Overview

The class was tasked with making a lift capable of lifting 5 pounds of weight off the group up to a certain height.

What I built

• My group built a lift using a torque belt, rather than gears. We wanted to imitate a CVT transmission that a car has.
• We used helical gears to reduce the stresses that each teeth would feel.

Result

Our project was able to lift the weight in 2 seconds, which was the second fastest in the class.
