Just to be aware this isn't homework this is a design concept and although calculations aren't required I'd like to assess a rough assessment of possible power generation figures.
The concept is a weight which pushes down upon the rack hence turning a pinion on a shaft which has lots of of these rack pinion systems, they are all connected to one shaft which in turn is connected to a flywheel/alternator system.
All material I've found to help myself, only looks at an motion input from the shaft not the rack and only looks to solve factor and safety issues (which of course are important).
Would anyone be so kind as to give some pointers or possible documents which may assist me.
Weight applied = 3300 N
Rack and Pinion dimensions we be reverse engineered from possible generator figures.
Regards
Dave
