CHAPTER - 1

1. INTRODUCTION
It’s an impressive sight to see a large JEEP SUV carry itself over
stationary vehicles like a superhero-gadget. the ‘hum rider’ was realized with
ScottBeverly, the man behind the visual effects of sci-fi films including
‘interstellar‘, ‘inception‘, and ‘the dark knight‘. most of the SUV’s system
is powered by a gasoline Honda generator mounted underneath, pumping
fluid through 300 feet of hydraulic lines. the ‘hum rider’s’ structure was
also heavily reinforced, and now weighs in at a substantial 8500 pounds.
The driver can raise vehicle’s body above traffic by pressing a switch
on the dashboard. four cameras located beneath the vehicle’s body allow the
driver to visualize what the vehicle is driving over, ensuring the clearances
are met and maintained. unfortunately, the ‘hum rider’ won’t be entering
mass-production any time soon, but this unique custom job could be the
ultimate vehicle for the driver who doesn’t have time to waste.
The SUV’s wheels scoot outward as its bright blue body rises up into
the air on telescoping legs. Then the whole car drives over a line
of cars before sinking back down ahead of the traffic to zip away. If that
sounds like something out of an Inspector Gadget movie, you’re not far off
8|Page
the viral marketing stunt was created by a designer who specializes in jury-
rigging wild apparatuses for Hollywood studios.
The other trick was getting all the hydraulic movement coordinated with only
three valves: wheels out, body up, and drive forward. This makes it easy for
the driver, but it takes 12 hydraulic cylinders to get the car into its upright
position and the cylinders had to be linked so they could lift evenly. “Those
original constraints forced the size of the rig,” he says. “We shoehorned the
rigging into the vehicle to make it work.”
The mid-sized SUV is not the large vehicle that Beverly originally wanted to
use. “I have to admit that [Verizon’s] choice definitely paid off, it definitely
9|Page
looks much better,” he says. “My performance comes from people who have
creative ideas and I make those creative ideas work.”
The build for the commercial was very similar to the film technology work
that Beverly does on movies like Inception or Interstellar. “I specialize in
getting shots that are either cost-prohibitive or physically impossible to do,”
he says. An example is the shot in Inception with the castle collapsing on a
mountain. Beverly and his team built a “miniature” that was five stories tall
with hydraulics designed to get the exact timing for how the hotel collapses.
“Basically you design the rigs that are going to do the action and then you
build the set around the rig,” he says. If everyone had a car that lifted itself
over traffic, it wouldn’t be quite as useful, and the SUV drives over a line of
cars that is clearly aligned for the stunt to work. But before you start trying to
build one of these for yourself, Beverly points out that it doesn’t move very
quickly. He had to use a hydraulic motor to create the forward speed for the
car while it was lifted up. “But that’s just the nature of the beast,” he says.
“The producer, James, I think he wanted things to go a little bit faster, but
every director wants it to be bigger or faster.”
There are three levers where the center seat heaters and climate control
should be. One controls the actuators that move the wheels outward, away
from the center. Another extends the legs vertically, pushing the car up
onto stilts that make it tall enough to clear a Honda Accord. The third is
the throttle for creeping over standstill traffic.
Fig1.1 - Frame

First, the 45-degree steel outriggers push the wheels sideways, out from
the center of the car. Then, secondary pistons lift the whole thing up. To
actually move forwards and backward, thin motors are lodged in the
wheels. These cam lobe hydraulic motors—the type of thing you'd find on
heavy lifting equipment—move the car, very slowly. The Hum Rider's top
speed comes in about 15 mph. However, it all sounds much more
impressive considering this car north of 8,000 pounds—more than double
the wait of your average coupe.
To design this four-wheeled wonder and make sure all those parts work in
concert, Beverly and Thompson used CAD software called Solidworks to
invent the Hum Rider. They first created a virtual concept and checked the
design and hydraulics for fit and function.
"Ten, 15 years ago, I drafted out parts for people to cut by hand, to drill by
hand," Beverly says. "Now, with water jet cutting, laser cutting, plasma
12 | P a g e
cutting, we send the files straight from the CAD program to a machine. A
file with all the dimensions of a specific metal piece goes from the
computer to a five-axis laser-cutting rig. The machine reads the
dimensions and spins a hunk of metal, precisely cutting out pieces that
then fit together like Lego. This modern tech makes an 8-week deadline
achievable rather than a logistical impossibility.
If the specs and design didn't make it obvious, the Hum Rider is an
impractical, ridiculous attempt for internet fame and luckily a menace
you'll never see on the road. But that doesn't make the engineering any
less impressive.

