Here are some more information for Drive Unit Kart:
Its happened to us all at one time or another: we have been a victim, of stress failure. I myself for example have been enduring a failure of sorts, my tibia broke, and broke at a very important intersection, which required surgery... But, most of us have been observant of a less painful failures:
Failures such as
- A rake breaking in our hands
- Or a board snapping under our feet
- Or even a crack in our go kart frame.
The failure can be traced to some event of high load, or obvious miss-application of design intent:
For example:
- Jumping the go kart
- Or trying to move rocks with the rake
- Or jumping on a board that was too thin
Each one of these instances are descriptions of failure. The funny thing is we can predict failure by assimilating the right information (which is readily available) and using mathematical relationships.
Sounds fancy and complicated, but it really means this:
Things have their breaking point, we can predict this breaking point relatively easily.
So lets get to it...
First of all a basic understanding of how to evaluate failure is needed.
The Science of Failure
Science is a system of thought which relies on cause and effect relationships.
Translation: A cause (a go kart flying at obscene speeds) flies over a jump and lands on all for wheels, but suddenly drops to the ground making ugly scraping sounds (the effect).
What other variables are there to this problem? Well what is the problem exactly? A broken frame!
To the untrained eye, the failure would be perceived to be because the go kart went over the jump, when in reality the failure is because the frame could not handle the jump load.
What Failed?
So what is it about the frame that caused it to fail?
That begs the question, what was the failure exactly?
The frame cracked the tubes underneath the seat and basically ripped the tubes in half and the go kart bent down and scraped on the ground.
So the tubes, cracked, and tore and bent.
To evaluate the problem further, we see that the tube (individually) has a wall thickness, or section of material. This section of material tore, or ripped apart.
Key To Failure
The ripping apart ability of material is key to understanding the basis for what is called stress. In fact most materials have the ability to be stretched, or compressed. Stress is evaluated as the amount of force divided by the area that the force is acting on that the material can take.
Stress = Force/Area
So for example, a solid cable (.0625 inches in diameter wire) is hanging from the ceiling. I put a 100 pound load on the cable. The stress in that cable is 100 pounds divided by the cross sectional area of the cable, or 100 pounds/PiR^2 or 100lbs/ .003 in^2 = 32594 psi
To predict whether the cable would snap or not, the stress would have to be around 36000 psi. Well as you can see, we are really close to 36000 psi and any light bump of the weight would cause it to SNAP!
What we did was little prediction. A .0625 cable can only hold so much load, and 100 pounds is about it!
Okay, how did I know that? Because scientists have observed that steel (mild steel that is) breaks consistently at around 36000 psi stress. In fact special pieces of equipment are designed to just cause material samples to fail, day in and day out. What they are doing is validating material samples made at foundries, and steel mills so that guys like you and me can predict and make things with relative assurance that the gokart we are making will not break in half.
So to recap, stress is defined as Force per unit area or
Stress = Force/Area
It is vital to understand that the area of a part relates to the overall strength of the part, because forces flow through this area.
We understand this very well, when we pick up a large rubber band and compare it to small rubber band. The main difference between the two is the cross sectional area of the rubber band. The larger rubber band has more area to work with, and therefore exerts more force when stretched.
If we were to put 3 small rubber bands together we may equal the same force as the large rubber band, that is because the larger rubber band has 3 times as much area as the smaller rubber bands.
So stress is the force that a section of area can take. Once the force exceeds that areas capacity to hold load it snaps, breaks, or stretches then snaps!
Next time... Sectional Area and the relationship to failure

Camping & The Family Unit
Camping & The Family Unit
Over the years a sad change has taken place in our country, one born out of circumstance and need. A change that defines who we are as a people and a species, yet we never saw it coming, or if we did were to busy to give it much thought. A change that challenges the very structure of our civilization, and threatens the values that have kept us strong in times of crises. That change is within our own families.
My friends the concept of the “Family” as a unit has all but ceased to exist in today's society. Sure we still fall in love, get married, and have kids, but as soon as the kids are out of the infant stage things seem to go down hill. Now don't get me wrong it's not your fault, I know you parents out there love your kids with all your hearts, and I know you kids love your parents. It's just a very busy and stressful world we live in today. In most cases both Mom and Dad have to work to make ends meet, not to mention the meetings, appointments, and the endless running around that it takes just to keep a household functioning properly. So what about the children, well they get introduced to an endless string of substitute parents in the form of, daycare givers, preschool, then their in school where their teachers are in charge, after school there are babysitters, or nannies for those that can afford them. In the evening, depending on Mom and Dad's work schedule, the whole family might be in the house together, but things are different here too.
When I was a kid families would all sit down and eat supper together, maybe discuss their respective days. After dinner, once we all helped clean up, it was off to the living room. There was only one television in the house back then, so we'd all gather around and watch TV for the evening, talking, laughing, maybe even crying (depending on what we were watching) but it was us interacting with each other as a family.
