Rotary motion to reversible linear motion

[Brian Rupnow]

There is still something I'm not understanding here. When I go to paste a .jpg of a photograph, I click "insert image" then I click "by url" and then click the picture I want inserted.--The picture shows up, but then when I save my post the picture reverts to a link that gets posted, not the picture I wanted.---HELP

You don't click the picture.

Copy the url from where you are hosting them

Click the insert image icon

Click the right hand link icon that I have ticked

Paste the url into the box.

Click insert

It has been like that for years.

Brian,
The "ATTACH FILES" button(L/H side
below the text window. Click this then select the pic you want from your computer and you are done.
Cheers

I couldn't decide just what to use for a friction wheel, so used a steel "wheel" with a rubber o-ring mounted to it for a friction surface.

I will try it using Brian's link.
Yes it works.

Brian, I have used the O-ring on a wheel with success. I suggest a Nitrile O-ring, for durability?

I did work today, but don't have much to show for it. I finally got over to my material supplier and bought all the aluminum flat-bar for this project. The battery is going dead on my camera, but I have posted the mechanicals with part of the frame done.

Today all of the shafts and gears are mounted and the aluminum frame which supports the gears and shafts is complete. I'm still having trouble pasting a picture, but I'll give you the link to see where I am at currently. I'm very pleased so far.

I just clicked "Attach files" then pasted the link into the search window.

Did not even bother to choose the proper folder or anything, just insert the link into the File name form on the bottom.
Does that help anything?
Greetings Timo

p.s. anyway obviously we can see the pictures if we care.

Brian, Look up "Torotrak" for another interesting drive. = I have never got around to making one, but I like it!

It cleverly uses a sun and planet gearbox to add/subtract motion to a drive, thus making a reversible and variable speed drive. Great for industrial uses and lawnmowers!
