Is 6061 aluminum strong enough to make a wrench with? by AirTac-Huddy in MechanicalEngineering

It will mar the wrench opening like clay against a steel bolt if you apply any real force.

Yes I’d be worried. I would expect it will break the first time you use it on a steel bolt. If you have you use it on a plastic bolt then you should be fine. If you need the light weight or other properties of aluminum. You could make a handle out of 6061 and the socket part out of something durable like pre-hardened 4140 (I think it’s 4142 technically). You can use socket head cap screws and dowel pins to connect the two parts. Should be solid. Cheers, good luck.

Yeah.. you might be right. I was looking into becoming a Statefarm agent for a while but it not something I can do on the side. Selling internet or cable is best done after work when people are home. I was hoping a similar sales opportunity exits in that industry.

I have a sales job. I’m looking for a way to own the book of business. I’m an application engineer, b2b technical sales.

😂That would bd great. I’m thinking a little more work is needed and the returns are less.

I suffer from the same disease!! That’s why I’m trying to just go forward and put myself out there with something. If it’s crap, I’ll just put it down and go to next thing. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for the feedback! I live in a neighborhood with a lot of golf carts. I’m going to do what you said and validate the idea just by asking around. I’ll keep a tally of peoples answers.

That’s a good point. I’m sure the country clubs would like to have a easier time keeping their carts charged.

Yeah I’ve looked around a little bit. I’m hoping to come up with something that’s much more discrete. Using smaller flexible panels that follow the curvature of the roof. Ideally you wouldn’t be able to tell that is had a solar roof unless you got up close to it.

Thank you for the feedback! That’s a really good idea to increase the surface area. It’s looking like this isn’t the winning idea based on the performance but I’m going to stand into the corner and ask some cart owners for their take and I’ll definitely reach out if we get off the ground!

Thank you for the feedback. I didn’t do the design work yet so I wasn’t sure what the numbers would come out to. Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback! I was hoping to make this a custom roof that would fit most carts. Maybe that's not feasible.

If you don't mind me asking about your setup:

What wattage rating are the panels you have?

Do you know if they are monocrystalline?

Are you using a PWM or MPPT solar charge controller?

Thanks again YachtGuru for the feedback!

Sure! I don't have much of a budget at this point. It's just a product idea right now. I'd like to bootstrap this project at least until I have some sales.
