Tasks followed up:
Materials, winches and bearings suitable for the task were suggested (posted to blog and details also brought to meeting) along with their tolerances and specifications.
Calculations for the design chosen last meeting were attempted and it was established by most group members at the weekend that this design, although probably effective, was too complicated for us to successfully analyse.
As a consequence Designs (1), (2), and (3) were proliferated and given a basic analysis. Designs (2) and (3) were chosen by the group in the meeting.
Tasks for next meeting:
Finalise calculations for designs (2) and (3) to enable a choice of options for final proposal - for thursday.
Think of options for linking parts together - Pinning, slot parts?
Begin materials costings. (Aluminium for legs, steel for boom? - more durable? weight reduction?) (nb. Land-rover payload max 1500kg, tow 3000kg.)
Find weight of electric winches and post examples.
Future meetings:
