Presentation Transcript

  1. Henry "Bo" Edwards • John Truong Tran • Phong Ngo • Huy Nguyen • Brian Hoffman • Ben Aune Final Presentation August 4, 1999

  2. Releasable Boat Anchor A standard style boat anchor with hooks which can be released from the boat.

  3. Mechanism • Cable Release was investigated but had too many variables • Mechanism released by sliding weight where user drops from boat • Translates even the slightest inertial force of the weight to release the lock

  4. It Works!

  5. Design • Tested in water with minimal release mechanism force required while at only slight inclination. • Strong Components and Overall Strength • Simple - Easy to Operate, Assemble, and Disassemble • Low Cost

  6. Limitations • Design is not full-proof, it’s a luxury • There are too many variables • In most cases the current design will work

  7. Future Work • Use of fixed joints or locked members? • Release Mechanism Guard - Most Likely Release Mechanism Inside the Shaft • Non-Corrosive Materials
