Make Life Accessible - Clear Walk - Drive Pulley - blog 13

20 Jun 2016

It has been a very busy week at work, plus working on 3 major projects at home, plus playing in a softball tournament - so 5 softball games and 2 hockey games, each taking several hours. I did manage to get in about 12 hours on the Clear Walk project, but sleep is hard to come by.

Designing and building the drive pulleys for the Clear Walk solar mirror has been quite an adventure, and a lot more 3D printing than I expected, and it isn't over yet.

I still need to mount the mirrors and the motors, but most of the drive train is figured out, and I think I have most of the hard-to-find components. I need. Still need a bunch of screws etc.

    The pulleys look really good.

     

    I can't wait to see them in action.
