4 & 5 & 6 Bar Linkage & Gears

Description of the Application: "4 & 5 & 6 Bar Linkage & Gears"

This application is designed to simulate the motion of 4-bar, 5-bar, and 6-bar linkage mechanisms, as well as power screws. It provides a comprehensive toolset for engineers and hobbyists alike who are interested in mechanical systems.

Key Features

1. Linkage Simulation: The application supports the simulation of 4-bar, 5-bar, and 6-bar linkage mechanisms. This allows users to visualize and understand the complex motions that these linkages can produce.

2. Gear Ratio Calculator: In addition to linkage simulations, the app includes a built-in calculator to determine gear ratios for both simple gear trains and epicyclic gears. This feature is particularly useful for designing efficient mechanical systems.

3. Power Screw Calculator: The application also features a calculator to determine the diameter and length of nuts for power screws (also known as lead screws). This functionality ensures that users can accurately design their power screw projects.

4. Output Angle Calculation: Users can get the output angle in their 4-bar linkage system. This is achieved by adjusting the input angle using a range slider, which provides a visual representation of how changes in input affect the output.

5. Torque Calculation: The application can calculate the torque (output) in a 4-bar linkage system. This helps users understand the mechanical forces at play within their designs.

6. Line Extension Feature: An additional feature allows users to create and simulate simple skeleton designs of their ideas using the line extension function. This is particularly useful for prototyping and testing different concepts before finalizing designs.
