I'm interested in toying with eletro-mechanical projects involving AC
& DC motors, gear reduction etc. (as a hobby).

Any suggestions on books or other references on the subject?


Thanks

I think nuts and volts magazine on-line might have some stuff along
the lines of robotics. Googling robot parts should return stuff on
motors, gears. Google "motion control". The motor manufacturers
supply the tech info - torque-speed curves, etc.

Do like a kid and hook up scrap motors to batteries :)

Tons of links at www.tinaja.com

Thanks for the suggestion Mike.

Instead of robotics which seems like most of the literature is geared
for, I'm more interested in higher power sytems such as a motorized
anchor winch for a small boat, motorized wagon, motor assited launch
for inflatable over sandy beach.

I guess I'm looking at projects with the kind of power found on
motorized scooters and electric carts.
