This is the build I am working on at the moment.
I have taken the name of one of my other devices and changed it,
Simple Circumferential Rotary Entrained Wave Device, SCREWD.
I have been playing with a few AIs to go through this setup and the PDF is what Claude.ai wrote up after a short conversation.
The testing, when I get done building, will be a simple test.
I am using 6 little stepper motors as the cross slide assembly and an old DC motor as the generator but instead of an output I will use the motor as a load motor. I will assume a 30% efficient motor and then simply compare the draw for all 6 steppers with and without a load to the input I place on the load motor.
