Just got the following book for the family's Robotics' collection:
"Basic Machines and How They Work" by the US Naval Education and Training
Program Development Center (1994).
This book was made to learn big men about machine basics. And it does. Language
is fairly bureaucratic but always to the point: "Friction is the resistance of
force between two surfaces" and also drawings are small and black/white. Facts
dominate fun. But the price is just right at 7.95 USD - and you can even get it
40 pct. off.
Chapters include:
Levers
Block and Tackle
Wheel and Axle
Inclined plane and Wedge
The Screw
Gears
Work
Power
Force and Pressure
Hydrostatic and Hydraulic Machines
Machine Elements and Basic Mechanisms
Internal Combustion Engine
Power Trains
If you are looking for a basic machine reference with concepts, components and
applications to help you build bots that actually work this may be a good bet.
Or maybe you already know that the max. angle between shafts for a Universal
Joint is 25 degrees?
Play well!
