Synopsis
This user-friendly book is geared toward makers who don't have (or want) a mechanical engineering degree, but need to know the essentials of basic mechanical elements to successfully accomplish their personal projects. The authors, both professional mechanical engineers, provide practical information, and supplement it with the applicable math, science, physics, and engineering theory - without being boring like a textbook. The book features several fully-illustrated, step-by-step projects that demonstrate mechanical engineering topics, and require only common, inexpensive materials and tools to create. Some projects also provide build options to align with the reader's preferences, skills, tools, and materials at hand. Written with humor, a bit of irreverence, and entertaining personal insights into their first-hand experiences, the authors present complex concepts in an uncomplicated way. Mechanical Engineering for Makers: Describes mechanical engineering essentials in a fun and engaging fashion. Provides a diverse array of hands-on projects that use common tools and materials. Explores alternative materials, tools, and processes. Includes real-world insights, like tips and tricks ("Staying on Track") and fail moments ("Lost Track!"). Uses two related projects featured in Make: magazine to illustrate key ideas in each chapter, describing all the individual engineering concepts and how they combine into one system. Learn how to apply professional mechanical engineering principles to your projects, without having to graduate from engineering school! Book jacket., This practical, user-friendly reference book of common mechanical engineering concepts is geared toward makers who don't have (or want) an engineering degree but need to know the essentials of basic mechanical elements to successfully accomplish their personal projects. The book provides practical mechanical engineering information (supplemented with the applicable math, science, physics, and engineering theory) without being boring like a typical textbook. Most chapters contain at least one hands-on, fully illustrated, step-by-step project to demonstrate the topic being discussed and requires only common, inexpensive, easily sourced materials and tools. Some projects also provide alternative materials and tools and processes to align with the reader's individual preferences, skills, tools, and materials-at-hand. Linked together via the authors' overarching project -- building a kid-sized tank -- the chapters describe the thinking behind each mechanism and then expands the discussions to similar mechanical concepts in other applications. Written with humor, a bit of irreverence, and entertaining personal insights and first-hand experiences, the book presents complex concepts in an uncomplicated way.Highlights include: Provides mechanical engineering information that includes math, science, physics and engineering theory without being a textbook Contains hands-on projects in each chapter that require common, inexpensive, easily sourced materials and tools All hands-on projects are fully illustrated with step-by-step instructions Some hands-on projects provide alternative materials and tools/processes to align with the reader's individual preferences, skills, tools and materials-at-hand Includes real-world insights from the authors like tips and tricks ("Staying on Track") and fail moments ("Lost Track ") Many chapters contain a section ("Tracking Further") that dives deeper into the chapter subject, for those readers that are interested in more details of the topic Builds on two related Make: projects to link and illustrate all the chapter topics and bring individual concepts together into one system Furnishes an accompanying website that offers further information, illustrations, projects, discussion boards, videos, animations, patterns, drawings, etc.Learn to effectively use professional mechanical engineering principles in your projects, without having to graduate from engineering school, This practical, user-friendly reference book of common mechanical engineering concepts is geared toward makers who don't have (or want) an engineering degree but need to know the essentials of basic mechanical elements to successfully accomplish their personal projects.
