Re: Elevator Design - Rack and Pinion Cascaded - 772
First off I never mentioned putting constant force springs on the elevator to eliminate almost all of the weight. and the 28lbs included the outside rail, which is not being lifted at all, the mass that is being moved would be almost 0, if not positive from the springs. I talked to Adam Heard last week about their Elevator and the springs so I learned a bit from that, but I may be wrong.
I attached a picture of my Calculations from JVN's Calculator, am I possibly doing it wrong?
