  • Rapid development of steering mechanism for three wheel vehicles [Elektronski vir]
    Drstvenšek, Igor ...
    The development of a steering mechanism in a human powered vehicle with two steering wheels tackles two major issues: the lack of space to accomodate steering rods between front wheels, and ... conditions that occur while the vehicle is driving along a curve. The second are analytically describes by the function of the wheel turn depending on an optional radius of the curve. The constructional solution is based on two rope-wheels with variable radii and Bowden cables. Unlike the Ackerman mechanism, the presented solution enables the optimal travel of both wheels through a curve. To prove the practical aspects of the mechanism, several working prototypes were produced using various rapid prototyping and tooling techniques, from 3-D printing to investment casting of aluminium working parts.