(Mechanism of Elevating Car)
14 | P a g e
1.1 Mechanism of Elevating Car
The elevating car is based on the hydraulic jack; pneumatic jack, scissors jack
or screw jack that means the elevating mechanism of the car is done by
hydraulic jack or screw jack, mechanism. The hydraulic elevating car
mechanism is similar to the arm mechanism of restored and hydraulic jack.
The hydraulic jack mechanism is used on all wheelshorizontally for
expanding and vertically for elevating. During expanding the breadth or
width is become large which is more than the normal and non-expanding
cars. And after the elevating of the car the height of the car is increase. Since
the height and width had been increased therefore it can pass easily over a car
in traffic. By using this mechanism, we can save the time.
15 | P a g e
Fig1.2- Passing the Car Over the Other Traffic
“But in the project, we used the screw jack mechanism and sliding
mechanism for elevating and expanding and vice-versa, which is fully
automated which is driven by a motor (12V and 100 RPM). The project
(elevating Car) steering is based on the rack and pinion which is fully
automated driven by a single motor 12V and 10 RPM. It is two wheels drive
and two wheels steering also”.

2. MECHANISM WHICH MAY BE USED FOR
18 | P a g e
2.1.1 How Hydraulic Jacks Work
Two common types of hydraulic jacks include bottle jacks and floor
jacks.
Bottle jack became popular in the early 1900s when the automobile
industry began to take off. Also called hand jacks, bottle jacks provided
an easy way for an individual to lift up a vehicle for roadside
inspection or service. Their resemblance to milk bottles earned bottle jacks
their name—today, they range in size and weight to offer a lifting capability
ranging from one hundred to several tons. Bottle jacks feature a vertical shaft,
19 | P a g e
which supports a platform (called a bearing pad) that directly bears the
weight of the object as it is lifted.
Although they are most commonly used in the automobile industry (1.5 to 5-
ton jacks are frequently used to lift cars), bottle jacks have other uses as well.
In the medical industry they can be used in hydraulic stretchers and patient
lifts. In industrial applications, they can be found as pipe benders used in
plumbing, as cable slicers for electrical projects, and as material lifts within
warehouses. Their ability to lift heavy loads plays a big role in enabling the
repair of large agricultural machinery and in many construction operations.
Bottle jacks can be secured within a frame, mounted on a beam, or simply
used as they are for easier jack transportation.
20 | P a g e
1.1.4 Floor Jacks
Unlike bottle jack shafts, the shaft in a floor jacks is horizontal the shaft
pushes on a crank that connects to a lifting pad, which is then lifted
horizontally. Floor jacks typically provide a greater range of vertical lift than
bottle jacks and are available in two sizes. The original jack is about four feet
long, a foot wide, and weights around 200 pounds they can lift 4-10 tons. A
more compact model was later made, which is about three feet in length, and
can lift 11/2 tons. Although “mini jacks” are also produced, they are not a
recognized standard type of floor jack. Typically, one of the first two sizes
should be used.
21 | P a g e
1.2 Screw Jack Mechanism
22 | P a g e
A screw jack is a gearbox assembly (either worm gear or bevel gear) and a
transmission product (lead screw, ball screw or roller screw) which through
use of a motor is used to convert rotary into linear motion. They can be used
to push, pull, tension, lock, unlock, tilt, pivot, roll, slide and lift or lower
loads, anything from a few kilos to thousands of tons. Screw jacks are
essential components in automated machinery. Safety and legislative
concerns drive the automation of handling and lifting of heavy loads,
particularly in regions which have developed workplace and health and safety
legislation.
Demand for increased safety, in the event of power loss, screw jacks
can be self-locking
Demand for machinery that operates with better energy efficiency
Demand for machinery that operates greater levels of precision
Machinery that requires less maintenance
Machinery that requires less manual intervention to set up processes
Increased range of actuation in terms of variable positioning

The most common variant in the US is the 6 volt square-base battery with
spring terminals. In Europe the most common is the 4.5 volt flat-pack types
6 volts
The 6-volt variety typically has spring or screw terminals. Different types
have different internal construction; the same package size may be made up
with "D" size or "F" size cells, giving different capacity. A rechargeable
version, comprising a three-cell sealed lead-acid battery with a lower capacity
than primary versions, has also been marketed. They are also used in the
construction industry for powering flashing lights at roadworks.

