Cam Follower Mechanism Energy Efficiency

If you want to get free prototype (small model  that you see in video), We will send it free of charge.  You need to email your name, address and phone number at jigar@mechanicalresearch.info

You can see one cam and two follower. Force is applied by follower on cam. Follower come down 6 cm and help cam to rotate 27 cm peripheral length at little less force(70% of force applied on follower.)

Question is what is the benefit of this system?

We get more energy on cam than we use to move follower.

We can decide how much follower move  for particular peripheral length of cam.

I mean follower move  only 6cm for helping cam to rotate 27cm peripheral length.

Force applied by follower will divide in two parts. One is tangential and second is towards the center of cam. Tangential part will help cam to rotate.

If we consider pressure angle 45`, you will get 70% of total force applied in tangential direction of cam.

So total energy loss by follower= force * distance

=100*0.06 (we consider force 100 N and distance 6cm (0.06 mtr))

=6 N-mtr

Energy got by rotation of cam=Force *distance

=70*0.27 (we get 70% of total force in tangential direction so it is 70 and distance is 27 cm so it is 0.27meter)

=18.9 N-mtr

You can get almost 3 times energy on cam than you lose to move follower.

If you use correctly, your production cost will be cut dramatically.

You can see practical model of cam follower mechanism for clean energy. Follower move little bit and help cam to rotate 6 times more peripheral length. Cam can rotate 360 degree using two followers.

 

Model is about using cam for energy generation. You can see green arrow. That is force applied. Force is applied on cam using follower. Follower move up little bit and help to rotate cam at much more peripheral length.

You can see two video attached. You will get the idea.

 

When you apply force on follower, it will help cam to rotate. Follower move up little bit and help cam to rotate lot more peripheral length. We use the energy to move follower. And we get the energy by rotation of cam.

 

You can see green arrow in the video, that is force applied.

 

Question is what is the benefit of this system?

 

We get more energy on cam than we use to move follower.

 

We can decide how much follower move up for particular peripheral length of cam.

 

I mean follower move up only 1cm for helping cam to rotate 10cm peripheral length.

 

Force applied by follower will divide in two parts. One is tangential and second is towards the center of cam. Tangential part will help cam to rotate.

 

If we consider pressure angle 45`, you will get 70% of total force applied in tangential direction of cam.

 

So total energy loss by follower= force * distance

 

=100*0.01 (we consider force 100 N and distance 1cm (0.01 mtr))

 

=1N-mtr

 

Energy got by rotation of cam=Force *distance

 

=70*0.10 (we get 70% of total force in tangential direction so it is 70 and distance is 10 cm so it is 0.1meter)

 

=7N-mtr

 

If you use correctly, your production cost will be cut dramatically.
