Wheelbarrow at the Freilichtmuseum Neuhausen ob Ec...The aim of the report is to examine different materials suitable for a wheelbarrow and new designs and solutions for ease of use of the wheelbarrow.
The design explanation describes the outline of the project. The materials used and the effect wheelbarrows have had on people's lives is also noted in the report. Past design and construction strategies have been noted and a comparison of different wheelbarrows has been done. The bibliography shows resources and websites I have used for research. The appendices display photos taken and orthogonal drawings and also a free body diagram.
Design Explanation
The design for the wheelbarrow I have chosen consists of two wheels placed under the tray at the centre of the wheelbarrow compared to just one individual wheel at the front of most modern wheelbarrows. This extra wheel that is placed beside another wheel at the centre of...
