Title: its my ROW WEE..the ROW BOAT...
Post by: roopeshkrishna on April 17, 2012, 06:48:02 PM
    Friends.. Colleagues.. when ever we think to make a rowing boat, we instantly Googles net, and astonises while looking in to the mechanisms, one used in RC rowing botas, like an RC bike.. it all are based on complex gear boxes, with pricsise lathe work, and some are equpped with four, six, and some eight servos to activate the rowing mechanism.. so, we soon tired while looking in to it all.. leaving the idea behind.. and some of us, istantly rethinks about some robotic gear boxes and complex mechanisms.. if we carefully study the action of the rowing action we will find some thing common in nature.. a cam mechanism.. its all..

and Mother Nature, gave us all ideas around us, if we thinks.. when i was required to make a landing gear demonstrator of a famous fighter aircraft, in big scale, at beginning i feel it as some tough job.. because when retracted, the wheel must be in a flat position under the belly of the fuselage.. but instantly i realizes, that this mechanism is entirely based on Human Hand.. and i demostrated in front of the Officials.. and worked within hours to complete it.. just like that, a rowing boat mechanism is simple, that if we looks carefully.. the entire action can be achieved by two parrallelly linked cams, with drive beams, or can be with individual cam and drive beams..  :thumbsup:

this one is not my first row boat.. i compleated many before, but most of them are done for some Engineering istitutions and Academy.. when i took charge in Academy, as a model instructor, one of the senior Official requested me to make a rowing mechanism.. while, another Senior, came and commented as, "the rowing mechanism is a tougher Engineering project.. and i think some western Engineers done it very complexly..".. but my job was to proove him as wrong.. so, its so easy to make a rowing mechanism and rowing boat..

the idea came in my mind instantly, while looking and cleaning the MILKOOSSA.. after RCying.. anyhow, my teacher was used to come in a rowing boat.. then why i cant make one for her.. ?  sure its the time.. finding some time within serious modelling project is not a problem.. just leave the sleep.. will get about 4 hours at least.. so, done..

the colour of the boat is choosen as Honda Red.. and it looks nice in water..

once again Friends..making a row boat is far easy..we must need some good Coffee along with some omlets..for greater energy.. :giggle:

the craft features..
full hand build electronics..
very low current consumption..
with MP3 player..

i started with a piece of foam board.. the scale of the craft is based on the same doll that i used in MILKOOSSA..

you can see the simple plastic gear box that i used.. the 3 volt motor was reworked for 6 volts.. but because of the light load, the brushes were retained as original..

you can see the simple cam mechanism that made from 5 mm foam board.. this configured as parallel, because of the single gear box..
single gear box, because my idea is to use a conventional rudder on craft..if we wont using any rudder, we can assemble with two identical gear box, to drive oars, then can turn, with the speed variation of each oars..

then can see the completed rowing mechainsm, without oars.. see how simple it all..

Post by: roopeshkrishna on April 17, 2012, 07:23:58 PM
time for the show.. the craft is powered by a simple battery pack..and in full load it dropped mere 600 mAmps, so ample of running time..
and now.. she is in water.. see how stunning she is..

Roopesh sir, you seriously need to do something:
1. Log in to your account on rcindia.org
2. Click on "profile"
3. On the left, under "modify profile", click on "Forum Profile Information"
4. Against the field "RC skills", open the drop-down and select "advanced".

It's high time that you do this or we'll have to ask anwar sir to do.  :hatsoff:  :hatsoff:  :hatsoff:  :hatsoff:  :hatsoff:

Hyd.. from my experience, of years, i learned that, i never become as Advanced, or as Expert, because, what i learned means, whenever we makes a new craft, as in numbers of 10, of a same craft, the whole 10 will behave differently while operation.. more clearly, we always learn new things while working.. again..again.. so how can i become an Advaced in knowledge.. so, still i am a learner.. learning more things while working on more crafts.. so, it is good to be a Beginner.. ( dont angry on me.. its a fact..)..  :salute: :salute: :salute:
