      I'm not worried about the size of the body, I'm wondering how you're going to get bulb big enough for it.
      If you're making it about 5x larger, you're going to need either an E135 screw fitting and an E135 lamp (this doesn't exist, E27 is the largest screw fitting commercially available), so Alec is going to have to turn a new (damascus) lamp thread and socket and also take up glas blowing. You could go with a B110 fitting, but again B22 is the normal commercial bayonet fitting so there may be some issues sourcing that.

    Hey Alec, great video! Fun and different to the normal content.
    As a mechanical engineer in the crane industry (hook blocks and swivels) can I give you one piece of advise though?
    That shaft that you welded to the plate, you should consider remaking that. Run the shaft through both bearing blocks and through the base of tuning fork and weld it to the top plate. With all the weight that you are gonna put on top that will become a weak point when you start rotating and moving all that mass. It would be a shame if it all comes crashing down!
    If you look at the original lamp you can see they have actually done the same (although probably for manufacturing reasons). If you leave the shaft at the bearing block a bit longer you could thread the end and put a hex nut or halve hex nut on the shaft, secure it with a cotter pin and hey ho presto that thing ain’t going anywhere.
    Looking forward to the end result, cheers!

      Can you explain whether using two pillow block deep groove bearings is really more suitable for axial loads? I don’t quite see the logic in that. Wouldn’t a tapered roller bearing be much more suited to the task?

    • @timplett1
      @timplett1 9 месяцев назад +3

      @@nielscremer599 tapered roller bearings are in fact better for axial loads, however using two he has doubled the lower axial capacity of the deep groove bearings. Using two does also help with the radial forces that will be applied by the giant lever that the rest of the lamp will be.

    • @joey93livenl
      @joey93livenl 9 месяцев назад +4

      One thing they are also forgetting with the upscaling is that the mass is increasing to the power of 3. So 6x6x6 --> 216. So the springs force increase and arm length of the springs should match 216. For example the arm of the spring multiplied by 20 instead of 6, and the spring force multiplied by 10 instead of 6 so --> 20x10 is close to 216. This is also the reason why the larger lamps (of that design) have there rods further apart than the smaller ones.
      The squire cube law.

    • @sanderkoster9680
      @sanderkoster9680 9 месяцев назад +2

      @@nielscremer599There are various reasons why one would use deepgroove bearings.
      To start, one should always use 2 bearings to create a stiff bearing or hinge point. Even though there is limited space between the bearings, this will ensure a hinge with little play or unwanted movement.
      Whether you use a ball bearing or tapered or any bearing for that matter, you should always double up.
      Now I suspect that these pillow blocks are deep groove angular roller bearings. These can take both axial and radial loads, just like tapered bearings. Are they as good as a tapered bearing? No, not as good but they are easy to use and cheap(ish).
      When you use a tapered bearing there has to be a load mechanism in place that keeps constant pressure on the bearing for it to operate as intended. Most tapered bearing constructions will use both a tapered and non tapered bearing: the non tapered for radial and the tapered for axial loads and self centering. It makes it a bit more complex than a bearing block (construction wise) and incorrect setting of the bearings can cause major issues with wear.
      So I would say in this case it is just a simpeler option than to use a tapered bearing.

    @timplett1 9 месяцев назад

    One thing to keep in mind for the pivot points is that there is a sweet spot for friction where it can be moved but the friction helps hold the links in position. This is because you don't get a constant spring force throughout the range of motion, so you can't simply tune the springs to always perfectly support the weight, so some friction is needed to help it balance.
