Mechanical Engineering for Makers - A Hands-on Guide to Designing and Making Physical Things

"A hands-on guide to designing and making physical things"--Front cover.

About the author

Brian Bunnell is a mechanical engineer by education but a tinkerer at heart. He earned his Engineering Degree from Clemson University in 2000 and has been working in mechanical design ever since. Brian began tinkering early on (creating crazy projects with his Dad), and Making quickly became his lifelong passion.

Samer Najia holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Duke University and an MBA from American University, but he is a passionate serial Maker, particularly of things that move and especially of things that fly. Samer started building at age six and never stopped. His projects just seem to get bigger over time.

Summary

This practical, user-friendly reference book of common mechanical engineering concepts is geared (no pun intended) toward makers who don't have (or want) an engineering degree but need to know the essentials of basic mechanical elements to successfully accomplish their personal projects.