7.5 volts
The 7.5-volt version has screw terminals and rectangular base. A carrying
handle is usually connected between the terminals.
12 volts
The 12-volt version has screw terminals and a rectangular base. Since it is 12-

3.2 DC MOTORS
A DC motor is any of a class of rotary electrical machines that converts direct
current electrical energy into mechanical energy. The most common types
rely on the forces produced by magnetic fields. Nearly all types of DC motors
have some internal mechanism, either electromechanical or electronic, to
periodically change the direction of current flow in part of the motor.
DC motors were the first type widely used, since they could be powered from
existing direct-current lighting power distribution systems. A DC motor's
speed can be controlled over a wide range, using either a variable supply
voltage or by changing the strength of current in its field windings. Small DC
motors are used in tools, toys, and appliances. The universal motor can
operate on direct current but is a lightweight motor used for portable power
tools and appliances. Larger DC motors are used in propulsion of electric
vehicles, elevator and hoists, or in drives for steel rolling mills. The advent of
power electronics has made replacement of DC motors with AC
motors possible in many applications.

3.2.1 Electro Magnetic Motor
The total amount of current sent to the coil, the coil's size and what it's
wrapped around dictate the strength of the electromagnetic field created.
The sequence of turning a particular coil on or off dictates what direction the
effective electromagnetic fields are pointed. By turning on and off coils in
sequence a rotating magnetic field can be created. These rotating magnetic
fields interact with the magnetic fields of the magnets (permanent
or electromagnets) in the stationary part of the motor (stator) to create a force
on the armature which causes it to rotate. In some DC motor designs the
stator fields use electromagnets to create their magnetic fields which allow
greater control over the motor.
At high power levels, DC motors are almost always cooled using forced air.
33 | P a g e
Different number of stator and armature fields as well as how they are
connected provide different inherent speed/torque regulation characteristics.
The speed of a DC motor can be controlled by changing the voltage applied
to the armature. The introduction of variable resistance in the armature circuit
or field circuit allowed speed control. Modern DC motors are often controlled
by power electronics systems which adjust the voltage by "chopping" the DC
current into on and off cycles which have an effective lower voltage.
Since the series-wound DC motor develops its highest torque at low speed, it
is often used in traction applications such as electric locomotives, and trams.
The DC motor was the mainstay of electric traction drives on both electric
and diesel-electric locomotives, street-cars/trams and diesel electric drilling
rigs for many years. The introduction of DC motors and an electrical
grid system to run machinery starting in the 1870s started a new second
Industrial Revolution. DC motors can operate directly from rechargeable
batteries, providing the motive power for the first electric vehicles and
today's hybrid cars and electric cars as well as driving a host of cordless tools.
Today DC motors are still found in applications as small as toys and disk
drives, or in large sizes to operate steel rolling mills and paper machines.
Large DC motors with separately excited fields were generally used with
winder drives for mine hoists, for high torque as well as smooth speed control
using thyristor drives. These are now replaced with large AC motors with
variable frequency drives.
34 | P a g e
electric locomotives they also use their DC motors as generators to slow
down but dissipate the energy in resistor stacks. Newer designs are adding
large battery packs to recapture some of this energy.
35 | P a g e
The brushed DC electric motor generates torque directly from DC power
supplied to the motor by using internal commutation, stationary magnets
(permanent or electromagnets), and rotating electromagnets.
Advantages of a brushed DC motor include low initial cost, high
reliability, and simple control of motor speed. Disadvantages are high
maintenance and low life-span for high intensity uses. Maintenance
involves regularly replacing the carbon brushes and springs which carry
the electric current, as well as cleaning or replacing the commutator.
These components are necessary for transferring electrical power from
outside the motor to the spinning wire windings of the rotor inside the
motor. Brushes are usually made of graphite or carbon, sometimes with
added dispersed copper to improve conductivity. In use, the soft brush
material wears to fit the diameter of the commutator and continues to
wear. A brush holder has a spring to maintain pressure on the brush as it
shortens. For brushes intended to carry more than an ampere or two, a
flying lead will be molded into the brush and connected to the motor
terminals. Very small brushes may rely on sliding contact with a metal
brush holder to carry current into the brush or may rely on a contact
spring pressing on the end of the brush. The brushes in very small, short-
lived motors, such as are used in toys, may be made of a folded strip of
metal that contacts the commutator.

