Some things im aware of already (providing they are actually correct)?
- Force and movement
- Gears/coggs/chains/Cranks/gears/pulleys
- Bicycles/cars/machines
A few targets i would set to beginning with would be;
- Establish what a mechanical system is, as i cant fully get to grips with this subject if i don't really understand what a mechanical system is? (internet/library)
- Example of mechanical systems, seeing real life examples of a working mechanical system will help apply what i have read and help to better understand
- Create some little cam toys
- metal? when i think of the word mechanical i instantly thing of something made from metal? is this right?
