Abstract: A motorcycle simulator which is capable of providing six degrees of movement freedom to realistically simulate the sensory cues experienced while operating a high performance motorcycle.
Abstract: A gun equilibrator is shown including a driven shaft connected to the gun which compresses coned-disc springs as movement of the shaft lowers the elevated gun. The shaft is driven by a rotating drive nut that has acme threads engaging similar threads on the driven shaft. The simple design permits the compressed springs to equilibrate the gun while the acme threads absorb recoil forces.