Fig3.2.2. - Brushed Motors
3.2.3 BrushlessMotors
Typical brushless DC motors use one or more permanent magnets in the rotor
and electromagnets on the motor housing for the stator. A motor controller
converts DC to AC. This design is mechanically simpler than that of brushed
motors because it eliminates the complication of transferring power from
37 | P a g e
outside the motor to the spinning rotor. The motor controller can sense the
rotor's position via Hall effect sensors or similar devices and can precisely
control the timing, phase, etc., of the current in the rotor coils to optimize
torque, conserve power, regulate speed, and even apply some braking.
Advantages of brushless motors include long life span, little or no
maintenance, and high efficiency. Disadvantages include high initial cost, and
more complicated motor speed controllers. Some such brushless motors are
sometimes referred to as "synchronous motors" although they have no
external power supply to be synchronized with, as would be the case with
Fig3.2.3 - BrushlessMotors
38 | P a g e
3.2.4 Uncommitted
Homopolar motor – A homopolar motor has a magnetic field along the axis
of rotation and an electric current that at some point is not parallel to the
magnetic field. The name homopolar refers to the absence of polarity change.
Homopolar motors necessarily have a single-turn coil, which limits them to
very low voltages. This has restricted the practical application of this type of
motor.
A ball bearing motor is an unusual electric motor that consists of two ball
bearing-type bearings, with the inner races mounted on a common conductive
shaft, and the outer races connected to a high current, low voltage power
supply. An alternative construction fits the outer races inside a metal tube,
while the inner races are mounted on a shaft with a non-conductive section
(e.g. two sleeves on an insulating rod). This method has the advantage that
the tube will act as a flywheel. The direction of rotation is determined by the
initial spin which is usually required to get it going.
A PM motor does not have a field winding on the stator frame, instead
relying on PMs to provide the magnetic field against which the rotor field
interacts to produce torque. Compensating windings in series with the
armature may be used on large motors to improve commutation under load.
Because this field is fixed, it cannot be adjusted for speed control. PM fields
39 | P a g e
(stators) are convenient in miniature motors to eliminate the power
consumption of the field winding. Most larger DC motors are of the
"dynamo" type, which have stator windings. Historically, PMs could not be
made to retain high flux if they were disassembled; field windings were more
practical to obtain the needed amount of flux. However, large PMs are costly,
as well as dangerous and difficult to assemble; this favors wound fields for
large machines.
To minimize overall weight and size, miniature PM motors may use high
energy magnets made with neodymium or other strategic elements; most such
are neodymium-iron-boron alloy. With their higher flux density, electric
machines with high-energy PMs are at least competitive with all optimally
designed singly fed synchronous and induction electric machines. Miniature
motors resemble the structure in the illustration, except that they have at least
three rotor poles (to ensure starting, regardless of rotor position) and their
outer housing is a steel tube that magnetically links the exteriors of the curved
field magnets.
There are three types of electrical connections between the stator and rotor
possible for DC electric motors: series, shunt/parallel and compound (various
blends of series and shunt/parallel) and each has unique speed/torque
characteristics appropriate for different loading torque profiles/signatures.
41 | P a g e
Series connection
A series DC motor connects the armature and field windings in series with
a common D.C. power source. The motor speed varies as a non-linear
function of load torque and armature current; current is common to both the
stator and rotor yielding current squared (I^2) behavior. A series motor has
very high starting torque and is commonly used for starting high inertia loads,
such as trains, elevators or hoists. This speed/torque characteristic is useful in
applications such as dragline excavators, where the digging tool moves
rapidly when unloaded but slowly when carrying a heavy load.

4.2 STEERING
A rack and pinion are commonly found in the steering mechanism of cars or
other wheeled, steered vehicles. Rack and pinion provides a less efficient
mechanical than other mechanisms such as recirculation, but less backlash
and greater feedback, or steering "feel". Arthur Ernest Bishop invented the
use of a variable rack (still using a normal pinion) in the 1970s, to improve
vehicle response and steering "feel," especially at high speeds. He also
created a low-cost press forging process to manufacture the racks, eliminating
the need to machine the gear teeth. Generally, a steering system in modern
vehicle either commercial or owned consists of a Rack and Pinion gear
combination. Where the pinion is connected to the steering wheel through
steering column and while rotation the steering the pinion is rotated which is
in mesh with the rack which converts the rotational motion into linear
motions which moves the wheels with various geometry and positioning of
the steering unit. In India the cars are mostly found to be front wheel drive
and with the arrangement with drive shafts it made the turning of the wheels
limited. Rack-and-pinion steering is quickly becoming the most common type
of steering on cars, small trucks and SUVs. It is actually a simple mechanism.
A rack-and-pinion gear set is enclosed in a metal tube, with each end of the
rack protruding from the tube. A rod, called a tie rod, connects to each end. of
the rack, Fig 4.2.1-
