Bokena Series pt 2 blog 2: ALAMAK 3D PRINTED GEARS

Image
Hello everyone, welcome back to another bokena series by Dr Abhishek (Self - Proclaimed). Today I will be going through with y'all the concepts of gears. I'm sure most of you have seen a gear system or at least heard of it before.  For those who have somehow forgotten what a gear looks like, here's a picture. In this page, I will describe: 1. The definition of gear module, pitch circular diameter and the relationship between gear module, pitch circular diameter and number of teeth. So what is a gear module?  Gear Module (m) - The size of the gear teeth (z); Typically measured in millimeter (mm) The teeth of the gear are the jaggered metal bit allowing the gear to spin Next I am going to talk about the pitch circular diameter Pitch Circular Diameter (PCD) - An imaginary circle that passes through the points of the 2 interlocking gears. Below is a picture showing both what the Teeth of the gears look like and the Pitch diameter So what is the point of me talking about pitch c...

Bokena Series pt 2 Blog 1: HUH LASER CUTTING NEED DO TEST???

Welcome to part 2 of Dr. Bokena's blog, where I am gonna share more of my chemical engineering experiences. In my previous blog page, I was talking about how my group and I came up with a air purifier and even made a very advanced prototype. Currently, I am taking a continuation module called Chemical Product Design & Development. Do enjoy the nonsense I do during these lessons and practicals. This blog will mainly consist of my laser cutting test experience and what are the things you should look out for when performing a laser cutting session  The 4 important hazards associated to the operation of laser cutting machine and their respective safety control measures (administrative/engineering control) Make sure to not stare at laser beam while the laser cutting is ongoing - It is important to look at the progress of your work incases of any mishaps but staring at the beam many cause eyesight damage  - To prevent this take glimpses at the cutting process, instead of full on...