How many times a week does your whole family sit down together for dinner? As for watching TV, most kids have one in their rooms, so they go there to watch, or to play video games, talk on the phone, or chat online. Then in the morning,(again without a family breakfast), we say hello and good bye on our way out the door.
Well I think it's time that we make some changes of our own, not to the fast paced world we live in, that's just going to keep on getting more hectic and stressful with every passing year. We need to make a serious, conscious effort to spend more QUALITY time with our families. That doesn't just mean our kids, there's also our brothers and sisters, our cousins, aunts, uncles etc. some of who we might not have seen in years. It's a shame when we lose touch with friends over the years, but when you lose touch with your family, well that's just wrong. Lets all make a commitment to staying in touch with our families, and if you have children, MAKE some time, do things together, get to know each other again.
I firmly believe that CAMPING is one of the best ways for a family (especially one with kids) to spend time together. You might ask “why not just take a regular vacation”? Because on most vacations everyone will find different activities they would like to do, and you'll all end up going your separate ways (just like at home.) Seriously camping is a relatively inexpensive way to enjoy some real quality time as a family. Now a lot also depends on what you consider camping. To me Rving is not camping, it's just a motel on wheels, (sorry that's just my opinion). Structured campsites are a good option for the first time camper. Those are campsites that have designated spots for each camping group. Or the kind of camping trip I prefer is to National forests that allow tent camping anywhere within their boundaries. When I go camping there is nobody around for miles. Once in awhile you might hear a car in the distance, but other than that it's peaceful. Just us and the sounds of nature. Don't let that intimidate you, we don't have to lug our gear far, we find places, usually when traveling a dirt road, where you can pull your vehicle way off the road and camp close to your transportation.
Camping is a great way for families to bond. During the day you can hike, go horseback riding, swim in the lakes and rivers in the area, take scenic drives, depending where you go there might be miniature golf, go karts, bumper boats, county fairs, gift shops the list goes on and on. (one quick note, when I take kids camping with me I don't let them bring any I pods, DVD players, hand held video games, or cell phones, they take away from the whole point of the trip) I like to gather brochures to get ideas for some indoor activities in the vicinity (or even if you have to drive a little ways) in case there's a rainy day or two. You might find cavern tours nearby, museums, or you can usually find a bowling alley or movie. Then there are cook outs, most of the time you can find picnic areas equipped with grills, or you can carry one of those portable grills with you. The point is these activities will be done together as a family.
After an exciting day you head back to camp, get a nice campfire going, set some folding chairs around the fire, toast marshmallows, make smores, or even cook out on your campfire (although that's not as easy as some people might think) You might be surprised at some of the deep conversations you can get into around a campfire, and you'll feel close to one another, like it should be. After the days activities and relaxing around the fire take it's toll, you'll be ready to go to sleep, so retire to your tent and rest well my friends, your in the arms of Mother Nature, and surrounded by the people you love.

Electric Motor For Kart Help?
I plan to make a fun little kart thing that will power me around. What I need help with is the motor! I know I could pick up an electric scooter motor or wheelchair one but I am looking at industrial motors cause there are more available. Now I weigh 70kg and the unit the motor will drive will say be 10kg so around 80kg all up. what motor will work for me? I look at these motors and read the power and rpm but what is it i need to know? I need torque as i want it to get up and go rapidly but it also doesn't need to go insanely fast!(maximum 20mph or so) Can someone please explain to me what i should look for in a motor before i buy. thanks
You might check Ebay for a 12 or 24 volt 1 Horepower/750 Watt electric motors. Graingers will have them new. You should be able to order them through Tractor Supply if need be. Anything between 1 and 2 HP will get you moving. 1 horse of DC electric translates to roughly 3 horse gas lawnmower engine.
You might find a higher rated voltage permanent magnet type off of an electric treadmill still rated for 1 horsepower. They can be operated at lower voltage potential with increased current draw unless you have the speed controller or hook up a motor speed control circuit to limit current draw to a safer level. Something with a PWM aspect in the power control to control heating and reduce power consumption slightly. You might even get lucky and have the treadmill motor speed control board with MOSFETS that you can modify as well.
If you construct something like what you see on youtube for "bierkeiste" such as http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fqpp-IAXF0 although these are gas powered.
You can increase your road speed by using step pulleys, or better- chain drive. If you remove the coasting clutch from a 10 or 12 speed bike wheel cluster set, you can weld that to the pulley on the front of the treadmill motor. and mount a mate to a hub on your driven axle so the large gear on the motor faces the small gear on the axle (slower startup but higher top speed to a point).
If needed, make a trailer for the batteries and use welding cable for your connections between the driven bierkieste and the trailer with the spare batteries.
