Impregnate!

Trying to keep a civil tone, but f**k it. My computer crashed last night when working in windows. So now neither windows or OsX will boot. I've moved the harddrive to an external chassi, so I can use it as an external harddrive, and do all my work on the schools computers.

Well, it worked! Atleast partially. The spool need better friction against the rope, and some bigger edges to prevent the rope from drifting off. I however, would like to claim the function-model a smashing success! Took longer than it should, due to the workshops being filled with the freshmen and their introduction to the workshop-course, but thats ok. I'm not supposed to be here anyway, so who am I to complain?

I'm just a bit bummed that I didn't do it earlier. Better late than never, right? And yeah, i had to butcher my old skateboard for one of it's wheels and lathe it down to a good diameter. I'm seriously considering using something similar for the final model. Love how the graphics are still there.

A lot more fun than constructing it in Solidworks..

Playing a bit with Bunkspeed to see what it looks like.

So presentationdates are still not set.. Need to synch this with every one whos going to attend, like supervisor, opponent, examiner, jury etcetc.. So now it looks like it could be later than September.

Presentation date preliminaries

So, had a chat with one of the other supervisors, and it looks like the presentations will be on either the 22nd or 28th of September. That gives me 30 to 36 to finish my design and build the model, hopefully do a small film clip and photograph the winch in a good setting.. Plus write the report and do the slides for pres. All this and to graduate a week before my 28th bday. Keep your fingers crossed.

My concept in progress. A winch without a captive spool, that is self tailing. Modified capstan winch if you will.

Just some illustrations of the idea.
