantitative goal. We utilized a combination of gears, pulleys, bearings, belt drives, and other transmission components to create a system that rotates each flap mechanism at a precise and consistent RPM.

Diligent work went into calculating loading, efficiency, and fatigue values of each and every transmission element. My main responsibilites for this project were the design and fabrication of the flap mechanism, along with assisting in hand calculations.
